The weather hasn't been bad at all in the UK, fingers crossed it stays that way! Im having a few problems with my blog, my email connected to it has expired and as yet I haven't changed it over which is why you might not have been able to comment (unless you have all forgotten about me lol) on some if my posts!<br />
We are enjoying the school hols, we have had a few day trips so far. This Sunday we are going to London, to the Natural History Museum, the thought of a 2 - 3 hour journey in the car with my boys is not appealing at all but Im sure it will be worth it!!<br />
This little madam has turned mad hunteress, I think in this picture Daisy thinks she is a squirrel, it's my favourite photo of her. She has turned from a sweet little kitten to a fully fledged bird killer. I know it's in there nature but its so cruel for the poor birds!! A collar with a bell is the answer whether she likes it or not!!<br />

I have recently re-discovered mars bars and think its down to the advert for them with John Barnes in it. As soon as I hear that famous rap, Im transported back to my very first holiday without my parents. My then best friend and myself went to sunny spain, whilst the 1990 world cup was on!! This song was every where and its definatly on my guilty pleasure song list!! Going back to the 6.30 morning, it suddenly dawned on me it was TWENTY bloomin years ago, argh, where did that go!!! When you are younger and you always get told by the older generation that you still feel 18 and everything feels like yesterday, it is so very true.<div>As you can imagine, living in a household of males , its world cup fever here!! Hubby is English, my older two have the Italian link through their father, youngest and step son are half Welsh, half English so their are lots of diffrent football kits floating around our house (which incidently I hate) throw in a Holland kit and Spain one too<object style="background-image:url(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/XnUh5LlrPZ4/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XnUh5LlrPZ4&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XnUh5LlrPZ4&hl=en_US&fs=1" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div>so no real loyalties, lol!! Hubby of course would disagree, normally he doesnt want to draw attention to himself but I went into the garden on the day of Englands first match to find two huge England flags flying from the washing line (old fashion pully, goes very high in the air) and him wearing his England top (we live in Cardiff so lots of jokes and comments get thrown around as you can imagine, even so...Wales where were you, maybe next time)</div><div>Whilst Im on the subject of sport, these past weeks have been crazy for us as parents, all our boys play football, training is still going on. Cricket has now commenced both for school and clubs!! Max the eldest played with the school at the Swalec stadium (England played an Ashes match there last year) and got beat in the final, Louie, middle child also played for his school in the grounds of Cardiff Castle and they won their tournement. This week was sports presentation eve at our school and there was a very special guest, Gareth Bale who plays for Spurs, he used to go to the boys school, as you can imagine they were all so excited and today Max is having a cricket training day with his ad other schools and two England cricketers are joining them (they played again in Cardiff </div><div>yesterday against Australia) so they have all had a fab couple of weeks!!! </div><div>Gosh I've rambled so enjoy John Barnes xx</div><div>PS Im sure England didn't get off to a good start because they didn't do a world cup song!!!!</div>Clairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17426515073578793239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808866979666206250.post-49301433361640704722010-04-05T16:52:00.006+01:002010-04-05T17:24:26.423+01:00How Many Times Have You Moved?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqewqCY5wB3tb1Qvv9CU5kOwQ4fG4Oozqr56XuqfgyPY0jBns9dUndnX3ojnG2TlAlkAkuMADRiaHHLytGmwQaoXBY5acc8VXVc4WgaO-2kg1fKkakOc5lk9xzQ0IckyZfxzmrqRnt5s/s1600/Country_cottage.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqewqCY5wB3tb1Qvv9CU5kOwQ4fG4Oozqr56XuqfgyPY0jBns9dUndnX3ojnG2TlAlkAkuMADRiaHHLytGmwQaoXBY5acc8VXVc4WgaO-2kg1fKkakOc5lk9xzQ0IckyZfxzmrqRnt5s/s400/Country_cottage.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456682193385520194" /></a> (image via Ideal Home website)<div><br />Happy Easter everyone, hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend!!<div><br /></div><div>Do you have the urge to keep moving house or are you settled in your current home? Im just curious as I would love to know what you love about your home and why you choose to stay there as moi can't seem to settle. Im not planning on moving from this house (much to hubby's relief) just yet.........yes I know I did say in previous post that this would be our forever home but I seem to get to about two years into a home and get an urge to move again! Why is this I wonder!! This current house we have renovated from top to bottom and we have deorated it to how we want our dream house to be but still I feel that urge again!! </div><div>Previous to this house we rented what I actually think might be my forever home but it wasn't for sale, even after two years of not living there I still can't drive past the road without feeling jealous as I want it back!!!! I've heard through the grape-vine that the owners are considering selling it maybe next year which has got me thinking how much I would love to buy it and dream how I could make it look!! </div><div>I left my parents to live with my first husband at 21 and since then have moved 7 times, the only house I keep thinking of is the rented one but is it fair to uproot the boys again. We have fantastic neighbours, it is a lovely home in a lovely road so why can't I settle????? Answers on a postcard....lol!!! </div><div><br /></div><div>Claire xx</div><div><br /></div><div><div><br /></div></div></div>Clairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17426515073578793239noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808866979666206250.post-88931337098898144512010-03-24T14:46:00.003+00:002010-03-24T14:50:59.198+00:00Rosali is back at Ikea<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AMfjxHbUOBnLB7fQrD2LSFfW3raVIo1-afmkwEuvOffZwuPG31VHxPjdQjgInfo4_9R31wzgfKK5rMzPjLbgQaYo4tgqFH4emY2niVLIPA3RiG2Qpc6NlBtiNJplBOYFdjYwwwRDt68/s1600/080.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 393px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AMfjxHbUOBnLB7fQrD2LSFfW3raVIo1-afmkwEuvOffZwuPG31VHxPjdQjgInfo4_9R31wzgfKK5rMzPjLbgQaYo4tgqFH4emY2niVLIPA3RiG2Qpc6NlBtiNJplBOYFdjYwwwRDt68/s400/080.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452212173901866114" /></a>Hi, just popped to Ikea (Cardiff) and guess what I spotted.....Rosali duvet sets.

Finally it kind of came together. The room was painted in Farrow and Ball's clunch when we first moved in, a colour I love but the whole room looked too cream and white so one wall was painted in Laura Ashley Duck Egg blue and I found curtains in a similar colour, added a few more pics including the one you can just see by the lamp, its actually a sheet of wrapping paper I got from Baileys, its a vintage style print of Manhatten and bought a frame from Ikea and it looks fab as I've seen some for silly prices!!!!

I have been checking on you all to keep up with everyone so its about time I pulled my finger out too!!<div>This lot have been keeping me busy, most school days I'm like a cart horse, carrying various lunch bags, reading bags, p.e kits etc, (why is that they all seem to read and do p.e on the same day) which normally means 3/4 bags each, obviously mum ends up carrying most of them!! One day last week Max had netball (yes boys play now) cross country, rugby training and a football match, how did he manage to do his lessons too? Louie had also started violin so yet another thing for me to lug around!!

Apparantly cats who are all white with blue eyes are nearly always 100% deaf but the fact Daisy has a green eye means she can hear in the one ear, so far she seems to hear everything! We have had her for nearly two weeks and she is adorable, I only have a few pics of her, will take some more soon! Now I hope Catherine Mollycupcakes doesnt mind that we have called her Daisy, but its the only name we all agree on. She is pure white (slightly grey now after going into places that havent been dusted in a long time...ooops!) and she will have a yellow collar to make it her just like a pretty Daisy (how sad am I )<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoI8zEBQ5X-7_THdDiKe4i0VHR4-os7bIhn-CtJVVisZNbTcccvdYaTf5Kbgshah6mbMEQHgShucM0zoydtQm7YqMQEfRXCAwT77WAC4QQxZg6brQQzYgdGh_HqN_osTLAKhpHFS2FUtM/s1600-h/IMG_2211.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320447842752250226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoI8zEBQ5X-7_THdDiKe4i0VHR4-os7bIhn-CtJVVisZNbTcccvdYaTf5Kbgshah6mbMEQHgShucM0zoydtQm7YqMQEfRXCAwT77WAC4QQxZg6brQQzYgdGh_HqN_osTLAKhpHFS2FUtM/s400/IMG_2211.JPG" border="0" /></a> So far she has been excellant, no toilet accidents and sleeping through the night!!

Its a great place to go with children and there are some beautiful birds to see and some very stinky cranes and flamingoes (who always remind me of Miami Vice :) ) of course the purchase of a football was soon forgotten as do we really need another one when there are twenty in the back garden!!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I've been charging up my ipod today and adding new music and thought I would give you a list of the artists and bands on there, talk about eclectic but I suppose thats what its all about, hubby has a serious love of music so we have millions of CD's, I love the fact the boys already have a wide selction of music taste, Louie's fave at the mo is Kiss as long as he doesnt want to wear make up like theirs...lol..

We decided this year not to buy each other anything except a card, so after watching Wales v England in rugby (sorry English friends) I cooked a nice meal and we shared a bottle of champagne, even nicer was the fact that we didnt have the boys around, my two were at their dads and Mason was at my mum-in-laws.....bliss!!<br />I have been awarded the below award from the wonderful Happy @ Happy Loves Rosie, thankyou so much, I love your blog, its so colourful and stylish and HAPPY!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGnCmYw8tqye24raI4q-okIRrD1bLCK3k7b8bTw7_mwthhdp_FqOuPevTA0cJIkekLJNoHdrdDbR075Xsw7lHJB-1b6rQMqO07eNQ0DkDUbVC_VKCkpbz1McrqQNhhaIfIQNwZOeWQIU/s1600-h/Award_-_proximidade_-_Pixiedust.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303046803099508770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 153px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGnCmYw8tqye24raI4q-okIRrD1bLCK3k7b8bTw7_mwthhdp_FqOuPevTA0cJIkekLJNoHdrdDbR075Xsw7lHJB-1b6rQMqO07eNQ0DkDUbVC_VKCkpbz1McrqQNhhaIfIQNwZOeWQIU/s400/Award_-_proximidade_-_Pixiedust.jpg" border="0" /></a> Thankyou the lovely Thrifty Mrs for arranging the Valentines swap, I was paired with the very talented Sara @ All About Eden, now as you all know I'm useless at making things and dint even attempt to make anything so I hope Sara liked her goodies!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsbWuabXNanx_G9flmtv_zcuyN20ABmRYjPdxhadoG9QZ0Lsl57-VfkKTy98AMvvtRcGUkjfQnKUx6ZR1gZt24Bz-XRbujhaJIw2GFvrkv91PSJlRLIJ1cIGhr4WNMmx8rp6EKfx3jt5Y/s1600-h/IMG_2110.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303046468215219682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsbWuabXNanx_G9flmtv_zcuyN20ABmRYjPdxhadoG9QZ0Lsl57-VfkKTy98AMvvtRcGUkjfQnKUx6ZR1gZt24Bz-XRbujhaJIw2GFvrkv91PSJlRLIJ1cIGhr4WNMmx8rp6EKfx3jt5Y/s400/IMG_2110.JPG" border="0" /></a> Mine arrived wrapped beautifully, the smelt wonderful too!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgleFxD9N2BmtZdS_GjkB-myI-fB05Y2I1zAAmkPSMwZCsY5EagmR4MCiQRgkolsIfuWIAyS1QKBdOneDIwRBZ3Vwz2Bu_oAIpeNl6PuNPJTADPmc0kpHcY5LFIPU63rgTCN_DnbHtfhtQ/s1600-h/IMG_2111.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303046315820541714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgleFxD9N2BmtZdS_GjkB-myI-fB05Y2I1zAAmkPSMwZCsY5EagmR4MCiQRgkolsIfuWIAyS1QKBdOneDIwRBZ3Vwz2Bu_oAIpeNl6PuNPJTADPmc0kpHcY5LFIPU63rgTCN_DnbHtfhtQ/s400/IMG_2111.JPG" border="0" /></a> I recieved a gorgeous pouch which Sara had initialled my name, inside was a scrummy smelling soap.

Lots of snow ball fights (just as well I took extra uniform for them to change into) and me falling over as usual, the boys quite happily remind me the last time it snowed I fell then...thankyou!! Our school did open much to the dissapointment of the boys, I dont think there will be much left by the time I pick them up as the sun is out and I can see drips on the roofs and chairs in the garden!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsiK8XsL69UIqu-Xqso6jAd-z0S6X1mBqLqI1p6R8pzqtitYN2Hia5f5m82hZoErAzO6PeQdH6EhBoROheqG7XoX6keT-y0m9e5qZDgjYuArzTUIr8lwcLQAWXnMNa28BX__wd5xUwPI/s1600-h/IMG_2108.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298532576202365618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsiK8XsL69UIqu-Xqso6jAd-z0S6X1mBqLqI1p6R8pzqtitYN2Hia5f5m82hZoErAzO6PeQdH6EhBoROheqG7XoX6keT-y0m9e5qZDgjYuArzTUIr8lwcLQAWXnMNa28BX__wd5xUwPI/s400/IMG_2108.JPG" border="0" /></a> I have been tagged by Bluberry Heart, to choose the 4th file in my picture section then choose the 4th picture, here it is, it s not very exciting is it?

On tuesday a gorgeous cat was brought to see us, she was beautiful to look at but much bigger than we thought she would be, she seemed very relaxed around us and the older two loved her even though she scrammed both of them, Mason was very scared and we couldnt even get him into the room. So we have decided to wait until Spring when the kittens will appear (is it just me but I just presumed that female cats were like us ladies and got pregnant all year round, apparantly not!!!) as we think a smaller cat would suit him!! Steve came up with idea of preparing him for one, so last night Steve put two toy cats by the side of Masons bed with a saucer and some small lego bits which are food and he has to feed them every night and morning bless him!!<br /></div><div>I have Louie at home poorly today, so not really getting much done. </div><div>Have you visited Lulu Carter blog, she has fab taste, she recommended a website <a href="http://www.redcover.com/">http://www.redcover.com/</a> , you have to register but you can then drool over the most gorgeous houses!!!

The boys and hubby were ill over christmas and theres me thinking I got away with it but oh no, day before New Years Eve, I too succumbed and headed to my bed!! I wont bore you with the gories but it wasnt one of our better Christmas's I can tell you. We all did recieve fab pressies from Father Christmas which more than made up for us poorlies!! Anyhow were all getting over it ready to start the New Year.<br />I will do another blog about my lovely pressies I recieved but havent taken any pics of them yet, however, thanks to my wonderful dad I'm now the proud owner of one said CK Roberts radio, now before you all think 'wow how cool is Claire's dad, he's so hip to know who Cath Kidston is'.....lol.....he very generously gave myself and Steve money which we split and I knew exactly what I wanted. Now I definalty wasnt planning on getting the CK version as they are £50 more than the plain ones (I love CK but how can you justify that extra money???) so we popped to a shop that I knew sold Roberts radios and had seen online that the plain ones were reduced so was more than happy to have one of those. So you can imagine my delight when I'm umming and arghing between a pink or cream one when hubby says to me that there is a floral one as well, I dismissed it straight away saying it was too expensive and he says no its not 'look' well I had to stop myself from screaming as it had £85 off it......can you believe it, it was cheaper than the others. I could have tap danced there and then!! Know I dont know why it was reduced that much but believe me I didn't hang around to find out if it was a mistake. I checked on CK's website and their still selling for the full price! So a huuuge big thankyou to my gorgeous dad, of course he doesn't think its a bargain and thinks I'm completely barmy to have bought it!!<br />Here she is looking splendid on my kitchen shelf! She just make sthe kitchen look so more homely and cosy dont you think? I know....I'm barmy..lol<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipH7OdY_gdRmyza_0j8j3IapCWqTl0CLs7BBo_1ZUSkQepVuk7oWnqcoIIww0aohnywRp7C8xTgO6TPHXGxsUCXlvOOLL1oHEvoa2hubFV7tJKtCvhOFYQVxHfjjOrq2BDKNux6PCDlro/s1600-h/IMG_1975.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286803416822560402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipH7OdY_gdRmyza_0j8j3IapCWqTl0CLs7BBo_1ZUSkQepVuk7oWnqcoIIww0aohnywRp7C8xTgO6TPHXGxsUCXlvOOLL1oHEvoa2hubFV7tJKtCvhOFYQVxHfjjOrq2BDKNux6PCDlro/s400/IMG_1975.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgalMzwDe5cj7QKJASC7AQXWxsN_9dfwvSolzkYYBPM0ruQMJp7Ol7xW9Dq4_bQq0KLNGjMS43wjsp9vItB447bsLQhys1mfgiCp-kQODI5N3veJIG9b7RCqlvpheazeyTSkOLWHqDRP38/s1600-h/IMG_1973.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286803239498901506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgalMzwDe5cj7QKJASC7AQXWxsN_9dfwvSolzkYYBPM0ruQMJp7Ol7xW9Dq4_bQq0KLNGjMS43wjsp9vItB447bsLQhys1mfgiCp-kQODI5N3veJIG9b7RCqlvpheazeyTSkOLWHqDRP38/s400/IMG_1973.JPG" border="0" /></a> Now Clairey (Nothing Will Go Wrong) the below pics are for you.
