I`m on a roll

My 18 year old daughter has had her L plates for nearly on a year now so she thought that she should start to get serious about learning to drive.."worst luck for me"

After much deliberation we came to a agreement to save my sanity that she go through a reputable driving school and let their drivers teach her the correct procedures, plus i`ll save money on hair dyes...:)

So far so good...5 lessons down and she is gaining confidence..

Now she wants me to start taking her out again, there goes my confidence.....

I have no doubt that she is a very good driver BUT!!!!!!...

On a different note I have been on a diet for well over 3 months now and surprisingly I am doing well...

Life in general was getting me down before we made the move to the new house and honestly I had let myself go....

I had to do something before all was lost....3 months on , two dress sizes smaller and nearly 20 kilos lighter i`m feeling pretty damn good...

Now I have more energy and a very positive attitude on life, I am starting to see more positives and when i`m happy we have a happy family....

All I need now is for the weather to warm up...

It`s been a bitterly cold and wet winter this year....

Plenty of rain for the little bit of garden I have managed to get going in between rain and hail...

Thankfully the next few days will be pleasant which means one thing for me, outside pulling weeds and visiting my favourite store Bunnings...

I really should have shares with that store...:)

A chance to blog (shock)..:)

I`ve found my way back here again..Time sure does pass you by!!!!

So much has been going on with my life of late there never seems to be enough hours in a day....

Now for a quick update since my last post....

The move went very smoothly....Very little in the breakage department and I had the house how I wanted it within a week...Inside that is, outside well that is still a work in progress....The weather hasn`t been very helpful in that department as it`s been bitterly cold and wet....But overall it is slowly coming together...

And ofcourse a new house meant new furniture..NATURALLY!!!!!

You know me, any excuse to hit the shops and I had a ball....:)

On to other news now....

I BECAME A GRANDPARENT IN THE MIDDLE OF jULY :)

A beautiful baby girl Isobella Grace....As much as it saddened me that my son had started a family so young he has made me proud as he is such a devoted father to my little grand baby....He is a changed young man and so grown up now in his attitude to family and what it means.....

They are very blessed to have such a beautiful baby who at this stage is so placid....She is a very good baby and yes i`ve put my hand up for baby sitting duties...lol

..............................................................................................................

And last but by no means least my great grandmother celebrated her 102nd birthday just last week....

Age is finally (and I say this with tongue in cheek) caught up with her....

A few months ago it was best decided that she now live in a nursing home as she was finding things a little difficult to manage on her own.....

She is so amazing though....At 100 years of age she was still getting out and about and loved to work in her garden....

I love her so much and she is an inspiration in my life....
