Biddie's DARE

Biddie was tagged and says -"I don't know who to tag. I would like to hear 7 unknown facts about all of my blog buddies, so go ahead. I dare you."

OK I love a dare so off we go..........

1. My big toe nails and the nail bed were removed due to ingrowing toe nails, but I have two sliver's of nails that grow out of small holes on my left toe! -So paint those toe nails!!!!!!!


2. I had four moles removed off my face (my lovely granny had moles and they grew hair out of them), loved the moles hated the fact that they might produce all the hair, trouble is I still have hair growing out of two of them!!! - Reminds me time for a pluck!!!!!!!!


3. Me and a friend got really muddy whilst playing round a building site, took our socks off and threw them away in between the breeze blocks of the new houses being built! We have often wondered if they ever gave of fumes!!!!!


4. On the same building site the foreman had a caravan as his office, this caravan had a phone in, this caravan was left unlocked, this same friend and me used the phone to ring all our friends! !!!! This caravan soon had a lock put on it!!!!


5. I love dry cider and coke, no I mean in the same glass!!!!


6. I failed my driving test the first time reasons included speeding!!!!I would love to drive a racing car!!!!!!


7. I have been known to sleep walk. Out of the house in the snow wearing only a nightie to a friends house three doors away, hope I don't do this anymore, but who can tell?

So there you have it, I enjoy a tag or a dare!

So who's playing then?

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?!

Why when a snail loses its shell doesn't it just become a slug?!

Why can't we cry under water?!

OK enough WHYS lets have some truths:

6 Truths of Life

1. You can not touch all of your teeth with your tongue!
2. All idiots after reading this first truth, try it!
3. The first truth is a lie!
4. You're smiling now because you are an idiot!
5. You soon will tell this to another idiot!
6. There's still a stupid smile on your face!

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.

by Kenny Martin © 2003

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

Keys to Longevity

Thought you might have had enough of the Scotland photos so here is something completely different!

Keys to longevity
One day I saw a wonderful old gal sitting on her front step, so I walked up to her and said, "I couldn't help noticing how happy you look! What is your secret for such a long, happy life?"

"I smoke ten stogies a day," she said. "Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint. All my life I've eaten only junk food and I put away at least a fifth of Jack Daniels every week. On weekends I pop pills, and never do any exercise at all."
Absolutely, absolutely amazing, I thought, and asked, "How old are you?"
"Twenty-four," she replied.

ps if you don't already read Chopski, please call over he has written me something that is fantastic!

Scotland - Part 1

Jedburgh Abbey - was our first stop.

the Fourth Bridge over the Firth! This is two bridges running parrell, the train bridge and the road bridge.

I just love the autumn colours, this is the road to Loch Ness

My first view of Loch Ness

Loch Ness is 23 miles long and 1 mile wide, its deepest point is 754 feet.

and for all of those who doubted her here is the lovely Nessie!

We had a little stroll to see the Falls of Foyers

and then a little rest!

Next was Fort Augustus, by now the rain was setting in so we only managed a quick look round here, a view of one of the many ladder of locks on the Caladonian Canal!

on the edge of Loch Ness is Urquhart Castle, again due to the heavy rain we did not manage walk round here

Ben Nevis was not visable at all sorry, but one of my favourate places in Scotland is the Pass of Glencoe

Hope you have enjoyed the little tour of the Highlands in Scotland, a few more photos to show you of Loch Lomond and Stirling Castle.

Back - Call on Sunday

back safe and sound, busy playing with and cuddling Mr Milo today, and of course washing and shopping!

had a great time please call on Sunday/Monday and I will have a few photos for you to browse.
