I got one

HI
I finally took the plunge and got my craft robo. It arrived last Wednesday and apart from doing a test cut on Wednesday night I haven't had chance to play with it. When i took saffi to the vets on Thursday i had to lift her into the car and managed to hurt my back and rip a tendon in my ankle! So I haven't been able to sit at a chair long enough to have a play, but today my back is feeling fine although my ankle is still very sore.Ian is back home tomorrow so I can rest my foot and hopefully soon will be able to post a robo card...
I am so glad I didn't buy tickets for the craft fair in advance for this weekend as i wouldn't have been able to go :( So instead I am going to have a crafty weekend with my mum as she is coming up for the weekend as it is my birthday on Sunday and I can't Waite as she has bought me the Whiff of Joy spring set :)
take care and thanks for stopping by

A great Loss

Say Cheese


(marcus, nathan and saffi)

(my brother with Marcus and Saffi)
Well this past week has been the most horrid I can remember in a long time. Last Thursday I had to send our beautiful girl to the Rainbow Bridge. It was the last thing I could do for her as she had a stroke in the morning, and could hardly walk and was in a lot of pain. Everything happened so fast and the boys never got to say goodbye to her, and neither did Ian as he was teaching down in cornwall. I think we all went in to a state of shock for 24 hrs. It is still really hard to walk into the house and not see her there wagging her tail when you come in. The amount of scraps i have gone to chuck in her bowl and have ended on the floor because her bowls aren't there anymore is amazing. The silly little things that you do without thinking.


She is at peace and out of pain now, although it was the best and kindest thing we could do for her it still hurts.


RIP Saffie you were greatly loved and sadly missed

Snow fun

Had more snow today and all the schools are shut much to Nathan's and Callum's delight.
Went down to Asda this morning to get Marcus his first pair of wellies and the only ones they had in his size were Pepper Pig. Poor child I hope he won't hold it against me for ever. Mind you when he goes out to play with sky, Kay and Charlie(female also) he will fit in well as they all have pepper pig wellies too. So they can call them selves the pepper pig wellie gang...lol ! Oh dear I think I had better stop here....
Thanks for stopping by and stay safe no matter where you are
