We have just found out that Holden number three is on the way!!!!

This is a most scarey as we were not expecting it!!

We will keep you posted

3 under 4's!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!

Faith is 3 a week today argh where has the time gone!

Four years!!

Yesterday was our fourth wedding anniversary. It somehow seems like we have been togeter longer, but some how like wow 4 years! So much has happened in four years! Four babies, seven deaths, house, mortgage, new experiences like putting up the monster of all tents!, camping as a famiy for the first time, and on wednesday I am going to Spain free with work can't wait 4 whole days away and lots of sleep!!! (it just me no kids!) So it'll be a big step for me first time away without me kids (as I write this Noah is hugging my arm!) Sob Sob.....
It is going to werid not haing them and waking up next to Jo Jo! Instead of getting a wake up cal at 5am from Noah or finding a little girl has snuck in, in the middle of the night and taken al of the middle of the bed up! (Jo and I are sharing, Paula is with the boss she will have to behave!).

I found out today I already have a Certifcate from my Open University course which is cool! and that I only have two years of my degree left I thought it was five!!!!!

We went out last night and when we came home I found that Claire, who was babysitting had done all my ironing!!! I was well chuffed, now I'm working I don't get time to do much around the house, Stu and I both chip in but it still mounts up. I even have the kids helping, never to young to tidy toys away!

Well thats enough boring stuff when I finally get round to putting my holiday photo's on the computer I will add some to this post! Camping was so much fun I forgotten how good it was! These are quiet random thoughts!



Chill out Noah

The most beauitful little girl in the world

Fun at Nanny's

The monster tent part one

The monster tent part two

DA DA DA DA DAH!!! 100 POSTS!

For my hundreth post I wish I had something wonderful to tell everyone but I really don't except I'm going to Spain FOC with work! Am looking forward to Aliante and no kids for fours days! I will post holiday pictures!

Also I'm going on holiday for two weeks at the end of this week can't wait haven't been on holiday since my honeymoon nearly four years ago!

I thought I'd include a little picture of my children!

One more to go....

One more post till the big 100, but for now you will have to listen to the rants of this century of posts.

No names here but they know who they are...

I have one friend who is being a spanner! I feel this friend needs to be more serious about things and silly people who are messing them about. I worry a lot about this person. I wuv them x.

I have another friend who I don't see any more why is this?? what has happened??? I miss you.

I have another friend, who was my bestest friend where did they go? it seems like a they are a different person now and I hardly know them anymore, yet I see this person everyday, this person used to be fun and want to do things together, now they don't. I'm sad come back friend, I miss you!

I feel that Lorna is back now!! I need all my minions to come back and worship me like they once did!

Come home little ones come home your master has returned!

Head still may explode!

My head is in no better state than my last writing!

but I have found this (nicked it off Paula!) to help me along!

My bestest friend Paula was recently a patient of the great University Hospital of Hartlepool aka the dump!

She was nearly dead!!!!!

She had no immune system, due to the drugs she takes for her arthritis, so she was quite ill although if you ask her she'll say "I'm fine".

I am glad she is out of hospital now! Even though she is complaining that my gifts weren't as good as Charlie's! and that she didn't even love me enough to keep my get well card!!! She's not getting that Puppy now!!!!!

Anyway enough boringness I am nearly at my 100 post which means I have way too much free time (yeah Right) or that I talk so much rubbish!!! (which is more likely!)

toodles

Head may explode at any moment!

Ever get the feeling that your head may explode at any moment? you know the one where you have 50 million things to do and you forget your own name, let alone remembering to pick your kids up from the child minder, rememeber to post your speeding fine etc

I finished my uni assignment at like 11:30 the day before it was due in and havent done my DHC homework for like a month!

I need a new head!

a new body!

and a new stress free life!

anyone now where they are let me and possibly Paula know where they are!!!!!!!!

Also and finally....

I had chips and gravy for tea tonight!!! and on friday as it was good friday and oxford rd was sold out of chips!!!! I had to make my own!!! mmmmmmmmm chips and gravy............

my babies!

Saw this and thought of you.....

You might be best friends one year, Pretty good friends the next year, Don't talk that often the next year, And don't want to talk at all the year after that. So, I just wanted to say, You are special to me and you have made a difference in my life, I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all your friends, No matter how often you talk , Or how close you are, And send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, And tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend, Someday you might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all, Just remember this text and take comfort in knowing Somebody out there cares about you....

CHIPS, GRAVY AND WENTWORTH!!!

Since moving to the north east I have discovered the joy of chips and gravy!!! and now I'm obsessed!!!!

I cant think of anything better than Wentworth Miller covered in chips and gravy!!!!!! mmmmm chips and gravy mmmmm Wentworth

He stars in Prison Break which is so FAB!!! and also I have discovered via your tube he's in Mariah Carey's "we belong together video". Which I'm sorry to inform her but he belongs to me!!!

Me and Jo Jo think he's worth doing!!! I know I shouldnt say that as a married woman but HE'S SO YUMMY!!!! Sorry Stu xxx

Mum in a million / Special people in my life

My Mum is like the best Mum in the world! I know that most people think that but my Mum really is. Throughout all the things she has been through she is still going strong.

I never want to be where she is today.... Motherless as I really don't think I could ever cope without her. I know I moved away to start a life up here, that was more through lack of choice down south and because I was in love. I know I chose to stay after things went bad, I had made good friends.

I think that's when I first suffered with depression.

Sat in that flat by myself day after day, with no money to go anywhere or do anything except pay the rent. I had no sofa to sit on for a while so I just got use to sitting in my bedroom, watching telly ALL DAY. Sad and upset that the person I had been with didn't want me anymore and that I couldn't believe it was over. Looking back now maybe I was a bit full on with him but I never meant to drive him away with my future planing as us women do, anyway, that's the past now!

But through it all was one really special person my Mum! I later had friends like Paula, Mike and Stuart to help me, but my Mum she was a real star. I rang her everyday and she told me it will be ok.

Then when my Grandma died and I was alone up here grieving she was at the end of a phone.

ENTER Paula with sweets, ice cream and wine yes sweetheart I haven't forgotten you! Neither has the guy at the checkouts!!

Again when my Dad killed himself she helped me talk things through even though she was struggling to cope with it herself.

Enter Stuart with his 1am wake up calls with sobbing Lorna. I love you, you know I know I don't say it as much as I should but I do. You are there for me even though you are crap at housework and make me feel crap sometimes, those bad times we have are forgotten when I remember all the things you do for me, all the hugs and kisses when I need them, and the times you are just you.

When my Nan died it was my turn to help my Mum, except when I was in A&E with Gallstone pain on the day of her funeral, I needed her to mind Faith.

She was there when Faith was born, mopping my brow, telling me to push!!!

She has always been there, working 6 jobs at a time 7 days a week to provide for us kids, standing by my brother when he was in prison, helping out my other brother when he screwed up and needed her. She's always put us first, she's always done her best for us, even now we are all grown up and married and have kids of our own....nearly Chris not long now yeah I'm so excited! She still helps us is therefore us.

And then last year when my Grandad died she forgave me after all the things I said and the way I acted. When I just couldn't cope with my family dying anymore and lost the plot completely.

So that's why I say she is the best Mum in the world cause she is!

I HATE WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so fed up with work! I love the girls I work with its just my boss except me to do 50,000.000 hours work in 25 hours a week! She made me write a to do list yesterday it was like 50 pages long!!! I'm only meant to be PART time!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHH I'm gonna have to quit, I don't see my kids hardly and have got them with a childminder something I said I'd never do!!!

But I don't wanna quit!!!! I like work just not the stress!!! Guess thats everyone!!!


Anyway its just a stop gap until our business takes off! Can't wait to be my own boss! YEAH!

Going now to look for premises

That was better!

Friday night had a hot date! No details in case my kids ever read this and are traumatised for life! However Faith learnt some new phases!!!!

Note to self ALWAYS make sure my kids are sleep before partaking in after dark pleasures! or learning to keep ones mouth shut!

WELL THAT SUCKED!!

Yesterday I was 28! I feel so old!

My birthday didn't start with breakfast in bed or even a lay in, I had no presents to open, no flowers, no special treats, no balloons, and no cake!

I had to buy my own cake and light my own candles and even start the singing of happy birthday!

But it was OK I had had my presents from the girls at work last week as we all went out and danced ourselves stupid except Paula the lightweight!!!

I wasn't expecting much but a lie in would have been nice.

Anyway went to get new lenses for my eyes, wondered around town and got some new underwear for my date that night!!!!

Got home after popping into work to say hi, (got nagged to go out drinking after my date) found my house was clean yeah, went to seaton with the kids and watched the sea which was nice.....then my date cancelled he was ill!!

Oh what now I thought its my birthday surely he can make the effort for day of the year!!!!??? sadly no!!! To ill to come out for dinner with his wife but can eat half a bar of MY BIRTHDAY CHOCOLATE!!!!!!

Why does he not learn it was the same last year and the year before that I ALWAYS make an effort to celebrate his birthday and make him feel special!!! WHY, WHY can't he just for once do it for me its only one day!!!

Anyway I went out to dinner and had fun!!!!!

This probably isn't a helpful to my marriage post, but you know when you just need to rant and no ones listening!!!

laters

MY LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!

Finally we have got our grant money from the university so we can buy laptops! Stuart got his on friday and I'm waiting til my better version is in stock!!!!(stu couldnt wait!....for once I can its amazing.....who the hell am I and what have I done with lorna????)

anyway..... 15 more posts til I reach 100! I am not as bored as Paula she reache da 100 posts ages ago!

here are pictures of Noah's 1st bday as promised!

1st picture.. I like the look of that...2nd picture ohhh flames...3rd one where's the rum I mean cake gone....(Johney Depp style)

My baby's 1 and walking!

I haven't blogged for so long due to the vast amounts of working I have been doing, not only am I at college doing a DHC, I have just started my 3rd year of my uni degree ...which is hard work 8 assignments in 8 months! (last year I had 4 in the same time scale)...anyway as I was saying I am also working two jobs doing accounts something I never done before and am learning new skills all the time as well as the stress of getting yelled at by Paula who is my boss! Its very strange having your best friend as your boss!!!. Some times its cool as I get special treats other times it sucks cause she gives me crap jobs to do, but hey I signed up for this so I should stop moaning and be grateful I have a job!

By the way......

My baby is 1 and walking......

We had his first birthday on 11 Feb 07! and he started walking two days before hand!!! Now all I can sing is "aint no stopping him now...he's on the move" Sad I know but!!! he's my Boyz.

Well today being Valentines day is cool be married don't have to worry about not getting a card etc... I got a badge that I'm being forced to wear!!! Its says world's greatest lover on it!!! I feel slightly big headed!!

Also you can so tell I'm married I'm spending valentines with Paula at college....People really are gonna start to talk about us! We spend vast amounts of time together!!! The lasses at college are already thinking we are gay!!!

However it looks like Paula's fairy tale of being rescued from the parallel dimension world, by "the Handsome Man" is coming true bitach!!!!


will post pic's when I am at home!!!

OHHHHH THE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realy think Michelle is a genius! She has created a way for us all to remain lard arses for the rest of lives but remain truly happy!!!

Its the gift of the Chocolate Fountain, Oh heaven in a fountain!

I must get pictures!!!!!

Although after reading the instructions this morning putting your tongue in it and licking the flow is not how your meant to get the chocolate in your mouth, although me and Charlie had great fun doing it!!!

ALSO have discovered that you can pretty much coat anything and everything in chocolate inc creme eggs, marshmellows and crosants being my fav. But your finger is also good as is charlies lips, chest and my tongue!!!! all good ways to ingest chocolate!!!

MMMMMM will dream of your oh fountain of heaven til we met again!!!

bye for now I will miss you dear fountain of joy!!

DATE MY MATE

Recently signed my very single friend up to a date my mate website as a bit of a laugh! She has had like a million replies even some from married men!!!! I mean some people!!!!!

On a more possitive note I had a great day with my mate Charlie yday. If she were a guy and I was single I'd marry her she helped me so much yday.

Also I am now part of the plotting for Charlies bday which is fun to be on this side for a change!!!!

I MADE HIM BALD!!!!!!!!

Well in the interests of saving a penny or two my friend Claire suggested I cut my own children's hair! Faith's is fine just trimmed some off the bottom. But poor Noah is BALD!!!!!!!!!

I started trimming as you do then it looked funny.... so I trimmed a bit more.... then a bit more.... and so on til, I had to get the clippers and shave it all off on a number 2!!! He looks like a convict!!! Poor little sausage. Claire thought it was very funny!

So here are the before and after pictures Noah seems unimpressed!

Before


After

7 lbs gone 60 million to go!!!!!!!

Why is it that every new year people start out with all these good intentions and plans to be fitter, silmmer, stop drinking/smoking etc but by Feb they have all gone tits up!!???

I myself am currently part of this trend, still trying to lose those baby pounds I put on when Pregnant problem is this time next month Noah will be 1!!! I will have no excuses then! Ok so between now and Feb must lose 12 stone! Well 2 would be nice.

Me and Paula minus Charlie (stupid family plans double booker you!) went for our wraps the other day being bandaged from head to foot in wrap was fun! Although you were unable to move!

I lost 10& 1/2 inches in 2 hours not bad!!!!

Why Paula needed to go I'll never know, stupid 8 stone sticklike person!

Oh and ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Paula you broke your blog ha ha ha ha ha ha its because you put horrid videos of me on there and on you tube!!! ha ha ha ha ha

PHOTO'S

Why do my friends hate me!???!!!

Why are my "friends" on a mission to undone the great work they did over Christmas. They spent the whole of 22nd Dec trying to convince me I was me again and I was worth something other than just a mother, wife and cleaner.

Yet they have made me feel horrid again!

I have always been concious of my weight, and even more so since having the children. I don't have time to make myself look as presentable as I would like to look, my nice clothes are just a tad too tight so I wear big baggy clothes!

I hate pictures of me at the moment!

But my friends put horrid video's and pictures of me on their blogs.... ok Charlie yours isnt that bad! But I hate that video Paula I don't think its funny and I feel ashamed of it!

Also it was filmed at a time when I was drinking way too much and feeling depressed which you guys helped me out of that friday. But now I feel like I've moved back to square 1!

You hurt me!

I don't like that but its happened twicw now.

You two together, are mean to me!

STUPID BROKEN PHONE!!! IN NO WAY MY FAULT ok maybe slightly my fault!

After such a great Christmas New Year sucked!!!!!

First thing to go wrong was I broke my phone!!!!!! Wont tell you how...it by no means involved me lightly throwing it at the high chair, after it charge £1.00 to send a sodding text it didn't then send!!!!!

Second thing to go wrong was merrily watching telly waiting for Torchwood to come on when bang! The telly blew up....smoke everywhere!!!!!!!!!! (On the plus we now have an excuse for new flat screen HD ready telly he he!)

Third thing happened today!!! I broke my computer at work!!!!!!!!!!! So I threw a spaz and yelled at Paula to fix it!!!! In the end I pulled the plug out stupid thing!!!

So I am now awaiting the quote for the repair on my phone as the stupid insurance ran out on 30/12/06!!!!!!!!!!!! typical couldn't have broken it two days eariler could I NO!!

Will post Christmas photos now!

Princess for a day

Friday 22nd December I was a princess for a day!


I bitched and moaned at Paula all week as I did not want to go "shopping" on the last Friday before Christmas. Words to the effect of "stupid muppet why wait so long????" and "My only day off and she wants to go bloody shopping"!!! Etc etc

Well first of all it was cold and we sat in the train stop cafe drinking tea waiting for Charlie. Then when she arrived we went for breakfast at the square kitchen cafe.

Then me and Charlie had 10:00 snack, (Paula didnt want cake shes too thin for cake!!) after which we brought me some new shoes!

Then we went to "change Paula's spa appointment" 3 glorious hours later I was facialed, nailed, and haircutted.

Then I get home and my houser has been cleaned by people!!

THEN my Husband talks me out for dinner.

I have the best friends!!!


Christmas dinner

well it was fab I didnt cook it this year miss Bell did!! It was so yummy my tummy hurt but I kept eating!!! Noah's first christmas, we had way to many toys but it was great.

Also the spiders are back!!!

Was merrily sitting in my business class on Tuesday night when I heard a scream from our Tutor. Then Paula who was sitting next to me lepted up from her chair with a scream and pointed above my head.......
Well it was like a scene from aracniphobia..... This spider (huge) was hurling itself down from the ceiling towards my head!!!!!!!!!! I rang a hid behind my tutor, Paula and the rest of the girls til one brave lass got up and squished it.

See so they are coming back for us they haven't forgotten beware!!!!

Sunshine on a rainy day.....

Got a letter from James Bond the other day (Sir Roger Moore) it was a thank me for all my support to Unicef this year.
I had been having a bad week (as you may guess from my previous post) and this letter which was really a plea for more money, so moved me with all the little children suffering and not having clean water to drink, let alone Santa coming with presents.
They are fighting for life everyday and all the thing we take for granted are pure luxury for them.

Really I am so blessed.

I'm not belittling my previous post those feeling are real and painful, I have a problem, and need a positive way to deal with all my grief. This letter made me think I'm not the only one suffering. I have friends suffering from depression and stress. So I'm not alone like those people dying from disease that cost as little as 2.5p to prevent!

Have been listerning to Westlife lately don't know why, only one song.... Flying without wings... it makes me think that I have such beautiful children and I'm not alone. I am married. I have a husband how ever crap he is at times, he loves me and supports me and puts up with all my crap, grief and hormones. I love him. And whats wrong with being Shrek and Princess Fiona! Still a princess!

Princess....

No this is not a post about Bob....

According to the book I'm reading, given to me by my wonderful friend Charlie I'm a Princess!!! It's not one of those books about men and women's power struggles etc and stealing their 'wind'.

It's meant to describe the search for a woman inner soul, and how it can get lost along the way, in amongst the busyness of life, children, work and husbands.

At first I thought nothing of it but the more I've read the more I think yeah that's how I feel....

I remember dressing up as Cinderella and pretending I was beautiful. I admire characters like Maria in the Sound of Music so plain, and in no way a match for the Countess looks wise yet she has a rare and beautiful depth of spirit. It is this spirit that captivates the Captain.

I want that meek, calm, innocent spirit. I know a lady who has such a spirit I think she's the most beautiful person I've ever meet. I strive to be like her she is a wonderful mother, a loving wife and a great friend. She always seems to make time for people even though she is sooo busy (as she has four kids!) herself. She always tries to be helpful and puts herself out for others. I long to be like that.

I wish all these terrible things hadn't happened in my life, losing so many people I love, I wish things were not so hard at home and that my children were less demanding. I wish so hard for my happy ever after, my life is not how I imagined it would be. I thought once I got the husband and the children that was it fairy tale complete. Disney/Hollywood never shows you the life after happily ever after. Pretty woman doesn't end with Julia shouting at Richard for leaving things on the stairs causing their child to fall down them.
In Last of the Mohicans Nathan says "No matter how long it takes, no matter how far - I will find you" not " What for dinner love?? I'm starving!".
The Beast doesn't stay a Beast he becomes a handsome prince.
Sleeping Beauty wakes up, Snow White comes back to life, the frog becomes a prince all from one kiss. (I wanna be kissed like that again!)

I have another friend who is so beautiful and has (without sounding gay) a body I would kill for (maybe slightly bigger chest :-)) but still she gorgeous. I would love to be her right now, freedom, and no responsibilities.
I love my family and wouldn't change them but they never tell you in fairy tales about stretch marks and other unpleasant side effects of pregnancy, like gall stones.
The wonderful awe of a newborn baby, then reality kicks in after 10 months sleep deprivation. I mean how do cleb mums do it... oh look I've popped out this baby, I'm a size 8 again, my hair is perfect, make up on and not a stretch mark in site! I love Britney, she looked so dog rough after her kids and she wasn't ashamed, cause you know what she human too!

My other best friend is so beautiful too, she is so kind and caring again she puts herself out for others and always is available to talk and cook!

Maybe I should stop whining!? Maybe I should just get on with it!? but part of me is so unhappy right now that its killing me. A piece at a time I feel I'm (Me/Lorna) is dying, and that I am becoming a whole other person. Someone I don't want to be, someone who wakes up in 20 years time and says hey I'm nearly 50! My kids have left home, what else is in my life to do now except wait to die!
I don't care what people who read this think, this is me, no lies, no fronts, this is how I feel and its my blog! I can write what I like, don't like it, don't read it, wanna laugh go ahead I guarantee that even if your a millionaire and have all you want in life bet you still feel something is missing!

I can't be bothered with Christmas this year, I'm pretending to be happy so my kids don't suffer and my friend's don't think anything is wrong. Why should I keep Christmas alive in my family!? I loved it as a kid, but my Nan isn't here taking with her, her phone calls saying "Santa's on his way time for bed!" and Grandad's gone too taking with him his Rum butter and home made pud's, My Dad wont be there to make me laugh and tell the stupid jokes that everyone's heard but still laughs at. No more under cooked turkey from my Grandma, or burnt puddings from Nan.
This year even my Mum will be in another country, sun at Christmas is all wrong.

When did growing up get so hard....Oops I'm nearly 30 surely I should behave like an adult, think like an adult, live like one.... What happened to that little girl so full of happiness, life and fun, where is she???

Happy ever after, yeah right!

Ok stop giving me work then!

Ok am now a worker/mum/cleaner/housewife/student/going round the bend pesron.
On the plus ITS CHRISTMAS SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've made my cake months ago its tastes nice so far I marizpaned it last night
two weeks time I will ice it! Then eat it! if stu doesnt first!

Anyway gotta go got so much HOMEWORK! to do shouldn't be blogging but PAULA keeps on!!!! She like my boss!!!! he he I tell her what to do most the time bossy cow that I am!!!

Soooo stolen but adapted

This sums up my typical day sorry to steal it and adapt it slightly Charlie xxx Paula you've read it although its slight adapted and Stu take note he he x

Joke
What Do You Do All Day?
Stu came home from work and found his children outside, still in their pjs, playing in the mud, with empty mac donalds boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front garden.
The door of their car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.

Proceeding into the house , he found an even bigger mess. The bin had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring Lazytown, and was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the worktops awaiting the dishwasher, breakfast food was spilled on the floor, the cupboard doors wide open, bowls and baby bottles on the floor, the fridge door was open wide with dinosaur ham and yogurt's everywhere, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken cup lay under the little blue kids table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
Stu quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over more toys and more piles of clothes, and books he had left there, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that she'd had enough and finally left or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap, more toys strewn over the floor and apple shampoo all over the floor.
Miles of toilet paper lay in the toilet and overspilt to the potty and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. There was toothbrushes in the sink with toothpaste spit everywhere!
As he rushed to his bedroom, on his way he caught site of his daughter bedroom, strewn with yet more toys, paint of various colours on the doors, doorframes and walls and enough soft toys to fill Africa!

He found his wife still curled up in the bed (I WISH!) in her pjs, reading the latest ELC catalogue. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

P.S. the diet going great today it the new "eat lots of quality streets, that were also meant for Christmas diet" also had 2 mince pies and full fat Dr Pepper. Yeah "lards are us" I be their newest member! Well it is the 1st only 24 days til they'll be able to hear me in Oz! Shrieking at the amount of presents..that I know nothing about...has left.

More more more....

Some great questions for those who are like me addicted to all the bad things in life....

1. Why is it you can never eat 1 pringle or 1 jaffa cake you always finish the tube/packet?
2. How come peanuts are so addictive, I'm mean they don't even taste that good?
3. Why does diet stuff NEVER taste as good as the real thing?
4. And why is it once you open a tin of Roses (meant for Christmas) that you can't stop eating them??????!!!!!

I'm sure Cadburys are conspiring an evil plot to make me eat more of their products, after all I am their best customer!!! I can't help it.... some people do drink, some do drugs, I do CHOCOLATE! If I didn't love it so I would be like a size 8 or something!

Oh to be like Paula who hates it.... maybe I should go and be hypnotised it to hating it!

Or just wait til I've won the lottery so I can have liposuction.....that make be some time as I don't play it....

Oh well diet starts again tomorrow......

My little loved up baby!!!

All say ahhhhh my little baby Paula bear is loved up! and she has good reason...
She has met the fabest man ever. Its like her male equivalent, he's just like her, mad, insane and completely funny although not good at telling jokes!!!! he he.

Guess I'm gonna have to start sharing her again now!!!!! Oh well at least she's all mine tues and weds for the next 5 weeks yeah! And I get her Christmas day which I can't wait for me and Paula trying to cook Christmas dinner for my family and hers after a few drinks...... burnt stuffing anyone????

Sorry Paula guess I lost my challenge before I'd even read it.

off to mac d's to get sick Paula more milkshake x

Still broody!!!!

I'm still so broody!!!

But Holden number 3 (if there is going to be one) will have to wait!

I am in the middle of redecorating downstairs, we have the new windows, new floors and doors, just the plastering and paint work to do now. I may have a go at plastering myself I mean I do everything else in this house apart from electrics...wonder if the FE does a course on them....Not only do I get job satisfaction from doing it myself its a whole ton cheaper! My friend spent £5,500 on her kitchen, with builders, electritians, etc... We spent just over £1,000 and its the same morden standard! I mean what could you do with the extra £4,500!!!??? mmm big telly..... window's upstairs......new car......Trip to ELC.....

I'm back don't worry but I'm going now...

IS IT TOO EARLY FOR DEC'S?

With 6 weeks to go I feel its too early for decoration's but I'm dying to put them up!!!

Can't wait to see Faith's face when she see the contents of the early learning centre in our living room!!! (which has new wood lament....laid by yours truly... I'm well impressed with myself never done it before!)

OOOOHHH and it'll be Noah first christmas!!!!!!!!

Have got him a well cute stocking!! Now we all have one, the four of us, ready for Santa!

AND OOOOOHHHH I'M NOT PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! A CHRISTMAS WHEN I'M NOT THROWING UP AS I COOK THE DINNER!!!!

although still can't drink......bloody tablets!!!!!!!!!!!

Roll on Christmas......

Keeping the ELC in business!

Lately I've been keeping the ELC in business! but I have now finished my christmas shopping it is all wrapped and put away for another day!
Have done all my cards, addressed and stamped them.....
now all i have to do is wait about 7 weeks!!!!

I started shopping as a distraction from all that was going on and then before I knew it my list was complete and presents were wrapped!

Also two very stupid companies have agreed to give me a credit card!! good job I've finished christmas shopping.....

mmm Noah's birthday is in 3 mns!!!! could start now!!!

or could shop for our business....
Sgopping helps me cope but I am becoming very aware that money doesn't grow on trees (wish it did!) and that it you spend it... it disappears! oh well better put some in my isa before paula lectures me..

THE BANK PAID UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS AWAITS US THE BANK PAID ALLLLLLLLLLL OUR CHARGES BACK!!!!!

ELC HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got Faith a Dora van (Paula you may never want to enter my house again!) she loves it, hasn't stopped playing with it allllllll day!

The most satistfing thing is that we screwed the bank over!!!!!!! They had no choice but to pay up!! and we got extra interest!!!!!

I know they say money doesn't buy you happiness but it sure helps when you are not used to have more than 2 figures in your account!!


Anyway off to Teeside park....

A 3rd???

The theory seems to go that when someone in my family dies I am pregnant, or have just had a baby. So what to do?
I love my little 2.4 family, but is it enough???
I'm just starting to get myself back, starting a business and have most nights a good nights sleep!
I have been thinking that maybe we should foster or adopt later on in life?
There are so many, too many, children from broken homes, who've lost parents or who have been abused. I see kids in our street being hit and mistreated, still awake running round the grove at 2am no shoes, in just a vest! I just wanna hug them all and bring them into look after them.
I heard a story about one of the lasses who's little girl, crawls around the floor amongst the needles and empty vodka bottles! I wish I could save all children from this sort of life!
I hear stories of children suffering in developing countries from AIDS, and diseases that we can vaccinate against in this country! Who gave the west the right to all the money and health care! Its appalling that think its our God given right to be healthy!


Parenthood is such am awesome responsibility no one should enter it lightly..... I'll keep you posted on the possibility of Holden number three????

P.S Paula don't kill me for being broody I'm sure it'll pass!

WHY DO THEY KEEP DYING?

Why is it that everyone I love keeps dying? I know its the way of the world but I've had 7 deaths in 5 years, in which I've lost nearly all of my Grandparents, two children and my Dad!

Really everytime one of them dies part of me dies too...... soon there will be nothing left of Lorna and I'll just be this robot that does everything on autopilot. What kind of life is that???

My children need me to be strong and carry on, but there's only so much hurt and pain one human being can take surely.....

I thought I had good friends to help me through it, but it turns out different. Friend don't lie to friends, espically if the only reason is to escape a carrying lecture!

Forgive me for caring I want anymore........


I bitch and moan about my husband all the time but he's the one person who doesn't lie to me and helps me in his own stupid way.

Thats it....

I love my mummy!

This post is for my fab Mother! I love my Mum to bits and only hope that one day I can be as good a Mum as she is!
Mother's are wonderful people we should never take for granted as one day they wont be here. Everyone reading this should go give your Mum a hug, a text or a call. For those who have lost their Mum's I don't know how you have the strengh to get up each day! I'd be nothing without mine.
My Mum lost her Mum nearly two years ago and I amire her everyday for the strenght to go on. I am terrified of the day when I can't pick up the phone and call her, when I'll drive 210 miles and won't see her smile waiting for me when I get there.

Mum if your reading I love you x

Oh and Nanny the kids love you too x

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WOMAN

WANTED




HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WOMAN?
IF SO PLEASE INFORM THE POLICE STRAIGHT AWAY!
HER CRIME THROWING MY DAUGHTER ONTO HER FACE!

Faith only two years old, sustained a broken nose after being thrown from a significant height, face first down on the ground. The 25 soon to be 26 year old from Watford, viciously attacked two year old, Faith Holden, whilst she was playing a harmless game of wrestling with her mother and younger brother Noah. Faith's mother and Father have played this game many times before and never once did Faith receive any injuries from it!

So if anyone has any information leading to the whereabouts of this cruel villain, a reward will be offered.

more boring photo's just to annoy Paula!

Do you remember the good old days when you could sing along to tunes in your car really loud??? I can't wait til tonight as that is what paula and I plan to do!! Sing Belinda Carlisle at the top of our heads on the way out! No more nursery rhymes for me proper music.

Can't wait til the weekend....fancy dress party here we come!!!

We went to the park the other day hence the photo I love ward Jackson its so much nicer than Rossemere, then thats not hard!


oh well best go and get ready for our night of learning fun! KFC tonight yeah BABY!!!!!

ALSO..........

I have put my daughter in a bed now! spent an hour and a half last night putting her back to bed! and this morning can't get her out of it! Also woke up to find Stu gone and a little girl stroking my face soooooo cute!!

oh and Noah can now climb stairs!! He's a monster!!!

I'M IN LOVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

I have the the best shop in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have made a list of stuff I want to buy from it it amounts to £787.00!!!!!!!!!

I may not be allowed to spent that much although £356.00 of it is for our new business....still don't think paula will let me have access to company credit cards!!! may have to drug her!!!

And Noah gets extra cause its his birthday soon.......still not sure Stu will allow me to spend that much may have to use my femanine charms.....


In case your wondering which I'm sure your not its the ELC!!!!!

oh hang on I can hear Angel being played downstairs on DVD player possible not the best thing in the world to let my children watch BRB!

Kids free to a good home!

.....or a bad one, just take them off my hands, has been my sign in name lately on MSN! Why is it that when your kids are asleep you can't wait to wake them up and cuddle them, but when you are trying to unload the dishwasher, load the washing machine, or make the tea, then them crying for your attention isn't so appealing!

Oh well. I love my kids and I would NEVER willing part with them..... its just sometimes THEY DRIVE ME MAD!!!! (the post below only show their good sides!)

Anyway Faith's new favourite DVD is the MAGIC ROUNDABOUT! At first I loved it esp Dillon the spaced out Rabbit! but after watching it twenty times a day its beginning to annoy me. I find myself singing along to the songs in the bath or whilst hanging the washing out! I can't remember the last time I sang music that wasn't child related!
Its infectious to as Paula is singing LazyTown now!
Or that could also be to due to the vast amounts of time she spends here! I really should hurry up with that loft conversion and put a bed up there for her it would save her a ton of petrol!

My Bomber and My Diddle

This is the cheeky Bomber! He is so called as this is his wrestling move... he bombs....from the top rope (the top of our four poster)

Oh Oh he has also just learnt to say MUM!!!! I won again!! Faith's first word was mum too! Oh Oh and he's learnt to climb stairs!!!! My life is over!!!....must remember to shut stair gates at all times now!





Now for my Diddle she does the diddle splash also from the top rope! only she's not allowed to splash Bomber yet.....or not meant too!

















Oh and this is my favourite at the moment

















My babies are the most special most wonderful thing in the whole world to me I LOVE THEM THEY KEEP ME GOING!

LOOPEY LORNA HAS RETURNED!

When I was a young girl at college, carefree and loving life, I was given the nickname loopey Lorna, it kinda stuck. Since then I have been given various other nicknames, the host, sexylady, bunny boiler, and my favorite one being Monica. (from friends).
But recently my head has been all messed up on account of my med's. Apparently the worst thing you can do is quit them cold turkey....mmm...silly me....not done on purpose. I felt better and didn't have time to go to the doctors, what with having two demanding kids, and so forgot to go get some more.
Wont be doing that again!!!!.

Maybe loopey lorna wasn't descriptive enough psyco Lorna may be more appropriate!

Anyway am being nagged at to use correct grammar etc.... and that someone wants to use my computer to read her comments, so am going.

Lorna's Ark...

What do you think???? it's one of the ideas for our new business name, we also considered, tiny tots but thats taken. LP's, Just like home, Porna's (paula's idea), don't come here we might kill your kids.... and various others.

WOW! setting up your own business is hard work, cant wait thought. I'm quite looking forward to me and P working together. She'll do all the boring stuff like adim and I'll look after the kids -the fun bit!(she sayit was the other way round)

Anyway must go email Miss Bell a list of things she needs to do like contracts, etc

Charlie if this gets really successful and we turn it into a nursery will you be our cook??

Yoghurt freak

My two old daughter has taken to living off of yoghurts! If I say no she goes and helps herself to them out of the fridge (knew I shouldn't have taught her to open fridge!).
I then find yoghurt all over my carpet, which I've just cleaned! Oh well best get used to the mess as I am training to be a childminder, so will have loads of mess when I get new kids.

Paula is my bussiness partner but I'm not sure how she will handle the kids. The barclays job maybe the better option. Although having said that she is GREAT with my kids....I have even entrusted her as emergancy contact at Faith's nursery, incase they can't get hold of me or Stuart...Hopefully she will have checked her phone telling her this before she reads it online.

Oh well off to prize a yoghurt out of my daughters hand.....

Best game in the world!

Who would have thought, that when I moaned at Stu for buying yet another playstation game! It would have turned out to be soooo much fun. Last night two girls in much need of some therapy took up the controllers and beat each other to death...(in the game...twas more fun than actually beating each other to death!). Although me thinks that Paula kept cheating because she was losing.... I had to take my controller to the loo with me so she didn't beat me! She also reset the game when I was winning!
Feel ashamed that Kelly had to come round to find out what all the shouting was about...
I feel Paula and I are very much the same, we don't like losing, and we get loud and shout at the telly when we do!
Much fun was had last night til I spent 45 mins being sick! That was not nice! Although may help with the weight loss!

Anyway we had a great holiday and stayed in a gorgeous B&B the cooked breakfasts where amazing mmmm could do with one right now!
We also discovered the wonder that is Mac Donalds breakfast bagels ooohhh so tasty again could do with one now...
Well time to go wash the sick out of my hair

What was I thinking....vodka and malibu don't mix!

No excuses..... but I was sad and upset with my friend who needed comforting.

Still no excuse as I'm a mother now and have responsibilities, this may be a time to do some sole searching and reflection.

For those I have shocked I am sorry, I'm human and I make mistakes.

RECLAIM RECLAIM!

Every body needs to go to the consumer action group to reclaim their unfair bank charges! Go Go now!

New Phone is better than camera!

Stu's new phone takes better pictures than our digital! So I will bore you with more annoying photos! This picture isn't as clear as the rest but its my favorite!
We have also just purchased a wonderful camcorder which you film straight on to dvd its great!

Oh I'm worse than Bob for little gaggits at the moment!

Short and sweet today as I am about to go downstairs and play our new wrestling game on the PS2 with Stu and hand him his butt! Cause I'm soooo much better at it than he is! (probably coz I cheat by using my feminine ways but still!)

This time next week holiday at the MAD MANS HOUSE!!!!!!

Yes this time next week I will be on holiday! Can't wait! (Although will miss my dishwasher sob sob... I love it must have been a woman who invented it....anyone got any pots they want doing???) Anyway....
Hoilday... we are going to lovely John's house in the awful town Oxford... never been, but me being from Cambridgeshire, I have to hate oxford its required! (rivals in the boat race, unis etc)
well short post have to go Faith is trying to iron her pj's with her own toy iron but it means she emptying her drawers on the floor!!!

PHOTO'S!!!

This is my little man! He's so beautiful! He make me broody looking at him, until I remember how much hard work they are and how much they cost!
This is us, Stu didnt want more picture's of him! He's doing so well losing tons of weight so lets hope soon he'll brave the camera again x
And finally!.....


He's so checky! I love his little smile! He is trying to be like his sister and I love him loads. My little Noah x

Been moaned at again!!!

Its like I should have nothing else to do but sit on the net writing blogs!!! So here's my update just for Miss Bell's reading pleasure!
New kitchen is almost in YEAH! but the love of my life has not turned up yet! Its going to be another 2 weeks til it gets here! Argh so lots of hand dishwashing til then!
Anyway we're on holiday soon should be fab! Been ages since I've been on holiday being pregnant puts you off going to far anywhere! But this year I'm pregnancy free and enjoying...(well when they are not screaming!) my babes!
Noah has decided that at six months he wants to try walking!!! "I don't think so son!" my response!
The health visitor said let him get on with it. I can't have them both walking around! I need eyes in my butt as it is! Faith painted my sofa the other day good job we brought leather!!! Otherwise green and yellow wouldn't really go with my living room decor!

Anyway time for Lazytown--I think I'm getting Paula hooked!
TTFN x

Have nice electrician coming to do electrics for me yey! He isn't to bad on the eyes either!!! Nice plaster as well!!!
Anyway I'm feeling very left out as my friends don't comment on my blog anymore except Paula and she doesn't count! (We are so close that we are almost the same person er go she doesn't count!)
Only joking Charlie!!! It takes me ages to get round to reading blogs these days so sorry hun. xxxx Blame the kids you don't like kids anyway so no harm!
