Not connected......April Fool!!

Well, it has been rather an eventful week ....lost all phone and internet connections on Tuesday ....phoned BT....otherwise named 'bloomin' terrible'......to inform them that my phone was dead and I couldn't access my internet, was told that it was a fault at the exchange and my problem with my phone would not be fixed until April 1st!! Suffice it to say that I was not amused!! Anyway, it is working now so  I made good use of my 'off' time by getting on with my quilling project which is almost completed, ....am very tired today and in a fair bit of the old pain so cutting this short for now x

Sunday's are for Slouching and Slipper Wearing....

What a funny sort of day today is...the sky is overcast and it isn't that warm out...not cold but not comfy warm either.....staying in and watching Create and Craft on the telly weather!! Although, I haven't seen anything that I have wanted to buy as yet. Visit to Auld Reekie yesterday was pleasant, I had a wee cuddle with my lovely Ivy Elona although she had just awoken and wanted her mum to feed her so the cuddle was a short one.....mum does it 'au naturelle'....nae bottle.... so mum gets to cuddle her a lot! Gramps managed a wee bouncey-on-the-knee for a couple of minutes before wee girl let out a howl and she was quickly passed to Gran to hush her which didn't work due to previously explained reason. After  a reviving cup of tea whilst wee babs had had her fill and was asleep we decided on a shopping trip to  a nearby small retail park which had a Markies Outlet!!! yea!! bought a really nice cardie and a shirt then off to TKMAX....never been in one before and it was like an Aladdin's cave of sparkley things. I saw some really lovely picture frames which were so unusual and then some really nice vases which were beautiful colour shades.....sigh.....but, unfortunately, my pennies had been spent at M&S's...but have ear-marked TKMAX for future spending spree's when I have some spare mazoolah's......wonder when THAT will be? hmmmm..tomorrow is going to be a hard working day after day of sloth.......making plans so I know exactly what I need to be doing.....please feel free to join me tomorrow evening and I will let you know how I get on!

Saturday is for snoring....

What a beautiful sunny Saturday this morning! We [other half and I with the two suave pooches] are off to visit our daughter and wee granddaughter today in Auld Reekie ....that's Edinburgh for anyone who doesn't know what I mean by this. Will have to take more pics of  wee Ivy Elona to hopefully post on here to let everyone see what a wee smasher she is...proud gran is taking the fore here! We are about an hour away from where they live so it isn't easy just to 'drop in'  so am looking forward to seeing how much wee girl has grown since two weeks ago -the last time they came to visit-which is a long time for a babs to grow! Had my garden invaded yesterday by my next door neighbour who has cleared all my overgrown-ness of plants and is going to red chip the bare bits...the garden not mine! Since my legs don't want to work too well anymore his offer of help was greeted with my undying gratitude.....or a hundred squid.....the latter is what was agreed on....it is what he does to earn a crust so am grateful  it is getting done by someone who I trust to do a good job. Looking forward to starting on my project tomorrow and taking pics to post! Don't forget to put clock forward tonight! See you Sunday!

Shorn but not forgotten!

Well the gruesome twosome have returned from the groomer and are looking very suave! Unfortunately wee boy Barney has to lose a pound or two in weight as he has got a bit hefty around his front chest area and his rump end  is a bit too broad so looks like a doggy diet is on the cards.....hmmmm. Once I work out how to post a piccy I will let you all see what a lovely pair they are....the pooches I mean....and watch this space for my finished  quilling project which is in the planning stage for finishing just now....I have to work out what colours I want for a background and also what shape to make the information part...you will see what I mean later....I think a circle is on the cards...pun not intended....and definitely there has to be ribbons for a girly look! Will post more tomorrow- hope you keep watching!

Friday Feeling

Hello ....this is my first posting ever..........my two cockers, Barney and Jings, are off to get groomed just now....they had a bath last night,which they hate with a vengeance.....and now they are all shiny and non-stinky. I have bought some box frames from Wilkinson's to put my quilling in ....I have been working on this new hobby for a couple of months now and think I have got a 'handle' on it. This is going to be a floral frame for my granddaughter's birth in January. I have completed the flowers and just need to put it all together. Have to decide on background colour then how I want it to look when it is finished.I hope to post it on here to let anyone interested to have a look and give me some comments on improving my layout. All will be welcome!
