So the challenge to myself was:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OnfA-u8CAdg/SmI93VM21fI/AAAAAAAAAM4/-ztgd0SCrlo/s1600-h/scan0001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 202px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OnfA-u8CAdg/SmI93VM21fI/AAAAAAAAAM4/-ztgd0SCrlo/s320/scan0001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359914527317480946" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><ol><li>To create something completely different</li><li>Make it large -A4 (I know this isn't huge but believe me to me its gigantic!)]</li><li>Colour it</li><li>FINISH it!! </li></ol>I did all of this for the first time probably ever!!

I have never done anything like this before so a big ty to her for tagging me and a big breath for me as I try and do this! lol :)<br /><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /></div>1. I really hate tissues being scrunched or their layes being rubbed together - I know I probably sound nuts, but trust me they have layers, layers that to me sound like fingernails down a blackboard! - Kitchen towel and thankfully toilet tissue isn't so bad, its mainly ordinary tissues and some serviettes that causes my goosebumps!!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /></div>2. I wear too much black, I am trying to change this, but its hard! I recently saw a tv show that 'proved' black doesn't make you look any smaller infact on a test they did - they had boxes of the same weight in various colours and asked several people which they thought was the heaviest box most (if not all I can't remember) chose the black one!! I know! and i'm still wearing too much black!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /></div>3. I have very small hands, they are quite weak and painful most of the time too, have been to dr's but they don't know what causes the pain etc :(<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /></div>4. Last year I turned 30, I was seriously scared (if scared is the right word) - i'm not even sure what of, its just a number isn't it and I have felt 30 most of my adult life so its not like I suddenly felt like I had to grow up or anything. Not long before my birthday I saw the film The Guardian and in that was the most amazing speech from one of the characters: <a href="http://www.moviesoundclips.net/movies1/guardian/old.wav">http://www.moviesoundclips.net/movies1/guardian/old.wav</a> (Found this online)<br />Incase the link doesn't work: <b><br />Senior Chief Ben Randall:</b><i>"When the heck did we get old?"</i><br /><b>Maggie McGlone:</b><i>"Hell, I've always been old Ben. You know what though, I don't mind. I mean if my muscles ache, it's because I've used 'em. It's hard for me to walk up them steps now, its because I walked up 'em every night to lay next to a man who loved me. I got a few wrinkles here and there, but I've layed under thousands of skies with sunny days. I look and feel this way, well because I drank and I smoked. I lived and I loved, danced, sang, sweat and screwed my way thorough a pretty damn good life if you ask me. Getting old ain't bad Ben. Getting old, that's earned."<br /><br /></i>Hearing this part of the film changed the way I thought, i've known too many people who have died way too young so i'm very lucky to be 30.<br /><br /><i></i><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /></div><i><br /></i>5. There is one film guaranteed to make me laugh and cry everytime I see it<i> - </i>The Bucket List<br />I won't spoil if for those of you that haven't seen it but the seen of 'laugh til I cry' has me in stitches everytime I see it, and by the end of the film I'm always tearful!<i><br /><br /></i><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /><div style="text-align: left;">6.My favourite city is Manchester, love the nw of England generally too. Haven't travelled a great deal, and although I enjoy it when we get the chance I don't have a yearning to go everywhere, there are places i'd love to see though.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /><div style="text-align: left;">7.My feet are now smaller than when I was 11/12 :/ - I know thats pretty strange, at least I think it is?! but I am now 1-2 shoe sizes smaller than I used to be!<br /><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /><div style="text-align: left;">8.I generally send more than 500 text messages per month, I don't know if this is alot or not?! I'm not a teenager (as i've already stated) and I don't have dozens of friends either :/<br /><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /><div style="text-align: left;">9.I love quotes and sayings especially inspirational ones. I could list alot of them but this blog post would go on forever, so instead I will just put the one that I went to the trouble of printing out and framing, its hanging in our lounge- Ordinary people build worldss within worlds, ordinary people make a good life out of living.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~<br /><div style="text-align: left;">10.I'm not as self confident as i'd like to be, or maybe used to be, but in some ways more than I have been (lol yes i'm confused too). In some ways i'm over confident, at times don't care what other people think, yet in other ways i'm always happy to be in the background, never really want to be noticed, for good or bad. I came out of a bad relationship 6 years ago and am now far more confident in myself than I was, so there's hope yet :)<br /><br /><br />Theres my 10 random facts - oh have just discovered i've been tagged again - <a href="http://lilize.blogspot.com/">'In My Life'</a>, erm will this count for both? or should I do another 10 (help)<br /><br />I read many great blogs, it was very hard to choose just 10 but these are the 10 bloggers i'm tagging!<br /><br /><a href="http://monica-wong.blogspot.com/">Taste of my life </a><br /><br /><a href="http://2kute.blogspot.com/">2Kute</a><br /><br /><a href="http://christiecottage.blogspot.com/">Christie Cottage</a><br /><br /><a href="http://nataliesimmons.blogspot.com/">Create Share Bless</a><br /><br /><a href="http://josiebean-onthescene.blogspot.com/">josiebean!</a><br /><br /><a href="http://abstractedmikey.blogspot.com/">Simple - Yet Effective</a><br /><br /><a href="http://norademirjian.blogspot.com/">Nora's Blog</a><br /><br /><a href="http://whatwouldsuziedo.blogspot.com/">What Would Suzie Do?</a><br /><br /><a href="http://craftfloozy.blogspot.com/">The Craft Floozy</a><br /><br /><a href="http://hooligan-girl.blogspot.com/">Hooligan Girl</a><br /></div></div><br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6295742221347707622-7462151426270537731?l=thisislifeislifeas.blogspot.com'/></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ltf7HWezB56c_NAcsObNh9RnYQk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ltf7HWezB56c_NAcsObNh9RnYQk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ltf7HWezB56c_NAcsObNh9RnYQk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ltf7HWezB56c_NAcsObNh9RnYQk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=nbtF_9UX7_w:s8vOtqGs7mE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=nbtF_9UX7_w:s8vOtqGs7mE:4cEx4HpKnUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?i=nbtF_9UX7_w:s8vOtqGs7mE:4cEx4HpKnUU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=nbtF_9UX7_w:s8vOtqGs7mE:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=nbtF_9UX7_w:s8vOtqGs7mE:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?i=nbtF_9UX7_w:s8vOtqGs7mE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/QAqM/~4/nbtF_9UX7_w" height="1" width="1"/>LifeIshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12627164231278765341lifeislifeas@yahoo.co.uk4http://thisislifeislifeas.blogspot.com/2009/07/tagged-for-10-random-facts.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6295742221347707622.post-78954159722962830692009-07-09T07:00:00.000+01:002009-07-09T07:00:01.066+01:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OnfA-u8CAdg/SlEQnb5bPII/AAAAAAAAAMo/ZeStgCVAE20/s1600-h/CIMG4690.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 144px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OnfA-u8CAdg/SlEQnb5bPII/AAAAAAAAAMo/ZeStgCVAE20/s320/CIMG4690.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355079701609790594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OnfA-u8CAdg/SlEQnFBvXjI/AAAAAAAAAMg/Z8PLyt9byu0/s1600-h/CIMG4684.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 145px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OnfA-u8CAdg/SlEQnFBvXjI/AAAAAAAAAMg/Z8PLyt9byu0/s320/CIMG4684.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355079695470648882" border="0" /></a></div><br />It was recently my daughters and a best friends 2 sons birthdays, not on the same day but within the same week, we always try and get together for a combined celebration of some sort, this year we went on a lovely picnic together, I provided the food and cake this time, I thought the cake would be fun, until I realised I was short on ingrediants and all icing things I had were pink (not sure the 2 boys would of been too pleased with that lol). With no time to get to a decent shop I used what I had in, thankfully a pack of sugared animals provided enough blue for the boys to be happy and ignore the pink!! I also discovered I had very little icing sugar in, so made a lemon drizzle icing!

:( Since I was doing alot of pottering about in the garden i've begun to miss it (quite shocking for me), anyway this morning after putting the rubbish out for the dustmen and getting soaked by the rain covered buddleia as I brushed past it I decided to cut it back a bit (yes in the rain, and yes I know I am mad! lol) it seemed such a shame to just discard the long stems I had cut back so I put them in a vase and collected a couple of other flowers from the garden too and they are now cheering up the fireplace area on a very damp and cold (june) day!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6295742221347707622-8161555605628656502?l=thisislifeislifeas.blogspot.com'/></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kOkOrTuGtIU1BPSDR8-0jbA7mps/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kOkOrTuGtIU1BPSDR8-0jbA7mps/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kOkOrTuGtIU1BPSDR8-0jbA7mps/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/kOkOrTuGtIU1BPSDR8-0jbA7mps/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=MjqhrZVmn_E:nrO4OHv6qaQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=MjqhrZVmn_E:nrO4OHv6qaQ:4cEx4HpKnUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?i=MjqhrZVmn_E:nrO4OHv6qaQ:4cEx4HpKnUU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=MjqhrZVmn_E:nrO4OHv6qaQ:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?a=MjqhrZVmn_E:nrO4OHv6qaQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/QAqM?i=MjqhrZVmn_E:nrO4OHv6qaQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/QAqM/~4/MjqhrZVmn_E" height="1" width="1"/>LifeIshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12627164231278765341lifeislifeas@yahoo.co.uk2http://thisislifeislifeas.blogspot.com/2009/06/little-bit-of-outside-inside.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6295742221347707622.post-82370483137313757722009-06-09T18:17:00.006+01:002009-06-09T18:34:56.800+01:00After trying and slowly failing with some seeds recently i'd been looking at the mini greenhouse type things you can get these days (A metal shelving unit with plastic zipped cover). After a bit of shopping around and looking at various options (and prices) I decided to use a metal shelving unit I already had and my parents gave me some bubble wrap... so quite a lot of bubble wrap, duct tape and time later this is what we've got.... (i'm rather proud of myself!). Now just to sort my seeds out and get them in there, and my tomato plants!
