Good Morning Me Bingo Babies. How we all diddling?

I’m diddling fine thankyou for asking.

Ready for me week being captain gulp. Sarah off to smell the tulips whilst wearing clogs this week. She as hesitantly handed over the office keys to me. I got to make sure I lock the door at night and turn the lights out. Also don’t answer the door to strangers. And when I go home I have to give her 3 rings. Did you ever have to do that when you were growing up? Give your mum 3 rings? My mum is that nosey she couldn’t wait for the full 3 rings and used to answer on the second. “Hello Aly” she would say and put the phone down. Waste of 10p in the phone box that was, at least talk for the full 10p till me pips went tut. Ok hands up how many people have no idea what I’m talking bout? I’m not saying Gladys Night was in the phone box with me. The beep beep beep beep when your 10p was running out.

Good grief how far did I need to go off tangent then?? Hold up going to take me 5 minutes to get meself back on track….. Anyways Auntie Bessie Lover as I like to call her is off to Holland to live in a windmill. Hope she don’t see a mouse… where?… there on the stair…. where on the stair?…. right there… a little mouse with clogssssssssssssss on well I declare going clip clippity clop on the stairs….. oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

O M G I did it again…..Shall I explain the Aunt Bessie comment?? I promise to stay on track….I have been told the best Yorkshire pudding recipe everrrrrrrrrr, and coming from Essex I have been bestowed this secret recipe because I have lived ooop north for 20 years and finally the natives are taking me under their wing. I can’t ever call meself a Yorkshire lass but I have an honouree membership. Anywaysssssssssssss Yorkshire pudding mix…..one cup plain flour…same cup of milk….same cup of eggs. Bang in oven 200 for 30 mins…WOW….they are monsters. Sarah is still belongs to the Aunt Bessie school of cooking. 3 minutes in oven sorted…Wonder if there’s a Yorkshire pudding department at child line?

Anyways, the bus needs an oil change I have no idea what those CH’s do to this bus each night, the Roo’s need mucking out and feeding and I got to go stock up on Immac and razors for 3 legged.

Keep well and warm. And try the Yorkshire puddings, I want photos of your monsters.

Addio mia bingo neonati e cari amici. Oh I gone all Italian today!

p.s A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice. There’s nobody there now but a whole lot of mice.

Hola Me Luberly Bingo Babies.

Miss me? Don’t fib I bet ya never realised I was gone. Just part of the furniture eh?

I had a few days off to spend time with ole Bel. Kids are on half term this week. It wasn’t the relaxing chill out time I was hoping for but then again when do my plans ever go right?

Sunday we bottomed the house. To say we have only lived here eight weeks good grief did I bring the dust packed in a cardboard box too?? Question for you….do dust bunnies that live under beds breed or are they just born that way? Poor old Derek Dyson thought the torture would never end.

Monday was decorating day. Bel’s bedroom used to belong to a 6 month baby so you can imagine the decorating. Cute Winnie the Pooh baby border is not my lasses cup of tea. So I did a changing rooms special. Painted the lot bright sherbet Barbie pink and stuck a border over it. It actually glows so no need for a light bulb in there. You drive down our road now and a pink haze halo’s the house.

Tuesday the sun was shining, perfect day out weather. We went to the tropical butterfly house. O…M….G I held a python called Monty (original) and a boa called Betty. Bel wouldn’t touch them she waited outside. So there was I in a queue of 7 year olds wanting a hold. I did get Bel to hold a butterfly (she such a wimp). She had her eyes closed the whole time and made a noise I’m sure only dogs could hear. Then we went to feed the goats. Well I say feed the goats. The goats ate what they wanted whilst Bel and I stood terrified not know what way to run. They are like a street gang of hoodies. They wait till your back is turned and just mug you. One had me car keys out my pocket and I had to climb into the pen and literally fight to get them back. The little cute one had Bel’s hair bobble out her hair and devoured it.

Wednesday was cinema day. I fancied Astro Boy but Bel decided we were going to see Princess and the Frog. (Yawn). She needed some new school shoes so I thought 2 birds with one stone and off we traipsed to Meadowhall. MeadowHELL more like. Imagine the biggest shopping complex you can and over fill it with twice the amount of people that could logically fit inside. Not my finest decision I admit. Never got to see the film because of the queues but at least we got the shoes. We got home gone 5pm. Poorer, tired, grumpy, and achy but with shoes and a balloon Bel was given from the Disney shop. It had Princess and the Frog picture on it. Is that irony?

So there’s my chilling relaxing week for you!

Now I’m back and ready for my quiet time lol.

Keep ya pipes lagged, ya lofts boarded and never take a few days off work because you will come back even more stressed than you were before.

Hasta luego amigos Alyster x
