Well it has been a month of ups and downs.
All of us have a horrible sickness bug with Liv being the worse with it.It was awful we then all got colds.I am hoping now we all don't get anything for a while!.
The girls are great,Liv's speech and understanding is coming on leaps and bounds.Just in the last month she has been saying "taste" "nice" "dog" "sheez" meaning cheese and "sheets" for sweets lol.Olivia has also started with the tantrums and just general naughtyness.She even bit Madison the other day and left quite a substantial bruise,Madison was distraught,all she wanted to so was look out the window with Liv.I am hoping it is just a phase and not an early start of the terrible 2s.
Madison never fails to amaze me with things she comes out with each day.She is such a little girl and hates being called a toddler lol.I took her to gymnastics the other day with the childminder who pays for it as part of the EYFS grant.At first she was very shy and just sat down and wouldn't join in.A while later she had a go of some of the equipment with the teachers and loved it,they even do that little stance at the end of a move which is so cute to see!.Madison has been going swimming and has gained her second certificate which in order to get she had to do a task underwater?.
I started volunteering on the 8th and have now done 3 weeks.At first it was quite nerve racking but I am getting the hang of it now.Everyone is so nice and it confirmed to me that nursing is 100% what I want to do.I know it will be hard but I will get there!
I still am waiting to hear about my hours from work which I think is pretty ridiculous!.I can't see why it is taking so bloody long,i am shattered when I get home a Tuesday night at 8.30pm and have to have me and the kids up and out for 7.30am the following day!.
That is about it really unless I have forgotten something!.

Well.
I had my flexible working hours meeting last Wednesday,it all went fine and I should hear within 4 weeks apparently.Hopefully all has gone to plan this time and I will get my hours.
I also got a nice surprise last week in that I earned some commision and it will be in next months wage woo!.I plan to spend it on booking a spa day and night,a much needed one lol.I can't wait just to relax.
Yesterday was awful,i spent the majority of it being sick which I hate,thankfully this morning I am feeling much better.I don't want to feel like that again in a long time!.
Madison was ill on Friday night but was completely fine Saturday morning.
This Wednesday will be my last quiet Wednesday for a long time as I have my induction the week after!.I really need to get organised for getting out of the house by 7.30am with the girls!.It is going to be so tiring but well worth it.
Not alot else to report really,i will update after the induction.

Why oh why oh why.
Sigh.
Bit of an update.As you know I tried changing my working pattern so I can put the girls to bed.I asked my manager and he said they had been refused as I hadn't hit my target!.
Well I went and had a huge rant at HR who are not mutual and they said they would look into it.
A week later my manager has been sacked? (some are saying he has resigned,but I don't believe it.) and on Tuesday morning I recieved a brand new flexible working hours form to fill out!.
Apparently HR never recieved my first application so it looks like ex manager has just binned it and made his own decision.I am fuming but hopefully now we will get somewhere!.
I just hate that place!.
On another note it seems a year of pregnancies again,everyone is pregnant it feels like,work colleagues,friends,online friends!..I though will NOT be having a 2012 baby,if I ever get broody I remind myself of the sleepless nights which I am still experiencing lol.But good luck to them,i do miss pregnancy and birth but it just doesn't agree with me.
Update on the girls.
Madison needs a haircut! 3 years old and all she needs is just a trim of her fringe bless.She is growing up so fast,i can't believe she will be at school next September!.
We are fully toilet trained in the day now with very little accidents,maybe once every few days when she has had too much to drink in a short period of time.Madisons nappies are still very full in the morning so I think she won't be dry at night for a while yet even though she is requesting to wear knickers at night.
Olivia is doing great also,16 months now and still in 9-12 month clothes,she is such a dinky dot but makes up for it with her amazing personality.She knows her own mind that is for sure,her favourite word is "naw" for no lol this gets used alot during the day mostly during nappy changes!.I felt awful today Liv had her first bust lip at playgroup! She fell over and banged her cheek and lip,bless,She is okay now but it was such a shock!
I am off to read a book now I have wanted for ages-the girl with the dragon tattoo! Hehe.

I cannot wait.
I just cannot wait to start volunteering.I have recieved my CRB check back,all clear of course lol and yesterday I booked my induction which is on February 8th.They said it will take a few hours as there is a few things I need to learn,like infection control,then I will get to go to the ward and meet everyone,ready for starting the week after.God it has took a long time which is understandable because of all the checks but I thought it would of been just a tad quicker lol I started the process in October!.
I'm hoping it will give me the experience and confidence for a job in care and also the opportunity to see how a ward works and test the water as to whether nursing is for me.I have been thinking recently and it is 90% what I want to do,i just have that niggle where I may look at some other careers and see if any of them take my fancy,like social worker.
Update on the girls.
They are doing great,i can't believe Madison goes to school next year,crazy,i hope she enjoys it.Just recently she hasn't wanted to go to the childminders and hates me going to work.I put in a flexible working hours form at work and ky manager has told me it has been REFUSED all because I haven't hit target.I am so angry and will be putting in a grievance when I go back as I haven't even recieved confirmation from HR of this.It's not as if I was cutting my hours just starting earlier and finishing earlier so I can put the girls to bed and on the Wednesday I will be working till 8 as I'm volunteering.I just cannot see what the problem is!.It is really one rule for one and another for someone else.
Liv is doing great,she has 11 teeth including a few molars.And a little secret I will share is that she has been sleeping through,6-5!.I don't mind it as it's better than her up multiple times in the night lol.
We are still breastfeeding,i never thought we would still be going now,i think I may let her self wean although I'm not fully decided on this.It is such a comfort for her and she still feeds 7+ times a day lol.
Well that is about it for now.

conflicting information
I am sick of it,i want to go to college next year then onto university but I keep getting different advice on what entry requirements unis have.I have been told off a college that no university will accept level 2 English and Mathematics yet I contact the uni I want to go to and they said they do?!.I know they would favour GCSE candidates but I just don't know what to do anymore.I wish I had decided on my career earlier as it is so hard now and I am very close to giving up and not trying again until the kids are ALOT older.
Sigh.

New year.New Thoughts.New Life.
Well we are in 2012,the year it is all supposed to end or when the calendar for the mayans just ran out lol.
I'm hoping this year is better than 2011,it's certainly our last in this awful house as we are moving out to stay with my nan in April.We could of gone earlier but Paul doesn't get his holidays till then so we can both be off whilst the kids are at the childminders so we can get everything out.I can't wait,we have decided to save for a mortgage instead as it is just better in the long run.
I know it's only the start of the year but I can't believe the girls will be 2 and 4 by the end of it.Madison will be starting school next year and Liv will be 3 and I can go to college yaay.
So the plan for this year is to concentrate on driving lessons as we will be able to afford it now,volunteer for 9-12 months at the hospital,starting this month!.I can't wait to start,I'm hoping it will give me the determination to go for my dream and not put me off as some people have suggested.I'm also hoping the volunteering will lead to another job role as I cannot stand to be here for much longer especially now as they have refused my flexible working hours although some people get their shift changed so easily.
We had a quiet NYE,i fell asleep at 10.30 lol but someone has to get up with the girls and you can bet your dollar on it that it won't be Paul.The girls woke this morning at 5.30 or much earlier as Madison had turned the light on and was running around whilst Liv was happily bouncing away in her cot lol.I define 5.30 as night even the extra 30 minutes so its 6 would be better,i won't get chance for a nap either bleh.I will rectify the spelling errors later.

End of year picture post

updates.
Well my last post was December 1st and it's now the 26th!.
In between we have had Madisons 3rd birthday,horrible drainage problems and Christmas.
Madison had an amazing 3rd birthday and was well and truly spoilt.She loved her little party,being the centre of attention dressed as a princess complete with princess castle cake!.It was so funny when we started singing happy birthday she ran away and went all grumpy lol until she seen her cake and was beaming with smiles,so glad I got it on film.It was an improvement on last years as Madison actually cried when we sang and brought her cake in,she never has been one for singing.
Liv is doing brilliantly,coming on so much especially with her speech,new words this week were "teddy" and "seetie" for sweetie lol,she also understands commands like "go and lie down whilst I change your bum" or "go and get me the wipes/teddy please".
We have had some disgusting going ons with our drains,in the past 3 weeks it has been blocked twice resulting in raw sewage in the yard!.The system is backfalling which means the water is running back towards the house instead of away.I really have come to hate this house,this on top of the black mould and shoddy workmanship.I just cannot wait to move to my nans,we have decided to save for a mortgage instead of getting a council house as were sick of renting!.We are hopefully moving in March.
Christmas was great with Madison having a real understanding this year.She watched her message from father Christmas online then left him some milk and cookies out.For the reindeers,marshmellows and carrots were left out.6am came and Madison was straight downstairs to see if he had been lol,Liv gave the presents a good opening too.We had a 3 bird roast for dinner this year,it wad so nice and better than dry turkey.It was Livs first Christmas dinner and she thoroughly enjoyed it along with chocolate pudding and ice cream for afters.
I will have to upload some pictures when I come online,the girls look so alike!.

eek it's December
This time 3 years ago I was 1 day overdue.I had a consultant appointment including a specialist scan to see how my amniotic fluid levels were.I then had a membrane sweep and was already 1-2cms then Madison came into the world early hours of the 4th December.
We are having a little party for Madison tomorrow,she is so excited bless.I cannot believe how fast these 3 years have gone,they really don't stay babies for long.I have so much to do including all the decorating and a major tidy up lol.Paul is at a works doo so I'm left in charge-great!
I will update some photos of tomorrow when I get chance.
On another note I start volunteering in January for our local hospital being a ward assistant.I think this is the only way I'm going to get experience and proove that I really do want to change careers!.
I am so excited,i am doing 9-2 then off to my awful paid job from 4-8.It is going to be tiring but you don't get anywhere without a bit of hard work.

All about Madison.
Today we had Madisons checkup after her being ill in July for maybe metabolic acidosis,all her test results came back normal which is a relief but then again we still don't have an answer as to why she was so ill and that worries me alot.The Dr said he had never seen anything like it before and how such a young person could recover so quickly when their body was nearly all acid which brought on the fits etc.We don't have to go again which is great and they said to just bring her up if we are at all worried.They all weighed her and measured her length and circumference,all normal.
Thinking about that day makes me realise how lucky we are to have her and how things could have been so different,i think she definately has a few people in heaven looking out for her.She is the most amazing little girl and I couldn't ask for anything more,even when she is having a grumpy day.
I love you magoo.

Saving.
This year for Christmas I saved with park.I knew that I couldn't just put the money away as I would easily spend it!.With park it was easy and convenient to put the money away each month in exchange for vouchers.I recieved the vouchers at the beginning of October.I got Madisons and Olivia's Christmas presents and some of Madisons birthday presents! I've just put an order in for next year but included £50 of M & S vouchers for food hehe it is the season to be jolly afterall,I only really need to buy for Paul but I have no idea what to get he is hard to buy for.
Apparently the coca cola Christmas advert was on last night although I didn't see it which means we are definately in the festive season now!.Woo.

Tantrums Galore.
Well it's not even near bedtime yet and the girls have both been quite naughty today.Surprisingly Liv being the worst!.
We went to the park to get some leaves to do prints and pictures with.I decided to let Liv have a walk around,she LOVED IT!,loved IT so much in fact that I couldn't get her back into the pram.It must of took me around 10 minutes of screaming and arched backs before I eventually managed to get her back in!.She has tantrums at home which involve her throwing herself on the floor and screaming until we pick her up.Little madam!.But then Olivia will do something cute which just melts my heart,like now she has just stopped nursing to pull her tongue out!Awww!
Madison has been full of the grumps today too,she had a bad dream last night so didn't get a good sleep and when Madison doesn't get a good sleep,boy she gets cranky!.
A plus side of today is that I got some lovely autumnal shots of the girls and Madison did a fab pic which I will update in a later photo post!.

So excited.
I wrapped all Madison's birthday presents last night,she is going to be so excited.This year she has given me a list of what she wants,most importantly on her list is a "dolly and a pram" so I have a gotten her a hello kitty set.She is so grown up now!,it's amazing how much she has come on in a year,her speech is fab.
This year will just be a quiet party,nothing too big and a trip to a playcentre.
I think next year I am going to start my driving lessons,it is getting me down.I wish I had done it when I had the chance but it just wasn't high on my list of priorities.I will even have to do my theory test again boo.Why didn't I stick at it?? I am so annoyed with myself.My other thought is to do manual or automatic,Paul drives automatic and it's just like a go cart lol but everyone else is saying do manual.To be honest I don't see why it matters,my insurance will be high regardless! And it's unlikely I will be offered a company car in the line of work I want to go into.
Eek now the girls are arguing over a chair *sigh*

Tired.
Think i may book myself into the travel lodge for a decent nights sleep lol.
Last night Paul's alarm went off 3 hours early so he thought it was 6am but it was actually 3am-argh!.He went for a shower and woke the girls up,it then took Madison over an hour and half to get back to sleep but she did then sleep till 7 whereas Liv got up at 6 and is still full of beans.I wish i had her energy lol.
Work again today :( at least it is my last day in hehe.
I'm currently waiting for a delivery from approved foods which does food at discount prices either becase they have just past their date or they have them in bulk.Hopefully i will get the one hour delivery slot soon otherwise i'm going to miss it!
We bought quite a bit including 6 packets of pasta!.The girls can't get enough and it's such an easy tea,also 24 galaxy cake bars,i have a sweet tooth or maybe an addition? haha but hey it's Christmas soon,why not put on an extra few pounds.
Speaking of which i am taking Madison to see Father Christmas this month,it will be her first time,i hope she isn't scared.
Right i best be off seeing as i have an umbrella dangling over my head-cheers Madison more bad luck lol.

Ramblings.
It's that time again,work! It's so boring and repetitive,i feel as if I'm losing brain cells for every day I work here lol.
But on the bright side I'm only two days a week for the rest of the month,i have alot of holidays.
On Monday we are at the hospital with Madison for her checkup,the Dr cancelled last time as he was ill,hopefully we will have some test results back and see if there is an explanation as why she was so ill a few months back.It scares me to think about that day and if I'd left it any longer before ringing the ambulance what would have happened.It was so scary to have the ambulance put their blue lights on and rush her in,but then she bounced back so quick?.Apparently the the talk of the hospital among drs but none with a diagnosis except possible compensated metabolic acidosis.Will update when we have been on Monday.
Also seeing as its Christmas soon Santa could give me my present early,some extra cash,i feel as if all we do is chase bills month after month.We have just applied for a council house so hopefully we won't be waiting too long as although this house will always be a part of me as Liv was born here I still despise it.It has black mould,shodderly fitted and its far too small,there is clutter everywhere,it's getting us down now *sigh*.
I best go get the magoo girls ready :)

November already.
Where has this year gone? It really seems to have flown by.
I've been having a good think and have decided to put my career options on hold for a few years.It's just not feasable for me to go to college at the moment or even do any courses as I don't feel I have any spare time.I'm going to make the most of my girls whilst they are tiny and re evaluate things when Madison is 7 and Liv is 5,at least then I will have the spare time and commitment to my career.I'm trying not to feel down as part of me thinks I will just never reach my goal whilst another side is saying your still going and have plenty of time.
Wish I could of seen into the future,i will badgering at my girls to get good grades in school!

I've been having a good think and have decided to put my career options on hold for a few years.It's just not feasable for me to go to college at the moment or even do any courses as I don't feel I have any spare time.I'm going to make the most of my girls whilst they are tiny and re evaluate things when Madison is 7 and Liv is 5,at least then I will have the spare time and commitment to my career.I'm trying not to feel down as part of me thinks I will just never reach my goal whilst another side is saying your still going and have plenty of time.

Update.
I am now able to update using my phone yaay so I will be able to update more.
What has been going on?
Well we went away on our first family holiday last month to a gorgeous little cottage in Scarborough.It was amazing and we had such a fantastic time.I can't wait to go back next year it is so relaxing and the girls will be older so I think Olivia will enjoy it more too.Both girls loved watching the chickens run around and eating the freshly laid eggs.We stayed on a working fab which was fab for Madison as she learnt about tractors and animals.There were a few tantrums from Madison due to tiredness which we have found is the main reason for her being naughty but then she won't have a nap so what can you do! All in all though it was great,although I really want a hot tub now lol.
The girls.
Olivia has mastered walking now and is very confident,walking everywhere,rarely crawling.She is such a cheeky little character who loves her food! Her speech is coming on great too,her favourite word still being "yeah yeah" although now we also have "bye" "hiyaaa" "mummuma" and "daddda".We are still breastfeeding too although Paul proclaimed last night she is too old! I then reminded him of the WHO guidelines! And the fact she is such a boob monster lol.
Madison is great also,we started potty training around a month ago and Madison took to it really well with only a few accidents on day one but now things are getting tricky again as we are having problems with her bowels which we have been for over a year.The Dr has finally referred her and we have an appointment next week which is very quick and hopefully it will help.Madison is also turning 3 in just over a month and she is so excited,she is really into being a princess so were having a princess cake and doing what we did last year,blowing up loads of balloons then putting her presents in them.When she wakes up and comes down she will just see balloons then have a look and find her presents hehe.Then most likely we will have a little party and take her out for the day.
Me.
Well I am good,tired but good.Still working in the hell hole but we just cannot afford for me to get a lower paid job especially with Pauls wage being cut next year.We could do with some good luck!
I am hoping to start volunteering in the new year at the local hospital which will help give me the skills and experience needed to be able to change careers,although recently I have been wondering whether I should just give up on the nursing dream and focus on something I can get going on now,maybe managerial? Although not at this company lol.

My baby is one!
Olivia is now a whole one years old! I just can't believe it,where does the time go? It doesn't seem a whole year ago that she was a day old and we were having cuggles on the sofa.Now she is a proper little cheeky chops who never ceases to amaze me!.
On Saturday we had a party and a bbq for her,with a whopping 20+ guests.Liv was spoiled rotten and loved every minute.She especially loved her cake.
It's sometimes hard to believe how fast they grow up.
And we made it to the one year breastfeeding milestone! I have decided to carry on and see how things go as of the past 4 nights she has slept through which was the only reason i would consider giving up,but if she is sleeping then i don't see the need.
Ahh love my little family.

Where does time go?
This time last year it was my due date! I 100% knew Liv wouldn't be an early bird as her sister arrived 3 days late too.I can't believe how fast that has gone and in 5 days she will be ONE! She took her first steps two weeks away,two little wobbly ones but has since decided that is enough lol and has only took two more since haha,we have nicknamed her Nev after the little puppet on CbbC as all she says at the moment is "yeah".Olivia has also started giving kisses too which is just too cute,eeek she won't be a baby for much longer :(.
We are having a party which has turned out to be quite a big celebration but hey your only one once.We have everything ready now and just need to get the final touches,i can't wait,i think i'm more excited than Madison who has decided she wants to dress up as a princess-bless.
Then on the 10th September we are going away for a week in a lovely private cottage,just what we needed after this very up and down year.I can't wait to sink in the hot tub after a day out whilst the kids are in bed and just relax!

A Long Hard Day.
I sometimes wonder if i am cut out to be a mum on days like this when all Madison has wanted is daddy and i am "disgusting" or "awful" and Liv is winging the place down unless she is in my arms as her 5th/6th teeth are about to cut.Where is that hole i can just jump straight into?
Hoping tomorrow is better as i have had enough today!
**big sigh**
