First Kiss

So, it's your first kiss and several questions might come to mind:


Is it the right time?


Do you know them well enough?


Is anyone watching?


Does your partner even want to?


Is your breath fresh?




Then you lean in and just go for it!!!

Katie superstar

Katie has been involved with a football in the community scheme through her school, which involved her taking penalty kicks. Our local team Hull City AFC (the best team in the world, according to Bazza) go into local schools and teach the kids basic soccer skills. Anyway Katie scored 3 out of 5 which for a 4 year old, I reckon, makes her the next Wayne Rooney (minus the weight, ugly mug, lack of intelligence and general lack of manners)

A Change Is As Good As A Rest

This joke is dedicated to my colleague Gill as she would certainly be the elderly nun.

Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, "I must tell you all something.We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent."

"Thank God," said an elderly nun at the back. "I'm so tired of chardonnay."

Apologies to blonds but it made laugh

A blonde lady motorist was about two hours from San Diego when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to the car and asked, "Are you going to San Diego?"
"Sure," answered the blonde, "do you need a lift?" "Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back which have to be taken to the San Diego Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I'll give you $100 for your trouble." "I'd be happy to," said the blonde.
So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of the blonde's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts. Off they went.
Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of San Diego when suddenly he was horrified!! There was the blonde walking down the street and holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of a big crowd. With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blonde. What the heck are you doing here?" he demanded, "I gave you $100 to take these chimpanzees to the zoo." "Yes, I know you did," said the blonde," but we had money left over, so now we're going to Sea World.

Slacking again!

I don't know where all my times gone this week. Well I do its been doing family things, what with all the usual cooking, cleaning and general house keeping there's now is the daily school run, homework and to top it all attending 2 kids parties but most important sorting out for my baby boys 3rd birthday tomorrow! I cannot believe he's 3 already he's grown up so fast and he's so big for his age. What happened to my 8.7lb bundle? Why does time fly past so quick?

The New Bride

Please excuse the rough language in the following story... I
don't write them, I just forward them.

A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. When they
got back, the bride immediately called her mother. "Well," said
her mother,"so how was the honeymoon?"

Oh, mama," she replied, "the honeymoon was wonderful! So
romantic..." Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, mama, as soon
as we returned Sam started using the most horrible language -- things I'd never
heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to take me
home...,
PLEASE MAMA!"
"Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "calm down! You need to stay with
your husband and work this out. Now, tell me, what could be so awful?
WHAT 4-letter words?"
"Please don't make me tell you, mama," wept the daughter, "I'm so
embarrassed, they're just too awful! COME GET ME, PLEASE!!"

"Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your
mother these horrible 4-letter words!"
Sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, Mama..., he used words like dust,
wash, iron, cook..."
"I'll pick you up in twenty minutes," said the mother.

Blogged at last!

This blogging thing isn't easy, finding the time can prove difficult at the mo, though all the rushing around of last week was made worth while when KT came home with the "Star Of The Week" trophy for doing so well in her first week at school, i was sooooh proud.
Things did seem to to calm down a bit over the weekend, without the rush of making sure everyone was ready for the day and no mad school runs. We even managed to fit in our weekend family day trip which everyone enjoyed themselves. We visited a lovely stately home called Normanby Hall, which as fab gardens growing vegi's and a super play park for the children but most importantly Ducks! (some piccy's below). Things have now gone back to mayhem the weekends over KT is back to school so back to the mad mornings and to top it all Har as gone and developed impetigo though he's not ill with it thankfully! It's causing big probs as he's not allowed at nursery. Luckily Bazza and I have managed to come up with rota to cover it and its give me some time to blog at last.

favourite past times feeding ducks and play parks!

Not a cat on the roof but a peacock!

I thought this tree though dead still had a beauty of its own surrounded by the lush green foliage

Busy times!

Having trouble at the mo to find time to even switch the computer on let alone blog. I cannot believe what a life changing event your child starting school is, your routine completely changes and every thing just seems like such a mad rush. It has not helped been at work, finish today till next week so hopefully things will calm down and not long to weekend when hopefully normality will return.

E mail received

The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned
in
sick one day.

Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the
employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper.

"Hello."

"Is your daddy home?" he asked.

"Yes," whispered the small voice.

May I talk with him?"

The child whispered, "No."

Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your
Mommy there?"

"Yes."

"May I talk with her?" Again the small voice whispered, "No."

Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the Boss
asked, "Is anybody else there?"

"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman"

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss
asked,

"May I speak with the policeman?"

"No, he's busy", whispered the child.

"Busy doing what?"

"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered
answer.

Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter
through
the ear piece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?"

"A helicopter" answered the whispering voice.

"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.

Again, whispering, the child answered, "The search team just landed
the
helicopter"

Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are
they searching for?"

Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle:

"......Me"

Bazza's Birthday Trip

Visited Sewerby Hall yesterday for Bazza's birthday. Its a lovely place with something for everyone. My favourite parts are the zoo, where they have successful breeding colony of Humbolt penguins and the walled gardens that are so beautiful.

Princess is starting school

My little princess is starting school tomorrow I feel so proud but so sad at the same time and she is so excited. I can not believe how fast my baby girl is growing up, it seems like only yesterday I was staring at her in her cot not been able to believe that something so beautiful was mine. I'm going to miss mummy's little helper, but at least I get her back on weekends.

Disappearing act

Whilst closing the curtains last night I noticed an amazing sun in the sky so Bazza and myself decide to go out into the garden loaded with camera's to get a better look, and a few snaps. When out there it was no where in site, it had hid it's self behind a huge fir tree. The sky looked very pretty though so took some snaps of that instead, so all was not lost.

Happy Birthday Bazza!

It' Bazza,s Birthday tomorrow he'46 and still has gorgeous as when I met him 14 years ago. The children and I have baked him a surprise cake though he does know about it as both of them have managed to tell him at least 5 times each that they've done one.
So if anyone reads this post please pop along to his blog and wish him a great day he deserves it he's great husband and wonderful father.

My turn at last!

At last I am able to post my blog bazza has finally got of the P.C. Today I have been very busy in the kitchen preserving, it's that time of year again when all the crops are ready at the same time. We have been very fortunate to have a good crop of plums again so made more jam and some autumn Chutney with them ( right in pic) also the tomatoes and rhubarb have done well so jammed them to (left in pic) and to finish the tom's off did a rather tasty though I say it myself tomatoe and soft cheese quiche.

Beaten to the post!

I know Bazza has already posted his photo of Hardraw Force but i think its so beautiful i had to post mine

Its a dogs life!

Took the children to a play park at West Ayton yesterday with some friends. The only trouble was one of my friends had a dog and my two especially Kt spent most of the day trying to convince me what super dog owners they would make.
