Tired, Tired, Tired & Rant

Oh I'm so tired, these past few weeks its either Joel waking through the night, been too hot to sleep or the neighbours have kept me awake. All I want is sleep.

I'm being very quick tempered with Ollie as he's being naughty especially towards Joel at the moment. Just this morning I had only got Joel back off to sleep when Ollie decides to kick Joel (not hard) to wake him up so I shouted at Ollie which made him cry then Joel cried I then didn't know what to do and it was made worse because hubby didn't even check to see if I was okay. Sometimes you just feel like you are on your own completely day in day out and for someone to ask if you are okay or need help would be nice especially from the hubby.

I think it's only women that have kids that truly understand its not all hunky dory being at home with kids. I find it very stressful at times and you feel you are just there for everyone else. All I seem to do is cook, wash up - oh that is getting to me as you clean and tidy then its back to square one again in no time, making sure you have food to feed everyone, clean clothes etc etc and I am actually fed up of myself moaning at Ollie especially when he's like talking to a brick wall.

Sometimes I wish I was a career woman so I wouldn't have to do this. I took up Avon to get myself out and do something for me but even that has got on my nerves this week as I've seen how shocking people can be when trying to deliver orders. I was told to deliver at a certain time on a particular day but they didn't answer so tried again half hour later still nothing so left a note and followed with a text to see when can deliver next and I had no reply. I left it two days and text again and got 'can you do tomorrow evening' no apology at all for messing me about and I have a feeling I won't get an answer when I deliver again. 
Another lady said she forgot so I went back next day and she said the same but offered to collect that night but did she turn up....no. What the hell is wrong with people, no manners and just no consideration for people.

That's my rant over :)

Busy, Busy, Busy

 

The past few days have been pretty busy with Kelly's Craft Box with some customer orders

A hanging monkey and three little thank you owls which will be given to teachers as gifts. 


I've also been trying to promote my Avon page Kelly's Beauty Box as well as getting out and about posting books and completing my very first order. I've even been asked to consider becoming a leader (scary).


Tractor Ride

 

It was also my husbands birthday yesterday so we had a family day out at Thurleigh farm, not really a 35 year olds ideal day out but now we have kids we have to suit them.  Ollie loved it and Joel was more interested in my camera case.






Orange chocolate heaven
I also stupidly said I would make Paul a cake. His favourite orange chocolate flavour. It took me ages to make but it couldn't have been bad as it's all gone now. 

 
It was shared with family for birthday celebrations in the evening.

Why Do I Do These Things?

A couple months back I decided to strip my hair as I've wanted to go blonde for ages so I used Colour B4, it worked but wasn't the light colour I wanted and ended up coppery so I added an ash medium blonde as that's suppose to tone the red tones down but my hair came out darker again so couple weeks back I gave myself highlights using a Jerome Russell kit which looked good as I had different tones of blonde/copper but no one seemed to notice so it wasn't striking enough so on Friday I lightened my hair with Live XXL colour - max blonde but it was so patchy 
Patchy Hair
with orange, blonde and brown so I rushed out (yes I actually went out like it) to get bleach as thought it would get rid of all the patches and give me a blank canvas.

Maximum Lift Blonding KitSo on Saturday I applied two boxes of Bblonde maximum lift blonding kit by Jerome Russell and the result was still patchy and very orange. Nothing like the picture on the box. It actually looks better in the picture but it is bad.
Ginger



I put a blonde Nutrisse colour on and hoped for the best, but as you can see from the pictures below it came out a lighter gingery blonde.





I went out like this but to my surprise a lady who was walking behind me said she was admiring my strawberry blonde hair as she passed........urm really!

My hair is now well and truly frazzled at the ends so now I'm thinking why the hell didn't I just pay out to a hairdresser as I've damaged my hair and will end up spending more to correct it plus I'm now thinking blonde may not even suit me. 

Sunday I put yet another colour on but this time a chocolate brown as I've given up on the blonde idea.

Review: Avon SuperExtend Extreme Mascara

I love this mascara this is the first time I've tried it and only the other day someone commented on my eyelashes and asked if they were real so I think that's proof the mascara does what it says it will. 

This is a must in my make up bag.

You can get in three colours Black, Brown/Black and Navy.  
Lengthening mascara with lash-lifting brush visibly lenthens top lashes by up to 87%*. Doesn't flake, clump or smudge
It is £10 In brochure 12 on page 50.
