What I really do when the kids are at school

'nuff said

Does anyone know what this is?

It is on the wall in our bedroom, no idea what it does or what it is for.

Our new house, the back garden

I'll get to the garage when it is tidy.

This is the shelf that Pete built, with my help

He was very chuffed with them.

For Mom Bowen

You asked to see Rachel's hair curly, here she is.I have to practice winding curlers in for hairdressing so the girls kindly sit and let me use them. This is the end result in Rachel's hair, we won't be perming her hair.

How to recycle old flat pack furniture.

Well, we had a set of bunk beds (not exactly these, but close)

And an old cupboard (Cheap Argos flat pack, wish we had shopped at Ikea instead, but they were still building it when we got here)

And we turned them into...

A screen to cover the office/foodstorage/laundry room...

A set of shelves under the stairs...And a roaring fire!

Happy birthday to me.

Well I am 30 now. Feels like it took forever to get there!There are only 20 candles on the cake, 30 just seemed like too many to fit!

Pete took me out for dinner, we went to an Indian Restaurant in town as I wanted to eat a hot curry. Well, I ordered a Vindaloo, and did I nearly die!!! Pete thought it would be great to take these shots of my first mouthful, this is definitely the hottest thing I have ever eaten. Could I get a glass of milk please, and hand me that naan bread!
It was good, once my mouth recovered.
