Easter gift...

Here is my first proper candle the i have decorated, im quite happy with it :) It's turned out well, no drips of wax or anything either!!

Ive entered this into the penny black sat challenge as it's 'something to eat!'

Unforunatly we have to do SHOE shopping today...... what a nightmare thats going to be!!

 The kids both have £20 each to spend on a pair of school shoes.... most of the ones i have seen have been way more expensive than that or the cheaper ones are really cheap and nasty....

Have a nice weekend x

Doctor, doctor......

Hey all,

 It's a REALLY dull day here today - boo!

We had fun yesterday with kobe, we told him he could buy a dr who tardis from tesco out of his birthday money as we'd seen them the other week for £7.50 in there...... 3 tescos, 1 argos, 2 asdas and lots of tears later we had to order one from ebay for twice the price as no where had them!!! 

What a fun afternoon that was, lol :)

Chilling out this morning then shopping later. 

Have a nice day all xx

My Little Mans 4th Birthday.......

We were all up yesterday quite early waiting for Kobe to wake up..... he didn't, lol :) we all went and woke the birthday boy up about 8.30am!

Here is is opening his presents

After all that was spent on his presents, this was his fave, a 99p mini with sweets in! lol :) at least it wasn't a box or wrapping paper!!

Here is me and my big man :)

Here is kobes yummy birthday cake.... i could lie and say i baked it but we bought it from asda, lol :)

The big birthday boy blowing his candles out :)

After all this in the morning we went to one of those indoor play areas for kids with climbing frames and slides and the kids loved it :) it was one of the best ones we've been to before tho :)

After a good play and working up an apatite, we went to a Chinese restaurant and had a lovely buffet, the kids enjoyed it :) They ate quite abit! lol :)

After we got home the kids had a play and then we all watched the Igor movie :) it wasn't to bad :)

Kobe had a lovely 4th Birthday xx

Note pads

10p smartprice note pads.... pretty boring and plain!

Lots of people recently have said about buying these and decorating them so when i went on my food shop last night i bought a couple (the 1st one went wrong! lol, dont ask me how but it did!)
Here is my end result -
Some dovecraft paper, quickie glue pen, glamour dust, peel off boarder and a heart gem
