Day 18 & 19 of Advent

The snow is still here but managed to dig the car out (it took me half an hour)... I am not looking to Monday morning rush hour tomorrow! I think all this white stuff is effecting the interweave as it is soooo slow just now ...

For today we have kittens on screen (just  click on the screen), a lovely Ferry Halim game (I actually did quite well on this one), a weird thing I have not tried yet as I need to take some photos (quite looking forward to seeing how I look as a mask), someone who takes the decking of the house in lights far too serious and LloydTSB are looking to create a new character ... 

I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said, 'Analogue.' I said 'No, just a watch.'

Some one has stolen my dog and put a Farah Fawcett wig on her.... she does look kinda fetching!

But I think she looks more festive in this photo .. albeit a bit fed up

Day 17 of Advent

A week today is Christmas Eve ..blimey it is coming along fast!! I am almost done with the pressie shopping but still have few bits to buy and post.. not relishing the thought of queuing up at the Post Office tomorrow though.....

Q: How do we know that Father Christmas has passed his sleigh driving test?
A: No-el plates!


I am just loving this news report  blooper.. the voice over so fits the footage... 


I have seen this before and may have sent it to a few of you but it is worth another look... it is awesome [and scary] to see the extent of 'stuff' over your local area ...


No game tonight but a musical interlude .. it did make me smile 


As this is 70s blog I thought it was time I posted a 70s type thing ... this advert is classic... every child should have one this Christmas 

Day 16 of Advent

In 10 days time we will have been stuffed with turkey and chilling out with old films on TV or hitting the sales in order to beat the VAT rise iIn the UK) ... I for one will be doing the former in the comfort of my mums house. Tomorrow I am doing my last dash for pressies at Manchester's Christmas market, it is HUGE this year. Every where you turn there are fabulous Continental stores .. 

This is amazing... I have always wondered how you fold a fitted sheet ... I have a heap of them rolled like the left hand image on the video.... I must try what the lady suggests ... it looks far too simple ...

Not on your nellie ever would I ever be tempted to try this ... are they mad???

Maybe these kittens would like to try it out?

I don't do golf, play PC well, fly and I certainly can't fly a helicopter ... I did try this game ... I got it in the air... flew across to the island and crashed, then I over shot and drowned in the ocean ... another game I am rubbish at but I think it could be good in the hands of some less 'PCgamphobic' than me!

Day 15 of Advent

Day 13 and 14 of Advent

Day 13 & 14 of Advent  only 10 shopping days til Christmas. I remember years ago that it would only be 9 shopping days and you would have to get those presents in the hours of 9-5 and not open on a Sunday. Today  the shops are open until 22.00 hours 6 days a week and  6 hours on a Sunday. When they started opening on a Sunday and late night Thursday that is when I got out of 'retail'.




There are some cool sounds to be made with this ... I did try and open this in work today to entertain everyone but 'big brother' wouldn't let me :(

Q: What is Father Christmas' cat's favourite fizzy drink?
A: Fanta Claws!


Every car should have one of these 


Shaun the Sheep is is so cool in Wallace and Gromit but this game will want you want to see a plump lamb chop on your plate 


Shuddering at the amount of info on this black board .. how on earth could you follow this ??

Day 12 of Advent

Day 12 of Advent and only 12 days til Christmas Eve ..... note to self 'stay calm and you will get all the shopping done in time and write and post all the cards despite being maxed out in work and having to do long days in order to deliver before the Christmas break'

Been to the beach today ... just love the break from the 'hoo ha' that is fast forward life just now ... complete silence apart from the waves lapping up on the shore ... fabulous 

Spotted these scary creatures on the shore .. this one and the others were about 2 foot in circumference  ....

so back to the Advent stuff... if you are interested about how we were 'back in the day' and before were back in the day you will love this.

My cuz who puts all this calendar together described this game as a 'brilliant and simple game' .... yes it is brilliant but I am sooo rubbish at driving games I end up going backwards.. thankfully my real life driving is better!!

How cute is this pic ??

Day 10 & 11 of Advent

Days 10 & 11.... had a great Xmas do yesterday ... we are new, small but perfectly formed team of 6 so it was great to socialise with the 3 that have joined us in the past few weeks..... I have spent all day putting up the Christmas decorations ... I can't believe it took so long ....but at least the pup is getting into the Christmas spirit...

Now this is a weird one ... it tells you how far your pooh travels from your house from the last time you flushed ... I kid you not!!! Fascinating stuff ....... mine after 20 minutes is travelling through the countryside (thought I would share that with you!!!)

I wish I had thought of this when Teen was growing up .... I have got a complete set of photos from her school days on the first day of the new school year and it is interesting how much she grew each year (and how I didn't decorate the lounge for years!!) 

Now I love Tetris... it was one of the first games I played when I was first introduced to a home computer and I play it now on Facebook. But this version does make me feel a bit queezy ... have a go and let me know whether it has the same effect on you?

Loving these photos of the stars 

 

sooo cute .....

Two drunken pebbles on the beach having a conversation.
