A waiting game...

It's Ethan's 3rd birthday today :) (3....already!!), still no sign of him growing up just yet though lol. Squirrel was also 1 on Friday...not the baby any more, although she has always been very grown up!

Not much happening this weekend. My first weekend off for weeks and one of many to come over the next couple of months as we take a break from competing for a while. With puppies due and a house move to organise all showing and competing has been put on hold.
Had a quiet day on Saturday, went up to the new house in the morning to start assessing what work we need to do before we can move in (quite a lot!). Mum and I went for a walk with my gran and cousin Amy in the afternoon. We just took the four cockers...Teal, Drake and their son Floyd who is back with us for the time being 'til we find him the new perfect home (will get some piccies on here when I get round to taking some!) along with Amy's Radley who is Floyd's sister...a real family outing, gatecrashed by Squirrel, my PRT...basically all the non collies! I think it's safe to say that Radley and Floyd have taken a lot from their dad as the three of them were tearing through the woods at 100mph (a mad blur of black and tan!!) while mum Teal just trotted at my heel carrying her tennis ball! lol Squirrel did what parsons do and just ran about doing her own thing...she is very independant! (but has a lovely recall!). This walk took a lot longer than we'd anticpated so it was practically dark by the time we got the collies on the beach for a good 'energy burning' blast! Gemma came up for tea and we had a TV indulgant evening of Strictly and X-factor, have to say...the Strictly climax was a bit of a damp squib when they decided note to vote anyone off, especially compared with the high drama of X-factor! All I can say is that Camilla got extremely lucky, the Jive gamble definitely didn't pay off so lets hope she doesn't cock it up again given this second chance!

Sunday we dug out the rest of the christmas decs (apart from the mini tree that usually goes in the kitchen but I can't find anywhere! lol) so the house is looking very festive now, can't believe it's only 10 days to Christmas though, don't feel at all christmassy! We then decided to start clearing my bedroom and packing stuff up (gotta start somewhere)...3 bin liners later (!!!) and we were knee deep in stuff all over the place so I never got round to going to visit Norman's pups as planned. Will pop to see them in the New Year before they leave.

Vicki was at LKA with Diesel and Inca on Saturday, Diesel won his class (yay...go Diesel!!) and Inca was 2nd in hers.

So that's it really, just waiting for things now...waiting for christmas, waiting for pups, (waiting for Faith to come in season!) and waiting to move! I hate waiting!! (Patience may be a virtue but it isn't one I possess!) lol

Belated happy birthday to Eth.

We've still not got any of our decs up, lol.

When are you due to move?

Nat said...

Hoping for 1st Feb which feels like ages off but with everything we've got to do in between will probably fly by!! lol

There is nothing worse than waiting to move house! Are you moving far??

We have no decs up yet - must get into the festive spirit!!

Nat said...

Nope, moving less than 5 miles from where we are now but closer to the M6 (and work!) which is better.

I order you to go and put up some twinkly christmas lights right now!! lol It's so grey and dreary at the moment I think everywhere needs brightening up! :)
