What the Hell Number 2


It seems that stories such as “Fifty Shades of Grey” are to blame for people in London becoming trapped in handcuffs according to the London Fire Brigade, as in the last 3 years they have been called out to 79 of these emergencies. If that isn't strange enough or embarrassing enough there has been 9 instances of men with rings stuck on their penises…………..what the hell are people thinking

A groom in South Africa set fire to a wedding venue after the place cancelled his reception due to unpaid fees. Jean Greying 28 admitted to starting the fire which burnt down the hall near Bloemfontein.  Seems he thought if he burnt the place down he would not have to pay his bill, so the cake bakers and florist better be warned as they also have not been paid………what the hell was he thinking

An English woman has been charged with grievous bodily harm after allegedly biting off another woman's nose at a holiday camp. The incident is alleged to have taken place in the theatre area at Butlins in Bognor Regis on April 11 when a performance of Jack and the Beanstalk was taking place. 
Tina Love, 27, of Dartford, Kent, has been charged and bailed to appear at Worthing Magistrates Court on August 27. A Sussex Police spokesman said the 47-year-old victim was treated in hospital, "including an attempt to replace a piece of her nose which had allegedly been bitten off".
She has since been discharged from hospital to recuperate. What the hell…………….

A Wedding in the Family


Saturday was the wedding of my beautiful niece Heather to her long time partner Paul. It wasn't a fancy church wedding, instead it was a lovely back yard wedding, held in their own back yard. 

Heather's best friend from the age of 10 was an attendant along with Heather & Paul's two daughters Isabel & Holley. Paul's best man was their young son Lenny aged only 4. Heather looked stunning I liked he dress which I heard she got from City Chic. Lenny looked so cute in suit pants and shirt (no jacket), neither Paul, Lenny or Rex (father of the bride) wore jackets as it was a casual wedding but they all looked pretty smart anyway. 

I went to the wedding alone as Tim had to work and for the most part I had a bloody great time, there was very little in the way of grog there. Paul did bring out a couple of bottles of bubble and 6 pack of beer but that was all there was as neither Paul or Heather drink as a rule.  Anyway let's get back to me, I started to feel rushed a bit when Tim rang and went mad because I hadn't answered my phone. He ended up ring my brother who passed his phone to me to talk to Tim. My phone was in my bag in the bottom of my sisters stroller, me I was wondering around talking to be and watching the kids play and didn't bother to have my bag with me.  Well he wanted to know how long I would be and if I could go and get Leo after I left, I had Jessica ask him to go and get Leo as I had no idea how long I would be at the wedding. I ended up speaking to Jessica and telling her that she would have to take Leo to our place as I wasn't go down to her when I was finished. Yes I knew Tim had been at work all day but I still thought he could had gone and got Leo when he got home.

Moving on there was no reception after the ceremony, it was just everyone sitting or standing around chating and eating the finger food that my niece Kelli had prepared she did all the food for the wedding and have to say she did a bloody good job at it indeed.  There was plenty of food and it was yummy food indeed, I liked the home made meat and cheese pies and the mini cupcakes.

I did kind of wish I had taken Leo with me as he would have had a ball playing with all the other kids in attendance, speaking of grandsons my other grandson Blain was was there and in fact when I saw Blain turn up I got all emotional and started to cry, as it felt like a long time since I had seen him. Blain came with his dad and Kelli and of course his little brother Daemon.

July not as cold as I thought it was...............


At the start of August I saw this on Yahoo’s home page and thought I will save that and use it for a blog post, so here it is. I live in a suburb of Newcastle; Nobbys Head is a beach area in Newie.  

THE Hunter is still basking in the unseasonably sunny winter weather with most of the region experiencing the warmest July on record.

Newcastle, Maitland and Cessnock all trumped previous records by about half a degree and rainfall was at a minimum as well.

Nobbys Head, which has recorded temperatures for 54 years, had a maximum average of 19.3 degrees.
Maitland clocked in at 19.4, Cessnock at 18.8 and Singleton recorded its warmest July in ten years with a 19.3 degree average.

Overnight minimums along the coastal suburbs were also about one degree above average.
Weatherwatch meteorologist said the records could continue to be broken in future years.
‘‘When we’re talking about maximum average temperatures half a degree is actually quite significant,’’ he said.

On July 17 both Newcastle, 23, and Maitland, 24, recorded temperatures six above the average high.
The heat won’t stop there either with the Hunter expecting a few hot August nights to follow the warm July.
‘‘I think we are certainly in a pattern where we’re seeing warmer periods over winter, and that should continue in August and September,’’ Mr. Cornelius said.
‘‘Whether that will continue in summer, it’s too early to say.’’

Rain was also at a minimum during July with most areas in the Hunter only receiving about 50 per cent of average falls.


So even though I was complaining at times about it being cold, over all the month wasn't that cold but don’t get me wrong it was bloody cold some days indeed. July and August are the coldest months of the year were I live.

Thomas the Turtle


Hello everyone my name is Thomas the Turtle and I live at Sydney-May's new day care a couple of weeks ago Sydney-May got to take me home with her for the week and what fun I had at Sydney-May's house.


She has this great house with a indoor play area, she told me that this is a new house for her and that they only moved into just before I came to visit. Anyway I am going to tell you all who read her nanna's blog about my visit, at night “Mickey” who is her sister Summer's daddy but who I heard Sydney-May call daddy too would read us a story before going to bed. I even had my own bed how luck was that.


She also took me to visit her nanna who was nice but I bet you all know that already. We also went swimming which was exciting Sydney-May is a real good swimmer she can swim all by herself without a bubble or anything to help her stay above water. I didn't go into the water as she said it would ruin my fur and that would not be good but I did watch and her are a couple of photos of me with her at the pool. Sydney-May goes swimming every week what a lucky girl she is.


On day while we were out and going home we both got very tired so we both decided to have a little nap in the car, does she look so cute when she is sleeping I saw her mummy take the photo but pretended I didn't.


After my week with Sydney-May I had to go back to the day care so another child could take me home for a visit but I can tell you I loved my stay at Sydney-May's house and her baby sister Summer was good she didn't throw up on me or anything although Sydney-May was pretty careful to keep me to herself most of the time.

It's Saturday afternoon and I am buggered


Yesterday it was my niece Kayla's birthday she is 10 now, above is a photo of her dressed as a princess I don't remember what the occasion was but doesn't she look beautiful.

On Thursday I went to Wakefield school for Dawson's open day, on the day he received and award which was great and he was excited that I took Summer with me and that he his other pop went and took his little brother Landon with him, he loved showing off his little brother and his cousin. Summer was a good girl she didn't cry at all but all in all she didn't have a lot of sleep that day. 

Many members of staff were amazed that Summer is mum's great granddaughter a couple asked mum how many grandchildren she had and were surprised when she said 17 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren of which Summer is the youngest. 

Yesterday while I was at breakfast my sister Sandra & brother in-law Ed were there and I asked Ed if he had a good birthday and he said he did and I asked how old he was and he said 37, Sandra said he was just over a year older then her, she will be 36 in October and I was like what the hell how did she get to be 35.................lol

Today I went with mum to see nan we couldn't go on Wednesday as mum had her pre opp at the hospital and Thursday we went to Dawson's school and Friday is shopping day so it had to be today. Speaking of today I was up early and got the silverside on with the spuds and carrots did them in the slow cooker for lunch the spuds were a little under cooked but tasted ok anyway. 

Oh yeah yesterday I was pretty crook in the afternoon had a really bad headache and had to go and have a nap before tea and then after tea pretty much went straight back to bed, so it was good to get up this morning headache free.
