Bitterly sweet sides of life.

Jay is going through a growth spurt again! I can't believe how much he has grown in such a short time. I said to Mike we'd be better off buying his school uniform shortly before he goes back to school or it's not going to fit him, he really is growing like a weed lol. I'll be looking for some more trousers over the next couple of days, and I might get the sewing machine out and make a couple of these pairs into long shorts, since they're in good condition still.
Jay also did really well in his achievements last term too, he's received a medal for everything achieved in year 6, a certificate and pin badge for a cycling course, and he's also got two certificates, a rosette, two pin badges and two photographs for his horse riding with the RDA. He has pretty much worn the rosette and medal on a daily basis, he's done really well for himself and I'm very proud of him. 
He's really done us all very, very proud :) 


Andrew is teething, he's had 5 teeth through in the matter of a short few weeks, the rest at the front all look as though they are on the gum line, I've been told about some really good teething powders, they're natural too and an absolute godsend.. they even stop upset tummies that they often get with teething, I really don't know where I'd be without them. But I'll still be glad when it's all over for him (Lots of love and huggles all round in the meantime too) x


Well as for the me bit, I've got my new soap molds, and I'll be cooking up some soaps tomorrow lol, I've promised Kellie I'll send her some too.. I'll post some pics when I can :) 
I've also got my new scrap book, I've had it for a couple of weeks, the front is all set up, I'll start some pages when I get a little quiet time at a decent hour, (But right now it's 2am). I'm really looking forward to getting all my good memories into my new 'good memories book'. It's something we can work on together.
I also want to have a blast at making a quilt out of Andrews outgrown clothes, it will make a cute memory blanket too - it's just a case of getting my marbles and the time for everything. 
Anyway I'll update as soon as I can with piccys and the what-nots as right now I am so ready for my bed lol
have a great day/Night.


Take care as always

Parts of my new hobby things have arrived, I've quit drinking and I've decided to do something a little constructive with my time, I've brought some candle wax flakes, soap base and bits and bobs to add colour  and scents, if you haven't guessed, to make candles and soap lol. (No it wont stop me treating myself to bits from other people hehe).  
I've also brought some molds to do some things with Jordan, I've brought some Easter egg shaped molds that will allow him to make little eggs for Easter. (I've got ideas for other molds... but we all start somewhere). x I'm looking forward to it, there are still a few bits to arrive before I can start, but I'm starting to feel like almost as excited as a little child lol.
