Hook...and go

I've really missed blog over the last week, I've got loads to read and here's a wee one from me.

My Granny Blanket is coming along, so so many more square to do but this is how it looks so far

4wks work....

When I look at them above I keep thinking, crickey it's going to take a LONG time but it'll be worth it and actually that feels quite a nice feeling, my first simple project that I now feel comfortable doing may be finished late autumn, lovely.

one of my favorite squares

my little stack

I've been thinking for a while now about leaving Waitrose, my little cleaning jobs are going well and I actually enjoy doing it (never ever thought I'd say that), so I approached my line manager and explained how I felt and she suggested moving department and alter my hours, so that's what I've done, as of the end of Aug I'll only be working one evening and my other hours will be in the day, I feel quite excited about this new move so fingers crossed it'll all work out.

I felt I needed to stay really as although I wasn't earning huge amounts from Waitrose there are the pros of staff discounts etc plus I am desperately saving for a new living room.  We've already decorated and our new sofa's arrive in Sept, I've chosen some gorgeous solid oak furniture but I need to save my pennies but hope to be able to have it all done before the end of October, one major pain a few weeks ago put a spanner in the works.  Darr took the radiator off the wall so we could decorate and when he put it back on he didn't turn the top screw tight enough and flooded the carpet with rusty water....GREAT!! and it's not the first time he's done this but oh well....I've never ever claimed on my house insurance but decided to give them a call and to cut a long story short I also now have a new carpet arriving.

Had a great day out today with the children and my neighbour and her little girl, we did a bit of shopping, I know...mad with 3 children but they were fairly well behaved and then we went to a new park which they absolutely loved, however little lad ended up having a sand fight with another boy, lots of tears and bla bla bla, what is it with boys, little lady seems like a saint compared to her brother these days, he's got an answer for everything, but but but, no not doing that, your not my friend anymore ARGHHHHHH, honestly once he is in bed I just find I collapse on the sofa, I'm hoping it's because he really really needs to start school and I'm sure it's just another one of the phases, do those phases ever pass? if he's anything like his dad..NO!!!

I'm off to catch up on other blogs now, be back soon luv Bee x x
