the happy little world of miss ktp!

I hope you all have a lovely day We're enjoying some well deserved time off! Whoop! Muchos love Ttfnx 

We had our 9 lessons & carols at church tonight, as well as reading I was dragged into the choir to warble along the descents with the best of them! After a shaky start I made sure I let it rip on "O Come All Ye Faithful!" I love this time of year! Ttfnx 

Well hello Christmas....where did you spring from?! I swear 2015 has only lasted about 3 months....but hey...it's that time of year again....the tree's up....the lights are on....the candle's lit....the tinsel is sparkling  (& smelling amazing - seriously, why does it smell so good?!) & Tommy's rocking his special outfit. We've already been out for one Christmas party & here's to many, many more. Can't wait to celebrate it as a little family of 3 this year! Ttfnx 

Last week I took a day off work for a "life admin day" It consisted of Dr's....vets....McDs Festive Menu....Kindle reading....muddy walks in the woods....Christmas card wrapping & writing....Hollyoaks watching...lots of tea drinking....bliss Ttfnx

To not watch Dr Who before bed?! Eeep! Ttfnx

Of someone who is very glad it's the weekend! A few shots later....Didn't go into a bar that I had to pay £6 for seeing as I had to leave after 10min (sorry Nat!)....now I can't wait for my bed....mortgage meeting tomorrow....then Michelle & Matt are coming for the weekend...bring it on! Ttfnx

Then I realised it proved how I was feeling even more! Someone please being my bed to me! Ttfnx x

Yesterday Tommy had is induction for Doggy Daycare. Whenever it was my first day at a new school mum&dad would take a photo of me by the front door ready to go so I couldn't resist carrying on the tradition with Tommy Dog! I wrote more about this tradition HERE look at that little snaggle tooth! Love him! I dropped of a very nervous looking puppy dog & picked up a rather hyped doggy who seems to have had an ace time. He made a new friends, including one dog that was twice his size & I was told that if he didn't want to play with a certain dog he'd just ignore them until they walked away...such a snob! I must confess to blubbing a bit when I said bye to him & he whimpered. It was like I'd dropped my first born off at school for the first time! I'm such a wimp. Anyway so here's to many more fun play dates at Doggy Daycare....well as many as the bank balance will allow! Ttfnx

This is far from a complaint though, rude staff, peeling paint & a dead princess. Dismaland was everything I'd hoped for & more. We were lucky enough to get tickets for Banksy's latest event & at £5 we couldn't go wrong.   A few weeks ago we drove to Weston-super-Mare clutching our tickets ready & raring to go. The weather was perfect - drizzly rain & grey clouds, until the sun came out & ruined everything!  We were ushered through a hand-drawn security area where grumpy guards rushed us through & then suddenly we were there - Dismaland. It was hard to know where to go to first so we headed to the gift shop where a miserable assistant told us off because it was "Exit through the giftshop" a nice little nod to Banksy. We stopped off at the Pocket Money Loans shop before going into Cinderella's dilapidated castle to see her carriage had crashed with paparazzi all around her, we watched an updated & bit disturbing (it alw...

Last month I turned the grand old age of 31. I dragged the celebrations on for as long as possible & was treated to lots of surprises. Yay! Ruddy love a good surprise! As you can see from Tommy's face he was as excited as I was! WORK BIRTHDAY: My usual wander to my desk turned into a game of limbo thanks to Anna & my table was covered in little photos of Tommy & Disney Princess glitter! We went out for a celebratory Byron that night, Prosecco (once they'd quickly dusted off the emergency bottle, chilled it in the freezer & borrowed glasses from Zizzi!) followed by a Beaver Town & a Fredder Dawg (yum!) BIRTHDAY SURPRISE DAY 1 I had no idea where we were going & ended up pulling up outside Art's parents home near Oxford (they were away & Art & Sam came out to greet us :)). Saturday was spent on an unexpected pub crawl - I love the way the smallest villages have the most pubs!  Each time we tried to go back home we spotted ...

I'm being taken out for a surprise for my birthday today whoop! Thankfully it's a bonus I'm not very with it today...all those 1/3 pints I had at the Great British Beer Festival last night soon added up! Who'd've thunk it?! Excuse me while I stick my head out of the car window & blast away the hangover! Yoink! Ttfnx

The inner geek in me couldn't resist popping outside tonight to see if I could spot any shooting stars & after half an hour if already seen 5, two of them were really bright! Adam & sat there on our garden seats nattering away & watching the night sky. Hope you all manage to spot one or two & don't forget to make a wish! Ttfnx

Best. Album. Name. Ever thanks to the awesome Frank Turner! I love it when a new album comes out that I've waited for ages for, it's making this looong Friday go a hell of a lot quicker & it's flying by while I sit here with a smile on my face!   We were lucky enough to see Mr Turner last night in Kingston for his album launch gig - didn't get home till 2am so the 6am alarm this morning wasn't exactly welcome but hey.....that's the price you pay for fun!

A day in the life of Tommy Dog… 1. Emerge when I'm ready. Usually I'm too tired to get up on a weekday morning but when it's the weekend I can't possibly lie in 2 + 3. Go f or a walk in the sunshine & make some new friends. One of them didn't want me to go so walked the length of the field with us, I'm sure I'll visit them again soon. 4. Flake out from the heat & get carried home before crashing on my pillow in the lounge to snore the afternoon away. Bliss Ttfn & snorts from Tommy x

Filling in a new Filofax with Tommy cuddles. Best. Night. Ever! Ttfn x

Last night Adam & I had a date night to see "Amy" at the Electric Cinema on Portobello Road. EmHen had very kindly bought me vouchers for my birthday last year & I realised I'd never got round to using them. Well it was worth the wait....we walked in & had an instant 'wow' moment. There was a bar where everyone was mingling on the right, sofas to the left, rows of armchairs then the front row was made up of beds. We had booked 2 armchairs which we sank into with a small table & light between us. Each seat had its own padded foot rest that opened up to reveal a cashmere blanket! The film was amazing. If you haven't seen it yet I'd really recommend it...but take tissues! Yes we all know the ending but her story is really touching. So what with the Elextric Cinema & the Odessy in St Albans I look forward to watching films in a much more luxurious atmosphere going forward & will hopefully never have to step into a Vue or Cineworld again...

I've got another chance to sit & do nothing - this time at the hairdressers. Huzzah! The only place where you can chill out & switch off & come out looking better than when you started! Trouble is though I can't upload this fascinating post until I get home to a wifi area because thanks to my rubbish contract yet again I've run out of data. I'm due an upgrade but just can't decide between phones & I'm not sure these stubby little monkey fingers will cope with the vast expanse of screen that is an iPhone 6!  Anyway gotta go my Kindle's calling.
