Repair Time Again....

Today I have had to have a man out to look at my sofa as one side is drooping.

(Yes it is my side, a true sign I need to loose a few pounds stones)

Unfortunately it can't be fixed at home and needs to go to the work shop.
So we shall be sofa-less for at least three days!

Makes me wonder what the third thing to go will be?

(Please make it some thing that won't cost an arm or leg to fix)

That's a "wonder whats next?' face.
Dress - George (eBay)
Cardy - M&S
Belt - River Island 

But on the upside we are getting ready for our jollies to the Lake district and I can't wait.

We hope to go off on lots of walks and even if it pees it down we can return to a nice warm drink in our home from home.

Very, very old George shoes.

Ashleigh and her boyfriend will be looking after Whiskas and the chucks and I know they will enjoy having the place to themselves.

Not sure what state the house will be in but as the saying goes what you don't see won't hurt you!

Debenhams Shoes Fail Again....

When will I learn?

Every time I have shoes from Debenhams they disintegrate faster than an ice cube in tea.

(well not quite but far faster than they should thats for sure!)

I brought these at the end of August and they are falling apart.

 

Plus to add insult to injury they had even over priced both of the pairs I purchased.

(Obviously not bothered by Retail Law or any other law then?)

Oh well back they go.

Lets hope their customer service is better than the quality of the shoes.

Cats And Dogs....

Yes the rain is still lashing down, but carry on regardless we do.

Thank the lord for brollies eh?!

So Monday morning means back to the grind stone.

And I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be staying at home with a nice cuppa and a good book.

Roll on Friday.

Did I mention I am off on my holidays on Saturday for week?

Mega excited and even if the weather is pants, the break from work will be fabulous.

The View From My Window....

Not a very nice one is it?

I know we can't complain as we have had good weather up until now, but its feeling rather cold and very wet here at the moment.

So my plans (after getting soaked feeding the chickens and collecting eggs) is housework, ironing and a lot of cooking.

The family are all with us today so a yummy roast and scrumptious pudding will be on the menu.

Enjoy your day what ever you are up to.

Pumpkin Pie anyone?

Our allotment has done us proud yet again this year.

With masses of yummy vegetables and fruit.

However the one that has both the girls ecstatic has been these:

11 of our (dirty) pumpkins and one lonely butternut squash.

Our fabulous pumpkins!

And whilst they don't look very large in this photo they are all great sizes.

Believe it or not we only grew them to fill a little space and fill it they did!

And whilst I am sure one (or two) will be used by the girls for Halloween the rest shall be eaten.

I have no idea in what recipes though.

Anyone got any tasty pumpkin recipes for us to try?

Shame I couldn't spend more time up at the lottie today but the weather has been dire.
Lets hope tomorrow is a little better.

Chick, Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken... Lay a little egg for me...

Let me introduce you to our new additions to the family:

Maisy, Daisy, Rosy and Poppy.

They are very friendly ladies and began laying straight away.

Who knew I would enjoy owning chickening!

I'm not quite ready to hang up the heels just yet mind.

Change Alice To Trayci As I Discover Wonderland....

On our last week away, one of the places we traveled to was Anthoy in Torpoint Cornwall.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a huge Tim Burton fan and as this had been the set for the film Alice in Wonderland we had to see it.

The grounds were lovely.

Inside was filled with some stunning artwork.

Every part of the garden was indeed enchanting.

And Andy behaved like a silly child the whole time!
It was fab.
