My mint choc mousses I made were sweet and delicious. First time I made them and will definitely made them again. Would have had more mint if Derek hadn't kept munching on the Wiltons mint crisps I was using.

140/365- 30 DAY CHALLENGE- A stuffed doll/animal you own
20th May
My nanny bought this raccoon for me when we brought her to the zoo 3 years ago. We brought her last year too. She loved it and meerkats are her favourite animal so the meerkat restaurant was particularly enjoyable for her. The meerkat teddies weren't as cute though.

This fancy dress costume was worn by my dad over a month ago. I borrowed it from my brother in law. Thankfully he hasnt had any fancy dress parties to go to in that time as I have forgot to give it back so many times.

Since I got sky plus I am recording old episodes of Dawsosn Creek which is really sad and childish to do! The characters annoy me so much. I think I more sad though by the fact that I find I am watching more tv as a result!

132/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE- A sneak pic you took in work
12th May
Incase you don't know I am an occupational therapist and part of my job is recommending equipment to enable persons to be as independent and safe as possible. As the brochure I am looking at shows, I advise on raised toilet seats, commodes etc. It annoys me now that due to cutbacks some of my patients have to buy this equipment which should be available to them. Please note occupational therapists don't just give out equipment!!

131/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE- Your pet

Technically not my pet but my nanny's. This is Bertie a stray who came in 10 years ago. We all spoil him. He just got his hair cut and my nanny put a jacket on him to keep him warm! When in New York a few years ago I bought him a three dollar jacket as a joke and she found it hilarious and started buying him a few more!

127/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE- A picture of your phone

I use my phone's camera for this blog so I took a picture of the house phone. It was only meant to be a temporary phone borrowed from my nanny but my parents still have it. I suppose it'll be helpful for them in 20 years when their eyesight deteriorates!

126/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE - Someone who inspires you
May 6th
My mam is one of the people who inspire me to be a better person. She is involved in so many community activities: Brownies, ICA, Alarms for the Elderly as well as being carer for my nanny. I was very lucky to have her every evening at home with me helping with my homework and I hope I can be as good a mother as she is. This is a picture of her with my aunt. My mam is on the left. She doesn't look like she is turning 50 this year!

124/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE- Something that stresses you out
4th May
Time at work stresses me out. I do a lot of unpaid overtime as I just can't get everything done in 7 hours a day. Due to my contract I never get the time back and while I try to leave on time every day it just doesn't happen. (This is my clock at home)

123/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE- Something that you collect
DVD's. We have over a hundred. Most of them were under 10euro in sales in HMV. I also love tv boxsets and Gilmore Girls is my guilty pleasure.
122/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE- Something that makes you smile
This pic always makes me smile. It is DH and I snorkelling in Great Barrier Reef. I get a bit freaked out by the sea but was totally mesmerized by what I saw that I almost forgot where I was swimming. We went to Oz 3 years ago for 4 weeks and had such a wonderful time. I always wanted to go since my aunt used to send postcards and showed me her pictures of her time away. This pic was one of the highlights of our trip and I always smile when I see it thinking wow we were there!
121/365 - 30 DAY CHALLENGE- Anything: Sunflower babies
1st May:
For our wedding favours we got favour packs from the Irish Hospice Foundation with sunflower seeds. I was keen on doing wedding favours but I loved the idea of giving some money to charity. My aunt particularly loved the idea and gathered loads of the packs at the end of the night and grew some of them for us. As we don't have a house yet we are going to plant them in my nannys. Should be a great pic in a few months!!!

120/365 - Peppers
This pic was taken a few weeks ago and was the first pepper shoot I had. I now have 9 plants. I was curious to see if they would grow but can't actually eat much pepper or I get heartburn!
119/365 - Royal Wedding
118/365 - Refusal
I was so hoping I wouldn't see this stamp on the letter from Meath Co.Council but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. I am a big believer in things happening for a reason so we'll see what happens.
