The kitty gets a new toy ...

A story with pictures!

Once upon a time there was a Princess ... (aka Brat Cat)

One day the Princess asked her humom to make her a nice knitted toy ...

"Please make me a nice knitted toy, please, please, pleeeez"














"You feel sleepy, you will make me a nice knitted toy ..."















"I WANT A NICE KNITTED TOY!"















"MY TOY!!"














"MY toy!!"














"DESTROY MY TOY!!"














"Oops ..."















"It is so tiring being a Princess ..."














The End !!

Dear Santa

Happy Hell-O-Ween

I got a brand new blog .....

How many times have you seen an article or comment and thought :
"I wish I had said that!"
Well, these are some things I wish I had said -
and because someone else said them before I did,
I will do them the great honour of quoting them on this site
so millions (!!) of people can read what they did say and
what I wish I had said .....!!

Looks Like We Made It ....Our Lulu Anniversary

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong

You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

DH and I celebrated our wedding anniversary last week -

30 years together

- our Pearl anniversary (get it? ... pearl in Arabic is lulu ....)

When we got married, there were many family and "friends" who were convinced, and had no qualms telling us, that we would never make it. Different backgrounds, different social status (I married the boy from the wrong side of the motorway), different looks (me a deb, he .... well, even my mother said : But, he is sooo ugly), different goals (I was off to see the world, he just wanted to be an aircraft mechanic), different interests (I love reading, ballet, theatre - you know, larney stuff, and he lives for car racing and wrestling), different manners (I please and thank you all over the place and he calls a spade a fu*king spade), different personalities (I'm the standoffish, non verbal type and he is the touchy, feely, let's talk type) in fact, even our differences are different!!

But, in spite of them - or maybe BECAUSE of them - we took the plunge and now it looks like we made it!

The word love doesn't even begin to cover how I feel about him after a third of a century of being with him. I respect, admire, treasure and cherish him. He truly is my rock, my very best friend and the only living human being that understands even an nth of my quirks and idiosyncrasies. He found me and then helped me to find myself. He is strong and sensitive, fiercely protective and doesn't hesitate to defend me in any situation.

Make no mistake, he drives me crazy often and intensely - he drives like Michael Schumaker on speed, his "Latin" temper has gotten us into some fairly hot water, he burps and farts - often and loudly!, he is beyond stubborn, his socks smell, , he slurps his soup ... and his coffee ... and his drinks ...he has no sense of colour co-ordination with his clothes, and ... and ... and

So, although he will probably never read this (he doesn't read much!), this is my homage, my tribute to this gentle giant of a man with his dauntless spirit - I appreciate him and am so grateful that he stuck with me through this rollercoaster of life and every day I wonder how I could have got so lucky as to pick the very very very best one of the bunch.

testing again

what is going on with the internet ???

Deja View

The next couple of posts were on my blog previously, but were lost when I revamped the blog. I want to make sure that all the posts are definitely on, so if you (as an "old" reader) have read these posts already - I apologise, there will be new ones soon...... promise!!

I really hate bloggers who start an interesting blog and suddenly just stop blogging - it is soooo irritating to click on one of "My Favourites" and see the same old same old day after day.

And now, I have become one of them - a non-blogging blogger!!

Well, I did try a couple of times to update, but .... after battling for an inordinate amount of time to actually get into the bloody blog (see, I couldn't remember HOW to get in, and then couldn't remember my user name OR password...!!! Ho hum), well, then I just sat there looking at the blank page, wondering : Is this how exciting my life has become - a complete blank - that I find boring, nevermind anyone else.

Then I thought I would put up a couple of photos - at least then I wouldn't have to ACTUALLY write anything .... really really REALLY cannot remember how the hell to get photos onto the blog. Aw shit!

Anyhooo, I am determined to rejoin the blogging community SOON, so don't lose hope ....
I VILL BE BUCK!!

I've got PMS today

... and in case you don't know what PMS is, it is Putting up with Men's Shit.


A recent scientific study found that women find different males attractive, depending where they are in their menstrual cycle.

For example, when a woman is ovulating, she will prefer a man with rugged masculine features.

When she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in petrol, set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a cricket stump jammed up his a**.

Yup, got a bad case of PMS today - can't live with them and now we can't kill them either!

BLOODY BLOGGERS BLOCK

Sorry fans (er, fan!) have had a severe, non-contagious (I hope) case of Bloggers Block - couldn't think of a single interesting thing to say ... You know, when you begin your blog, you have grandiose visions of millions of readers worldwide glued to the small screen, devouring your every enthralling word - so you ramble on and on and on. The next step is when you realise that nobody really cares what you did on a daily, hourly or nano-secondly basis - in fact, you even bore yourself into a coma.
So, had a small hiatus, gathered myself towards myself and now .... I'M BAAACK!!
Hee hee hee - be warned!!
See ya all soon ................

Replying to comments

OK guys, if you send me an anonymous comment and ask that I contact you, ummmm please make sure there is an address that I can reply to ... saves me having to sift through the heap of entries in my blog trying to find out which one you commented on! I aint got the time, energy or inclination to do that!!

If you are sending me any kind of advertising in my comments section, take note - I don't want my penis enlarged or my breasts reduced, I don't have acne or any other social disease, I AM NOT GOING TO CONTACT YOU ..... SO PISS OFF !!

Thank you, over and out, and good night!!
