Back to work..

The weekend is done - and still no lotto win - am feeling fed up as everyone I know is going on holiday and we simply cannot afford one - It annoys me as we both work so hard and seem to be getting no where fast - is this just me or is it the same for everyone?

Still at least the weather is holding but last night was so hot in our bedroom that we decided to sleep downstairs on the rug !! The boys are struggling with it too - we only have one walk and we go out quite late when its cooled down a little. Still we have waited a long time for some decent weather so am trying to enjoy it while we can.

Gorgeous Day

The weather is superb today - have been and watched my ten year old nephew at footie training - I took Digger my beddie with me - and was amazed at how well behaved he was. It is definately Drew that sets him off - there were loads of dogs there and usually with the two of them they start pulling and barking but Mr Diggs just lay in the sun and watched the world go by - What a Star! We are now off to the cafe for breakfast cum lunch and then I am going to tackle the jungle of a garden and catch some rays - perfect start to the weekend!

Still need to pick up that camera though!

Looking to the Weekend...

Phew its almost here - am quite tired today and have some reports to write and the house to clean and then out tonight possibly will have a game of Poker. Am also going to try and get a new camera so I can take some pics. We are hoping to go to a championship show at Leeds on Sunday and catch up with some of my bedlington friends we are thinking about taking the boys so baths all round tomorrow - my dogs can not be shown but we don't want them being outsmarted do we! I also need to spend a bit more time on my blog as its a little basic and I still have my cable socks to finish for my nans birthday - its all go at the moment so back soon !

Sunshine

At last - have woke up this morning and the weather is warm and the sun is shining. I always feel better when the weather is good and it makes me want to be kind to myself. Have been needing to lose some weight for a while but put it off - too busy, too tired, no motivation but have decided I am going back on my weight watchers plan on Monday! Food is always an issue for me and I am typically a yo-yo weight gain/weight loss person. But since taking a new job where I am sat down a lot and the boys arthritis meaning less exercise for me I have put on a horrible stone and a half!!!

So Monday is the day I have chosen to begin - I will eat properly I have set myself an achievable exercise plan healthier living here I come. Oh and if I don't start until Monday - I can have KFC Saturday!!!

Poker Night

Well folks last night was poker night - I play in the Red Tooth Pub Poker League and....... I won! I was very much in need of the points as there is currently a bit of a battle going on for 2nd place between me and my friend Pete. I am not sure yet if I have done enough to secure second place and go to the Regional Final but will keep you posted. I went last season as I won our pub league and had a really great day - I came 28th out of 200 so that was not so bad either but ended up very drunk - am definately not an all day drinker.

Anyway plans for the week so far are ..... waiting for pay day (top priority), needing to go on a diet(will start tomorrow) and must go out and get a new camera so I can add some pics to this blog and spice things up a bit - after all it is called Bedlingtons and Knitting and all I have managed to put up is a pair of the socks I knitted for Gav. Oh well I am still new to this at the moment.

First Day

This is the first day of my Blog - so please bear with me - it is a bit of a work in progress. But if you are a fan of bedlington terriers, knitting, poker and wine then this could be the place for you.... If you are not then it still may be fun so stick with me.

Firstly my dogs... Drew is a 12 year old whippet that we adopted 3 years ago - he is my soul dog - my best friend and looks to me for everything.

Digger is my first Bedlington and is 15 years old we adopted him 2 years ago - and he has me hooked on bedlingtons. He makes me laugh everyday and is simply the most easy going dog I have ever met. He is deaf, has a heart murmur, has only a few teeth, has arthritis, smells and pees up his own legs - but I adore him and will always have a special place in my heart for this dog.
