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!

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.
Simone.
