NEW RADIATORS

It’s the hottest day in the year and what are we doing?. . . .putting in radiators. Oy vay! It has to be done though. When we moved in the house four years ago, the house needed things done to it (besides bulldozing) and new radiators was one of them. It had been rented out prior to us buying it and as you know, landlords want to get money not spend it. . . .anyway, we need new radiators.

It won’t be easy, not because my beloved can’t do the job, but because our teenage son is helping the testosterone will flow and heads will bang (mine included) Watch this space.

HOT AND BOTHERED.

Hell what a week for celebrities dying, I knew about Farrah Fawcett but the shock of the week has to be the sudden death of MIchael Jackson,he really was a strange individual but even so he’s being missed by his family and his kids in particular.

Not a great week all round it’s hot here and while I love the warmthe and the sunshine I’m cooking, all I want to do is cool off in a deep puddle, but I got the washing done.

The other thing I’m still working on is my weight, I’m not huge but I’m carrying more than I should, I need to burn the fat and cut down on my intake but I’m Knackered, what I need is to rent my body out to a fitness fanatic for a week, then collect it when it’s been “improved”LOL that would be great, totally impossible but what a fantasy.


MAKE WINTER SUMMER.

I think summer is here at last, it’s been fine for over twenty four hours and I’ve got the washing dry at last!
Winters can be so cold here in the UK, especially in the north and in Scotland, thank heavens for double glazing, especially with kid’s. Even so, check out who you get to fit it, quality work doesn’t come cheap I know, but it needn’t cost the earth.

If you click on the link you’ll find yourself on “Central Scotland Joinery”  their double glazing site, they use Pilkington glass and experienced joiners, which is exactly what you need,  recession or not, there’s some things you can’t economise on.


WASHING DAY

No it’s not me honestly, but she’s certainly keeping cool


LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

My son told me the other day that school holidays were two weeks longer this year, at this rate he’ll be hiding my belt and shoelaces. He does like to play online games though and he’s as keen as mustard on “World of Warcraft” and I just found out it’s possible now to buy wow cd key which gives you 60 days to play online, the codes arrive via email within 30 minutes of payment. Sixty days should get me through the holidays with my sanity intact.  Whoo Hoo!


CUPBOARD LOVE. . .OR NOT.

After having the builders in the street my husband is doing a spot of DIY in the kitchen,we’re having new cupboards and not before time really. Unfortunately as happens when you take things down or dig things up, you discover that everything isn’t always as it seems.

The wall behind the cupboard has a raised area so that’s  a problem, I know it’s a problem because I can hear Phil swearing at the cupboard and threatening it with a hammer, how nice. Ah! he’s done it, sorted at last and Barry Bucknall is now off to celebrate with a chicken Fried rice. Guess who’s cleaning up?. . .  yep you got it in one.I want half that fried rice.


CLEARING UP AFTER THE COUNCIL.

In the last three weeks our house has been surrounded on 3 sides by workmen, not that their working on our house, but they’re from the council and as the council do, they start digging and fixing things and they are replacing the roofs in the area.

To be fair they haven’t been too bad apart from the number of trucks, skips and other digging things in the street. But it’s more or less over now and it down to the task of washing the muck of windows doors etc.

Ah! well at least they do the work, we now have the worst looking roof in the area damn.


A SECOND TRY

I had earlier in the week announced that I was going to leave entrecard but I have decided to give it a second chance  but I plan to restrict my drops to 50 per day, I’m just too busy to do otherwise. 

Apologies to those who I had to cancel but I understand your credit payments should automatically have been returned to you but any problems let me know.This will keep traffic going and bring in a few more readers.


THE GRAPES OF WRATH.

I’ve just had an arguement with a bunch of grapes. After spending a couple of hours ironing clothes and putting them away, I decided to have some fruit salad to keep myself going, the fruit had other ideas and managed to get stuck on the way out of the fridge. Anybody hearing the outburst that followed would have had me committed, or at least arrested for fruit abuse, but I didn’t care,at that point I was just so tired.

Needless to say I overcame and enjoyed the fruit, but this isn’t the first time this has happened, I get this from time to time when inanimate objects seem to have a life of their own and just won’t co-operate,my husband gets dropsy and drops things.

Oh well I’m going to sneak up on the kettle now and make some tea, of course the kettle might not be in the mood so. . .we’ll see what happens,brace yourself.
