He doesn’t quite understand he is defeating the object here by pushing the stick under the carpet, not getting it out! Bless him!

Check out half way through, looks like his thumbs are bending backwards! Odd moggy!

A sad day for bowls of the Nation. My favourite bowl (perfect for lashings of gravy or curry sauce) got murdered by a bottle of vinegar at high speeds falling out of a cupboard. I have been wearing black ever since.

The plate/bowl is no longer available or being made, so it’s a internet hunt for another one!
If you come into the presence of one please let me know, plates just don’t hold as much gravy

On a random night out many moons ago, I bumped into Krystle – we got a little tipsy and became great friends. At the time Krys was doing a few jobs here and there including events and other bits, her dream to be a makeup artist. Skip ahead a few years, go past some random stories and you have this -

Krys has just started releasing some awesome videos for makeup tips and the such like! If only I was a) not lazy and b) not lazy – I might actually follow some of her tips!
Krys, you have come a long way since doing this to me;

So give her a follow on youtube, become her fan on facebook, follow her on twitter, check out her website – and tell her I sent you!

Well, what a shitter! This week I was supposed to be doing my EFR and Rescue Diver courses. Monday started off well with an intensive day of EFR (Emergency First Response) – All went well and I got a near perfect score on my exam (go me!) Tuesday started with yet another intensive day of learning on the Rescue Diver course – this day was filled with theory lessons and discussions – I was having a brilliant time, and although nervous about the days ahead, I was super excited. It was also the day my dear friend Terri bought her car and my closest friend from home revealed a massive secret!
This is where I should have been – in the nice water 

Then it all went wrong!
I was coming down the stairs when something didn’t go right and I heard an almighty crunch, followed by excruciating pain (so painful I found myself unable to swear, and cried!) Next thing I know I’m on the sofa shivering violently and feeling like someone just shot me in the foot. Given my recent EFR training I was able to keep myself warm to control the shivers, raise my foot up high and knew to call for help.
Bring on the rescuers!
A little while later, fresh from Zumba, Terri and Martyn came to my rescue, took one look at me and ushered me into the car and off to a and e! At this point I sobbed (that’s how much it hurt!) 3 hours later, 5 xrays, solpadol, a pink pill and some morphine in a syringe that I had to drink and I was finally home.
I have basically chipped a bone in my foot, and have been given some sexy crutches and told to stay off my foot for a while as it heals! Nice
So, no diving! But luckily the guys at in deep are super nice and postponed my course for me! Thanks to Sean, Pete and Kirsten!
Huge thanks to Martyn and Terri for coming to my aid!
Big thanks to everyone for the get well soon messages and the texts checking if I am alive!
