Wedding, Cairo, and Cross Stitch!

It's official. (Almost).

My Birth Certificate came in the post the other day, and so Steve and I are saving up to pay for out wedding. We'll have enough to book it and pay for it by the end of February. So we'll be getting married this year. Before October. There is reason for the time limit.

We can go to Cairo for a little over 800 pound, in October, for a week, which will be our honeymoon. We've both wanted to go to Cairo for ages, and it seems like the perfect oppurtunity, now. So, we're saving up, and asking for money towards it, rather than wedding presents, so that we can book it and go!

As Peter Kay would say, Book it, Pack it, F**K off! (Sorry Mum!)

On the Cross Stitch front, it's a HD for Steve. He finished this little number in a matter of days, and it's a lot better than his first cross stitch. The back on his first was a mess, but this one is really good. And it's only his second cross stitch!! The camera on my phone isn't so good, so sorry for the bad quality. I'll be getting a digital camera before we go to Cairo!

See you soon!!

Nothing much to update.

Ok, I know. It's been 8 days. I thought I'd written in here last friday, not thursday. Oops. Atleast I haven't left it for MONTHS and MONTHS!!

There isn't really much to update, to be honest. I've finally caught up on the washing, and I now have Sky TV, but that's literally about it. Oh, and I'm sending off for my Birth Certificate next week, so Steve and I can get married!! I can hardly wait!!

See you in a week!!

Within a Week!

Well. The mound of washing is slowly decreasing, so that's on the up!

Caleb has a fourth tooth. It has cut through within the last couple of days, but I didn't notice until today. He's going to look so cute soon, when it gets a bit longer, and you can see all four! Hehe, I can't wait!

On a slightly sadder note, my fiancée Steve's Dad is in hospital, but they don't know what wrong with him. They thought it was Pneumonia, but when they did the x-ray they couldn't see it, and according to the doctor they would have been able to see "a pneumonia" on the x-ray. So we're just hoping he'll be OK. We took Caleb to see him today, and it certainly lifted his spirits, seeing his grandson for an hour. He looked a lot happier when we left than he did when we got there.

Been watching Krypton Factor on TV lately. It sure is good to see it back. Same with Lark Rise to Candleford.

For those of you that used to watch Sugar Rush, we found out why there wasn't a series 3. It was all planned and the cast had all agreed to it. Channel 4 decided that they didn't have a viewing slot for it. Yet they can repeat Friends every morning, and they put Big Brother on three times a day too. Stupid people. If they pulled their finger out then their ratings would rocket! They need to get a grip on life. We also discovered that they axed another Gay type programme, at around the same time. So we're thinking that maybe they are trying to please the people that don't agree with Lesbians and Gay Men. AND THEN, Channel Four said that series 3 was NEVER planned. Bloody Sods. Axing the good shows, and replacing them with rubbish!

Anyway. Rant Done.

Talk to you within a week! xxx

Update.

OK. Now I know I have more readers than just my Sister and My Mum (Hi Tawny - *waves*), I guess I'll make EVEN MORE of an effort to write in here! I shall make it a *late* New Years Resolution to write in here ATLEAST once a week!

Caleb has a third tooth now, but it's not big enough to see if I take a picture, as it isn't fully grown out yet. His first and second are still uneven, bless him. When I can, I'll take a picture. It's not hugely noticable, but boy did we know about it. It's the only one so far that has bothered him enough to wake him up at night, but now that it's come through it's back to his normal sleep pattern.

We got a new washing machine yesterday, and I have so far done 5 loads of washing. We've not had a working washing machine since august, and my future Mother in Law has been doing one or two loads of washing a week for us, just so we had enough clothes to live in! We have loads to catch up on though, so I've been washing and washing, and it's all drying on the airer and on radiators. It's good, because our house has to be quite warm, because of Caleb, so the washing dries quite fast even when it's not on the radiators.

On a different note, this film I'm watching is really odd. It's called Snow Cake. It's got Alan Rickman in it, and it's good, but wierd!!


Anyway, signing off to watch the film properly.

See you within a week! (Hopefully) x

Happy New Year!

I still don't know why I bother writing in here. No one reads it.

Oh well. Christmas is over now, and New Year is slowly sauntering towards us. I love christmas, but I am so glad it's out of the way now - it's so much stress sometimes! Despite that, I had an amazing christmas, and Caleb made it even better. It was so good to have him there, and on the saturday after christmas, yesterday, he started crawling. He's oh so slow, but he can do it. He can walk too, with a walker - not the seat type ones, but the ones that he actually has to stand and walk behind, rather than sitting in it.. His Grandma Kate and Grandad Graham got him one for Christmas, and he loves it. He's only fallen over once, lol.

I got some amazing presents for christmas, mostly from Steve, but his Mum and Dad did get me a Winnie The Pooh hot water bottle, which just made me giggle. They got me some slippers too, lol. I already have slippers AND - get this - the one's they got me were too small!!!! And flowery. Meh. Those of you that know me (and when you bother to read my blog) know I don't like flowers. Blue slippers with daisies on are not the best option for me lol. I got a nice scarf from his Grandma too, and a cross stitch pattern from his Sister, Shona.

I'll try to get on here more often now that Caleb doesn't need my constant attention. I have more spare time now, lol.

Anyway. Here's a few pictures, as an update from me. Comment if you want one or more of them. xx

He loved his Christmas Dinner!!

And I thought this bib was amazing!! My Mums friend, Liz, bought it for him.The bib says Santa's Helper. I love it.You know it had to be done. We put all the wrapping paper in the playpen, around him, purely so I could take this picture, Lol. You love it too!! The whole christmas outfit!

Enjoy, and have an awesome new year!! xxx

Not long til Christmas!

This month has gone really quickly, as has the rest of the year. Caleb's second tooth cut through the other day, so he now has two, although one is decidely taller than the other. I would get a picture, but he won't let me near his mouth long enough. It's his two front teeth, which is ironic considering we are now on the run up to Christmas. It's the bottom two though, rather than the top two. So not quite the same but there you go.

I forgot to post this picture on the last blog. It's Caleb on Hallowe'en. I thought he looked really sweet, so here you go.

Hope you love this picture as much as I do.

Enjoy, and I shall post more soon.

November already.

Madness. I can't believe how fast this year has gone! Seems like it was only a month ago (tops!) since Caleb was born! I know it's been just over 7months now, but it really doesn't seem it!! Oh well.

Hallowe'en was fun. Being a Friday, Steve and I went and did all our normal shopping - with a pumpkin thrown in! - and then got the house ready for our 'party'. Steve's Mum and Dad, his Mum's friend Maureen and Maureen's 3year old Granddaughter Ellie came over, and we ate and drank (Punch - not alcohol!) and just had fun really. Ellie was a bit OTT, but oh well. Steve's Mum gave her a torch, and she thought it was the best thing in the world, and - despite the fact Caleb was in bed - she danced around and shouted and screeched without a care in the world! Luckily she didn't wake Caleb.

My sister found it quite funny that Caleb got his tooth. Her comment was something along the lines of "aww he can bite you now" - which I already knew because that's how I discovered he had a tooth so :p to you Mel!!

Anyway, I'm trying to watch Brittania High while writing this, and I can smell the delights the Steve is cooking up for Dinner - no idea what it is but what the hell, it's normally something gorgeous, him being a Chef - wafting in from the Kitchen, so I guess I'll head off, and I'll be sure to post another blog when I have anything interesting to say!

Oh - Caleb has over 40 bibs!! OMG!
