The Dating Game

here's a funny story!

I went on a date,

he wore cream pointy toed snakeskin boots (fake and not pretty!),

he out drunk me four to one,

he finished his fourth drink and invited me back to his place for more wine and whatever might happen...

I declined his invitation,

he up and left,

he left me with a full glass of wine!!!

I laughed all the way home!!!

next!!!

Fat Cherubs and Pearls

I'm thinking of selling what's left of my fat cherub collection. They are not particularly valuable but I do love them.

However you know, I have to par back my stuff and I really want to go for a simple uncluttered look in my new home.

Oh I don't know, sell/keep, sell/keep....

there's my Libran indecision kicking in!


I'm mucking about with my hair. Now that I don't go to Suzy the Korean hairdresser, who was lovely but did love her thinning scissors and a good Bob hair do, regardless of if you wanted a thinned out Bob hair do or not, my hair has finally grown past my ears!

(sorry for that long sentence, hope you caught my drift!)


My hair is now past my shoulders but the bottom half of it is very thin, due to a few years of Suzy and also some moulting thing I have had going on.... (and hair dye)

So anyway, as I said I have been mucking around, having it up, down, plaited etc.

Today I did an up do, like a fountain of hair sprouting from the top of my head, the Princess told me I looked like a flower pot! haha!

I embellished my fountain by wrapping her toy pearl necklace around and around it and added to the pearl theme further with earrings, and wrists loaded with pearl bracelets! I felt very, well pearly all day!

I took the photo at the end of the day so my fountain had slipped a bit!

Today
University all day

the Princess's water bottle leaked right through my bed, I slept in the wet patch!

the toaster jammed, it looked like there was a heavy fog throughout the house and a very nasty charred smell remains

the cat was sick on the carpet

but otherwise a fabulous day

hope you enjoyed my riveting meaningful post! lol

the Princess...

has turned into a book worm. Noticeably so in the last month, she reads non stop and has churned through a huge amount of chapter books.

She has just finished reading one of my childhood Enid Blyton's and is about to start Nana's set of Heidi books.

They were printed in 1953, read avidly by my Mum and then by me when I was a little girl. We now think the Princess is ready for them.

I am going to read her the first chapter in bed tonight. I can't wait to reacquaint with Heidi!!


She is doing so well this year, a bit of a rocky start, but she has a wonderful, inspiring and caring teacher who has pushed and coaxed her along and now the Princess is achieving great results.

She got this certificate on Friday. She had written 6 pages of a story about fairies!


Her Daddy (the wasband) and I are so very proud of her!

Today
was quiet, had an open home so we visited with Nana and grabbed the Heidi's at the same time,

caught up on laundry,

about to shower the Princess and get her ready for bed,

and me ready for a full night of study,

I've been bad!

very, very bad!

Yesterday I walked over to my local, op shop (thrift shop) that is, to donate a bag of not required items. A small-ish bag of not required items. This is all part of my quest to offload my material belongings so that when I move to a teeny tiny apartment it will not be a BIG undertaking!



Sadly I left the op shop with the above bag, the photo does not give a true indication of it's size. Let's just say it is considerably bigger than the bag I donated to them!

Will show and tell tomorrow, and it's not even that exciting! lol

Today...
the Princess and I did not get up until 11am, we read, we snoozed, we read some more, bliss!

then we had to get up and madly scramble about as the real estate agent rang to say she wanted to show our home to someone at 1pm,

while I was in the shower the Princess had covered the kitchen bench with plastic puzzle pieces and was spraying ants with a water pistol, not sure how the two related... but it gave me cause for concern! Dead ants and lots of water just before people are due to arrive!

we high tailed it out of here and went to a Speed show, yep a Speed show where the Princess's daddy (wasband) was doing a big promo event, it was kind of fun, we got to eat a lot of jelly beans from the wasbands stand!

and tonight we snuggled and watched The Robinson movie.

A great Saturday!
