Short but sweet....

Short but sweet post today...

I have the day off... I am spending it with my hubby, which is nice... granted so far we've started on the list of jobs that we decided on whilst on our way back from the Isle of Wight (which we went to during last week...)

So I thought I'd tell you about our spur of the minute trip... We decided on Tuesday last week that we would go and camp on the Isle of Wight for a few days...

It was a great plan and also a great trip =) 

We did some Ingress-ing and also lots of different touristy things... 

• Newport (wandering round Ingress-ing)
• Campsite we went swimming and sorted out the tent
• Ventnor for a walk along the sea front and an ice cream
• St Catherine's Lighthouse
•  The Watermill at Calbourne
• Butterfly World
• Model Village at Godshill
• Shanklin 
• Yarmouth

As you can see we did a lot in 3 days =) 

Tomorrow we are back to panel again.... which is just ARGH!!!!

Ten Things Of Thankful #6.2 oooo....

I have decided I'm going to do photos for these ten.... They are  photos from my honeymoon, which I am very thankful for so here goes....

1. Hubby =)

 2. Beautiful views in the sun....

 3. Beautiful flowers and amazing aromas

4. Towel Art!!! How amazing is this... We would come back to something like this quite often...

5. The crashing of the waves, it was stunning to sit by the beach at night and listening to the waves...

 6. Gorgeous butterfly, one of the many that are found on the island

 7. The pool... granted my hubby decided to take this while I was joining in with the aqua class... (the evil moo)

 8. SUNSHINE!!!! the clear blue sky and the bright sun. The sky was such a bright blue...

 9. We got to swim with Sharks... which was amazing... They are nursing sharks which are a little less likely to bite you but still it was amazing... We got to snorkel above them while they swam around

10. We also got to swim with Dolphins... It was absolutely amazing. We did toe pushes, dancing, jumps and then loads of photos...  

So I hope you like my trip down memory lane... and the thankfulness of it =)

six word saturday #4 I think....

 

It is Hot Hot Hot Today!

The temperature is scorchio today... So I am going to go and relax by the pool..

Ten Things of Thankfulness.... #6

Its another week... granted I missed last week but that was due to being away from a computer and unable to actually post =( So without further ado I'll go on to my thankfulness... 

1. My Hubby, He will probably always be in my top ten, because I am in awe that he is my hubby and that he is always there for me but also treats me like a princess... Also he took me away last weekend so yay for him and time away together... 
2. Time off from work to spend with my hubby, it was lucky that I had last weekend off (and this one) so that I could go away with hubby to a blues festival which was surprisingly good.. 
3. The sun, I'm not usually a sun lover, and I'm not a great fan of the heat, but to be honest I am loving it... mainly because I eat less... and loose weight faster... =D bonus
4. Spending time with my FIL, yesterday I went to the cricket with him and it was great fun, we were having a good laugh and also the crowd helped with the atmosphere, it was a great night and our local team won =D
5. Good friends, who help me and keep me going when I'm having a bad day, or just having a day where I just can't get my head on straight, this is the main reason I'm so thankful for all of them.
6. Online shopping, I'm thankful for this because I live at the top of a block of flats that doesn't have a lift... and so having someone else who will carry all of the heavy shopping up the stairs... however I did feel sorry for the poor guy who had to carry them up....
7. Alone time. This weekend my hubby is away doing DofE, so I am having a weekend of me time. I went out with friends for lunch (which was great and much appreciated as it gave me time to talk about everything and nothing.. and also look at fish) and tomorrow I'm having a BBQ with FIL and hubby's sister and her family. I'm sure it'll be a good day  
8. Cold Showers! Having been out in the sweltering 30.5 degree heat (according to my car) I was grateful to get inside and into a cold shower and relax... now sat enjoying a nice cold drink... 
9.  Mobile phone signal, this may seem like a very bizarre thing to be thankful for, but as I've said my other half is in the deepest darkest parts of Dartmoor (ok I exaggerate a bit but shh...) however he has managed to find some signal to be able to call me and send texts and emails and generally just let me know that he is thinking of me (which I know but it's always nice to be reminded =).)
10. The pool at the gym, the outside one, I was going to go and sit by it this afternoon but given the temperature... and the fact the fun is beating down I think I may give this a miss at least until it cools down a touch (if it does)  

There you go my lovelies... it has taken me a while to do this but that's because I have been thinking about them =)

7 Quick Takes... No idea what number...

Hello... been a while since I joined this or to be honest have posted anything on my blog, guess I feel like I have lost a bit of ooph... Not only with the whole blog thing but also the whole adoption thing, especially as we still haven't heard anything else from our adoption team.. it's rather annoying...  so on to the quick takes...

1. As above still awaiting for any sort of contact from our social worker, we have emailed them a couple of times and had very short non committal emails back in return, needless to say both hubby and I are getting very peed off at this and it will have been a month since the 'prepanel' on tuesday so I think we will be starting to get a bit more forceful come next week if we don't hear anything...

2. I have gone on to permanent nights at work, mainly because we have so many work issues at the moment with staffing, it's so very annoying, but it also means I'll have a set rota so I'll know what I'm going and when I am doing it... Also I have been able to pretty much choose my own rota for August and it's great.. I'm not working a single weekend... (muhahahaha....) Granted I do have 2 weeks annual leave... and I'm looking forward to doing something, however not sure what...

3. It has been Hot Hot Hot here in the UK this week and well despite having sun screen on I still managed to get sun burnt.. needless to say it did really suck, but at least I now have a mild tan on me where it happened.. and I am well aware of ensuring that I need to keep covered up but also protected, so will keep on top it again... but will still enjoy the sun shine =D

4. My hubby is away at the moment, which is a bit sad, and I also found a bit annoying when I got home from work last night as he hadn't done any cleaning or tidying... which is what I did when I got home from work yesterday morning... very very annoying but at least I did it... But he is in Dartmoor at the moment, which he is doing dofe... however I received a text from him saying 'I have a key for princetown prison' which just made me laugh...

5. I'm off to the gym in a bit... to work out... and then relax by the outside swimming pool... hehe so cool....

6. Also off to see the cricket tonight with FIL which will be good fun... currently our local team is unbeaten in the t20 matches, so it's all good... hopefully this will continue this evening =D 

7. I do love it when you find a cd that you own that you haven't listened to for a while, and when you put it on it adds to the amazing of the cd but also makes you realise that there are some amazing songs out there... currently listening to a Jimmy Eat World cd that has been in my car... 

Anyway that's it... for more quick takes, clicky here =)

urgh... feeling rough

The last few days I've been feeling like crap physically, I wish I knew what was going on, Monday I felt a bit off colour but mainly put this down to having worked the night shift Sunday and it just being the follow on from that... However yesterday I had a migraine, which was something that I've not actually had for a while. It made me feel sick and also I was just drained of energy. Today, I woke up and I was still feeling grotty, I was still feeling sick and vomited literally as I was going out the door to work, too late to phone in sick, so I went and well yes it wasn't the wisest idea, so I did the medication round and then came home. All I've done this afternoon is slept, luckily I feel a bit better and I've managed to keep some food down. I'm hoping that tomorrow I will keep the sickness away and manage to make it through the day at work...

I've also felt highly emotional, which in itself has been a pain in the arse. I have been tearful but I'm putting this down to hormones, being somewhere that isn't normal... I don't know it's all a bit odd...

I don't know... all so strange...
