Degree Show Here I Come

I just had the best tutorial I have ever had!!
I met with my lecturer for an hour and he was so enthusiastic with the work I have been creating over the past few weeks and has no concerns with what I will be able to achieve for the Degree Show in June :D

I have not met up with him for a proper tutorial this year so I was scared that he would disapprove of the work I had been creating and advise me to change work. BUT NO, I can continue with the text images that I have been creating.

YEY ME. I am over the moon right now.

Love to all the family xxx

peg

i can see a toothy peg.....

flying visit

Hamish and I are keen to pop up and see y'all soon. We're thinking of flying, rather than driving. Probs end of march? Is there a car seat we could borrow while we're up there?

the strapping young lad Ethan

so i bit the bullet today and got the wee man weighed and measured.  Have avoided for a long time as it could be one of my least favourable parental tasks (and to grump the health visitor ignored my correction that he is 7 not 6 months and therefore his chart is wrongly marked!)  Anyway he is now a whopping:
 - 22lb 2oz
 - 72.5 cms

there was a slight concern in her voice (in the vein of: sh*t he is a fattie) before she measured him and calmed herself down and all is good.

8 march

hey lovely people, we would be terribly grateful if we could find a babysitter for Friday 8th March so we can attend an engagement party (for Nicky Boy and Gordon (joint one - not to each other)).

Ta

wash wash

washing machine is now fixed - laundry a go-go

bananas

we're back from our short break. Fun was had by all and there were times where the cardigan was removed!  Not documented though ;)

The wee man had a fab time....

 

 

Unfortunately I can't ignore his love of bananas after he chowed down a bunch over there so I put on my big girl pants and bought some *shudder* and peel them *dry boak* and cut them up for him *a mother's love*.  Still it's better than biscuits #it'snot

I finally found the Petrie Press!

My news is that we have Jason's mum to stay now. I am very very happy!

tenerifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just to let youse all know that the PSs are off to tenerifee for a long weekend tomorrow.  Flight out at 0730 dubs so a super early dart. Back early wednesday morning (well half an hour after midnight!).  I'm already worried about how the wee man will cope - he's like his dad when it comes to getting up early #grumper

Surprise, Surprise !!! I came home from work today to find a "For Sale" sign pinned to the front fence of our house ! No schedule, no Home Report, just a For Sale sign. I guess that makes it official, then.

sunday

the family PM are heading to grandads on sunday - anyone joining?

Ax

Probable house move

OK. I see the jungle drums have been at work. Yes, I have instructed an estate agent to market my house. I have had it valued at about what I am looking for. A young lady is coming to measure and photograph the property tomorrow and the schedule will be ready on Wednesday. The surveyor is coming on Thursday to compile a Home Report and the house should be on the market on Friday. It will go on S1 Homes and Zoopla among others. Ther you go. Decision made, money paid out, good to go. I have seen a couple of houses in Dunfermline that might fit the bill but I am not going to look hard until I get some viewers and/or a first realistic offer. For ye: Bye ye !!!!!

mota

we have a new mota - its blue and big

food, food, food

we are all booked up for Martin Wishart on sat when dryathalon will be finished - yippeee

rolling rolling rolling

the wee man is now officially rolling over all by himself.

Disser...DONE!

 So I picked up (3) copies of my dissertation from the printers about 20 minutes ago! It cost a lot more than I thought it was going to, but that's the hell over with- Degree show is the next stop :)
I might be nice and let people have a read of it when I am home *cough grandad cough*

And a little something for Bethan, she might not be on the front cover this time but she is the first image I use when I start my dissertation. You are Welcome.

hgps

... is poorly sick.  Full of cold and sent home from nursery today.  Might need a doctors trip tomorrow cos his temperature just won't stay down.  He has a roasty toasty body and really cold feet :(

no booze-athon

met my target - yippeee - Anne x

How about that lovely granddaughter of mine getting a final interview. Unfortunately, it will mean her moving to London. Anyway, best of luck Bethan.

PFP

how was the eye doc?

Dissertation

Good afternoon :)

I am currently taking a break from the hell that is dissertation writing. Editing your own work is much harder than I thought it would be. But I have to persevere, my hand in is only 13 days away. 

I have all the pictures in place- so that's a bonus!

I can't wait until it is all over so I can come home for some puppy cuddles and relax for a few days! Before I have to face the world of my Degree Show in June. 

Hugs and kisses to everyone xxx

So glad to see that the blog has been resurrected (not that I was ever a amjor contributor!!!) carry on the great work you guys are doing with the Dryathon.

hey,

In feb young Alan and I are hoping to go for a wee night out to The Kitchen and were wondering if there would be anyone available to babysit?  Any takers?

Anne x

PPPPPPPPP

CONGRAULATIONS P - WOOOOO HOOOOO

BEEP BEEP

Well, welcome back to the Petrie Press. This has got to be better than twitterring and tweeting on that facetube. Nothing much to report. Thanks for all the cards and good wishes for my birthday. Best of luck tomorrow to P on her driving test. Fingers well crossed !!!

First Day of Work

Today was the first day I decided to sit down and start my Dissertation. I have downloaded 7 Journals to read on my kindle (hopefully this will help me to complete my dissertation so I can finally get back to my studio practise.)

The pictures above were taken at my Pre-Degree show in Glasgow. I thought it would be nice to share with you all on the family blog, rather than leaving it on my own one for Uni.

too small

that font was far too small  - sorry

its 2013 people

Its day 8 of 2013 in the PM household and the latest is:

 - E has moved into his own bedroom - unfortunately it is does have more of a feeling of being a cupboard with a cot in it but we are working on it, wee scone

 - E is almost rolling over by himself - every time he has done it, his daddy seems to be there with a wee helping finger to pull!.  G is even getting into encouraging him, although that may be because we have said that when he rolls over we can all have chocolate to celebrate.

 - E has a cold, natch

 - G has started her new days at nursery (mon - wed).  She seems to be doing ok - told me yesterday that there was a new girl in class (not her)

 - Al and me are feeling ok about this non drinking malarky, so far.  Well to be honest, al's mum bought him a pass on the first as she could not understand him not toasting the new year with her  but he has been dry since.

A wee pic to share for the new year.

so...

we were invited to Stu and Jills for dinner a couple of saturdays ago. Al was at the footie and I needed a hat for the weekend so popped out vintage shopping. I started to make my way to the lovely couples house with the intention of meeting up with wee Al on the way. I popped in to Peckhams, a well respected deli, to purchase a nice bottle of Italian red. After making my selection, I made my way to the till. "Hello" I said as I passed my item to the checkout girl, 'Hello" she said back, then she added, "do you have any ID?"

That is all that needs to be said.

Just when I thought that I had got over the bronchial virus thing that has been plaguing me for the last 2 weeks, I have developed a nasty chest cold/cough. I went to the doctor this morning and she has put me on mild antibiotics ( she reckons I can have a cheeky beverage while I am on them, by the way). Apparently, my system was so run down from fighting the virus that this secondary infection sneaked in !

Never mind, I am on the mend (again !!). We have cancelled the Saturday Night dinner that we were going to but I am still hopeful that I will make the football on Saturday.

Hope everyone else is fine.
