Hope everyone is having a great weekend, too bad it's nearly over.
Just to annoy my sister Sarah I thought I'd post about my Gardening attempts, as her green fingers are very poor, as seen in her last post. Take a peek at my planted pots, I planted these back in Febuaray. The Flowers in the first Pot are.. Black Eyed Susans, (that's the Yellow Sun flower type one) The Pink ones left to right are Ultra Rose Star Petunia, & Geranium Rose. The Second pot has the Geranium Rose & some of the Ultra Rose Star Petunia's.

Never really been much of a Gardner, didn't really have much of a Garden back in Wales, but I guess it didn't help when it was always raining there. I'd say that's your excuse sis ;)
Anyway in other news I start taking a Diet Pill I was prescribed by the Doctor, back in the UK I was prescribed the pill Reductil/Meridia and I lost a good amount of weight on it. But since emigrating I've put a lot of that weight back on, and I'm miserable. I know a lot of you may think that taking pills really isn't the answer, but I've tried everything in my power to try and lose weight over the years and nothings worked. The Doctor even thought I should try Gastric bypass Surgery. I don't really want to go that far, I've heard a lot of bad stuff about that kinda surgery. Anyways these pills have to be followed by a Calorie Controlled Diet, and a tight exercise regime, so here's hoping I lose something.
Yesterday was nice we went out for a long drive, it was a lovely sunny day. We stopped at a local English Tea Room that I noticed in passing. It wasn't as good as the other English Tea Rooms I had been too, but it was nice to have some tea and a Scone.
Tomorrow Clayton and I will put in our time off for our Christmas Vacation to the UK. Hopefully we'll both get the time off, I'll let you all know. I know everyone back home is looking forward to our visit.

New Blog Layout, what does everyone think? I'm not sure on it, I think it's a little bit plain, I liked the other one a lot, but I fancied a change.
Our weekend was good, did a bit of Gardening while the weather was nice. I'm planning on getting a white picket fence to go around our Cottage, then making a little Gravel stepping stone garden with some flowers. I can't wait till it's all done, it'll look so pretty. I'll post pics when it's all done, I'm waiting on Clayton's dad to get back to me about making a fence for us. I doubt he'll help us though, as MIL is worrying yet again about our money situation. I know their concerned, but it's our personal business.
I wasn't well on Monday, I went to bed on Sunday night with a headache. And woke up with one Monday morning with dizziness and feeling nausea. I had a feeling I knew what it was as I had this before back in the UK, Vertigo which is like a kind of motion sickness. Anyways I phoned the pharmacy to see if they can give me anything, and they said I had to see a Dr first. So I had to call in sick in work, not that I was really up to it anyway. Then headed to the Drs, I told the Dr what I thought it was and he was like well I'm still a little concerned about the headache, I'm gonna send you down for a CT Scan. I have to say American Drs will do anything for you if you have health Insurance, they'll run all the tests in the world. Only problem is I'm gonna spend the next 4mths paying for it now, as my Insurance only pays half and I have to pay a co-payment. My scans came back fine, and low and behold, it was Vertigo. In some respects the US Health system is better than the UK, I'd be still waiting for my CT scan back there, saying that they'd probably wouldn't even bother sending me to have one. Ah well I'm much better now, really tired though as the drugs they gave me, make me sleepy.
