Tea Party!

O we got a gold one!

Beloved thinking

So I am now working with adults with learning difficulties, and I so enjoy them but......................................................How do I explain this one to Miss J???

Knowing her well but not wanting to scare her, what do I say?

I knew I shouldn't have worried.  Miss J in her own little way "Mummy, the people you work with" "Yes?"  "Their brains have hiccups so that they don't work properly, don't they?" " Yes sweetheart they do".

Mr Grey

OMG these books have me hooked. Have read the first two in 2 1/2 days

The Torch

Hating Grandparents

Well hate might be too strong a word you decide.

So last term Nannie told Miss J if she wanted too learn a musical instrument she could, maybe the piano.

Miss J gets excited "I want learn the violin!"

Holy moly NO. Memmories of my sister learning come flooding back with terror attached.

So for a few weeks keep suggesting piano but no.

Anyways guess what came home today?  Yeap the violin!  Miss J oh so proudly shows me it's case then the violin and the bow. Then tells me what note is what, all the while Nannie is relistening to it (serves her right).

Dog in a pqnic at the noise, cats run screaming for the hills!

Very good Miss J.

Daddy's home and yeap you guessed it relistened to it again and Nannie

Miss J-isms

OMG another one ""My alarm clock did cockadoodledo, I can't belive me eyes it went cockadoodledo" how on earth am I suppose to keep a straight face???

Miss J-isms

talking with weather man on bbc "Yes it is cold, I'm not allowed out as I have a cough"

Miss J-isms

Nearly in a car accident - Miss J I am a tsunami!! You are definitely a force of nature :)

Hell!!

Well all hell broke loose!!!  Mum's been rushed into hospital with swelling on the brain.  They need to reduce it before they will do the biopsy.

Nope Mum's called again the cancer has spread into the brain.

I WANT TO SCREAM AT THE WORLD!

Tina's hysterical

Noisy Neighbours!!

Bloody noisy neighbours!!

So this morning I am stopped by a neighbour driving out of the drive "I think I've trapped your cat".

WTF!!! "What do you mean you've trapped my cat?"

"Well I've been speaking to the RSPCA as I thought she was a stray, so they gave me a trap."

"Okay well let's look."

So off we go with me thinking if it's Missie and she's caught her, what state is this woman's arms are like!!  Anyway yeap it's Missie, in this huge trap, so we let her go.

"Guess I should have asked first" YOU THINK!!! "Well there was a man throwing stones at her and she is so skinny".

"She's old.  Oh we will need to let the others in the close know too"

"Well you also have a dog.  I will need to call the RSPCA and tell them."

"What does that have to do with this?  And yes please"

So off to work I go.

Home as normal, WTF note throught the door from a RSPCA Inspector asking me to call her to talk about my cat!  So called and left my number, now have to wait.

Got the call, wonderful woman told her Missie is 13, her words "well that would explain the skinnyness, and it's not point in offering you vouchers for her to be spade as she will have been done"  Yes she has.  Also told her that up until last October we had 3 cats and the dog.

She confirmed that the case would be closed.  PHEW!!!

Family

Had an absolutely fabulous day.  Have made friends with Dad's Irish family.  It's been ace and I am buzzing!!  Family Tree growing again!

Secret

Miss J has gone to Nannie's for 2 weeks and will be off to the continent for her magical mystery tour. How we've managed to keep it from her that she's visiting our family in Germany is amazing!!

HAVOC!!

Caused havoc today in the new pet shop!  Mummy decided that as they were giving free mircochipping away that I needed to get one.  Okay we got there at 10.15 for 1100 as Mummy said there would be a HUGE queue.  We got there first, so we had to wait.

There was this man who was talking to Mummy about me!  She was talking about me growling.  And kept mentioning that I am more cat than dog.  Wonder what she meant.  But he seemed to make her smile.

So then this "lovely" lady came out and gave me a big fuss then hurt me!  Mummy put my muzzle on and held my head and this man came and held my bum.  So I GROWLED a lot!! Then I had a hurt in my shoulder.  Mummy was very impressed with me.

Walked around the store waiting for Daddy and Jorja to come into the shop.  Lots of other dogs so I growled at them too.  Then this man gave me some treats to try and get me to say hello to his dog, nope.

Miss J-isms

"well done jorja" "it's not the winning mummy it's the taking part" me told off lol

hilariously Miss J is playng two players on the Wii !!!

Fight!!

bloody unsocialable animal I have!  Both now covered in blood.  God if the police had seen me they would have thought I had murder someone.  And it's the tiniest little nic in her lip, might teach her behave!

Mum

Well Mum's called (while I was out with Liz) the cancer has spread to her lung.  Emotional wreck is the understatement!  Both Mum and Andrew are saying I shouldn't worry.  Okay so that's like telling me not to breathe, it just ain't gonna happen!

Mum's very positive, and seems that the hospital is already got a plan.

Why?

Why do I do it? tape something knowing that I will be a blubbering wreck by the end of it - watching The Last Lions.Andrew doesn't say a thing and just hands me tissues!!!

Old memories

Miss J totally engrossed in Greystokes the Ledgend of Tarazan!! I remember watching this when we a lot younger, Tina and I giggling at the naked man in it as we were watching it with Pops!!

Mum says "It was when he peed over the others that sent you and Tina into fits and yes Pop was there too. It was a Sunday and he had been out for his dinner too"

New Year Oddities

So new year new start for me.

So still looking for a job but I am temping and I hate it! 

Call centre making calls to try and increase donations for charities.  Well if you know me, I like to talk.  Okay I love to talk :)  But this job is so hard you have a script that you can't deviate from and that is just not me.  Oh well, things are sent to try us.

I did have an interview at another farm it's exactly the same job I have been doing, so maybe.  Keep your fingers crossed.

So wondering where this year will lead me...................................

I am hoping to see friends all over the country, Corby, Borehamwood, Hull, Birmingham, Glasgow and Cornwall.  When is a different matter!

I am seriously trying to set up the crafting business so that's one plan for the year
