These, (quite artistic) photos were taken by the Hubster when I sent him up the hill yesterday to gauge the condition of the road.Despite the fact that our little village didn't really get much in the way of snow while the rest of the south west was swamped with the white stuff, our neighbours up the hill were not so fortunate and, so, I was made to have another day off!!It's days like this I

It started off with just a sprinkle on Monday afternoon...And we ended up with a load more on Tuesday morning, preventing me from getting out of the village to work so I was forced to stay at home and make the most of it!I did get into work for the afternoon though as the sun came out and started melting the snow. More snow fell before I got back home from work making the hill a touch treacherous

Finished these a while ago but only just gotten around to uploading the pics from my camera.Both patterns are from Knitty - the first is a hat, Swell, for no.1 son and the second is a jumper, Baseball, for the Hubster who was complaining that I never knit him anything.The yarns used are ones from my stash - didn't even put a dent in that at all! - and not the recommended ones. No measurements

...When you let a four year old loose with your camera!!!!He tried to take some pics when he was out with his dad for a walk this afternoon but Hubby's camera is bigger and more of a handful. It seems, however, that his smaller-size digits can work my lil Sony W170 quite easily!!!There were a ton more that he took but these are probably better, more public-friendly ones!!!

This was the view as I was walking toward home from the car park after finally getting home, (it sucks to have to do the shopping before you can finally call it a day and chill out).The sky was so pretty looking that I just had to whip my camera out for the second time today and record it.

Just a little beggar I found tucked away at work this afternoon...I couldn't help myself - I had to race back into the office and grab my camera from my bag as I just know how much you all love them!!!

I've not done a drawing in quite a while but thought I'd give it a go this afternoon. I've put up the original along with my piccy just for comparison. Number one son liked it so much he wants to put it on his wall - he even wanted me to sign it, 'just like real artists do'! lol Bless him.

A little late but here are a few pics of the lil guy on his 4th birthday recently enjoying his grub and a go on the play equipment at Compton Park, not far from us. And, yes, he did extremely well to keep his white top white!!!

Yes, this one's just for you lovely ladies who I know would just totally appreciate studying another fine arachnid form!!!I can tell you that photographing these lil buggers without being able to manually focus on them is totally difficult! Still, I love my lil camera.

I know it's been a while and I was supposed to be keeping up with this blogging malarky but there's been tons happening around here and I've not felt like doing much in the way of sharing. All the same, I thought I'd put a few things up here. Today I had to take Bruce into Tavistock so he could pick up his new glasses. As it was raining, (surprise, surprise) Josh and I elected to stay in the car

The boys have enjoyed their weekends here - even participating in the local 'Duck Day' despite the rain! They thoroughly enjoyed that with the eldest winning me a bottle of wine on the tombola, (while I won a bottle of soft drink and a tin of apricots - typical)!! Just a shame that the weather wasn't better for that. We didn't even stay long enough for the launching of the ducks down the river, (

I know, I promised to post once a week but you've got to cut me some slack already - Friday evening was a rough start to my weekend what with one of work's trucks breaking down after delivering a load of free wood to my place - a good deed gone slightly askew!Still, here I am and I'm looking forward to having the next two days off, my boss has 'ordered' me to chill out and not be running around

...From my previous post - the Hubster got his ILR through, dated the day before his FLR was due to run out! YAY!!!!!!The waiting is over and now it's just a year until he can apply for citizenship.

I'm back! Well, not that I've been anywhere, so to speak!So, what's been happening?Firstly, we moved into the little bungalow I mentioned in my last post. We were there for about 14 months.I got a job which started off part time, not too far from where we lived, which turned into full time at the end of last year. My boss absorbed another company which had done work for us and arranged to lease a

We were told that we'd have to cough up six months in advance if we wanted the exceptionally nice three-bedroomed house with no garden and under-building parking. We've already put down the money for the credit reference/deposit - this is non-refundable.That was yesterday.We knew that if we did that then we'd really be scraping by til one of us got a job in the area. Hubby deemed this

With our landlord - we had a nasty surprise land on our doormat this morning, a letter saying that he and his wife were being taken to court for repossession of this house in October!!!!To say that we are pissed off and unhappy about this would be an understatement!We took the letter to the estate agent and she made a copy to go on file and said that she would see what could be done about it and

We've been busy, as usual! Bro #2 came down with his family a couple of weekends ago. The whole family, except for my eldest niece, descended upon a cafe for some grub, a natter and for the kiddies to play. Funnily enough all but two of the kids were wearing red tops which was totally unplanned and made for several smiles from the other patrons!This was the first total family get-together for

So, it's been a while - my apologies - but I've been so bloody busy, if it's not been one thing, it's been another!From the top then!Since I've been here I've been out and about or generally busy every single day, (or at least it's seemed like it)!Christina came down to visit for a day and a night, which I thoroughly enjoyed, (you're more than welcome to come back again gal and bring John too)!I

...we have internet! Oh, and I'm still in the UK while the Hubster has gone back to the US to get the house ready to put on the market - poor guy is doing it all by himself as the lil man got a stinking cold and we didn't think it was a wise idea to take him on the plane.I have a car lined up, (using yet another rental at the moment, which is due back on Monday) which I will pick up on Tuesday -

...We will be winging our way to the UK for three weeks!!!!With any luck the lil man will behave himself and let us get some sleep on the way over and we won't have a repeat of our last overnight trip!We've packed and shipped a load of stuff, of which some of it will be, hopefully, joining us once we're there.Just for once I've not procrastinated and left the packing til the last minute - I

Thank Gourd he didn't!We were so excited that we scared the lil guy! Poor thing!!

Well, quite a few things have happened since my last post - all good, mind you!Firstly, we drove up to PA to meet up with some very good friends, who I will miss immensely once we move. Details of that can be found if you click here!Secondly, the lil man's passport finally arrived yesterday!!!!!! As soon as we got it we got ourselves online and applied for the Hubster's UK visa!!!Once we'd gotten

We all have them - those things that irritate the crap out of us no matter what.Mine happens to be manners and/or ignorance - they're sort of tied together but people who have no manners just rub me up the wrong way - it's not like they cost anything, (neither does a smile but, at times, getting a smile out of someone is like trying to get blood out of a stone)!Take this morning, for instance,

We had a nice weekend away - almost all the way up to NY to meet up with our friends, Auds & G and baby Gaby, (gorgeous lil thing that she is) and Marls & Stu.It was great to see them again and the town we met up in was really nice - I liked it!It was a shame that Christina, John, Joanne and Tony couldn't make it this time as we've always had such a blast with the whole gang there.The lil man was

...Of our fortnight in the homeland!The lil man was a nightmare on the way over - he'd gotten all wound up from chasing around with some other kiddies in the airport and he was well overtired so, consequently, he had a good ole screaming fit for about the first hour or so but, thankfully, fell asleep before dinner so we could enjoy that in peace.He fell asleep before we could get him in his

And we have a possible 'winner' in the housing stakes!This lil beauty, (pictured left) is the one we want and is, pending the prospective landlord's approval, in the bag.It's situated just outside the town my parents live in and is just as good-looking inside as it is outside.The back garden isn't huge - it's part lawn and part decking, (perfect for ride-on toys for the lil man) and has a small

...And then we're off to the UK to go house-hunting!!!!I am sooooooo excited!I'm excited to be taking the lil guy on a plane again, (and he just loves planes) and to be showing my part of the country to both him and the Hubster!!He'll finally get to meet my dad, my other two brothers and my bestest mate, (whom I've known for, ohhh, 19 years now - blimey, how'd it get to be that long already)?!!

...Of my lil boy!Twice, this evening, he has brought over a pair of shoes. Now, you wouldn't think too much of this but, firstly, his shoes are all jumbled up in a box so it's not like they even sit together in pairs and, secondly, he is only 15½ months old!!!!He is sooooo clever! He just amazes me.He will also identify the colour blue - this he's been doing for a good few weeks. He will present

On crocheting, that is! I just can't seem to stop and while I'm working on this first project of mine I'm busy plotting the next or, in this case, taking time out from the first to start work on the second - I'm just an impatient mare!It started off as a quest to learn so that I could do crochet beadwork but it has developed into an all-consuming passion to knock out piece after piece of

Finally found five minutes, (while the lil guy is having his 'bubbles') in which to jot down a few happenings here.I've been busy in the run-up to our lil gathering of my fave ladies and their respective spouses in Philly, which happened last Saturday, what with getting on with my beading projects, painting an original pot in which to stand our fake lil Christmas tree, (not getting a full-sized

I've been mulling this over for the past couple of days before deciding to 'commit' this event to my blog but I've come to the conclusion that it's best to put these things down in writing so I don't have to mull over them anymore.A couple of nights back I met the most ignorant American I've ever had the misfortune to come into contact with.Now, I respect that someone, anyone, has the right to

...are such funny things!Take my lil man, for instance. He loves his books, can't get enough of them at home and spends so much time looking at them or bringing them over for us to read yet take him to the bookstore and all he wants to do is play with the train table!He's such an intelligent lil boy - he's figured out that if you press the button in the garage then the, (newly fixed) garage door

That bloody Blackeyed Peas tune, that is!!!After laughing myself silly at it almost every time I heard it I now have that tune going round and round and round in my head!I'm even cranking the car stereo when it comes on on the radio!"What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk?

...2 o' clock came and the lil guy woke!I'm not totally certain what the deal is with this - whether it really is teething or not but he didn't require any Tylenol to help get him back to sleep, (mind you, he did get a dose when he was in the bath but I'm sure it would've worn off by now - that was well over 4 hours ago)!Still, he's now laying on his back in the starfish position, head down

...I'm dragging the Hubster off to the docs again.After having the day off on Monday he was feeling better today, well, he was up until this evening.Two biggy painkillers later and he's still feeling the pain - time to re-evaluate.To top it off the poor guy only stumbled into the ladder of the bunkbed in the dark and stubbed his toe, bigtime!!! It didn't take his mind off the other pain - just

...with posting on here recently, (hence yesterday's post just to reassure myself that I am still capable of putting something, anything, on here)!We actually got downtown yesterday, for the first time in almost three months, to have lunch at ACME and see our friends in the jewellery store.They invited us to their 'red carpet do' on the evenings of the 2nd and 3rd of next month, which was dead

My brother's girlfriend finally had her baby - a lil girl, born today at 10.28am, (GMT) and weighing in at 7lb 3oz, (much to her mother's relief, I'm sure)!!!She named her Amy Anne. *L*I'm not sure whether her middle name was chosen because it's mine or not, (though it would be extremely flattering if it was the reason)!I'm looking forward to seeing some piccies of the family's newest edition,

I've not been posting on here these past few days cos I've either been tired, busy or both.I just don't know where my days have gone!The lil man's not been sleeping so well for a few nights which means I've not either. Hubs is still kipping downstairs but he is getting better, slowly. His rash is fading but he still has bouts of pain along the nerve which was affected. I had to get the poor guy

My friend received the groceries this evening, (the poor delivery guy had to haul it all up three flights of stairs to her but apparently did it all in one go)!!!! *L*She is pleased as punch, particularly as she'd just run out of milk for her lil guy and Pepsi for herself, (had to add some treats for her, she's had a rough time of it since moving to MD).Bless her! I'm so glad I could do a lil

This evening we received not one, not two but three 'begging' phone calls from the cops asking for donations!Since when have they been a bloody charity? Don't they get paid? Don't they have health insurance? Don't they pay social security and/or have their pensions set up? Don't they have college funds for their offspring?If they don't it isn't my bloody fault and they should get their house in

I don't really have time to be sitting around doing this but I thought I'd best put something down as the post I made yesterday vanished into thin air, (my own fault though)!I got the dude coming over this afternoon to fix the garage door, (finally - it's been broke since before I moved over here) and I have to get to FedEx to ship a watch off to it's new owner.I also have to get together a lil

YAY!!!!!!!!!!Guess he'd best start going to work then! LOLYes, he's had yet another day off though he did intend to go when he first got up this morning - even got as far as driving some of the way there before he hit a major traffic snarl-up and decided that enough was enough, (plus he had a long meeting scheduled for today which he didn't think he could sit through given that he is still in

But it's not - it's Halloween, well, almost anyway!I don't know what on earth I was doing these past two Halloween weekends but I know I can't have been at the mall - I'd have remembered being run over by hoardes of kiddiwinks and their grabby parents!!!The scale of this one pagan holiday is massive in this country - it's unbelievable!We made the mistake of going to the mall today.

Well, Hubs is feeling a tad better today, thankfully! Love the bloke, obviously, but men, when they get just the tiniest bit sick or in pain, on the whole, are the most annoying, whiny things ever!Just one lil sniffle and they're at death's door!!!I'm just glad that he's kept his disease to himself cos I definitely don't need it on top of my own problems.Now I'm going to drag him, against his

Some dick who came over and married on a tourist visa is trying to tell me that I don't know diddly about the K1 process and all the dos and don'ts - particularly when it comes to visiting the States.***insert rolling-eyed pissed off

Yes, it is I! Still up thanks to a certain lil person who decided that he didn't want to stay asleep.Well, may well have been partly my fault too as I brought my puter up from downstairs and thought I'd catch up on the latest Holby/Casualty happenings in bed, (I did have my headphones on though)!He's now wriggling around beside me in bed and is probably thankful, (despite his ignorance to the

Dunno what's going on here - I can't get to sleep!Hubs is downstairs kipping on the bunkbed, the lil guy is flopping around like a hooked fish in his crib and the dog has restless legs, that is, he won't just bloody lie down and stay there - oh no! He has to get up and wander around, maybe mosey on downstairs for a lap at his water and to click his b!tch nails on the floor of the kitchen. It's

Or, well, half a day anyway! *L*Hubs was feeling so poorly last night that I told him that he was going to see the doctor today instead of waiting til the weekend.He protested feebly, (well, not like he really had the energy to be doing much more than that anyway) and insisted that he really did have to go in for a lil while at least so I told him that I'd be phoning and making him an appointment

...With my wonderful Hubs at home! *L*He's actually been helpful while I've been recuperating from my visit to the mouth butcher.For the second night running he's let me sleep on my ownsome downstairs while he gets the bed upstairs - he also gets sole supervision of the lil man during the night which means I can get some restorative sleep down here, (which is the main aim of all this seperate

Well, kinda, sorta! It sure took some working to get that darn tooth out and it felt like the dude had hold of a nerve too!Now, touching a nerve doesn't hurt in your usual, traditional way - it's like touching metal paper to a filling - not fun!!!!!It seemed like it took him ages to get that lil bugger out - I don't remember the last one being so bloody hard to pull or taking so long either!Next

I will be having my first brush with the dental practise in this wonderful country this afternoon and it'll probably cost as much as a small used two door hatchback.I am so not looking forward to this!I detest going to the dentist and the price I have to pay is toothache. Ugh! Sometimes I wish they'd just pull the bloody lot out and give me dentures - teeth are nothing but a pain from the moment

Money makes the world go round, (if we didn't have money would the world be square)?!The aim is to have money, to make money, to live comfortably, to not have to worry about bills or whether you can afford something.Hubs and I would like to work from home, to make our money working for ourselves - my speciality being crafts, (I've made some necklaces which I hope to sell) and painting and Hubs'

Back again! I just wanted to spend some time writing about what we're looking forward to with this move of ours.I'm going to enjoy finding furniture for our place - scouring second-hand shops, that kind of thing. We should have the finances available, (at first, at least) for me to be a lil choosy about the decor and furnishings which means that I can make the place look real nice on a budget.

Just testing what this will come out like. The gifs don't seem to move as smoothly on here as they should though. I have some real good gifs that I've been waiting for just the right moment to use and, typically, they've not come up!Oh well!Now, time for something completely different!I was reading an article in Reader's Digest last night about a woman who writes about true crimes when it
