Just back from London and it was a fun weekend but my goodness I am so tired. I will do a full blog about it soon, I am just typing this now to try and stay awake until at last 9 or I will be up at silly o'clock and never get back to sleeping normal hours.
I also need to blog about Stephen Fry and a double decker!
Life is good at the moment but I need more sleep!

18 months on
Today my teeny weeny baby is 18 months old. It has been a fabulous 18 months, hard at times, but absolutely amazing.
Olivia is such a happy young lady and although I am sad to be working and missing her so much whilst in work it is lovely to hear how popular and happy she is at nursery, She has lots of friends and the girls at the nursery laugh about getting her autograph because she is going to be a star when she is older. At times the stories they tell me make me want to cry at what I miss but it making her come on leaps and bounds, maybe I should sneak a camera into nursery so i can watch her!
I am hoping beyond hope that someone I love wins the lottery tomorrow and buys me a house so I can go part time and have more time with her. Work / life balance sucks for so many people these days that I need little dreams to keep me going.
Well here is a little photo share.
This is my girlie at 3 hours old.
Here she is at the weekend when we went to MILs to celebrate her birthday and mine along with her cousins Cameron and Bethany. I think they are going to be a right bunch when they're older.

9/11 - ten years on.
I have avoided the news coverage today as just glimpses of footage of what happened ten years ago has had me crying this week. It is bizarre that 10 years has passed since that horrible day in New York.
It is going to be one of those days that everyone who is old enough will remember where they were when they heard the news.
I started working for my current company on 11th September 2000, so in 2001 I was talking to Noel in work about how the last year of work had been, part way through our conversation one of the partners, Crawford, came running through the office shouting something incoherent in his wake, I remember we all chuckled at Crawf having one of his funny days as he was known for being daft and having a joke and no one really understand what he was talking about so we kept working.
A minute later he was back in the office with an ancient radio and tuned it into a station and we all stood around a filing cabinet in silence just listening.
I remember just feeling sick as Crawford who is so jolly was white as his son worked at WTC and one of our friends was visiting his girlfriend in philly and they were due to go there for a visit and we weren't sure what day.
We were lucky as they were all fine but there were just under 3000 deaths from teh four flights, the WTC and the pentagon. It was an extremely shocking and upsetting time and all those people that lost their lives will never be forgotten.

Things to do before I’m 30
Happy Birthday to meeeeee, today I am 29 years young! I have been absolutely spoilt rotten today and I am feeling very happy to have such fab people around me. Considering I was ignoring this birthday as it is a nothing birthday I have done amazingly well with presents!
As there is a mere 366 days (leap year remember) until I am 30 I making myself a little list of things to do.
It sounded fun when I thought of doing it but the mad crazy fun things that would be awesome to do, such as jumping out of a plane, are beyond my income means at present so I am going for a list that is a bit more doable (possibly read boring!) Editing myself whilst typing I have to say the first two on the list aren’t boring at all just somewhat out of my control.
So at the grand old age of 29 here is my list so far. I have a list of 10 things but if I think of something interesting and doable I may edit any time over the next year.
1. Get pregnant
So this one is obvious really!
2. Have a baby
If all goes well with #1 above
3. watch 50% of the top 250 films on IMDB
I copied the list as of today and I am going to post these above shortly so I can tick them off as I go.
4. Have a fish pedicure
I have wanted one since I saw them on This Morning last year so thought it would be a nice one that would be easy enough to do.
5. Try 30 different chocolate bars
This one is just an excuse to stuff my face! I always seem to ate the same few chocolate bars so this means I will have to try some new things
6. Try not to think about Polar Bears for an entire day
I was doing a search on the internet for inspiration and this was on someone else’s list and it made me laugh so it went on.
7. Have at least 5 dates with the hubby
I love going on dates and making time for just us is brilliant and if 1 and 2 are sorted then there will be less time for our dates.
8. Read 26 new books
I love love love my Kindle so this one will be easy, I don’t want any comments on my reading habits as I love chick lit and Mills & Boon, feel good quick reads, perfect and don’t give a feck what people think :) This one has also been made easier by teh fact that I go some amazon gift cards for my birthday so I get to download away soon :)
9. Learn to cook something tasty
I’m not a great cook so one day I am going to be brave and chose something and perfect it over the year.
10. Get at least 2 rooms in the house completed.
We have been in this house for years and things aren’t really done. The kitchen and our bedroom just need quick fixes, snag list type things.
So there is my list to keep me occupied for the next 12 months.
Now as I am skiving Zumba I think I might go and eat some cake from the girls in work, a girl is only 29 two or three times so it is deserved.

Bye Bye 28
So tonight I go to bed as a 28 year old and when I wake up I shall be 29, one step closer to 30. I think I need to get looking at anti wrinkle cream, even though i still have skin like a teenager *weep*
Nothing much planned for birthday this year, can't be bothered with it, god I am getting old haha.
MIL is 60 on Saturday so we'll be going there on Sunday for a nice joint celebration but poor Sue will be cooking for everyone so not much a relaxing day for her. I am hoping that the weather is night so we can take refuge in the garden, the house is going to be a busy one and not sure I can deal with people at the moment.
Ah well, time to watch the last part of red or Black and then head to bed and dream of chocolate biscuits and jam butties mmmm, odd dreams but enjoyable non the less :)

Mr Bloom
I really can not get the song from Mr Bloom's nursery out of my head! It is annoying me now. Also the fact that I have a weird thing for Mr Bloom. Well without his allotment gear he looks like this so mabe it isn;t too bad... maybe.
Half of the office have thought I was insane singing "meet the veggies" today, one girl wanted to kill me as she has cbeebies aged children so had the song in her head and Vicki though I was being rude singing a song about meat and veg, but then she would!
Other than that going to keep this post a short one so I can run off and find a new song to get stuck in my head.
