5 facts about my pregnancy with Daisie!

1- I was induced when I was what the hospital thought was 38 weeks but once she was born they realized that my dates were infact right which I argued through out my pregnancy and I was actually 42 weeks & 6 days
2- Daisie was diagnosed with CCAM at my 21 week scan
3- I was sick twice in this pregnancy too, once after a chinese (noodles are not easy to bring back up!) and i was retching while giving birth (again not easy holding a bowl & retching and squeezing my mums arm while pushing too) I was eventually sick all over the toilet floor on my ward after I'd had Daisie and she was taken to the special baby unit, so much for the anti sickness injection i had

How do you manage christmas?



I know I know I'm really early with this post and I've probably depressed you all or set you in a panic with how long we actually have left until Christmas but do you have any plans on how to make Christmas shopping easier? Every year I plan to start shopping in January but I never do so from now I plan on buying a present a week to help get a collection together before Christmas so i can go crazy closer to Christmas without spending so much in one go, I also plan on starting one of the Christmas saving cards in asda to buy all my Christmas dinner stuff in with, We have an early Christmas and Andy's mums as she works an awful lot.

School shoes....


Are school shoes jut not made to last anymore? or should me little girl have been a boy? is my little girl the only one to go through so many shoes in her first year of school? her school years are going to cost me a fortune, I really do need to stock up :( shes just gone through her 4/5th pair since starting school. The cheapest pair of school shoes I can find local to me is asda for £1O don't get me wrong I don't mind spending that but it's a lot to spend out on when they will last her around a month or two max, I'm having a good look around and will be stocking up on some spares. Can anyone recommend any well priced school shoes? I'm going to go with a chunkier sole to see if that helps in anyway 

First day of school, thee got to a point where i could poke my finger right through the hole while waiting for her new school shoes to arrive

shoes number 2

shoes number 3 

and finally shoes number 4

L'OREAL paris FeRia Hair dye


Where do I start? My partner bought me this hair dye by accident when he was buying my XXL live dyes to get my purple back, this box of dye has sat around since that day as I only needed the one XXL purple to get the colour I wanted YAYYY!! So this one wasn't needed, We had a wedding to attend yesterday and I planned to wear my hair down my roots had got pretty bad so I thought I'd re do them and use this dye (stupid I know) Thank god we done all over and not just the roots because it come out the WRONG colour :( I am not amused at all it came out the colour the hairdressers gave me when I parted with £45 then fixed it myself and got the colour i wanted :'( so know i'm going to have to kill my hair some more getting my purple back!! This is why i haven't used box dyes in years after buying a brown and it coming out jet black.

this is the colour I've ended up with...

I am under that fringe somewhere lol


This is what i had before...
You can't really see much different in the bottom picture of me and Andy but the top picture of me and my girls is how reddish it is :'(
