WKC Welsh championship

Today was the welsh kickboxing championships which was a really busy day for me I was at the hall before 9am and wasnt getting home untill 9.30pm. I didnt realise how much work goes into organising a championships we were there most of yesterday afternoon getting the place ready for today and then i spent the whole day either time keeping scoring the points fights and then being Leons coach which i was so please to have him win all three that i coached him with :-) the only one he lost i wasnt in his corner lol

here he is winning silver in the points catagory.And here he is winning gold in the light continuos catagory. The photos are thanks to Jake who took all the photos and video footage on the day and did a fantastic job. Now we know Leon has got into the welsh team we have to start fund rasing for him to get him to Portugal for the world championships in october :-)

sponsored walk

Today we had a sponsored walk from Llanelli beach to Burry Port harbour to raise funds for the junior welsh kick boxing team. We had a beautiful warm day it was more like summer than spring the sun came out to shine on us as we walked well Leon cycled lol but it was great fun there was around 60 of us on the walk and even Jake and his friends came with us.

I was a little worried that i wouldnt be able to make it the whole distannce with my ankle but i did and was just so glad i could :-). All my photos are on facebook if you want to go take a look.

I havent been around much lately ive got Leon home he was attacked by a group of children for no reason and its been nothing but hospital appointments since it seems like an extra long half term holidays for him buut it mans we either have to take him everywhere or leave him home which at the momment i dont like doing either his face was a mess and the school have been no help just feels like we are going around in circles. The school tell us report it to the police the police say its a school matter even though things are happening both inside of school and out. The world is changing too fast for my liking and things where never this bad when i was a child i just dont know what to to next i really dont.

Happy birthday Leon!!!!

I can hardly believe that my baby is 13 today where does the time go.... it doesnt seem that long ago i was cradling you in my arms and bringing you home to meet your little brother and now i have two teenages in the house well it seems like 5 or 6 when all your and Jakes friends are over most days lol. I hope the years slow down a bit so i get to keep you young that little bit longer happy birthday babe we love you xxxxx

Happy birthday to me!!!!

I cant believe how quickly this year is flying by. I just wanted to come on and say a big thankyou to everyone who has made my birthday so special this year especially as it hasnt been the best start with the children being ill my hubby having another fright with his vision and my accident oh yeah and did i mention all the snow!!!!!! LOL

I had a nice day we did have a two hour class of kickboxing mind you but it gave me the chance to sit and chat with my friends so that wasnt so bad. I was spoilt this year i have to say Jake bought me a lovely necklace and Leon bought me some chocolates and candles. Donny got me sing star take that and i love it so much remembering all the old songs that really made me smile :-) i will be getting a new laptop too and thats something i really do need!!! My friends from kcikboxing Rachel and Leighton got me some chocolates and vodka lol they know what i like!!!! My friend Debbie baked me a cake and made me a lovely card i also got cards from Amy and Stella at the club. I recieved a lovely parcel from my dear friend Nicky with some new halloween charts she knows what i like :-) some krenick and beads and a lovely shade of nail vanish. My dad also gave me some money which i plan to use on singstore which will make me happy :-)

So in all i had a fantastic day :-) especially when my hubby made me a wonderful meal that night too i was just sad that the boys werent feeling very well it was a shame nevermind i will get to have some of my cake tomorrow!!!!!

Another kickboxing contest

It seems these days all i ever seem to write about is kickboxing or stitching looks like thats all thats ever going on here i guess and more often than not it is just kickboxing!!!! My youngest son is really enjoying it but i think that my hubby is enjoying it even more lol. I was enjoying it before my accident but as i have now sat out for almost 5 weeks my intrest seems to be growing less and less enthusiastic i have to say i guess sitting watching and just being able to chat seems like the easier option it just seems to look like hard work now...i guess this is my lazy side raising its head again. I am getting around better and i am at long last able to just about manage to drive and i can walk with out my crutches but i am still struggling with steps espically coming down them and slopes. I have also stopped wearing my bandage and my foot is quite close to looking like it should. But the thought of going back next month im just not sure if or when i will be ready..

Here is how well Leon did he had a second and a third place even though he had an asthma attack during his second contest he did amazing well especially as it was the first attack he has ever suffered he was very brave and we are very proud of him. Even if the whole contest was a complete shambles. We arrived in Ely in Cardiff at 9am as the contest was supposed to start at 10am but it didnt get started untill almsot 1pm the children had lost all thier spark and were so fed up i realy am supprised that they all did so fantasticly well. Well done everyone xx

Happy Valentines day

As a rule my hubby and i dont do valentines day never really have we have decided that we dont need a comercial holiday where it forces people to buy gifts and cards to say i love you. If you truly love someone you should show them these everyday just by the things you do and say. But i know that there are a lot of people who do and to those of you i want to wish you a happy day :-). W e had a busy day with two hours of kick boxing as usual on a sunday which i walked to today for the first time without use of my crutches and i am so so pleased i managed it!!!!! My ankle is still quite swollen and brusied and sore to the touch after my accident but i am managing to get around slowly with stairs still being my biggest difficaultly and the moment and still not being able to bend my ankle very much means i am still not able to drive my car which is very annoying i must say i am beging to wonder if after not being started or moved for three weeks now it will even work when i am ready to try drive it. I did have a lovely evening though i had some wine and some chocolate and sat down and watched twilight it was perfect i hope you all enjoyed too xx

It was out friends at kickboxing anniversary today to i made them a card. This is my first ever attempt at a 3d card and was unsure about having a go to begin with but after i was very glad that i did and i am very pleased with the finish. I think i will be trying more of these out in the near future.

Snow sal finished!!!

Im so pleased with myself here is my second finish for 2010 which keeps me so far so good up with my own challenges!!! I do have to admit that i do need to turn this into an orniment but at least its done 2 down only 22 to go for the rest of the year!!!!!

My kick boxing accident

This is what happened to me after i had an accident in kickboxing on sunday i had only been doing class for 10 mins but i still had some of my cold i shopuld of known better i wasnt 100% i should of sat out but i didnt want to i guess i paying for it now. This was in the hspital about an hour and a half later and this is on tuesday

Second day of snow sal

here is my second day of my snow sal being laid up with this ankle i guess theres not much else left for me to do really!!!

First fiish of 2010

Here she is my halloween fairy that seems to have taken sooooooo long to acually get completed lol!!! My stitching time has seemed so far and few between grasped moments that i can hardly believe i am able to show the completed project at long last!! I am however a little disapointed that i have been unable to show you how sparkly and well beaded she is the photo just doest seem to do her much justice at all but at least you get to see her finally. Thankyou Louise for sending me the mchart so so much and thankyou Tonya for the gv from which i was able to get all the beads :-)

Happy birthday wishes

to my wonderful husband Donnyi hope you have a fantastic day i love you loads xxxxxx

Happy new year!!!

I just wanted to wish you all a very happy healthy and love filled 2010!!!!!!!

2009 hasnt been a bad year for me i traveled with my youngest son to a world championships in a sport he had only been doing 6 months when he became a double welsh champion and then won a world bronze medal after just a year he has also done 4 belts and will be going for his fifth in february he has also won several other trophoes from competitions i wish him all the luck with all future contests we are all VERY proud of him well done Leon xx

Jake has done very well with his exams and got to choose all his subjects for his gcses being top band in school and working hard to keep himself there is something we are also all VERY proud of and he is still trying to learn to play guitar im sure he will get there one day lol!!!

At the end of 2009 Donnys eyes seem to be improving he can see a lot more close up out of one eye but still just a tiny glipse of colour out of the other at the moment so it seems a much brighter path he is heading along so thats all good too.

I have had a good year i enjoyed treaveling with Leon and the team and even walked out as part of the team at the world championships that was something else lol!!! I have achived my first kickboxing belt even thought it was something i never thought i would do and i am now attending classes three times a week hopefully during 2010 it will help me shape up more ..hopefully ..mind you so would laying off the crisps and wine but i cant do that lol!!! i havent done as much as i would of liked to on the craft side but with the house getting a make over and Donny and the boys to take care of i guess i just havent had the time gonna try to do more though new year new start..........

have fun tonight everyone but please stay safe xxxx

Merry christmas

I would just like to wish you all a very merry happy and safe christmas.I hope you all enjoy time with your loved ones and smile all day long. Dont forget to make the most of it as your children grow so fast and you get get these things back. Have a wonderful day xxx

Its almost time for santa

I can hardly believe it is christmas eve already where has this year gone wow it just seems to go quicker and quicker with each year it realy does. We are almost all ready here all the shopping is done and now its just time to spend time with my boys and relax. I would like to say a big thankyou to all those who took the time and effort in sebnding me a christmas card i seem to always be sending out some sort of card to someone lol but the prices are getting silly now with the post office so this will be the last year i make an effort to send to someone who doesnt have the time to send one to me it just doesnt seem like making the effort of making the card to some people who dont even say thankyou sometimes is worth the effort a bit harsh maybe....yes i know its the time for giving but thaankyou aways goes a long way hey.

Thankyou Rose for sending me these lovely gifts i really wasnt expecting them so it makes it so special that you thought of me this way i really do hope you and John have a wonderful holidays together.
And thankyou Nicky for the wonderful gifts that you sent me they are under my tree untill tomorrow morning and i cant hardly wait to see what i have hun xxx

This years christmas cards

Here are the christmas cards i made for my sons for christmas the one on the left os for Leon as he is always the joker of the two boys even though both cards are funny this one made me laugh the most when i first found the design and i knew i HAD to make them into cards for my boys. The one on the right is for Jake as this is the type of thing he would do when taking a photo lol xx.It had been a very long while since i picked up a needle and i did really enjoy stitching these cards i really need to try make more time to do more as i have really missed it so much.

When i first seen this design in cross stitcher i had to stitch it into a card for my dh for xmas but i did not count on having to do it twice so bewarned now!!!!!!! if you are stitching it for anyone who is an avid liverpool fc supporter just dont do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
apartantly its an everton mont and its the last thing they want lol so i had to re do it so it acually looked like a humbug lol x

I did it!!!

Here i am being awarded my red belt. I was so nervous but at the same time happy i managed to acually do something by myself for myself :-)

Another kickboxing competition

This sunday our club traveled upto Cardiff for a kickboxing competition. Donny travelled up with Leon and the coach and his daughter and her boyfriend and i satyed home with Jake and went to help Rachel out with the kickboxing club. Leon competed in two events the first was point scoring . This isnt Leons strongest one and he won silver. Unfortunitly after traveling all they way up the three boys pictures who are all in our club had to all fight each other, But they all did very well.
The second fight that Leon was in is the light contitnuous which is his stronger one. Here he won a gold and we are very very proud of him.Hmmmm think im gonna have to buy a bigger cupbiard though as together with his and Jakes rugby awards im gonna start running out of space lol!!!!
