Text of the page (random words):
i only have the one tilda stamp thankyou jules for letting me have and here she is i just felt like doing a spot of colouring with my derwent water colour pencils whilst waiting for the drainage contractors to turn back up today big bertha 2 spent 3 hours yesterday finally clearing the blockage out on the main road the doc requested them back today to make sure that the two drains on our property were completely clear which thankfully they were so we can now enter 2017 flushed with success so to speak now onto my card coloured using my pencils and a water filled pen brush base card is made from green cardstock and the papers are from my stash i have no name for the backing sheet with the bird on but think it was a gift sent by a fellow blogger when doing a swap the paper peeking out from behind tilda is a freebie from making cards magazine aug 2012 the nancy watt collection called summer ladies all the embellishments i found when sorting out a box of oddments of this and that the photo above was taken using flash but it has just caught the tip of her bow and is not showing the true colours the photo below is without flash but is a lot duller can t win at the moment taking photos inside entering into the following challenges simply magnolia anything goes using magnolia products lovely hanglar or sweet magnolia challenge 141 anything goes posted by mrs a at 23 57 26 comments thursday december 29 2016 so how was your christmas so how did christmas go for you then ours was erm you could say interesting to say the very least let me explain as you may recall the doc was saving his elijah craig bourbon whisky for christmas evening which he duly did but with the following result ugh this is cold tea which roughly translates as just wait till get my hands on that l th elf but i digress as this is not the main reason for todays story we have had much more fun and games than that so lets return to christmas eve when the downstairs toilet began backing up well actually it had begun before then but we have this happen on a regular basis with the main drains out on the through road causing a huge blockage at first you look at the water level and say to each other does that look higher to you i know we live such interesting lives than before we kept debating it and finally agreed it was time to call up the council but we would wait till after christmas boxing day because if you do call them out and the blockage is on your property you pay and there was no way were we paying premium call out charges for that period so to put it succinctly sprouts and prunes were off the menu fast foward now to yesterday morning and the doc logged his call with the local council help desk where a very efficient lady pulled up her screens and said oh yes i can see your last call out to us and that was a very complicated problem i will send the team round to you asap the two man team arrived and pulled up our manhole cover and agreed that the blockage was on the council s side of the drain phew no charge then the doc took them along to the next manhole cover between us and the main road and still blocked so they set to work with their pumping gear to clear several hours later a knock on the door to say that they had flushed 4 tank loads of water through and no success so they would call up for reinforcements i e the tanker which the doc over the years has nick named big bertha well big bertha arrived this morning and pumping really began in earnest by now we have a major incident on our hands with the main road blocked off and big bertha parked up pumping for britain that is until the hydraulic air hose blew the pipe off the machinery at this point in time the michael caine film the italian job springs to mind this is the same hydraulic air hose that supplies the brakes to big bertha so now the crew are incapacitated and have to call out the aa rac to be fixed you couldn t make it up 3 hrs later and big bertha has been fixed and retreated licking her wounds and big bertha 2 has now arrived on the scene watch this space for further updates p s the doc is in his element hugs posted by mrs a at 14 16 19 comments wednesday

at 17 00 15 comments friday december 16 2016 missing and found what a day i have just had i woke up this morning pretty sure that a piece of one of my back teeth had broken off exposing the inside of the tooth leaving a rough edge then i found that one of my anklet chains had fallen off and as i hadn t been outside since when i last knew i was wearing it had to be in the house somewhere the doc and i scoured everywhere for it and i eventually found it on the craft room floor the reason it came off is because the link chain is broken not worth the repair cost so will be relegated to the snippets box for future craft use now you would think that if i can find something this small on the floor i can find anything well not so my glue gun that has inexplicably gone missing and is not where i normally keep it no time for looking for it now as i need to get to the dentist asap appendix much laters just gotten home from the dentist where i had indeed lost a piece of my tooth the good news is that my dentist did a repair job for me there and then and i now have a new resin inlay covering the said tooth so to be on the safe side the doc suggested we had a light tea tonight and suggested boiled eggs with cheese sauce good idea famous last words as i knew there were 4 eggs left in the fridge i went into the kitchen to put the egg boiler on opened the fridge and found little l th have you used 2 more eggs up noooooooooooooo not eggactly what have you got behind your backs then little l th just you give me back my glue gun this minute and then you can go and explain in detail to the doc why he is having scrambled eggs for his tea posted by mrs a at 18 16 15 comments newer posts older posts home subscribe to comments atom mrs a about me hi i m a mum of two with three
