im famous

well sort of. i was looking through a scrapbooking mag in Borders and found this photo as part of an article promoting a shop. i'd gone there for an all day crop with a class from shimelle laine. shimelle was taking photos but i didnt expect them to be published! dont i look like im concentrating hard!

ahhh

• so im a bit more chilled today, thank goodness!!


• yesterday i had to sit round my dad's waiting for a fridge/freezer to be delivered. i was so exausted from my nights that i crashed out for 45 minutes of dream free sleep. bliss. when the delivery did finally turn up, they ended up damaging the new vinyl floor. my dad was not happy!!


• i picked my polaroid sun600 up from the post office so i need to have a play to figure out the lighten/darken slide.


• back to work tomorrow for 3 days.

oh for...

..a holiday. *sigh* and i mean a proper 'get on a plane, visit foreign climes' holiday.

as i was driving in to work last night i suddenly realised, ive been feeling sick and getting headaches and feeling tired whenever i work. now im no expert, but this is possibly sounding like stress. 'how can she be stressed, she only works 3 day weeks!' i hear you cry! each shift is 12 hours, add to that an hour drive either side and i do 14 hour days, 3 in a row. recently we've had LOADS of really poorly children...the sort that dont leave how you hope. and i know thats my job but it's hard. i recently looked after a girl, who doctors could think of no reason why she wouldnt go home; i went back in on friday night and she'd died that morning; and it really shook me.

me and marcus are having niggly arguments. we never do anthing on our days off cause one or other of us is short of cash. yesterday for his breakfast, he ate the food i was taking for my night. it really made me angry!

*sigh*

here are a couple of pics. first my small polaroid stash...

and here's tom doing what he does best..sitting on our laps whilst on the computer..

i won..

the sun600 polaroid. for 99p! now that is a bargain.

also check out the polaroid travelling camera group on flickr. take a picture, sign the camera, post it on.

why?

am i so interested in buying polaroids?? im currently bidding on this one..a simple but classic camera...

and i cant help but be drawn to this barbie number!marcus thinks im crazy, but this is coming from the guy who was looking at spending £500 on a comic encased in plastic.

considering this is easter weekend, the weather here is a little odd.....freezing gales and snow! easter last year was blistering heat. id quite like it in the middle actaully!

and now to some new buys. first a cute dress (also available in a lighter blue with birds on...def a payday buy!)

and also a pants/socks combination, chosen purely for the patterns!those socks have parrots on!!
unfortunately thats all the interestingness going on here as im working tonight through to tuesday morning.

oh i have just bought the polaroid bampop stamp from red velvet art. check it here, only a $1 shipping!

new kit!

theres new kittyrobot kits up on their etsy! go check em out! first is the main 'owl deer' kit..

then there's a Hello Kitty add on! totally cute.
the main kit is $10 and the add on $8.

im just about to take Tom for his monthly weigh in at the vets. fingers crossed he's lost weight!!

later

ok so somehow Tom has put on a few grammes...

the outside world

Tom is now venturing outside..briefly. he would still rather stay indoors but is fairly happy to get a few minutes of fresh air!


now we've booked our wedding, i keep having ideas!! marcus is worrying we wont be
able to afford it though..any affodable suggestions?? something chilled and fun.

touching

video of the last polaroid instant plant.

set a date

we've set a date for our wedding! september 5th 2009. plenty of time to save! :-D

i was supposed to go to a crop today but have had such a horrendous headache the past couple of days that there was no point. plus im still suffering dizziness and even had to take my sickness tablets today. but i did have to stop in at the crop to drop a cj off (driven by marcus) and one of the ladies there does head massages for a living; guess what i had! an amazing free head massage. it really helped ease the headache.

but its not just headaches. im always tired at the moment and have no desire to do anything. i just cant be bothered. and i dont like it.

obsessed

so yeah i have developed a teeny tiny obsession with the now doomed polaroid instant camera. in particular, i now spend ages on flickr groups looking at pictures, and on ebay looking at old cameras. i love the idea of getting an sx-70; according to those in the know, this is the camera to own. unsaleable sells a variety of models, including this gorgeous (unfortunately out of stock) white version; seriously its beautiful. they also do loads of different films, and the obsessed in me just wants to play! i found this camera on ebay with a fab orange cover:
