 BEFORE paint, after a good sanding down as it was very grubby

AFTER a lick of paint and taa-dahh

The other day i walked into work and saw a kids ikea table and chairs in the back, it was pretty grubby drawing all over it and one half was caked in paint (i forgot to get a picture of the top before it got sanded down) A little while later my boss asked me if it was any good for my girls of course i said yeah and this baby was mine for £5 

My dad lent me a sander, my partner sanded it down and away i went with sprucing it up :)

after a lick of paint it was a gorgeous table perfect for two little girls 

It needs another coat and a coat of gloss and it'll be complete :)

I'm thinking of added the girls names on the back of each chair too

Daisie joined the library & Issy had her sports day

Today i took Daisie along to the library (not that she needs to go to the library the girls practically have their own upstairs in their book box) before heading to Issy's sports day while we were there i joined her up got her own little library card and she got her a little bookstart bear club booklet that includes:


- a little passport where every time she goes along and gets some books out she will get a stamp once she has got 6 paw print stamps she gets a certificate
- a bookmark
- a poster with nursery ryhmes in
and some little finger puppets :)
i wasn't aware they still done this sort of thing, back when Issy was Daisie's age i used to take her quite regular and she done a bookstart book crawl, i have her certificates on my kitchen cupboards :)
So I'll be taking Daisie quite often while Issy's at school and collect Issy from school and we'll all go together.
Today Daisie took two books out being peppa pig baby alexander and Raa Raa the noisy lion Let's play together, she's happily sat and read them with both me and daddy today before bed.

Today Issy had her sports day, she's been abit poorly over the weekend so i wasn't sure if she would be going into school or if she would manage to stay awake during the afternoon but she managed it all :) She did say this morning her belly still hurt so she couldn't go to school but as soon as i mentioned she wouldn't be able to go to nanny's either she made an instant recovery and shot out of bed :')
she done super well in all the tasks of her sports day, shes the only one in a blue bib in her team because she was originally in a blue team but another little girl was upset and wanted their teacher (who was leading Issy's team) so she swapped over to cheer the other little girl up :)

First time having Gelish

I usually have acrylic nails but i leave the infills for as long as possible but this time i left it just a little to long :( my nails kept bending making the ends near the cuticle flick up which makes me feel sick so as soon as a nail done that i bit them off (not a good idea i know) i really didn't have the money spare to go for my infill, so off came one.....

and then another one.....

As you can see in the picture the second ripped down just a little to far :( i could feel it hurting but because i was already half way there was no way i stopping then i noticed how far down it had actually ripped and freaked out like a total girl, anything lower than the first nail makes me feel really sick just the thought of it being that low down makes me cringe and if it touches anything, after days of having a plaster and trying my hardest not to touch anything with that finger i went and had them soaked off and had some Gelish on them to help me deal with getting on with day to day tasks (i can't stand the grated feel of the nail or how flimsy my natural nail is after some acrylics) my nails had grown to the same length as the acrylic and they were due a take off and a fresh set because the nail had started lifting away, I can't stand having naturally long nails the whole bending,splitting and tearing drives me nuts so when they were off they HAD to be cut down.

I feel so naked without my acrylics on :( although it feels good to actually feel my keyboard and being able to pick things up off the floor or side properly, Am i put off having acrylics? hell no as soon as that nail has grown back I'm getting those babies back!! If i could deal with naturally long nails I'd defiantly have gelish nails more often

4 years today

I've been with my amazing man 4 years today and we are still going super strong  :)
i know everyone says it but it really has been the best 4 years of my life and he really is amazing, He's taken on my little Issy as if she was his own there has been many times she has pushed his buttons really hard and times have been difficult were he could have walked away but he didn't and he's still here being the most amazing dad he can be to both our girls, We've been through so much together and he's helped me achieve so many things in the small amount of time we've been together, We've aimed to get married on certain dates many times but the date always comes and passes us by we will start saving up big time for it one day but for now we are happy how we are and there's always something more important that pops up, Of course we'd get married tomorrow if we had the chance. We are having a hand fastening ceremony sometime in the summer tho :)
My anniversary present was my little Gertrude (my car) which had a full valet today, i should be starting my driving lessons back up again on wed. We didn't do anything for it today :( but I'm hoping to drag him out for dinner sometime in the week :)
