What a nice suprise

Today we had guests down for the day from Cardiff. The people who run W.O.M.A.A Wales. This is one of the places where Leon used to go to some of the kickboxing contests when his intrest was much more into it. Leon came away with several gold,silver and bronze medals when he hs fought here. Anyway they came doen to present Donny with an award for ll the work they had seen that he used to do for the club where Leon was training. It was a lovely suprise and it made Donny feel so proud of all the work he has put it. He deserves it I think he did so much for the club its nice to have a thankyou like this even if it did come from another organisation.

I must be mad!!!!

Do you know what i decided to do in my wisdom today................I started Jakes bedroom!!!! I havent even finished Leons yet lol. Well i cant have him leaving left out now can I........:-) Jakes only got a small room and it wont take long I have no paper to strip this time either so its all good.

Heres what his room looks like at the momment. He is a typical teenager too but not quite as untidy as his little brother lol.

Ive got quite a busy weekend this weekend with two sets of visitors calling today and more people coming tomorrow so im not quite sure how much im going to have time to do very much this weekend xxx

Days 3 and 4

Well the bedroom is coming along slowly and now i get to show you one of the colours Leon has picked. This colour is for the wood in his room. And now Finally all the white is done too so it is ready for the colour next week :-))))

Yes he has picked bright yellow hhhmmmm thats wht you get when you let kids decide i guess lol.

I managed to find some time

To start a new small piece of cross stitch this morning before the decorating starte. The boys where at school and Donny was sleeping. He doesnt seem to be doing much of that at the momment so i thought i would leave him there and do a bit while i was watching casualty. Its a old dragon dreams freebie and im completely changing the colours too. Here is a little look at what ive done so far. Its done on a peace of my hand dyed fabric as ive still got quite a bit to use up.

I have also managed to get little more done on my fire dragon the last few weeks to. I must admit its not much but i am trying to get a few stitches in how and when i can so i will get there eventually :-)

Leons room day 2

Well i stripped all the wall paper off one half on Leons room yesterday on the side where is bedroom is going to be. He is sleeping at the front end of the house at the momment but he is being moved to the back end. I must say it wasnt too hard a job the wall paper seemed to come away from the walls quite easily which was good for me :-)

So i got Donny to fill the wholes for me and then left them to dry.Then today i had i had to start painting them white i think this is going to tke a good few coats as the walls are so green so then i cant paint the colours Leon has chosen.

I have to say that it doesnt seem like that bad work s long s i can blast out some tunes while i am getting it done :-) Its deff going to need more than one coat of white the walls are just so dark its unbelievable. But im sure i will get there

Here we go then.....

Ive started Leons room and ive decided im going to be taking photos of the work im doing as im going along to i hve something to look back on a little sad i must admit but it will give me something to do now and something to look back on whta i have achived with a little help for some of it of course :-) So heres what it looked like when i started it . You should be warned it is a teenage boys room and they dont seem to understand what keep your room tidy is one little bit mind!!!!!!!!! Loens room is really big we are planning on splitting it into two so they can also have a room where they can go to watch tv and dvds and play computer games too :-)

I will keep updating my blog on how its all going hopefully i wont bore you all too much lol xxx

Well after having a pretty rubbish end to this year becasue of certain things so i have decided 2011 is all about me!!!!

Im giving up kickboxing i dont want to be in a place where people arent very friendly i did all i could to help out at everything to have it all thrown back in my face so no more!!!! Im working on being a better mum and wife this year and its cos its what i want.

I am going to be working out at home as much as i can using the kinect i love it!!! far much better than the wii board you cannot cheat at all :-)

I am going to hget back to my stitching its been far too neglected and i miss it so so much.

I will be spending more time on my runboard and less time playing fish world on facebook and im going to try keep my blog updated so im not doing a few months at the time playing catch up.

I want to get some more of my house decorated this year and i am going to find time to sort out my garden more this year too.

Im going to keep up my baking too ive loved doing it over christmas and showing it off.

If i can think of more i will be back but i think this is a pretty good start
