Addiction: To claim to give up something but then sneak it at every chance you get!

Addiction- Without a doubt I have an addictive personality, I have utterly no willpower and once hooked on something thats it. Now i'm not talking bad things (raised as a good girl don't you know) so NO drugs, NO cigarettes, didn't use to swear now only do it when shouting and driving hmmmm and drink whenever I can but not an addiction otherwise i'd be foaming at the mouth at the moment as my medications state AVOID alcohol! 
So what are my addiction, obviously as you all know I've been off work a fair while now and can't get out much I am queen of the pyjama look (poor hubby) so i'm on Facebook a lot not necessary always updating statuses etc etc but ............................................. playing these dreaded games on there (they actually help with the pain relief until I hit my wrist pain and then the games have to wait) but I seriously love them unless I can't get to the next level and then I get all competitive and getting angry with the screen.

CANDY CRUSH the game of many many levels or so i've been told, i'm stuck on Level 53 and will be for many a day at the moment chocolate keeps appearing and my reactions are a bit slow now so a timing part of the game is not ideal for me (lol), hence also why I can write my blog as i'd be playing otherwise and

PET RESCUE the game in which you rescue several pets from the blocks, easier on my wrist as I only need to press things with the one finger but once again stuck but hope to be on the next level. I am surprised to say i'm not the only one with this wee addiction as it seems that most of my FB friends are also in the same position. What did we do pre FB.Which brings me to the point about kids what sort of a punishment is sending them to their rooms now?????????

My next addiction whilst obviously parked on my bum is.......................housewives of.............
So i've started watching Housewives of Orange County and Housewives of Beverly Hills and I am hooked. They have both just finished and hold on while I scroll to see next weeks TV.........................................................................................Ok Monday looked good with both series still showing, they go back to back on ITV2, Tuesday just Beverly Hills is on and then Wednesday Atlanta. MMM a new set of women. So what is the Housewives if the title isn't obviously enough, its a reality documentary show about the lives of Housewives in an area. Apparently as i've only listed 3, there are Housewives of ....................OC, Beverly Hills (watched and waiting for next season) Atlanta (starting Wednesday) New York and New Jersey.
Housewives of OC

The Brunette at the back was Fallon on Dynasty.
The housewives of Beverly Hills

Ok where to start with this lot, lots of trivia
Dana - no nothing sorry
Brandi - model was married to Cole from Sunset Beach (remeber that??) until he went off with Leann Rimes.
Taylor - alleged abuse from husband who took his own life during season 2 (which i've just finished watching, not him taking his life but the season)
Adrienne - me and hubby (yes i've sucked him in) call them the bickertons and they are sooooooooo funnt to watch but hubby has given me a spoiler but looking them up (whilst he was at work tut tu) to tell me they had seperated :(.
Lisa - English bird - tres rich - played a starring part in "poison arrow" ABC will look it up on youtube.
Kyle and Kim - aunts to Paris and Nicky Hilton and child stars in their own right "escape to witch mountain" "little house on the prairie" etc etc
Camille - former playboy bummy and ex wife of Kelsey Grammer she was being filmed during the 1st season when he sent text saying he wanted a divorce. Nice!
You can see which series I like the best.
Now the rest I know nothing about and when I was googling info for my blog I came across the Atlanta housewives on the Ellen show.........................................can't wait to see them!!
and my last and final addiction (other than my obvious family and friends)
Which thanks to my friend (she knows who she is) I have managed to eat all 3 that she gave me the other day whilst writing this blog (good job hubby is at work or i'd have had to share).
Luckily for me and my fattening addiction they aren't here for much longer.
Well must go as my wrists hurt and it takes me a lot longer than you'd imagine to write my blog as i've come over all dyslexic and my words end up in a jumble and this is happening more and more.
TTFN!!!

A quiet house is a dangerous house!

Can you hear water???? Listen carefully ...............................................

We moved into out property in September last year a mere 5 months ago and our little monster has decorated each and every spare piece of wall he could find. Last Monday came the dreaded phone call from the agents "Can we do a house visit?" aaaargh!! Arranged for Friday morning, hubby had to work really hard repainting all of Picasso's drawings! Now let it be said that we have heard , you're too soft we him, you need to have him on the naughty step, hide all the pens (something he does really really well) blah blah blah. I won't smack him, in fact I refuse to but when I shout at him he just comes over to me with his gooey eyes and smothers me in kisses. Seriously I know i'm soft but who could resist???? Anyway it was a mad rush but the walls got painted matched the colour perfectly, well not hard when all the walls are magnolia I think all landlords buy magnolia in bulk supply. and waited for the agent. Visit when really well Picasso was on his best behaviour (for once) showing the lady into his bedroom by the hand (at his age its shocking) . She took pictures, I always get scared by this as being an estate agent before years ago and for years I know the best way to market a property it to have someone in the house and someone that is looking after the property. Please please don't make us move................cunning plan needed to thawt off prospective buyers  for once I feel settled, having lived here before its probably not hard but aaargh hate renting and never knowing how long for :(.
So she came, she went and then hubby went of to work, and then it was quiet............................ and yet why???
and then the sound of running taps but so load as if on top of you!!!


Those are actual pictures from our living room wall and the hallway wall!
Upstairs it looked like a scene from titanic 
So ALL of our towels were used all dealing with the flood, my boys (not little man) were great helping deal with this frantic woman who can't do a lot for herself let alone deal with a flood.
Hubby came home to a dry house and as if nothing happened.
Yesterday hubby went to work again (are you seeing a theme here we all know who wears the trousers in this household then lol)
Picasso was very good for most of the day, had a late nap then woke found his secret stash of pens ................... where!!!!!!!!!
and I just heard my older boy shouting "HARVEY you are soooooooooooo naughty" Oh NO
EVERY wall and i'm not kidding (except the living room because I was in there) every wall he had drawn on artistically hmmmm he redrew on, and seriously i'm not joking because every inch that was painted on has been covered in pen!!
Hubby sent a text just at that moment asking if he was behaving (aaaargh).
I'm now calm but today is another day and hubby is (again) at work.

So as I'm still off work (don't worry being all bright and breezy) i've decided as the doctors can't fix me I'll head down the homeopathic / acupunture route with a splash of yoga or belly dancing. Since me and the ladies went to a gosh can't remeber what type of restaurant anyway I did a belly dance with the lady who was dancing professionally and I loved it. Then my friends brought me a wrap with the bells / jingles on and I just want to get going. My belly is the one place that doesn't hurt, might have difficulty doing the hand movements though as my wrists are turned like an old womans!  and if that doesn't work then it'll be yoga to me again this could go horribly wrong think twister!!
TTFN!!
