My Nan, training and spots

Another busy week, after I wrote my post on Monday I received a call to say Missy had been dodge-balled and as a result needed to go to hospital to get her head checked out.  She was fine, PHEW!, she has a skull like a brick. Mr F did the emergency dash and I attended Little Miss-ette's open night at school, excellent report, she's a clever one! Eldest also did very well on her first Uni essay, Mama is very proud of them all!

Training went well, and carries on next week.  I learned Listerine is good for betting rid of spots (I am growing something revolting on my jaw) and 'alt +' makes the screen bigger. Specialist training indeed! (my trainer is a lovely young man, very patient and puts up with me very well, poor love)


My Maternal Nan
my Mum sent it down yesterday
I am thrilled
She was an amazing lady, laughed a lot, was hilarious, gave good advice, was tough and made the best coconut cake I have ever eaten.  I miss her.

She's hanging out with my girls
Wonky picture frames that contain a whole lot of love


This week I decided to document what I wore each day for training
'lets do this' face

Tuesday, feeling gothic


'OK, I'm done' face

Wednesday
Enthusiasm had left me, I'm wearing 'old faithful'

Thursday
I'd dyed my hair a normal colour
seeing as my hair won't do as it's told, I had an idea if I dyed it a regular colour it would rebel
and turn a funky colour
it didn't
I'm wearing 1 brooch
I operate on a brooch measure of happy
1 means a bit grumpy

I actually put a coat on, it's getting cold!
am linking in to the lovely Sacramento share-in-style http://www.mispapelicos.com/2013/11/share-in-style-plaid.html#.UoYKrMQvU8E


I don't know, I couldn't decide which one 
so I put both on
how vulgar and vain of me!!!!!!

the knitted collar is so warm
summer dresses with winter woollies and tights


I don't think I have ever posted so many pictures
My Nan used to say 'Do what makes you happy'
I sometimes do as I'm told

RUSS ABBOT 'ATMOSPHERE'
fecking awesome stuff

To Mr F, who I haven't seen much of this week
Kate Bush 'Wow'
I love this too


Have a wonderful weekend
stay warm if it's cold
or cool if it's hot
Stay Awesome though

  4. Russ and Kate? Now that's an unusual combination - not a duet I saw coming, that's for sure! Hahaha!
    You look gorgeous, Mrs, love the Fairisle over the summer frock with the cosy knitted collar, and the mustard capey-coaty with the tartan skirt. Lovely! And your hair looks beautiful - you always do!
    Hard heads and big brains, lovely Nan, and a wall of gorgeous girlies - couldn't be better!
    Well done for getting through the training so far. You'll be so clever by the time you've finished, you'll know EVERYTHING!
    Have a fab weekend, Sandra! xxxxxx

      oh what a duet! I would be gripped! I'm hoping to retain some knowledge, in the absence of that I have learned to sound like I know what I'm talking about! x x x

  8. I love your summer dress/winter woolly combination ... and your brooch/happiness ratio. I don't think I own ANY brooches (must check) ... which makes me very sad AND very, very grumpy.

  9. Glad your daughter is okay. I still don't understand why dodgeball is considered a school 'sport' in a lot of schools.

    Love your new hair colour- gorgeous shade of brown, and love all of the outfits. The mustard jacket is sooo gorgeous. And I love the two blue dresses, the fairisle jumper, and the collar. You look fabulous in everything! xx
