Hello new house!!

Yay the Hamster wheel is changing location! After a long year of ups and downs the right house has finally found us!

In about 2 weeks we will get the keys and start decoratng and moving in, we are just so excited! A home of our own!

It is actually really close to where our house is at the moment and we have to pass it anytime we want to drive out of our town. As we drive past the opening to the street a wee voice in the back of the car pipes up,

"Hello New House!!! We'll be coming soon!! We'll be bringing all we're stuff!!"

It is too cute, especially the we're instead of our thing, melts my heart

Mucho furryness

Just thought I would pass the spotlight momentarily the the 5th member of our family. Our beloved Meatball! AKA Thalia, meaty meaty meaterson, THALILA (usually yelled by K if the puss is up to no good) , our hooooge one pussytat!

She is a beautiful silver and black tabby Maine Coon. Apparently her mum is pure silver and her Dad is a tabby, her mum is about the size of a regular cat and a good hunter. Her Dad rarely ventures out and is HUGE. Hmm guess who our little Princess takes after! She is really getting quite big already and research tells me they keep growing until they are 4 or 5! She is only 1 1/2 years old!

She is just a big , chunky lazy ball of fur and love . Like a big ol' meatball! Hence her nickname.

We do love her so!

Welcome to the world of Blogging Meaty!

In the pink

It is a sad week in the hamster wheel this week. My Grandad is in the hospital and it really at the end. Poor soul. So I have spent a lot of time there and not so much at home with my angels.

Yesterday Kirsten and I decided that some much needed girl time was in order! So we set off for a spot of window shopping. It was a glorious crisp and sunny day, we had a ball!

We even managed to squeeze in a little bit of cake!






Love ya baby!

Oh well good intentions and all that..........

The posts dried up! LOL I didn't even get to post the ones I had planned!

hopefully soon soon soon.

Back in the saddle again ...

Oh dear I can't believe it is already Jan 30th! And only one post to my name for this whole month!

Life in the hamster wheel has kind of taken over!! I have had so little computer time! But never mind I am fully intending on changing that back to normal. Just a little reprioritising is needed , that's all ;)

So watch this space!

Just to get me started this is the first of 3 posts for the day LOL

The most wonderful time of the year!

We had a blast! What a wonderful, magical, fun filled family time of year! Snata very much enjoyed his mince pies , apple juice and beer that was left out for him! He still managed to sneak in with enough presents to take over our entire house, regardless of Fraser not being asleep until around 1am.
Murray and I woke up at 5.30am! We had to wait until 7.30am for the kids to get up! It was unbearable! We were too excited!
Christmas dinner went well, I managed not to require the services of the local Fire Department ;)
We had a lovely day just chilling out in our own home, which was wonderful as we haven't ever done that before. I think we will definitely make a habit out of it! The kids had a lovely time being home and playing with their new toys.
Oh well, as Keri wrote to me in my Christmas Card - only 365 days until I get to do it all over again! wooo hooo!

2 sleeps to go!

I cant believe it is only 2 sleeps to go until Christmas morning!

The shopping is done, the turkey is defrosting, the presents are wrapped. I have soup , shortbread and fudge to make and then I am done!!! After that I can hand over to the big man himself! Just as I sit down in Christmas eve , his work is just beginning!

It's the most wondeful time of the year!!

From all of us .............

To all of you!







A very Merry Christmas!

Come and trim my Christmas tree, with some decorations bought at Tiffany's. (ok more likely to be tesco haha)

Here is the Princess decorating her very own tree in her very own room! For the first time ever!











I missed Fraser doing his as I was still unpacking the decorations, around 30 seconds after I handed the tree to him he came back to say it was done LOL. It is perfect though! Even if it is a little squashed, he didnt realise you needed to pull out the branches as every year I am allowed to help and this year I didnt get time to tell him! haha. But he is more than happy and he did it all himself! Which is what really counts

Oh my goodness!

we are really in the thick of it now!!!!



Only 21 sleeps to go!!
