This is my latest lo of Andys Granny meeting Boo for the first time.
Shes a remarkable woman and is still going strong at 90.

















Well tomorrow its the vets for our Belle..shes having a check up and hopefully if she gets the all clear her first jabs. We need to pick up a travel cage for her so she can go everywhere with us..not that i will be driving much with the diesel prices going up like they have..my Billie takes £60 to fill up now and i cant justify driving aimlessly about anymore so it looks like im using shanks pony for a while.
I walked into town yesterday and it nearly killed me thats how unfit i am..im hoping that having Belle will get me out a bit more on my own and exercise more as a family..There are quite a few dog friendly places to go round here.

Our bin is overflowing with Maggots yet again..every summer its the same and i use a bottle of bleach a week in it to try and eradicate them..trouble is we only have fortnightly collections and we are supposed to recycle food waste so i guess we will have to put up and shut up..

The garden is looking nice now weve had some rain ..ok so we have planted broccoli here and there but then why not it looks nice and green..we planted green beans last year but they didnt come to much..

Boos bedroom is nearly finished...it just needs more disney characters on the walls ..i did cinderella yesterday and her coach and the fairy godmother..im working on Belle and the Beast next but i keep running out of black cardstock..well its a good excuse to go to Capture the magic...lol

Today i took the kids to skylarks to get them out the house..we have been in looking after Belle and catching up with hw while the weathers been crap..kids played for an hour before the rain started coming down..and by the looks of it its in for the night.

I hate the rain...its bad for witches you know..

I have sharp teeth you know..lol

Poorly puppy

Well the trip to the vets was a nightmare..The vet thought Belle had Parvo which is a killer if left untreated..we were told to take her to the main practice in March and when we got there we werent allowed in..they did all the tests in the car park..I really wanted to cry as the poor little girl was so poorly and lethargic..anyway the vet came out and said it wasnt parvo but it was serious and so we were allowed into the examination room where he gave her a jab of anti biotics and then loads of other meds to administer at home.
Anyways nearly a week later and shes a normal little puppy now...

Changes..........

I hate the change on UKS.The team chat is from latest post down instead of the other way around..all bloody confusing..and as team leader i now have to go into the profiles of my team to collect points..i have voiced my dis approval on the smack blog...
Now the smack blog i go to daily and read comments at the moment theyre bitching about some woman..havent got a clue who she is but then i havent got a clue who most of the names are..so i dont comment..im not one for pulling people i dont know to pieces.
Yesterday i did hw all day got most of the downstairs done and broke the hoover so i need to get a new part for that..i can still hoover up though using one of the attachments but it takes forever as its only four inches wide..
The kids have been all over Belle and she loves the attention but i do wish they would leave her alone when shes in her bed..i can see tighter rules are needed there so will discuss it tonight at dinner.
We are one of those rare familys that sit down at the table and talk about our day taking it in turns to tell everyone else.Sometimes theres not a lot to say and others theres loads..

Today Boo goes to nursery so i have a couple of hours to myself..i look forward to this as i get to play with my cricut.I got a new cart the other day and need to start making Belle and the beast and all the characters and The little Mermaid for Boos room..once its done i can sit down and laminate them all and put them on her walls..

Belle

This is the latest addition to our family..
Her name is Belle and she was born on the 25th of Feb 2008...Isnt she the sweetest little ball of fluff you ever saw?
She is a spaniel cross border collie and i fell in love the minute i saw her..

Today she went to the vets to be given an mot..she needed worming obviously and shes having her first jabs on thursday..

I must admit getting up to a pile of doggie poop was horrid this morning as i dont do mornings as a rule..i need half a dozen cups of coffee and at least ten fags to get me moving so having to deal with that was a shock...she will get the hang of going outside eventually...its all a bit hit and miss as this is her first official day in her new home.
Oh spent a small fortune kitting Belle out this weekend from dog cages ( she needs somewhere to escape the kids) bedding, toilet trainer pads, food bowls and food not to mention actually buying her..it looks like we will be on beans and toast all week..lol..
The kids adore her though and so far so good they havent tormented her as much as i thought although she loves chasing Boo and nipping her legs..something i hope she gets bored with soon.

Latest los

Well these two were made from Sarahs cards March scrapbooking Kit.Im very pleased with them..i had a rush of inspiration yesterday and managed to do two los.

So thats the craft side of me done..

Im getting a bit fed up with being team leader of a team that isnt there..we have about half the team regularly chatting and the other half in limbo and i dont know what to do to bring them all back to the thread.I know the good weather is here and everyone has different things going on in their lives but just a post a week would be nice..have a bit of a chat about the week and share any los they have done...
I see them on the site and i wonder why they arent popping in to their team..Instead of moaning on here i should be pming them all and asking them whether they still want a place.
So thats my mission for today.....

Here comes the summmer sun..

Dont you just love the summer? we have had one of the most glorious weeks and i am feeling pretty good..i hate winter so much i think i should hibernate..
Lets see whats been happeniing in my world..well i completed a few dwarfs for Boos room which we managed to decorate over the weekend.They need laminating as well but i thought id let you see that i have been working on something.
I got a shed but its going back as its the biggest load of crap ive ever seen..Going to make one ourselves instead as we do need a shed out back if Andys going to make the utility room a fish house.
My mum goes to Chelsea today to do the show.Fingers crossed she gets a medal this time round. They keep inviting her to take part so shes obviously good enough ..
Apart from that ive just been enjoying the sun and feeling happy...Goofing off from the hw as much as i can get away with and spending time outside.
