Houseguest arrives

-
With 2 spare bedrooms fitted for sleeping we have had our fair share of houseguests so far - usually Wolves players staying over for away trips etc (and my family & Markus from Germany plus DH's friend Alan who always have a free space - but not all at once!! :) ).

So - I received a phone call from DH while at work asking if I'd be ok with his old friend Nick, who is currently doing the "BIG WALK - John O'Groats to Lands End" , could stay over - he didn't find any accommodation in Falkirk.

I admire people who do big walks like Nick and also doing the West Highland Way or the Appalachian Trail in North America. And DH already said that Nick would be staying over for one night anyway, so I agreed - no problem with that. And I am off on Monday anyway so I can get the spare bedroom ready for my mum.

Nick is a funny guy and I am really impressed with his determination to do that walk ... I'd fancy the West Highland Way myself but am not sure if I'd actually be able to DO it... :) He is doing this walk to raise money for the Brain Research Trust and in memory of his brother who died last year of a brain tumor.

I am sure I will visit Nick's travel-blog during his walk to keep up with him.

Christmas Journal Entry #2

Phew!!! Took me longer than I thought!!! :) Maybe I should leave the crafty bits out ... I am a slow scrapper after all (found that out at the Cyber Crop!!). But have to say I LOVE that LO. Used acetate with stazon white opaque (over photo), snowflake eyelets, snowflake button and snowflake vellum sticker. The prompt today suggested we cut a paper snowflake ... well, I had three attempts and am absolutely rubbish at it!! So I decided I try my luck with a quilled snowflake ... first time ever for me to do a snowflake and you can see the wonky result! LOL.

 Here is my Final Round up for the Photo Scavenger Hunt 2013: 1. Open air market (Market Stall outside Kew Station, London) 2. Theater for performing arts (not a movie theater) ( Edinburgh Festival Theatre ) 3. City Hall, Capitol or other similar civic building (Dumfries Council Buildings) 4. Airplane (Our Virgin Flight plane to London) 5. A sunset (opted for another picture than posted before, as this sunset is more stunning! It’s taken at Knockbrex House, Dumfries & Galloway, with view of the Bay) 6. Someone or something taking a nap (there’s too much cuteness about, and still so many photos of the Hobbits falling asleep ) 7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny (Seeing it was Maple Pecan Ice cream, the note  “May contain other nuts” makes you really wonder…) 8. A tower (Watch tower at St. Cuthbert’s graveyard, Edinburgh, defending against grave robbery) 9. A photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn'...

Day 15 ...

Mmmmh... headaches, a little pulling pain, and now some dark brown spotting (but really just a little, goes away after dabbing - SORRY, TMI!) ... wonder if my body decided to take its time and does implantation bleed later than normal???? I don't think that both embies are making it ... but I have a little hope that maybe my little 1-grader (LOL) hangs on!!! Could do with the long wait though .... :( Tomorrow we're off to Newcastle for the day ... bit walking about, going to the MetroCentre for Big Luke's (first time), Hotel Chocolat (first time in Newcastle) and Hobbycrafts - and Toys R Us for Doug... :D Mood goes up and down ... considering what we woman (and partners/hubbies) are going through with IVF we should get a definite YES or NO!!! Not such a stupid limbo stuff!!! :( Little one, hang on ... maybe your great granddad (RIP) can help you to stick???
