Saturday
Another scorcher!!!
Went to Kai’s football game, they got beat with the last kick of the ball, 5-6. One more friendly until the new season starts, then I think that when they all move up to under 13’s.
Came home and out to sit in the garden, and that’s where I stayed all day!
Went to bed at 11pm, my turn for Dex in the morning.
Sunday
Another day like yesterday, total blissful sunshine!
Mum dropped in on her way home from Edinburgh where she had a night out last night. Gave her a wee present I got for her. It was an Elvis dress change fridge magnet. Its great!! He’s got about 4 different outfits to change, along with shades, shoes and even 2 different guitars! I think I might just get one for myself too! We sat out in the garden for a bit, had a wee blether then she left to go home to sit out her own back.
After mum went, made lunch and sat out the back for the rest of the day.
Hopefully do the same tomorrow, only I really do have to go shopping.

dont blame it on the sunshine
Went to Whitburn yesterday to Stevens grans first then up to his mums. We were just about to get ready to go when she told us she had made us dinner so we had to stay around for it. Ended up not getting home in time for Dex’s bath, so he didn’t get to bed till after 7.30, an hour later than usual.
Out in the garden today, cutting the grass and planting some bulbs I found on another patch of the garden that still has weeds. Pottered about a bit enjoying the sun. It was such a beautiful day today, absolutely gorgeous infact, very sunny and hot, for a change. I put some sun cream on before I went out but didn’t put any on my back, and low and behold, my back is totally burnt!
Walked down to the school at 3.30 to get Kai. He was coming home from camp and I was really excited to see him. Waited for half an hour then the head mistress came out to tell us the bus was stuck in traffic at Kingston bridge in Glasgow and wouldn’t be there till about 4.45!! God, the wait! Eventually got him and gave him a massive big cuddle!
Just HAD to get the BBQ out for dinner. Billy and Shannon came up, Linda was in Portobello and phoned earlier saying she might drop in, ended up just Billy and Shannon. Got everyone feed and watered and by about 5ish Dex fell asleep. He was sleeping till about 6 so when he woke up I took him in for his bath, got him all ready for bed and thought he’d still be tired and go to sleep his normal time. No, not a chance, that was him up till nearly 10 o’clock!!
Hopefully going to be a nice day tomorrow, its supposed to be nice all weekend, ill be putting PLENTY of sun cream on anyway.

give him a job!
Steven’s got an interview next week for “Currys”, I think its in the warehouse. Hope he gets it. I told him he really has to take anything he gets because I cant afford to keep him on my maternity wage. I'm supposed to go back to work in a couple of weeks, but if he gets a day time job, I might take the extended maternity leave which will take me up to September, so I can be here when Kai’s on school holidays. We had it all planned out with his last job. He’d have Dex in the morning while I was at work, then he’d go to his work in the afternoon when I got home. Well that’s all up in the air now. I get more annoyed at him for leaving his work every time I think of it.
Started the new regime of bandaging Dex at bed time. After his bath he gets cream on, then it has to be left for at least 20 mins before he gets his hydrocortisone on. So he’s lying naked for that time with a towel over him. We’re going to work it round “in the night garden” (one of his favourite programmes) cos he’ll lie and watch it. After his last cream he gets the bandage vest and tights on, he HATES getting dressed at the best of times, so trying to get tight bandages on him is a challenge!

Taco's for dinner
Didn’t really do much today.
Out in the garden for about an hour looking for weeds.
Went to docs with Dex for a follow up appointment. After using the great cream that really cleared his skin, it all flared up again. We cant use it very often so we have another 2 creams that we’ve to use as a kind of ladder, a mild one and moderate then the good one. We were told if we use the good one too much it will thin his skin, so im scared to use it now.
Came up the road, had dinner, watched Britain’s Got Talent, then going to bed.

PARTEEEE!!!!!!!!
Should have done this last night.
Monica’s 21st was really good, great to see all the family again. Tina, Arthur’s wife, said if we ever want a wee holiday by the beach to come down. Well, mum and me were straight in there, asking all about the place, how big there hoose was, could they fit us all in, how far to the beach, question, question, question. Found out we could get a flight from about £16 return from Prestwick. So that’ll be our holiday sorted!! I don’t know if Tina really ment for us to jump in and take her up on the offer or not! Oh well, we going now. Arthur was asking after everyone and having a laff. mum asked Jacqueline if she was having a party, she said she wasn’t, so I went over and said to her “here, Jackie! We’re coming to your bit for a blether ok?” “Aye” she says, mum used the bad word “party”, that’s one you DON’T say. So we went to hers for a bit after waiting for about an hour on mum’s taxi pal, she’s SO loyal!! All in all, had a great night and looking forward to seeing them in July when we turn up at their door, but Murray’s not allowed, poor wee thing.
Came home from mum’s early afternoon so Steven could get peace to watch the football only to find out Setanta decided he didn’t have an active account. He has, and was really p’d off, so he had to go to the pub to watch it. didn’t hear him complaining then.
Kai went away till Friday this morning with the school. Waited till the bus drove away, with them all waving at there mum’s and dad’s. Really felt like crying but had to hold it in. I really miss him!!! I found old photo’s of him on his first day of school, I was just telling him about his first day a few weeks ago, now I can show him. I didn’t think anyone had any, so im over the moon and cant wait to show him. His wee face looking over and waving at me and his grandad, awww just sooooo cute!
Took Robbie back home and stayed at Linda’s for a bit. She couldn’t remember speaking to me on the phone last night and telling her I could bring him back, god she was drunk. Thought it’d be the better thing to do cos I knew she have a mother of a hangover today, turned out I was right!
Went to asda for pizza for dinner on the way home. It was horrible, that’s the first one from there that I really didn’t like. OH!! Talking of food, I almost forgot about the wee concoction my mum had on Sat night from the buffet. Chicken curry sauce and sliced strawberry’s!!!! “ack, it all goes down the same way”. maybe it was quite nice? don’t think it’ll be one ill be trying anytime soon!

Football madness!
Giving a wee post this afternoon so I don’t have to catch up with 2 days worth tomorrow.
Took Kai to his football game this morning. I phoned the coach last night and he gave Steven directions to where it was. So this morning, Steven said to go a different way saying it would be quicker… we were 20mins late! Ended up going past the turn off we should have taken. Kai was a sub (probably because he was late) but got on the pitch about 15 mins in. the ref was rubbish. It turned out the ref was the other teams coach and kept giving goals when the other boys were off-side. The end score was 7-4 to the other team. The ref gave 3 offside goals and didn’t give our team a deserved penalty! Our coach was going to take the boys off the pitch he was that peed off.
Went down to shops for more of Dex’s food, he doesn’t like the Heinz stuff!
Just about to leave to go to mums for our night out. Have to remember to take a pen for email addresses.
Until tomorrow

Going back to my roots
YESTERDAY
Didn’t do much yesterday. Steven out doing the garden, I took Dex out for a wee while but he wasn’t up for it. Later on took Kai to football game in Craigswood, they lost 3-2. He said he didn’t want to play midfield anymore, I think he was just a bit downhearted.
Got home just in time for Linda bringing Robbie through. Laura had her makeup on the way I used to wear mine when I was younger, pink on the top and blue across the eyelid. Had to tell her to “blend blend blend“. (that’s the secret you know!)
Got a wee bottle vodie to have one last night but was too tired to have any. Went to bed around 10.30 and Dex was lying awake. I tried to get him back to sleep and just fell over when Steven came to bed and woke him back up again. Had hardly any sleep, thank goodness it was Steven’s turn to get up.
TODAY
MUMS BIRTHDAY
This morning I had a doctors appointment at 10am, got up at 9 to phone and cancel it, I was too knackered to go and wanted more sleep. Eventually got up at 12, and I could’ve slept longer but thought that I really should make myself get up. txt mum as soon as i could see me phone to wish her "happy birthday", gave her a wee phone later on. Been feeling really sluggish all day, I hope im not coming down with something.
Went out to the garden with Dex about 3ish then Steven took him back in saying he was crabit, I think he just needed a different toy to play with.
Had the dinner then got the photo’s out I got from mum’s last week. You want to see some of these! Kai and Robbie were rolling about laughing at some of them.

Alive and kicking thanks very much!
At the hospital today with Dex to see the nurse. Gave us 3 more creams to use along with the other creams and soaps and some bandages for him too. We’ve to use them even though he looks fine. I hate using them, its just that the last time they rolled up to behind his knees during the night and gave him some really nasty looking blisters. If that happens again, im not using them! I got a couple creams off her too for my dry skin on my hands and the back of my neck.
Went to Whitburn after the hospital to Steven’s mums house cos he had an interview for a electrician course. This will cost round about £6000 for a 2 yr course and 3 weeks down in Liverpool, paying £500 up front!! Erm… think he needs a job first. Told him to try the jobcentre, they might help with fees for it and he could do this while he’s working.
Took Kai and his wee pal to training tonight. He normally gets a lift but because Steven is here I could take him. He’s got a match tomorrow night, so lets hope he scores more goals! Its down at Craigswood for the match, first time there for the team.
Mum phoned tonight. We’re going out on Saturday night to Jacqueline Johnson’s daughter’s 21st birthday party. Looking forward to it, think cousin Arthur’s going to be there too, not see him since John’s party years ago. She says Linda might be going if she can get a b/sitter, if she does, we can make it her birthday night out. we were thinking about doing that next week, but if Linda does come, we can save money on just the one night out. (I’m elskinto and looks like it’ll stay like that for a wee while, well till Steven gets another job.)
Did a wee test online to see which career id be suited too, they came up with an embalmer!!! At the top of the list too!! No way could I do that!

UB40
FINISHED!!! that’s the bathroom DONE, tick for that. Been raining here for the past few days, quite heavy at times too, so the garden’s on hold for now. Just to dig up the weeds where the grass is going to be. Will I put some pictures of it on? Do you want to see?
Went to shops for Dex’s food and nappies and ended up getting chocolate things as well. I knew I should have had something to eat before we went down.
Steven sent an email to his work today, he’s not going back. The stress of angry customers was getting to him so he’s been looking for a new job. I didn’t expect him to do it at all, he must really have been unhappy or he wouldn’t have done it. He phoned his mum and got a lecture for his actions cos he has a family to look after. He’ll get something else soon, I hope.

What time?!
Had a long lie in today, I must have needed it. I got up at 11 o’clock, and that was Steven waking me!
Shannon, her boyfriend Jordan and her wee brother came up for a visit. Kai’s been playing her brother Robbie on xbox live, this is the first they’ve met since Kai was about 5, so that was them in the room all day. Shannon came in the kitchen while I was making dinner and I told her a few wee stories I remembered about ma maw and granny and auntie Peggy. She didn’t know maw stayed with her great granny, said she hadn’t saw a photo of her, and didn’t know what she looked like. So I described her with her pinnie, and blue glasses, and the wee bit under her eye where she had the skin graph. Ill have to look out a photo for her to see. Gave them all their dinner, (curry) and they left about 6ish.
Got around to eventually doing the tiles, at last! Just a few things to put up now to finish it off, but will wait till tomorrow, don’t want to waken Dexy boy.
Dex’s skin is looking fantastic. We’ve been using the new cream from the hospital and it’s the first time ive felt his wee belly with baby soft skin! Even behind his knees is the same colour as the rest of him! Really happy with the way he’s looking.

Lost journey
Well, didn’t manage to get the bathroom finished, but I will have it done this week, I promise myself! I’ve been waiting long enough for me to do the tiles.
Went to Whitburn to pick up the wee sucker seat for the bath for Dex. Then to the bowling club where we thought Steven’s mum and dad would be. I promised Kai we would have a wee cola and packet crisps, (something I used to love doing when I went Saturday shopping up the street then getting smuggled into The Sefton) but they weren’t there. Found out later on that his mum was inside but didn’t look there. Oh well.
Got home and were going to have a BBQ but couldn’t get it lit. so just spent some time outside with a wee beer, almost just as good.
Watched the “episode finale” of Lost, had to have a big cliff hanger, hate that! don’t know when its back on again, and here was me just getting into it! Typical!

Proud mum!
Was up early yesterday. got started straight away with the house work, and didn’t stop till I had to drop off Steven at his mums with Dex, and Kai and me to our’s. I totally scrubbed the bathroom floor to get the paint drips off, as well as all Dex's ironing. Billy and Shannon were at mum‘s, but it didn’t seem as if I was there that long before I had to leave again to pick up Steven and Dex. On our way along the motorway it was TEAMING down with rain, thought it was going to be a long journey, but it wasn’t too bad.
Got home and caught up with the rest of “Lost” so that’s us up to date now. I miss it tonight. Really getting into it and the last episode is next week, its getting pretty mental!
Got up and took Kai to football this morning. He’s been moved to play midfield, before he was defending. When I went back to pick him up the coach shouted to him, “hey Kai! Go and tell your mum!”. Kai ran over and told me he scored his first goal! YEAH!! The coach’s wife told me that he is in the front runners for being awarded the most improved this season, but ive not to tell him just in case someone else overtakes him. The coach is really impressed with him! that’s great eh! His team also won 5-0. They’ve being doing brilliant lately!
Got home from Kai’s game to get ready to go to Rachel’s wee lassie Ella’s 2nd birthday with Dex, this is his first party and he won pass the parcel! Got a txt from Billy that he, Lynn and Liam were coming to pay us a wee visit. Liam’s getting really big! He’s even got hair AND he’s nearly crawling! they’ve got someone to rent their house so will be moving in with mum for a bit before they go off to New Zealand.
Watched a bit of “Wanted” tonight, film with Angelina Jolie. Steven kept falling asleep. I hate watching a film together then he falls asleep, so he’s away to bed. Every time I went down for a fag, I kept hearing music and I was thinking, I could be just as well out somewhere and just let him sleep. Its really annoying being the on my own on a Saturday night. It gets depressing, he does it all the time.
Gonna try and finish the bathroom tomorrow. All I have to do is paint the grout in-between the tiles, then get Steven to put up the pictures and the blind, then it’ll be DONE!

the before shot!
Thought I should show you a wee bit of the “before” pics of the garden I took probably around 2 weeks ago, and what a change since then! Ive taken some more pictures so I’ll show them as we go along, its really looking great.
Had a really sore head last night so didn’t get round to blogging. Sometimes I feel its like a chore when im tired, quite a lot these days, you know, baby and all. Anyway, went down for Dex’s prescription but the doc hadn’t put how much of the cream he was to have, so we didn’t get it till today when they got it sorted out.
Went to our local gardening centre for some chipped bark, 2 bags for a tenner so we got 2 and a few more plants. I was thinking that it would cost a fortune to do the garden, but its really mostly hard work (Steven) and getting things as you go along. I was saving up in the post office for the garden but that was all away last week when we used it for our holidays.
In the photo above, you can bearly see the beautiful wee tree. That part is all done and finished now, wait till i show you it! Mum and Linda will see it John but you wont, so im doing the pics just for you. hope you want to see what im doing?
Was out in the garden for most of the day today. Had Dex out in his buggy after he had his lunch and he was quite content for a while, playing with his wee toys out in the fresh air. After a wee while when he got fed up, I got his ring and let him play in that for a bit. I think he had a good wee day, out in the garden. It was lovely here, just a wee bit breezy. I love how the garden’s coming on. Might just give Steven a wee kiss for his hard work!

Beechgrove Garden
Had dentist today, need 2 very small fillings on old ones. She said after having a baby, teeth and gums change a lot and that mine really wasn’t to bad. I asked about teeth whitening, £360 for her to do it, I thought it’d be MUCH more expensive.
Went to aldi’s and Morrison’s for my weekly shopping, got all of Dex’s wee jars in.
Out doing the garden today again, well Steven done most of it, I only really weeded the strawberry patch. its really comming on and starting to look pretty good! Shannon and her wee boyfriend gave us a wee visit since they were bored. I told them if they were coming to help in the garden, they didn’t. big surprise there, but they did keep Dex amused.
His face has flared up today, I thought about taking him down to the docs, put a wee bit of his hydrocortisone on and it started to die down.
Catching up with the “Lost” that we’ve had for ages. Only 3 more to watch and that’s us caught up, at last.

its been a long time!
Holiday was good. Caravan was a tin can, an unclean one at that. As soon as I got into the tin can, I put Dex in his seat and started cleaning the kitchen straight away. Scooshed “flash” all over the bathroom and left it for the cleaner, it was DISCUSTING! weather was totally rubbish, torrential rain, very wet, and force gale winds. mum came down on the Tuesday. It was great to have her around, had a really nice time with her. She was up for drinking more than me! We got a lovely pic of the weans from the photo shop, Cost a blooming fortune. Had an argument with the bar staff for selling me glasses of ice after paying £1.60 for a cola! absolute disgrace. Took Kai 2 secs to finish his. Had two shots with Kai on the go karts and being a driver I beat him twice, YEEEES! Went for a walk for about 2hrs with Steven, Kai, Dex and Murray. Probably the only 2 hours of dry weather, Murray was knackered! I really did have a lovely time though, even after all my moans, its still good to get away.
OH MY GOD!!! ma hoose is STINKING!!! between the nappy bin at the top of the stairs, and the bathroom right beside it, steven having a "dodgy belly" and Kai coming home from school asking if the toilet's empty, been at school all day now home for THE toilet, its bloody stinking in here! thank god its a sunny day here so i can open all the windows, WIDE!!! pooeee. just sprayed some Glade to mask the smell, big mistake. its now a smell between stinking poos and flowers. ugh
Came home on Friday and Billy and Shannon gave us a visit. Had Chinese for dinner then had a early night. Saturday, Tracey phoned me to go down for a wee drink with the girls, so was down there all day.
cleaned up the house a bit yesterday till ma mum came with our bag of washing. No she didn’t clean it for us, we couldn’t fit it in the car. Put a rinse in her hair for her, I really should be doing my own, ive not done it for months and the lassies are starting to point it out!
Been watching some of Linda’s clothes on ebay, think ill start to do it myself. Ive got LOTS of clothes to take to charity. It’ll be a big job though.
Phoned my work today to find out when ive to go back. I thought it would be maybe next week, turns out its not till June 15th!!!! Ages yet!
Had Dex at hospital today with his eczema. Just going to try more creams. Have to take him next week for an hour long appointment with the nurse so she can tell us everything to do with eczema and how to do all his bandages if he needs them. I think he will need them now and then, its just a wee shame, it gets really bad sometimes.
Steven in bed just now, he's ill, dodgy belly. Dex watching the telly, quietly. Kai out with his pals till its time for him to go to football training. Me, im just having a nice bit of quiet time, got about 10 mins left.
Might add some more later as its so early in the day.

early the night...
hardly done anything yesterday, so didn't think it was justified to post. only last night i watched 5 episodes of "come dine with me" then started to catch up with "pushing daisies" and Steven came in from work. i was having a wee vodie and wanted to chat, but he stayed up for about an hour then went to bed. that was about 12ish. i stayed up to have another wee vodka and spoke to john for a couple mins but he told me to go to bed. so off i went to bed, probably around 3.
asked Steven to get up for Dex and got a moan from him back. don't think I'm allowed to have a drink on a Sat night! but he got up anyway, then i was told to get up at 10.
Linda came through and took Robbie home, just before she left ma mum came through to change motors with me for our holidays tomorrow. we just wont be able to fit much in our own car, if Dex wasn't with us we could. its like a flittin when we go anywhere now.
done some washing, watched Steven dig the garden, planted a few plants, made the dinner. made beef burgers, now the house stinks, all the clothes'll be humming. going in for a bath, im knackered.
probably wont be blogging till maybe Friday.
we're away our holidays!!

6 for a fiver, 6 for a fiiiiivaar!!!!
out in the garden today and finished off the heather patch, well almost, i just have to get some more plants to fill in the bald patches. Steven put in the other plants we got the other day, and i have to correct myself. i said we got 3 for £5 of alpines but it was actually 6 for a fiver!!!!
went to train station to pick up Robbie. Kai got all hyper as soon as he arrived. 10 Min's after Robbie got here, Steven took the boys to the flicks to see the new Xmen film about wolverine and i stayed in and took care of Dex.
hopefully back in the garden tomorrow, i really should take some before and after pics to show you. that's what ill do tomorrow, then you'll see the progress.
