Boasting, gloating mummy!

One of little man's nursery staff came up to me today and said about little man... quote...
"He is a lovely little boy, so polite, always remembers his pleases & thank yous, well done mum you've done a good job bringing him up" (as if its all over, job done LOL!)

bargain hunter...hopefully!

Some of you will know I'm abit of an oxfam online fan having bagged some lovely things in the past from stuff like Zara & Per Una.

I've been wanting to get some cheap summer dresses as the only ones I have are 2 posh ones & one I've stretched beyond recognition having worn it when pregnant alot.

Anyway have finally settled on going for a ditzy pink country casuals dress for £28.

Had a quick look on CC's own website saw loads of stuff I liked - oh dear!! I can't decide what to be more depressed about - the fact that I have purchased 'country casuals' - am I now officially an 'old rural bag - def not down with the kids' or the fact that with dresses on their site approx £100-£160 I can't even afford their normal sale stuff!

oooh sneaky!

Having been locked out, Daisy the cat ever resourceful simply got onto conservatory roof, jumped up to lttle man's open window and promptly hopped into his room. Found this out when we were awoken about 4ish this morning to her scratchy at the door wanting to get out.

About 6.45am now and I'm up starting the day with that head sewn backwards feeling, little man & me about to sit and read The Beano together! Which by the by cost me £3.50!!!!....'was never that in my day'..........

Jack & Daisy - Naughty cats

I am writing this at 1.30am because the cats brought a mouse in a while ago and all hell has broken loose.

Must say I am more annoyed with hubbie than cats - why? because we heard the cats chasing it about downstairs but he refused to get up, saying they'll know where it is in the morning (not too concerned about mouse welfare then!) I must add at this point I'm not too hot on catching them myself so I normally keep my head down & mouth shut, however this time...

They chased it into our bedroom as door had been left open, our mattress is now up against the window and the 2 bits of the base of bed are apart and turned upwards. Locating the mouse is even more difficult thanks to the old computer, keyboard, screen & printer all still in our bedroom having sat there for ages (waiting for mircles to happen and hubbie to 'deal' with it.) Hubbie's mixture of clean & dirty clothes are still strewn over the floor because I haven't got around to finally cracking about it and picking it all up myself as I always do. Does this sound like a married woman's rant, of course it does because it really is!!! Rants not really allowed on my blog but as its mine I can change the rules and it might give some of you a giggle anyway :)

As always happens the cats have now lost interest. Jack has gone back out and Daisy is sitting downstairs right by my feet.

Lots of the crashes and bangs at the mo, god knows what the neighbours must think!

I hope my bed goes back together ok.

I hope little man has a lie in.

oooh good news mouse caught! Hubbie EXTREMELY vexed I have not helped! Got to go and help put room back now, cats have been locked out, better finish this now - if he catches what I'm writing about think I'll be locked out too!

Blackbird's nest




This is a picture of the abandoned Blackbird's nest from our Honeysuckle bush! Thank goodness the birds finally came round to their senses as not a good place to start a family with these two in the garden!

Photo Technology back at last!


At last we are almost there... as you can see can now upload photos, only taken us ooh a few months to sort out! Looking forward to new all singing dancing printer arriving tommorow as well, just need to install microsoft word back on again and we are back in business!

Anyway my blog has suffered greatly during our computer woes and is much need of some pics to brighten it up again so enough of my chit chat....
