Today we went with Rachel Lyndon and thier family who are Leons girllfriend Emilys parents to the Pembrey car show the weather was wet windy and cold but the boys seemed to enjoy the cars where i prefered the fair lol. It was nice to have a day out but to be honest this weather really isnt much of a fun way to spend thier summer break its like last year all over agin. The pool has just sat in the garden for most of the summer lonely and unused as it just hasnt been hot at all.

Party in Penyfan park
Today we were at Party in Penyfan park running a bake sale for the kickboxing team doing fund raising again!! Yes sometimes this does seem never ending but we are trying so so hard to get the kids over to the world championships for free but it is taking a lot of work. We did quite well even though it was raining on and off all day and it was quite cold at times but we struggled through :-). We were there just after 9am and stayed right up untill 7pm and did make over £127.00 which was fantastic and goes toward the fund so it was all worthwhile.
While we were there Leon and his girl firend Emily decided they would go backing for Emilys sister Aimee in the Penyfans got talent contest here is the result lol yes my Leon is the one in the purple dress and blonde wig sit back have a giggle and enjoy!!!!

Happy birthday Jake
It doesnt seem that long ago that he was sleeping in my arms and now he is almost all grown up doesnt it just fly by.
I spent the morning in the car boot sale again raising money for Leon and his team mates im doing that every sunday morning now right up until we go. Then i spoke to Jake when he woke and Leon came down to the car boot sale to meet me and we went into town after. When we got back Jake was given his pressies and then i was out again with Leon to his kick boxing class. Whe we got back we all had some cake and then the boys dissapeared upsatirs on thier computers. We had an Indian take away which was lovely before we settled down and played guitar hero and sing star for the evening which was a lot of fun!!!

Sharing some love xx
Recently a very dear friend of mine told us she had breast cancer. We met on the smo board and she came along to my runboard when i set it up for all of us to have somewhere where we could all go to chat about anything and nothing without being moaned at for being to off topic oe personal. When she told me i was in shock as she is such a loving giving lady who was always joining in exchanges and competitions and always there to chat and i have to say it hit us all very hard there were a lot of tears shed. 
Rose and i chated and we decided that it may be a nice idea to make her a quilt so it would feel like when ever she needed us she could just wrap the quilt around her and we would all be there for her keeping her warm and strong through the difficault days. I pmd everyone on my board and Jacky,Louise,Sarah,Sue,Nicky and her daughter Lyn all joined me and Rose in making squares for the quilt. Lyns friend Lorna who has recently also become a member of the board did a fantastic job in making up the quilt and we are all very grateful for the wonderful job she did as you can see.
Here is Joan with the quilt and i know she loves it as she left a very heart warming thankyou message for us all. Joan we are all here for you and we hope that stay with us for a very long time to come. I would liuke to thank all the girls involved in making this possible as it was worth every minute to make you smile Joan xxxxx

At the beach today
The boys were back at school today and so Donny and I decided to go for a walk down to Llanelli beach which is something we havent done for a while it only takes about 10-15 minutes to walk there and it was still so hot and lovely we thought it would be nice even though his poor eyes are paying for it tonight the hospital has said he needs to try go out in the sun and he has very strong sun glasses but its still so painful for him and i bet he will be paying for it worse tomorrow but it was still nice to get out for a little while just the two of us.
We have had a lovely weekend in the garden in the sun and enjoying the pool we had a bbq last night first one for this year and it was really lovely although playing truth or dare with a 12 and 13 year old can seriously be scary if not so funny!!!!! it was brill!!!!What a nice suprise
There has also been some good news and i can now show you a finish that i did a few weeks ago as Sandra has now recieved it, It was a summer exchange that i am runing for Helga on her yahoo group Sandra said she loved it which was great :-)

And last but by no means least at all here is my lastest wip it is the halloween trick or treat fairy from the magazine Louise kindly got for me from the us last year see i have finally started her!!! i havent got too far as its been nice and ive been in the garden with the boys lol but i have started!!!

The great outdoors
I was very busy yesterday gutting the lawns and my hedges i even had to go into next doors garden and cut down thier side as they cannot be bothered and it had grown upto over 15foot it was blocking all the light by my front door it was very scary climbing up on a ladder so high and trying to balance to reach Jake was holding it for he and helping but boy am i feeling it today my arms ache and my legs are hurting too but i think thats more to do with walking the kids to town around and back this morning the sun has gone today and its colder which is great for Donnys eys as he has been struggling in the bright sun poor thing
I had some very sad news this weekend about a very dear frined who i have made over the last few years on message boards she is a very big part of my board and my heart goes out to both her and her son and daughter and thier families i am thinking about you all xxx
also when i went to kick boxing with Leon i had a very big shock!!! i thought it was just a contest that he had won in kick boxing but no!!! it was qualifing for the Welsh team and the gold medals he had were just that he is a double welsh champion and when we go to Ireland in october it will be the world championships we are so pround of him!!! its just a shame that its going to cost so much to go im starting to save now i need to lol im going to be cutting back on any stitching shopping and trying to do special offers in my shop to help fund raise to watch this spot!!!

Two new finishes
Sunday, 17 May 2009
Leon did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i found out that i will have to go with him to Ireland which got him a bit upset to think of Donny and Jake being left home he was wondering if Donny would be ok but i have some wonderful friends who have already offered to help out.
A quiet week
We also had an eventful week when we had workmen arrive to put up scafolding around our house and nobody seemed to know why but its been sorted out now they were changing our guttering and faciers and it looks so much better!!!
On one last note i would like to send birthday wishes to my dad who turned 60 yesterday i hope you had a great day dad!!!

What a weekend
I have felt sorry for them as there have been strong winds up to 50miles an hour here on friday and saturday but it has been mostly dry with just a few showers and the sun is shining beautifully here this morning and its lovely and warm so at least today it will be a lovely last day hopefully they were shetered even though they are almost right on the beach where they have been we will have to wait see as they are not allowed phones on this trip .
We have had a lovely time relaxing and watching dvds i did feel a bit guilty sitting watching my ghost whisperer dvd eating chocolate and drinking a glass of my home made wine just after 6pm last night while Donny was watching the footie because it seemed a bit early but it was lovely to have a bit of quiet to do it!!! we also made some peach schnapps and southern comfort which there is still plenty of but tasted really nice!!
Well im off to try and get organised because they are due home anytime after 4pm i hope you are all having a lovely weekend where ever you are and would like to wish all the american ladies a very happy mothers day xx

Watching tadpoles
This weekend was busy what with the bank holidays and the boys being home one extra day we had a busy night friday unning around from one activity to the next and saturtday while Jake was out with his friend i took Leon fishing for a while it was warm and nice to sit around the pond there was no fish caught just a million tadpoles which i have not seen for years!!!On sunday i tried to get some flowers planted in the garden while the boys were power boating with the sea cadets which was nnice to try and get something finally done out there just hard work!! but i know it will be worthwhile. When the boys returned they helped which was great and well deserved after i had a room full of thier friends here wednesday night to watch the champions league game!!
Yesterday i continued to paint in my kitchen and its really starting to come together now at long last wont be long now i dont think!!
We were back at the hospital on wednesday too and it wasnt good news the condition is back in both Donnys eyes as we had thought so now its bac to medication in both and we were back at the drs thursday morning and he is now also on oral medication too but so far so good he is coping as best he can but the sun really isnt helping and i really feel for him and i am trying as best i can to keep his dpirits up.
Well thats me caught up for a bit i guess lol oh the boys are camping this weekend with the cadets so we are really looking foward to a child free weekend weather permiting so keep your fingers crossed for us!!!!!

Monday blues
Then it was time to go back in the car to meet the boys in town after school to get Jakes glasses repaired again **sigh** i got home and had to finish the painting and then i made a chick pea curry from scratch for tea after that i put the bins out for collection in the morning then got my latest home made wine bottled.
Ive just had a bath and im going to taste my wine lol i need to relax all this work done around taking care of Donny i deserve it!!
The only bad thing is Donnys condition has now spread to both eyes again it hasnt been confirmed yet but we know we are back up the hospital on wednesday so if they give him treatment in both eyes he is going to need me more so i wont be able to get as much done but thats ok im here for him and im sure we are all strong enough to get through this together again.

Not good news
On a different note i am still working hard on trying to get my garden sorted out and trying to get the decorating done too with two exchanges needed out soon i really should think about stitching but now i cant even do that in the night as the lights need to be off and in the day im so busy at the moment it seems though it will never get done but i really need to try to find more hours in the day.
Jake got back ok from his yaughting trip tpp and had a fantastic time he loved it hasnt changed him at all though i thought it may help him grow up a bit wrong lol ah well i guess the time will come eventually!!! they are off camping again in 2 weeks with the cadets so we have a peaceful weekend with them both away. Right im off to get them out the door Liam will be here soon and at least then i wont have to watch anymore of Leons TNA lol.

Only another four days
We had this years presintation on friday night too and Leon has earned two new skills he has had his certificates and once he has his badges i will be uploading the photos to share with everyone. The two boys both took part in presintations Leon did comunications and Jake did first aid all very cool to sit and watch.
I have spent the last few days with Leon we bought him guitar hero on the xbox and it has ben a whole lot of fun and we have also been having a bash at the karaoke machine i bet our neighbours are sick of hearing us lol!!! but its been so much fun and i have spent so much time with Leon which has been great and i hope its helped him deal with his brother being away.
I have also had a night out with my friend and she has been back over with me for a few drinks and a nice chat which has also helped pass the time and with the champions league on tonight and mine and Donnys team still undecided whos going through it will be a fun night at ours tonight as my team beat him last week there will be fireworks who ever goes through tonight!!!!
Well Leons just got up im suprised he wasnt up earlier with the noise of the work going on here it was way to earlier for me to be getting up at 8.30am after not going to bed until after 2am oh well i guess i will sleep tonight!!!!!

A quick update

Tears and cleaning.
Last night we all went and watched Marley and me it was a fantasic movie funny but very sad it had both Leon and I in tears by the end it was just so moving now i know why i sick to horros at least they dont make tears roll down my face!!!! I t made me think of our dog who is going to be 12 very soon and that just made me cry even harder its well worth going to see this movie but please please remember your tissues!!!
Ive had a busy morning the boys left just after 8am they are off to help raise funds for the sea cadets the attend i havent seen them yet today as i stayed in bed until 9.30am and Donny got up with them to get them out of the door in time but they are meant to be finishing at 3pm so i will see them pretty soon. While they have been out i have hoovered and moped all through down stairs cleaned the leather sofas polished all through played with the dog who was most annoyed at the fact i was trying to clean and wanted to be played with lol washed and tried 3 lots of laundry which are now folded and waiting to be ironed and theres more to come and my dad and stepmum have been over i think this afternoon i decerve to sit and watch Wales play footie while i stitch what do you think??
Oh and by the way no the works still arent finished in my house so here we go into the next week which will be the third week they had better get a move on as the boys easter holidays is going up the week after next and they will be home for two weeks and i really dont want them to be still working here while they are off school.

A reminder
That its still early in spring boy has it gotten colder in the last few days it was so lovely and warm bright and sunny last week but at the moment its a reminder that its a little too soon to be putting away our warmer clothes. I dropped the boys off at school this morning as i had a follow up appointment with the nurse reguarding a lump i have had under my arm since christmas i finally plucked up the courage to go get it looked at when Leon hurt his finger i have beent o see the nurse 3 times now and she has tried different things to see if she can ruke things out well this morning i was back for blood tests and to see the dr he has told me for the time being i need to keep a close eye on any changes and i am to go back if anything does change its all so scary with all the family history and i still am taking care of my hubby so i dont need anything to go wrong with me i will hopefully find out on friday the results of my blood tests.
Wile i was sitting in the surgery for two hours i took along my ds and was banging away at my guitar heros rock tour i have become addicted to thei i have completed easy and meduim on the drums but boy do they mean hard when it comes to hard LOL i feel like chucking the thing across the room hehehe but i am so addicted i keep going back its causing havock with my stitching i have to say but i have to get some done today as it is stitch night on my board.And i do have that special project i am working on too which has now becomemore of a prioroty which to say the least is such a big shame.
They did come to my attic this morning thankfully when i was out but still no sign of the other workmen as yet today oh well i have to collect Leon from school at 4.45pm tonight as he has after school club Jake will be home as normal then there is cadets tonight so we get a peaceful evening at least. Well if i dont make a move there will be no stitching done.

Is it ever going to end?
I am getting pretty sick of not having our house to ourselves and then i got a call in tescos yesterday afternoon reminding me that we had people calling to do the insullation in our artic on tuesday which i had completly forgotten about so you know what that meant? yes i had to go climbing up in thier through all the cobwebs and dust to remove the last lot of things from the people who lived in the house before us. Now before i go on i must add the fact that 4 times already we have been up there and removed at least 30 black bags full of thing everything from baby clothes photos certificates etc well this time it was a carpet (yes you heard right) toys clothes more photos all of these things are loss mind not in bags at all toiletries clothes teddy bears cardboard boxes videos dcs books honestly why do that i mean if you dont want it throw it away not into your artic!!! we have been here 6years if she wanted it she would of been back for it so it all went down to the local recycling place honestly you should of seen me when i got there i was stinking dirty and covered in cobwebs i looked like something out of a horror movie!!! i was just waiting to see a big spider crawl down my face and if i had you would of heard me screaming from where ever you are in the world LOL
No more work has been done so far this week on our kitchen and bathroom but we have beem told it should all be complete by a week on friday fingers crossed maybe the middle of the week after i have taken some newer photos will try get them uploaded later with Leons birthday photos.
I am blessed

Happy birthday Leon!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow i can hardly believe my baby is 12 years old today where does all the time go??? I was just sitting here looking through the window at the beautiful day we have outside (even though our home still looks like a building site inside) it is just the same as the day he was born beautiful warm and sunny it really doesnt feel like it was oh so long ago and its hard to believe that soon he will be all grown up its quite frightening!!! He has had his birthday cards this morning before he went to school but will have his gifts later this afternoon its just a shame that we cant do much with all the mess we are in i guess we are lucky he is old enough to understand that really i am just hoping he likes what we have got him as he really wasnt much help on that front!!!! we shall see :-)
Well last night we acually had a toilet that flushed!!! may not seem like much to celebrate but believe you me it really was lol and we managed to start getting our food back into the kitchen we are hopeful for our washing machine and bath back today fingers crossed!!!! Well i hope you all have a lovely day where ever you are and what ever you may be doing.
