I’d rather talk to you at 4:44 am in the morning than talk at your funeral. Nothing worse than losing a friend because they didn’t think they had anyone to talk to. Phone always on, door always open and coffee can be poured.
Support each other. I need eight people to post this message to show you are always there when someone needs you. I have an idea who’s going to write “done”.
WHO ARE MY 8?

Hey Folks, Hope you’ve all had a great week..? XXx
Who else is letting a little bit of Christmas creep in 😁🎄🎅🏻
Put my wreath up yesterday and brought out a few little bits, Mr Postman brought my New Door Mat, So I thought why not 😆🎄🎅🏻 I just keep adding to them now, hopefully decorating my living room next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I’m going all dark..!! I painted my sons bedroom black last year, I didn’t really want to do it but I absolutely love it, I’ve loved the dark Green and other sumptuous colours since so I’m finally giving it a whirl, watch this space 🙌🏻
Happy Friday everyone, Wishing you all a Fabulous weekend 🥰🫶🏻😘

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend 🤗
We had BiG Birthday Celebrations, for Who turned 21 ♥️ He didn’t want a party 🎉 or any fuss, but instead asked for a family meal out.. He told me he didn’t want a cake and everyone singing happy birthday to him but I couldn’t uphold that one and got him a picture cake from Asda, but he was then disappointed I didn’t make him my special Malteser cake 🎂😞 Did you want a cake or not Son..?! 😂 Sorry son, I’ll make you one ASAP xx
It was a lovely evening, I don’t get to see my family often with work and busy lives so was nice to see everyone, especially my Nephew Sam, who I don’t think I’ve seen in 2 years.. was lovely seeing you ♥️ sisters and and my parents Who I wish I could see more of 😟 Family’s Eh..!! 🥰
Have a great week everyone, it’s that really busy run up to Christmas now, Take Deep Breaths everyone, YOU got this.. # # #

Hey lovely folks, I wonder if any of you are in the BASC..??
This month’s magazine contains an article about the West Lancs Rat Pack, My hubby and I are part of the pack 😁 my gorgeous girl (Patterdale) Blaze is part of the article and carrying the huge Rat 🐀 in her mouth,( 1st pic) we have had to keep shtum about it until the magazine was released. These photos were taken just 4 weeks after she had life saving surgery to repair her knees (Again a heart felt Thank you to those who donated to her appeal) We have been staggered at how quickly she recovered and was back to doing what she loves and does best.. Ratting 🐀🐀 I’m so happy we were able to save her, although it did cost a lot of money and still repaying those who helped financially.. 🙏♥️
Although she wasn’t mentioned in the article by name, just seeing her picture in the magazine is enough for us, she is a little super star, strong, courageous and confident little dog 🐾🐾🐾
Team photo, that’s moi in the red jacket 😆 let me know if you receive the quarterly magazines from BASC..?!

Hello my Lovelies, Little update post on our little Prinny Blaze.. 👑 She had her Operation/Surgery on her little legs just a few days ago 🫶🏻 She is doing really well and her wounds are healing really well. She has a check up a the vets at the end of the week and then further X-rays in 4 weeks, which the vets have allowed us to pay at the time of her X-rays so we had enough to pay for the operation, the original costing of £3231. included the X-rays, we have had to Beg, Sell and borrow, luckily both my hubby and I had just got our wages, no bills are being paid this month so it’ll be catching up over the next few months but what’s most important we were able to SAVE our little girl 🐾🐾🐾🐾 A MASSIVE Thanks to everyone who have donated so far 🙏 You are all amazing 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻And Thank you to Warrington for Saving our little Prin Blaze 🫶🏻🙏🫶🏻

Hi lovelies, Hope you are well 💗
I haven’t shared any pics from when I changed rooms with my son last year, my craft room is now much much smaller 😢 But I love how it has come together i have most of it, just how I want it, I’ve still got much sorting out of ephemera and try to part with some of it 😳 And stop buying more 🙄😆 I think I’ve bought most of the pictures from you in the past 💗 enjoy the rest of your evening friends 💐💐

Hey there lovelies 💗
I hope you are all well, It’s been crazy here, I pop in to see what your all up to but not had much chance to post recently..
I’ve had a birthday and my sons anniversary in the same week, both are are struggle, it’s no fun getting old 🙄😢having turned 49 a few days ago really jolted me that I’ll be the BIG 50 next year 😢
Anyways you all know I’m a massive Vintage Lover, Books and Ephemera are my passion and have way way too many, so I’m joining in with this and hopefully I’ll be able to let some go..
I’ll be posting them over on my sales page if anyone fancies a ganger ♥️

Hello Lovelies, Well it’s nice to finally have everything packed away and back up in the loft for another year.. it’s taken a while to get them all packed back up there boxes, in between work, dog walks and good old family life getting in the way.. All done now and looking lovely and fresh, with New chairs in the front room, the dogs are very taken with them 😣😂
Full tums, a walk round the block and they’re fast asleep for a while, usually waking up when it’s time for us to go to bed and they are ready to play again 😏😆👿🙄
Well to be honest I could go bed now, is too early 😬😂
Night night 🥰😴

Hey everyone, Hope your all having a great start to the new year..?? I’ve had lovely week of work due to shift pattern changes meant I have a week off instead of 4 days and I’d only done a few shifts over Christmas due to getting the dreaded Covid virus 🦠
Back at work now with 2 new YPs (young persons) and it’s been full on.. I’m shattered 😴
Anywho, some pics of the doggies, these 2 crack me up, never a minute peace when I’m home, Blaze has become my neck scarf🧣😂 Can’t believe how she has grown since we got her.. 😳 She’s like a little Tasmanian devil, She proper bosses Diesel about, she won’t let him near her food but she can eat his.. and he just stands back and lets her, poor lad 🤣😂
Dogs just make a home better, full of fun and entertainment ♥️

What a lovely day, Gorgeous walk around We finally found the Fallow Dear after walking around looking for them, When my phone battery went 😩 Thankfully hubby got some pics 🦌🦌🦌
The weather was perfect, beautiful Rainbow 🌈 and rainbow reflections across the lake, it was very busy, lots of people and even more planes flying /taking off from Manchester airport.. It was quite disturbing the amount that there were ✈️✈️
The Doggieos had a FaB time, that’s all matters 🐕‍🦺🐾🐕‍🦺🐾*

Well lovelies, it couldn’t possibly be the worst time to get Covid, feel like I’ve been run over by a freight train 🚂
Both hubby and I have gone close to 3 years without getting the dreaded virus.. 🦠
I’ve hardly got to do any Christmas decorations but glad I’ve done 95% of our presents shopping which is good for me as I’m always on the last boat 🤣🚢
Our little Blaze and Diesel are really good at looking after us.. Sat would have been Ethan’s 30th birthday, we visited were he had flat we left flowers and a 30 balloon on the bench on the inner courtyard , sadly missed always 😔💜💜

I have spent the day trying to sort and tidy our bedroom, my hubby took 4 massive heavy bin bags to the clothing bank weight in and all they gave him was £12 😤
boy do I wish I’d done this months ago when the weather was much nicer, I could have had a boot sale and got 25 times that for the clothes I sent there today.. £3 per bin bag 😢😪
Well the upside is I’ve cleared some space, I made myself a promise that I would do this before getting the Christmas decorations out., I’m sssoooo behind.. so I’ve sorted my drawers out, now on to the wardrobe 😟😂 I can now finally get to my dressing table/drawers, they were so full of dust it was unreal and I’m completely ashamed of myself 🤯 all sorted now though.. FINALLY..
What’s everyone else been up to.. bet you’ve all got the Christmas decs done 🎄🎅🏻🎉🍭🎁 🤶🏻🎄

Hi lovelies, I’m very behind on Autumn garden cleaning, due Illness and being on puppy watch, as she has really settled in I’ve been trying to play catch up and start with a few Christmas decorations, I ordered some faux topiary balls and removed the rose flowers from my standard faux rose trees, wrapped them in lights and Vwalla 🙌🏻 I love how they have turned out.. planted the bases with lots of tulips, Daffs, Cyclamen and pansies 🌷🌸 and created a cute display in and old wooden crate.. I’m happy I’ve made a good start this past few days but my back ain’t 😟 back to work tomorrow for a couple of days, when I’m back I can hopefully get some new icicle lights up and some other new lights before getting onto my tree 🎄
I’m guessing you’ve all been busy bees too…?? 🐝

HELLO LOVELIES, it’s been a while, I’ve missed you all, I do try to keep up with everyone’s posts ♥️
We have a new Puppy, it’s funny how things turn out, we were meant to be waiting until the New Year but when I saw this little face I just couldn’t resist, and I’m so so glad.. She has really made herself at home and is now part of the family, she is adorable, funny and naughty 😆😆
Meet our little BLAZE 🐾🐾🐾

Hello lovelies, I’m on my 4 days off work and making the most of it with some lovely walks, hubby and little terrorist in tow 😁
While up in the lakes a couple of weeks ago we stopped talking to a lovely lady who described patterdales as Twaterdale terrorists 🤭😳🤣🥲 they definitely can be.. Oh it did make me laugh 😆
We’ll hopefully be returning to the lakes real soon, I’m hopefully booking the glamping pod at the weekend for June 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I LOVED every minute of it last time and can’t wait to back up there ❤️
What’s your FaV place..??

Hello dear lovelies 🤍
Thank you all for your kind comments yesterday.. losing the dog will hopefully keep us more vigilant as to his whereabouts and check the shed if he ever disappears again 🤭😆
We had a lovely walk yesterday, I didn’t feel like going as I’d spent the day in training, but I forced myself to go & I’m SO glad I did, we stumbled upon a beautiful little wood full of bluebells and a huge clump of white bells on the way.. And then the smell coming from the hawthorns was divine, just ya just LOVE SPRING 🌷🌷🌷
Another day of training today 😏 but it has to be done, just on my lunch but wishing I walking in the woods again 🌳🌿🌱
Have a lovely day folks 💝
