Neglected...

i guess thats how my blog feels, but after running around after three crazy little people all day i just dont seem to find the time or energy to update it, hopefully this wuill all change and we can get some regular updates, on here, well ill try lol

LO of Heidi, really all ive done all year, um mah isnt that naughty, still been buying stuff though, hopefully ill get to use it soonish..

little princess is gone to CK

sorry for the dodgy scan, limited hands and time here atm..

Oh and lucky that silly Easter bunny finally come as he brought mummy a new camera, (Canon 400D, which she is very impressed with i might add,) now ive just got to learn how to use the darn thing, ive been trying and getting some thibngs sorted on it, although the manuial that comes with it isnt the most informative little object, ive learnt more from the 12 week photography course (that they are just finishing up this week) at two peas, its been really great for the begin from the begining again type novice like me , although im sure everyone could learn something new from this course, it is very good. Will be looking at a TAFE course for photography in the new semester at the local TAFE, hopefully i can go at night when Paul comes home from work.

In other news, we put our plans into council about two or three weeks ago and they rang yesterday for another bit of paper work, (im telling you they could have regenerated another forest with the amount of paperwork we had to take in, forms for everything from a driveway, approval, to sewrage and stormwater applications, and an environmentle study of the surrounding area to see how it will be affected by our property, i ment its a residential area, so what kind of impacvt do they expect it to have, anotherr house in the street ??/lol)

but this other [paperwork they needed means that we will be able to start building soon, yay cant wait can you tell im excited, well i am, have been waiting for this moment for so long, everything just seems to keep going wrong but now, nothing can stop us, and hopefully well be in by about Sept, touch wood the weather holds off for the rest of the year lol, but at le3ast by christmas, YAY!!! doing a little happy dance around here.

Been involved in a card swap with Kristina Contes, (love her stuff, just cant seem to pull it off myself , thoughive got an orginal piece of Art right from her studio, and that makes me happy:) just got to get off my butt and make hers now, and send it all the way over there, will post a pic when i photograph it later.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend

Til next time...

{SLACK SLACK SLACK BLOGGER

Yes ive been really slack blogging as ive just been so busy getting everything ready for when the baby arrives, and doing the spring cleaning, packing etc. Well with the arrival of baby number three only weeks away, its has gotten me thinking that ive been really slack about my scrappin, and have discovered a mountain of pics and info that i still havent scrapped for Blake (from when he was born), so im making this little book, inspired by a project by Emily at Two Peas and am using this to record all the birth story, facts and some cute pics from his first few weeks in it, its really coming up well, although im sure its still not going to be finished by the time this next baby arrives with the rate of scrapping getting done ATM im sure it wont be LOL

So as you can see its still in the semi finished, not really heaps of work to go stage, LOL almost finished ha ha maybe by the time these kids are in high school ill have started to catchup on their pics sort of. I feel free in the knowledge that teens dont like to have their pics taken a great deal so ill have plenty of time to catch up then LOL

Other than that ive done a few LOs although theyll have to wait for another day as blogger seems to hate me ATM and wont allow any more pics :-(

In other news, the boys are slowly getting over this dreadful bug that seems to be dojn g the rounds, they get better, go to school on Thursday and then are unwell all week again until school, they just seem to pick up something new every week and its driving me bonkers

Blake, seems to be trying to get somke more words out although they still seem as though they are stuck in his throat, but hes trying.

Jack has mastered the 1 - 20 although he seems to leave out 15 quiet regularly and its not going to stop now whats next mummy, 21-29 then its twenty ten?? what the?? 20-10. Hes just on this constant learning binge, which is good but testing my patience, with the whats this every 5 seconds and his latest little saying is "Mummy are we there, are we there yet???"

Well till next time... Have a great week

34 down 6 to go....

{PAY IT FORWARD

Well this moring after waking up at 430 and not being able to sleep i ventured to the computer for some Blog hopping and what do i find on Miss Becs Blog??? A little Pay it Forward challenge that has been set, originally from Janelles Blog ??? and it goes a something like this:

"The first three people to join me will receive a handmade gift from me. I have 365 days to make it and send. Hopefully it won't take me that long though. Then each of you three must also put this on your blog and get three people each to sign up. Then you make your three people a handmade gift. I think it sounds great. Hopefully three bloggers out there will want a handmade gift from me. All you have to do is put this fun challenge up on your blog and lets keep it going. "

now heres the scarey part does anyone want something handmade by me??? if so you get the gist post this on your blog and hopefully it will go around and around and around so everyone gets a lovely handmade gift from someone you might not know..

So spread the word and share the love..

Im off to do some scrappin while the boys are still at school, its ment to be cleaning day but i just dont feel like it and have been doing anything and everything to get out of it today, hopefully the little cleaning faries will come and remove the rubbish tip from my lounge room, and the waqshing fairy will bring in all the clothes and fold the washing LOL a girl can dream cant she???

Til next time...

No Los to share as ive just been to busy with this project and my funky little Binding Machine did i tell you i love it already?????

Til next time...

Oppps its July

and now where did June go???? down the toilet id be guessing with how sick ive been feeling. Heaps has happened since my last post but nothing really to write home about, so ill just be doing a little summary (of all the stuff i can remember)

• So glad i finally got my car back and its looking like a shinny new one again, or shinnier and newer lookin than before, no thanks to the guys who did the work, shit, thats all i can say and im not a panel beater or spray painter, but it had to go back three times, yes count them one two three just to get everything finished, so dont ever go to Enterprise Collision Centre at Tweed or youll regret it and be without your car for weeks too
• Paul's birthday was awesome, just went for a picnic and had a nice relaxing day while the boys played with their cousins
• Blake's Birthday, wow my little guy is Two it seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home for the first time, i cant believe how time flies, we spent the day at the beach where i just had to get one of these Shadow pics as seen on Alis blog, and i really love how its turned out
  
• Been to tones of specialists for the little guy and his ears, they all seem to be fine, hes just an ignoramus little shit that doesnt listen and cant talk because of it, but hopefully the other specialist weve been seeing will rectify this as she seems to be having a real impact on the little fella which im really happy about
• Been to the OB for more appointments and have also been for an ultrasound, after many delays and im sorry the Dr wont be able to see you now and we need to reschedual this appointment for the billionth time, the lady had to end up doing the scan at 5:30 when she should have been home already, just so i would be able to get in done in time ( before the end of the 22 week). so thankgod that all went well and this little baby has all ten fingers and toes so thats a relief too LOL, and its an active little one too, here is the baby doing flips of some discription, as these are the legs in fron t of the face, nosebutting, its shins, cute huh
• Were moving, YAY i really love living here although there are so people around the area that i just could live my life perfectly fine without them around, outlaws, sisinlaws just to name a few, so now is the horrible job of finding somewhere and then buying the houise and then packing the stuff and moving thats gotta be the worst part although, we are going to be staying until the baby is born so i dont have to rearrange all that stuff and then hopefully ill feel like moving instead of finding a cave to crawl under
• Cant wait til tonight off to do a class with Zina, its this cute little mini book and catch up with Val, cant wait just hopew that i feel okay for tonigh and can get something done

Im sure theres heaps of other things to tell, although if i dont finish this post it will end up like tones of others in the trash and ill never remember to write these things down.

Hopefully post again over the weekend, ive got tonnes of LOs to share, but blogger doesnt want to let you see them so

Til next time..

{Late as per usual

well ive gotten to scrap over the weekend, i think it was like a Mothers Day present or something like that. i got totally spoiled rotten with a little sleep in, that didnt last too long, (jack had to come and tell me that breakfast was ready and i needed to sit up properly to eat it, LOL kids huh) an enormous breakfast in bed and then got up to find the most gorgeous dressing gown that seems to have padding on the outside as well as on the inside, its just awesome, and i was needing another one as ive had the last one for almost 4 years now, two lots of baby spew and two lots from me too LOL. i also received a slow cooker, who said you cans give cooking devices on Mothers Day (although ive been whinging for a new one so i cant complain).

So heres the LOs ive gotten done and as per usual, ive gotten challenges done but finished late LOL. So heres the page i did for Kims sketch challenge, i love how Jack calls Doughnuts, Toenuts its just too cute..

And another quick one of my boys love these little monkeys to pieces, can get enough of them, and they cant get enough of eachother which makes me a very happy mumma

So heres the page i did for Kims sketch challenge over at sketches oz, i love how Jack calls Doughnuts, Toenuts its just too cute..

TOE NUTS

And another of Jack just enjoying one of his favourite treats, he even knows which servos have the iceee machines in them, and gets really Shitty when we dont stop for one on the way home from the shops LOL its so funny.

frozen ICEEE

I even got another two LOs done, that i cant share just yet, loving the fact that Erica taught me how to fix my printer so now ive been able to print at home again finally, (how do you get a broken new printer??? go figure) but its all good now so ive been a happy little camper, since then, except for the sick feeling for about 20 hours of the day, everything else seems to be fine.

Off to the specialist this morning for Blake as he seems to have a hip problem, im fingers and toes and toenuts crossed hoping its just something minor, they are looking at putting him in plaster for 4 - 6 weeks, how do you plaster hips, essp of a nappied baby???, hes almost two but still now where near out of nappies and they wanna plaster my poor little man, its not fair, but if it has to be done then it will only be for his benefit, im hoping that they just say we are overly concerned and everything will be fine.

Well i better get my but off this chair and go and get ready

Til next time..

{STILL IN SHOCK

What the??
im still reeling from the shock of the events that occured here on Saturday night, so much for a quiet one at home in front of the TV.
At 7:30 i was getting stroppy with the boys theyd been running around like crazy fruit loops since some time after lunch and getting onto 730 i had had enough of it, were getting ready for bed and thankfully with all that running around they both seemed to oblige me for this, so we get them to bed then Jack says i need to do a poo (sometimes his way of being silly at bed time, needing to go to the toilet constantly), while taking him to the toilet Paul ever so gentleman like went out the front to piss on the fence, when he saw head lights speed ing up the street and they appeared to be coming straigh for him, so he dove into the front garden as some F@#King idiot mounted the curb, (after fishtaling up our street) and continued to proceed straight towards him, (dont you turn your wheel in these situations, so you dont plough straigh through peoples cars and fences??)where he collected the front of Pauls truck, then proceeded onto smash and slide right up the side of my baby forcing my car through our front fence, well the result three banged up cars, police chases through out Cabba, parties being crashed down the street and lots of people going to jail, not me LOL
We were really lucky with everything that happened the cops got him and his totalled Ute, he rang us the next day and by rights has offered to pay for all expences, althoguht the tow truck driver and Paul seem to think my car will be a wrightoff so now ive got the lovely job of sorting quotes and trying to get it fixed for the rest of the week, not really the way i want spend my week.

Well here my poor little baby now, you can see the passenger side damage, as it is crushed into the bin and palms in these photos but it not that bad the major damage, is those doors eek, see the angle my car is on in comparison to the footpath?? my car is usually parked parralell to the footpath, and not squished into our bin LOL im not that bad a driver, some drunken freak asked the poilce if thats what id done, is anyone that stupid to crash their car into their own front fence and then ring the cops, i doubt it. So all of this happened before it was even a quater to 8 i thought thats when a party started, obviously im getting old LOL.

Well i hope everyone elses weekend was a lot better, hopefully it will all be sortrted soon, fingers crossed

Til next time...

{Brats, the holidays can test your patience

Well ive had an extremely busy week with Drs, Nieces and just a little bit of excitement, more on that later.

We've had our nieces over, for three days this week, sleeping for two nights, they only went home yesterday and today im buggered, i really feel for you mothers out there that have several children, ive only got two but throw those cute little nieces in and it seems like a house full of wild bulls, running from 6am through till about 9pm where they drop to bed every night in a crumpled mess. Its really great for us to have them as Paul and his Sister dont speak, so its just awesome to spend time with them without there being an audience, weve done all the girly things like painted toes and briads in their hair, they really enjoy it too as Cindy is a single mother so it makes a nice change for them to see a whole family together, doing things the way they all seem like simple things to me, but to see their little faces when breakfast was made and we got to do the girly stuff, is just soooo worth every second of their yelling and fighting, that always accompanies the first day while they wind down a bit.
im really disappointed that i didnt take really any photos, i was to in the moment to stop and be a scrappy mum/aunty at the time and im really glad i did, it soooo takes away from the moment when someone stouts out for you to smile, cheese, or look this way.


I did get this photo of Jasmine after we'd been to the tatooist LOL $6 for a tatoo, so i though id get another pain free one this time and heres the proof (photo courtesy of Jasmine), Amber wasnt too keen on having a Tatoo, so she got her hair wrapped instead but it was really hard to get a picture of this as its from somewhere under her haed, not at the top where you can see it LOL so whats the point, hmmm...she got it and i had to pay for LOL ( it im sure
that was it.)

Been to the Drs twice this week just my luck the nurse was sick the first time so i had to go back the next day, its just such a waste of time driving in and out of town to get things done only to find the darn place closed , they could have rang and said she was sick.

Been really busy trying to scrap some LOs but getting stuck on things waiting for this order to come that has some really yummy letters in it i just NEED to use today, not next week LOL, another order gone AWOL, looks like the Aussie Post system is getting worse, i have just received back a letter that i sent to a lady in Sydney before Easter, just returned no reason, im sure i used the correct addy, but im off to check that out also this arvo and hopefully have it on its way to you this arvo, so sorry for the delay Susan, there will now be a RAK included in that too.

Well all these half finished LOs will have to wait til some time over the weekend when i get the urge to scrap, right now i just wanna hot bath and then off to bed, but i will have to try and stay up for the footy tonight as its an Australian game, and well ive gotta support those Aussies Boys Oi Oi Oi..

Til next time.. have a great weekend

{WOW where has the week gone??

ive been so busy organising Easter that i just got a bit lost last week, still havent uploaded my LOs and im still got a whole ton of Scrappers Block on my hands, but hopefully, that will all end today (fingers crossed) as ill have the whole day to play with my stuff, while the little nieces mind the boys for me, they just are really coming over for the day but they dont get to do anything else, as Jack is constantly calling out Amber, Jasmine come and play with me, or do this or that for him its great, its not me for a change LOL.
They really love it too and its great they seem to go home all tired and worn out which Nanny is extreemly happy about :o)

Well i was gonna upload my LOs but i will have to try again this arvo this stupid thing doesnt want any pictures

Til next time...

{Scrappers Block

Well i seem to truely have it LOL how to rid the darn thing is still to be answered....
I thionk its from pouring so much into one 'major' project, it really seems to drain the creativity outta ya and im struggling here to regain it, been thinking to much about things ive got to do and not doing them Porcrastinating is the word ive heard many use and for the record sometimes i think i can be the Queen of this.
Well in other news at least my house is starting to reseble a home again and the floor can be viewed at least enough to make a path to and from places like the loo LOL

I went and got myself as new printer on Thursday although im still not really clued on how it works it seems to print beautifully, i ended up with an Epson after going in there all gung ho about 'i want a Canon, Canon you hear me its the best', the salesman potietly explained to me that Canons were a great printer but the Epson will do a far superior job and is extreemly more ink efficient blah blah blah so i got the Epson LOL
Now just want it to print like my old one, i knew how to use it and it was for the dummies like me who dont want to BEEP around with the BEEEPING printer for four hours before you can print a page, but its all called learning and maybe by reading the book, ill be able to suss it out all little, read the manual, not really loving that idea, but ill give it a go and fingers crossed get some prints done today. Oh and another tricky thing it does it prints on the CD so when i figure it out i can print on the face of CDs how technology these days, straight on the disk push it in and out it comes all pretty looking with your photo (or whatever) on it.

Ive got a couple of quick LOs to share but that will have to wait till this arvo as i need another USB to attach my scanner up now and will be getting that today at the shops.

Big get well to Val, hope your starting on the road to recovery and resting up taking it easy, youll be back on your feet in no time, love ya

Hope everyone had a great weekend

til later...

{No scrappin

but ive gotta get my butt into gear. Ive got LOs due for a comp ive entered, due by Friday and ive just had a letter off Krys from SM to do a commissioned LO oh wow, what do you do???? with three steps, techniques??? by April 4th, what the??anyone with advice for doing this i would be very grateful for this.
Just have to say WWWHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO as the lovely Megan will be moving to Brissie next month and i cant wait til the nutter gets up here its going to be so cool, i just cant wait, jumping around my house with excitement.
Later today, im doing an online class with Kim and it looks so cool, (very organised, as she always seems) i just cant wait for the class to start, still got another 5 and a half hours.

Other news, the boys are both doing super at swimming, and Blake even kicked his feet yesterday, he normally much prefers to just get dragged up and down the pool , just kinda floating along, looks very cute but is very frustrating.. Jack will be moving up to the next class in a fortnight, she just wants him for one more lesson, then hes going to learn how to actually swim, with his arms and all, its going to be scary, he doesnt really get the whole arm thing, just thinks you can kick and get along that way, cant wait to see him in a few weeks as he should be flying.

Well im off to try an prep my journalling for this class, hopefully post my LO from Kims class up this arvo, if i finish it LOL fingers crossed..

Til next time....

{Been Busy

Doing all kinds of things like tax and business paperwork, Arggggh, i really dispise paper work so it gets left til the end of the month when ill get really worried cause now i cant finish it on time and have to have a mad rush to get the stuff done, like working into the wee hours of the mornming preparing BAS statements , invoices and Tax etc.. yucky but its over now, and im so pleased for another month.

Scrap-A-Faire has been where ive been for the past two days, doing Tutes by the lovely Rhonna Farrer, the lovely Kim put me onto them and whoooo im so glad that i took her advice and went to these so educstional, and inspiring, great to get to see 'how' they put it all together too, im just in love with this new little digi wotrld ive found, not sure it will take over from normal scrappin, but good for something else to play with and im soo loving the idea of being able to make my own stamps and journalling spots etc all on this handy little programme with a few tips from the experts you can be too, or almost LOL, find the classes here but only for a limited time..

Im off to do another class now, oh and the coolest part i love is you can go into the class as many times as you want and still go back again stop and pause it if you get lost and ess. good for me is that she is really thorough in her presentation so you just get it.
Except for deleting, now how do you do that??

Hopefully some LOs to share over the weekend, hope you have a great one

Til next time...


Val hope your having fun in NZ, Jack wasnt at all happy that werent at work today...

{OMGosh so excited

Just off to pick up the boys from school, ive had a wonderful day off not much really achieved but somethings that really test your patientience with little ones in toe (like going to the bank)

So excited just checked my emails and i had not 1 acceptance but 6 whoooooo 'im excited' (in best big kev voice)

Been stuffing around about at the scrappin table and not much has been finished, lots started, but not finish , hmmm seems to be the story of my life ATM

Till next time...

{It Stopped

Raining and we got to go to the beach, YAY we went to Kingcliff for lunch and then took the "Surfboard" over to the beach and went for a "surf" didnt you know thats what three yr olds who can just swim do?? He always watching the older kids walking to the beach with their boards, can we go surfing mum, Pleeeease??
Surfing doesnt he know mum hasnt been on a Surf board for over 7 years now?? ive been tiold its like a bike and youll just get sraight back up but a bit chicken to try now with the post kidie bits and pieces IYKWIM?
maybe on day when they are old enough ill get back into it, maybe....
So heres some shots from our day Jack really lovesa the water as youll tell and Blake just isnt too sure about the whole thing, i dont think he likes all the sand on his hands or the water, or the waves, or really anything about the beach he just cried for about one and a half of the two hours we were there yippee, one who cant stand it and the other wont leave...hmmm


Really need to learn about all of this Digi stuff its really got me stumped... i just love playing with the bits and pieces and mixing and playing a bit more, not keen on all these layers and loosing my background into the computer somewhere and then not being able to find my text, argh... not happy Jan

Just got home from Swimming and the boys went really well, we got flooded with a tribe of school kids from the local school just as we left and then Jack didnt want to leave just wanted to hang out with the big kids.

Til next time...

{EWWW..

Well weve been sick all week, nothing much getting done just trying to stay home and rid ourselves of this dreadful flu weve all picked up , Men went theyre sick are such wimps its not funny, Pauls been whining all week cause he cant get rid of this stupid coldm and ive been secretly going he he he, cause im normally the one who cant rid the thing for weeks and tyhis time its him and i still (touch wood) havent really gotten it that badly.

Just found this awesome blog through the lovely Kims blog and its got some awesome tips for playing with your photos and making things (like brushes) for photoshop, YAY!!! im addicted and ive made about 20 stamps already LOL i cant believe how easy it is, well most things are when you learn how.

no LOs to share as ive been busy working on a big project (one of those Dannielle boxes with all the little books) that requires lots of Pattern Paper covering, im really over it already, but im loving the look of it so i am inspired to keep going, for once, i usually get things half finished and dont like the look of them so i just put it up on my shelf for another day, my mission this year is to try and finish them.. well ill try LOL (sorry for the dodgey pic, not much light here ATM)


So heres the outside of my box, inside is covered but nothing interesting in there yet, still havent finished the outside really but im getting there, just waiting on a big order of the new BG Scarlets Letter to arrive to finish the little books and to add a little of the paper out here somewhere to tie it all in, ive used Creative Imaginations PP for the outer cover, along with some other bits and pieces..

Hopefully going to get a LO done today as im waiting on more PP but ive promised Jack we would go to the beach today as well so hopefully i can take thye Boys down there for the moring and then when we come home they might have a little sleep, fingers crossed...

Hope everyone has an awesome week...

Til next time..

edited to add:while waiting for this to upload its started pouring, looks like no beach for us :-(

{Thanks for the Music

Well im a little technically challenged (just a little LOL) its only taken me three days and very descriptive directions from my lovely friend Megan to get it up and going.
Most of you probably wont have heard of this song (its a bit old) Shimmer but its one of my faviourite songs and is a little tribute to one of my best friends Glenn who sadly passed away 7 years ago this month. I still get shivers up my spine and a tear to my eye everytime i listen to it but it means alot to me. I should have some LOs to share tomorrow (fingers crossed).

til next time...

{Busy, Busy, Busy

ive been so busy this week, i dont even remember having time to scratch myself, i love beening busy cause it keeps you active and all that but i really hate it when the washing starts to pile up and nothing seems to be getting done, ive been helping Paul at work for the last few days and its really buggered me, more than normal ,it doesnt help when you get burnt to a crisppy (no creme' in the middle) crisp, my own stupid fault, im always on at Paul to put on some sunscreen, and to keep his hat on and what did i do?? go and get really burnt (stupid, feeling a bit sorry for myself) but im going to wear a t- shirt today and hopefully thatll save me a bit. Well im off to work.. fingers crossed for no burning today...

DREAMER

Just quick a LO i did Thursday night..

Til next time...

(took photos of Jack yesterday Fri 9/2)

{Just random stuff

Well we had a great anniversay, it was awesome, still had the kids but their part of us so you get that, we went to Sizzler for dinner, the boys love it there lots to choose from and they always eat a ton of fruit and vegies too, went for a quick flutter on the pokies and lost $50 not happy about that, then Paul had a turn and won $100 so he got miner back and won himself $50 which was good , just to pay for dinner (our boys are both still *free* at Sizzler, love getting in with the kids for free).
We had a no presents rule which i broke but mine was only made then Paul suprises me with tickets for a trip to NZ we will be going in August YAY!!! cant wait to go..

Well ive decided a few weeks ago that i was going to JUST DO IT and get my LOs done but after several days of playing and just creating ive ended up with more un finished projects then before, with paint you wait, then you get onto something else and then something else and before you know it your in a table full of mess, as seen below:

Hopefully byt the end of the day ill have a LO or two to share, fingers crossed for peace and quiet just for an hour, so i can get something finished hmmm doubt it but ill try..




Til next time...

{ SO MUCH FOR MY DAY OFF

Well today was ment to be my day off the Kiddies have both sarted school on Thursdays and its ment to be mums time, well i went to take Paul his Luch after droppin gthe boys off and got stuck there for hours, and hours helping out, his new apprentice thinks hes really cool as you do at 15 so i though id show him a thing or two, hmmm iran blocks over sand and carried barroqws full of 'mud', anyone with a brickie for a hubby will know its not cement that holds the bricks 2gether its 'mud' !!! So anyway i gave young Dale a run for his money and by lunch time i was buggered, but so was he so that was the funny thing (hes only started working for us just before chrissy, so hes really not used to it yet, but hell get there) i heard him tell Paul, your missus knows more about laying bricks that i do, what does he expect after almost 6 years of it hmm, its so funny to hang out with him hes still so young and thinks were soooo old, it just really reminds me of my teenage years....

So with all of this i didnt get time tio scrap at all not happy about that but it was a fun day and it might have made him think twice before he makes another bet with me LOL

well im off to finish Pauls anniversary present, 5 yeasrs weve been together for tomorrow, hopefully we will be able to go out for dinner and drop the kidlets at Nannies for awhile, fingers crossed

till next time
