Rooooccccckin'!!!

Today, just before my Rockin post I am sharing my last layout
created with the gorgeous 12 Pledges Kit from
Wearcrafts

This one is a lot plainer than the other 3 but I really enjoyed using my stamps
(with I neglect far too often) to create a bit of a background.

 I also made the flair using my Badge It
(I think that will be coming out more often from now on too!)
If you weren't lucky enough to grab the kit whilst it was still available
make sure you grab the March one at the end of the month
(I've seen the pictures!!!!)

So, onto my reasons for being happy this week....

Oh how I squealed for joy this week when that telephone call came.

For 5 years my Mum has been having yearly check ups after

overcoming bladder cancer.

On her last check up back in December they found "something"

and we've all been secretly worried that it had come back.

Mum was very brave and it didn't seem to bother her, 

like she had a sixth sense and knew it would all be OK.

She was RIGHT - happy days - she was given the 

ALL CLEAR

on Monday and a few tears of relief and
happiness flowed.

We tend to go through life thinking that these things really

aren't bothering us - they do and it affects how we behave

and how we react. 

Our sensitivity levels are reduced and maybe our tolerance to others changesduring those worrying times.

So here's my apology to those who I may have snapped at, not had the time for or generallyjust couldn't be arsed to listen to.

Normal service is resumed :)

Maybe we should all think about what others are going through before we judge their actions or words.

I wasn't looking forward to a  night out watching Bastille with DD

at the Manchester Apollo but I actually quite enjoyed it

and they probably have a new fan.

The support act was truly awful and the only words I could make out were

the "s" word and the "f" word.

Maybe I'm just getting too old!

DD had her Fire Cadet interview on Saturday.

Every two years they raise money go to a 3rd world country and build a school.

From 36 cadets, 16 will be chosen to go to Nepal in 2015

to help build a

Classroom in the Clouds

She is so desperate to go and thinks her interview went well.

Please keep your fingers crossed for her.

Roll on March 12th when we can either celebrate

with her or pick up the pieces!

Today, Friday the 7th of March is
TARGET DAY.
I joined Slimming World back in November and decided a few weeks ago
that today would be target day, no matter what I weighed, that was it.
So just over a stone and a half lighter and able to get into size 8 jeans...

To celebrate I'm having a bowl of my all time favourite food

for my lunch, risotto and garlic bread for tea
and a lovely bottle of red to share with DH
in front of the TV later.

I've had such a great week - what have you been up to?
Why not let us all know and link up with Virginia over on her blog post
