101 books to read before I die

Hopefully it wont be soon, but I have decided to start reading the 101 books to read before I die list from Exclusive Books. I have already read 27 of them, so will start with the others. I think I am more interested in doing that then watching the movies, lol. So we will have to see how I go.

Worked last night, and my finger was really sore. Colin gave me a script for some antibiotics, which I have started today, hopefully it starts to improve soon. Went to the rustic market for lunch today, otherwise done nothing today, and just planning on rleaxing for the rest of the day.

Hobby X

You know what it is like when you look forward to something for so long, and then it isnt as good as you thought it would be? Well, that is what today was like. First of all, just as we were getting ready to leave, Leo and Dudley had a huge fight, and it took mom, dad and me to seperate them! So we are all in the wars. The 2 dogs are fine, but dad was cut on his hand and lip. I have a huge bruise inside my arm, and cuts on my fingers. Mom has hurt her knee and wrist, and Brenda has scratches on her hand! So that was not a good start! The show itself was also a bit disapointing. They didnt have nearly as many scrapbooking and papercraft stores as usual. I did get a few bargains, but didnt get my H20's that I wanted. Anyway, I did get some lovely paper flowers, and brads, so that was good, as well as a nice punch. Will have a try with it all tomorrow.

Am I sad or what?

I saw this on another blog:

Copy this list, go to your own blog, paste it in and put x’s by the ones that you have seen. Add them up........if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged!

Passed the course

I am so glad that I managed to pass the course! So that is over for 2 years. We got a certificate and a card and everything! I am quite proud of myself. Work today was okay, and now I am off for the weekend. May be doing overtime on Saturday night though. I hope to go to gym on saturday morning. And do some scrapping. Otherwise got no plans, so hope to relax.

First day

Of the course is over. Fortunately for me I managed to pass the test. Of the 8 of us on the course only 5 passed, so I am quite pleased about that. Today we did a lot of practising different scenarios, and tomorrow we are going to do our evaluations. I am quite worried about that. BUt at least having passed the test, I dont have to worry about rewriting. Went to the third session of the Alpha course tonight too. It is really an amazing course, and I am enjoying it so much. Otherwise, it is just 3 more sleeps to Hobby X!

Only one day

left until I do the course. I am going to spend the whole of today studying for it, or I hope to anyway. I found out that Michelle is not running the course but is taking it with us, which is quite a blow. Anyway, I hope to be ready by then. Was going to go to gym with Shirley and Andrea, but now Andrea cant come and Shirley doesnt actually belong, so I will go to the Aqua class this afternoon. Havent been too bad with the diet this weekend, apart from Friday where I hardly ate anything!

Three days..........

Of Hell are over, thank goodness. I cant believe that we can have 2 such impossible days. Betweeen, the staff, the mums and management, I am not sure how I managed to survive! At least it is over now, but now I have to get down to some serious studying. Brenda came up to the hospital today and had her cast removed. I am glad it is finally over, but the arm is a bit weak, and she is battling to write. I hope it improves soon as she has a project to do this weekend.
I got an email today from Alison at Scrapbook Junction to say that they are closing down in August. I am quite sad as that is my favourite shop, and she is such a lovely person and so friendly. She is having a 35% off sale for the rest of the month, so I hope to get there sometime and try and get some bargains.
