Warm and Dry

I am worried! Everyday Arthur grows a little more. He is such a little boy and no longer a baby at all!

I can just about keep up with him now and he is not quite 2. He can point to letters in the alphabet. He can count till 5 with someone. He is also potty trained (mostly!).

I? think what is he going? to be doing tomorrow? Play the Piano, Speak Manx or be a football fanatic! Perhaps oddly enough being the football fanatic will be the easiest to keep up with as there? is alot of websites? like? Aston Villa News? which could mean that I can follow what he is on about. The problem is what if he only wants to speak to me in Manx?

I think I might just consider booking with them for Jon’s Wedding in December. Their prices are so low and it is just for a night or two!

We have the pool area and adjoining rooms in Viola avenue and they need some structural work. We have been thinking or simply rebuilding the rooms as it means we have our minds at rest. So we started off by getting quotes. That alone was hard enough. You would be surprised how many people have answering machines and how many do not call back. What is the point.

So we started getting quotes. Then we thought for our protection, so the cost does not suddenly go up when they think they are milking a cash cow, we told them that we were going to have to refinance with mortgage loans. We thought that as long as they thought they were dealing with loans then they won’t add on “unexpected” costs. So we needed a change in quote and suddenly, the quote was £10k more than anticipated. Interesting!

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

I know of no reason

Why Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent

To blow up King and Parli’ment.

Three-score barrels of powder below

To prove old England’s overthrow;

By God’s providence he was catch’d

With a dark lantern and burning match.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.

Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

I have a tale to tell of a woman scorned. This poor woman caught her dear hubby cheating on her. Never nice. But at least she pulled her wits together and paid him back! (See here)

For some reason the car is in her name… so she is selling it! Sadly she did not seem to realise this before throwing the paint. However I cannot imagine her hubby is too pleased. Not with the paint nor by the fact that she is selling his car.

Now I must admit, it is a nice car. It is just like the one we bought but ours is slightly older used car. The jag is really sleek. I always wanted a jag and simply adore it. I feel so sorry for the paint covered jag. She should have just given it to me!

But as I said, there is a moral to the story. Always beware of a woman scorned? especially if the couple own a nice lovely jaguar! Mind you, I could never destroy my jaguar that way! I am sure there are a thousand other ways to get a cheating husband!

Do you get the jist of what would happen sweetness if I CAUGHT you cheating?

I took the family (Daddy excluded)? all the way to Peel to watch a bonfire and fireworks. When we got to Peel, we found they cancelled the bonfire due to the wind! At least they did the fireworks but they were not much to write home about. I missed the Kempton Park fireworks!

Poor Arthur was terrified of the fireworks. Hopefully I captured a photo or two. And the journey was sponsored by a mystery shop!

One way to make money online is through affiliate programs. Affiliate programs offer a range of affilates such as casino affiliate programs? and shopping affiliates. The benefit is that you can make money if you have a website that has a high number of visitors. They do then to be small amounts of cash but it is only worth it if you have high volume traffic.

I am feeling so stressed! I think doing up Staines may just be more than I can handle. Mind you, it is that combined with everything else!
