The Missing Bottles Saga and the Monster

 

 

 

Hello everyone,

Firstly a special thanks to Jan (Serendipity) for letting me snag the crazy woman graphic.  That was me this morning and I still have a rotten headache from the fallout. The day started like any other, nothing different at all apart from Kerry and Roman being here in the mornings.  I do have to admit that Kerry`s untidiness is really starting to annoy me as she never offers to help but I was prepared to let that go until it happened............Roman`s bottles went missing and it was MY fault...........not her`s, oh no, mine!  I was NOT amused I can tell you.  I`d just found out that the dishwasher had packed up leaving me with all of the last 24 hours worth of washing up and I was in no mood for an argument about bottles, and definitely not up for being wrongly blamed....grrrr!  Anyway she stomped off home and then she phoned 10 mins later to ask if I`d found them...er...no.  They did eventually turn up in the rubbish because she`d left them in a bag next to some stuff to be thrown out.  The culprit being, not me but Jim and Kerry told me that she wasn`t annoyed at being messed about..... Oh really?   I just stopped myself saying out loud that that I wasn`t offering an apology and silently screamed......aaaaaggghhhh!

Despite a pounding headache I went along with Kerry to Little Steps Baby Gym where Roman and several other tinies were put through their paces to music.  It`s intended to develop the babies motor skills though I think personally it`s more fun than anything else.  They have all these apparatus and toys that they play with but the session is only 45 mins long and is quite expensive for what it is.  I think I preffered Teddies Music Club yesterday though I didn`t tell Kerry that. 

The one who tried to get away!

 

And the one who didn`t.  Jim`s 17 1/2lb. carp, what a monster!

Jim had a wonderful day fishing yesterday as the above photo`s show.  He`s very proud of the big carp he caught as it`s his biggest fish since last year.  He thought at first it was a 20 pounder but he didn`t mind it being just a bit less than that.  He did say however that it was really chilly because the lake though I thought it was a realy nice, mild day.  I suppose it was sitting in an exposed spot by the lake all day without moving that had something to do with it.  I`mn afraid I`ll never be able to quite understand fishermans enthusiasm for their beloved pastime!

Now we have no dishwasher I`m back to having to do the washing up by hand, horror of horrors, and I`ve just rang the engineer and booked an appointment to have the tumble dryer repaired. The earliest date they could give me is next Wednesday morning but I can wait, a dryer isn`t that important in the scheme of things.  Now a dishwasher to me is a real luxury and I`d always wanted one.  Now after having been using it for four years, the thought of going back to manual is really annoying.  The thing is there is no warranty on it so we`re going to ask around to find an engineer who doesn`t cost the earth, and again it just have to wait...sigh.

Jim has been wallpapering all day and the hallway is transformed already.  We really made the right choice with the paper as it makes the hall look very light and modern.  The carpet fitter came and measured up and quoted us over £60 less than the shop, so that was a good result.  I`m really impressed with Jim`s wallpapering so if you`re reading this my dear, "well done my love, and now get back to work and finish the job!"   ...lolol!

Right, that`s it for now, we`ve got a quiet evening as Kerry is on her two days rest from work so our mornings also will be peaceful and tidy...ah, bliss!  Anyway my friends, Bye Bye for now and enjoy the rest of your day. :o)
