How bad am I

oOOPS...... Too busy reading other peoples blog to make the time and post on my own.

Since I last posted we had the snow from hell which started on the 30th November and didn't disappear until the 28th December! Christmas came and went, although this year we had a lovely time with family gatherings and good social nights out. Got some lovely pressies, a silver charm bracelet, yankee candles (of course) Jo Malone candle (yummy) and a gorgous leather handbag. Oh yeah and Rihanna tickets and CD.

January was all about trying to get over the flu, get back into a routine again after the long Christmas break, and I bought a car!!

Feb was my birthday and spent the day in IKEA with my friend Catriona, and Bernadette, then went to Liffey Valley to collect the car. More presents again, I was spoiled. Beautiful cake stand, Yankee candle, Charm for my bracelet, and an antique silver spoon.

Now I'm starting back running tomorrow, hopefully and trying to live by my word for 2011 FOCUS. Instead of starting 10 different things at once and never finishing any of them, I'm trying to FOCUS on 1 thing at a time. We'll see...........

Pink ATG

Got this yesterday from a UK Website. Took me and my darling husband nearly an hour to even open it up to insert the refill, whats that all aboubt!! Eventually got it up and running thanks to YOUTUBE videos, the instructions that came with it are really bad. Anyway hopefully it will work, will let you know. For anyone else struggling here's the video







Today was the first day in ages that I actually got to make something crafty. I painted an old canvas I had, using acrylic paints, gesso, glitter and Tatterd Angels mist. Really enjoyed that part. Then added some flowers, birdcage from ebay, crystals, and an affirmation CREATE. I would love to be able to make something crafty everyday but alas real everyday life always gets in the way.

Will post a picture tomorrow.

Loving the latest "I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of here" me and Alanna are glued to it every night. My faves are Stacy, Dom and Sean. Cant understand why Gillian is there at all, and Kayla seems a waste of space!

Trip to Dublin

So guess were I was today?

Me and Alanna (the daughter) and Bernadette (the Aunt) went to FOREVER 21 in Dublin today. Man it was wedged, especially the ground floor, but for some reason as you went up it got a little quieter! 3 floors of fashion, well priced too. Alanna got a really cool navy jacket for €28, a few sweatshirts and leggings. Me I got nothing there, But really I was more interested in making sure Alanna was happy and got something she liked. I only like shopping:

A. when I am on my own
B. No crowds
C. Weekdays only.

None of these happened today!!

We also checked out the biggest NEW LOOK in the world. Did't look that big!!  Got 2 nice cardigans for me there so not too bad.

Had a nice lunch in the Bagel Factory, then back to my aunt's for a lovely cup of tea, before scooting back down the nmotorway and getting home to watch the XFACTOR.

A nice day all around.
