A bit of news, an award and a tag...

Look at this brilliant picture Annie took of the rabbit!! I love it!! She looks so pretty! So I asked Annie if I could steal it and she said yes!! So I did! (the pic not the rabbit, that would be a bit mean).
It is very hot and sunny here lately... I don't really like the sun and heat all that much but it is cheery! Tomorrow we have been invited to a beach party which will probably take place near one of these chalets! I'm looking forward to it. This picture if one of the ones my lovely friend takes and sells, so if you like it and would like to see more of his work then pop over to this site and have a browse. This is one of L's favourite photos that he has taken!
In other news unfortunately we have two rogue teenagers who have taken a liking to our street and have been having a whale of a time, breaking into peoples yards, tying up their door handles so they can't get out etc. It's very annoying. Especially when they are braying on your door at half one in the morning and won't go away. It's very difficult to get L to go to bed on an evening because she is scared they are coming back. She was also sleepwalking again the other night. I'm not scared it just makes me cross. The police haven't exactly being helpful which is a shame. We know who these two are hanging around with and her mother lives down the street. I had a word with her other day so hopefully it will calm down.. who know. Luckily I have am surrounded by good neighbours and we all look out for each other (no I don't live on Ramsey street!) but it means I have been side tracked. Tonight I really must make something for the two girls who's birthday party it is tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

These are the rules to the tag!

2. Post the rules on your blog.

Okay so six random things about me... hmmm

1. I simply cannot stand whistling in any shape or form. If someone is whistling next to me it drives me nuts. If I happened to have a pencil in my hand whilst they did it, I would seriously consider injuring them. I also cannot stand people rattling crisp packets and I would always make the kids tip their crisps into a bowl instead of eating them out of the packet.

2. I had an operation just before I was one, for pyloric stenosis, the doctor wouldn't believe my mum when she said I was projectile vomiting and she had to cover the floor with newspaper every feed time. Pyloric stenosis isn't common in girls. I had to have a operation on my stomach and the small incision was covered over by a small plaster. It scarred and that scar now stretches down my stomach but is faint and part of me so it doesn't bother me.

3. I like writing. I wrote a novel about a new age traveller which I thoroughly enjoyed writing but I never showed anyone. I have written a couple of horror stories a while ago. Now I am about seven chapters into a horror novel. This one I hope to finish and actually do something with! I would also like to have a go at writing a novel based around the 1940's but there are lots of those out already. My Dad is a writer so I guess it is in the genes.

4. I have the weird ability to wriggle secrets out of people without actually knowing I am doing it, or them knowing I am doing it. I have been told many times that I should consider being a counsellor. It is something I looked into and I did go on a course but I got ill (with an underactive thyroid) and had to finish it early because I kept falling asleep in classes. The tutor said it was a shame I had to leave as I was a natural.

5. I used to be into heavy metal when I was young, then glam rock (I crimped my hair every day and back combed it) and then I was a goth/punk kind of gal. I always wore Egyptian style eyeliner, had my nose pierced and always wore black. I don't know what I am now but I still wear a lot of black.

6. I do my own tarot cards and I am quite good at them, although I don't do readings for anyone else. I would love to go and have mine read for me again by a psychic, but the last time the woman told me I would be going to Ibiza with my mates and that I should give up smoking. I didn't smoke at that point, and I have never had any intention of going to Ibiza. That put me off really. I am quite into New age stuff and have been for a long time.
