updates

well folks i know i am a slack tart for not updating this often but i've been busy living the life!!! its hot and sticky here at the moment and when i am not at work am spending the time in the pool and sunbathing. right heres the update. stevis got a fiance and a job!!! here she is pictured with jahden on christmas day. i know they are only 16 but if i say no she'll run off to scotland and get married!!! jay now lives with us, which again i know is not ideal but again if i say no then god knows where they would end up!! she starts work at the hospital i work at on the 19th of jan as a nurses aid, she will attend college as well and in 18 months have a formal qualification. if she wants to the hospital will pay for her to go to uni and do her nurse training. murrae continues to work like a trojan so he can get money to buy all his little gadgets. mikey is just a piss head who needs to move out!!!!!!!!!!!! michael and i are just working and enjoying life here. we have had a few social outings with our good friends sharmain and paul and look forward to helping them celebrate their engagment in a couple of weeks at almars winery/brewery. my dad and alison arrive in 12 days and cant wait for this to come round. then its a few weeks off work while we all enjoy the summer. got a few things planned some i can write about and some i cant just yet. hope everyone had a good chrimbo and new year and i will keep everyone posted. love yas all xxx

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!!!!

stevis trip into fashion

well i know that i moan about her constantly and she really is the bane of my miserable existance but i am really proud that stevi and her college class mates entered a carbon friendly wedding dress into the perth fashion show this week! here she is with the dress and her colleagues. both at college and at the show itself, and even on the runway!!! xx

and arm lazy!!!! xxxx

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

here a few pics of stevis 16th birthday dinner. it was fookin lurvely!!

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!!!!!
