Midnight walk

Last night, I had the best time ever!!

I took part in the 1st ever Harlow Midnight walk for St Clares Hospice.
I took part on my motorised scooter but still had a whale of a time and felt as if I was really part of it all.
I have launched a sponsor site this morning so that if anyone would like to sponsor me they are free to do so in the easiest way possible.

The builders are here....

.........and goodness me, what a mess!!!

There's mud everywhere, brick dust flying about, water splashed all over the walls and half naked lads strutting around in hi-vis vests and foundry boots!! Oh, and they've scratched my car and my neighbours car too!! Hmmmm!! Not impressed!!

Now theres a diet coke add if ever I saw one!!

The company have taken on my 18year old son to work with them and he's working on our house! Cool eh?

They've been here three weeks and they've dug out the extension footings and the new size patio plus, (bless them) they've been removing the roof and walls of the garage ready for the new build but its been a lot harder than they thought it would be.

They've got through seven rotary cutter blades in just a week!!

All this rain hasnt helped much either. Poor sods, out there in all weathers.

I've kept them well fed watered with mugs of tea, sandwiches and pizzas. Apparently, the lads on other sites want to come and work here!! LOL

I'll compile a slideshow (if I can work out how to do it) of the before and after pictures.

Oh well, might get a lay in tomorow if they dont turn up at 8am as per usual!!LOL

Just keep repeating top myself.."It will be lovely when its done..it will be lovely when its done..it will be......"

Love and hugs JenniferXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Introducing 'Bradpiece' bear.

Bradpiece is a charity bear and is sponsored to take part in dare devil stunts to raise funds for the local breast cancer unit where I had my chemotherapy and surgery.

Bradpiece will be taking part in the Harlow St Clares Hospice Moonwalk on June 21st.

I'll keep you updated on his antics and his fundraising events.

Not much crafting going on around here!!

I've only made 3 cards this week!! Shock horror!! Shame on me!!
My excuse? I've got the builders in and I've been busy making them cups of tea, bacon sarnies and jugs of iced juice.

The first few days were lovely and sunny and I managed to sit down and make a couple of cards but, the past few days it has been pouring down!! I've been so busy keeping the dogs indoors wiping their feet when they have been out for a tinkle plus sweeping the floor from when I have to make trips to my once warm, cosy pretty little downstairs loo that that is now a cold, unfriendly outside 'dunnie'.

Despite the appauling weather during the latter part of the week and the many tea and snack breaks, progress has been steady and positive. The walls to the garage have been demolished and the area for the rear extension and pation area has been dug out.

Next week, the area will be marked out for the brickwork and the concrete planks of roof in the garage will be demolished. Hmm, now that will be a tad noisy so I may have to go out .....a lot!!

I'll keep you posted wit hthe progress and will post some photos of the befores and afters.

A new stamp to play with.

My Joanna Sheen order came this morning and I love it!! I ordered the Victorian Romance cd that was on special offer at £4.95 instead on £14.95 and ,while I was there, I thought I may aswell order the wedding guest book stamps that I'd been thinking of.

I'll show you the results of my playtime later.

It's too hot to go out into the garden ,if I can call it that. We've had to strip down the decking in preparation for the builders on monday.

Oooh, cant wait!! (that was sarcasm!! LOL)

I accidentally discovered a new shape and style of card.

Last night I was faffing around with some card and papers and trying to work out a inventive way of using me newly downloaded Daisie company images when this, sort of happenned. It's probably not a new style at all but, its new to me!! LOL
