Feeling Happy
Hearing Snoop Doggggggggggggggggggggg xx

Well here we are, a new entry finally, my first entry as Mrs Anderson!! We have been very busy since the wedding, we were away for a few days, the castle was lovely. so 2nd entry will be dedicated to that. But, here is the entry i have been promising all of you...

The day before wedding dawned, cold, grey wet, windy, i was sooo worried it was going to be like this on the day.. anyway this day was spent running around like blue posteriored flies, we had to pick the hire car up ( i had managed to convince Nath that our 3.5 hour drive to our honeymoon would be better in a car than on our motorbike!) i was't intending to start married life with my backside healed over! suits had to be picked up, my direction impaired mum & aunt had to be manually directed by phone to get to Portsmouth from *up north*, they got all the way here then got lost in our town!!! flowers had to be picked up....and the list goes on............. eventually 10pm that evening, me and nath spent our last few hours of unmarriedness absolutely exhausted!

The morning was soon upon us, still we had to get cake round to the venue, i had to get my girls over to the hotel to my mum who was in charge of getting the girls ready for me! Jo who was in charge of helping me to get into frock etc was called away to work on an emergency (A care worker she was called out for a bereavement..) the poor lady who was in charge of doing balloons had bereavement the night b4 but didn't tell us until after she did them.., and we hadn't heard anything from the D.J, so my day started in such a panic... i gratefully accepted a large glass of Sloe Gin off Jo who had at this point returned...at least at this point the sun had come out!

I was downstairs in our apartments to get ready, as getting out of mine in *that frock* would have been impossible! Nath and his best man got ready upstairs in ours with my little boy. The hairdresser was on time, my girls turned up on time, the cars arrived on time... and we were away....

The Register Office was decorated wonderfully, and all was peaceful, then a little voice piped up " can i give u away yet?", " when i've given u away can we have cake?" " when i've given u to Nath, are us till coming home?" This did the trick to appease the nerves that at this point were threatening to shatter me into a 1000 pieces!

My little boy Brandon, or should i say my little Man! he was of course as most of u know, in charge of giving me away, and he did his job perfectly, he walked me down the aisle and held his head up proud as u like!

And so began the first tears of the day.......................

We had glorious ceremony, walking in to Evanescence, a heartfelt song that could have been written for us, and then followed by a track by Metallica... don't start frowning, no headbanging was performed! it was a track called Nothing Else Matters, a ballad with words that say everything we needed to..

The weather stayed dry, the wind dropped and the sun stayed out for the whole of the day.....all i can say is we were truly blessed!

The reception had shaky start as D.J was late! but that was ok, as we spent the extra time we had out on the bridge outside the venue, hence some extra beautiful pics!!

Please Enjoy!

Lots Of Love

Mr & Mrs Anderson!!

Feeling Anxious
Hearing Brandy - Truthfully

has it been so long since i have been on here? i have been aware, reading updates even if i havent commented, time has passed so quickly!

things have been very busy this end, wedding is only 5 weeks away now, all plans are finished finally, all paid for, only odd little last minute things left now, panic mode is setting in now! just hope all turns out well on the day!

lots gone on at work too, we have 4 staff now so i have easier life lol ( i wish!) i qualified in my Hypnotherapy in July and passed m A + P too, so glad that is out the way, i did get to point i thought i had took too much on!......

Nath has had his stag do, he went paintballing & quad biking, he was black & blue when he got home!! he enjoyed it tho, he had it early just incase there were any injuries, im afraid i didnt want him hobbling to his wedding bed!!!

My hen night is next week, we are all going Flamenco!! we are having dance lesson then on to a spanish restaurant for meal & dancing, we are all gonna be in spanish fancy dress so should be fun! ill try and get pics up on here for u to see, having mine early too just incase of injuries, long time since i had strict dance lessons in heels!!

i know he has to carry me over threshold but wouldnt be fair for him to have to carry me around all honeymoon.............

was messing around on here today b4 i updated, have any of u ever put ure name into google search engine to see what would come up? i did it today, i put in Jane Gibbs ....................... im shocked lol, wanna see what came up?

Feeling Chillin'

hello all,

now come on, get up off the floor, i know you're shocked to see me lol!

how are you all..... i promise i will catch up with journals at some point........

got a few minutes to myself so i thought i would share them, ( cos im nice like that! ) also got couple pics to show you too.... as most of you know, i live on south coast in Portsmouth, and as you all may well know, we played host to the most spectacular event ever!! Trafalger! All i can say is Fantastic!! as the good Doctor Who would say..... and we were there, we saw it all, we had close up seat, we got very drenched! but worth it, to see it all lit up, and to see the tall ships re-enact the battle and to see how it was for Nelson!! pics arent of fantastic quality, was very bright during the afternoon and then very dark when the storms it us, but wow, ( not a word about the commotion of transport home when over 300.000 ppl were all trying to leave at same time, a 4 mile walk at 1 in the morning with 2 kids wasnt pleasant! ) but still it was worth it!

listen to me gushing... all you want is pics of it!  here we are....a little album not fab quality but closer than some lol!

 

and yes wedding plans coming along great... almost done, not long to go now, butterflies kicking in now too!

short and sweet im afraid but i will be back in a while xxx

Feeling Quiet
Hearing Peace & Quiet

Hello, thought i would just pop in and let you know im still around, sssooooooooooooo busy as per usual, hope everyone is well and things are going good, this entry today is for all of the girls who have been in and out of here over the last year and have been an inspiration when ive been feeling crappy!    

  

I AM WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!, we are all beautiful...
HELLO, Beautiful!!
Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month?

Well, it is and that means you and me.


Facts on Figures: There are 3 billion women who don't look like super
models
and only eight who do.

Did you know Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14?

If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all FOURS due to her
proportions!
The average woman weighs 144 pounds, and wears between a size 12-14.

One out of every 4 college-aged women has an eating disorder.
The Models in the magazines are AIRBRUSHED!!! - NOT Perfect!!
A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at a
Fashion Magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and
SHAMEFUL!
>>

Models 20 years ago weighed 8% Less than the average Woman.

Today they weigh 23% less......
- Beauty of a Woman ~~
>the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With time, only grows..

An English professor wrote the words:  "WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING"  on
the blackboard, and directed the students to punctuate it correctly

The men wrote: "Woman, WITHOUT HER MAN, is nothing."

The women wrote: "WOMAN!! WITHOUT HER, man is nothing!"

The Images of Mother

4YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either!
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom. .  

 

Catch you all soon xxxxxxxxxxx   Jay

Feeling Worried

Im SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bloody angry!

Only a quick one had a lot on, my girl could do with a bit of support! she is being bullied at the moment by 'so called' friends, first off few weeks ago it all started, but i just let it go......teenagers an all that, to cut a long story short, these 2 friends found out something private about aimee that she would like to keep quiet, they decided it would be fun to broadcast it over school, rumours, writing it on walls etc... she was upset, anyway, she was so upset and decided to write about it in her journal,( recommended by victim support and therapists)  which they didnt like, so they have started on her for that! rumours kicking in etc and then on monday 1st day back after holidays, one of them physically assaulted her, soooooooooo i went in, statements were taken from others and it all points to the girl did assault her, so her parents were phoned and she was put on report.. They didnt show for school today!!)however after meeting with teacher, who was by the way questioning my responsibility for letting my daughter have a public journal!! the girls went into a lesson and proceeded to read out my girls journal to anyone who would listen , they were upset that she had named and shamed them before, so she now calls them *the bullies* which seems they are not happy about that either! they are blocked from commenting on her journal now, so today she finds another comment from someone else who they have obviously got to comment for them!( they too now are blocked....) she has every right to put her feelings into her journal, as have we all, it helps aimee as she gets very closed in with her feelings, 4 years ago we had an armed robbery in our pub, we were all dragged from our beds, aimee was 10 years old and my little boy was 4, they held a machete to my ex husbands neck and made him empty the safe, she was witness to this! and so as you can imagine emotional problems have ensued! these problems are what these cruel girls are spreading around school, is there any excuses??? nope, just bullies!! i do hope the school do something about this as it has now gone too far!!, i will keep u posted, meanwhile pop along and give aimee a bit of support, she could do with it..xxxx thanx

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptise cats.
2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.



GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.

 

 

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.


THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.


SUCCESS:

At age 4 success is . . . not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . having friends.
At age 17 success is . . . having a drivers licence.
At age 35 success is . . . having money.
At age 50 success is . . . having money.
At age 70 success is . . . having a drivers licence.
At age 75 success is . . . having friends.
At age 80 success is . . . not piddling in your pants.


Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way; BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day.


Have a wonderful day with many *smiles*

Take the time to live!!!
Life is too short. Dance naked
