Life on the Wight Isle...

Contrary to my previous thoughts of not being able to blog this week I have discovered that the Residebtial Centre has wireless, modern technology amazes me!

Today's Thursday, we left H/Bay last Friday night and the time has really flown by. We've been really busy, Steve especially, I've been trying to be good and not do too much which I find really hard. The Rock School res is going brilliantly, the young people have been having loads of fun and its been really cool to hear the music they've been making and seeing them perform. I hope baby doesn't mind the loudness! S/he seems to have been getting into the groove and moshing along, so that's a positve sign.

Got some wicked photos of the Rock Stars fancy dress cabaret which happened last night. Steve and I did our usual get-up of Indian Man from the Village People and frizzy haired woman who kind of looks like a rosk star with the help of heavy make up. The cable for the digital camera is currently missing...hopefully it will be returned soon! Then I can post up some pics.

Ok, gonna go to bed now and hope that this feeling of a cold coming on goes away in the night.

Busy Bees...

Been quite a hectic week so far, hence the lack of blog updates over past few days. Today I've been off work this morning and should be going to a Youth Advisory Group meeting this evening...providing my young people turn up! After that I'm meeting up with the gorgeous Sarah Allen for a girly time which will be lovely.

Got a fun weekend ahead down in South Hampton with Steve's family, celebrating a 30th birthday, unfortunately Steve won't be around for much of it as he's doing Spree. I love spending time with the Kreegers, haven't seen some of them for a while!

Then on Monday we're ferrying off to the Isle of Wight for a Crusaders residential called Rock School. Steve's got loads of responsibility so I'll be there to help him out where I can and I'm also pastorily responsible for the girls who'll be there. Really looking forward to it, will be working with a great team full of people who I find so much fun to be around. Plus the Isle of Wight is gorgeous.

So this'll be my last blog for a week or so, take care of yourselves!

Clumsy Pregnant Woman...

Yep that's me! Yesterday in Tesco I smashed a glass candle holder, they were very nice and didn't make me pay for it(lucky me that bump is finally showing I think!). Then today I knocked over a stand of DVDs in Morrisons! Em-bar-ass-ing. It is quite funny though and gives me stories to tell. Nothing beats the time I put my mobile through the washing machine cycle when I was about 2 months, poor phone hasn't been the same ever since.

Really enjoyed cell last night, I laughed so much I ached. Was great that Steve was able to join us, he hasn't been for about 6 months! Now that he's finished at Faversham YC he can come along. Happy times! Its nice for Michael cos now he has a buddy who can actually challenge him a bit on the Playstation, unlike me and Sarah. Ho hum.

I'm cooking a nice meal for me and Steve tonight as its our date night...well kind of, he'll get home at 8:30 from work, we'll eat, and then I haven't told him yet but I wanna watch Ladette to Lady! I could try and tape it I suppose, but knowing me at the moment I'll probably break the video player.

Say I Love You with fried bread...

Had a really nice weekend, went round mum and dad's on Saturday and mum and I did lots of sewing type things for the baby's room. I'm really not very good with a sewing machine, it was quite funny. Then on Saturday night I drove over to Ramsgate to meet Steve after work and we went round his boss's house to meet his wife and have dinner. It was a really lovely time and Mike and Victoria are so nice, she's preggers too so we had lots to natter about.

On Sunday I was all wifey and made us breakfast in bed, Steve has been working so hard lately and then coming home and working hard again at DIY stuff and making funding bid films for The Gap etc. So I wanted to say thank you, although sausages, baked beans, and fried bread isn't much of a thank you I think he felt loved. The rest of Sunday was spent doing one of my favourite things...pottering around!

Pottering around with internal hiccups...

It sounds like something an old person would do, but I frequently enjoy pottering around. I like doing it at home, getting the little things done that have needed doing for ages, or being all wifey and baking, or being all creative and re-covering the kitchen table chairs. I like pottering around in the office and sorting the files on the computer so its all neat, filing the annoying bits of paper that crowd the desk, throwing away post-its that have been acheived... Pottering around is good.

I feel really happy at the moment. Work is exciting as we're waiting to hear whether the young people's presentation at the weekend has secured them the 500k for Herne Bay's new Youth Centre. Got a big meeting on Monday with lots of important people about how it'll all come together, which is exciting too. Although I won't be directly involved soon, I know I'll be kept up to date as so many people involved are my friends, so that's nice to know.

Feeling pretty good health wise too. Baby has had the hiccups loads lately which feels quite funny. Though I did start worrying about him/her last night as they had the hiccups for nearly an hour! You can't tell a baby to hold their breath, or drink a pint of water with their arm in the air (that always works for me), and even though Steve did try to give them a fright by saying "Boo!" it didn't work. Poor baby.

If it happens again maybe I'll drink the water with my arm in the air and see if it helps. I'll let you know.
