Well its been a quiet week for me on Monday went to Ebbw Vale with mum in law and managed to buy 4 cross stitch magazines for 20p - a bargain even if I say so myself ….. long day in work Tuesday stressful as we were six people down so we were all over the shop literally J

Thursday I started my city and guilds, a bit nerve racking as I’m not that academic so loads of homework for me but hopefully it will lead onto better things in the future .

Friday just going to chill and hopefully with the weather nice get some washing out on the line , then in the night we have Vicky’s 18 party to go to  , will be nice meeting up with the rest of the family but not going to stay too long as we don’t want to cramp the youngster’s style,  lol

Been working hard on my leopard x stitch

 but have done a few cards as well , have been thinking about buying some mags as wouldn’t mind having a go at making cards,

I’m looking on ebay and hopefully will get a few over the next few days

I had to show everybody this pic of my dogs as it wont happen again lol 

Hi Im Jayne aged…but that’s just a number lol , been married to Steve for 4 yrs in August   

   we have 5 children between us

Only Daniel  lives with us ,the middle boy Andrew studies at Sheffield university , Vicky the youngest daughter is going to Swansea uni in September , Kirsty the oldest daughter is trying to find job as she has left Swansea uni with a degree but no luck finding anything suitable ,she is a manager in local shop and Becky is between jobs, hopefully going back to college in September ..

I’m working as a checkout chick in Asda and been there for 5 yrs now , next week I’m starting a city and guilds in retail management and also have gained  first aider qualification which I will have to renew in 2 years time ..J. I have made a lot of good friends from work as I’m quite shy around people I don’t know and hate talking to people but my job has helped as I have to talk to the customers , also my hubby as helped me as he’s given me the confidence to be myself and to like myself as well.

I love any excuse not to wear my uniform and since we raise loads of money for various charities its worth it, have also baked for Children In Need days but sadly no pic as the evidence was eaten . This yr I’m dressing up as a rock and roll chick for Tickled Pink day and I’m attempting to make my skirt and this is coming from a person who cannot sew a button on , my mum in law will be helping though thankfully

I love walking and will be starting up once again in the next few weeks as the weather will be getting better I hope we walk for about 5 miles it takes us about 2 hrs but we don’t stop laughing till we get home , also we like to meet up somebody house get a takeaway and fix the world to rights a drink or 2 does help as well . Used to take my dogs for a walk but that duty has been delegated to hubby as they are too strong for me to handle

 They are like children (Ronnie to the left, Neo to the right)- full of naughtiness and mischief it tickles Steve how I say good “nite sleep tite ,be good”, and they look so sad when we go up to bed and leave them downstairs then when we go down in the morning they are so pleased to see us its like having about 20  dogs in the house .

I have been doing x stitch for about 15 yrs in total but stopped doing it for awhile and its only in the past 3 yrs I have picked it up again and love it , it relaxes me and gives me great satisfaction to see a project from start to finish even though on times I get daunted with it on times

 Still can't do French knots either to my despair  At the moment I’m doing 2 projects the one is taking me forever to do its been about a yr doing it now but I’m easily sidetracked and have done loads of others in the meantime and just started a snow leopard which hopefully will be done in about  2mths if I stay on track with it lol .
Both are work in progress, make the one VERY slow work in progress!

I also  love reading and I steal hubby's kindle as our local library has closed down, can read up to 2-3 books a week but find it cuts into my stitching time so I’m torn between my hobbies, not too fussed on the tv ,hate the soaps but don’t mind watching wildlife programmes or quiz shows as well but that’s about it , like listening to music but gentle music since my job is noisy and the step son loves really loud heavy metal etc grrrrrr and has to have it loud as he can, my poor neighbours .
