Casino Ranking

Posted by lauramcintyre

Do i gamble? For the most part i don’t .

Would i like to? YES , im not one for playing the lottery but love anything fast paced and with an instant pay off (or loss as it always seems to be in my case )

If i wanted to take part in some Online Casinos i would have no idea where to start. The sites seem to be everywhere and i would be little weary of giving my account details to some of them.

Its look like Casino Ranking has done alot of the work for me, not only can i sort by pages that will pay in UK pounds (or deal easily with the UK - this is a big plus as lot of the bigger sites are USA based) but you can also search by Best Online Casino or sites where you can play for a free hour.
If you are a High Roller or just want to play Bingo or Poker then site is the perfect place to start .

I must admit im more than tempted to spend some time browsing some of the given sites myself, overall im impressed with everything on this web page. Its simple and well designed, its very easy to find your way about . It covers everything you would need so if you are a non gambler or a expert its defiantly worth spending some time browsing and clicking some links

Ups and Down

Posted by lauramcintyre

Why must my maternity trousers insist on falling down constantly?

Why must my maternity tops insist on rolling up constantly ?

Im always walking around with this ridiculous jelly belly sticking out :(

*****

When did Eilidh learn how to walk up stairs?

When did Eilidh learn how to walk down stairs?

How can she be old enough to do either :(

*****

Why does Rebecca insist that her hair MUST be put up?

Why does Rebecca take her hair down all the time?

Why can’t she make up her mind :)

I Signed Up For PPP!

Posted by lauramcintyre

As talked about before i signed up for Pay Per Post . If you have not heard about this site please feel free to check it out.

Pay per post is exactly what it sounds like, as a blogger they already know you love to write. They provide you with opportunities to earn some money doing exactly that. You get to choose from the opportunities available and do a write up advertising the business.

I love blogging , i may not be the most talented of writers but i still get a kick out of it.Already im looking through the open opportunities and looking through sites thinking about what to write. As a stay at home mum im appreciating not only the opportunity to earn some extra money but to use my brain for something more than getting stains out of carpets.

Blog Advertising is something i have been seeing for a while but choose not to do it, i have now reached the time when i realized what was i waiting for? Other people i know who do it love it and have been recommending it to me for months.

Im looking forward to working for this company in the coming months and hope you look forward to reading the posts.

Big Thanks to those who commented on my last post, i think for the moment im going to give it ago. Yes i hate it and it  does not sit right with me BUT we as a family could use the extra finances at the moment .

Its seem most of you don’t mind it but will choose not to read the posts and that i understand ( i would do the same) , im hoping this will just be a temporary thing - i totally see myself getting bored with it in a few weeks :)

Getting Paid To Blog

Posted by lauramcintyre

Im sure you all know the sites such as perperpost and such and i would love to know what your thoughts were on them. I done a little on my old blog but was not getting any new opportunities (they said because lack of traffic, thats fair).

Im very tempted to do this, any little bit helps and even having some money to spend on eBay each month would be wonderful . I love buying bundles of clothes of there for the girls.

The biggest problem i have with it is offending people, turning away readers because of it. I read alot of blogs and i know only one other person who does this, i have spent alot of time blog hopping to and don’t come across it.

I would just love to know peoples thoughts of it, would it annoy you? Why do you not want to do it on your own blog?  Is it  going to completely ruin this blog?

One Of Those Days

Posted by lauramcintyre

Got to the playgroup at 12.45 exactly and it was all locked up and noone was around, no signs or calls

saying it wasn’t on . The list of holidays dates didn’t include today and even the reception of the school said it should

be on.

Called a friend who got there about 5 minutes after we left and there was still noone there. 

Was not happy about that but thankfully the playgroup is not really out our way so just took Rebecca with

us to the group, mind you she had her dolls pram and baby with her so the walk took over an hour (normally

takes me 15 minutes if that) . I had planned to go and spend time in the library with Eilidh and have a good

browse at the books but didn’t have time.

At the group the kids were NIGHTMARES , both destroying the place and screaming/fighting constantly . I got

Craig to pick me up as i couldn’t face the walk home. We were going to spend the rest of the afternoon in the park

but i decided to leave it as they had been so awful at the group

I know they were tired, Becca was super late going to bed last night (almost 10) and up way to early (at 6) , Eilidh

was also up then and neither napped to have been fussy all day.

Its only 7.11pm now and they have been down for an hour already

The Post About Nothing

Posted by lauramcintyre

Its another lovely day here, yet again the day was spent mostly outdoors running about and playing. I even braved walking to the library this morning for Rhyme time (takes about 30 minutes normally) , Rebecca behaved so well and although she walked  slowly in parts she did listen to me . We stopped at a couple of parks, we were almost going to just stay at  second one and leave Rhyme time but Eilidh done a dirty nappy and was demanding to go ( i would of changed her there and then but had no nappy sacks and there was no bin nearby so had nothing to do with it)

Have i mentioned how funny Eilidh is with this nappy thing just now? She is really learning about controlling herself at the moment and the minute she poops she has to tell and get it changed NOW . She is hilarious walking about holding her bum going “poo poo”  . For a while if naked and she needed to poop she would demand a nappy on and tonight she done it when she needed to pee, this is the exact same way Rebecca was a few weeks back so im really hoping Eilidh may realize its more fun to use the potty soon.

Rebecca has not made made much progress although she did spend the whole day in pants the other day and only had one accident. I don’t think im pushing it enough and some days she wears a nappy all day long and others underwear. My biggest problem is not really wanting to do it , maybe im just being lazy but i like the easy days of nappies and the freedom to go out and about not worrying about accidents and toilets.  Will really make the move soon (maybe :) )

I really am loving this week, the sunshine just makes me feel amazing and being so busy is making the kids happy and they are sleeping great. Im feeling so positive about everything and am actually looking at the future with excitement.  Im getting more and more excited about this baby by the day .

Summer Sun

Posted by lauramcintyre

Is there anything better than waking up to the sun shinning?

Well yes, waking up after sleeping for roughly 9 1/2 hours straight with one child snuggling up to you and another giggling in her cot.

Adding in the sun just made for the perfect morning :)

Today has been just gorgeous, in the 70s (which for Scotland is pretty dam high) . Its been the warmest day of the year so far and its suppose to last for at least this week .

I have spent almost the whole day out doors, my sister and i took the girls to visit my gran after lunch . We walked down (and complained as it was to hot lol , it does take a good hour to make the journey) , once there the kids played out the back garden practually the entire time.

DH picked us up at 3.30 and rather than go home we headed up to his mums for a barbecue and a couple more hours of playing outside . The girls got such a kick out of eating outside and i know both had a wonderful day.

Rebecca even passed out before we left my MILs and has not woken since (and thats two car seat transfers included, she is so much more portable than Eilidh) .

How tired am i ? Very and slightly sunburnt but in a good way :)

(Pictures coming soon, if Flickr stops being a pain and lets me upload)

To Relaxing

Posted by lauramcintyre

Ever have one of those perfectly lovely relaxing days?

A perfect morning was followed by two napping children (to be fair Rebecca fell asleep on the couch watching wonder pets during quiet time) , the girls woke in time for a quick lunch then to be whisked away by there grandparents for an afternoon at a farm.

I got some free time which meant a long hot bath finally getting to finish My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult (One word SOB) and caught up a little with emails.

The girls were returned just in time for helping with dinner, they have been bathed and Eilidh is sound asleep now while Rebecca is snuggled on the couch watching even more Wonder Pets (i know bad mum but because she napped she is not just as tired tonight so given her a little time) .

Also found time to get the latest pictures of the camera :)

They were actually having a great time, Eilidh loved Rebecca bouncing on her back
