Through my dirty windows......

Ola Peeps,


Well yesterday we took a drive to a town called Hayling Island. It was a cute area but not too easy to get in and out of for an every day commute.



So far , we haven't found any town that would be any better than the one we're in. ack!



We did not stop and get out anywhere so presenting the hideous pictures I took from inside the moving car.









Downtown hayling Island.

Oh, I mean city centre.














Half of that house on the left is "for let"
probably pretty pricey too.













The Terror:


This is where the saying "hedged in" must have come from.















Homes on the seafront in Hayling Island.













Vegitation tunnel.













The seafront over in the distance.












Thatched roof. These are a common sight over here. Close up, it seems pretty incredible .So I looked it up....so I could quit asking myself "How do they do that?"


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thatching












British trailer park.

ugh..caravan park.














British cat, hanging around loose .



That's is all :)








I'm waiting for my husband to get the heck out of here and go to work, allready, so I can do my chores.


Then ,it's off to Fareham for my big trip to town . Woo hoo!


I hope it's babyboys day off from driving the freakin' bus.


Happy Monday ya'll!

In the stinky cage......

Ola ya'll ,




Well, let me see....what's new? I think I am finally getting over my mystery flu. Thank God!




Saturday my spouse dropped me off in Southampton. It was a really happening shopping district .I actually needed a whole day there, not just a few hours. If I had had more time I could have seen the huge mall and the waterfront. We saw huge cruise ships docked down there on the way into town. They had the street markets set up and there were thousands of people walking around ,shopping.





I had been dropped off right by a huge Debbinhams store.A snazzy department store ,they also had them in Sweden. (and this is where I would be picked up ) So while I was waiting for hubby I went in there and looked around ,man would I like to have about a million bucks to spend in there. It was soo expensive I couldn't even buy a pair of socks in that place.




I would have started with a nice pair of boots......


like these. Oh shut up, I have to walk everywhere, remember?

These are only 175 pounds. (ha! )

(that is about 280.00 Us dollars)












I would have thrown in this nice little dining room table and chairs.

I won't even try to do the math on that one.





I won't be getting either one of those things.

********************************************************************

Speaking of crappy,if you walked into our house back in Arkansas you would never say " jeez, what do you have ,a whole herd of cats up in here?" You could not tell by the smell that we had any cats.



Here, in this cracker box, ugh, it's a different story. I can smell the poo, I can even smell their cat food. Sometimes it reminds me of the ferret cages at Petco. I feel like I'm IN the ferret cages at Petco!


I need a nose plug.


Good thing we don't have any friends coming over. EVER. ha ha .


*************************************************************************

Oh where was I?



Yesterday we went to two furniture stores to look at dining room tables . Right next door they had a "boot sale" which means a yard sale. But this was a huge warehouse full of several yardsales . Not one thing had a price on it. So I bought nothing.



The oak furniture DID have prices.....so we left empty handed there as well.



Today my spouse is off to Sweden again. My big plan is to go into Fareham .woo hoo.



Ok, I'll shut up now. here is the slideshow of Southampton.

Have a great Monday peeps!

I'm not lazy,I'm sick....yeah..that





Gah, so yeah ,I've been sick since Saturday, I've stayed in bed(mostly) for the last 3 days.


Today ,it was down to ...which is more hideous? walking around sick or staying in this house for one more boring second?


Walking around sick WINS! Of course I had to go out and walk just to get more cold medicine anyway.










I am bored out of my mind. Hubby is gone to Denmark and Finland for the week. This place is a crackerbox. I have plenty of housework I could be doing but.....I'm sick.














When he left ,I was on my 3rd day of looking (much) worse than this.


It'll be a wonder if he comes back home.







I got nuthin'.....so HOW bored am I?


Here ya go........read it and weep . bwa ha ha !







Cat shelf



















Skinny coke

















The only choice for creamer
















half a dozen eggs











VIP drawer....we like ice.














Yes,I know my lettuce is rotten ....I'm not lazy, I'm sick.



















Coins I'm too blind to identify.











On the cat walk....on the cat walk....
















Nosy much?














Generic? Who the hell knows, it's all there is.














Triple play











Got gas?

















Can he be inquisitive enough to actually DO the dishes?



















The garbage disposal.....you know you're jealous :)














Too bad Daddy lost my harness.....I can't go anywhere.
















THE TORMENTOR













whipping that tail around, tormenting the crazy Monkey.














Damsel in distress.

(ok, crazy beeotch in distress)

She's still horrified.



Happy humpday!

At least it's not the swine flu.......




6 A.M. ,still dark out and what do we have here?

A dingleberry in a stroller,begging to go for a walk :)


Why is it whenever one travels ,one gets sick?
Yep, I am sick. I spent most of the day in bed yesterday. I gave my husband a list of TWO items to get from the store. Naturally he forgot ONE of them. WHY?Why does it always happen ?
Now, I have to get off my deathbed and walk to the damn store. Woe is me .











My little boy has gotten fat. Surely a combination of not having his playmate and being in such a small house.



















It cracks me up to see laundry hanging everywhere. For the life of me I can not understand why dryers are not the norm.











The Realtor in me can not help wondering ......
when there are hundreds of houses attached to each other, do they have a homeowners association?

It doesn't seem so ,since everyone seems to be responsible for their own exterior. I have seen ONE doorway for two houses and only half of it painted.




I'm very intrigued by this.



Also ,they must have some enormous brick factories because everything is made of brick around here. Houses, streets ,sidewalks ,courtyards.









I love the gingerbread details on some of the places. I went to this area on Saturday. I think it was the cutest one I've been to so far.Not sure what it was called except it was London Rd.






Yesterday when my spouse got me some cold medicine I noticed that the box had braille on it.


I noticed that when I walked cavuto in his stroller, people avoided eye contact when they saw me. (they were probably embarrassed for me) lol


I've noticed that a lot of shops have a security guard standing in the entrance.


The water here is awful. Not only does it taste awful but it leaves your hair looking like dead straw. yippee.


I love my little stainless steel stove top. It's so easy to keep clean. Even though I'm still having a hard time adjusting gas burners. Gas scares me.



I'm living on delicious cod. I swear I could eat it every single day.



Well, my house is a sty after the weekend of hubs being home. A fun filled day of cleaning and laundry awaits me.


Happy Monday peeps!

Zippo

Ola peeps,


My yard sale was just fine. Got rid of lots of stuff but I still have more than I'd like to have left.I need some yard sale fairies to come take it away. It was hard being stuck here all day.


There is absolutely nothing going on around here.I went to bed at 7:30 last night. Good Lord, I'm becoming an old woman.I tried to watch the movie "Rachel getting married" ,it was awful! Too awful to finish it.


I have "Marley and me" for tonight. I read that book. So I hope the movie is good. The book had me bawling my head off. (what a nerd)



*********************************************************************************

My little English crumpets. Oh I miss them so much :(








Taking a break from bitchily screaming.















Daddy's little helper :)













In the midst of the action ,as usual.














Finally worn out.




Have a great day ya'll!

Luv me

Lame-o

Hi Ya'll ,


I've been trying to update this thing all day. I've been too busy . Not that I even have anything to update about, either.


I've spent most of the day working on Mobile Merm**ds.


Made a lot of progress too. Website, up and running....awaiting more content. Business cards made and ordered.....check!Logo finally finished and acceptable....check!Business plan and agreement written and signed...check!


Now I just need a nerve pill and a client :)




Better?


Well, that's our logo . so too bad if you don't like it. LOL



I see that hardly anyone has updated today. What were you guys so busy doing?



As usual , there is NOTHING on T.V.
GAH!! that makes me so mad.
BTW, has anyone noticed that they took away "lifetime" and stuck "bravo" on there instead?
Do you know what that means? NO Golden Girls!
Who is responsible for this?? Who do I complain to?



Yesterday it was 75 degrees! I took a book , a blanket and a little pillow and went and hung out on my boat dock for a couple hours. It was heavenly.



To be continued.......I've even boring myself with this crap.
:)

********************************************************************************
Good morning.....

I still "got nuthin'"


So, I'll go ahead and call it a post. Sorry:)

Hope you're having a great Tuesday!

Luv me

Just a Hi..............


Hi ya'll,

I'm busy working on a gainful employment endeavor.I'll tell you all about it later.

Just wanted to check in and say "update your dang blogs!"








Cavuto seems to be looking better.













Cat loaf.









I have spring fever. I want it to be spring like NOW!


Last night I watched the "secret life of bees" It was good but of course ,not as good as the book was.

Other than that ,it's pretty boring around here.
I'm out'a heah.

I'm going to meet Floozie1 for lunch.

Have a great day!

Luv me

Now that I've seen Hugh Laurie naked, what's left?

Blogger
Blogger Hi ya'll ,


I got some DVD's at the library of a British comedy series called "Forty Something". Starring Hugh Laurie. (Dr. House) It is hilarious! Him and his wife are a 40 something couple with 3 young adult sons.One of the sons is screwing 2 sisters, their dad is after Hugh Laurie, he thinks his wife is a lesbian ,the kids fight (like mine) and he's having a midlife crisis.
The neighbors could probably hear me cackling. THEN...what to my shock ,do I see? That's right....Hugh Laurie, buck naked!OMG! It was like seeing my brother buck naked!

Why wasn't this on TV in England? Rush out to your library and get the DVD's . You won't be sorry.(except for that naked Hugh Laurie thing)



Our cold snap ends today. Woo hoo!!
I stupidly left all my warm coats in England. I feel like I must go walk .Our mall is so dinky I have no desire to go walk around that thing. I'd have to make about 50 laps in there.



I've been checking the paper for jobs since I got home and guess what? There aren't any!
It's horse racing season down here, usually one of the busiest times of the year. This is awful.
Who wants to hire a socially phobic ex-Realtor with no recent job references ? Oh , wait ...I hear them lining up outside.



My kids are going through job hell as well. One wasn't paid what he was supposed to be paid. One is barely working at all. Naturally ,THIS is when his car breaks down. Ack!
And the one with his own company ,needs to hire a leg breaker to get people to pay what they owe him.
What is Obama gonna do about this??? Hmmmm???




I've had no luck finding a geek yet. Did you know that "geek squad" is through Best Buy?
I didn't know that. WE do not have a Best Buy. They are building one as we speak. That is not helping me.



I can't tell you how glad I am to have t.v.,phone and internet back! Speaking of luxuries, you know what the most noticeable one is ,since my return?
Being able to wash my hands in warm water.That's right! Warm water comes right out of my faucet.
Not having to fill ice trays or hang laundry in my living room is pretty cool too.

*********************************************************************************
Some comments to ya'lls comments:


Brad said...Try a very wet wash cloth on that boy before you risk life and limb on the full submersion bath. I use it on Lilly when she's been playing in the goat barn.

So what's the plan on getting the rest of the clan home?




I already tried that. His fur is just not fluffy. He looks like white trash. LOL
It could be that he grew a winter coat in that hell hole and THAT fur may just look scroungy ,like when they have baby fur.

The rest of the clan will be staying in England. Hubby will come home this summer for vacation and Cavuto and I will go back to England after vacation. His quarantine will be over mid July.

All the years I was married to hubby #1, I'd board my dogs when we'd go out of town. They were always very happy to see me. Until I saw the difference in Cavuto, I never dreamed they'd grieve so much!


Animals can lose the will to live and will literally starve themselves to death. I have seen it happen. Years ago, someone gave us a long haired Siamese cat named Ivy.My mother gave Ivy to a man at the gas station. About 3 weeks later she saw the man and asked about Ivy. "Oh , he's still in a cage ,the man said, acting miserable and unhappy."
He gave Ivy back to us. ...nearly dead. In spite of going to the Vet and being given i.v. fluids. Poor Ivy did not make it. His spirit had been broken and it was too late to save him.
That was NOT going to happen to my Cavuto!

Cavuto is really thin. Prison food didn't measure up. Also, I looked at the "blood draw" site under his chin. That looks a bit excessive for just drawing blood. Prison didn't agree with this little man.


He DOES look just awful!When they did the blood draw they shaved a little area on his neck and I think they nicked him with the clippers. In THAT environment,it soon turned into a huge crusty scab.If they had shaved the spot where they inserted his microchip ,maybe the damn thing would have gone in deep enough to have stayed there. Gah!





Poor Cavuto! He sure looks emaciated. I think he must have lost all his appetite AND didn't like the prison food. Poor baby. I know you will fatten him up in no time. Every time Cavuto curls up for a nap in the daytime, go rub his face. Every time. Then at night he will be so tired he will sleep and not wake you. I would like to be a fly on the wall when you go talk to your vet about that mythical micro-chip. G5



I think he was too sad and cold to eat.Yesterday afternoon ,every time he tried to go to sleep I got him up and sang "No sleeping, no sleeping!" He must have thought I was nuts , But he did sleep until 4 A. M. this morning. I'm positive I will be getting a NEW Vet . Even if I have to drive to Dallas to find one!

do you complain about everything? You must have something that is good in your life...what happened to the blog you wrote that said that you would be thankful for things back in the states, after you had been in England?
It sounds like you need to get something to do to make your life nicer.


I have plenty that's good in my life. But I think that since wounds hurt when they are fresh, I have every right to feel sad that my family has been ripped apart over some bullshit.And since this is MY blog I guess that gives me the right to say so.

How could this not make me flaming mad?

L: Cavuto before quarantine

R: after with his sides all sunken in.
















Before, beautiful and healthy.










After, I don't think I need words here.
Even his eyes do not look normal.












After: fitting in that crumb of a bed.
Looking dry and mangy.













Before: spilling his fat happy self out of his girl bed.
Shiny , pretty and happy.









Have a great day Ya'll!

Luv me
