I had half day yesterday from work, which I was really looking forward to (more so than any other time off from work to be honest!) as for the past 2 weeks, I have been covering 4 peoples work loads. Stress, quite simply, wasn't the word! One of my team members has been in Egypt (slightly concerned about him now due to the bomb attacks) 1 has been off for 6 weeks because she is pregnant and suffering badly from the sickness (should be passing soon, fingers crossed!) and the other has been off
Well, had a busy day today..... Had mini-raven all to myself this morning as Mr Raven works on Saturday mornings. Mini-raven can, rather scarily do a 54 piece puzzle quicker than me. Took her less than 10 minutes to do it!! Not sure if thats normal or not.... or if I am particulary slow at doing puzzles? (which seems more likely!)Anyway, once Mr Raven came home, we wizzed off to Bluewater as Mini-raven has a 4th Birthday Party to go to tomorrow afternoon. Never bought anything for a little
Ummm, as some of you may already know, I had a couple of drinks last night (I did actually only have a couple, however, they were my measures of spirits, rather than the normal pub measures)Well, by the early hours of the morning, I was hanging on to Mr Raven for dear life, after loosing the ability to put one foot infront of the other to go to bed. The poor soul even had to undress me and put my nightie on whilst I lolled about over the bed.After tucking me in, and putting a bucket next to th
thank you for all the messages since I posted about my mouth ulcer last week. Because nothing much exciting actually happens in my life, I felt it was worthy of another blog entry!!I never did get round to going to the Chemist for the Anbesol (however, I shall stock up on some when I do go to the Chemist) I was planning on taking a walk round there saturday morning, but for those who read my entry entitled 'Sick of the self inflicted kind' will know why I didnt venture into daylight for the da
Well, have just come back from a lovely day at the Beach. Had a fabarooni time (I really must stop watching the Tweenies) the weather was perfect (a tad hot in my jeans - but not boiling) and the sun went in the clouds every now and again giving some rest bite. (trust me to have left my sunglasses at home)After being slightly traumatized on the drive down there by a squashed badger on the A21 (poor little thing) and a couple of run over phesants, we parked the car (eventually!) and headed str
As some of you will know (as I haven't shut up about it!) Mini-Raven started school today.This morning, she seemed a little quiet, so I asked her how she was feeling about starting school. She said she was frightened incase she didnt make any friends. I reassured her that she would, and that all the other children are feeling like she was this morning.We had to drop her off at 9.30am, and we walked her into the class room. Her eyes filled up with tears when we had to leave, but after a cuddl
Well, its Mr Raven's birthday on Monday, and he is hitting the big 13 30. (this strike out comes in handy!) Today, me and mini raven went shopping to get the last of his presents. I had already bought him (well, and me aswell!) tickets to see Scrooge the Musical at the West End. Then I got him the usual silly present (handy hints around the house type book thingy) and today, me and mini raven chose some aftershave for him. We ended up cornered in Boots by an over helpful shop assistant who
Arrrgggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
But I am pleased to say trawling behind impossibly slow people who suddenly stop infront of me in a packed shopping centre is over for another year. Not to mention some mothers with buggies who can only steer in a straight line (into my dainty ankles).
Just the stuff I can order off the internet (CD's/DVD's etc) for me left. Mr Raven, being the laid back soul that he is won't do his Christmas shopping until Saturday 24th December. (Lets hope they still have Take
and now, the end is near, and 2005 must face the final curtain.....
Just over an hour left before I can say:
I'm 30 next year
Mini raven is 5 (tomorrow)
Mr Raven is a big 32 next year (mentally just about reaching 13)
Seriously - everyone - happy new year, and I hope that 2006 is the year for you all
I was 40 week +10 days pregnant 5 years ago and 2 hours away from my first labour pain..... time flies!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well, finally spring has sprung - along with snow that settled (well, a decent settle, unlike 2 weeks ago!) Anyway, here are some pics - and a few pics of mini-raven 'catalogue posing' which did make me smile.
Hopefully the pictures should be in this order...
