A short one

Post that is......just a couple of things I have managed to finish.

My big sister as a lickle poppet person.....with a diamond in her hair.

My little munchkin at the bottom of my garden.........

and m'e new clock...to make me on time...mmmmmmmm like thats likely!!!!! Just a cheapo plastic one from a supermarket with a Noo Noo attack!!

Was gonna upload some more but blogger is doing wierdness things and won't let me.......boooooo (pantomime stylie please).

Off to drink wine & eat choc.......both really good for my new 'I'm off to Italy' diet??

Yo ho ho, a pirates life for me......

....well if I knew Johnny (Depp that is) would be meeting me when I got there, my knapsack would be packed!!!!

If you hadn't guessed by now, we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 today - well raining all day (what do you expect, it's bank hol!!) so good excuse.

Anyway back to my point....Mr D. Now put him in his normal day clothes and yep, he is attractive but nothing to leave my husband for (hi Kev!!).........but hey presto, make him look like he hasn't washed in years and smells like the back end of a rancid donkey and for some reason he makes you swoon!!!!! Whats that all about?? To put the juiciest cherry on top of the delicious cake.......at one point his shirt is off. Again, I am not a tattoo person really but he is covered in symbols and writing and he looks gooooowwwwgeoooous!!!!!! Whats it all about ??

To be honest Orlando looks quite good aswell!! For any blokes out there.....Kiera looks good too!!!!!! (for the girls honestly, she looks way too good for someone who is living on a pirate ship!!!!!)

If you are a Pirates fan then you should go and see it - I think you need to have seen the second one to get some of it. If you go, try and sit through the end credits....there are a lot of them but if you can manage it there is a small scene at the very end.

Meet Nancy & Mavis (& Laura)

At a little church in our town there is a stall that sells second hand bits and bobs and in particular books. Now when we were little people we were told our parents that books were very important. We would never have been allowed to draw on them, tear pages or mistreat them in any way. Now here we are hunting down the oldest (& to our parents more important) books for the sole purpose of destroying them.....for the name of creativity and art. Somehow I feel that I should still check with my mum to make sure it is ok.........
Here is my little stash purchased today-money to charity which always makes one feel better......


The Taming of Laura is for my sis.......her name isn't Laura, she looks nothing like the bird on the cover (& neither does her husband I might add!) and concorde never flies over where she lives but hey, I am sure she will transform it into something mighty fine !!!!!!


Whilst looking through the encyclopedia these fell out....

you have to excuse the flash but it is a bit dark here. They look like they are of two women playing tennis, no date on the negatives so not really sure what date they are.
Me being me I decided to try and give these ladies faces........shall we call them Nancy and Mavis????? Hi Nancy.....Hi Mavis.....anyone for tennis?



(The flash has created the burn marks on the image, they are not on the actual negs).


Becky update....livlier than before we even went away!! Eating like she has not been fed in a decade and trumping like she has eaten farmer McGregors whole cabbage patch!!! Vet did say that this whole thing may have happened because she may have a general 'gassey' condition - no kiddin Dr Doolittle..........


Over and out...........xxx

HIP HIP HOORAY !!!!

........Becky came home today!!!!!!! Bit tired but looks a bit more alive than two days ago!!!!!
My little gang are back together again :o)
xx

doggy days.....

She went downhill...Becky that is, and was taken back into doggy hospital yesterday. Today looks a bit brighter though....she is off her drip and food and medication staying where it should be (in her tum !!). Really thought she had had enough yesterday and was not looking forward to the prospect of what may be have been coming, she looked really old. Anyway, hopefully coming home tomorrow back to keep her mummy company and to hold the cap for me whilst I sing and dance to raise money for the growing bill!!!!!!
Past couple of weeks are finally taking a toll......lack of sleep, bad news, bad luck. Then I feel awful for saying bad luck - there are plenty of others out there who have it far worse - but in my world, just for tonight, I feel a bit fed up with it all.
Fed up of being at the bottom of the pile. There is always someone cleverer, sadder, iller (are they actually words?), more interesting, more fed up and generally just more than me.....get the message that I am fed up? Sitting on this 'puter all night does not help....reading some of the stuff that people write, sometimes you just wonder............
Missing my dog, sad about my dog, tired, feeling generally cack, headache....did I mention tired....but then again can't sleep. OH SHUT UP NOO NOO !!!!!!!!!
(can you imagine what actually goes on inside my head!!!!)
Going to bed to find all the good things in my head.........there are more than enough there to outweigh the cacky stuff I am sure........
Sorry if you are reading this and you have a genuine problem.....I do appologise !!! (does anyone actually read this?)
As my nana says 'it won't always be dark at 6'...................................................

What a day!!!!!!!!

......that about sums it up. Missed the ferry back to uk due to a LONG traffic jam on the Dutch motorway so arrived home @ 3am - to be up again at 7.30 for work....so I was wide awake - NOT.
Had half a day so that I could get some sleep......but things are never that simple in my world!!!!
Kev picked Becky Boo up from the kennels only to find out that she was rushed into hospital/vets on Mon for a 'major' operation for a twisted stomach. Apparantly we were lucky she was where she was as it would have been unlikely that we would have noticed it....the lady at the kennels had seen it before so she rushed her in. If she hadn't have seen it then our little princess would have died by the morning. If that is not bad enough to come home to, imagine our delight at the £1000 bill that is rising by the day as she has more medication to get her better!!!! Can't complain though....at least she is getting better.
Here she is on a healthier day......
Gorgeous ain't she!!!

By the way, had a great weeks holiday.......will post about that once today is done with!!!!! Now i need sleep....................................................

(digi border from kirsty)

Hiya...just a quick moment to post so that I can answer a tag from bev and I do not want her to think I am not responding...........7 things about me.......
1) I am awfully slow at almost everything....scrapping....getting ready.....taking a shower....the list continues and I should probably add blogging and answering tags to the list !! (except driving....i do that a bit too fast....never anything in between for me!!!!!)
2) Apparantly I am annoying cause I make 'bullfrog' noises and I pick at my fingers - doesn't that make me sound attractive!!.....my sister is sitting next to me complaining of such things that I do.........
3) I do not have much confidence but I think I hide it well with my big mouth and hopefully humour ??!!
4) Back to number 1......I love driving. Probably due to spending a lot of time in the car with my dad. I did want to be the first female formula 1 driver but never quite made it!!
5) Prefer salad and veg to meat anyday !!
6) I am a bit OCD........but that is the way I am so get used to it (Jo & Kev)!!!
7) Last but not least I cannot make a decision to save my life.......I mean I am really bad at it.....really really bad at it.........finding these 7 'things' has been a real issue!!!!!!

Ther you go , done.
I am in Holland at the mo visiting with my sister, H and Samuel. Will post some picks later if you are interested??

bye

God bless....

End of a long day......actually fortnight. Just returned from Manchester for the funeral of my father in law who died last week.
Despite being a sad day for most it was also a nice day because I got to meet a lot of Kevins family, aunts, uncles and lots of cousins. When we were younger we tended to meet our relatives at weddings and christenings but as we get older it unfortunately, more often, becomes funerals....shame really.
One of Kev's cousins brought some photographs with her (I actually unbelievably have none of Kev's family and only one of him). The quality of this one is not great despite a bit of rework but anyway....it shows Kev Snr in more healthier days. By all accounts he was quite a ladies man......

We pray he has gone to a good place........God Bless.
