diary of today ...

Hello all...

soooooo... today was my first day totally going Christmas shopping mad.

i was tired of people saying that they had nearly finished and was so pleased with them self when i had got all of about 4 pressies for Mia and totally couldn't be bothered to fight around the shops as id left it so late through every week something new always coming up that needed paying for more then Christmas shopping ..

BUT... i was was total warming up to the idea of just doing it all online and sitting with a bar of chocolate in the warm ordering it all but my good friend bribed me to come out today with Mia and try and at least get half the pressies i planed on getting. 

so of we went with Mia in toe and it turned out to be a rather good day. had a total laugh and i got the bits i needed to get. including some extra bitd for mia.

we was in the last shop we needed to go in and mia just started screaming like really upset and wanted a hug .. her cheeks where so red and burning so i think shes cutting another tooth bless her i gave her a big hug and fed her and she was still upset in the buggy on the way home but there was nothing i could do till i got in we got her out the buggy and gave her some calpol and some chocolate buttons and she calmed down and gave us some smiles.

my mate got picked up by her boyfriend and i did mia some dinner. then my mum took mia and spent some time with her whilst i went to meet Steven from work and we went and got mias nappies , milk, and food.

we then came home and mia was a little upset and she wasn't settling poor baby. so we fed her her bottle and she conked out. the rest of the night we are just gunna watch tv and cuddle.

night all...

love gemma.

Being on a long train journey sucks !!

I'm writing this post from London Underground. I'm currently on a very packed train trying to get home with Mia and Steven. We just visited Stevens aunt and uncle his cousins and his mum and step dad who are staying with them for a few weeks. The visit was fun and Mia enjoyed herself and is luckily tucked up asleep in her buggy. This train seems to be crawling through the 23 stops we have to go through to get home we have only gone through 7 stops at the moment. I have to say they really need to get more seats on these trains with someone either side of me and someone standing infront it very of putting trying to eat my crisps oh well 16 more stops and great we have just been informed its terminating half way and we need to get off and wait for the next 1 oh dear wish me luck x

diary of last week ....

Hello all ... !!

so another week has gone by.. and its another week closer to Christmas (EEK!).

so as i reported last Monday we came back from Stevens mums and basically relaxed all evening until we put Mia to bed. 

Tuesday Steven was off work and all day we was unpacking and doing washing we also sorted through mias clothing bar and ended up sorting out about half of her clothes that don't fit her so shes got the basics with it com to clothes now which is okay the charity shop gets some clothes and i get to go shopping !!

Wednesday Steven was working at 12-6 today and we let me have a mini lay in and he had Mia in the morning which was awesome as i was exhausted. me and mia really chilled atfernoon we worked on her crawling which still dident happen bless her she napped alot so i had time to put washing away and sort out room out which was a pig sty.

Thursday steven was at work all day. so me and mia went and met on of my old school mates for lunch and a catch up we then met steven for his lunch break i then brought mia home and gave her a bath bless her she splashed the water all over me so had to change my clothes. steven got home and took over so i could have a lovely bubble bath with one of my new bath bomb.



Friday we went out with mia and treated her to some chocolate picked up some of her bit for example juice and wipes and came home we had a mess of a bedroom waiting for us which was fun to try and tidy with mia trying to climb everywhere.

Weekend summary ..

Friday 2.30am : So i got in from the twilight marathon at 2.30am after the crazy cab driver finally worked out where he was going and dropped me and my two friends off at out allotted houses all withing 5 mins drive of each other  trust me to be the last one to be dropped off and have to direct him to where to drop me off and he had a check to charge me £5 more then i was quoted. after getting in and explaining what the twist in the final film was i conked out in bed still fully clothed. 

Friday 10am: Me and Steven got up sorted Mia out and started packing to go to Stevens mums. Steven was also trying to attend to our neighbor who was putting the clothes rail back up full of my clothes that Steven had decided to overload and make fall down the day before so it was a total juggling act trying to keep Mia happy get ready pack our bags sort the clothes rail and get out the door by 1 to catch our train in stratford ( 30mins train ride from me ) at 2.40 to catch our train to Stevens mums... anyway we ended up leaving at 1.40pm : / anyways we got to Stevens mums at around 4.30pm and we ended up ordering Chinese and eating on the floor as we was up there to help her move house.

Saturday: So moving mode set in and i spent the day watching Mia as Steven and his mum and step dad moved things out and packed no essential stuff away. i felt a bit useless but found my uses during the day when Mia was napping. we ended the day with mcds which is always good.

Sunday: So as most of the packing was done Stevens mum said we should go out with Mia and get some fresh air as they sorted the last little bits to be packed we agreed and got Mia out of the house for a bit and walked into town (wooow) no one bothered to tell me the walk was a killer !! oh my goodness... we got down the end of Stevens mums road and had to turn right to get into town and walk down this long road and oh dear this road was long the houses along this road where mansions almost so it was fun looking at them picturing us living there and realizing that would never happen. lol so we finally got into town and we popped into a few shops i treated my self in lush to some awesome bath bombs and to some new boots. we went home and ate what was left in Stevens mums freezer that needed finishing. lol

Monday: So Monday was much like Saturday really rushing to pack up the big bits Steven and his step dad moved the big stuff like the T.V and the last two chairs in the whole house we had been fighting over lol. Steven grew attached to his step dads chair it reminded me of a lazy boy chair it was black leather and rocked and had pockets for remote controls and a foot stall that also rocked too. it squeaked so bad though and they was putting it into the skip i know Steven was trying to come up with some sort of cunning plan to get it back to ours on a 45min train ride to stratford and 30mins to get the barking then to try lug the things home. but with a baby in a buggy a suit case and back pack and nappy bag it wasn't gonna happen. His little face when it was loaded into the care and taken with the rest of the stuff that wasn't going into the new house to the skip was a picture ( oh Steven sorry i don't own a lorry or have massive muscles or that chair would have been yours...) lol so we ended up walking round town in the evening with Stevens mum and step dad and we had dinner in a cafe till about 5ish and then they ended up driving us all the way home which was nice of them. 

all in all a good weekend totally exhausting but all in all a lovely weekend. and Mia was a little angel.

love Gemma

Sunday 11th November...

Hello all..

so today has been another one of them lazy sort of days.. we did go out to Tesco with Mia and we put her in a trolley for the first time....

 

she loved it. she was getting excited watching all the people going past and seeing all the things on the shelf's. 

also today i have been trying to sort out plans for Thursday/Friday with girls to see twilight its all money and meeting times stuff but its all so confusing and tiring but i think we have it all sorted we are going to meet tomorrow to try and sort it all out properly as trying to talk on Facebook and blackberry messenger is becoming more tiring.

Stevens gonna try and go back to work tomorrow to see how his back is i personally don't think it will go too well as he still seems to be in so much pain still and is struggling with bending and lifting but i can to is try and support him and see how things go. 

been getting dizzy spells again today which is annoying i got the same through pregnancy so i think its my iron levels which is never fun.

anyways im off as Mia is now getting difficult and Stevens on his Xbox (again)

October favorites ...

October favorites ... <3

MUA - pressed powder in shade 1 .. £1

This press powder is good. i got it as i normal use collection 2000 sheer loose powder but when i went to superdrug they didn't have it so i decided to get this to tide me over until i could get it but have now fallen in love with this.

MUA-Hide and Conceal cover up stick in light - £1

This is good for covering blemishes and for the price you cant go wrong it lasts all day.

MUA-intense colour eyeliner in jet black - £1

This eyeliner is really good. it lasts all day is super soft and apples to the water line well it also blends really well. 

Treacle moon bubble bath - in lovely mint story and those lemonade days - £1.99 (each)

i can not rave enough about these bubble baths they smell amazing the lemonade on smells like lemon ice cream and the mint one smells like mint choc chip ice cream they are lovely to bath in or use as shower gels.

Nivea express hydration primer review

so i purchased the Nivea express hydration primer about a week ago 

(sorry for the battered box Mia got hold of it) 
over all the product isn't bad ... it hydrates my skin well ... as for a primer though i don't find it as effective i don't find it keeps my makeup in place as much as id like it too and as much as it is advertised too. 

the Constance is quit watery and takes a while to sink in. 

i wouldn't advice it as a primer but as a moisturizer it is very good. 

these are my person opinions and experience with this product i will continue to use it to see how it goes. 

. it retails at £3.99 ( very reasonable price)

Lazy day ..

hello all,

today is Saturday and its a pretty much lazy day. Steven my partner is on his Xbox ( as normal) and Mia is asleep after a restless nights sleep. 
she was up at 2am this morning and wouldn't go back to sleep until 4.30 ... Hmm think shes teething .. she already has two teeth but she is doing all what she did last time she cut a tooth. 
so today is a catch up sleep day for us all i think. 
Stevens off work as he has pulled a muscle in his back so we are trying to nurse him better too. 
hope everyone's have a good Saturday ... 
Gemma
