I always consider myself as not much of a people person, but I really had fun this weekend.  My enthusiastic splatting of the rat won me a cuddly toy, and I won the 'guess the number of sweets in the jar' as well.  When I wasn't spending money and playing games I was either on the 'name the bear' stall (read: carrying a bear that was bigger than me ( Read more... )

It's Fathers' Day today, so please don't tell my Dad I have the fire on; he would be most disappointed in my lack of thriftiness! :)

I am up early for a Saturday because I am going to a fundraiser for NBCP.  Come along if you can; if you don't see me it may be that I have been coralled into wearing the giant cat suit.  http://www.northbirmingham. ( Read more... )

I'm white as a sheet today; my skin is the same colour as Pete's, which must mean I'm near death or something!  Pete keeps asking me if I'm pregnant, the answer to which is 'no I'm not and you're definitely not helping!' (I mean with putting some colour back in my cheeks, just realised how that reads! LOL ( Read more... )

Ooh I have chai with honey in it.  Surprisingly this is not something I've tried before - I like chai and I like honey, but haven't put the two together.  The honey really goes well with the spices; I feel a new phase coming on ( Read more... )

I'm just sat here filling out a form to join S.O.F.A (http://www.felineartists.org).  You have to be an associate member for a year before you can apply for full membership, but I am amusing myself with the idea of adding S.O.F.A to the end of my name.  Pete says I am most comfortable; he has also raised the idea of finding loose change, but we won ( Read more... )

I'm back on shift with Cats Protection now, so I've been browsing their intranet and website to catch up on the news.  As usual I got distracted by cute things; they have collected statements from people about how their cat shows them love.  My two favourites are:

"My cat Sooty shows love for me and the environment as he brings home sweet papers, ( Read more... )

Oh deary me. I'll be old and grey by the time I get to do this modelling for my friend! Jeez.  It's going to be interesting when we eventually get round to doing it though.  It's a competition for hairdressers by Wella Colour Trends IIRC ( Read more... )

I'd say where did February go, but I know exactly where it went; half of it was spent wedding planning and then the other half was spent basking in the blissful joy of no longer having to do any wedding planning (and the whole being newlyweds thing of course, but mostly no wedding planning). Yay ( Read more... )

Just a report to the world to say that v_lizzy is lovely. :D

She drove for many hours and spent many pennies to turn a stressed out bride-to-be into a mushy pulp of chilledness. Twas a wonderful surprise and I feel so much better. Bring on the wedding!
