So Little Miss and I just got back from the Market and the shops. We got to the Market at 9am sharp and it was already filled with loads of people, here I was thinking we could actually have room to move!
I spent money I shouldn't have, oh well, I cannot pass up a bargain, especially at market's. I think I just wont tell the Man about the $1 cute neclaces I brought 5 of, the ceramic planter, the doll for Little Miss, the 3 Canna Lilys and the small vintage metal tin's.
Little Miss woke up at 3:30am and has not slept yet, she is tired and now sick with a cold and a nasty cough, bless her.
Saturday my mum, nana, aunt and cousin came to visit us for her birthday which was great. Little Man ended up going to stay at my mum's for a few days because he absolutely idolises, loves and adores my cousin Michael who is down until Christmas Eve.
I am so incredibly tired. Today we went into Toys R' Us, boy that was such a mistake. Do you think I could pull Little Miss away from ALL those pink boxes filled with nothing but Barbie, Dora etc?! Mental note to self - In future, go alone!!
I was starting to become really frustrated with her because she wasn't listening but then again, she is sick, tired and had never been in that particular store until today and I guess that would be like me going into Spotlight or Riot Art for the first time, hours upon hours could be spent there, I seriously could live there!
So now she is laying down in the lounge watching her new Christmas Dora DVD courtesy of Carol with a nice warm drink of milk. I feel terrible I got frustrated with her today and just hope she goes to sleep very soon so I can snuggle in with her.
Changing the subject, isn't this weather fabulous?! We finally have some summer weather! No more faux summer, let the sun shine!
Enjoy your Sunday.

birthday wishes....
Little Miss turned 3 today.
The day started off quite early, she woke at 1am and did not go back to sleep until about 6am, so that meant we all slept in and arrived at Kinder late, no biggie though.
I ran around like a headless chook on speed. There was not enough hours in the day for what I had to do! Pick up lay-by's, wrap present's, write on cards, buy a cake for Kinder and another for later that night, food shopping and going to the bank, phew!
She absolutely loved having a chocolate mud cake with her friends at Kinder, I will make sure to upload pictures soon, it sucks having to borrow than Man's camera because he needs it for work so that means I have to remember to get it out of his car and upload them on the computer.
The Man's side of the family came over, his sister, her DP and their 3 girl's and his parent's. She had an absolute ball considering she didn't have that much sleep and the night ended up being a late one, but it's OK, it was her day.
All I can say is thank goodness we did not have to get up early the next day, we all needed the sleep in!

oh how i love a bargain!
So Little Man is in Kinder today, which meant Little Miss and I could go shopping, well try to. See, Little Miss often gets distracted and consumed by everything around her and tends not to listen and do as I say, none the less, I wanted to go shopping.
Theres a place I often LOVE to visit, as many bargains are found there and it's not just any shop, it's a Recycled shop, one that sits on the same site as the local Tip, although it does not stink, but strangely enough, I don't think a Tip smell would disturb my needs for a great bargain hunt!
This place, sells people's unwanted things that they are about to throw out, obviously in the Tip. They sell all kinds of stuff, at cheap as chips prices, better than your market, garage sale and Opp Shop outlet's.
So today I scored 4 wooden display cubes, brand new european pillow with it's case, an almost new white ever so soft blanket, a teacup holder I'll be doing up for a jewelry holder and about 25 different sewing pattern's, ranging from Burdastyle to Simplicity and a few mag's of sewing stuff too. Ofcourse Little Miss couldn't help but pick up a small pink teddy that will put put through the wash to get rid of any nasties.
I got all that for a measely $15! I was exstatic and very happy with myself. Let it be known that I do not have a sewing machine yet, well, a small one, that I think are for kiddie's, but I am getting one for Christmas! I cannot wait to start making things for the kiddie's, myself and other fun stuff.
I also dropped by into Rivers. Man, I did not know that this Shop was OK. I can get away with buying kid's sized shoes, which is great because it costs less but it's even better when they are on special! I got Little Miss 2 pair's of shoes and got one pair for myself and paid just over $20 for.
I'll upload picture's of my finds and shoes later, they were just too good to pass up! xo.

i am blogging again!
So, some crafty muma's have inspired me to get blogging again. With a quick search, I absolutely fell in love with this template, it's SO cute and best of all, free.
It's almost 2:30am, not too sure why I am still awake when I know I should be sleeping, especially, when Little Miss has been waking up about this time and refusing to back to sleep and insisting on watching the cBeebies on TV!
So, short and sweet for now and I promise to be back with something later! xo.
