Finally finished!

1yr 4 mths some days and counting

Mon, 07 May 2012 00:29:00 +0100

I’m very nearly there with my blanket (first knitting project).

I was just stitching on the penultimate row when I realised I should go to bed rather than finish. I lay out what I had done and thought ‘may need to come back to this in the future to add another row to make it look right’. Then turned to find another bunch of squares waiting to be made into the actual final row, so 2 more to go!

I know it’s taken a while, but skill of this nature with many slightly different seem styles and special affects can not be rushed!

Vote - check

Thu, 03 May 2012 11:31:19 +0100

Ada has chicken pox and so is confined to the house and Marc is off to work then away for the weekend, so I was forced to get out of bed and go and vote straight away. For the first time ever I have not voted for any of the 3 main parties. They are going to have to improve their polices, manners and morals a great deal before I can consider giving them my precious vote again.

Problem solving

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:07:23 +0100

Since, the dishwasher has been fixed we’ve been having trouble fitting all our stuff in the cupboards, particularly cups. Ada solved that one for me last night, by breaking one of my favourite :(.

Note: She was fully supervised at the time. Now off to find some parent training classes!

Reading this leaflet has solved all my shoe buying/wearing problems. It’s just a shame i didn’t get hold of it years ago and instead it cost the nhs a podiatry appointment to get it to me!

Button Moon:

Love it, but does get a little annoying when all i can think of is the theme tune, which then plays in my head all morning. Thanks Youseff.

Miner VGA rocks

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:33:27 +0000

Yes, thanks to Scrubs i remembered a brilliant game i playing in the 90’s. Fab miner game with great noises for springs and cave ins etc. Entering and exiting the bank hundreds of times to get the best deals and manically pressing ‘left and right’ or ‘up and down’ over and over to reveal what was hidden behind the rocks. Brilliant. You know where to find me for the next few weeks until it drives me insane.

My OH is going to start taking a photo a day at the beginning of the new year, after being inspired by many others who do the same in order to improve their photography skills. Well i’ve decided to take a photo a day from now. I may have to change this to once a week if i start to be too dull - let me know.

Marks and Spencers Fishcakes

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:23:35 +0000

It seems M&S feel their fish cakes are valuable enough to warrant a security tag. A fact which the cashier and I were unaware.

As I walked out, having made my purchases, the security alarm sounded. The security guard noticed the tag on the fish cakes.

What’s funnier is the cooking instructions for the fish cakes were either oven bake or grill, only. Yet the security label said on it “Remove before microwaving”.

Beatles Rockband

Been very busy over the last week playing loads of Beatles rockband. Well it’s not like there’s much on tv at the moment.

Afternoon tea

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:11:10 +0100

Just been to a swanky hotel for afternoon tea (Marc’s bday present). Was loads of fun. The food was different for each of us (one menu for gentlemen and one for ladies). We also chose the type of tea we drank, which came by the pot full (several times over). All the food was delicious and the ‘butler’ was very attentive and informative. All in all a great afternoon, which should be repeated sometime in the future.

I am loving.....
