Look at the size of this!!!

The large one weighs 120g the small one 60g and yes this did come from one of my hens but which one I haven't the faintest idea? We have been abit short of eggs this last week obviously saving it up! As you can see it measures 3 inches by just over 2 inches. I bet it is a double yoker, I will let you know!

This is a pic of Kathryn and her Dad last year at my sisters wedding. Mark took 'K' to Worcester Uni yesterday and helped her settle in. I am rather weepy at the mo! but she has achieved what I always hoped for her. I want her to have a better life than I did, always working in crummy shops etc. The place is very, very quiet without her and she will be greatly missed but she has now started 'the next day of the rest of her life' I am so proud of her.

Meet Sassy, Kathryns cat:-

now normally cats are very fickle as to who they like and dislike, but not Sassy, she has been Kathryns cat from the beginning. Whilst K was at college (she was out of the house from 7am - 7pm) she became friendly with me but always reverted to Kathryn when she was in. The last 2 weeks Kathryn has been at home alot and Sassy has been joined to her at the hip! Whilst all the packing was going on Sassy was in all the bags, boxes and carrier bags (a favourite hiding place of hers). She did not want Kathryn to get up on the Saturday and did everything in her power to get in the way! Once K had left Sassy settled down on a chair in her room and has hardly moved! I go in and chat, she will come round I'm sure!

How would you recycle 'thongs'!!

Kathryn is packing for Uni at the moment and her room currently looks like this

Ok this is how it goes at the moment:

2 lime green boxes full of cups, plates, glasses, pan, and other useful kitchen stuff

grey bag infront of zebra: sheets, towels, tea towels, toweling dressing gown and teddies

red bag: clothes which I think will over flow into blue bag!

primark bag on chair: underwear

essence shoe box: 300 cd's to decorate the wall with

box behind: coat hangers

box underneath: food

under blue bag: another bag with ladies bits and pieces in!

this doesn't include makeup, jewellery, hairdryer, straightners, any shampoo etc, electric toothbrush, coat, walking boots, ooooohhh yes and the bag out of picture that is just FULL of shoes, handbags and belts, nothing else!!!!

We still haven't got the computer, (cos of her dyslexia only diagnosed Dec 2005, she is getting a computer from council)Kathryn phoned to find out where it was and it looks like it will have to be delivered to uni direct, which is probably just as well because it includes, computer screen, keyboard, mouse, scanner, digital recorder and printer!

We have had a chance to sort through clothes to be kept and clothes to be sent to charity shop. As she no longer wears thongs, and they can't really be recycled Kathryn decided to decorate my lounge with them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way if you think we have forgotten anything please let me know!!!!!!!

Bike Safe Day for Mark

Mark is on a 'Bike Safe' day today with Wiltshire Police. He returned to biking after a 20 year gap and has treated himself to a 'Kawasaki 500' plus all the gear! He's been back on the road since July and was quite nervous before he left today! (in case they told him he was a rubbish rider!)


Mark commutes 44 miles a day just for work and to be honest the petrol costs have been astronomic and just on the school run I do 24 miles aday. So his bike is a money saving item????



Tori had a great day yesterday, she had some lovely presents :- a punchball and boxing gloves, a PS 2 game, 'Pink' CD, 'Fallout Boys' CD, a beautiful dragon ornament, a belt and silk scarf with a skull and crossbones on and a couple of other little pressies. She very much wanted just a family day, so we went to the cinema to see 'Cars' which was very entertaining and then out for a meal after. She's a funny sausage really, most '16' yr olds would not think a birthday with family any fun at all but Tori loved it. I do worry about how few friends she has but her phsychiatrist said not too, some people just don't need friends???????
