Hot Chocolate Anyone?

Well today the 'To Let' board has gone up outside, & we still have nowhere to live, & as of 17th July we are officially homeless....lol...sorry but if I don't laugh I will cry. I have made appointments to look at three houses over the next few days, please keep your fingers....everything crossed for us ...xx

This has got to be one of my favourite Whiff Of Joy images, I love a hot chocolate with spray cream or marshmallows before I go to bed at night, but its gotta be made by Nige lol, he always makes it better than me..lol

I so want a pair of her jeans lol...

Alice In Wonderland....

Well what a weekend we had, we popped over to Wales on Sunday & met up with Louise & her family, who are up here on their hols...we had a fab day, spent most of it laughing at Ady (lou's hubby) who was trying to walk up the river but he kept falling in, boy was it funny :)

Have spent nearly 3 blinking hours this morning looking for a house, & looked at hundreds & found one that would be suitable. Arrgghhhh getting so frustrated, we are homeless in 5 weeks, 6 days arggghhhh...have just spoken to Hazel(dido) & decided to go & live in her backgarden lol...make sure your ready for us hun lololol

I made this card last night whilst trying to chill, got myself all stressed out house hunting..lol not good!!!
I decided to colour Alice in colours that you don't usually see her in, just for a it of a change lol

I really, do love this image she is just perfect & soooooooo sassy.

I decided to try cutting some different flowers on my slice, not used these before & I quite like them.
