I HATE FRIDAY'S & SATURDAY'S

It's a really aweful sitution, when your in bed by 8.30 (ALONE) And you recieve a text message from your Bestmate saying " just round at Paul's (another friend), having a lovely curry and a few bottles of vino to wash it down with.. Oh and then at the end she said " wish you were here" - Judith Charmers style - Or like that Old Gezzer of Bulls eye... Well here's what you could have won.. But unfornately tonight, all you walking away with is your B.F.H ( your bus fare home).

I am going to make sure that.. Part time Daddy, Has his kids for the night soon - And I am going to have a well deserved night out - Dont know if I have any energy left after another week of Easter Holidays, though -.

They are driving me nuts, but then I miss them when there gone..Yeh right Em, Like a hole in the Head.

Kids Modelling..Good thing or Bad thing

by sameold @ 2008-03-28 – 14:39:17

Would you let your Children
model clothing, for a major high street supermarket ?

   When I was asked by a lady in the street..6 years ago now, if I would like my Son Callum to be signed to there Modelling agency books - I was like, yeh deffo ( I was a lot younger then, and I was really chuffed that they thought he was cute).
When I got home and told everyone what had happend, all's they could say was "oh it's just a scam..a way of making money out of me", maybe you do get companys as suggested, but I recieved around 60 pilot photo's of my Children.  Because Callum was doing it, I didn't want Abbie feeling left out.
So anyway I paid £40 for each Child, a one off payment.. 2 weeks later I had a call from the agency asking if I could take Callum up to Manchester , for a casting for Tesco. There was around 30 babies there, all fighting for a place in the cataloge  ( well..the pushy mum's wanted place's ). Callum was around 8 months at the time..Then a week later I got a call from Tesco saying that he and 5 other babies had got the job, so I had to travel to Manchester every day for 4 day's (Callum got £75 per hour and he had earned around £600 for 4 days work).
Then we got a call for Abbie to go for a casting (Also in Manchester) she was only 3 at the time, she never got it..But we had to tell her she had ! about a month later a copy of the cataloge from Tesco's arrived and Callum was on 5 different pages..oh poor Abbie..I told her that the Holiday brochure that she was in was for a company aboard, and that's why she didn't have one. I split Callums money between them both and the had £300 each in the bank...Then I stopped doing it because I didn't want them to end up jealous of each other, no money in the world could cover that..

So, I do agree with Child modelling - If you've only got the one..easy money saved up for the future. p.s The photo at the top is off my Callum, something to show his future girlsfriends..

BAD DAY TODAY...SAMEOLD

by sameold @ 2008-03-27 – 00:24:19

I am writing my blog in blue tonight, because that's how I am feeling..BLUE as can be !!
Moan, moan and even more moaning, I have caught Charlie's cold and feel rotten and down in the dumps, I am a big E-bay freak and I had to wrap all my parcels up today, ready for posting tommorrow which done my head in ! because Charlie never lets me do anything that I want or need to do he just wants to play all the time which is rather annoying when you have got stuff to do. He has Cbeebies on the television all day and if I change the channel he'll have a big tantrum, I know it's my own fault as I give into him all the time for a quite life - Things will get better hopefully when he starts pre-school in a couple of months - Even though my Ex hardly helped me with the Children anyway when he was here, I have got to admit I am finding it pretty hard being by myself..It's kind of hard at night times and weekends, but I did the right thing and it's just gonna take time.
Abbie went to her friends house for the day today and when she came home she had made me this.
A lovely decorated cake..bless her, she is so sweet and well behaved. ( Note to self : Just because u've learned how to upload photo's, it doesn't mean that you need to upload one every blog..Silly Woman.

A knock at the door nice surprise

by sameold @ 2008-03-25 – 14:45:20

My Mum has taken the older Children out today, so Charlie and I went food shopping brought lots of fish, as we really enjoyed our smoked haddock on Good Friday - I seem to have fads on fish rather a lot, then I wont eat it for months - Think it's since I found worms in the fresh cod I purchased from Morrisons once..Gross !

So anyway Charlie fell asleep in the car, which was handy as I had chance to unpack all the goodies - and also have a good tidy up, as I had left all the breakfast dishes and to be honest it looked like a bomb had gone off..Then there was a knock at the door and it was my Best Friend Ange, haven't seen her for a while and I was made up to see her but - she must have thought woah..what's happend in here, I said " oh the house is a bit messy " and she said " I have come to see you not the house ! Even so I did feel bad...But with the kids off school and me being on my own now, it really is quite difficult to keep on top of things. I really wish I could afford a cleaner.

Ange looked great and we had a good gab and it was so nice to see her, we are going to do a few things during the hols hopefully. Swimming on Friday - Note to self : Leg & bikini wax a must !!

LOOK AT THIS KIDS

HAPPY EASTER KIDS
This is what my Baby's will be waking up to in the morning, after the Easter Bunny has been in during the night, There are lots of chocolate eggs and teddy's and things. And I have also made them a Easter egg hunt, placed eggs with prize's and clue's inside them, dotted all over the house - its far to cold to do it outside this year -. I have made Bunny footprints on the floor out of flour and they look really good.

My Nine year old Daughter found out least year, that the bunny was actually me, but it's great because she still plays along with it for the sake of her little Brothers. Going to make a beautiful Sunday lunch with the trimmings and munch out on loads of chocolate all day.

HOPE ALL IN BLOG LAND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY-HAPPY EASTER TO ALL- X

Poor Charlie

by sameold @ 2008-03-17 – 18:19:19

My poor baby boy

Charlie barley is really, really poorly today ! He cant stop coughing and I really have tried everything to help him, gave him the usual paracetamol and nurofen but nothing is working..It sounds like croup it's breaking my heart listening to it, his throat is going to be really sore by the morning so I will take him to the doctors tomorrow or maybe upto our local G.P unit at the hospital tonight if he gets any worse..

How things can turn around in one week

Last Sunday was the worst day of my life, the night before i'd had an aweful row with my brother over something quite petty, which then eventually turned into the worst ordeal to date. And he has hurt me so bad this time with the things that he has said and done that I dont think I will ever be able to forgive him.

I was in pieces on the Sunday and I had to get the ( Part time Daddy on the scene, it was that bad ) to come and take the Children out. My father had just came out of hospital with heart failure and I was the one who was travelling up to see him every visiting time that was available...But where was he, far to busy to come up ( in the pub with his friends or just that he couldn't be bothered ) Anyway forget all that..Because I haven't heard from him since and after his vile texts, I am glad.

So Monday came and went in a daze and then on the tuesday I had a call from my Childrens school asking if I could possiably help out in D T, so I jumped at the chance and the next day I think changed my life. I was in my daughters class which is year 4 ( primary ) and I had to show them how to make musical instruments out of household rubbish which could be recycled and I had the most amazing day ever...Everyone thought I was pretty sad for that being the highlight of my week, But when I got home I had a phone call asking me if I could help out a few days a week, well I was overjoyed to say the least..At long last I'm no longer the little wifey at home, I am me again Emma and it feels great.

Egg Run...but not for us

by sameold @ 2008-03-16 – 09:01:59

Well today is the day of the yearly Easter Egg Run, Where bikers come from all over England to deliver Easter eggs to the two hospitals on the Wirral for the sick Children, which is a really great thing that they do. They leave from a place called New Brighton and travel through most of the towns in Wirral and there are hundreds of thousands of them, the Council have to close most of the main streets for around three hours as it takes that long and there are lots of different bikes, people dressed up as rabbits (grown men and women and kid's from all age ranges) and every one stands in crowds to watch and wave and cheer as they go by.

And usually I take the Children up to watch it, but I'm upset that this year we will have to give it a miss. As I have been up half the night looking after my little boy Charlie who's two, he is full of cold so there's no way I am taking him out in this aweful weather its bound to rain and plus I am so tired so have to give it a miss this year, I am at the Hospital on Monday anyway so I will drop three Easter eggs off there from my three Children and then at least we will feel part of it in a tiny way.

Anyway well done to all the people taking there time to do this, good luck with the ride and take care. I am sure all the Children are very grateful.
