Only 366 Days To Go

Oh well it is all done with now for another year, most of us will now be getting the diet sheets out, yeah I know I am a party pooper!!!

Anyway I hope you all had a truly wonderful Christmas.

We had a really lovely Christmas dinner, that I cooked (first time in 3 years!) with the help of M&S, so I would like to say a big thank you to M&S (Marks & Spencer's) for providing me with some truly delicious food!

Of course Boxing Day (26th Dec) was spent with the Lad and the little Fella, which reminds me the lads partner wants a 'blog' nick name, and I can't think of one, so your ideas on a post card please!

Watching the little fella open his presents was priceless, he is now 2 and 1/2 and has come on so much, he is getting so tall and is very friendly and chatty, he will play and play with his toys, just like his dad used to be, it is just like turning back time watching him.

But the poor little fella stared to burn up, he cried when he tried to eat and his tongue was white and yucky, a trip to the doctors revealed he had thrush which was also infected, he is on a course of anti-biotic and some mouth drops, so hopefully will soon be back to his lovely joyful self.

Like a lot of you I only had two days off work, and went back to work on Thursday nice and early too!!! Now I am off again for 3 days in for 1 day off a day then back to normal working hours, I have sooooooo lost track of days and times, hands up who else is suffering from time loss!

Not sure if I can catch up on you all, just checked Google Reader and my you have been busy I have got 87 post to read!!!!

Anyway for those of you who are still off work enjoy your time with your loved ones, and for those of us who are back at work, just think there are only 363 days left till next Christmas!!!

And on that I will say TTFN

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to Each and Everyone

Hope your Christmas is filled with LOVE, HAPPINESS and PEACE

love from Katy, Terry and Mr Milo

x x

sorry if I don't get the chance to call and see you, looking forward to reading about your Christmas as soon as I can

take care x

Christmas Hoopla

Gawilli has 'tagged' me, she would like me to share my Christmas Hoopla: 12 random things about Christmas. And Me! Gosh this will be hard, might not make it to 12 so best get cracking on this one then!

1. As a child I was a 'searcher', would look all over the house trying to find hidden presents, I have even cut along the sellotape to peep inside to see what they were, how bad am I, well how bad was I as I don't do it now, no honest I don't!


2. One Christmas when the lad was about 5, he woke up and joined us for breakfast in bed, he had forgotten it was Christmas Day, we let him eat his toast, get washed and dressed and even suggested what we could do for the day! Those were the days!


3. I love snowmen, my tree has a snowman on the top, no angel, no star a snowman! When it snows I love making snowmen, yes even now at my age, with no children at home I will still go and make me a snowman!!! Told you I was mad!


4. Another Christmas I ran into the lad's room few days before Christmas shouting 'He's been, he's been Santa has been', hehehe the excitement on his face, mind you he was 13 at the time, I just needed to get him up! Good job my boy has a good sense of humour!


5. Haven't cooked a Christmas dinner in three years! Alas this year I am cooking, but just for me and himself, and I am really looking forward to it, I think!!!!


6. Love going to the Family Carol Service at church, and I try and get my friends to come along too. One year there were about 10 of us and I did Jacket spuds, only thing is I put them in the oven before we went to church, no I mean a few hours before we went to church, I enjoyed the skins, not much of the potatoes left, but the skins mmm. Have never lived this one down!!! Any one for jackets?


7. I found out Santa was not real when I was 4, so was determined to keep the wonder of Santa for as long as possible for the lad. What age did he get too?! 9, yes 9, and how did he find out the truth?! His bloody mum told him, well please he was 9! He looked at me, went off to his room for a while, came out with red eyes and said "Mum is he really not real?" I felt so guilty, so bloody guilty, but he had a great run didn't he? It might not have helped that the previous year he wanted something that we couldn't get, so we bought him a construction vehicle set, and I got a friend to write him a letter from Santa saying he was sorry he couldn't' get him the one he wanted but he hoped this one would make up for it! He loved it, in fact still got some of the cars, well they will be going to the little fella soon.


8. I still put these on the tree every year, the decorations the lad made.

9. Some of my favourite tree decorations are these, my lovely mum made them, and the card too, it goes out every year.


10. We searched for years looking for these Doves (the bird of peace), ever since himself saw Home Alone and they exchanged the two doves he wanted to do the same. We eventually found a box of 3 in Chester one year. So we exchange the Doves on our wedding anniversary and place them on the tree. The third Dove is with the lad.


11. Only ever had a real Christmas tree once, was very impressed that the needles didn't fall off too much over the Christmas season. But when I took it down, I dragged it through the lounge door and every single pine needle fell off!!! I was still hoovering up those damn things at Easter!!


12. As Gawilli says Every Christmas is Special, but don't forget what Christmas is really all about, try and take a moment or two to remember. Enjoy your Christmas, I know I will enjoy mine.

Well I enjoyed this Gawilli, thank you. I know everyone is busy getting the last minute shopping in, baking, cleaning, keeping the children calm, but if you fancy sharing your 12 please let me know as I would love to see what you have to say.

Look What I Got

I won this for the caption I wrote for this Now if you have never visited Casdok over at the Mother of Shrek, you are missing out on way too much. I have been calling over there now for a while, and this lady never ceases to amaze me, and I have learnt a great deal from C and his mum, thank you to you both, you are both wonderful people.
So off you go and pay them a visit.

My Forgetter

My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke

For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
If I really should be "there"
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,
Say "Hi" and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, "Who was that?"

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.

I posted this some time back, but on a recent post over at Hick Chic it just brought it to mind, so Heidi this is for you and the rest of us who have this forgetter problem!!So this is my list for today!

p.s. sorry people I did forget to tell you that I can not take credit for the poem, it was sent to me via e-mail some time ago

I know a few of you are tag shy LOL but I am going to tag Birdman , Chopski, DJKirkby, and Lite Kahless but you know you all are going to have a go don't you?! So go on then and let me know what yours is!

Started Just!

Thanks for wishing me well from the migraine, all gone, well slight fuzzy feeling but a lot better.

Finally started my Christmas shopping, yippee! I got soooooo excited!

You may or may not know of 'In the Night Garden', I don't, no honest I don't!

Well we had these toys in where I work, but then they sold out and have never come back in, so starting to get worried me and a friend kept looking out for them, couldn't find any.

Friday I took myself off to Toys r Us and guess what I bought, yep the one and only Igglepiggle! This is for my lovely friends adorable little man.

So in a nice calm manner, whilst jumping up and down and getting lots of strange looks, I rang my friend and asked her if she wanted me to get Upsy Daisy too!

So on a roll I took myself off to Argos to buy this for the little fella, trouble is it is only available for home delivery, seeing the size of the queue I decided to come home and order it on line.

It's not a big item, it isn't a heavy item so why its only available for home delivery at a cost of £4.95 beats me!

So order placed, item paid for, delivery date Tuesday 27th November between 7.00am and 6pm, means stopping in for the day, but hey its for the little fella so no problem.

Trouble is it is now 7.30pm and I am still waiting!!!!

Give you one guess who I have just e-mailed then!!!!

Not Playing Today

Just tried to call and see you all, but I am not playing anymore today I got me a headache and it is turning into a migraine, own fault really had a busy day and didn't eat anything till tea time, now I am afraid I am off to call God on the big white phone!

Catch up with you all tomorrow, hope you don't miss me too much!

Where Did It Start

Casdok showed us a photo of where her blogging started and invited us to do the same, so this is where I first became a 'blogger' back here in July 2006, gosh so long ago now!

But I very rarely blog there now! I now spend my time blogging heremuch more comfy, and not because there is no chair in the first photo, i just moved it out of the way LOL!

But you see I am spending sooooooo much time blogging, well you do all keep posting and I hate missing out, so I got me up and running on the lap top! Now I can keep up to date with you all even whilst cooking tea and watching TV. The only set back is that it drives himself crazy the constant tap tap tapping on the keyboard whilst I am leaving your all comments!

So those of you who have a stat counter and see that I have been and read but not commented it's not because I don't love ya its because I am trying to be silent!

There you have it, feel free to invite me to your blogging space.

Mr Milo to the Rescue

Mr Milo has a little friend called Molly, well I say a friend, should I say I have a very good friend who we will call S, who has a little dog called Molly, I introduced you to her when she was just a tiny little puppy last year.

We thought Mr Milo just tolerates her because he loves his auntie S!

Anyway this is our Molly now

Well I now have proof that he really does love her, you see whilst out walking Molly got stuck in a tree, oh no poor Miss Molly. Now although Mr Milo can be a wimp, yes I know he will be upset that am telling you that he can be a wimp, but it has to be said! But without any concern for himself he leapt straight to Miss Molly's rescue.Well done Mr Milo you deserve a rest!

I Have One

I have one

Your husband will have one

Your mother uses your father's one

And your auntie uses your uncle's one

A married lady would acquire one

But a divorced lady would lose her one

A Pope doesn't use his one

Madonna doesn't have one

The Chinese usually have short ones

While the Pakistanis usually have long ones

After your marriage your husband will give you his one!

Longer or shorter you have to take his one.

Are you afraid of taking a LONG one.

Do you want one?

How long do you want?

Which one is your preferred one?

Long one or short one

What you are thinking of?

Are you sure?

Its your Surname, what where you thinking of?

You`ve a Dirty mind!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to wish all my American friends A HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY, enjoy your celebrations

Its Nearly Time

I really can't believe how quick this year has gone, so quick that it is nearly time, you all think I am going to say that it is nearly time for Christmas don't you? Go on admit it that's what you thought I was on about!

Well WRONG! No not wrong that it is nearly Christmas, cause that is true, but I don't get excited about that until Biddie gets the Christmas Village out!

Oh sorry you still have no idea what I am rambling on about do you? I have a tendency to do this, just ask Himself!

OK, OK it is only 13 weeks, yes 13 weeks might seem like eons to you but honestly from when we first talked about it, then booked it, believe me IT IS NEARLY TIME!

FOR OUR HOLIDAY TO AMERICA

It was way back here when we booked it and I really thought it would never get any closer, and now it is getting closer I am getting more and more excited, but also I am feeling a wee bit scared.

Not too scared about the driving, well yes just a little bit, I love driving but the thought of driving in San Francisco on our first day is a bit scary, as it will also be rush hour, and our bed time!

The thing that I am a bit apprehensive about, OK I am very apprehensive about this, is being in Las Vagas! God it looks so bloody BIG!!!

Now the bad news is that next week we have to go and pay for the holiday, now that is really bad timing having to pay all that money so near to Christmas! But hey it will be worth having saved all year. So I really don't mind that Santa might miss me this year, honest I don't!

Oh well off to check that the money is still in the bank!

p.s. I did say it was nearly time, but it is still 13 weeks away, it's just that we booked it sooooo long ago, oh well only 13 more weeks to go!

Monkey River Dance

my virgin you tube post, taken me hours so bloody enjoy it!

Why?

Why am I soooooo tired?

Why when you are sooooooo tired you can't sleep at night time huh?!

Why does someone keep moving the letters around on my key board? Do you know how hard it is to type words wehn this happens!

Why do weeds grow in my garden, I mean I spend money buying plants, potting them in rich soil, I water them when it's hot, but still they die, yet the sodding weeds are free, I never water them, I stand on them, Mr Milo pees on them so WHY do they live?!

So sorry if I dont get round to reading all of your lovely blogs but I really am very tired.

Anger

I dropped the car off for it's service, when I went to collect it I noticed one tyre didn't have a shiny bit in the middle, yeah that wheel thingy bit, you know the thing I mean don't you?

So after a 30 minute wait a manager eventually came and told me that they had had to put on my spare tyre as I had puncture, well there was a great big nail stuck in the tyre, so yes I am glad they changed the tyre but so angry that they neglected to tell me when I collected the keys.

Oh guess what himself has had for Christmas, (yes he has had his present early), Sky +, I love it! It is sooooo clever, and soooooo easy to use, mmmm that's his present, mustn't tell him how much I am enjoying it!

But get this, I had a new toy too a Vax Carpet Washer, and he thinks that that is my Christmas present, yeah right, he gets to sit down and enjoy his present and I get to clean the carpets in the house! I DON'T THINK SO!

So for the Garage and himself thing about what I might do when I get ANGRY!

Sometimes when you are angry with someone, it helps to sit down and think about the problem

I Do Not Know Your Name

I do not know your name, but I know you died

I do not know from where you came, but I know you died
Your uniform, branch of service, it matters not to me

Whether Volunteer or Conscript, or how it came to be

That politicians failures, or some power-mad ambition

Brought you too soon to your death, in the name of any nation
You saw, you felt, you knew full well, as friend and foe were taken

By bloody death, that your life too, was forfeit and forsaken

Yet on you went and fought and died, in your close and private hell

For Mate or Pal or Regiment and memories never to tell
It was for each other, through shot and shell, the madness you endured

Side by side, through wound and pain, and comradeship assured

No family ties, or bloodline link, could match that bond of friend

Who shared the horror and kept on going, at last until the end
We cannot know, we were not there, it's beyond our comprehension

To know the toll that battle brings, of resolute intention

To carry on, day by day, for all you loved and hoped for

To live in peace a happy life, away from bloody war
For far too many, no long life ahead, free of struggle and pain and the gun

And we must remember the price that was paid, by each and every one

Regardless of views, opinions aside, no matter how each of us sees it

They were there and I cannot forget, even though I did not live it
I do not know your name, but I know you died

I do not know from where you came, but I know you died.

I found this poem, i found it very moving and wanted to share, it has a copy right so not really sure if I am allowed to post.

Male or Female?!

Objects can be Male or Female, here are a few to show you:


FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off it takes a while to warm them up again.
They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.

TIRES: Tires are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflate

HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt! yeah I know you man out there are going to say it should be a female object!

SPONGES: These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.
WEB PAGES:
Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.

TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.

EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom.

HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.

THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying
