renovations

hi there folks well we have been busy renovating for the summer which seems to be slowly arriving!!! we have taken out the dining room window and put in french doors so that we can sit out in the sunny area beside the pool. with the new pool shed and the nice new seating area its lovely. all we have to do to that area now is get a glass fence to comply with the safety regulations for the pool. we have also closed off the front room and computer room so that when we get visitors (yes you dad!!) there is somewhere for mikey to sleep. trust me i slept on the sofa bed when rho and rob were here and its not comfy!!!! i will post pics of that when its finished and i have decorated it! then all we have to do is paint, paint and more paint!!! wish i could afford to pay someone to do that for me!! but renovations cost money and as michael says rome wasnt built in a day!!! then we can start on the side garden, i want to rip it all up, push the walls back to the fence and then grass it all for the dogs. my colleague at work has built a little chalet type thing in her back garden and i want one too, then there will be plenty of room for visitors and mikey can move out there!!!!

home improvements

hi folks, hear you've been having good weather congratulations!!!!! its winter here and its been raining on and off. its not as cold as winter in scotland (thank god!) As you can see michaels winter working wardrobe consists of fleece, hat and shorts???? we have just ripped down the old asbestos fencing at the side of the house and replaced it with nice new shiny colourbond, it now matches the rest of the fencing on the side of the house. michael has also made a new gate the old one had too big gaps in it and the dogs could get their paws through and it made me sad when i had to go to work and they'd be crying and trying to get through to me!! another job done and about 101 still to go!!!! will keep you folks updated. love yas xxx

puppy power!

meet mirrin! she is 7 weeks old and a jack russell puppy. she was born on my mums birthday which is quite spooky cos hamish was born on snaps birthday!!! something going on me thinks!! shes a little cutie and is paper trained already, the only bad thing is she doesnt like to sleep alone, she cried all night! if i thought that hamish wouldnt eat her or whine to get to me then i would leave them together but shes just a bit little for that yet and hes a little too rough.

stevis 16th birthday

rain and horrible weather

well today is stevis 16th birthday, we are off to get her belly button pierced and her nails done. then its off to the moon tonight for dinner. we have had pretty shite weather lately, lots of storms and rain, its made my limestone green!! we had to borrow the pressure washer from michaels work to clean it!! as you can see we had a bit of fun too. michael made some new gates for the side of the house. it means that we can stick the dog round the side if he is getting on peoples nerves, (he barks when we are in the pool!). look dad i even made him stand in front and get his picture taken!!!!!
