Well, that's that for another year. The little angels have fled Aberystwyth and the next batch have put their stuff in the houses and gone home to wreak havoc! It wasn't actually too bad this year. I am concerned about TWO properties which are looking the worse for wear...BUT...I feel very organised this year and a P.M.A. approach (Positive Mental Attitude) leads me to believe they will come good soon enough!
Just in case some of you were unaware, Aberystwyth has been enjoying an unusual state of affairs at present with the retirement of the COUNTY traffic wardens. We are essentially a Parking free county until May 2012....It is so relaxing to just park and go! Check out this News report! parking chaos?
Having worked through last weekend, the arrival of this one was much appreciated and I enjoyed a long lie in until 10 on Saturday, VERY nice! Woke to Louise screaming at the children which though not pleasant, was understandable...they are pushing the buttons at the moment. Love the little darlings, but they can be trying :)
The week has been another good one on the Comping front and I have picked up 4 this week including -
1. Some cosmetics from SCOTTISH FINE SOAPS. I could choose any two items so that was nice. Chose an aftershave and a shaving set (£35 Value) Sottish Soaps site
2. A very nice Sterling Silver chain from BUTTON & CO. JEWELLERS. Wife has already claimed it. (£142 Value) Button & Co site
3. An inflatable Turtle from TURTLEWAX. Well you gotta have a random! (£2 Value)
4. A Wand from THE WAND COMPANY. Fancy remote control as seen on Dragons Den (£50 Value) Cool wands!
THREE of these were from Facebook with the Wand being won from Twitter. I am enjoying much greater success with those that I 'play' with and create a little poem or ditty. I've uploaded a few more that caught my eye. Below you can see me 'Bonding' with Phoebe!
Very grateful to some sources of inspiration out there including Di Coke and her blog, The various 'Head's up' messages from a certain Mr Russell Hide on Facebook and many others.
Looking forward to another week. I've got FIVE on my 'to do' list. Finding it hard to keep up sometimes and Loquax is 50/50 at best!
Anyway, it's miserable out there today but must take the dog out....so onwards, Ill scream upstairs to the Angels that they have TEN MINUTES until go time! Catch you next week...
