Beautiful sunny day ... wish I was at home...

When the weather is lovely like this I wish I was at home and working in the garden. Its beautiful outside!

Bella and Ralph literally live the dream! They play in the garden, squeeze in a spot of sunbathing and then take a nap on the sofa after a spot of lunch! Lucky little devils!! I Wish I was a chi chi ... xx

Good morning....

Morning all,

Happy Wednesday!

Did anyone else find it hard to wake up this morning? Bella struggled... lol..


I can not wait to see my friend tonight, we are off to bingo and we absolutely love it!

We have a good old catch up, sometimes, such a good natter that we have actually had to change bingo halls.  After the last time, playing the entire set of books back to front....and the entire bingo hall laughed at us!  Lucky we didn't shout out Bingo as we were only 1 number away on one card (completely the wrong card though)  Haven't been in months so we are very excited. My friend is even bringing her lucky shell :-) we hope we win!

Also, its the last night of the fireworks in Great Yarmouth tonight so if you go along, enjoy!!

Hope you all have a great day...xxx

4 day work week...

I love a bank holiday weekend... and we get a short, 4 day, work week!!!

Why is it, that every week we start Monday, miserable and shattered! By Friday we are literally running out of the door ready to start our weekend! Its really funny as its the same process every week lol...! xx

My Hero...

I don't often mention my partner but on Sunday he really made me proud!!

We were working in the garden when we saw our elderly neighbour climb up onto his roof to fix a leak.

As we watched in horror my poor neighbour fell straight off the roof onto the concrete paddock.

We ran round to help and my partner tied a towel so tight around the top of the wound on his leg that he stopped the blood from pumping out.  The paramedic came round to thank him afterwards and to explain that if the gentleman had lost anymore blood, he would of gone into shock and quite possibly had a heart attack and could of died.

She basically thanked him for saving his life! I was very proud of how he dealt with the situation!!

He literally is my hero!! Much love xx

I love my new wicker chair £2!!!

Hi,

Yesterday, once my partner and I had completed all the chores in the garden, we managed to have an entire boot full of garden waste again. As we drove it all to our local recycling centre, I couldn't help but notice this beautiful wicker chair. I asked the gentleman how much he wanted for it and he responded £2.

I got it home and cleaned it down, using hot soapy water and a brush.  Fixed all the wicker and rebound it into the metal frame using string on a needle, pulling it round the parts of wicker that were strongest and tied knots in the back  http://www.transtools.co.uk/hand-tools/painting-and-decorating/aerosol-spray-paints/rust-oleum-mode-cream-gloss-spray-paint-400ml?language=en&currency=GBP&gclid=CLDshMmxnbkCFY7LtAodDVcA2w





I then sprayed it in a cream spray paint suitable for wood and metal. I applied lots of thin coats to prevent the paint from running.

Once dry, I carried it up to my office and it looks wonderful along side my cream day bed! Very chuffed and it was a bargain!!!

Hope you like it xxx
