the bitch is back!!

attention my cyber sweethearts... due to popular demand (well actually only my demand) WEEKEND WHINGE IS BACK !*_*! this means that anytime over the weekend i can vent about things that erk me and you can join in on the fun. you can either whinge on your blog or leave a whinge in my comments, that simple. one of these days i will be smart enough to make a badge for my side bar, i have the image in my head... 1950's style housewife with mayhem all around her!!! the sad thing is that most of my whinges are about my poor mister and the kids, and my first whinge does not disappoint in that regard. i will endeavour, however to whinge about other things in general as well *^_^*

why is it my job to do all the paper work? and by paper work i even mean throwing away the junk mail! this is obviously a job i put off until this happens....

this corner becomes the haven for all sorts of things and soon we have an avalanche of 'stuff' falling to the floor, where you guessed it, it sits till I pick it up.

if you look carefully you can see, medications for asthma, sequins,junk mail, x-ray info, children's art work and lilis entire life in grade 1!! oh yes the phone is buried there somewhere too.

i feel like my dad when i hear myself saying things like... 'that has been sitting there for weeks, are you blind?' and 'am i the only person in this house?' things have got to change , i cannot keep up with the growing amount of information regarding book lists, uniforms, doctor appointments (no dad i still havent booked in for the check up on my leg). i think i would die of shock if someone else threw a scrap of paper in the bin. and thats not even mentioning the bills that have to be thought of. yep once again all me. i have two calendars (have had for a few years now) one for money in and out and one for social events and work commitments. it helps me to stay on track but i do wish it wasnt my responsibility. i know, i know i can hear my peeps saying it is my fault for being a control freak but i think i am ready to relinquish that role (just a bit)

phew glad thats off my chest! now i need your help. i can see from the comments of my last post that quite a few of you are familiar with the melty bead thing...here are lilis creations but did i do it right? have i melted them enough? they are not coming apart so i am happy about that but do they need to be more melted?

here are her first two. she cant wait to do more but the baby ( i dont know why i call her a baby when she is 2 and a half ) has to be asleep or else there would be beads everywhere... in ears, up noses, that sort of thing.

they actually arent her designs there is a book with a template but i might suggest that she try her own design, she seems to be creative.

any suggestions or feedback on the melty beads would be much appreciated.

the last photo is for all you necklace wearing ladies (and men if you sway that way).

naked except for those fancy beads. i found her this way dancing to the wiggles! such a great photo opportunity (*_*)

bye for now and feel free to leave your whinge... Linda always makes me laugh with her tales, i am sure you all have at least one thing that annoys you.

mmmwwaah rosey
