Fun Laughter and Friends
What a fantastic weekend I just had. I went as planned to my lubbly friend Chris’s birthday bash on Sunday night, what a laugh! I met lots of old friends and a couple of I had not spent a lot of time with even though I knew them but I tell you I will [...]
Best Laid Plans
Well it was a drama today, all the plans went to the dogs when Andrew could not get a flight home last night or first thing this morning. We had so much to try and cram in, none of which was vital but you know what it is like when you say you will do [...]
Cool Crocs, Photographs and Mad Scrapping

That is what I am today….whizzing from here to there and only now getting to sit down with a coffee and 5 minutes peace, well I say peace but I have 2 in the dog house doing Maths at the kitchen table, that is about as ‘peaceful’ as it gets
Managed to do today’s [...]Is that it?

Drying Out
No, not me from alcohol (I wish) but my house from grotty radiator water YUK! On Saturday afternoon Roz came over with her Vax machine in hand and promptly sucked litres of water from my soggy downstairs carpet. Upstairs there was not a lot to suck up as it had all made it way downstairs. [...]
Water Water Everywhere and Not a drop to Drink
I am afraid today’s blog entry is not the planned one. Last night around midnight I discovered water pouring through Nicholas’s playroom ceiling. After a frenzied hunt for the source, I discovered a burst radiator in a bedroom upstairs. I had to then wake my daughter who was sleeping in the room and start to [...]
