This happened last week but I only got round to it today. See I am such a naughty little blogger, but at least I am still keeping it up in a manner. Me and my Best Friend were in the village on our way for coffee last week, when who did I spy in our pretty little village Mr Philip Spencer of Location, Location, Location doing a bit of filming. But of course what did I do instead of going up and asking for his autograph I burst into a fit of the giggles! I always do this when I am near someone pretty famous, I just think it is one of those knee jerk reactions when I meey people I dont know I just stand there like a giggling fool.
It gave my best friend a good old chuckle to say the least. But when we had finished coffee they were still filming in the village so we had to walk past them again! And then it happened yet again. They must of thought I was on something as the looks they gave me well were erm pretty interesting. But it gave my best friend a pretty good laugh.
I think it is a coping mechanism with me, its like when someone asks me directions I tell them I dont live in the area as I am petrified that I would send them the wrong way! Or even worse try to grab me! My husband always looks at me as if I am a strange fish when I do this and I suppose I am in a way, I just dont like people in my space and I always freak out!
My dad had his supercar experience that everyone bought him for his birthday last Saturday and everyone enjoyed it, even if it was a lot of waiting around and I ended up entertaining kids as they were getting bored with it all. The cars were really nice and I mean really nice, I think my dad might sell his caravan and buy an astin Martin! No only kidding he couldnt do that. But he did look like a child in a candy store and loved driving all of them. He had this rosy little glow when he was done and I think he was as high as a kite with it all. Ahh bless him. I love seeing my dad happy!!! He makes me smile all the time!!!

May Day My day!!!
Me and DS1 went to the may day fare and I soon ended up on my own!!!! He had found some of his friends he hangs around with and decided to go with them, which was fine by me. I was quite happy for him to wander off and to have some fun as he isnt a baby anymore and I want to show him that I can trust him when he is out with his friends.
So I wandered amongst the stalls on my own, missed out on a few bits and peices, I guess I just wasnt quick enough at the end of the day. Plus I aint into grabbing stuff off people that is so not me. I have lost stuff by putting it down to think about it. So hence now I keep a tight hold of it. But I was a tad disapointed as I was hoping for more bargains, but I was happy with my lot and I couldnt grumble on what I got. But the prices were quite high and I heard a few people complain. Sometimes I think people just want stuff for nothing, but other times you can get bargains. I got a pair of Nike trainers on my way home today for a steal. The manager thought they were worn out!!! But they were brand new with hardly any wear on them. I kept looking at them and then I decided to go with it and I am glad I did. It was the style of trainer I think put her off them. But never mind!!!!
I cant understand why they charge sky high prices for well crap basically and uber cheap prices for good quality items. I am just baffled by it all. I know they have outlay etc..... But dont they realise that this is going to put people off going in there. If they kept their prices low they wouldnt have any problems about hitting targets!!! And they wouldnt have to do bargain rails neither and stock would pass through a lot quicker and I mean a lot quicker!!!! Since I have discovered the joy of the charity shop etc......... I dont really like buying new. Why should I give some fat cat a big bonus for the shite they sell why should I? Plus I would rather benefit home charities as they need all the help they can get. Plus I have a conscence not like the MD of Primark and the other big retailers who let kids work in crap conditions for crap pay. It boils my blood. Sorry rant over.

Getting there
Well I am slowly getting there. I still dont feel right and I am still low on Iron. Whatever this bug was it really did kick my ass!!! I want to sleep on a day, but not on a night. Boy I am screwed!! My head is upside down. I am all over the place. I cannot focus on anything at the moment!!!
I just want to be on my own all the time, I dont like people disturbing me. God what on earth am I turning into the grinch!!!
The weather isnt helping, its more like winter than spring!! I had to get my woolies out and start to wear them again its that cold. I want to see spring lambs in the fields dancing in the sunlight and lots and lots of dafs! But mother nature has decided that the weather must stay cold for now.
I just fancy a doona day and stay under it all day. But when you have a family to care for it is easier said than done. I love looking after them it gives me purpose and it makes me smile and it makes me proud to be a mother and a wife. As that is one of life's great achievements being a parent. And how anyone could ever hurt a child is beyond me. They were children once.
I am looking forward to the long weekend as it is bankholiday monday and were we live we have a may day fair which I love going to as it supports our local hospice. Which my very special second mother passed away and they did a brilliant job of looking after her. So I always give if I can, buy supporting the charity shops and local events. As they are always looking for money. Yes their items may priced on the high side, but to me every single penny is worth it. So always support your local hospice as one day you might need their help or care.
