Getting Crafty

Haven't been around blog land a lot lately as its been the school holiday's. Occupying my children as taken most of my time and when I have had the time I've enjoyed the rest.
Well they've both kept me very busy and with Halloween is on it's way we've spent time preparing for the occasion with spooky masks and mobiles to scare the witches and goblins away!
Also keeping my little imps from becoming bored and causing mischief saving all that for trick or treat day.

Time for number 7

Danes Dyke we always visit to eat our picnic after our visits to Sewerby Hall. Its a lovely place with woodland walks but my favourite part is the beach. I just love been by the sea and the children are never more happy then when they're throwing stones and building sand castles!
Tide was in on this particular day but I promise you there is a fab beach!

A lovely day

We had a family day trip to Sewerby Hall near Bridlington today, it was a lovely day. These are two of my attempts at "arty shots". If you look carefully you may see Bazza and Katie.

Favourite visit number 5

Wheeldale Moor super drive with two fords of which one always guarantees a big splash to keep the children happy! Great views, lovely walks and best of all in the spring/summer you get to share your picnic with the local sheep and their lambs (well the children and me do, Bazza wouldn't share his food with no one!)

Possibly the saddest picture you'll see

WOMEN vs. MEN POEM

WOMAN'S POEM

Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a man, who's not a creep, One who's handsome, smart and strong. One who loves to listen long, One who thinks before he speaks, One who'll call, not wait for weeks. I pray he's gainfully employed, When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed. Pulls out my chair and opens my door, Massages my back and begs to do more. Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind, Knows what to answer to "how big is my behind?" I pray that this man will love me to no end, And always be my very best friend.

MAN'S POEM

I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns a liquor store and a golf course. This doesn't rhyme and I don't give a sh**.

You Know You're Getting Old When....

....the only thing you want for your birthday is not to be reminded of it.

....happy hour turns out to be a nap!

....you sink your teeth into an apple and they stay there!

....your back goes out more often than you do!

....you can't get your rocking chair started!

....it feels like the morning after and you haven't been anywhere!

....you get winded playing chess!

....everything either drys up or leaks!

....been a little hippie does not have the same meaning as it did in the 60's!

Priceless

The doctor said, "Bill, the good news is I can cure your headaches.The bad news is that it will require castration.
You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles.
"Bill was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.
As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need... a new suit."
He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long."Bill laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said.Bill tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Bill admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Bill thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Bill and said, "Let's see 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck." Bill was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years." Bill tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly.
Bill walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"Bill thought for a moment and said, "Sure." The salesman said, "Let's see.. size 36." Bill laughed, "Ah ha! I got you; I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old." The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache. "
New suit - $400
New shirt - $36
New underwear -
$6 Second Opinion - PRICELESS

Katie Superstar

Katie has only been at school for 6 weeks, but this week she brought home the star of the week award for the second time. I am the proudest parent in the world, and this song is for her.

Time for number 2

Egton stepping stones. Such a beautiful place I have always been fascinated with water and can sit for an age watching flow by. Kt loved visiting this year as she could manage the steps herself has you can see Har not to sure. Bazza loves Egton as there's a great pub there that serves is favourite pint "Old Peculiar"

It's another joke!

A man wakes up in hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now you probably won't remember but you were in a pile-up on the motorway. You're going to be OK, you'll walk again, everything, but something happened. I'm trying to break this gently but your pen*s was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it.
"The bloke groans a bit, but the doctor goes on "But it's going to be alright, we have the technology now to build you a new one that will work as well as your old one did, better in fact. But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's a thousand pounds an inch".The bloke perks up at this, even though it's a thousand pounds an inch.
"So the thing is" the doctor says, " it's for you to decide how many inches you want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before and you decide to go for a nine incher she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time she might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a vital role in helping you make the decision."
So the bloke agrees to talk with his wife and the doctor comes back the next day. "So" says the doctor "Have you spoken with your wife?" "I have," says the fellow. "And has she helped you in making the decision?" "She has," says the bloke."And what is it?" asks the doctor.

The bloke looks up and says "We're getting a new kitchen".

A women scorned

Mystery of the Curtain Rods.

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods.She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days.Then slowly, the house began to smell.They tried everything, cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out.Vents were checked for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere.Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked.People stopped coming over to visit.Repairmen refused to work in the house.The maid quit.Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house.Word got out, and eventually, even the local Realtors refused to return their calls.Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going.He told her the saga of the rotting house.She listened politely, and said that she missed her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on price that was about 1/10 of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.She agreed, and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home, including the curtain rods.

There's always a choice

Would sir like to hang from the left or the right?

Got me too

I have been tagged by Cindra Jo to list seven pieces of music and what they're meaning is to me:-

1. Don't Marry Her by the Beautiful South, because this was playing as I underwent C section whilst having Harry.
2. Barbie Girl by Aqua, I hate this but it's Katies favourite so I'll let it slip in
3. Monster, by the Automatic, I like it and it's Harry's favourite too.
4. Connected by the Stereo Mc's, because it reminds me of mine and Bazza's courting days.
5. Prince Charming by Adam Ant, this was my favourite track off the first album I ever bought.
6. Razamatazz by Pulp, played at the first pop concert I ever went too.
7. I wish it could be xmas every day by Wizzard, because I do.

Vegi Delights

Well I've got a very exciting day ahead of me where off to the outlaws, oops meant to say the in laws, for lunch. Only kidding my mother in law is a lovely women but her lunches are very much a talking point, she tries very hard in kitchen to wow us with some vegi delight but it mostly ends up a vegi fright! Portions also can some times be a problems, especially for Bazza, I think she is still believes where on rations or she forgets what a ferocious appetite her son has. Well I'll post you later with my review on our wondrous meal.

Number 6 favourite day trip

Flamborough lovely beach, rock pools and wondrous caves to explore. Great fun for all!

(Had to pinch from Bazza's photo archives as is pre me owning my own camera but as you see it didn't stop me snapping I just used his! )

Joke for today!

One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very Sexy nightie.
"Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want."


So he tied her up and went golfing.

Number 3

Dalby lake is my 3rd best day trip visit. It' beautiful and it as ducks so it cater's for the full family!

How smart is your right foot ?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you
can't.
1. While sitting at a chair, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction.
I told you so .....And there's nothing you can do about it

Luke The Lion

This weekend we had a visitor Luke the Lion, Kt's School each week pick a child to take Luke home for the weekend he brings a diary with him for the child to record what he's done whilst with them. We took Luke to Daldy Forest to feed the ducks of cause and then on to Filey where it was that warm the children where able to paddle in the sea with their welly's on. Though they weren't much use as they paddled that deep the sea went over the top of them soaking their feet anyway.
