I am away this weekend....

I am off this weekend to visit my Mum, she needs an operation and I will be traveling the 20 miles to London to take her there.
I will be travelling in my little car...Hopefully if hubby hasn't parked it in the middle of the road and it hasn't been smashed to pieces! LOL! (see post a little way down!)
I shall be leaving my poor hubby to do the washing up and stuff, but bless, he can't do much these days, so I am sure Rosie will help him :)
Its our anniversary on sunday...we have been married 23 years, so we promised ourselves that we will celebrate next week sometime, once I know my Mum is ok :)
No doubt we will be drinking plenty of tea to help Mum get over the op...its only a lump on her finger, but she is 80, although you would never believe it! but we are very worried about it because she has had dislocated hips from birth and she uses her arms all the time, so if there are any complications, we will have to see if it will be worth her while to have the op, but I'll let you all know when I get back :)
Speak soon gals,

Car Insurance? SIMPLES !


Do you think this car has been parked by a person that holds a current driving licence?

or do you think it has been dumped by thieves who have just done a Bank Job!

LOL!

No! this is our car, that has been parked by my hubby who owns a current driving licence! he parked this in the evening and when Rosie and I went out in the morning! we couldn't stop laughing...so we had to take piccies!
...And mores the worry! when we asked him to tell us what was wrong in the picture! he couldn't understand the problem and why we were laughing so much! Eek!

Now we have proof why womens car insurance is much cheaper than mens! 
SIMPLES!

Thoroughly Modern Rosie .....

Well! we have finally done it! after much thought and deliberation! and a few arguments along the way, I got the paint and it was all systems go last week!

Fred and I wanted The 'Happy Shabby' look and Rosie wanted a modern look as she loves the black and white Zebra prints that are about at the moment....

...and seeing as it was her bedroom and far be it for me to influence her own style (I am all for individualism!) we let her guide us with what she wanted.
...and together we came up with this! 
we have got rid of the cast iron bed, as it was too short for her now!
(she has had a bit if a growing spurt!)...we were able to purchase a divan (cheaply) from a friend and thats really what started it all off!


A trip to IKEA, Matalan, The Range and a few Garage Sales and this is Rosie's new Bedroom!  Her dressing table had a broken leg and for ages I looked for a new one for her...but the price of these lovely ornate ones has rocketed over the years, I thought I was going to have to pay a couple of hundred pounds for one!....
But then I thought! hold on a minute!...her one is soooo lovely, I'll get it fixed and paint it pink! so thats what I done and the same goes for her chest of drawers...they are a bit cumbersome, but with a coat of 'sexy pink' gloss from Dulux, they look mighty fine now!

To be honest it was lovely looking for these colours...
it made a change from my usual primary colours that I usually buy....it looks totally girly...a lovely bedroom indeed...even if I do say so myself! ;) and Rosie loves it...she even wanted the HOME cushion I made in her room as she loves the turquoise with the pinks....thats my girl! :)

The different wallpapers in the frames are from B&Q...we cheated here a bit and rather than buy a whole roll of each, we just tore off samples! Eek! Well rather large samples actually...sorry B&Q...but hey I am giving you a mention...so no sulking! LOL!

The black spotty oilcloth is from 'The Range' only £2.99 a metre! and the material in the front of the wardrobes are Rosie's scarves, that match the room.

We went a bit mad on the cushions...some were bought from BF's and Garage Sales....The Union Jack sequinned one was from Matalan, and the zebra print one is from TK Maxx.

I hope you like it as much as we do

Bye for now gals,

Max's Bad Hair Day


This little cutie was overdue a haircut!
He he he! Bless him!
But usually I cut his hair, as he hates anyone else doing it! Especially Fred! my hubby!
Then one morning we all woke up to Maxy looking like this!!!
OMG!! I can hear your cry!
 Somebody! had got to him before me and it wasn't Rosie!
Just look how my Hubby has hacked away at poor little Max! ahh Bless!
Never again! Freddy! Grrrr!
Luckily...that was a good few weeks ago now and in that time Max's hair has grown a little longer! Phew thank goodness for that eh!
...and this is him this afternoon!...sorry but I just had to show you this piccy...he is just soooo cute, he really believes that he is a human baby and not a little doggy at all!
 Rosie and I are keeping all sharp instruments out of hubbies reach in future! LOL!
Speak soon gals and guys,

Well gals, we have been out and about this week starting with a trip to London on Saturday (gone), yes it was dull and gloomy and we were bored! so what better a way than to spend the afternoon, with a trip 'up West'!
 As we approached the Blackwall Tunnel I was able to get a piccy of the Millenium Dome!...Goodness me! look at that sky!...still you get used to that living in Blighty! :D
