Well yesterday at 12.30 i suddenly thought i was bored and suggest we go out for a drive.and thought i know ive never been to blackpool so off we went Just over 200 miles later we turned up and WOW what a great place.Ill be going back soon to make day of it,far to much to see in 5-6 hours. Went on the trams,the pleasure beach (queues for the rides are long tho) the food was good not like some typical beach resorts.Weather was dry most of the time unlike the rain all the way up there and really dense thick fog on the way home. Id highly recommend it to anyone but make a day of it ,if you like walking great theres miles of seafront,if not jump on a tram 1.40 for adults each way or maybe jump on a horse drawn carrage.litle one can go on a donkey.in the evening drive thru the lights,there were kids hanging out of windows,sunroofs ect all over the place. I brought some flashy bunny ears to wear and i had them 5 mins when we got on the tram to go back to the car.I ended up sitting oppisite a little girl sat on her mums lap who had taken a fancy to these ears and her little hand started to open and close saying like hand it over.so that i did,I just cant help it,the grin on her face was fantastic she was 1 year old she just held them grinning from ear to ear so that made her day. (wish my 4 were that young again) drive home took a little longer as the fog was really bad,apart from that my random day was over at 2am this morning when we got home,and poor gary had work at 8am.opps.ahh well great day loz

Been a little stressfull recently to be honest.My 13 year old seems to have turned into the monster from hell.I open my mouth he shouts at me he is also acting up in school thinks its a laugh to throw pens at other people from the back of the room that sort of thing or knock pencilcases off desks,you know just making a pest of himself genrally. This is then pulling off onto the other 3 and they are trying there luck now.I knew id face this were i had the 4 of them within 5 years as babys it was hard work then from 6 onwards it was a void of having normal children now as they are reaching older years its becoming a challange again. Stuart is 13 and has the attitude for some reason is he must be at the top or the gang and be hand and manly. Charlie is 12 in feb and seems to just toodle around and argue when he feels he isnt "treated right" he thinks he has the rights of a adult at the moment. Harry is 10 in jan and altho he is the relaxed out of all them he is pushing it a bit when i say no e starts to question me 3 times over on why Sky-Anne well she is 8 in jan and reminds me every bit of me and a little bit more.Out of all of them she worries me the most.Teen girl arguements i can see being a challange,she is going thru the stage of "i love all boys".so ive had to have some mummy talks to her. Ive Also just started my new mission.Im not sure if any of you remember but last year i had been quite ill from pneumonia the broncittis a few times and so i gave up smoking at 6pm feb 5th this year.I didnt use patches just a few bits of gum and it was a few bits ewwww that stuff is nasty.and i didnt look back not once :lol: :o Now it dieting where i have a back problem and so dont walk often i found myself piling on the pounds and eating rubbish till ive turned into a right old fatty. so calorie contol it is and dragged the hubby onto it as well.at the end of the month ill be getting a treadmill to walk on when i feel ok.at least if my back plays up ill be at home and not stuck to someone fence post not being able to move :lol: I have the feeling i did when i decided cigs were no more and the time is right for me to lose wieght now. so hey ho off we go!!!! Loz

Good luck with your move.and enjoy the holiday

Well the summer hols are coming to a end and ill be thankful to get my tribe back into school to be honest.they have ben bored this summer as i slipped a disc in my back again.last time was feb 2000 i was warned it would go again but you never expect it as such and its so really painfull. getting the uniform sorted has been a pain 2 children now in secondary school and 2 in primary and they need so different things. on a good note tho i get my contact lenses on the 6th sept so i can finally learn to drive yippeeeeee im 30 tomorrow and it finally dawned on me today on how time slips by un noticed.doesnt seem like yesterday when i was in my teens.my eldest also has a big milestone birthday of 13 of sept 2nd.and already has the atitude to go along with a 13 year old lad hehehe 1 down 3 to go ill try to keep it updated a bit more all the best loz
