Happy House-Day Jazz

My two boys at the vet. We've had Jazz 1 year now so he was at the vet for his yearly check-up. If you look super close, you can see his wee white bits through the bars of the box!

Bring a Blog to Work Day

Ok so maybe the concept of "Bring a Blog to Work Day" isn't strictly official but if you can bring a child, a pet, a friend or whatever... why not bring a blog?
Anyway, here's my office. That's right, my very own office! It's right behind our main reception (which you can see through the blinds.)
See how much work is on my desk???
~ The telecoms file ('cos we're trying to change company and save money)
~ Investors In People (IIP) stuff 'cos that's my new project and we're due to get granted re-accreditation in March.
~ Lots of case stats to make sure the Legal Officers are reaching their targets!
~ A few personal things... Volvic, my mug, Barbados photo calendar...

Ok now it's time for you to leave so I can get back to work! ;o)

For the past 2 weeks we've been having the WORST drain problems ever!!! You empty the bath ~ it floods the kitchen... you wash the dishes ~ the sink drains into the washing machine... you put the washing machine on ~ it totally fills the kitchen sink lol.
So we called for help and it was Mr Drain Klear to the rescue! :oD

Bunny in the Microwave

The spare room at Mum and Dad's is freezing and when Mittens isn't there to sleep on your feet and keep you cozy, you gotta rely on Hot Bunny lol. 2 minutes in the microwave and he keeps you warm for hours!

Shortbread

I took this photo with Charmine in mind. Girl, I know how much you LOVE Scottish Shortbread and I figured this is more than you'll ever see in your lifetime lol.

Btw I'd recommend you don't look at this full-size 'cos it's blurry (I was trying to be fast and discreet) and makes your eyes do funny things lol.

Ocean Terminal

You all know how much I love to shop, and usually it's in cold, wet, windy Glasgow. The past couple of days though, I've been in Edinburgh training. Ocean Terminal shopping centre is right by the Executive so I hit the shops in my lunch.
Oh, and I used to work here in the Royal Yacht Britannia visitor centre! The royal yacht is berthed just behind this building.

Jazz's Cupboard

He's the smallest member of our family but seems to have the most stuff! This is the inside of Jazz's cupboard in the kitchen. Three big tubs of dried food, treats, bowls, forks, and more packets of food than he knows what to do with lol. Can't have him getting bored now, can we? :o)
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the wolf cookie jar has some treats in it. When you open it the wolf howls and he runs to it! So cute!!!

My Wonderful Husband

When I was on Flickr uploading a load of photos, I discovered a wonderful concept which I'd never really thought about experimenting with, but today I did! And here's the end result!! I LOVE IT!!!!! :o)
Derek loves the kitchen - it's "his" room - and I think this shot shows beautifully how he can do three things at once! ;o) So any requests?

Saturday 6 January 2007

Fancy a Cuppa?

How's this for random?? Hahaha. Our favourite mugs. :o) Mine, a Starbucks one naturally *lol*, that Alison bought me. Derek's one, a Disneyand Paris one I bought him a few years ago on holiday.

Bright and Colourful

On my way into work this morning I was trying to decide what to post as today's photo. It was pouring with rain and I wasn't in the mood at all, but when I got into work it hit me. The bright colours of my shoes, bag and scarf made my office glow! So I thought I'd share! :o)

The Disney Shelves

Here we have two shelves in our dining room. They're very festive at the moment with the gold beads, starry candles and glittery trees. And yes, before you ask, I stuck them on one by one with blu-tak! Lol.
The wooden tulips are from Amsterdam and in a champagne bottle given to us by my Mum and Dad on our engagement. You're not seeing things - the clock does have Mickey Mouse ears lol. We got a little carried away on Honeymoon hahaha. The frame and shell mouse are from Barbados (that's Derek and Madaijah in the photo!) and finally that's a cheesy pic of us in Florida at the far end. :o)
