Death by Labrador

It`s been so long since my last update, so much has happened I can even begin to know where to start. Ok then I`ll fill you in on some stuff, we have bought a house - it`s not posh but it`s a home - our home, It needs a bit of tlc (and quite a bit of paint). After picking up the keys I`d went round to my mates and we whiled away a few hours sitting in her pool having a natter while the kids played about. She has a labrador puppy and he`s going to be a big boy (he`s big boned with feet like dinner plates) It was whilst swimming around that Winston (the puppy, not the former PrimeMinister) decided to launch himself into the pool - unfortunately he missed the pool completely and landed on my head, practically knocking me unconcious and half drowning me. Thankfully I didn`t actually get knocked out cos my mate would have been no bloody help, as she was too busy trying to breathe whilst rolling on the floor laughing - it would have served her right if I`d drowned you know - try explaining that one to the police!! " So Madam, you say your friend was drowned in your pool by your puppy?? Hmmm a likely story, please accompany me to the police station"  Oh well I got my own back last week when the dog was dragged to vets to say goodbye to his 2 veg (Winston if you are reading this mate - cos I know what a smart dog you are - all I can say is habloodyhar)

Having our home is great - it`s been about 10 or 11 yrs since we last owned our place I can paint it any colour I bloody well want (apart from Magnolia as Im sick of Magnolia - it should be banned!!) I find myself with a load of pink paint left over from decorating our daughters bedroom and Im seriously considering using it to paint the main bathroom !! Hahah!! Yes a pink bathroom just because I can , just because it`s not bloody Magnolia and if I don`t like it I will paint it something else so there!! Well that`s all for now I guess, so Im off to lie down in a darkened room.

Oh I nearly forgot I have a job interview on Wednesday morning, so send me some good luck vibes (I need all the help I can get).

I am sending you bags of positive vibes for your job.
Our bedroom is magnolia - landlords choice, I want to smear cat poo on it to change the colour.

See you in 3 1/2 weeks!

Having just picked myself up off the floor (again) after reading this, thought i'd best apologise (again) for Winstons attempt at drowning you, it was bloody funny though, good luck with the interview-it'll be a breeze.
