tantalising tuesday

[Michele]

Good morning! 

It's Tuesday again, and the rain has stopped at last (doesn't really look like it's stopped for long though).

My ironing pile had grown hugely lately, so besides a little bit of chipboard covering - and maybe a trip to the shops to get a couple of things I need for Angel ATC's  - I think I'm stuck behind the ironing board today. Oh yes, and the leaves in the pool are getting out of control too [Sigh].

Hope you all have a good one!

could do with a Nana nap - no sleep in this morning
DS2 needed to be at school BY 7am - so that meant I took the other 2 to school later at a more reasonable time

took DS2's new (as in he has used it for 2 weeks) HP laptop back to HN
totally pissed - Hubby has spent hours installing all the needed programs and protections on it and it DON'T work now
apparently the hard drive is dead and it will take weeks to get it back all fixed up
mutter mutter

Happy mail from the States - some yummy punches.

It rained this morning quite heavily but the sun it out this afternoon - thank goodness.

Found out via Facebook that I was going to be a MIL - but now I am not. Seems that the happy couple did not realise how upset families (hers - since I did not know at all  and therefore could not get upset  ) tend to get when they find out the happy news via a Facebook page. Lmao - teenagers.

Sigh - anyone want a spare teen?? It's a 2 for 1 deal - you get the GF attached at the hip with him!!

Gawwwwwwwwd Ngaire 
You can have 'em thanks 

[Ngaire]

sigh - just back from the morning school run - t'was later than I wanted to be and spent 10 mins just crawling in line to the school gates.
I HATE peak hour school traffic.

Going back for a nap for an hour or so (did not sleep well last night) and then getting up to do some stuff.
Taking DS1 to TAFE at lunch and then on to the computer store to get me a new DVD player. Ours had a small accident and has to be replaced. 

Gonna buy me some flower fluff stuff - cannot remember it's name (flower soft??). Want to make a mossy look for a chippy lightpost I have to go with some of the green 7 Gypsies papers.

By the time I get back from all this (the computer place is a half hour away) it will be time for the pm school run. Sigh.

Then I will need to supervise someone's physics experiment re-write (translation - make him go do it) since I totally trashed his original version last night when I drafted it for him. DS2 hates me drafting, cause I make him do more than his own teacher does - he thinks I have a red pen addiction. Lmao My response is that I KNOW what he is capable of doing when he is not being lazy and his teacher does not - so that is why I ask for more.

Right at this moment though I am happily browsing through a box of scrappy goodness (mostly charms and smaller stuff like that) I got this morning.

I love my flower soft Ngaire!! It's very addictive 
Well, we had one heck of a storm today. Our backyard was flooded-again. We lost power for about 4 hours and silly old me left Emily's window open while we did the school run so now her carpet stinks 
It was a looooooooooooong day.

It poured here last night & that is probably an understatement!! I think i had better drive the 4WD to work today as i am expecting to drive through some water somewhere.

DD #1 starts Uni today So i will be thinking of her all day & hoping her 1st day goes well.

After work i will be getting some essentials in Coles as another lot of torrential rain is expected this arvo. If this continues we may get cut off from town for a day or two.

Hope you all have a great day & those of you in SE QLD stay dry. Take Care!

I love waking up to the sound of rain!!  Hate driving in it though   It's raining pretty heavily here too - must get the kids ready a little earlier cause I can imagine the traffic.

I'm planning on scrapping today after the housework is finished. Making some charms to hang from my tags and mini albums. Should be fun!

Hope you all have a lovely day and stay dry

Good morning girls, was woken up early this morning with the rain coming through the top window & boy was it pouring - love love love it !!

Did some housework (as much as I wanted to) completely did my bedroom - now thats a start !!  Changed the bed setting - so did some washing

Was going to scrap - plans changed - so off to shower & get a little blinged as expecting guests later

Ooooh it's lovely looking at everything green again, puts a smile on my face

Have a great day girls and take care

[Antique girl]

Ooooh so I get back here & everyone is out & about or had scrap heaven   have to do some cooking now

Guests have left & not planning on anything apart from going to bed after dinner

Oh got some yummy happy mail  yay !!

[Ngaire]

Raining here off and on all day too.

Just fiddled today. Bits and pieces.

Had to take some photos of some layouts - horrid weather for it - not happy Jan with the finished photos, but no choice really as I need them to email off.

At least the March Inspiration challenge is up now.

A little scrapping tonight too I think - again just fiddling about.

I also need to update everyone I can think of with our new email address - sigh, there are so many 'odd and sometimes only' email things that I am sure to forget to update someone important.

My little boy was a bit off today so nothing got done. Lots of cuddles on the lounge which was nice.

[Karlene]

I've been a bit awol lately Sorry girls. I used up my internet allowance and have been running off fumes LOL Still have one more day to go, but I thought I would pop in and say hi

Hope you are all doing well. My free day today, so I am going to get a few projects done so I can upload them tomorrow

Have a lovely Tuesday everyone!!

Spent the morning with Tallulah down by the water - was really lovely

Just folded the washing off the line & going to do a little sewing

Have a lovely day girls

[Ngaire]

very hot too - and muggy too with the heat drying up some of the puddles etc
no power from sometime after 8.30 until lunchtime 
got to reading a book whilst I was waiting for the power to come back - so finishing that before I do anything else

planning on going to the movies later with my bf's - seeing the Sandra Bullock movie
