Updates from the mad house!

Hello beveryody peeps!! I am still here...just! It's been pretty busy and hectic here of late but in a good way. Michael, Tash, big pud, little pud and Astrix the pup have all made themselves at home, big pud has calmed down a bit although he is still a bit nuts. Being nuts however is compulsory of you want to live here! I was normal once...it was the worst 5 minutes of my life! haha!
So what have I been up to? Well quite  a bit really, that's what it feels like......I just tell it in photos!

On Saturday we went to see the All Blacks & England rugby game here in Hamilton...

First we had a drink in The Londoner Pub

Then after a Turkish meal, were multi ethnic that way.. 

we made our way to the stadium and had a drink in the Waikato Supporters club

Sorry dreadful photos from my phone camera...England lost! Not a good week for English sport!

Good job I don't give a rats bottom innit! 

 After nodding off during the second half the game finally ended, 

we had a quick drink in the supporters club again

 Then it was off into town for a bit of a knees up with the young'uns!

And so to today, Sue had arranged to meet up with a fellow blogger and asked if I wanted to tag along too, there was a spot of op shopping to be had afterwards, so how could I refuse! Before we even got out of her house I came away with a bag of goodies, sent down by Sue's sister...

Woven bag and great big chunky necklaces, there was  top too, but not my colour so I'll pass that on to a friend, thank you Helen! 

Sue's blog post is here Make sure you go take a look!!

I'm so glad I went, we met Julie, her blog is My Threadbear life, such a lovely morning at her lovely home, it was to die for, her mum was there knitting, we had tea in spotty cups and banana and bran muffins! Then we had a look around her shed in the garden, a shop that sells her wonderful crafty makes, and other things from crafty friends. I bought this rather cute brooch..

I hope to go back real soon I've promised to teach Julie to crochet.

After dragging ourselves away, it really is a place you could stay all day we went to get in a big of op shopping in Te Awamutu, I didn't get too much as I left my purse at home and Joe had to get me some pocket money so I could go play... here are my few finds..

Two tulip garden thingies, great for putting a glass of something is when sitting in the garden!
