Bird Sh*t!!

Argh!!!!

For those who know what I’m gonna be talking about - argh!!! Im just venting!!! I wonder if you can you relate to this?

Lovely day, sun is shining, no clouds in the sky. Car is dirty so car is taken to the car wash… Cleaned and waxed in and out - car is now in pristine condition… Drive along the road, windows opened, music blasting - picture the setting?….

*Plop*…. *Splat*….

Oh my! One big dollop of bird’s excretion on my windscreen!!!! This can not be!

Arrive at my destination… get out of the car… Another oh my! More dollops on the body of the newly cleaned and waxed car!!! So out comes the hose pipe and tissue!!! Yucks!!!

Oh why does it always happen just when you’ve cleant your car? Tell me why!?!?!?

Bangers & Mash

Currently at work with nothing to do - my mind suddenly went onto cooking dinner tonight! I know - a rarity! :p

I mean, I finish work at 1pm; then have an eye appointment at the opticians at 3pm. Then after that, Im officially someone who can do as they please!

Options are either:
-Go to the cinema with Hupps to see ‘The Painted Veil’ (not sure if he wants to see it though!?) or Fracture
-Go to the gym and be healthy
-Laze around and chill in front of the TV….

Ummm - not sure yet! However, one thing is for sure… I intend to cook tonight’s dinner… nothing too fanciful and nothing to difficult!

So what do I wanna cook? What do my cravings tell me to cook? Bangers and mash!!! For those out there who are not familiar with bangers and mash - it’s literally sausages, mashed potato with onion gravy - splendid!

Well, Im nearly there - Ive bought the sausages (95% fat free ofcos!!), gravy, onions. I just need to buy potatoes in order to make the mash! Don’t worry, I’ll try to take a picture for you all to see!!! Only if I dont burn the sausages, that is!!?!?!?

*Decision:
DnA decided to watch Fracture with Maze and Gav.
Photos of the finished meal… Enjoy!

Bangers & Mash

Bangers & Mash With Onion Gravy

Firstly, I wanna thank both my sisters Ansy and Maze for wanting to make DnA’s wedding cake…

The plan was to keep it simple and let them decide on the design. All I asked of them was keep the cake simple, make sure it arrives at the venue on time and I would love some Daisies on it!

Daisies

When I came home from work - there was a small cake which they had experimented with! Loved the idea and the final product…

Don’t want to give any clues to people yet until the big day - but no matter what - I know I will love it - cos I love the mini version!!!

Bridal Hair Rehearsal & Our Dinner Date With Sian


Tuesday, April 24, 2007 by Daisy in General Blog Posts


Today was my bridal hair rehearsal…. I didn’t plan to bring anybody with me - but after speaking to my older sis, I quickly changed my mind and dragged Maze along! Mainly for advice and opinions!

The rehearsal was, in my opinion, a success! With this “up-hairdo” with little beads amongst the curls… I also had a make-up trial - but have decided to do my own make-up on the day - due to the cost (I suppose what the lady did with my make-up wasn’t really worth it and I suppose, I could do better according to Maze)!!

Met up with Mum to have lunch at a supermarket. Must say, felt a tad silly cos I was in major casuals with this posh hair-do and make-up!!! Oh well!!!

Then we all went home and I tried on the wedding outfits and jewellery to see if the hair style matched! Yay - all is well….

6:30pm DnA met up with Jayne and Jack to Sian’s house for her belated bday. I drove and I must say my human “tom-toms” did well!! We only got lost once!!! hehehe. When we arrived at Sian’s house the smell was gorgeous - Beef burgers!!!! But the smoke in her ktichen caused the smoke alarms to go off!!!

Had another fantastic evening.. Talking and laughing about random stuff over dinner… Looking at Sian’s holiday photos; DVDs of her bungee jump and sky-dive…. So scary!!! A great ending to a great day…

“Famous Five”

Like Enid Blyton’s Famous Five adventures… We met again…

Tonight was Aysh’s bday meal… DnA, Pri met Aysh and Sad at their parent’s house in Aberdare. Saw little cute Zayna…. so sweet…. esp on her slide!!

Little Zayna

We then ventured off to Swansea in two cars - bombing it down on the roads in the mist…

Arriving in Swansea town centre - we decided to eat Italian.

Chilled out, laughed, ate til we popped! and arranged our next adventures like Hen party, Theme park, next bday meal (Joint bday dinner for Pri and Hupps)…

Happy Bday Aysh

The group that I spent with tonight, have remained loyal and trustworthy since the day we all met… Let us carry on…

*Love these dinners*

Famous Five

Dental extraction turned BBQ!


Wednesday, April 18, 2007 by Daisy in General Blog Posts


Today Allan had an appointment to have his wisdom teeth out. Previously, he had his LHS upper and lower wisdom teeth out… It was a “crazy” procedure/operation - with pain and swelling which lasted for ages… so this time we were sort of expecting the same!

We bought lots of soup and soft foods in preparation for the dental extraction - which involves slicing the gum and chipping off some bone in order to get to the wisdom tooth (we were told)!! Eeeek!!!

Arriving at our appointment and sitting at the dentists’ chair - my Hupps was told that the extraction could not be done - even though it was the dentist in front of us who told us to come back!!! We had jumped the queue and missed some impt steps!!! Apparently, we were supposed to see a consultant first to do a treatment plan - then do the extraction with the dentist who was telling us all this!! Well, NVM… At least the dentist apologised!!! So appointment with the consultant next week and another wait for the extraction appointment!

We then decided to take our car to a hand wash car place b4 we headed off to Elaine’s house for a pre-arranged morning tea nad biscuit session.

We met up with Jayne and arrived at Elaine’s house. To our astonishment - it wasnt just tea and biscuits - it was a full-on feast… pizza, salad, cheese and crackers, sausages, home-made scones, cakes, crisps, burgers and baps….. We even had the BBQ going!!!

Quite a few people arrived - including Debbie and her 2 older girls and her new baby girl arrival; Lucianne and her girl Sophie and baby boy Adam, even her sister came too…. The time was 11am and the BBQ was going full steam, people talking and chilling out in the sun.. no work… What a life - thoroughly enjoyed it… Thanks Hupps for being in charge of th BBQ!!!

Maze’s eventful homecoming….


Monday, April 16, 2007 by Daisy in General Blog Posts


Today, Maze was allowed to leave the hospital.. So mum went to Bristol to pick her up. It was decided that Maze would come back to C’diff so that we could give her some TLC until she recovered - cos Mum was terribly worried if she were to stay in Bristol alone….

SnK had returned to London, Allan was working, Me - I was doing a 8:30am-7pm shift….

4:50pm *Phone rings*
Maze: Do you think you can pick me and mum up?
Me: Huh? what are you talking about?
Maze: Mum took the wrong tablets and feels faint!!!!
Me: But I dont finish wk until 7pm!!!

Summary:
Allan would come to my place of work via taxi and we would pick Mum and Maze up from Bristol after work. I would return driving Mum’s car and Allan driving ours.

Crazy weekend and extremely tiring… I think Mum was so worried about maze and was rushing that she muddled up her tablets…. All is well now…. Mum is asleep and Maze is home… rest time for me…
