never crossed the doors

this weekend :( i was going to go out but i ended up scrapping and reorganizing the craft room, i really need a whole weekend to do it justice but i made a start, and it looks a lot nicer, more natural daylight as i have moved my embellie carousel to a different place so it is not blocking the light from the window, also had a bit of a sort out of the buttons in the hope i might actually use them more LOL

had the usual hours play with poppy tonight, she is so funny, and persistant, she so wants to be out and about so i put her in her ball for a play tonight to give me some time to make some supper - chicken and basil nicoise with crushed new potatoes and green beans, it was only a frozen meal but i styled it ever so nicely and it looked fab, toasted pretty delicous too LOL

more poppy photo's

managed to get a few decent photo's of the little monster tonight, we have been toilet training this week and she has cracked it already and uses her little toilet in the corner of her cage, should make cleaning her out a bit easier LOL have also been making a poppy playground out of a box, she loves being in it and at least she can't climb out of it although she has had a bloody good try LOL

on my travels around the net last night i discovered a hamster toys website, you can even buy a hamster lead LOL i have my eye on a suspended rope bridge, a hamster playpen and the lead for xmas for her LOL now is she the most pampered princess in the wolrd and am i getting a tad obsessed do you think LOL

what a glorious day

it has been today, it's been warm and sunny with the brightest blue sky, so wish i'd had today off i would have gone somewhere nice and took my new camera to play, lets hop the weather stays like this for the weekend LOL

am desperately trying to break in two pairs of new shoes in time for my holidays, my old comfy ones have been worn constantly for the passed two winters and are starting to look a little worse for wear, but there is no way i am parting with them until they literally drop off my feet LOL this week i have been trying to wear the new ones for work figuring if i can wear them all day at work they will be fine for my hols, of course i have ended up with mega sore feet for the past 3 days :( had a small breakthrough today when i managed to get right to 3pm before i decided they were hurting, back to the red pair tomorrow LOL

another holiday to look forward to

was on the hoseasons website looking at holidays, i was all for going to derbyshire in march but then it hit me i really don't think i could manage a whole six months from november to the end of june without having some time somewhere in scotland LOL so i was looking at edinburgh again, then tried searching the rest of the site and it threw up the beech hedge site just outside of perth, we stayed there a couple of years ago, the owners have been building two lovely log lodges and they have hot tubs so decided to look a bit closer, as you can see from the piccies they look lovely and then i saw hoseasons had a low deposit offer on so instead of it being £125 it was only £50, so that made my mind up LOL so we are booked and it's only 164 days to go LOL

not safety netting

but a suspension bridge LOL lots of bits of twigs wired together to make a bridge so at least poppy hasn't got too far to fall when she'd ceiling climbing LOL i spent a fortune at the pet shop today and it looks like half of the stuff i bought she isn't going to like, she hates her igloo and won't go anywhere near it so that looks like a waste of money, she is chewing her bars right now so it looks like the wine will have to wait and i'll be on poppy playing duty LOL

how do you make.................

...................safety netting for an acrobatic hamster ??? LOL i have poppy home for the weekend and her latest trick is to dangle upside down from the ceiling of her cage, she has fallen off quite a few times so far tonight, one time from the ceiling she hit both levels on the way down then landed on a heap on the floor :0 she seems ok and it certainly hasn't stopped her doing it again stupid creature, right now though she is having a snooze so i get five minutes peace LOL going over to the pet shop tomorrow to see if i can get her a new house to sleep in and maybe even a hamster loo so we can potty train her LOL

another plan for the weekend was to go somewhere nice to have a wee photo shoot with my new camera, was thinking of the hall grounds in wallsend or the beach at seaton sluice........BUT then i saw the weather forecast, we have a severe weather warning in place for tonight and tomorrow for gale force winds with gusts of 70mph eeek, don't like wind :( so it looks like i'll have to wait until sunday, at least it means i can spend the day unpacking from last weekends crop LOL

it's going well for a few days

then kapput the internet starts playing up again and i can hardly stay on a page for a few seconds without getting kicked off GGRRRR!, it's driving me insane, and sky were supposed to contact me sometime today and i'm still waiting

my gorgeous camera arrived and it's fab though i don't think musch of the batteries, went onto the kodak website and got the extender tripod handle thing i was after, some different pre-charged rechargeable batteries and dad treat me to a kodak printer for xmas as my printer is fine but it costs me £56 for a colour cartridge whereas the kodak cartridges as £9.99 so i should save a fortune eventually

also good news on the tote front, i had an email of the owner of the shop and she is going to get me one from america and have it dispatched directly to me :) it's going to take six weeks but i should get one eventually

poppy comes home tomorrow for the weekend, i need to buy a few things for her at the pet shop and if the weather stays nice i plan to spend some time out at the coast or in the park trying out my new camera
