Taz.... I take your moobs and raise ya!

I raise my hand and admit that I am not worldly wise and I had no clue what a "Moob" was ....

however... fabulous Taz from Cut it and pin it has luckily taken me under her tutelage and explained the moob to me.... however after seeing her image of Jack Nicholson Moobs I have tracked down a picture that has opened up many more questions to my obviously tired and yet curiously overactive mind.....

the more I look at this picture the more I think the following....

1. I am certain that I have seen films with a buff muscly John Travolta... whats happened?
2. what's he doing with his hands?
3. why are his shorts all puffed out, and whats so funny?... have you farted!
4. I never realised he had a count Dracula hair line!
5. I am not sure that this is Mr Travolta at all.... :|

I can only assume that a) the heat is getting to me and b) I need some sleep...

trouble is I might have nightmares about MOOBS!

So I need to surround myself with images such as these.....

But now I have another dilemma..... smooth shave or

Hairy....

I know.. I know... I really need to go and lie down somewhere shady and drink plenty of water...
perhaps I have sun stroke! lol

off to have a cup of tea...
I will be back with some photo's of my almost, nearly there kitchen revamp and some more crochet projects that I am trying to complete...

Thank you all for your lovely words of kindness and support... you really are the best friends a girl could have...
I am feeling a little better I have cleared out a box of kitchen stuff that never gets used and I have sold the three lots I put on eBay...
I have to say I am looking forward to a little cooler weather tomorrow and I have a sore throat and a bunged up nose and burning sinuses... trust me to catch a cold with weather like this! ;D

take care all you lovely people

So dissapointed......

with myself....
each and every day I have so many plans and desires of tasks that I want to accomplish and I seem to be getting nowhere...
I don't think my plans are too big or even complicated its just clearing and cleaning and sorting out but something always seems to crop up that means changes to plans and the things I really want to get done just don't happen...

I have loads of "stuff" that I really don't need anymore and my head tells me to car boot it or eBay it but my heart just wants it gone sooner rather that later.... and my home de-cluttered and stress free.... I am tempted to car boot on Sunday morning but as I box things up I am at a loss to know where to store them... we have no room for stacking things, no spare bedroom, second living room or hall it is on occasions like these that you crave for space and I wonder if this is why I find myself taking much longer than I should to hang the washing or water the plants out in the garden away from all the clutter....

It probably doesn't help that I am feeling mentally exhausted and my physical energy is depleted too...perhaps you have experienced the "I am too tired to cook but eating junk just makes you even more tired!" its that vicious circle that just needs effort to break free from...

My brain keeps wandering off and contemplating all manner of things generally of a philosophical nature and I have to work hard to keep it focused on the mundane and everyday tasks that await my attention...

Mr P must of fallen asleep while playing sudoku on his phone and he dropped it behind the head board which clanged its way to the floor and shot me awake like a startled rabbit...
Danny was up in the early hours... he had a blocked nose... once I had sorted that out he was back asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow and didn't even remember it this morning...

This morning he was "not right" but he has livened up this afternoon... has eaten a little bit of this and that... all he complained of was a bad tummy... and I have heard him cough once or twice...

I am going to pull my finger from my derriere and get my rear in gear and miracle a meal with some kind of nutritional value out of my half finished kitchen... Mr P (bless him) spent this weekend scraping rubberised kitchen paint of the walls... should we ever move house (again) Mr P has vowed never to buy a house with this type of paint on the walls... he was not amused.., dusty.... but not full of the joys of life... unfortunately the kitchen is just the beginning and I think the lounge (our other room) will be next.... that will involve more scraping... but of the wood chip wall paper variety... the previous owner lurvved wood chip....

anyway off to search my little freezer for inspiration... something simple and nutritious....?

I know there's a chocolate fudge cake in there... never consumed for Mr P's Birthday treat... probably not the ideal meal for tea time... but would perhaps put a smile on Jamie and Daniel's faces! lol

Tarra for now my lovelies

English Garden Crochet along......

I have joined the ranks of Ravelry and I was introduced to the world of crochet along by Jenn at Yarn addicts anonymous....

I am using Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton and I have absolutely no clue how big its going to get and how the colours will change as I progress...

Amanda Perkins aka Queenieamanda
is designing a flower a month until September 2010... so this shawl/blanket has the potential to be quite big... so long as I have enough yarn! lol

I have about 3 more projects on the go so I will take photo's soon and share more crochet creations with you

cheers for now
take care

Oh My.... What a shambles!

Well I just have to say I cannot believe what I am hearing about people being turned away from polling stations.... and one polling station ran out of ballot papers... this is riveting to watch and wonder what will happen next!

its 12:25am and I am shattered... but I don't think I can go to bed! lol

who would have thunk it... I am mesmerised by this whole event!

;D

Choose a colour.... any colour!

I am not a political Know it all and I do not profess to understand everything that the politicians ramble on about, and they are all very confusing which has left me in a quandary.....

Do I do the typical car thing.... for example.... when Mr P has in the past discussed a possible car change or update and waffles on about the ins and outs of a ducks arse my tremendously pressing question for him is ....


What colour is it!

So with this in mind do I try to make head nor tail of the ramblings of the political mumbo jumbo or do I think.....


which potential leader looks nice? or ....if all three were in a pub and I walked in which one would I be most likely to strike up an conversation with?

To be honest I am not going to answer that question here as my decision about who I vote for is just that.... my decision...
but rest assured I will drag Danny down to the village hall on Thursday and choose someone mainly because its my duty to take part in a decision that will shape the future of our country and if I don't make the effort

I have absolutely no right to moan when the people in charge cock it up...
which they will because they do not go into 10 Downing Street with a clean sheet and get to start over... they are playing with all the cards stacked against them with their bank account firmly up the creek.....
No-one knows what the future will bring and each of the main gangs in the playground have some good ideas and some bad ones that will affect my family for the better and for the worse...

The nerdy kids with their systems and contracts want this,


the sporty kids with all their pent up energy want something else and the run to teacher, follow the rules kids want to have it their own way too ....

but at the end of the day if you don't want to vote for any of the three main gangs then at least vote for someone... take a look at one of the independent runners and support someone.....

otherwise I'll have no-one to moan with when it all goes tits up!

I feel very lucky to live where I live and I try every day to appreciate the things I take for granted like free health care, good schools and government funded financial help (should I ever need it) we could be so much worse off.... yes things have slipped and perhaps if more people stood up and said "oi.... I am not happy with ....." then perhaps something might get done...

but the long and short of it is

please be "bovvered"....!

Here endeth the rant!

Normal creative postings will resume in the next few days.... today the sun is shining and I am off to mow another lawn.... still haven't done my own! lol

take care

N.B I managed to get mum's friends lawn mowed.... but I think I might have worn out my mower..... its an electric one and it now sounds like a chuntering petrol engined one.... Mr P says I have no mechanical sympathy..... do you know.. he could be right! ;D
