Monday

Ok it's Monday and I'm still off work with this persistent cough. Visited the doctor yet again and and the conclusion was for me to go for a chest xray tomorrow. She's also signed me off work for another week.

So while I'm off I've managed to get some scrapping done. And I entered a competition. Don't think I'll get anywhere but at least it got my mojo going.
At the moment I'm thinking of having a go at doing 12x6 los. The size seems really manageable an therefore appeals to me. So if you've done any, can you share your los with me please? Oh and also what album you've used. I'm toying with either American Crafts D ring or a Bazzill one.

I've also just started the second book in the Twilight series. Finding it a little difficult to put down!!!

That's all for now so have a good week. Ciao for now xx

The Cupcake Quiz




Your Cupcake Says You Are Your Own Biggest Fan



At parties, you tend to be a social butterfly. You enjoy making conversation and making sure everyone is having fun.



You have absolutely no restraint in your life. You live life with reckless abandon.



The most important thing in your life is love.



You are dominant, vain, and a bit of a show off. To know you is to worship you.



Well darling hubbie does call me a social butterfly so that bit's spot on!!!

Still ill

Finally got an appointment with my doctor who said my chest was very tight!!! Too right! I feel like an old woman or a 20 a day smoker the way I'm coughing. In fact she asked me if I was a smoker!
So now I'm on antibiotics, steriods AND an asthama pump. Just can't wait to get rid of the cough. It really wears me out.

Went to see a panto yesterday at the Theatre Royal in Stratford. I hadn't orginally planned to go but there was a spare ticket on the day so I joined the staff & pupils at the theatre just before the show started. Imran was chuffed to have me there. It was an enjoyable show. The ice cream was nice too!!
But taking 90 kids on the train was a real experience!!




Looking forward to tomorrow....my favourite day of the week...yes!!!

Happy new year

My first post of the new year...took my time didn't I haha.

Awoke this morning to snow. Ok there wasn't tons of it and in fact it's all gone already. But fingers crossed we might get some more.

Went back to work today but still got an awful cough which doesn't seem to want to shift. I've been drinking a fab herbal tea from Whittards that my darling hubbie got for me...Lemon, Ginger & Echinacea which is supposed to boost your immune system. Well admittedly since drinking I haven't left as lethargic so it seems to be working.

What else is new..well nothing really except to wish that 2009 is a happy and healthy year. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Sad news

On Wednesday 10th Dec we received some tragic news. My cousin Shabbir's wife Nafisa had suffered a fatal accident. They were out on their motorbike when they had a collision with another. The force caused Nafisa bhaibi to fall off the back of the bike, where she was sitting, & fell on the ground hitting her head badly. She died not long after.
My mum & I are so so upset. It's hard to come to terms with it. She was only in her late thirties & has left behind a teenage son. Shabbir is obviously distraught at the loss of his "jaan" - Nafisa was his everything.
