Pictures from Sept 8,9,10,11,12, 13.

Don't ask where the pictures from 6th and 7th are, I forgot to take them ~sigh~

LSNED not just what we learn but how we learn it

Something I have learnt of during the course of this class is how much more aware of how I am learning I am becoming. Having re-read that sentence I can see that I am becoming more convoluted in my thinking too.

Seriously, I was commenting on someone else's blog and realised that I am kind of standing to one side, in my mind, and taking note of all the tiny things I do for the first time, how I react in a new situation and how I store that new experience.
I love that I am reading new blogs. I wish I could spend more time reading them but Mr M does like my company and I prefer his to anyone else's.

Pictures of pages later.

LSNEDday 2,3,4,5

Got a bit behind with blogging but the pages are all done so I shall simply put them into this post

Learn something new Every Day 1

Today is the first day. What have I learnt? That I love my home when everyone else is out. That laughing out loud when I am totally alone is really liberating. That constant minor pain dulls my thinking and makes me really bad tempered and that scrapbooking with someone makes your mind fill with ideas.

Pretty good for a first day.

I have done my cover for LSNED. It has taken five goes to get it onto this stupid blog, probably because I am having a bimbo day today and everything seems to be written in scribble - and I am only reading in capital letters

I am determined to use only stuff I already have, no sneaking onto the intarwebby and ordering stuff. I want to get some space so I can ask for gift vouchers for all my favourite shops and get loads of goodies for Christmas. Mercenary? moi? you betcha!

Learn something New Every Day 2009

I have been haunting the forum trying to decide not to do the class again this year but knowing that secretly I really, really want to do it.
I have just decided not 20 minutes ago, that I will do the class and this time I will try to take pictures of my covers and pages and then post them on here. This is, afterall, what I set up this blog to do.
Now I have stopped kidding myself about not doing the class I feel much happier - Shimelle's classes always do this.

I won a prize! I am not sure what happened really but I have managed to win membership of Seasons Holidays - it said on the letter that it was worth £3750 and of course that cynical little voice in my head said "yeh, right". Well one of the things we were invited to do was attend an 'induction' at one of their resorts (We Chose Laugharne) and then the maintenance fee for 2010 would be waived. It seems that we can choose one week per year and our level allows us to choose from weeks in November or February.
Now this might just seem like a waste to some people BUT, we have a week every year in February because that is Mr Ms birthday. Now we can go away for a week to any of six resorts in the UK and Ireland and all it will cost is the travelling and the maintenance, which is about the cost of a week's holiday anywhere.
We have booked our 2009 week for February 2010 (the year starts March) and I am really looking forward to it. We are going to Clowance in Cornwall so we can go and see Pam and Frank and do as little as we like for a week.
In other news, Mr M has an infection in the skin of his leg. This is red and sore and painful and he actually went to the Dr about it. He has antibiotics (penicillin so no kissing for a while) and orders to keep his leg elevated. Good grief! medical advice to lie on the settee and watch TV with his leg propped up on a pile of cushions. It does mean he isn't sitting in the kitchen eating all the time so that's good. It also means that I could be driving our tank for a while.
Struggling to get the washing dry so everyone is running our of underwear. The tumble dryer keeps tripping the fuse box so we can't use that and there is no way I will allow either of the men in this house to go near it with a screw driver.
Next thing for me to do is to get the latest edition of the Gibbon Gazette out to the family. ... Better get started then
