I may make mistakes, but I get there eventually!

Take this pasta for example.... not cooked spaghetti before and it burnt as it was hanging over the edge of the pan. Oooopppss!

We had a lovely day today, we went to the giant sand pit in town and played and listened to Dave Benson Phillips singing and playing the guitar. I am hoping to interview him for this blog and my Facebook page, probably won't come off but if it does, it will be amazing!

We also went to picnic in the park in Tarring. It was so good to see so many people in one place enjoying the fun and games.

Well I'm off to bug people for interviews and watch some random tv for research for articles. I am currently watching extreme couponing and a woman spent $776.52 then with coupons she only had to pay $19.20, thats a 97% saving! I am going to research couponing on this side of the pond. Maybe we could take a leaf (or coupon) out of their book!

Make for free - Scrapbook

Easy and simple. Perfect to fill in on a rainy day. Decorate, add photos, fill with memories. I have put in things I like, whats happened in the world, favourite music, movies to watch and a wish list of holidays, hot tubs, things to do when she's older.

Finger fun

The most fun I have had with minimal mess. Just need some ink pads, paper and away you go! See how many animals you can make, my next challenge is a butterfly

I hope my balls don't drop.

Getting really busy at the moment, started a new page on Facebook which I am making a sort of online magazine. I have shelved the idea of printing one as I don't really have the money at the moment to put into making a really great magazine. There is a lot to juggle at the moment and I am so happy with where I am now, I feel like a new woman! I'm writing more, looking into writing children's novels, finishing my adult novel, blogging, Facebooking and researching new projects all of the time. I have signed up to do another abseil next year down the Spinniker Tower in Portsmouth, I am trying new things like art classes, I am going to try the meditation class, crochet classes, you name it, I have my name down for it. I also feel better since I have thrown my vitamins away, I read an article in the paper about them http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2376893/Multivitamin-studies-supplements-harm-good.html it's basically about them doing more harm than good. It made me realise that I am putting things into my body and I'm not sure what they are and why. So it has prompted me to be a bit healthier, I have eaten at least one piece of fruit today! Oh and eaten 4 chocolate biscuits, I guess I will have to work on that balance. I have been cycling a lot though and I am determined to cycle to Brighton from Worthing next weekend. I am also looking at doing a charity bike ride next year from Brighton to Paris, so I better get my butt moving and training! I haven't forgotten my quest to make myself smarter so my thing from yesterday is... The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing. So it's useful being a lefty then And todays sentence of wisdom.... No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. Not useful for poetry then, maybe we should make up new words that rhyme with them? Probably not going to make me that much smarter, but I bet they will come up in a pub quiz one day!

A tampon box is holding my new best friend

After vigorous over plucking as a teen, my eyebrows are now thin pathetic little lines. I was considering getting them tattooed on but I have found my new best friend.....ta dah to the eyebrow pencil. Many of you may think er they have been around forever, but I am a bit slow on the up take. I can now see my brows in photos and in the mirror at a distance. I feel like they have been born again! I'm so happy!...Right off to get a life now, I have a tampon box full of make up to decorate. (It's empty of tampons and has proved to be a very useful lil box.)
