As much as I love the bears I am glad that we get the house back tommorrow. The upstairs looks like a bomb has hit it lol.
Still I think little bears had a good half term playing with her friends and going to playscheme. Still only seven weeks to Christmas now, I must go Christmas shopping as soon as they go back to school and college. Having a bit of a cash flow crisis at the moment so I hope it resolves itself soon lol.
Not done much today, decided to have a chillin weekend because I have felt a bit unwell again nothing serious just a bit under the weather.
So tommorrow must go food shopping and tackle the house if I have time, If not must tackle the house on tuesday.

Busy Bear Again
Another busy week I have been taking little bear to a local playscheme. Its only a couple of hours but she really enjoys it. I like to help the kids make art and crafty type stuff its good fun.
Its done nothing but rain here for the last few days, but tommorrow promises to be a fine day so I intend to get lots of washing washed and dried. Only trouble is I have to go out in the morning so I hope its still fine when I come back.
Little bear is really pleased because she got her Yellow Belt on sunday and she is looking forward to going to Karate to show everyone. So she is full of beans lol.

Shopping
Had a good day today in town with Bears No1 and 3. We bought a new game for the pc and some new trainers for little bear. We had tea in town as well a rare treat for us all.
Hubby went to the opticians today and has decided to buy some new reading glasses, as a spare pair incase he looses his other ones, we can get the lenses for free so he may has well. As someone who has lost there reading glasses for about three months I appreciate how valuable they can be. I like the ones he picked they really suit him.
Anyway because he is diabetic he had to have some drops in his eyes, which meant he spent the rest of the day as blind as a bat which means he couldn't see me spending his money lol.
Lots of sales on in town I managed to get little bear some umbro trainers for under a tenner which is really good.
I got some candlewick which means hubby can make loads of candles from the left over wax that we have saved up. Does anyone know what we can use for moulds. At the moment we only have one which is a bit time consuming if you want to make a lot of candles.

A STinking Cold
Little Bear went to Karate and good news she is going in for her yellow belt this sunday which is fantastic.
Sorry I have not blogged for a while but I have been laid up with a really bad cold (or flue), I have kept Hubby up all night snoring, he's tried everything, tickling my ears, nose and everything but nothing workes. He's tried getting me to go downstairs and sleep on the settee but all I say is just a minute and go back to sleep. So he is not getting any sleep which isn't pleasing him, lol.
Anyway feeling a little better today, Hubby is totally Knacked so it will be my turn to look after him for a couple of days lol.
Anyway thanks to my good friends for chearing me up when Im feeling down, thanks teej, Mad cow and Wheelie.

Busy Tuesdays
Tuesdays are always busy for me because little bear finishes school late and then she has Karate in the evening, so I have to fetch her from school, do tea, and take her to karate all in the space of two hours which is no easy task. Little bear is doing her next belt next week so she is really excited about that.
Wheelie is grumbling because his bod won't let him do what he wants to do and its mid October and he wants to get on and do this years Christmas Cake, his Christmas Cakes tend to way about thirteen pounds, we still have a bit of last years left. The reason they survive so long is because of the amount of brandy he puts into them, they are really nice, but they have to be made now so that they are matured enough for Christmas.
Hubby makes chutneys every year for Christmas and is scouring the net for receipies more than he has got until a few days ago. My dad has got a glut of tomatoes, which he doesn't think he will get ripe in time before all the sun goes. So hubby wants to make some green tomato chutney, does anyone know of a good receipie.
I have been getting a few things sorted out in the house, I am still sorting out the main bedroom, the idea being that if I can get it tidied out, I can get round to sorting out some storage space and some flooring. Of course its a bit like the Chicken and the Egg, without the storage its difficuilt to tidy it out, but until I tidy it out there is no room to move to put in the carpet etc or put the storage. So I feel a bit like I am going round in circles.
Hubby and Oldest son sorted out a computer for him in his room so that the family computer can be moved downstairs and out of the main bedroom so that gives me a bit more room to get organised.
Anyway will sign off now as am absolutely bushed.

Gardening Days
Today I have spent some time in the garden, attempting to cut the grass. I got one lawn cut and then the belt came of the lawnmower, I wouldn't mind but I had bought a new belt to see if that was the problem, but it wasn't.
Anyway the mammoth gardening project is drawing to an end, with help from my dad, we have painted fences, weeded flower beds, re seeded some of the garden. Re-built one fence and repainted the bench. It has taken about three months, but at least it is coming to an end now.
Hubby is not very well today so will have to be a short blog. He had a brain attack (small stroke)
On friday and he is switching in and out a bit and he intends to get up a bit late tommorrow which means I have to set the alarm clock.!

Rainy Days
Its been one of those rainy days here that Hubby loves, only of course being Saturday we had to spend it in the house, because the bears are of school.
I hate being stuck in the house when its raining, especially when I have a mountain of washing to get dryed as well, and my dryer is playing up at the moment, I don't know why its probably where the filter goes that needs cleaning out. Anyway will have a look at it when its cooled down a bit.
I have been that bored I have actually hoovered the stairs, which is my least favourite job in whe whole world apart from cleaning out the cooker, but Im not that bored.
Anyway I have decided next week I am going to town and I am going to spend some money on myself, I meant to do it this week but what with my tooth playing up I haven't managed it yet. Also I intend to start Christmas Shopping, I am not going to leave it till the last minute this year.
Bear No 2 might have an interview for a job next week, so fingers crossed again.

Funny Stories
I was joking with MC a while ago about falling in the washing machine. I said I hadn't but there was a time when I fell in the freezer. So I thought I would tell you about it.
Once upon a time me and hubby owned a large chest freezer. We didn't have much money so we couldn't afford to stock it much. One day, the day before pay day, I went to look in the freezer for something for tea. The freezer was in the pantry, which was a cupboard off the hallway of the flat we used to live in. There in the bottom was one very lonely packet of fish fingers, Oh good I thought we can have some fishfingers, mashed potatoes, and some veg with some gravey. It will be quite nice. So imagine the scene, here we have one great big fridge freezer, one very tiny bear, and one very lonely packet of fishfingers right at the bottom of the chest freezer.
So I leant right over to reach the fish fingers and I couldn't reach them, so I lean a little bit further, and you guessed it I fell in, only trouble was there I was upside down with my hands touching the bottem and my little legs dangling just over the top, and the lid came down firmly on my bum.
Only trouble was that having fallen in I couldn't get back out again, so I try to shout hubby. I shout and shout for all I am worth but he dosent hear me, remember the freezer is in the cupboard off the hallway, and he has the telly on in the room. Only trouble is I am getting colder and colder, and the only thing I am getting when I try to shout is a mouth full of frost.
So by this point I am getting a bit worried and Oh I forgot to mention I was also pregnant at the time, which is probably why I couldn't get myself out again. Anyway eventually after about ten minutes I hear hubby shouting me he had got worried and had decided to investigate. So I shout again. This time he hears me, and when he has stopped laughing he manages to pull me out, but I did manage to catch hold of the fishfingers on the way up. When he pulled me out he found one bear with a very frosty nose and glasses all frozen over. Needless to say he had to make me a hot cup of tea, before I could cook the tea because I was so cold. After that I made hubby reach in the freezer for things at the very bottom. lol.

What a Day
Well I am officially toothless. The tooth came out a lot better than expected, but it left quite a hole that had to be patched up. Still its not too bad considering, I keep taking pain killers and so far it seems to be working. I sat on the heamatology ward afterwards, but they let me go early because I seemed ok. So that was good.
Only trouble was on my way back through town I bumped into, She who must not be named (the motherinlaw). Only trouble was I couldn't make a get away without her seeing me so I had to stop and chat. I managed to get away by saying I had to fetch the little un from school. So she went one way and I went the other.
Anyway I came home and cooked a simple tea (stick it on top of the cooker and warm it up, sort of tea) and now I am resting.
The final insult though came from the dentist, she told me to avoid alchohol today, on the very day I could do with a drink the most. Still I am being a good bear and not having any (Sulk).
Still on the plus side got quite a bit of the Jeffrey Deaver book read today, very good book.

Nice Restfull Day
I have decided to have a rest day today, I have worked hard over the last couple of weeks spring cleaning the house, and I feel I need a rest.
Little Bear wasn't at school today it was parents open day, so we got a little lie in today, which was nice. We went to see little bears teacher and she is doing really well at school, so that's good.
Hubby cooked a nice dinner for us and a couple of friends and now I am chilling out with a can and watching Star Trek on telly.
Later I am going to read some more of my book, which has got to the interesting part.
Had a nice time yesterday with my sister in law and my eighteen month old neice, who is really georgous.
So all in all a good couple of days.

Not Toothless yet
Well I went to the hospital, and to cut a long story short, by the time they had decided that my tooth indeed did need to come out. It was too late for them to take it out because I couldn't wait the six hours on the heamatology department because it shut at five.
So I have to go back next monday which is the earliest appointment time and have it done then. Only trouble is I was suppossed to be going to the dentist to have my abssess drained but now I won't be able to have that done until 17 October. Also Monday is my shopping day with my Dad and I have had to cancell that as well. Needless to say I was not that impressed with the whole thing.
So I have had to remake all the arrangements about little bear for next monday instead. Still at least I had a lesson in dentristry from the young male student who looked at my teeth. I got all the information about student loans and finances, which I was interested in because bear no 1 may be going to university next year, fingers crossed. He was telling me he lives on spagheti bolinaise with lots of lentils and chick peas in, (I have never tried adding these to spag bol, will try that me thinks, wonder if bears will eat it).
Anyway I managed to get some of my book read, I have got to the really interesting part now (its called the vanished man by Jeffrey Deaver, if you are interested T and MC. Its a lincoln Rhyme one and it is in typical Deaver style, makes you wonder who the criminal is straight away.

A Bloggy couple of days
Yesterday I went to the dentist, I have had toothache for a couple of months, bear with a sore head, but I have had to wait a while for a dentist appointment. Anyway I finally get to the dentist and she says that I have an abssess between two teeth (don't know how I managed that) and I also have a wisdom tooth that has gone rotten, which has to come out. Ok so far, then she looks at the sheet I filled in and she realised that I am factor xi deficient which means that I bleed a bit more than normal people, so she wanted my heamatology card, (of course I haven't brought it). So I go home and ring her the number to ring. With me so far send me an E_mail if so I could do with an explanation. Anyway the dentist says she will ring the hospital and get back to me. Ok.
Today the dentist phones up, she has phoned the hospital and they are not happy for her to take the tooth out because of the risk of bleeding and because it is a rather large wisdom tooth that dosent look like it will come out easily. So I have to go to the dental hopsital tommorrow to have the tooth out and then I have to go to another hospital to sit on the heamatology ward for 6 hours so that they can make sure I am ok.
All this is very short notice, so I have had to arrange for someone to take and collect little bear from school because I won't be able to. All this for a tooth that isn't even hurting me lol.
Anyway have told hubby to cook tea tommorrow because I don't think I will feel like cooking after I come home from the hospital.
On top of this Bear No2 got a letter saying she didn't get the job, she says she's not upset, but I would be if I were her.
Also I have spent two whole days cleaning up, clearing out the girl bears room and I am absolutely knacked, and the main room has got even messier in the process, I had planned to sort it out tommorrow but now I won't be here so I guess it will have to wait.
On the plus side.
1 Going to hospital means I might get time to finish the Jeffrey Deaver book I am reading at long last (I have had it for over a year)
2. Might get tea cooked for me (Grin)
3. Don't have to fetch little bear from school.
4. Girlbears room looks lovely now its all tidy, it looks so much bigger now.
5. Little Bear got a new Karate suit tonight and it looks great ,she has her first belt on it already, and in two weeks time she is going in for the next belt. Well done little bear.
6. Bear No2 has heard of some other stores that are recruiting that she is going to apply to.
So I guess I have a lot to be positive about really.
Anyway if I don't blog tommorrow it will be because I am a bear with a very sore head and have gone to bed and unfortunately its not because of a hang under lol.

Busy Busy Bear
Today I have been tidying up bear no 1's bedroom, I was supposed to be doing all the bedrooms, but it took that long to do bear no 1's (two days) that I haven't started on the others yet. Still bear no 1's room looks really nice now I wonder how long it will stop that way.
Trouble is once you get one room looking nice you want all the others to look that way. So tommorrow I am going to start on the girls room, hopefully that won't take as long to do, and I might be able to make a start on the main bedroom.
Why is it that teenagers don't seem to notice mess, I guess it's because they flop into bed and don't notice. Now I am destined for weeks of mum where did you put, my game, book , socks, cd, dvd etc. because he will never be able to find anything until he has quite happily messed it all up again. he says it is organised chaos, I say it is a total mess.
Anyway will sign off now as I am a very tired bear.

Its Sale time
Today I went to town with bear no 2 to buy her some new clothes. I couldn't believe the amount of sales that were on in the shops, and all the lovely clothes at really cheap prices. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to buy anything for me at the moment, however, I definitely intend to go down town later in the week and get something for ME. Bear no 2 got some really nice clothes for her interview and she looks really nice in them.
I enjoyed having a wonder round town with bear no 2 we don't spend a lot of time together just me and her and it was nice to talk girl talk and look at clothes etc. The men in the family refuse to go clothes shoping with me, both of them say its really boring, and mutter things like how much longer are you going to be,Not another shop, what was wrong with the last one, etc but funnily enough when it was just me and her we were done in record time, only one hour, amazing.

Good News
Bear No 2 has an interview for a job on thursday, which is good news because she has been skint for quite a while. I am hoping she gets the job. She is really nervous about going for the interview and keeps asking me what she should say (just be yourself) I tell her. Now she wants me to give her some money so she can buy something to wear for the interview. Still if she gets the job it will be money well spent.
All this has got me thinking about going back to work myself, but there are a couple of little obstacles to overcome. Still might consider it if I can get something that would fit in to school hours. Will have to look into it further.
There are a couple of things I promised myself I would do before I get much older, but both of them require more money than I have at the moment, neither are urgent things so not essential but it would be nice to do them, I guess you could say they are on my wish list.
I tend to look at money in three catergories.
No 1 Essential items, food, clothing, rent etc all the boring stuff that has to be paid for.
No 2 Things that we need but can't afford just yet, they go on will have to wait pile.
No 3 wish list, things that I would buy do if I had the money but aren't essential.
No 4 How to squeeze it out of him indoors. The words camel and sandstorm come to mind!

Karate
Yesterday little bear went to Karate and did her level 9 grading for a yellow tipped belt (first belt).
She worked really hard bless her and she was so proud when sensi(teacher) handed her a certificate.
Today has been one of those days it all started with a bus.
Hubby had to go to doctors at 10.20 so we set off at 9.55 for the bus at 10.20 we were still waiting so hubby says we can't go now we will miss the appointment and have to wait until end of surgery.
Only trouble was he was out of tablets, so I phone up the doctors and explain, doctor kindly sorts out a perscription, when will it be ready I ask twelve oclock he says.
I turn up at 12.10 only to find out that surgery is closed for lunch!, not open until 1.30 great, So I phone up hubby and tell him I will wait until it opens. Finally I get the perscription and take it to the chemist, only to find out that they are out of one of his tablets, so I have to phone the docs in the morning and sort it out. What a day

Cricket
I don't like cricket, at least that's what I thought until yesterday/today. When I heard that England might actualy win the ashes, I asked Hubby to put it on the telly.
Well after about ten minutes of hubby shouting the rules at me, I got really into it, and soon Im shouting "Come on Peterson, hit another six man, show the Ausies who's Boss) Polite version. It was great, I really enjoyed it. Then today we sat and watched the England Parade and it turns out the England Ladies had won their ashes as well. well I was gobsmacked as we say upnorth what a double wammy for the Australians.
Anyway at least now I have found a sport that hubby will also watch with me it goes like this.
I am banned from watching football because hubby says my language is too blue, basicly it goes like this, Come on you great fairy, I could do better, who was that to you fart, Get up Beckham you great girl, again polite version.
I am also banned from watching tennis because hubby can't stand it he says its like watching paint dry, boring.
So now I have a new song.!
I don't like cricket I love it!.
WELL DONE ENGLAND

Teddy Bears Cafe
Today it is the weekend this means that everyone gets up at different times and wants feeding for example.Hubby was up at 4.00am letting out the damm cat. And then in again. And then out again. Cat hates rain! Hubby loves rain!. Cat couldn't come in until hubby came in.
I got up at 10.00am I thought I will have some stew for dinner that I found in the freezer.
So I put it on to boil. Hubby dosen't want any dinner he had something earlier. ok.
Little bear gets up (What do you want for dinner I ask?) no reply. Ok, I think.
Start eating my dinner and little bear wants some so I give her my dinner.
Bear No 2 gets up she makes tuna and tomato's on toast now it is 1.30pm.
At 2.30 pm Bear No 1 gets up and wants feeding so I make him Scrambled Eggs and Ravioli on toast. Now it is 4.00pm. Guess what now, little bear and bear no 2 want their tea.
I think - I am having a break for a bit - I have been cooking practicaly all day and now I am tired. Stuff this.
Sit down until 5.00pm and then cook tea. Problem is hubby can't eat what we have so I have to cook two lots of tea (asuming he wants any).
I forgot to say any time anyone has anything to eat the cat decides it wants feeding as well!
Does anyone else have this problem?.
