Not a good day yesterday..

Well it really was friday 13th for me yesterday in more ways than one! still cant use hot water here, have to wait to hear from natural heritage as as of yet still no response from them, great how quick they are when someone may be harming bats but when a family needs helps, they are slow to phone or even visit!!

Sick of not being able to use hot water, was a complete joke this morning trying to have a bath! filled kettle up 10-20 times and hardly filled the bath, going through more electric as using the kettle to boil up water to wash dishes and as for clothes washing, well thats a complete no no :( kids back to school next week and how am i expected to wash their clothes???

Was due money in yesterday and it didnt go in, seems they mucked up at their end and have to wait for it to go in, so guess what my bingo money is getting used? getting kids school uniforms, paying for dinner money etc

Was really fed up yesterday as felt like why do i bother comping as soon as i get a good win, then it is jinxed in some way, just my luck really : /

Below is a pic of the win i got the other day, was phoned up to say i was the runner up from popfun and have won a ocean in my pocked turtle playset, gonna be perfect for a pressie at christmas time, can you believe its only 130+ days to go?? shocking isnt it

But feeling more calmer today and ready to tackle things, stuck into my comping again, behind by 3 days as been slack lately but not gonna win anything if i dont enter!





Still havent done any holiday planning, just so much to do and never seem to have the time, 7 weeks to go now so got to get going with it, not looking forward to the flights, yes flights lol as we are in north scotland then it is very expensive to go direct from glasgow to orlando, so flying from gatwick this year so have to catch flight from scotland down to gatwick, bad enough the 1 flight but 2? what ever was i thinking whoops

We always fly with thomson airways as they have such fantastic service, must remember to take pics of the plane this year, sure i will get a chance to do that, fingers crossed :) least its better than our first time abroad and our youngest was just 2 then, oh we were so not preapred for what happened on the flight, he screamed the whole way there and the way back, no im not exaggerating he really did scream the whole way and it was so much worse on the way back, nothing i did could sooth him and he only fell asleep 20 mins before we landed!

Last years flight went great with him, was so much calmer and he actually slept a long time on the night flight, so no worries about that for this year, he is looking forward to eating a krabby patty (yes he is spongebob mad lol) and going to the cheesecake factory (only cause i keep going on about that fantastic restaurant)

Although my main big concern about the flight is will i be uncomfortable as i had sciatica a few months back and sitting for long makes me sore, 9 hours in the plane may not be the best thing for me :( will have to see how it goes, my sciatica started after doing a jillian michaels exercise dvd, maybe not related but it was a really high impact dvd and maybe one the moves i did wrong, so no longer doing that dvd and have been wary of doing high impact since

So my plans for today are:

Catching up on my competitions (includes 40/50 pages of postal/text comps :o)
Start up my holiday folder, driving directions, tips etc
Sell lots of things on ebay, have quite a lot to sell including whisky!

If i do all that, then it will be a lot out of the way :)
