sewing and woodworking are my new things!

 Hi!

So firstly - Lissa is pregnant again and it is another girl - due in December!

Adam is getting married in just over 2 weeks - and Andy has just been asked to perform the ceremony!  (they already got married in a registry office - this bit is the celebration)

Connor just moved house and moved in with mates - still in Cardiff and as always still hates his job!

I have been sewing - I only wanted to make cushions but it escalated! and I am currently wearing a dress I made.  I am not very good at it though to be honest - but I'm hoping it is a hobby that will continue!






So we have had a workshop built so I can get all the tools out of the house and have somewhere to made stuff!!!


The picture above shows it half way through being treated - I have stopped for a few days as it was giving me headaches and making me feel sick!

Yesterday was the first day I actually started moving tools in and started making a workbench - waiting on a delivery today from B&Q so I can finish it...

Since I last posted on here - we have been to Cardiff and watched Ed Sheran which was awesome! Andy got VIP tickets so we had access to a lounge with our own table - inclusive booze and food, which made the experience even better! Ed Sheran was amazing!  We enjoyed it so much we did it all again and saw the Stereophonics!!!




In other news - my Mum has a boyfriend called err....I forgot....Pete?  She is totally smitten and I am finding it very weird.  She is happier than I have ever known her to be which is obviously a good thing - but I'm still not over losing my Dad and don't think I ever really will be, so although I am happy for her I also find it distressing....

I drove to Bridgnorth a week or two ago - just so I could take Andy's Dad - John - to a hospital appointment - his parents are really struggling at the moment - they don't have a car and he has an extremely painful ulcer on his leg so he is struggling to walk and has to go to docs 3 times a week to have dressings changed.  Was really nice to be able to help out - just wish they were not so far away!

Andy has started his new job with IBM - but is just doing training course after training course atm.

Okay - think that is me done for now! 

Bye for now!
