Blah my internet!

Seems it’s always the last day of the month that it goes *POOF* on me! lol, I think everyone try’s to use up their allocated/paid bandwidth before the 1st and it just can’t seem to handle it. But I’ll keep this one short as I “stole” Deon’s portable today and it’s really SLOW, so I can’t do a full graphic post here today.

Just a “sneaky” on what’s coming tomorrow- hee hee

sneakpeek1

Something all the fab Designers as Scrap Matters have been working on ;-)

and I have a new kit too---

sneakpeek2

A request from Bunny that sort of got made into a full kit! lol

Be sure not to miss my CU GRAB BAG which will disappear tomorrow!

(see this post for FULL details)

Bre thanks for your comment yesterday ;-), and it’s because the “policies” and investments have “life, disability and chronic illness” cover to them- so every time we move them they want to check I’m not going to “peg” in a day or two and give my family a huge payout! BWHAHAHAHA. PITA, but I understand it ;-)

intospring-template

And a freebie for you today that took me an hour to get up! BWHAHAHAH.

Hugs and Loves

THANKS for the Heads up WEnch ;-P,

Here is a NEW LINK for the template guys- first one went POOF same as my internet speeds- hahaha.

Vampire Wednesday

ARRKK- I had to do some MORE blood tests today- OY, starting to feel like a “Vampires” feeding farm! hahahaha.

My “up to the minute” broker who keeps my insurance policies at their best, can drive me dilly,(but I know that’s not a bad thing-lol). Yeah, talking about you Frank! lol. But must admit, he is the only one so far that we have used that every six months will check the investments and which one is paying better or not. So I always get the – we’re moving this lot over to that company and taking a bit from here to over there, blah blah blah- but it ALWAYS lands up me having to do a medical with the freaking AIDS tests and the SCARY scale! hahaha.

The funniest was that they had phoned last week to send a nurse to the house(YAY) but thought I was still in PE at home! I had a REALLY good laugh when I told them I was in Hartbeespoort Dam and there was dead silence on the other side of the phone! HAHAHAHAHAH.

Got another phone call from Frank to say he had organized a nurse  from Pretoria to come out. Well she has just left and it wasn’t tooooo bad!

I had to pee on the strippy thingy- but was like, OMG, if I miss this thing she is going to have to sit here for at least another hour until I get a full bladder again! BWHAHAH- I made a good mess to get it first time though! ROTF!

The scale was the thing I was really worried about- Oy, my nerves! But I haven’t put on as much weight as I thought I had ( WOOHOOOOOO) and it’s only 6kg! The way my clothes have been fitting I “presumed” it was way over 10! lol. I don’t think I’ve ever felt happier putting ON weight! hahaha.

Okies, enough yakking again- some more creative CT LO’s using some kits still on SALE ;-)

Mad Monday

AHHH man we had a really crappy “sports” weekend- lol, it left the boys rather miserable here this weekend. We were kicked out the Cricket World Cup and the Sharks lost on Sunday- boo hoo! Man it’s amazing how much a “game” can change the mood in this house- BWHAHAHAHA.

AHH man I received some photo’s from my little sister last night of my nephew Zachary at his swimming lessons! I can’t BELIEVE he has grown so much. And he is constantly smiling and is such a happy contented chappy ! My sister was truly blessed I tell you.

I have a HOME

Well not up here yet (a permanent one that is-lol) but I have put down roots EVENTUALLY and found myself a “Designing home”.

*Warning*- full post ahead- grab COFFEE- lol

Andrea the owner of Scrap Matters “lassoed” me last week with a mail or 6- hahah, and I was happy to say YES. I got a ton of PM’s and Mails from designers and Scrappers alike asking me not to go as I was there as an “extended guest” –(which is uhum, not really a done thing but I thank Happy Scrap Girl for that one) lol.

I must admit my head is still spinning with all the “stuffs” I have to learn how to do etc etc and I will probably drive everyone a little dilly with HOW and WHAT’. ( ok ok, I can do that without the questions right?? lol) But it sure feels good to know that I have a permanent address again.

So CELEBRATE with me the next week! I will have some fun things going on on my blog and of course some “give aways”, RAKS and freebies! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
