I am starting to wonder...

if somehow I haven't found myself with a Vampire cat... and should I change her name to Bella?

Sounds weird doesn't it???? but considering she spends a great deal (read nearly all!) of the day light hours under my bed, that is unless she is forcibly evicted at which time she then tottles off to find somewhere else to hide under... preferably dark...

I have found her in the pantry a couple of times hiding in a dark corner... several times she has been evicted from the hot water cupboard... though considering how chilly it is here at the moment I can kinda see the logic there!

But I mean seriously how long can a cat stay hidden away under something before it gets brave enough to come out... or maybe its just a case of her being stubborn... like if I don't give in maybe they will take me back to that other place I lived...

She does come out in the evening and smooches round... oh and I found out the other night quite by accident when a friends hubby came round to drop off some firewood that she is a bit of a tartlet around men... smooching up to them for all she is worth!

What to do... what to do... suggestions...

Thank you Gabi

Gabi pointed out this song that had been featured on Tara Whitney's blog...

What a happy song... I love the messy fun they were obviously having...

Interesting numbers... repetition... catching my interest...

Other things to have caught my interest in the last few days are mostly furniture items... I am now the proud new owner of ... an old style extendable table and chairs... you know the kind that tend to squeeze down into something vaguely resembling a square?!?!?! a lounge suite that is also in the older (think Queen Anne) style... and another china cabinet amongst other little bits and bobs...

It will make for a couple of pretty busy days picking everything up but it will be so worth it in the end... and then after all that I will have no reasons left to procrastinate any longer and will be forced into removing all the boxes from the spare room... organising the furniture I have for it and then doing something about said boxes removed from the spare room... part of the make over of said room includes dragging an old fashioned bed frame back from a dusty life and then no doubt spreading the contents of my linen cupboard far and wide in the search for bed linen for said piece...

Some would say that I live a terribly dreary life... but seriously who is to say this is NOT the height of excitement? I mean nights out at pubs or clubs or traipsing off to concerts here and there are so fleeting... at least after a bit of a bun fight with boxes I will have something lasting... well at least until the repair crew from Fletchers arrive... And just look there... there is more excitement in and of itself... I mean NO one knows when the repair crew are going to turn up at your earthquake rattled house to fix it until so close to the fact that you just have to go with it and NOT stress at all about it...

And to add further excitement to your day... well I am pleased to announce that Miss Sophie Noir the newest member of our family has decided that while hiding under beds, sofas etc is fun... actually coming out and getting some loving is just as good... mind she does nick back under bed or sofa if loved a little TOOOOOOO much!

I am...

so pleased with what I have achieved today... its just been one of those fantastic winter days where everything just fell nicely into place... starting with a quick shopping trip for winter jammies and sneakers for little Miss D... still teeny around but is shooting up some now...

Then back home to start tidying up the garage... its been long over due and now that I actually have shelving and storage in there well it makes the job some what easier... still have quite a bit to go... but I figured that could wait till tomorrow... I did get the two sets of gifted drawers fixed (broken runners) finished which is great cause now they can be used to their fullest... nothing wrong with the rest of them just the runners and about $20 for those and they are now like new again!

IF you remember a while back I said that I had got the girls a trampoline that had nets as well... well the trampoline has been up and being used for a bit now... but getting the nets done was evading me... NOT any longer... after a bit of help with two support poles that didn't want to play nice I finished off the rest with the help of Miss D this afternoon! They can now jump safely all over the trampoline without having to worry about coming a cropper off the edge...

And unless something goes horribly pear shaped between now and Friday I will be able to get the Morris going and taken down to the local garage for a Warrant of Fitness... cross fingers that its age and engine size is taken into account and that it passes... though I am seriously NOT going to hold my breath...

And once again tax time has crept up... thankfully this year I am getting a very small refund but its a refund none the less... I am sure I could spend it a dozen times over...

Seriously nothing very exciting to anyone else but there are lots of exciting little bits in here for me... little achievements... and some not so little!
