P.S wooo hoooo !!!!!!!! new background
Forgot to add to post that id just done my new blog background what do you think....???????
lost
Hello to all.
I am so glad january is over as its been a hectic time for me and my family, my weight loss is up and down but i am now back on track.
You see i have been at a loss for the past two weeks, as we lost my gorgeous, precious aunty suddenly,she was only 50 and she died of blood clots ( thrombosis ) which we now think runs in my family as she is the fourth person to suffer.
both her and my mum suffered clots in the legs aged 31, then at 45 it nearly killed my mum as she was in a coma with a clot in the center of her brain for 4 months,she then pulled through only to suffer 2 weeks later and lost all movement on her left side,3 weeks after this she had another behind her eye and lost her sight for 2 weeks......luckily my mum survived but spent over 2 years in hospital .
my grandad had clots and so did my uncle but im not sure how old they were, so at the moment but me and my daughter are undertaking blood tests to see if we carry this so its quite a scary time.
We buried my gorgeous aunty last monday and as you all know the snow hit full force,so trying to get from where we are to rotherham was not so good,she had a good send off but it was a very very emotional day......and grandad i know snow was your favourite but did you have to shower us with so much of the stuff.....im sure this was his way of saying shes safe as shes with me now and after all they always were two peas in a pod.
R.I.P. aunty christine, you were the sunshine that lit up all of ours lives... youve left a hole in our hearts forever, we will miss you and love you always xxxxxxxx
This loss has made me realise life and time are two short cherish those you love and always remember to say have i told you lately that i love you......to your familys.......
With love and hugs

the big move
good afternoon all and a very merry christmas to everyone, hope santa brought each of you something nice or yummy.
well the move is finally completed and we are loving our new abode it is so peacefull here, although im sure it will take us some time to get completely settled and sorted, as it was a nightmare of the first order lol.
we couldnt get our furniture in through the doors we had to take everything through the garage, so for the first few days we sat our weary bottoms on garden chairs,and we ate takeaway as we had no idea how the cooker worked lol, chef im not !!!!
then we thought oh no we are going to have to take our settes up and over the garage roof and in through the back way to get them in, but no my clever hubby and a friend managed to get them through the back garage doors with a struggle although the conservatary doors did have to come off to get them completely in to the room but they are now in and its so nice to sit my bottom on softness lol.
then to top it off we couldnt find the one box that was IMPORTANT you guessed it it was one of the xmas pressies from santa a laptop we had got for our daughter so she could keep in contact with her mates which when your 14 is more important than breathing.
well after having the garage upside down we realised it wasnt here so we had to take a trip back to the old place to see if it had been left there but no there was no box i so wanted to cry, so my hubby thinks it was stolen when he went for a loo break while moving boxes into the van from the house so whoever you are you got a damn good early xmas pressie didnt you hope it blows up on ya !!!!!!
So with two days to go before santa was due we had to go out and replace the said laptop hubby was none to pleased but it was worth it to see our daughters face light up like a mountain of fireworks when we finally let her open it on xmas day.
as for me ive been a good girl so santa got me some yummy pressies a gorgoues snuggly cardi from river island that id had my eye on a box full of lush goodies for my nightly soaks in the bath yum...yumm, next gift vouchers and 2 lots of my fave perfumes complete with matching body lotion mmmmm my idea of heaven.
well i hope you all had a very lovely christmas and i wish you all a very happy new year xx

life is not a box of choclates
I feel its finally time to get my life back in order,you see this past year for me has been hell!!! and that is putting it mildly.
it all started last november when we found out our darling son had been the victim of sexual assualt and not just by one person but a gang the leader of this gang was a girl,as you can imagine all sorts were going on in my head to say I wanted to commit murder was an understatement!!!
this led to a police investigation and interviews for my son and daughter which was heartbreaking to watch especially as I knew what they were going through as im a surviour of abuse.
as if that wasnt enough earlier this year my darling hubby was told he had skin cancer and had to have an operation we were both very scared but the support I got was tremendous ladys you know who you are xxx
but to make matters worse my husband changed from being loving to nasty and he did the worst thing he could by hitting out at me,this made me question everything and it has been touch and go for the past few months whether we would make it but we are still together and stronger than ever and the best bit they got all the cancer.
in the summer we got the news that the police were dropping my sons case due to lack of mobile phone evidence ( yes they had taped what they were doing ) even though all had involved had admitted they were they blah blah livid is more than I felt once again the system had protected the guilty, my son can no longer go out as we are scared of what will happen to him this is harder on him than us but as a mum what choice do I have.
we have made the decision to move which has had added complications such as finding new schools and a college for the kids which isnt easy as they are well into their school years and with the boys being autistic this has given my life added stress.
then last week my daughter self harmed luckily it wasnt as bad as it could have been but it made us realise shes not as strong as she was saying and that she has a lot of anger inside due to what happened to her brother ( it was her that intial found out ) plus she feels guilty as we all do especially me as a mum that I couldnt protect him.
over the last few months I have so wanted to commit murder,and give up both at the same time I have found myself going into myself and not wanting to bother with the world but I now realise my kids and my hubby need me to be strong and to get us through whatever life throws at us and today something happened to make me relise im not alone in the world and I cried like a baby something that had been inside of me for a while I think.
On a lighter note ive decided life is for living and to be happy no matter what and I remember a saying my grandad taught me ( love you grandad ) what doesnt kill us only makes us stronger.
after all I have the love of a good family,my few very special friends and friends that I havent met yet but who have shown me I am not alone ladies of cb forum you are a very special bunch but there is one who has gone out of her way to make me a special card and post messages which I recieved today sarah ( tiggertastic ) you are a true friend thank you so much what you did today makes me feel very blessed.
and just to let you know ill be back on the cb forum with a bang and ladies ive MISSED you all too .

lost mojo
Hello again, this week seems to have really flown by,my boys started back to school on tuesday and I began teaching my daughter at home,not an easy task lol, she thinks as im her mum ill go easy on her so weve had quite a few tantrums but now she has realised im not giving in and sending her back to school she seems to have settled into doing the work as today she seemed to enjoy it,ha! ha! wait till she sees what ive got in store for her tomoro,shes gonna hate me!
My gothic rose bracelet and the dasy daisy bracelet have also gone up to Uber this week so hopefully they will have new owners soon.
My mojo seems to have left me in the lurch a little bit this week as I havent really created anything new although this may change tomoro as I should get my parcel of goodies from jilly beads mmmmmmmm.
This week I decided to apply to be on a design team for one of the cb members as I love a challenge and hopefully this will push my boundrys as well to try new things so heres the atc I have created for this weeks challenge.
I hope you like it,its called dare to dream,I used pearlescent watercolour paints in bronze,gold and yellow as a colourwash background,once dry I doodled on it and went over the doodle with glitter,the picture I got from an old mag so a bit of recycle as well,added a bit of sparkle with gems and glittered wings and finally I made a beaded butterfly, not to pleased with this though but then never made a butterfly before,anyway hope you like.
