Noo Noo Noo Noooooooooooo!!

I think I'm in the twiglet zone...


Had my annual bath (it being January) heheh.. I'm kidding of course but something strange happened whilst I was in there..

Happily bathing am I, it's peaceful.. all the children have already pee'd and there's no danger of my peacefulness being disturbed...or is there??

Well of course there is otherwise I wouldn't be writing this..lol.

But seriously, why do they do that? When I run a bath I ALWAYS ask everyone in the house if they require the use of the bathroom before I get in.. I MAKE the children go pee.. I warn my darling husband (on pain of death) that if he does not go now he may not change his mind in 10 minutes when I am relaxing under all the lovely bubbles, even if his bowels are threatening to explode..

So why is it then when Mum gently lowers herself into the lovely warm water some little sod (for want of a better word to describe my angelic children) taps on the door and says....

"Mummy... I need a wee..."

and then in traipses the first child desperate for a wee, now I'm not daft.. I know that once this child has been allowed to enter that the others will quickly follow and the last one always needs to go one further and do a big poo and the smell lingers long after they've gone again...lol.

So knowing my fate is sealed and my peaceful moment is over I do the necessary and wash and then do my hair and decide I should quickly shave whilst I'm here cos that leg looks a bit hairy and.... wtf?

I have one hairy leg and one bald one. o_O

Feeling a little confused I check under my arms and sure enough I have one hairy and one bald..

"ok srsly now.. wtf is going on?" I say as I double check and sure enough one bald and one hairy...all kids of things start to run through my head..

"How is that possible?"

"I'm a freak.. I have lost the ability to grow hairs down the left side of my body...left side of my body.. oh God that can't be good..."

"Whats going on??"

"OMG Is my hair gonna start falling out?!?!?!?!"

"Have I still got my left eyebrow??"

I'm stood up in the bath now trying to lean out to look in the mirror over the sink and trying not to break my back or something as I check I still have both my eyebrows and at that moment my smallest child (Heather, not youngest but definitely shortest..as Angelina likes to remind everyone lol) enters the room, gives me a cheeky grin and a "Hi Mum..", whips down her pants and starts to do the stinkest poo in the history of bowel movements..ever.

She sits there smiling and swinging her legs and I remember that during the previous bath a mere couple of days earlier she'd done the same.. infact I remember the smell was so bad that I had to get out of the bath and leave the room..

in the middle of shaving my legs......!!!!


Relieved, I start laughing and Heather starts laughing (she has no idea why though..) and then the smell hits me... and I fly out of the bath and leave the room..with one bald leg and armpit and one hairy... still.. I should go fix that actually, whilst she's still at school!!!

Woe is me...

It's not fair..


It's not y'know.


I not happy...


and when I'm not happy you shall all know...


I is very very sad...

What has made you sad? I hear you asking... ok well I don't but dammit you should be!!!

well to be honest.. its this..

(****DOCTOR WHO SPOILER ALERT!!!! Do NOT read if you weren't one of the 10 million watching last night or if you don't want to know...lol****)





now if it'd just been that then I maybe could have coped but it wasn't just that was it? No... cos first we had this



and if that wasn't bad enough I was blubbing too.. because he gave us the line..

"I don't want to go!!"

followed by this..



WTF?!?!?!?!

Look at his face...He's crying!!!!

he's crying.. I'm crying... it was a regular little blub-fest going on over here (ok ok I was blubbing way before the regeneration business but still..).

So Mr Russell T Davies... what the hell are you trying to do to me?

I'm distraught. My son is gutted and it's just not on!!! I wouldn't mind but I don't really see the need to regenerate him into a new Doctor. He managed perfectly well sending the Time Lords packing and the Master with them.. all on his lil own and I think it was just mean of you to turn him into much less tastier bloke for the next series.

Bring back David.. Look..see how pretty he is.. *le sigh* and look! He even likes kitties... he's perfect!!



What will we do without him? Well we'll watch the new one wont we?? yep.. but we're only watching so we can moan and complain about how rubbish he is and how much he is not Mr Tennant.. yeah and we will be MOST vocal about it too.. or I will anyway..lol

Who decided Tennant could make his own decisions anyway? How rude...

So goodbye for now Mr Tennant, you'll be missed.. but in the meantime..



can I have your shirt please?? You wont be needing it anymore... lol

The end?

In 8 hours the lovely David will no longer be the Doctor.

It's just not on and I'm not playing... exactly who's silly idea was this anyway?

2009..another year of blogging...

Well it was better than 2008 but lets face it.. anything would have been better than 2008 really wouldn't it?

So quick run down and a few pics maybe of the year..Oooh fun!!

January.

January, if I remember correctly... was cold. Meh nothin 'New' about that.. it's always cold.. and boring... I can't even remember what happened in January.. Oh wait!! Yep, they announced that my beloved David Tennant would be killed off (ok ok regenerated...a mere technicality) into this lil dude..


who is not nearly as gorgeous as mah Dave and I'm just not happy about it in the slightest..

So.. that was January and it SUCKED.

February.

In February we all got the lurgy, tangled with this bunch of cowboys over a sofa, but still founds reasons to be cheerful with this lil one... *le sigh*

March.

Let's not eh?

April.

April brought the most beautiful boy... who provides such joy and incredibly lovely pictures that I wish I could share with you but can't for I have not discussed with his lovely Ma and Pa. Needless to say he is as cute as a button and has cheeks you want to squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!!!!! love him love him love him love him .. i do i do i do i do i dooo ooooo!! LOL

Yes Albie Callan Peter Smith arrived on 11th April and brought with him some much needed joy and at a perfect time too.. just as we were gearing up for that first anniversary of grief and I think he eased the pain slightly for all of us. I know Dad would have been proud and would have adored him as much as he adored all his other grandchildren.. he would of course never have allowed Simon and Sarah to forget however that he was born across the border and down there with the 'southern softies' no less.. still it could have been worse.. he could have been born on the wrong side of the pennines.. (shhhh.. mustn't say the "L" word!!).. so yes. April was a very good month... long may that continue.

May.

May brings birthdays and busy times and blackness these days... I wont pretend it's fun. May used to bring Bankruptcy (almost.. lol) as virtually the whole family has a birthday or at least one member or more of each little family gets a year older in those 4 weeks.. (I think there's something like 13 birthdays.. its ridiculous!!) but now all any of us seem to think about is he who is not here.

May brought the anniversary and a trip up to the 'Top of the world' as we affectionately call it, it's more commonly known as Holme Moss in Huddersfield and its where we scattered Dad.

May is a tough one thats for sure... doesn't look like it'll get much easier in future either...

In other May news I went back to school and had a tangle with a white van driver... yeah May sucked too.. bring on June!!!!!!

June.

I got older.. again!!

June SUCKED!!! NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



(* edit.. on a positive note to June I completed 12 months smoke free..yeah I can't believe it either!!)

July.

Aahhhhh lovely July...

Scarborough.. 'nuff said.

August.

August was BUSY!!!

There was a visit from the tooth fairy for this mucky lil pup..
Look at the colour of him!!

Then someone (namely me..) had the bright idea that it might be fun to try trace the family tree.. with a maiden name of Smith it's not easy but we're getting there.. albeit slowly.. very slowly!! LOL

The boy finally got off his butt and learned to ride the bike.. which took approx 3 seconds to do and he hasnt touched it since either btw..lol

More cute babies (so glad they're not mine..lol) in the shape of Harry born to my old sis-in-law Vicki and her husband Scott.

Kids hid the phone for 4 days so no one could call us, then they broke the living room door.. trapping us upstairs and running round the side of the house in our pj's to get back in... fun.

Rich had the last birthday in his 30's... cant wait until August!!

September.

September was all about "Big School", yes my babies started school and how cute do they all look in their uniforms?



Another baby came, another boy too!!! My bezzie mate Donna's daughter Cate brought little Riley into the world on my Dad's birthday no less.. obviously a star in the making and a cutie he is too.. bless him.

There was another birthday this month.. my girls turned 5. Seems like yesterday since i was buried under a pile of nappies and baby stuff but in a blink they're little supermodels in waiting..lol



October.

It's still birthday season in October at our house and this time it's Jake's turn.. this year he was 8 which is perfectly old enough now.. can we go back a few years and stop being such a tweenager now please?



November.

The end of October brought much happiness and joy but in a split second it turned to November and another month tinged with sadness as we tried to deal with another tragedy and comfort our loved ones that suffered so much pain as Jess and Luke lost their much wanted baby daughter Bella less than a day after her birth. I know only too well how unfair life is and how harsh it can be. They have been truly dignified and united in their grief and are still holding each other close, we're incredibly proud of them and their strength is humbling to us all. I truly hope 2010 is kinder to them... no doubt we will never forget but nor would we want to. God bless precious girl xx.


December.

Well... if you want a quick over view December brought presents... a 'fluffed' driving test (bring on January!!), an arc-angel Gabriel in the shape of Heather and lots of excited children.. it also brought turkey and ham and chocolate and a dose of the flu (swine maybe? not sure) for Grandad and Daddy.. you'll be pleased to know I'm fine..lol yeah I prolly just jinxed myself huh?

and this takes us up to now.. so thats it...2009 all done and reet quick too!!! In case I missed anything you can always read back by hitting the month tags down the right side of the main page, feel free.

I'm leaving you with this...



Happy New Year. May 2010 bring only happiness and joy please... we've had enough sadness and tears now ok?

Seriously though.. I dunno what's coming our way but it better be good..lol xx

I don't want to be in a pie.. I don't even like gravy!!!!

Can you guess what Heather's new favourite film is?

Chicken Run... gotta love it. ;)

Here's her fave bit. enjoy.

Pretty Princesses and pink glasses.

My little miss got some glasses.. and after a trip to the hospital optician who stuck her some eye drops in to dilate her pupils we discovered she's a little long sighted.

But my little Princess was sooooooooooooo good promised her, her pick of any glasses she wanted..... those eye drops hurt y'know.. and she didn't even flinch.

So prescription in we headed off to Specsavers and in she marched up to the counter where she told the lady her name and that she needed glasses and she'd like pink ones please.

Well pink ones she has... doesn't she look stunning? She chose them all by her little self..

They were so impressed with her that they even got her a pink case to keep them in!!

Of course Angelina's pissed... she wants glasses too.

White Christmas...

Santa came to our house and no one elses this year... well he broke his back carrying all this guff for my lot you see...

sorry 'bout that boys n girls..


I panic bought okay? I do it ever year.. I start out with great intentions.. and I shop early, in fact I start usually in the January sales and in preparation of their (and others) birthdays... only by the time it gets to their birthdays in September and October I've bought way too much and so I pick out some bits and put the rest away until Xmas.. then I forget about the stuff I've put away for Xmas and buy Xmas presents.. then I remember I have a load stashed and get those out too.. then I chastise myself for buying too much and hide the stuff all over the house (and at my Mum's) and forget about it for a little longer and THEN I last minute panic buy cos I haven't bought any presents lately and it'll soon be Xmas and OMG!!! we end up with what you see here.

LOL.. yes I'm shit, I know this... but at least I do not try to hide this fact and in my defence I usually spend about the same amount every year and though it looks like theres a huge amount there, there isnt, it's just stacked to look that way..hehe i'm not fooling anyone am I?

so.. we had smiles...



we had silliness



we had Xmas dresses..


we had a Jedi death match!!!



we had a bunch of greedy little buggers all addicted to xmas pud. how rude...



We had a great time...and now we have a wendy house too... I'll bloody kill my mother for this one..



Merry Xmas. xx
