Its my Babys birthday today , i cant belive that lukes a whole six years old , seems like only yesterday he was born *sniff* i got up this morning and the first thing i did was sing him happy birthday , and the first thing he says is....."mum im to old for that now" lol kids huh! i was like , so when did you stop calling me mummy?! lol talk about an overnight change!

oooh i forgot to say , anyone wanna offer to print my leaflets for me? lol my printer just conked out right in the middle of printing...grrr.

wow im amazed at how tidy i kept my desk today. well its sort of tidy hehe.
not much to say tonight , apart from whooo hooo my kids go back to school tomorow! i love em to bits but boy its nice when you get a couple of hours un-interupted jewellery making time!

well talk about catching them in the act.......my little sods of kids were wide awake at 3 o'clock this morning....know how i know that?.....well look at the picture. im fast asleep and theres a photo of me on my phone (that was time stamped). the only people who could of taken this are my darling children...... when asked "who took this photo" the reply was "i did mummy do you like it?" LOL my god i look a mess. good job i havnt got my mouth wide open , dribbling and snoring cos i would of died of embarresment.

Well its offical....we are getting married! , the deposit is all payed up on the registry office , have a lookie here :http://www.kent.gov.uk/static/virtual-tours/dartford.html , the hall is all booked for the reception , the cake design is all sorted (see pic) and the dress half payed for , looking for suits next week , and samples of invitations are ordered......looks like we are well on our way to having a great day! it feels nice to be getting things sorted out so far in advance , since we arn't actually getting married until the 6th of july next year , but hey at least this way we wont have to worry about it all at the last moment! , we are having the anne of cleaves room (up to 30 people) because i cant stand the thought of having to walk in front of more than that all staring at me....my mums gonna have to push me down the isle as it is lol if i could get away with it i think id opt for the two of us in the canary islands or something very far away! but god imagine how many people would be very upset with me if i did that...actually id rather not think about it.

Heres a little more about the registry office :

Following the dissolution of Dartford Priory, Henry VIII chose the site to construct a Manor House between 1541 and 1544 for his personal use. Anne of Cleves was given the Manor House as part of her divorce settlement by Henry, and lived there between 1553 and 1557. Elizabeth I retained the use of the Manor House but only stayed there on two occasions. Today only the Gatehouse remains, offering a choice of three rooms for ceremonies.
The Lord Irving Suite, completed in the early 1990s, was added to the hall to provide a self contained prestigious and spacious function room. Ceremonies in this room can comfortably accommodate up to 80 guests.
Situated in the oldest part of the building, the Anne of Cleves Room features timbered beams. A tapestried lover's pew takes pride of place within the period fireplace. This charming room allows for up to 30 guests.
The beamed Hythe Room, suitable for small registrations with just four guests, provides an intimate atmosphere with views over the front garden.
At the front of the building is a walled garden featuring wooden seating and a stone sundial. The facade of the Gatehouse provides an interesting backdrop for photographic opportunities. To the rear of this historic building is yet another seating area, where pictures of the couple might be taken in a more private setting.

*New Necklace*

named this one "jet magic" because of the darkness of colours in this necklace , i think its perfect to acompany that special little black dress (ahem if you can get away with wearing a little black dress....unlike me lol).

wow would you belive that this piccie of My Zac came from my mobile phone camera?? well it did lol , i cant belive how sharp the image is! i just upgraded my phone (because my contract was due for renewal) I chose a nokia N73 , and boy is it the bee's knees! the camera on this little baby is a 3.2 mega pixel Carl Zeiss , and its got everything....and i mean everything LOL , why bother looking for a new camera when you can get a mobile phone that does exactly the same thing?!!!
heres the linkie if you wanna know more ......http://shop.o2.co.uk/shop/o2uk/jsp/handsets/viewHandsetDetails.jsp?prodID=consumer:NOK:N73:3G:GROUP

whoooo hoooo its done at last , the website is up and running! www.silverserenity.co.uk , god im soooo thankfull i managed to get it done , the kids were brillient. i think they actually understood that "mummys busy" today lol cos they left me to get on with it for a change!

well today was adventfull , ive had nothing but questions from luke and zac latly , about all kinds of things , this is an example....luke wanted to know why girls have long hair and boys dont , so my reply was "well some boys do , and you can too!, look see...." lol

quick while i can get piccies on here im gonna try my hardest to get the jewellery ones here lol

i thought seeings as i have nothing better to do id show you some photos that we took of the kids today....I love this photo of luke , he's got milk all round his mouth lol , zac would of been in this photo too but he moved just as mike took it! tipical! if you look closely you can see that luke has a gap where his tooth was yesterday but is no more lol , why do their teeth allways fall out when your skint?! thats the second one he's lost now....*wail* i dont want him to grow up he's prefect as he is now lol

And this is Fred....my sisters & my boys puppy , he's a jack russel cross , and he's so cute i could just eat him.......well not literally. he lives with my sister and comes to visit us every day lol











and this is my babys all grown up......lol doesnt zac look cute in his school uniform! he went into school with no problems this morning and when he came out at 12:00 he was full of beans ,jumping all over the place, telling us what he had done today :)

It seems like ages since ive had time to update. well my pixel-palace site has now gone , sad to see it go but its not like i dont have other things to keep me busy!
i tried to add the pictures of my jewellery on the top of this post (whats been taking up my time resently), but they dont seem to want to upload lol , oh and building a web site to sell them on :) www.silverserenity.co.uk nothings up yet but it should be finished soon!....keep your eyes peeled :)
my baby starts school tomorow , yup he's just turned four and still looks like he's two. im scared he's not going to get the hang of school , because it does take a while for him to learn anything new.....for instance , he's only just learnt how to open his bedroom door. after 3 years of trying to teach him how to do it we were pretty much on the brink of giving up , but then he supprised us and did it. shame he was so excited about having done it , he jumped and fell over. kids huh. and im not just talking as a mother who doesnt want to let go , because everyone who meets him still thinks hes young enough to be in playschool. just yesterday a lady in the shop we vist regually said to him "so when are you going to be 3 then?" zac said , "im four , im going to be five next time"she looked at me and laughed then said "bless him , how old is he really?" its not that he looks 2.....he acts like it as well. he's just simply not ready for school yet. but im hoping that this year will teach him that he has to grow up a bit and do things for him self, like getting dressed etc etc...oh trust me its a bunddle of fun in the mornings....this morning he put his socks on upside down and his trousers on back to front with both legs in the same hole and he ended up hopping around the living room saying "mummy, i cant get my other shoe on" which may i add wasnt his shoe , it was lukes. so there we have it , a day in the life of Zac......so you see what i mean about "not ready"?! lol . If im brutly honist with myself , i think he has learning difficultys , currntly hes going to be monitored at school to see how he does things , but ive been told that alot of the things he cant do are a sure sign of learning difficulties , like he cant balance and his motor skills are poor. i hope for his sake that he doesnt find things too diffcult because i dont think i could stand to see him get fustrated any more than he allready does.
ok ive written an essay lol sorry for the rambling.

Whoooo i went and brought some new beads yesterday , and this is what i did with them today lol , the blue bracelet/ bangle ive named "moonlit crystal" which has blue and cream lampwork beads , large swarovski crystals, hill tribe silver beads and stirling silver findings. The choker necklace ive named "Cherry Ice" which has large chunky Quartz beads , swarovski crystal bicones on silver plated wire and a very silky ribbon so that the warer can ajust the choker lenght by tying the ribbon at the back of the neck. I also made this necklace in green and lilac. Only the thing is...im not quite sure what to do with them now ive made them! hehe...oh i so want to put them on and parade around! but i wont coz they are way to pretty for me lol

my sister stacey, Me , my sister kirsty , and my mum (would you belive thats the only picture of me out of about 400?? heheheheh) and some other piccies of my babys...not that they are babys anymore! the boy with the blond hair is my little brother keiran

my boys on holiday :)

Well , after loads of hassle trying to upload my piccies , ive given up! well for a short time anyway hehe i'll try again tonight because i did promise i'd share them :)
My poor website is going bye bye's :( i cant afford to keep the site going so ive decided to not to renew the hosting. Sad i know but heyho thats life i guess. well at least i'll still have my blog!

ARRRRGGG! somebody please help! i thought holidays were ment to bring fun and enjoyment? well all ive had so far is stress and its still a week to go before we set off. oh the joy. my suitcase is going to be way to big...(admitedly cos i'll fill it.)....its going to go way over the limit on the weight restrictions , we get 20 kilos on baggage , but i est that ours is going to weigh more like 35. and thats not ok for the following reasons : number 1) its £5.00 for each kilo extra that your case weighs and , number 2) you can only have a maximum of 30 kilos before they make you take stuff out of your case and leave it at the airport. so using logic here......im going to have to pay £25.00 more and have to leave about 5 kilos of luggage at the airport. the reason im having all these problems is because i packed what we are going to need on kinda like a test run to see how much it actually weighs (to save problems at the airport) and lets just say i wont even bother mentioning what the end results were. you might be thinking "why is this a problem?" well its not really because i could allways just take enough clothes etc for a couple of days and wash them as and when i need clean stuff. but....... i have two very very very scruffy boys who like to play with mud and just about everything that could cause stains. so adding that into the equation its not helpfull only going with 3 sets of clothes for a two week holiday. they would be naked for half the time they are there and spend the rest of the time in the launderette. *sulk* oh why isnt life simple. oh yes and then theres the problem of buying stuff whilst we are on holiday. we cant. end of story. because theres no room in the baggage allowance to bring it back.
ok enough about the luggage. hello......is anyone there.....? oi wake up and listen!
lol how much did i rant?! sorry...sincerly i am.....feels good though to get it of your chest hehe.
Steph how far from blackpool are you?....fancy giving me and the kids a lift home? pmsl
Right because i feel better now , im off to bed! :)

Well this is my second attemp at fimo, made this for my mums birthday today, took bloody hours (cos the kids kept saying "mum can we have...." ) I just hope to god that she likes it! if your wondering what the wire thinggie is its a photo holder lol.

had a go at playing around with fimo ....this little figure is my first attempt. dont laugh lol he's not in any sence of the word "perfect" but hey i enjoyed it! hehe i might even attempt (meaning : cock up) a few more.
This ones going to my little brother , i'll proberbly attach him to a keyring because my brother collects them so im sure he'll be happy with another one for his collection. i even put a little "K" for Keiran on the back.....needs something on the front though, he looks a bit plain. but cant come up with any "esay" answers....humm will have to sleep on that one. Talking of that sleeps thats something thats not coming to easy with me at the moment , must be to connected to my sis being up all night with the baby.....no im serous really , seems strange because me and my sister had never been close when we were young (we did the fight like cat and mouse thing) wasnt untill a couple of years ago that we really started talking , and for what seems like the last 6 months or so ive felt everything that she has , you name it and ive felt it lol i know when shes in trouble stressed out or in pain. oh and trust me did i protect myself when she went into labour! , its not like my empathy is strong with her either because when shes here i dont feel a thing *confussing huh* anyone got any sudjestions? or do you think that theres a reason we have become close, like for example someone is going to be going through a tough time and need the support? dunno im just rambling now arnt it....shut up cerrie. its 12:00 and im still not about to colapse due to lack of sleep ....norm in bed at the latest of an hour ago. oh god that sounds so sad! its not to obvious i dont have a life is it??? pmsl actually dont answer that. right im off to poke this kids and make sure they are all right (can imagine saying im going to poke them sounds bad but trust me they never wake up so it cant be that bad lol) before i head of to have a snicky siggie in the kitchen.

Here are the piccies i promised!......
Thanks for the comments girls (Krista & Steph) means a lot x

yup vick's asleep in this one lol oh the joys of parenthood!....aww but Lilly's sooo cute id be willing to stay up all night just to stare at her hehe.

MY SISTER HAS HAD HER BABY!!!! hehe sorry for the shouting but im so dead chuffed for her , she was amazing :) she had a baby girl named lilly may churcher born at 10:00 this morning weighing in at 6lb 14oz.....aww bless shes soooo cute! hehe i even got to cut the cord this time around lol oh i love being the birthing partner......ahem apart from when vicky bites me....lol im at home having a nice little quiet time after vicky phoning me at 4 this morning......pmsl the phone was ringing and i wasnt even sure it was the phone (you know when your not sure if your dreaming or not) then i looked at the clock and fell out the bed when i relized that it could only be sis in labour lol i dont think ive ever moved so fast! anyway id better go cos im trying to find a florist thats open on a sunday afternoon....going to be a long search!
huggles to all :) will post piccies soon!

Ops i havnt added an entry here for a while! allthough you'll be happy to know im not ranting today hehe. oh boy how computers can be adictive , ive been wasting away the hours playing zoo tycoon 2 lol i dont even know how comes i started playing it! but nether the less i did and now im hooked :) so i apologize to everyone who hasnt heard from me!
so whats been going on in my life?....well not a lot actually! lol mikes been working non stop for us bless him , we booked our holiday flights yesterday so ive been sorting out arising problems for that , for the price we had to pay for a flight to blackpool we might as well of gone to the canary islands lol but i wont moan because its for my boys...they are gonna love me forever when we turn up to the airport and announce that they can actually go on an plane instead of just pointing at them when they fly over head lol....i cant wait to see the little faces with looks of utter amazement :) so we are off to blackpool for two weeks on the 1st of july and because im such a big kid the first thing im going to do is get to that fair for the fast rides lol but the only problem with that is the fact that we will arive at blackpool airport at 06:50 ....my god that means ive gotta be there at ten to five in the morning......dreading having to get the kids up at 3 am! will be worth it though!!
ok time to stop talking , cos its 2o past 11 and i should be in bed!

Evening all :) Phew what a few horrid days ive had. The kids have been driving me nuts and so has Mike. Ok im going to shut up before i spend the entire night moaning about the argument we had lol so instead i'll tell you about my day so far.......... Got up at 5:00 am to do the boot fair this morning , we ended up at the field next to brands hatch , only took us around 20 mins to get there coz at that time in the morning every other sods asleep! normally it takes around 40 mins to get there. I had a right result once we got out the car and started to unpack cos as soon as i put my things on the ground opening bags etc , a lady brought all my books at a total cost of £12 and a nice young lad brought all my dvds at a cost of £13. and i also sold a portible dvd player for a tenner. Not bad coincidering i'd only been there five mins and hadent even unpacked yet lol.
Didnt come home with much either! i think the only thing that didnt sell well was the baby cot , i wanted that to go for about £15 cos its brand new , but i let it go for £7 near the end of the fair.
Just sitting here unwinding at the mo , feels nice after coming home to a house that looks like a bomb has hit it and having to do the housework all by myself with no offer of help from Mike......Ops sorry i said i wouldnt talk about that didnt i!
Right im off for a shower and a nice sleep lol
Oh that reminds me i have a piccie of my newley installed shower........sad getting excited over a new shower isnt it hehe i have a boaring life what can i say!.........I'll put it up later tonight when im not so nackered :)

ahhh , nothing better than putting your feet up and relaxing with a good book! well thats what ive been doing with my spare time since monday morning anyway tehe.
the kids are both back at school now , so i have more time to myself..whooo hooo. problem is i spend most of that walking to and from the school picking them up cos they go in to school in the morning at 9:00 , then zac comes out at 11:00 and luke comes out at 3:00 , allthough that doesnt look to bad .....but if you sit there and work it all out it turns out that i only have about 1 hour and fifteen mins at home...lol oh well mus'nt grumble cos its 1 hour and fifteen mins that i would'nt of got on my own if they wasnt at school!, ok that sounds confusing dosent it!
The weddings all over & done with now , thank god. theres a link for the piccies at the bottom of this post. But for gods sake egnore the one of me :)....thanks to my dearest mother *sigh*. Warning not for the faint of heart......im not paying compensation so if you have nightmares ...tough cos you've been warned lol
piccies are here..... http://www.pixel-palace.co.uk/vickyanddarrenswedding/

And this is what i'll be wearing.

well lol as you can see i took more piccies , im dead impressed with these. makes a first!

awww what a cute photo , cant even remember were i got it from, found it when i was trying to sort out my never never cupboard (as in never never go in there, cos you might get buried alive)
Phew. what a day today has been! ive been rushed of my feet trying to keep 5 kids amused while my mum and sister went for her last dress fitting and obviously to pick it up at the end of the appointment.so while they were of swanning around dartford having a bloody good time i was here pulling my hair out. im not joking....i think i see a bald spot. anyone got any brown nail varnish???...k thought not *shrug*
oooh you know it aint half quiet in here at the mo , kids are in bed and hubbys , erm actually i have no idea were hubbys is , but the point is its quiet!
i took some piccies of the tiara , earrings & necklace for vickys wedding , but the problem is, because she's wearing them in the pic i've been forbiden to share.
lukes just informed me that hubbys gone looking for my passport photo.....thanks krista LOL...bet ya £50 quid he wont find it!....wanna know how i know that?......cos its been in my pocket since he read the comment krista wrote (see im not silly really!) , so unless he pins me to the ground and threatens me with no money for new beads , he wont find out either.

you know i told you that i was messing around with the camera to get my own back on mike?......well hehe....this is the result.

talking of getting my own back lol mike (as pictured) decided to throw a strop because i asked him to stop playing on the xbox and instead hoover the living room , well he did do it untill i said "you missed a bit" (god i couldnt help it) he decided that trying to get his own back on me wouldnt be worth it cos he allways comes of worse so he kicked the hoover, but the only problem with this is the fact that he kicked it so hard the wheel fell off. i know it was proberbly one of those "got to be there" moments but trust me it was hilarious! so all in all ive had a rather pleasant day , shame mike cant say the same.....hehe oh that sounds evil doesnt it! but hey if you cant wind up your hubby once in a while life wouldnt be worth living. right id better shut up now cos im laughing so hard im going to wake the kids up.....wont be laughing then!

oh one more thing before i shush , i had to go and get my new trousers altered today , my aunt karen said she knows some one who will do it for me so i agreed and trundled off to have it done. when i get there and put the trousers on she looks at me and says "your gonna need about 6 inches of those" so my reply was "look i know im a short a*ss but thats a bit rediculas" so she looks at me again and says "good job im only joking then isnt it" my whole family burst out laughing and theres me standing there completly red faced and stunded......ever get the feeling the whole world's out to get you?.

I woke up to the sound of the hoover going this morning! awww i thought , bless mike he must be doing the housework for me before i got up. so i headed into the kitchen following the sound of the hoover and guess what mike was really doing?!.....he was hoovering the inside of his computer. grrr men! and guess who go to tidy up the mess he made.....yup, me.
he's for sale you know.......
but tis all ok cos i spent the morning winding him up with the camera when he was trying to get to sleep *evil laugh* hehe
Taking Krista's Advice i took the wedding wands out into the garden (if you can call it a garden! better words would be ,concrete jungle.) and re took the piccie. looks much better now , thank you Krista! :)

heres my first attempt at making Wedding Wands (made for my sisters wedding on easter sunday) my crappy picture really doesnt show them in the best light lol but hey i had a go at it...... if you can see through the darkness you'll see wire work butterflys , ribbon and silver cord. on the cord are stirling silver inital charms and swarovski crystals and pearls.I had to make five of these. took all day. and im now completley nackered. *yawn* My family work me to hard lol
