Was up and rushing about yesterday morning to get ready to go to Whitburn galaday. Everyone in Stevens family go down to his gran’s house to watch the walk go by. She always puts on a spread and I just love her caramel cup cakes. Their galaday is a big thing, the whole place gets involved and everyone has the party feeling in them. Its just like Christmas or New Year at galaday’s, sometimes better, with a really friendly atmosphere.
Stevens mum and dad looked after Kai and Dex for us last night so we could go out to the local pub. His sister and her boyfriend came out with us for the first time. Its his younger sister, she’s only 21, so’s her boyfriend. The pub had a band on who let a couple of younger guys have a shot. I don’t know if it was previously set up or if it was spontaneous cos the younger guys were quite rubbish but thought they were good. They were singing Oasis songs and the singer was standing like Liam Gallagher thinking he looked cool, I don’t like Liam Gallagher so he didn’t impress me. We all had a really good night, all happy and merry.
Got home from Whitburn today then got a phone call from mum saying that she was coming for a visit. She had gone to Billy’s and would be here a bit later. Linda phoned a wee while after that saying she was coming for a visit cos she was going out with her pal in Kirknewton. So I had a really nice afternoon today. The whole weekend has been good, spending time with Stevens family yesterday then mine today. Lovely.

A punch in the face and a pull of the hair wouldnt go a miss.
Went to Balerno high school last night for a parents meeting for all the new 1st years. The head teacher done a presentation on how great their school is and we met the guidance teacher for Kai’s house. Kai isn’t happy with the classes he’s in, he’s the only boy from his school in his class. I had a wee word with his guidance teacher (Mr McKinney) to see if they could do something about it because he really is not looking forward to going up to high school. I was told that their were 142 pupils from 17 different schools all going up to high school so he wont be the only one feeling all alone. I spoke to him about it, but I think he’s still a bit anxious, im sure he’ll be fine.
Before I went up to the high school, I took Kai back to the hairdressers to get his hair fixed from last week. The lassie hardly (if any) cut the back or sides of his hair and because his hair is SO THICK, it bulks out. I nearly cut it myself but I thought “no, im not having it, I paid bloody £9 for it and she hardly touched it!” so I phoned and was told to go back down. Its much better now apart from the sides are different lengths. I give up.
On the work front, my so called “pal” who I work with everyday, had gone to the supervisors and asked for another woman to be trained up in my job. (This was before I came back from maternity leave.)Apparently it’s a full time job, but ive been doing it for 2 years so I don’t know how that one was worked out. This “pal” gets everything she wants, she has influenced loads in the work. The only thing different about her and me is she is supposed to make sure all the work is done on time to leave in the post, but me and Pat, (the other woman who I work with) do that anyway, and she is full time. We have NEVER EVER had a breech (mistake) so their is no reason I should be moved on. She knows if someone else gets trained up in my job, I will be moved on to something else. She blatantly told me that she told this other woman that she would make sure she got her training. I said to her “what about me?” she said id be put down to indexing which is a mind numbing job. I was nearly greeting. So the next day, I went to my supervisor and told her I thought Sarah, (my “pal”) had far to much say in what goes on with the staff and that I would not be happy if I was moved to indexing. She said she would try to have me trained on something else and this is when I found out that my job is apparently a full time job. I AM NOT HAPPY! Anyway, she agreed that Sarah has too much say in things and her reigns do have to be pulled in, but the other team leader encourages her to be like that. In a way, im glad to be moved, especially as I wont be working with a two faced fucker any more. Im really angry that someone who is not my supervisor had so much say in MY work. I really want to punch her face in, but that wouldn’t be very professional!!

Louise Thomson???... HERE!
Thought id better check in.
Was at Kai’s leavers assembly tonight, it was really great and a bit emotional, I fair enjoyed myself so a did. We had to take Dex with us. Steven was going to stay at home and put him to bed but I wanted Steven to come too. It started at 7pm that’s after Dex’s bed time, so we got him all ready for bed and took his bottle with us. At the start he was all excited (Dex) and was making all these grunting noises. I was like “oh no!” As soon as it started he went all quiet. Great things these dummy’s. Kai was great, we were right squished up in the front row about a foot and a half away from the P7s, so I could see Kai close up. They all sang “we will rock you” and “the greatest day of our lives”, that’s when Dex fell asleep. Next all the weans did a fashion show kinda thing with hats they made ages ago. Every time one came on they got a big clap, that’s when Dex woke up. The finale was they all played Brazilian drums and percussion, and as you can imagine, it was so loud you could feel it all through your body. Dex was sitting on my knee, I had one side of his head pressed to my chest and my hand clamped over his other ear to block as much sound out as I could. He didn’t even flinch with the noise. I’m thinking he either loves loud music or he’s deaf!
Work has been good. The weekends are fast again!
Going to bed now, night night.

Knocked out with that punch!
Came home around 1am after Stacey’s party. Went straight into the bathroom where I stayed for about an hour. My hair was tied back, so you can imagine what kind of state I was in. It was horrible. I’m putting it down to mixing my drink with the punch Mandy made. I only had 3 of them, I was thinking about Sally’s party today, and trying to watch what I was drinking. It was when I got home I realized just how drunk I was. I couldn’t stand properly, staggering around the bathroom, having to grab a hold of things to stop me falling. Terrible way to be. So this left me still in a state when I woke up. There was no way I could have safely drove through to Glasgow, the bbq was off for me. Gutted, I really wanted to go.
Today I’ve just been lying around waiting to feel better. Watched some “come dine with me” and made the dinner. That’s about it. Going in for a long relaxing bath then off for an early night. Really need it.

Thats the rain on again.
It was Kirknewton gala day today, we went over for a wee while but there was not much happening. There was however an escape artist there who was quite good. His patter was great, got everyone to have a wee laff. The weather was raining off and on, not like last Saturday when the heavens opened, but enough for your hood to be put up.
I’ve been really tired this week, I don’t know if its going back to work or if I need iron tables again? I’ve got some left over from my pregnancy so ill take them for a week to see how I am, you cant take too much, your body just gets rid of it.
I started my diet again on Monday, I’m doing all right but Steven’s not doing his job. I told him because he’s not working, his job is to motivate me for exercises and keep me going at it. Well he’s not done it! I wanted to go out walking, but he didn’t motivate me! Aww well, I suppose the weather was to bad for walking.
Going to wee Stacey’s 21st birthday party tonight. Steven was invited too but we cant get a baby sitter, so its me out on my own again. Ill have to be home kinda early because its Auntie Sally’s 60th BBQ tomorrow afternoon, Steven still cant drive, so ill have to be fit to drive to Glasgow.

Eeee up
Been catching up with loads this week and never got round to my blogger.
Well that’s week one of my work all over with. Ive been having some trouble getting any holidays booked in work, but after going to my manager and having a look on the self service HR web site I managed to get most of them sorted. I think they were trying to pull a fast one on me, thinking they could get away with it, but they don’t know me and time off work. I would have phoned HR if I couldn’t get it sorted, they were trying to give me my 2 week summer holidays 4 weeks apart! “No way!” I thought, that’s just NOT happening. No one called me to let me know any cut off dates (which have been changed since I was last there), or told me if I even had a job to come back to! They eventually said, after phoning HR themselves, that if I hadn’t come back when I did, they wouldn’t have got cover for me so they have to honour my holidays! Yeah!
Dex’s new sound this week is Eeeeeeeeeeeee. Last week it was da da da, the week before was ba ba ba, im really not to keen on this one. He says it ALL the time, even when he’s crying its EeeeeeeeeeeeeEEeeeeeeeeeeEEeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Not impressed.

Hi ho hi ho, da da da da da da...
First day back to work and it really wasn’t to bad. I’d forgotten everything and had to be shown again, all my log-on id’s were gone. So I was sorting all them out for most of my 4hrs. I found out I have all my holidays for the year still to take, but the problem is, all of the holidays are taken during summer apart from 1 week at the end of July, at least its not the end of August, I want to spend some time with Kai over the holidays. So I don’t know what they are going to propose for me and all my holidays, cos I cant carry them over to next year.
Mum phoned and told me she was on platform through this way. Took Kai and Katrina with me and got back at 8.30. Katrina loves when she gets a reading from my mum, so she gave her a wee one before we left.
Came home and Steven’s took over the telly for tonight, the football’s on and its not even Rangers he’s watching, its USA v ITA!!
Work again tomorrow. I must say, it’s a bit strange all this working talk. Have to get into it again.

Oh Noah! Not again!
Well, we didn’t win on the lottery last night, thought id just tell you that.
Mum dropped through this morning on her way home from her weekend in Edinburgh, she stayed about an hour then went through to Billy’s on her way back home.
Billy and Lynn came over for a visit with Liam this afternoon. We got the weans outside with their toys, although it wasn’t sunshine, it was quite warm, until the rain came. It started off quiet nicely, just a light drizzle, so we headed back inside. I had to go to the shop for milk so I got my hooded jacket on, I was alright for this wee shower. Halfway down the stairs I heard Steven shouting something like “you cant go out in that”, but I was brave and took hold of the door handle. When I opened the door the noise hit me first, it was PELTING with rain, so much so that I froze and said… ”fuck!” About I turned to go back up the stairs. A’m no goan oot in that! It was the same as yesterday, absolutely teaming down! After about 5 mins it started to go off a bit, so I got Murray and off we went.
We were about 5 steps away from the shop when I saw the lightning then straight away was a massive BANG!!! Loud as fuck!!! I even got such a fright I jumped! All the lights were out in the shop and the tills were off, but I did manage to get what I needed, and pay tomorrow. Got home and that’s when it really started. It was WORSE than yesterday, (and that’s saying something) it was like it was all coming down at the same time, not any drops of rain, more like puddles of rain falling from the sky. Meanwhile, the thunder and lightning are at it big time. Then the hailstones came on and the whole place was almost white. I had rivers and lakes outside my house, the park was turning into the sea, I’ve never seen anything like it! So exciting!
That’s me back again, I just got kicked off the pc cos Kai’s xbox was broke and it was that lightning that did it! I just overheard Steven on the phone to his dad and he was saying to him that it was frightening! Torrential wasn’t the word for it! And he was waiting for Noah to come floating down the street! I love thunder storms.
While I was waiting for the computer back I was ironing my clothes for going back to work tomorrow, and I was thinking to myself that it wont be to bad. If I was to take all the maternity leave off it would be much harder to go back. One thing that im dreading is I feel really fat. I stopped my last diet at Easter time when all the chocolate was about. I was doing really well then too. This time im going for the exercise and get into it. I really HAVE to do it. ‘Keep thinking positive thoughts Louise.’ I have to dress up for work so I can eventually get out of these jeans! That’s all ive wore, straight leg, boot cut and ankle brushers. So if im getting dressed up for my work, ill want to look better so maybe this will encourage me to keep it up. Ive got loads of clothes ive kept for when im slim again and I want to be wearing them. Christmas time and ill fit into them again, I HAVE to. That Easters got a lot to answer for!
(sorry for swearing mum but i had to)

I LOVE the shows!!
The top pic is of the wee note i got from Laura when she sent me the fridge magnet, and the others are of Shannon and Kai with their braces on and Billy and Kai. I see more of John in Billy nearly everytime i see him!
Got all ready to go down to East Calder gala, and as soon as we were all ready, the heavens opened. The thunder sounded as soon as we got to the car then when we were driving off, I saw the lightning. There’s no other word than it was f’n PISHING down!!! It was like a flash flood, water everywhere, puddles all over the road, but I did get a free car wash. Well, as you’d guess, no-one was there and anyone who was there was either sheltering or running. So we took a wee trip to the garden centre and took the weans in (Kai’s pal Andrew was with us) for a juice and cake. By the time we got out, the rain was off, so we made our way back up to the shows. The boys wouldn’t go on anything! I was trying to get them on some of the rides but the pair of them were total woosies! They just wanted shots on the stalls, well I suppose if that’s what they like eh.
Going to watch “what happens in Las Vegas” on telly tonight and have a wee vodie or two.
Oh! And I put 2 lucky dips on the lottery as well tonight. I never put the lottery on, so we’ll see if I get lucky!

Its blowing a gale here!
Thursday morning I went to the dentist to get the 2 fillings done I was talking about. I got 2 jags, one at the top and one at the bottom. I’m never bothered by the dentist but when I came out I was really shaking! You could even see my hands all shaky. Maybe part of it was I had asked about getting a fixed brace, and because I get free dental treatment I thought it’d cost nothing. Wrong. Around £2,000 per fixed brace and £30 just to see the orthodontist!
Up the road then out to potter about in the garden, ended up staying out till 5oclk burning wood from behind the shed. Its all starting to really take shape now.
After dinner took Kai to football game, got home, waited 30 mins, then had to go back for him. I was a wee bit early so I got to watch almost all the second half. It started pelting down and I didn’t have a hood so I got totally soaked waiting for the game to finish. I quite like watching them play, when the weathers good.
Friday
Didnt get over the door till after 12 today. Dex had another long nap, this time in the morning. he stayed in bed till after 11. So i fed him then went out the back where Steven had cut back the big connifers. I wanted them really chopped back to give us more garden space, and thats what he did, but now there are big spaces for the wind to come through. It still looks good, just a bigger breeze. I told him not to do that again!
Steven’s mum and dad came through to see us just before my mum came, they didn’t stay long, mum was going out in Edinburgh for the weekend so stopped in on the passing. Ann and Jim were at West Calder getting a new bed and dropped in on their way home. A little while later, Billy and Shannon came for a couple hours, gave them dinner then Kai and Billy had a bit of a carry on trying to see who's the strongest. Thats their thing, but now Kai's getting stronger, Billy's running away to Newzealand!!! He's getting feart now.

Mr Postman
Well I got an absolutely lovely start to my Wednesday. Yesterday Steven got a phone call from someone asking for our postcode, I asked who it was and he said he wasn’t allowed to say!? He should have just said his mum or someone but no. So that was me, wondering. The postie came so I went down stairs to get it and it was a handwritten envelope. Oooooh says I! Who’s this from? As soon as I looked at the hand writing I knew it was Laura straight away. The wee sweetheart had made me a fridge magnet and posted it to me, it was soooo cute. She spelled instructions as “instuckshoins” Awwww.
Dex slept for nearly 3hrs this afternoon! I didn’t want to wake him, he must have needed it, his body’s way of getting rid of the cold, which by the way, has caused his nose to fill up with snot that needs wiping constantly. I cant stand seeing weans with snotty noses, especially ones where its blowing bubbles! (sorry Linda)
Oh, nearly forgot. Its official, i start back to work on Monday! Cant believe im going back just before the beginning of the summer holidays. I hope I can still get some holidays when Kai's off, i'll feel like i have a cheek asking when ive just had 9mths off.

pearly whites
Ok Saturday
Just about to get ready to go to the Midcalder Gala to meet pals. Dex was in bed sleeping but started to cough so I went in to check he was Ok when he started being sick. I whipped him out of bed and took him through to the living room to clean him up, it was round the back of his head and all of a sudden “whoosh” a massive flow straight out in front of him, projectile vomit everywhere. To be on the safe side, I called NHS 24. The nurse made an appointment for him at the out of hours docs up at the hospital, I knew he was ok but just wanted to check. (can never be to careful these days. See Linda’s blog.) So doctor checked him over, everything was fine. He just has a cold but its not in his chest.
Was out waiting on the bus to go to Midcalder when a taxi pulled up at my neighbours house from the shops. I asked the driver how much to Midcalder and he said he’d give me a lift!!! I asked him if he was going that way anyway, he said he’d make sure he’d go that way! What about that then eh? Free taxi! So that was me all hyper and excited! I couldn’t believe it. So met up with said pals in the pub, without Steven or weans. Later on we all went up to Tracey's house and she chucked us all out at 9 so then went on to Manday’s till I went home about the back a’11.
Sunday
Nothing much happening on Sunday, just the usual tidy up, make dinner etc… I always do this on a hangover day, as little as possible.
Monday
Kai got his braces in today. He had asked for blue and white bands along the metal but they ended up putting red and blue and it cant be changed for another 5 weeks. He hates wearing them, keeps saying how annoying they are. I felt so sorry for him, he can hardly eat anything. I gave him some soup for his dinner and a piece of bread. He dipped ONE piece in his soup and couldn’t eat any more, it hurt too bad. Kai’s not one for passing when it comes to food, just hope this doesn’t put him off eating, he’s already a big skinnymalinck.
Tuesday
Went to shops for some soft stuff for Kai to eat. When he got home from school he came into the kitchen asking what we got him. He must have been starving. Steven showed him what we got and pulled out lots of Dex’s food. Kai looked at me to show he knew Steven was joking but saw my face was serious and he almost turned pale! We were joking, it was such fun.
He was to take a packed lunch in today and Steven gave him, 2 yogurts, 2 peaches, juice and a packet of quavers. This is before we had been to the shops. I asked him how he got on with it, and he said it was horrible, everyone else had hamburgers and cookies, all his favourite things in fact. Och he’ll be back to normal in a couple of days.

Just about to get ready to go to the Midcalder Gala to meet pals. Dex was in bed sleeping but started to cough so I went in to check he was Ok when he started being sick. I whipped him out of bed and took him through to the living room to clean him up, it was round the back of his head and all of a sudden “whoosh” a massive flow straight out in front of him, projectile vomit everywhere. To be on the safe side, I called NHS 24. The nurse made an appointment for him at the out of hours docs up at the hospital, I knew he was ok but just wanted to check. (can never be to careful these days. See Linda’s blog.) So doctor checked him over, everything was fine. He just has a cold but its not in his chest.
Was out waiting on the bus to go to Midcalder when a taxi pulled up at my neighbours house from the shops. I asked the driver how much to Midcalder and he said he’d give me a lift!!! I asked him if he was going that way anyway, he said he’d make sure he’d go that way! What about that then eh? Free taxi! So that was me all hyper and excited! I couldn’t believe it. So met up with said pals in the pub, without Steven or weans. Later on we all went up to Tracey's house and she chucked us all out at 9 so then went on to Manday’s till I went home about the back a’11.
Sunday
Nothing much happening on Sunday, just the usual tidy up, make dinner etc… I always do this on a hangover day, as little as possible.

cough cough, sook sook
Awww wee Dex is’nay well, he’s got a bad cold and he’s coughing all over the place. He’s also blowing wee bubbles from his nose and wanting cuddled all the time. Wee soul. Cant even do anything for him, he cant get any cough medicine until he’s 2, so we’re just putting Karvol on a tissue beside him at night. Thought he was going to be awake all night tonight, took him ages to be left on his own for him to go to sleep tonight, every time we left him or even moved away from him he woke up with a wee pitiful greet. Awww
Went to shops today to get some food for Dex, stayed in the rest of the day. Only watched some telly, nothing exciting.

juicey eyes
had to try this
THANKS JOHN!!!
Oh my god!! you have to see this mum, click it! i found it today, what a blast from the past, got quite emotional too.
right i think ive fixed it. its just the commonwealth games 1986 when i was in it. you dont see me, so you might not even be bothered to look at it. i found it through Rachel's b/f site on youtube when i was showing Steven his mum totally steaming, so much so that she was like Rab C Nesbit. its the first time ive saw a woman like him, and she wasnt trying! so thats when i stumbled upon the dance routine i did when i was 12. i really felt myself fill up and tried my hardest not to cry with emotion. i phoned Mandy later on and told her about it and she called me a "fanny" for nearly greetin!
when John made a link, the other week to "mama he's making eyes at me" i started to sing it to Dex and he laughs at me! i think he likes it. another thanks to John!
Big Brother 10 started tonight so that was Steven's eyes rolling when i told him. i think he secretly likes it.

squished feet?
God, I forgot my password AGAIN! Thought I wasn’t going to get signed in tonight.
Up early to take Steven to interview this morning. I asked him how it went, he said ok but the shifts are 3 days dayshift and 2 back shift. That’s no good to me at all cos we’d still need a child minder, so he cant take it. He also didn’t ask what the wages were, saying that he’d NEVER ask about money. Well that’s one thing id always ask. You wouldn’t want to be waiting to hear if you’ve got the job only to find out the wages are crap AFTER you start!
I signed up for the “Mr Motivator’s bikini diet” on GMTV web site today. It starts on June 15th, I think if I have email sent to me reminding me to get fit, I just might stay on track? I really REALLY have to get into this and loose lots of weight. I’m going to start taking Dex for long walks up the road towards Balerno, its about 3 miles there and back. The only thing with it is the pavements are really skinny, but the road isn’t very busy. Think ill take Steven with me the first time in case I pass out!
Kai went to a football tournament tonight with his school. It was a last minute thing. They lost all 3 matches. I blame the socks, they gave him a pair that would fit a size 1, he’s going into a size 8!!!
Had my hair cut today. I always think id love to have a different style, other than the long hair ive had for the last 15 yrs. Jayne (my hairdresser) asked what id like to have done today, and I just looked at her and she said “a wee to-tay bit?” I said “och, take 2inches off” “what! Will I give you a valium before I start!” says she, “Erm, ok, just take the 1inch off then.” phew that was a close one!

scary moment
My turn for Dex this morning, he got up at 7.30! That’s the latest for weeks and weeks, its normally about 5.30, so I was really glad of the extra long lie. Woke Kai up for school, that’s him all better now.
Got a phone call from mum telling me Robbie was in hospital!! He fell of a bike getting a backie and gave himself a hairline fracture on his skull! What a shocker! She said he was ok but that didn’t stop me worrying. Txt Linda to tell her to keep me up-dated. She phoned later on and told me he really was ok. Was going to phone John but thought better of it, as in his blog he said he was really tired, so I thought, being on the other side of the world, he’d be in his bed.
As for the rest of the day, went out to the garden to catch the last of the rays. Supposed to be back to normal Scottish weather from now on. Oh well, it was lovely while it lasted. But maybe with a wee bit of hope, it could be sunny again tomorrow?
Steven’s interview for Curray’s is tomorrow morning, so we’ll all have to be ready to go out at 9. And he’s had a shave! A clean one at that! He normally uses the trimmer to give him a wee bit stubble, which I like, but this time (because of his interview) he done the full shebang!

not sleepy time yet!
Up early today, and it wasn’t my turn for Dex! And talking about Dex, i totally forgot to say that he has two bottom teeth!!! They were begining to come through last week and one poked through on Friday, the other appeared on Saturday!
Kai was off school today, he’s been complaining all weekend of not feeling well and he had a rash yesterday on his belly. Think he’s a bit better now, sometimes when I ask, he’s ok, then he’s not to well again.
Down to the shops, needed it, the cupboards were looking quite bare.
Back up again and gave Kai and Dex their lunch, then it was out to the garden again for us! Kai and Dex stayed in, Kai was keeping an eye on his wee brother.
Had another Barbie for dinner then back in again to get Dexy ready for bath and bed. Just when he had his bandages on, waiting for his bottle, he started to fall asleep. Tried keeping him awake but he just wasn’t having it, so funny!
Uploading some more vids on youtube for y’all to have a look. Including Kai and me trying to stop Dex from falling asleep.
p.s JOHN your comments are not working again. how do you link a youtube to your blogger? i tried the way the help page tells you but it doesnt have the option in youtube.
