Last weekend

I cannot believe that am only posting this now. Where has the week gone? It is Friday already....Red Nose Day.

Last Saturday we went to Leamington Spa. DH bought bits for the THE BITCH - here she is!

and some gratutitous BITCH PRON shots

DD went to TopShop and bought a very cute skirt - picture of which will be posted later, she is wearing it to school as Red Nose Day is also non uniform day, and I managed to go to Web of Wool and only buy some bamboo circulars:

but they are nice aren't they!!??? I think I may be buying some more!
Oh, and on the way there we went past these little fellas:

Actually, DH delibrately drove down this road, just so we could take piccies for the blog.

Isn't it great, living in the depths of Warwickshire. I should be able to get photos of the camels too :-)

Then, we went to Sainsbury's and bought these:OREOS

My idea of heaven. There were originally 10 boxes; we did get some funny looks at the checkout, but it was worth it. Look at that for a photo!!!!!!!! Not as good as the american ones, but they'll do.

On Sunday, DD cooked some beautiful scones, but with the Bonne Maman Jam and the clotted cream, they were eaten way before we could get a photo :-)

And.......I think I may have my knitting mojo lurking there somewhere. The photo with the new needles is a new project, but I can't say anything more about it as the recipient does read this blog, even though "they" may not post a lot ;-) Hope you like it.

I am off to meet DD for a cuppa in town at 4pm, and then it is a chinese with a bottle of wine in front of Comic Relief- and yes, I voted for Tara, well it would have been rude not to after her performance of Nancy Sinatras "These Boots are made for walking" last night....I don't usually vote for this kinda thing, but it is for Comic Relief, and she was funny!

I also now have a red button that works - I have only been waiting 7 years, and I have 2 men fixing our flat roof...goodness, can it get anymore exciting!

Look what I got

What a lucky person I am, look at my spoilage!

First up:

I lurve Kitchen Cotton - the camera hasn't done it many favours, it is actually "Seaspray", and looks just as you would imagine it!

Next:

DD and her lipgloss - it was very well received and quickly disappeared into one of a thousand handbags! And yes, she does seem to stand in that spot a lot doesn't she! She posed there for the scones and also for the pancakes - at least this time she hadn't got her pyjamas on ;-)

Next: Cat Shots:

Let me introduce you to Archie -forgive the looks, he is really quite nice! He has just lost his life long friend - Skippy. They were together for 16 years :(

He has settled down well though.

Look what he received in the SP parcel from Chocolate Bear, a catnip mouse. His reaction was startling, he started leaping around like a kitten, and then collapsed in a heap after about a minute. But as you can see from the piccies he is hardly the fittest cat on the planet, but in case you are wondering, he is on a diet hee hee!

Here he is saying thank you for the pressie!

Then he went to bed!

The chocolates have been eaten, the card is on the mantlepiece and the roses are lined up to finish off a cardigan.

DH and THE BITCH

Have I introduced you to DH? Have I explained that I am a bike widow?

Let me introduce you to THE BITCH! She arrived today, and is already taking over the house. This is bitch No 4! Yes, he has FOUR!!!!!

Can you believe that you pay all that money, then they don't come with pedals - go figure?!?!?!

At least he can't complain about my yarn stash EVER again!
