  • New art for our home

    Thats right folks, the paint and the canvas came out again at the weekend, and Me gemma and bonnie chops created some more wonderful paintings for our house.

    This piece is entitled “Progressively worse”

    It was created by me, for our stairs at home.

    The next piece was created by all 3 of us, we got the kiddy water based paint out, and splashed a load on the canvas, then got bonnie to walk over it 🙂 We had lots of fun, and the end result was nothing less than a masterpiece!

    I call it, “Organised chaos”

    I have to say, the last one is my favourite of all time, as it makes me smile and giggle every time i look at it. 🙂

  • Toasters from heaven!

    I was browsing the web looking for the biggest toaster i could find, to replace the piss-ant little 2 slice one that we have. I managed to find 4 slices ones, 6 slice ones.. and conveyor belt ones that could keep toast churning out faster than i could eat it!

    I continued to browse, and found a site called Toasters.com – this site has to have the answers, right?

    I stubmbled upon this amazing creation, that i quite simply must have in my life. It only has space for 4 slices, but you can cook two egg’s on it as well!

    The best toaster in the world

    Back to Basics 4 slice toaster and egg poacher

    Its only $65.99 which is only £33.71 in real money! I think thats what you call a bargain!

    If Toasters.com see that i have linked to them, and wish to give me one of these i will be more than happy to forward anyone who enquires about my amazing new toaster to their website!

  • Im proud of my dog!

    Some people have a dog for a fashion accessory, some have them because their kids wanted one and they didn’t, but the kids rules the house so they got one anyway. Me and gem got a dog, because we wanted one, we love dogs, and my mate’s dog was having puppies!

    And since picking her up what seems like forever ago we have not looked back! She has been blowing us away with how fast she learns things. She can sit, give both paws, lie down, go to her bed and go and see who’s at the door if we ask her to. And she is 12 weeks old! That’s 3 months!

    When i was three months old i wasn’t doing shit apart from dribbling and shitting in my pants. Its amazing to watch something turn from a tiny puppy who knows nothing apart from “people = fuss & food” and “stuff = good to play with” – to a inquisitive, playful, loyal, loving part of our family.

    Here’s to bonnie chops!

    For those that dont know, you can read all about her adventures and her quest to become the most famous dog in the world – here!

  • I witnessed a miracle

    Now im no believer of the whole religion thing, I don’t really believe in the paranormal – although I would really really like to (im a kind of believe it when i see it kinda person) I don’t believe in acts of god, or miracles.. but what I witnessed was what I can only describe as just that.. a miracle!

    I was making some toast to eat as i was a tiny bit hungry. I put the bread (yes i originally wrote toast and had to change it) in the toaster, and stood staring at it somehow trying to use the power of my mind to speed it up. At exactly the same time my dog ran into the lounge because she needed the loo. I ran after her and opened the door.. She went outside.. I waited.. She came back, and i let her in.

    Shit, the toast!

    I ran back into the kitchen expecting to see some burnt ass toast that had shot up and had fallen on the floor.. and i was greeted with a miracle!

    Not only was the toast perfect in colour and toastyness, it had also pinged up and landed smack bang in the middle of the toaster! Balanced there on its side steady as a rock. I could not belive my eyes!

    Wow!

    Hahaha
