Ummm hello

Did we or did we not just put our clocks forward an hour to British Summer time?
Is it or is it not supposed to be Spring?
Then why did I wake up to snow and howling gales today?
Oh and did I mention no electricity. The lines went down in the early hours of the morning so that meant no heat and more importantly no alarm clocks and we had to have big one down the road for 8.45am to get her on the mini bus as she's off to the Isle of Wight on a Scouting Rally. Fortunately we made it in time, none of us showered or even fed but we did it. :) Their troop is the only Scottish troop going so they'll be flying the flag for Scotland while they're there. There is a full range of activities so no doubt come next week we will be collecting very tired kids off that bus.


I'll be phoning my Mum tomorrow to make sure she's ok as I see from this evenings news the North Wales coast line is taking a battering from the sea my nephew sent me a link of face book and the according the pictures from the local news part of the sea road has been ripped up, houses are flooded but not in my mum's immediate area thankfully.



So frustrating, its not until you're without something that you realise how much you rely on it. Thankfully we got our power on by mid morning so wee one and I snuggled down under a blanket and watched a dvd before her Dad came to whisk her away for the evening. That's probably another reason I'm feeling sorry for myself, one baby on her way to far away land Isle of Wight and wee one off to her Dad's house. Me home alone needing a cuddle.

That's my moan over :)

The Hairy Biker show was brilliant, unfortunately I didn't get chosen to go up on the stage and eat their food but they certainly didn't come across as a miserable pair so I'm assuming my pal got that wrong. ;) I'll do a proper post all about it next time.

I may not sleep tonight

with excitment.....for a change.

Tomorrow I go to see the handsome Si, oh and his mate. The Hairy Bikers!

A friend told me tonight that she met them at a bike show and they're actually miserable buggers when the cameras not rolling! :o

I hope she was just winding me up but I'll volunteer to put a smile on Si's face ;)

Doesn't it just say it all

The Western world gets a clown

and in Japan....


Still don't want to eat there though :)

Thank you

everyone for your kinds words. It keeps hitting me in waves and I appreciate all my friends here pulling me in for that much needed hug.

Sorry

there has been no posts from me. It's been somewhat of a crappy week. My very dear friend was killed in a car crash on Monday. Someone jumped a red light and wiped out the life of a wonderful person.
Shock, anger, pain are just some of the emotions we her friends are dealing with. I can't imagine what her husband and young sons are going through but my heart is aching for them.

A Happy Mother's Day

to all my lovely blogging friends and to all Mothers everywhere. If your babies have fur, feathers or peachy soft skin you are all amazing.



Wishing you lots of...




and plenty of...


And none of this...

Small change

Hmmm just wondering if I'll find any loose change down the back of the sofa as I'm a bit short to be able to afford this fab chandelier.



It's only a mere £13,148.00 but isn't it fabulous. Just perfect to hang over my Mad Hatter's tea party table don't you think?
It's designed by Winnie Lui and is one of 50 individual limited edition designs. You can check it out at www.rockettstgeorge.co.uk I've forgotten how to do links, useless article that I am.

Thank you everyone for your comments, it's always so lovely to get feedback and know I'm not just rambling to myself. :) I'd love to hear what you all think of the film if you go to see it. Big one said last night she really wants to watch it again, so I don't know if she'll be making her way back to the cinema with her pals before long :)

Mother's day is zooming up on us again. Big one will be away at yet another camp so it looks like it will be just me and wee one. If I'm lucky I'll get one of her wonderful handmade creations and fingers crossed the sun will shine so we can get out for a walk with the monster dog.

Mind you I wouldn't mind being served breakfast in bed by this chap. ;)
