Jazz Helping with eBay

Here's my guard-cat looking after the eBay parcels to be posted. Pity he's sleeping on the job!

Happy Pay Day

Gotta love when you leave a job and they still send you a back-dated pay rise lol.

My eBay Workstation

Here's where it all happens! My very own little eBay sales counter, post office and dining table all in one *lol*.

Drama at Portland House!

All the info's in the blog post, but here's a photo of the "action"! It wasn't actually that exciting lol, but in the middle of a mundane working day, anything is!

P.S. Pret a Manger in the background is a great place for a fresh sandwich for lunch!

Walking @ Lunch

Today I went out at lunch 'cos I had to get out the office for a bit. As I was walking back, I noticed this massive glass building sticking out of the pretty Glasgow architecture. A modern, contemporary build, or an eye-sore? You decide!

Also, see the restaurant, Bella Italia? That's where Derek and I went out to lunch last week. :o)

Socks Being A Bride

Again, don't ask! Lol. He's Socks and he does whatever he likes, as long as it makes him the funniest kitty in the world! Lol.

Derek Hard at Work

While Derek was out washing the car in the freezing cold, I was staying warm inside with Jazz.

My Angel Lost Her Wings :'o(

It was a sad, sad day in the Reid household today... :'o( I leaned over and knocked my little glass angel by the side of my bed over... and her halo and wings fell off. :'o( She's too delicate to glue back together so now I really want to find a new one! She's holding an emerald stone (by birth stone) and has been happy beside my Lucky Duck for years!

For Charms: Curtains *lol*

Curtains. Simple as that! Lol.

Warm, Cosy Fireplace

Our fireplace in our living room. Mickey Mouse is our pride and joy ~ he's a plate holder lol all the way from Disney World, FL.

On the top we have:

~ a beautiful Wedding photo in a frame from my Grandparents,

~ a cat ornament from my sister,

~ a glass block etched with our Wedding photo from my In-Laws,

~ the clock is a Wedding present from my friend Alison,

~ a 'someone special' glass token from my Mother-in-Law,

~ a gorgeous glass sculpture which we got from Charms for our 1st anniversary,

~ a lovely wee frame with a photo of Holly in it, Derek's God-Daughter.

Happy Valentine's Day! <3

Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day!!!

Two of my Fave Things!

While I was enjoying a drink of one of my favourite smoothies, I was flicking through the paper and saw this ad! Love eBay lol.

Barrhead Train Station

It was a frosty morning today and here's where I was standing waiting on my train. Teensie wee train station and very, very quiet this morning!

My NEW Glasses!!

I got new glasses today, and aren't they fab?!?! Thanks to the designers at Monsoon!! I also got FCUK ones which I'll post a pic of tomorrow. :D

My 2 Best West-Coast Boys

One word..... ADORABLE!

Our Cupboard

A glimpse inside one of our kitchen cupboards... pasta, jelly (which for you non-UK people is the wobbly stuff you have with ice cream not what you put on bread lol.) Also have some maple syrup, Indian and Chinese sauces, baked beans, soup etc.

Bits 'n' Bobs

As you enter our hallway you see these bits 'n' pieces. A Fantasia Mickey Mouse bank from our Honeymoon, a heart-shaped box decorated with shells from Barbados (thanks Charms!!) and three wee ornaments from our holiday in Rome.

Derek's Birthday ~ 3

And here it is, his finished pitch cake. It looked good until we drove it 50 miles to Edinburgh in a car with hot air blowing out the whole way. Oops... melted a little but tasted oh so good!

Derek's Birthday ~ 1

It's Derek's birthday tomorrow, hence the advance warning for loads of Derek pics lol.

The Low-Fat Carrot Cake!!

Well guys, Delia's recipe for low-fat carrot cake worked out! And here's the proof! It's very sweet, very moist, and the cream cheese topping is to die for! :oD Don't take my word for it, you should go make it ~ now! Lol.

My Grandparent's House

So much to look at! But let me draw your eyes to the Wedding photos on the fireplace... and the DCUK called Carol (like my Maisie) in front of the fire! Guess who from!! Hahaha.
