WE HAVE BEDROOM CURTAINS

We have a bedroom curtain thanks to mum taking it up for us, looks great too!...Just got to wait until she has a free day in her diary for the other one. Being retired she is extremely busy!!! They are never in, which is great make the most of every minute I reckon, there is enough rainy days eh...SO I guess maybe sometime in September she might be free...oh no that's the scillies, October maybe...no thats her birthday might be November then!   ha ha. We are in no rush we got one ok!...Dad still does our grass too which we are very grateful for, but he has his shoulder op again soon, Ant and andy are going to help us out if we get stuck..., so might have to put Dad on sick pay to keep him still!! that is in the form of food or help not money just in case you got your hopes up  ha ha!!!so I hope I have a kitchen so help feed them over there!

RESCUE!

We rescue about 4 mice/voles/shrews or whatever they are a day and at least a couple of baby rabbits. Its a nightmare at the moment, you are either in bed and have to jump out and chase round the house  after a maniac mouse to stop it being frightened to death by the cats or first thing in the morning when you just need that cuppa to get you started, ..NO.....Its looney tunes round the house chasing a rabbit that thinks you want to eat it not save it!.... Once you have caught them they are quite tame though!

BRIEF WALK!

A small hint of normality came the other night only I got as far as the sheep at the bottom of the lane as I felt dodgy, typical eh!! But took a picture of the new lambs in the field, they are so sweet, I want one!...Not really sure Pete is up for that, and we haven't anywhere to put them now...Maybe our new neighbours fancy a few lambs!!!

CARPENTRY

Craig and Gaz have been doing our carpentry work at the mill, all the oak finishes, and there have been miles of it. If you ever want a very talented carpenter Craig is the guy you need. After the most wobbly of wall finishes and no amount of screwing would make the skirtings stay put, which is odd as we have had the whole building dot and dabbed but for some reason there are no straight walls or square edges to door frames although its all new! ODD!... But Craig never moans he just does his thing and makes it look great. They are making the porch as we speak actually! Craig came to us to trim the stairs in Feb and hasn't left really! Thanks Craig much appreciated!

SQUIGGLEYS NEW FRIEND!

Squiggley has a new pal, its stripe our stone cat! Not sure if she thinks its real, but she really loves it! Squiggley and squeaker are best of friends too, wherever one is the other will be. They were born really close together and heave been close ever since.

FLOWERS

After a hectic time there has been no time to smell the flowers, but I noticed the other day our new bed has started to flower, we will be able to see this from our new kitchen so be great if all the plants take.... All we need now and really sharpish is our buyers to move in, as our mortgage is crippling us , think got next month covered!! but its frightening to realise how much we have had to borrow to do this. so the sooner they get here the better. We always knew it would be getting there by the seat of our pants, and really hoping the thread thats holding 'em on will last!!!!

CUDDLES!

Shadow is juts a big baby and loves her cuddles, she can't get enough of them and makes you feel guilty if she doesn't get her allocation!!

LOLA!

Sally sent me these photos of Lola on holiday here last year, she is coming on holiday again his year with her two legged friends of course! Looks like she had a great time eh!

WHAT A NIGHT

After day after day and night after night of work we were really tired and I said we would stop at 10 and get an early night. Silly Silly me!!! After getting into bed thinking I was actually going to have some sleep, I was just relaxed when there was a knock at the front door. Laura wasn't in, so I thought she had forgot her key and was hammering on the front door, so I lept out of bed, shouting down the stairs "For goodness sake, Laura is that you, why can't you use other door and come in quiet, I was asleep"...then to my horror I got to the bottom of the stairs in my dressing gown and looking a state! to see an outline of a man at the door. I froze .....shouted for Pete "Theres a weird looking man here, come quick" My thoughts went into overdrive and by the time he spoke I had him down as a mass murderer or nutter!...But then their was a voice "Dont panic Michelle its Fred!"   FRED??!!!! OMG thats one of our clients and I  am in my dressing gown yelling at him to remember his key as I thought it was laura......both are bad but then to think he was a mass murderer, well got all three going on not a good plan... By this time Pete was down he thought...he wanted a meeting it was all a bit surreal really... I let him in, he was merrily rabbiting on about... But turns out he left his briefcase in our car after a meeting and lives in Plymouth so couldn't get in with out getting the case....

SASSY UPDATE

After countless sleepless nights as Sassy can't be left alone and all night long hits you with her cone on her head! or sits opt lies across your face, its really tiring, we are taking shifts at the mom..Laura has her tonight ..yeeee----aaaahhhh. Sleep for us eh! Apparently tail amputation is notorious for going wrong and quickly but we are past the worst of it and stitches are out tomorrow, she will be in for a while yet though. She has been lucky to get through this, as has my bank balance!
