Digging & Designing

It's been a good day today. Started off with a trip into town to get some fabric bits for a CC layout. Bought Oliver a plastic battle axe from Poundland with battle sounds, and you can't switch the bloody thing off. Think it's movement sensitive, but once moved it sounds like the Battle of bloody Hastings for about 10 minutes. Think that might end up being lobbed down the garden before sunrise....

Came home & found out that I am going to have one of my layouts published in 'Scrapbook Inspirations' magazine, which is great news. (Space allowing obviously) Will be really nice to take it & show everyone who doesn't 'get' my scrapping - oh, that's pretty much everyone I know then! (with a few notable exceptions of course). Also, there were a few of my layouts on the Scrapbook Sisters blog yesterday with some nice comments from them, and that is a great boost for my confidence.

In between a frenzy of scrapbook stuff today, have managed to get down to the allotment for a spot of digging with Oliver and also when cousin Jack came up to play (with Oliver!) got to do a load more digging in the garden, which is great too - job done & a good workout. Rustled up a Quorn, leek & mushroom pie for Mark's tea and so I feel like superwife today. LOL.

Incidentally, have lost over half a stone now & feeling pretty good about it actually. For all my dislike of dieting as I love food - I feel so much better when I restrict the amount I eat. AND there is a bit of room in my trousers for the first time in too long... AND have cut my wine intake down (a bit) too, which was previously an insurmountable task...
