Meet Noodles!

Just popping by to say Hi and to let you know I will have a card to show soon - it was Sam's birthday on Saturday so had a busy and fun weekend. However, forgot to photograph the card I made him so will try to do that soon so I can put it on my blog. In the meantime, I would like to introduce the newest member of our family - Noodles (Sam's choice of name, not mine!).

I think I near enough blinded the poor little fella when I took this photo earlier this evening pmsl! We've already had a couple of mishaps with him since Saturday, one certain Son of mine let him out of his cage on Saturday.....mentioning no names LEWIS! and I learned one vital lesson - don't stand up when holding the hamster because when they try to escape, they bounce off the furniture as they fall!! Seriously, the hamster is fine and wasn't hurt. Sam thinks he so cool and they call him James Bond because of his antics.....personally, I think he's more like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.......


Sorry the photo isn't so good but I turned the flash off just in case I gave him a heart attack....poor little fella has been through alot since moving in with us!!! Basically, he gets up on the roof of his little house and crawls upside down on the roof of his cage and when he gets stuck or too tired to hang on, he just drops!!

I suppose I'd better show a photo of the Birthday Boy.....bless him, he was so excited and had a lovely day....just can't believe my baby is seven!



Anyway, must get to bed now as I've got work in the morning......God, it sounds so good saying that! Will be back soon.

Loving that shot of your hamster Noodles climbing on the roof. Had to show my son Aaron who was so pleased that another hamster does this as well ! He was beginning to think that his hamster "Jimmy" was losing the plot !

Aww, I'd forgotten how cute hamsters are! One of mine escaped through the bars on the first night..! Found it behind the book case nibbling the electrical wires!!
Looks like Sam had a good day and the cake looks delicious!

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!...
