The greatest concert…..

that never was!  I’ve just been to see the Michael Jackson film and although I’m not a mega-fan I do think he was a very talented person!! 

It was a good movie and talking of movies I’m going to post ‘my favs’ once a week as suggested on Shim’s prompt today so here goes…..

Five Fav Films…..

• Gone With the Wind
• Gladiator
• Shrek
• Alien
• Chicago

Thanks for taking time to pop by my blog!

Day two…..

of Shimelle’s prompts for a better, more informative blog!

This afternoon we had a rather nasty surprise or should I say Dexter did ~ poor fella!  Luckily Adrian happened to be looking out the kitchen window when he spotted a dog chasing Dexter around the back garden.  He went out to shoo the dog off and I managed to catch Dexter and brought him indoors to see if he was OK, which luckily he was.  After a little hug and some soothing words he settled down for a little  while on the settee beside me.  Adrian found out that the dog belonged to a workman working two doors down from us who wasn’t keeping an eye on him whilst he was working…grrrr.

I’ve decided not to go down the layout route for this project at the moment and just concentrate on the blogging aspect of Shim’s class.

Disappointed…..

I don’t know if it’s me being really thick or my stupid PC set up or tiredness or what but I’m just not getting on with the instructions for Google Reader and how to set it up.  I’m giving up for today and hopefully will have more time and patience tomorrow maybe.

Having just read the 1st prompt I downloaded yesterday.....I would like to add that my intentions for this blog over the coming weeks/months/years is to commit myself to blogging at least 3 times a week and to adding photos to each upload. 

Strictly Saturday….

You wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to order a few CD Calendar Cases on-line.  You can have 200 or 500 but if you just want 5 or 10 you’ve had it!  Anyhoo… got some ordered (20 minimum order)from a company called Jetcase, just hope Postman Pat can find it in his heart to deliver them before Christmas!!  Grrrr!

Was in town at the crack of sparrows this morning with Megz…..I hate Swindon town centre these days, they seem to be making a right mess of it everywhere you look.  I bought a new mascara, some jazzy tights and   some pretty papers!  Oh and also some sweets for the trick or treaters tonight……if we get any.  Didn’t have anyone come calling last year.

Can’t wait for Monday to roll around so we can start out Blogging for Scrapbookers class with Shimelle.  Thanks very much to everyone who has been leaving comments it’s much appreciated!

Finally Friday…..

Friday at last….woo hoo!

I went for a nice long walk with Milo to Avebury today (my spiritual home) and took some photos.  Felt a lot better for some fresh air and exercise. 

Finished another LO too – this is for this week’s challenge on UKS.   That’s it for today, just on my 2nd glass of vino….cheers!

Reasons to be cheerful….

I have been off work today and feeling very low and fed up (money worries) but having read a few blogs been for a long walk with the dog I now feel a bit brighter and have decided to make myself list 5 reasons to be cheerful today!

1. I still have my Mum and Dad
2. Everyone in my immediate family is healthy
3. I’ve just made my first birthday card in ages and am pleased with it
4. I have one or two really good friends who really care for me
5. I love scrapbooking

This is the card….it’s for my DD’s friend and she wanted me to us this photo of them.  It’s fairly simple but looks OK I think.
I took a couple of photos of our rabbit, Dexter, yesterday.  He was stretched out in the sun.  He’s only 3 months old yet so I think he’s gonna be a big boy when fully grown.


Forgot to say that the picture from yesterday is of our guinea pig, Roxy, who sadly has gone over Rainbow Bridge now.

Test post

This is to see if I’ve cracked inserting pictures yet….

The sun is shining…..

What a lovely day it’s turned out to be!  Started off quite murky and grey but the sun broke through and it was a lovely afternoon, very warm! 

 

 

 

Day started off with my dreaded sebaceous cyst leaking, so DH had a go at it and quite a lot of puss came out….yewww!  I can’t wait to be rid of the bloody thing!! 

 

Bought a copy of Scrapbook Inspirations today as I believe it is ceasing publication so I thought I’d get one last issue.  It’s not a mag I buy religiously (in fact I don’t buy any religiously) but it is a good mag and will be missed from the shelves I’m sure.

Have started to comment on Facebook again as I got out of the habit and it’s quite a good way of keeping up with friends and family (if I remember!).  

Tentative Tuesday….

Well here we are on the 2nd day of blogging and I have downloaded Windows Live Writer as recommended by fellow bloggers.  This is supposed to make life much easier in blogland and so I’m willing to give anything a go – so onwards and upwards.

Nothing much new to report today (as always)   because I live such a boring life, however I will try to post a couple of recent pictures to jazz this post up a bit!

Blogging for scrapbookers....

Once more into the breach dear friends.....

Inspired by Shimelle's latest on-line class ~ Blogging for Scrapbookers I am going to resume posting to my blog (again) but hopefully (with Shim's help) it shall look prettier and be more informative and fun.
