YES................its me singing............

Ahem..........

*hides*

Piccies are fun though!!
They include the handsome men (AND dog) in my life!!
Colin in his white "Pertwee" shirt at home in Surrey!
Derek, hubby with beard and long hair....
...and some hunky chaps who I have no idea who they are, but I woulden't mind finding them in my stocking! LOL!!!

Oh and some piccies of 70's toys that I actually got for Christmas as a kid at some point...Ingre the Troika...I am loopy!!!!!!!!

.........and I have one!!!
A real nasty one too!!!
Methinks last night I must have dropped off too sleep doing a head stand or somthing as this morning I have this horrible pain in my right shoulder!...maybe I have over done the cleaning up a bit and pulled a muscle or somthing!
You see I have been blitzing my home making it ready for Christmas and this has even involved getting out the drill and putting up some shelves which I did yesterday! Its silly realy but I am sensitive to very loud noise so when I am using a drill I have to stuff my ears with cotton wool...still, I made a neat job of it, and its another place to store my vases!! My best friend with the cleaning though this week has to be Cillit Bang! I have absolutly Cillet Banged the houe to death!! Its the "floor" version but watered down it will clean almost anything even my hated white leather 3 piece suit....Let me explain why its hated....For 4 years after we moved here we were stuck with Dereks Mums old suit and it was horrible. Now while I was away on a travel agents educational to Turkey I cam home to find this brand new, white leather 3 piece suit! a: leather is a pain in the arse to clean. b: its animal skin which I dont like, and c: its not even that comfy!!
"I thought we were going to choose a suit together!" I had moaned to Derek, and he had replied that he saw this suit and fell in love and so just bought it....a year or so down the line and we got Sirius who has promptly covered it in claw marks, and being white it gets absolutly filthy if left! (I could have almsot coped with a black or brown suit) Well untill now I have been experimenting with cheeper ways to clean it, other than using expensive leather cleaner, and one of my methods was waterdown weak bleach, but it made the suit smell awfull!!!....Enter Vicky's friend good old Cillet Bang!!! About half a capfull in two litres of boiling water, some yellow rubber gloves, and good old fashioned elbow grease and my suite is sparkling like new again!!!
Any way I wont go waffling on about my cleaning routine....and I am having a day off today!
Mum called this morning and I think she was going to ask me to come to town with her, but NO!!!!! I refuse point blank to go into town on any Saturday between now and New Year as its soooooooooo MANIC!!! Only the brave dare Northampton town centre on a weekend where Christmas shopping is involved, and gangs of teenagers mill about in groups, getting in the way, not to mention massive "four wheel drive" prams being pushed two at a breast by chav mums no older than 18!!! What is it with this fashion for huge prams???? Does it mean the bigger and more bulky your pram is the better a parent are you???...and if you dont get knocked over by legions of super prams, your bound to get knocked over by an electric wheel-chair zoooming along like its rocket powered!!!! Northampton town centre realy is an assult course this time of year, and certianly not for the faint hearted........than goodness I have already done all my Christmas shopping!!
