Snowflurry Friday

-
What a day already!! :) Alarm went off at 7:30am and I changed it to 8:30am - woke up by myself at 9am - the time when I was supposed to be at the doctors for the Zolly injection!!! So I phoned the practice and said I'd be there in 10mins (sooo lucky our doctors are 5 mins walk away!). Fortunately, the nurse did have space and I got the Zolly as soon as I came into the waiting area. When I asked for the flu jab appointment she just did the shot there and then, so I got that out of the way. Still needed another appointment with her so booked the appointment there and then. When I got out of the practice it was slightly snowing... more sleet than snow, but still... :o Apparently it's going to be worse on Sunday!

Went back home, had a very quick breakfast then drove out to Straiton to meet up with Lisa for Costco shopping. :) They had quite nice scrapbooking kits, but I didn't buy it - have to get my stash sorted as it is right now. Wasn't too sure about the Maple Syrup (price higher than I thought?), but got the pack of Halloumi, Chestnuts, Almonds, some nice choc brown boots (blame Lisa for that purchase!!) and 10 books of 1st class stamps. While in Costco I tried some Wonton soup with Shrimp, it was absolutely YUMMIE (LOVE Wonton Soup!!!) so bought a pack as well. :)

I actually wanted to go to Ikea afterwards but was a bit in a rush timewise and didn't have my Ikea Family card with me, so went straight to Sainsbury's to check for the Chai Latte I tried at Sharon's - no luck! :( So will have to order online I think.

Quick dash to the Inlaws to pick up the new Wolves Calendars and then went home, had lunch and finished one chapter of the book I was reading, "The Last Gospel" by David Gibbins - LOVE his books ("Atlantis" & "Crusaders Gold" were the first ones of the series).

Wanted to go to the gym but arm hurts a little from the flu shot (I usually get that, so am not worried), and my tummy is playing up so it's SAFER to stay at home.

Will finish the CJ now though which I have since AUGUST!! :o

We get our chai latte stuff in Waitrose. I've never seen it in Sainsburys, although they say they stock it. I can bring you some when I come up next weekend if you want? ;o)

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
