It was a Diversion!!!

The post on Friday about DH, my mum and me going to a Football game!!! :)

It was actually my FIL's secret birthday party... he was going to the Bo'ness Car museum with MIL, BIL and two other relatives while we were meeting with 12 other people at the Bo'ness Railway Museum where we ushered them onto the steam train for a tour - with FIL and Co turning up 5 mins before the train departed.


This was a long planning from my MIL since April, involving us in lots of things and all those LIES!!! LOL. We had a fab day though, and FIL thoroughly enjoyed it - and was very surprised when he saw us all on the train.

Afterwards we went for high tea at the Richmond Park Restaurant/Hotel where the food was very nice - but the service wasn't the best to state it mildly! DH held a speech before food, we had games afterwards (guess the baby photo etc.) and then even did our version of the "Von Trap Family" ...Adamson's family ... sounds a bit like "Adams Family" ... not sure what's worse ... LOL and sang "My Brother Bill (The Fireman's Song) by the Corries with BIL, DH and me going a bit reluctantly up to sing ... ;)

FIL's birthday is not until Tuesday - and we didn't give him his gifts yet (still working on that scrapbook of his!! Well.. finalising it.)

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't bel

Official!!!

Still struggling with sleep deprivation from Superbowl on Sunday, but hey … maybe I’ll get finally to sleep BEFORE midnight. And since 11am this morning the “little secret” from the Adamsons is now not a secret anymore. WE ARE PREGNANT WITH TWINS!!!!  The IVF run in December was positive (typical, the one we thought won’t do anything and we’ll have to go down to London to get immune issues checked out), and we had our official 12 week scan today. Both Chip and Chap are doing fine, are moving about, have all limbs and noses and chins and heartbeats. And I’m feeling as if a big rock’s been removed from my shoulders … have been reading too many horror stories about twin pregnancies resulting in just one baby born or even losing both. Think with 5 years IVF in the bag we know far too much about the medical background and are more likely to worry about what COULD go wrong instead of “enjoying the pregnancy”. But there you go – all going ok, tests were normal as well (don’t have t
