Did you guess?


I was going to my daughter's Hen Night.

We all had to be someone from a Disney film, but I was lucky (I think) as my daughter and her head bridesmaid decided that I ought to go as Cruella DeVille and even gave me the outfit, lol...

Me and my daughter who went as Queen of Hearts...


The rest of the Disney ladies by our limo that took us to Brighton to the Adonis night club


And my baby on his FIRST stag pub crawl..


Steven, an unknown blond and Matt, lol...


We have a fab piece of video on hubbies phone, of Matt (the stag) trying to blow up the blond and Steven, not only laughing but actually egging him on, in trying to blow it up.
Honest it's priceless...

Am still plodding along with wedding stuff, am nearly there though. Not sure if I said, but have finished the 'place cards' 'order of service' have decorated the wedding card box and yesterday took up the little page boys trousers. Just the table plan to do.

Oh I'm so looking forward to crafting but with colours other than cream and burgundy, lol...

Thanks Susan


I received this lovely card from Susan months ago thanking me for her birthday pressie and card...

Yet I've still got to blog mine and Steven's cards and special pressies, lol...

Am I really street proud?


Well I gather you realised I'm not really THAT street proud, lol...

But was clearing up after trimming our hedges...

From this....



to this....



We usually give them a trim in August, with their main cut at Easter, but this year I was a little cheesed off as had a letter from the street firm who work for the council. Saying that if I didn't cut them back to the boundary wall within 28 days, they would take legal action to have the trees cut and send the bill to us!!!!!!

Well after doing a little research and missing him about 8 times, he eventually phoned me back just before 8 in the morning, great, just as was trying to sort Steven out.

But I stuck to my guns, saying I always trim them in August, but it had to be when my husband is home to hold the ladder.

And there was noway I would be cutting them back to the boundary wall, as when they get over the shock of the cut and start budding again, the frost will be here and kill them. So I would trim them as usual and then next year, will cut them back a bit further.

And guess what
I actually got a apology from the man and he said he had inherited the letter from the council and yes it was harshly worded and me trimming them will be fine, as they weren't as bad as some down our street, lol...

So the trees had their normal and the street had it's normal clean, lol.
