Saturday Treat

I have been ever so good lately, I can't remember the last time I had chocolate or sweets, I decided to choose my food wisely, making the right choices, I'm not calling it a diet because I panic at the word itself, I've not weighed myself because if when I check my weight I've lost I think that deserves a treat and if I gain I do the same for comfort.

Saturday is however treat day, not chocolate bars or sweets but a mahousive steak, medium rare with potatoe wedges and stuffed mushroom. Absolute bliss.

Sunshine After the Newcastle Floods

Well it was sunshine best part of today but you can bet your bottom dollar there would will be a massive clean up in progress, I think it’s all the rain that must have inspired me to get this made.

Floods in the Northeast (Newcastle)

Jeepers we had some weather going on in Tyne and Wear, late afternoon the sky turned black at work, we all even went outside to look at the sky, it was weird, so heavy.

These are some of the latest pictures from our area.

Girl with Sign - Make your own sentiment

This is a great way to add the sentiment of your choice, it doesn’t even have to be posh writing, in scrapbooking I was always in the frame of thinking that if you hand wrote your journaling someone is more likely to read it, I think that would work here too.
I love pink and green together it make such a sweet card.
My headache is subsiding into a dull ache after numerous steaming. Thank Goodness.
Hair is cut neat and tidy again another thank goodness.
My hospital appointment today was with the skin specialist for my psoriasis, I used to go to these appointment in absolute bits, worrying what treatment I would get next, not really liking the specialist that I was under, I used to get very weepy feeling that he didn’t listen or have a clue to my feelings.
However this year I was given a new doctor after a change around in the department, I can say with hand on heart he is the best in the country, no more worries before I see him, he listens and he explains and he chats to me as a person not a number, he asks my what I want and gives me options in treatment, he is one in a million so no more re shuffles please. The new nurse is lovely too, mind you the original nurses especially the sister were lovely, very kind.
