Yep, you all knew it was comming!!!! This is so not my year for appliances!!!!!!!

So for the updated version....

Mircowave.......still out and will be delayed until I have some money!!!!!!

Dishwasher.......finally had enough and has blown it's element!!!!!! Will have to wait!!!! In the meantime it's back to manaul labor and being tied to the kitchen sink!!!!!!!!!

Mobile phone..........battery won't hold it's charge....solution, I'm taking it back again!!!!! The first one I bought had the battery fold over!!!! So i exchanged it for a blue one as I hate pink. This one is less then 6mths old and it's screwed up. So I have no personal mobile, none my friends can reach me unless they have my home mobile no and quite frankly it's damn annoying!!!!

The fridge which I blogged before but cost me $75 for them to tell me there was nothing wrong with it!!!!!! What waste of limited finances specially right before  christmas.

On the upside I may be able use some of our puppy money to get these items fixed.........but we do have to pay off the business first!!!!!

So what do you when all your appliances decide to make your life a nightmare............remember that most of these items weren't invented 40yrs ago and be glad that you weren't born in the 18th century!!!!!!!!!!

who will be tied to the kitchen sink for the next 2hrs washing every cup and utensil because the kids have never heard of rinse and reuse!!!!!!!!

I'm rather annoyed that someone reported my lastest advice!!!!!!! It was not inappropiate nor does it promote cruelty to animals but reflects the the pack life of the dogs and helps ppl train their dogs in way that reflects pack life. The puppy becomes apart of the family pack!!!!! Why on earth would anyone do this? If you have a problem with me, then please discuss it with me rather than take out on my good advice which is based on proven techniques by someone who is an expert in this field.

Well, they are now a week and 2 days old! Their eyes are beginning to open and their getting noisy!!!!! Occassionally you hear a little growl or a little yip like bark. It is so cute!!!!

I'm still looking for the camera cord so I can upload the photo's.....it's always in the last place you look!!!!!

The puppies will be ready to go to new homes from the 12 of December (6 weeks) as long as they get puppy milk for the last 2wks! Otherwise it will be the 28 of December........when we are on holidays!!!! Talk about timing! Anyway we have 3 girls and 2 boys......and if you didn't read the previous blog their purebred beagles. We are still deciding price as there are no beagle pups being sold in SA at the moment, so we maybe able to charge a little more but will see as we get closer to point of sale......it will be a sad time but also a happy one as the puppies new owners share the joy of owning and having a beagle as a part of their family. They are quirky dogs and do have some bad habits, digging, jumping all in the name of a great escape! So always have your beagle mircochipped!!!!!

On the otherside of things......I paid $75 for the fridge guy to tell me there is nothing wrong with my fridge!!!!!!! My mirco is still unusable and my dishwasher is stilling playing up!!!!!

My family are all well (the kids) and life is generally good providing I stay away from my side of the family!!!!!!!! It really makes you laugh!!!!

So today like many days will be devoted to housework and exercise......I've lost 7kg so far, I have a total of 56 kg to lose so thats only another 49kgs to go!!!!! As long as I lose around kilo a week I'm happy! I'm almost into my old size 16 clothes....which is so exciting to me. I have some great clothes I bought when I lost weight last time, plus I've bought some new pieces to help me get motivated. So I'm really excited.

Cheers Raven!

A couple of minutes ago the first puppy was born. Mum did well, alittle confused but she knew what to do! In 20mins we should have the next puppy!!

The first one is quite dark and definately a tri colour (beagle)!

So I'm up for a busy day!!!!!!

Cheers Raven
