He does make us laugh, but is oh so stupid.

The first snow we had after passing my driving test, my then boyfriend took me to a huge car park and taught me to skid. It was the business and I still use that skill when needed.<br /><br />He idolises Tango and where ever T is Jake is close by. Tango used to get annoyed but seems to be getting used to it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76GiTl5g30iPZUqunZQNrka9oP7EePUX0qlVXD0NYjO07_vcIMy4sOVRrmlplGR1GwFZ5PISxUwLGom_jZnefiwr0u6QDddv8juznMK2tJ71UfIPZgWvdzOhyphenhyphenEZXaPpqpjLbC4-HVxVo/s1600-h/100_6661.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg76GiTl5g30iPZUqunZQNrka9oP7EePUX0qlVXD0NYjO07_vcIMy4sOVRrmlplGR1GwFZ5PISxUwLGom_jZnefiwr0u6QDddv8juznMK2tJ71UfIPZgWvdzOhyphenhyphenEZXaPpqpjLbC4-HVxVo/s400/100_6661.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271019062796276162" /></a><br /><br />2. I have done a bricklaying course.<br /><br />The plumber was in yesterday and needed access to our 'soil pipe' which is now in the centre of the house, so much furniture moving and removal of false walls ensued, which Jake thought was marvelous.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1JvK80S9yfXLVR5wX3P7ZEtGPrlgkW5gddVCktzLzZUGh3l74vKBevtz-l37NQacJDbm3v9Gn064w28KDk1avTY2O_aoO5fuuckSAChwfAWDCN62hP7qPFD9Eav_jzfcaJMNWUnh_020/s1600-h/100_6731.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1JvK80S9yfXLVR5wX3P7ZEtGPrlgkW5gddVCktzLzZUGh3l74vKBevtz-l37NQacJDbm3v9Gn064w28KDk1avTY2O_aoO5fuuckSAChwfAWDCN62hP7qPFD9Eav_jzfcaJMNWUnh_020/s400/100_6731.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271019067278724882" /></a><br /><br />3.I used to wear a patch and glasses as I had a lazy eye!<br /><br />He cannot open a door, he pushes his nose against it then puts his head through, panics and reverses at great speed and then repeats the process.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_W251CWCRsf33EuBGTYG1z8WlfxdKgyb2HjARFP9SaIAoWJ_FCLf5ri4-MhEf-7O_eHmYPvXi5fqcP-sfge_IlfasF3hZFclkgxJm-xOlCJySCGM-Wk95BfoaXnw3zocdZm2CrXlfnYo/s1600-h/100_6728.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_W251CWCRsf33EuBGTYG1z8WlfxdKgyb2HjARFP9SaIAoWJ_FCLf5ri4-MhEf-7O_eHmYPvXi5fqcP-sfge_IlfasF3hZFclkgxJm-xOlCJySCGM-Wk95BfoaXnw3zocdZm2CrXlfnYo/s400/100_6728.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271019065486486626" /></a><br /><br />4.

I have broken both my ankles twice.<br /><br />He does not go out alot and still uses the litter tray, I'm not too worried and will ween him off it next year when the warmer weather returns. His other favourite 'power' position is just inside the cat flap so he can dictate who comes in. I must admit we find this abit worrying but I shall read my books to see what is advised.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1RvzpodUWY3z6llh_1GAysURTOJDiv11LV2B9g-K5ui0KvzkLCuL50eoaT5GStXkf_hroCQ1qE_iehm3JWrOkD4GEhzFtN_mYUcXkoRdT6Wu8FyYQeNrfbG1STP74ik2HxAqkXHQRHU0/s1600-h/100_6429.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1RvzpodUWY3z6llh_1GAysURTOJDiv11LV2B9g-K5ui0KvzkLCuL50eoaT5GStXkf_hroCQ1qE_iehm3JWrOkD4GEhzFtN_mYUcXkoRdT6Wu8FyYQeNrfbG1STP74ik2HxAqkXHQRHU0/s400/100_6429.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271024693040359554" /></a><br /><br />7. I did an electronics course at college and built my own radio.<br /><br />Although he is not the brightest cat on the planet, I know he adores T. Likewise she adores him. When she is in her room he sits outside her door and meows, you hear her get up and let him in, chatting away to him. <br />Prior to Jake she had been exceptionally unlucky with her pets, her cat was run over, her Rat, had to be put down as he had something go wrong in his head and her rabbit broke its back! He responds to her, will come when called by her he totally ignores the rest of us and acts as if we talk a different language! lol!<br />Anyway for more on Jake watch this space.........<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZL_QzpeP2C2TEj-cQN3tgy6hqoPh49qqY_zELHeWyPTcLTvITSvvAOr7YqM6bA_JcNZ1J8bJyWjq22oDqmDHMNeCvBwDLSptNMK-25IPL4MIZjvS9grw5Eht99wf4lr2Fuxrozz7Qq8E/s1600-h/DSCF0735.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZL_QzpeP2C2TEj-cQN3tgy6hqoPh49qqY_zELHeWyPTcLTvITSvvAOr7YqM6bA_JcNZ1J8bJyWjq22oDqmDHMNeCvBwDLSptNMK-25IPL4MIZjvS9grw5Eht99wf4lr2Fuxrozz7Qq8E/s400/DSCF0735.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271024683073919890" /></a><br /><br />8. I met my husband at a party and knew ‘he was the one’ he didn’t phone me for 2 weeks after. Apparently because he was getting rid of the others!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Now I am supposed to tag 8 other people as I like so many blogs (see my sidebar)then please consider your self tagged, and if you would like to join in I would be honoured if you mentioned it was me that tagged you.

I don't usually need encouragement, but I have totally lost the will to be out there. I could go as far as saying 'I Hate Gardening'!<br />I know you think my garden looks good, but to me it looks a right old mess. I remember when we first moved in and it was all lawn, so the girls could play, camp, cycle etc etc it used to look so big. Now its claustrophobic!<br />I had to top up the coal bunkers with the pre-packed coal so moved these bags from here<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiibehl2ntdbM_VWnNGg4VPY8cCYLo3uLFbaCcNenF90E18WCIULCjK9BZFKIlnplV6br-XvvMrs7pLipnRWfNZ3Po2dUhWZ-dZxzX34wQ6aktfhHM0md2qF-_6Ki8qAyTaA3cND68l94/s1600-h/100_6695.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiibehl2ntdbM_VWnNGg4VPY8cCYLo3uLFbaCcNenF90E18WCIULCjK9BZFKIlnplV6br-XvvMrs7pLipnRWfNZ3Po2dUhWZ-dZxzX34wQ6aktfhHM0md2qF-_6Ki8qAyTaA3cND68l94/s400/100_6695.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270357041807655074" /></a><br /><br />to here, <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOiWSKnWqxLwt_G7-K1OAVbHUBi7rFgqKl7tSZSJ_RabHgnjfJ2IWy5Y-Mx1V-RW3vv5ByHxKkTS6OijvmC49GnUB5R2byak0o2PT5wFZPORKvnHn3yRdKTW8ECflST5wvB1p9JAKap4/s1600-h/100_6694.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOiWSKnWqxLwt_G7-K1OAVbHUBi7rFgqKl7tSZSJ_RabHgnjfJ2IWy5Y-Mx1V-RW3vv5ByHxKkTS6OijvmC49GnUB5R2byak0o2PT5wFZPORKvnHn3yRdKTW8ECflST5wvB1p9JAKap4/s400/100_6694.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270355275793261954" /></a><br /><br />which of course I shouldn't have done becuase of my back, but I can't wait for hubby as he is having to work exceptionally long hours nowadays!<br />Under these bags I found three of these<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh4GJBf8T79_yLP8Y0M3zsKR_0I1veVcFUamZ76h8t0mCaT7gROB-JfCJ5n6V73kmA9hqZyebMvUI1n55O3y-NocnaR0-lgCpCFYWANRLTYw_x1x36fXSRpML2m7tzqxJWdgFCxtjAQRQ/s1600-h/100_6698.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh4GJBf8T79_yLP8Y0M3zsKR_0I1veVcFUamZ76h8t0mCaT7gROB-JfCJ5n6V73kmA9hqZyebMvUI1n55O3y-NocnaR0-lgCpCFYWANRLTYw_x1x36fXSRpML2m7tzqxJWdgFCxtjAQRQ/s400/100_6698.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270355290677938434" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIlfH9LqL9ZYKBl4koLnPWRcFeAs4AbTDy5SpXVOZVqjt0lssXfvUh4Pi2LVg_-ZXwMEGv2p-o1GSZ2uDCszuO42RWLMIbVcDeolT_tMjUie4W6EuD61HUZYS4-hvFlXT14F6WYrQfpYY/s1600-h/100_6696.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIlfH9LqL9ZYKBl4koLnPWRcFeAs4AbTDy5SpXVOZVqjt0lssXfvUh4Pi2LVg_-ZXwMEGv2p-o1GSZ2uDCszuO42RWLMIbVcDeolT_tMjUie4W6EuD61HUZYS4-hvFlXT14F6WYrQfpYY/s400/100_6696.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270355287967292914" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdLBd-SZ6_f0wkEchoNy831HrVOaQ3IB55lavFbQ96h5kUYQudRaYSJi7gv5PyOi0mRz0aODV6SkiH3sEDeSRt3l4jImFh4YsUnbVgozcGE5WYEXnxsbSnI0keodDic64R-UQRLRzLh6c/s1600-h/100_6699.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdLBd-SZ6_f0wkEchoNy831HrVOaQ3IB55lavFbQ96h5kUYQudRaYSJi7gv5PyOi0mRz0aODV6SkiH3sEDeSRt3l4jImFh4YsUnbVgozcGE5WYEXnxsbSnI0keodDic64R-UQRLRzLh6c/s400/100_6699.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270357034592432562" /></a><br /><br />I plan to put the cat trap here, <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7CDUB9AxAVcilQFuMhjlXYbdGsd5_9gYS-hvC-IWPBp9dgaAL0qhLScTgXMoJMECv5DH2KOKm31HrL89YXutyV2A_NX7Oasge1pL_w-0ZtX-XtEoKIoicMWw05g-elLnR7EdRHSgHw80/s1600-h/100_6693.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7CDUB9AxAVcilQFuMhjlXYbdGsd5_9gYS-hvC-IWPBp9dgaAL0qhLScTgXMoJMECv5DH2KOKm31HrL89YXutyV2A_NX7Oasge1pL_w-0ZtX-XtEoKIoicMWw05g-elLnR7EdRHSgHw80/s400/100_6693.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270357047676949042" /></a><br /><br />as we still have not trapped the wretched feral cat.

I want to do so much but I hold back, so becuase of this I am suppressing my enjoyment. <br />I think also there comes a time when you don't know where to start or what to do and usually inspiration will come in the shape of a friend or family member. <br />I have always enjoyed doing something different in the garden, but I'm wondering if it is the right thing to do. Maybe I should go back to the good old cottage garden. Get rid of the big greenhouse which does take up an awful lot of room. But I know me, the preverbial butterfly, maybe I should wait a little while longer and see.<br />I think I could save up my pennies and egt some help in the garden next year to do the heavier jobs that I can't do and lets hope my enthusiasum returns!Libbys Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537936739037961388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815122877097885972.post-11351418578051907102008-11-18T17:05:00.004+00:002008-11-18T17:15:34.235+00:00Nearly Forgot!I nearly forgot to blog today!!!

The company he works for has a new man at its head, he was an accountant and we all know what accountants always see....... the bottom line, not so much the care of the work force! <br /><br />Tori is busy doing her homework in her room, she is quite motivated after getting a 'B' for her last assignment.

The end results are very delicate. Please excuse the old and wrinkly hand as neither of my daughters where about to use as hand models!! I also use an old card table with a green baize top which has seen better days, but I can use it by the computer where the better light is!<br /><br />I thought I would have a go at a ring<br /><br />first you do a few chain and some single crochets,<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMPjot_BHqxVJd6FgSGh2GlD_Y9FkuZ2YzvikRaE9cA7VJabc1ixH3lGrR_8wwawNNo3SJVzdp5tnJOE2brconk7ggY7jnEBut3thkmbKxMdyUrvHpioL2RHWrMBktFbb9hFgplvVE9iQ/s1600-h/100_6573.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMPjot_BHqxVJd6FgSGh2GlD_Y9FkuZ2YzvikRaE9cA7VJabc1ixH3lGrR_8wwawNNo3SJVzdp5tnJOE2brconk7ggY7jnEBut3thkmbKxMdyUrvHpioL2RHWrMBktFbb9hFgplvVE9iQ/s400/100_6573.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267049697465885378" /></a><br /><br />looks a right mess!

Been up to Worcester to take K back to Uni! I bet you want to know how the cooking of the Christmas cakes in the Rayburn went?<br /><br />The big cake was done last night but silly me forgot to put the heat reflector shelf in, this protects the tops of cakes from too much heat, hence they don't form a crust! So the big cake was a little bit crusty till I smothered it in Brandy!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyhFIH6i02sudNlmk9yMvF4ZkjJeU4-x9C6LPFLZToXrTsi0S4nEa7c-b8-cMKxT4Q8CH2vUYJrr5_vJrJPMmNj5CvEEOrp-bhHVietcVq59RHbj43B0-kddg_U-XPjQ15_j7Q49kuQ8/s1600-h/100_6564.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyhFIH6i02sudNlmk9yMvF4ZkjJeU4-x9C6LPFLZToXrTsi0S4nEa7c-b8-cMKxT4Q8CH2vUYJrr5_vJrJPMmNj5CvEEOrp-bhHVietcVq59RHbj43B0-kddg_U-XPjQ15_j7Q49kuQ8/s400/100_6564.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266707808261213202" /></a><br /><br />The small cake was not cooked by midnight last night so I set my alarm for 03.00 and got up and it still wasn't done, so went back to bed and when I got up at 07.30 it still needed more time. Anyway by about 11.00 I thought we had cracked it so took it out cooled it for 10 mins then took it out of the tin.............. Big mistake it was all soggy on the bottom... disaster.. rescuable (is that a word??) What I should have done was stood it on a shelf or cooling tray to allow the air to circulate around the whole tin. So I popped it back in and on my return from Worcester about 17.00 its cooked both ends!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWgz-bJLe0_YFT2xTXXlb_MRhC9mFEgcrTD7VXYqzGYotSR68tFA9TJwzXckMYr-CzPZpxzxcl4eLGRLAySaqidR64Lz6zOYlZv_9DgSo0TOmzMMajMp4t0s_g-BKQn1f9CVg2JPT3dY/s1600-h/100_6566.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWgz-bJLe0_YFT2xTXXlb_MRhC9mFEgcrTD7VXYqzGYotSR68tFA9TJwzXckMYr-CzPZpxzxcl4eLGRLAySaqidR64Lz6zOYlZv_9DgSo0TOmzMMajMp4t0s_g-BKQn1f9CVg2JPT3dY/s400/100_6566.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266707817364257426" /></a><br /><br />What has impressed me is how soft and springy this cake is, I may let hubby eat it to see if its OK and if it is, would I cook this way again? Definately! I've learnt alot. I like the idea of using the bottom oven to cook in and the fact that it takes 24 hours does not worry me, I just need to adjust my starting time to be around and not in bed at the finish!!!Libbys Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06537936739037961388noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815122877097885972.post-85755278755658156112008-11-08T14:35:00.006+00:002008-11-08T14:54:29.352+00:00Christmas CakesI made the Crimbo cakes today!
