Yesterday was the first day of our two-weeks off work. We’d initially booked these weeks off to go travelling in Thailand – but as always, life doesn’t quite go to plan sometimes. The money allocated to travelling became a security blanket for all…

This is the smallest of two bedrooms and when I say small.. I mean small. You’d actually struggle to comfortably fit a bed and anything else in here! The ‘bed’ made-up is actually a blow-up mattress. If you’ve ever slept on these, you’ll know…

Today is Monday. Monday is when people go back to work after a fabulous weekend off… Monday is the day my solicitor-chasing job begins again. This makes me stressed and angry and frustrated and I’m still no closer to answers on WHAT THE…

The last two weeks have been pretty jam-packed in the puppy world. Doug had his final jabs, discovered the outside world and also we had our first (and hopefully last!) item loss due to his teething/chewing phase. Unfortunately this was some of Grants uber sexy and expensive…

Before & After When we were choosing the finish of our kitchen floor, I didn’t really think about the consequences of using white grout. We chose it because we thought it would bring out the black tiles, which it did. But I didn’t…

I think I’m going to continue this puppy progress diary until 16weeks(?) with 2 weeks at a time. Then maybe I’ll do monthly or two-monthly updates. In the last 2 weeks Doug has learnt to climb stairs.. He could only go up the first 3 at…

He’s getting so big he’s almost dog-size! Feeling slightly nostalgic at his puppyness even though it was only a few weeks ago! He still has a fair way to go until he’s full size, but he’s sure getting there swiftly. I remember saying to Grant…

This weekend was what I call FAT-WEEKEND. Where eating twice the amount of daily calories is not only normal but required. We each chose our own Easter Egg and then bought a few smaller bits to share, although Grant did surprise me with a few…

7 weeks Since puppies grow so faaast, I’ve tried to take as many pictures as possible to capture his growth. At 6 weeks he… Spent 90% of the day sleeping. And could literally fall asleep anywhere. He was so small he could walk underneath our…
