Beware The Death Eater..

My friend Kat started this over on her blog. Then Nikki had a go, then Debie and Mary and not to fill left out, I've done it as well. Stuck my face in the Daily Prophet. To see the girls photo's just click on their names to be taken over to their blogs. To have a go yourself just go to this link Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. We've just watched the documentry called Behind The Magic on ITV about the making of the film. I can't wait to go and see it, it looks amazing.

We've been to another Horse Show today, for the results please pop over to Hericus Blog.

When we got back today, I went out to get the post and there was a parcel from Kat in the post box. Look what she sent me. Lots of bits and pieces for Diagon Alley and my Witches Hat shop, when I finally get it built!!! I'm totally in Love with the Witches hat isn't it beautiful. This is the side view, at the front it has a lovely black beaded buckle. Thank you so much for your kindness Kat. I really appreciate it.. xxxx

As always please go over and say Hi...

On the home front, first I'd like to apologise to everyone who pops in everyday for a daily dose of Tiny Treasures. Real life has sort of got in the way of my Miniatures at the moment. I just haven't had the time to work on anything and what with the Internet Saga, well need I say more?. I'm trying to keep up with everyone else's blogs, again when the Internet lets me, still waiting for the new Router! I have however, been adding new links over on Tiny Treasures Mini Links page, again when I've got a connection. There's lots of new links to blogs over there.
Still no movement with the other Ponies, which is now a saga all by itself, if something doesn't happen soon I think they will explode.
Ben is staying over at Lampeter University for a couple of days with his class, they are working on their Welsh Baccalaureate. Harry got his end of year report yesterday and we are really pleased with how he's progressing, he's settled down and there is a marked improvement on his grades. Well Done Harry, we are really proud of you and all the hard work you've put in this year. xxx
Our Friends are hopefully exchanging contracts to their new home on the 25Th July and will soon be living just five minutes down the road. We are having their Horse Peggy here until they get things sorted at the new place.
And that folks is just about it, off out now for some food shopping.. xxx

Wonderful Surprise

I had a wonderful surprise in the post all the way from New Zealand. Mercedes from Liberty Biberty, sent me a Surprise package. Nestled inside was a couple of little gift bags, sealed with the most tiniest Liberty Biberty stickers. (How did you make those Mercedes?)
Mercedes had included a card with Surprise written across the envelope and when I opened it she'd written. "Dear Debbie, here's something to play with while you're waiting for the foals to arrive. Although they'll probably all have been born by the time you get this! Have Fun! Mercedes"...
On opening the first little bag I found some tiny little bird houses, these will be going into Eeylops Owl Emporium once I start getting it sorted. Then I opened the other little bag and inside are some wonderful little canisters with Potion Labels. I'm thrilled to bits with them. I've already popped them on the shelves in the Apothecary, don't they look great. There was also a two tiny wooden boats, I'm saving these for either my Dolls House or my Mum's Dolls House when I finally get them indoors and unpacked.
Thank you so much Mercedes, your wonderful surprise really brightened my day...xxxx

Quick Update...

Just to let you all know that having spoken to BT again yesterday. They are sending us a new Router within the next 2-3 days as a good will gesture! They still tried to get us to fix the problem over the phone even after the Engineer told them and us the Router we have is faulty... So hopefully very soon, we will have a Internet connection that works without going off intermittently.
A couple of you left comments on the last post saying that you can't see the pictures, I have no idea why as I can and some others can, but you can't..????? I hope it was just a blogger glitch and everyone can see them now. Please let me know if you still can't see them..
On the home front we had our local farmer here yesterday to deliver some straw and hay as we've completely run out and then the Blacksmith all afternoon doing the Ponies hoofs, then another meeting at the Riding School last night to go over all the things that we've managed to arrange for the Medieval Fun Day on 15th August. I'm still making shields to hang all around the fencing, I can honestly say I never want to make another one ever again, I think after the first couple of hundred the Novelty wears off. I found these Heraldry Pictures on my free Dover sampler. Just click on the word Dover, to be taken over to their home page, they have lots of free samplers that can be used in Miniature makes. Thought I'd share them here in case any of you can use them in any of your mini projects. I'm also taking a couple of the Ponies for a Petting Corner and doing "Guess The Weight Of The Pony"! Don't worry I don't have to physically pick them up and weigh them, we use a special tape measure...xx

So Funny....

On the Home front we took our Miniature Shetland Ponies to another Horse Show today, pictures and results over on
Hericus Blog. Still no more babies here. But having spoken to some other people at the show today, we all seem to be having the same problem with their Mares hanging on. One Lady I spoke to is still awaiting the arrival of 27 Foals and there's me worrying over my couple....

I was sent these photographs via an email today... I think they say it all, well it made me laugh.. LOL This is India. Its where you call when you have Technical problems with your computer...

Study these 3 photos closely

Grrrrrrrrrrrr The Frustration...

Since Sunday, I've been without my internet connection, the total frustration trying to get any sense out of the BT help line, is to say the least as much help as a chocolate teapot!

After spending nearly six hours on the phone over a couple of days and me nearly losing the plot and ending up in a nut house, we finally managed to get an Engineer from BT to come out this morning and guess what it's none of the problems they told me it was.. Although I'd already told them about a million times. It is the Router that's got a problem! Not the wireless connection which India kept telling me that we had yesterday. Why in this day and age we don't have help lines in our own Countries is beyond me. What a total waste of Money and the time it takes to sort a problem its no wonder people just give up. I think its totally disgusting.So the very nice Engineer is reporting back that the Router needs changing. But until it comes I'm completely at it's mercy. So if I don't answer your emails don't think I'm ignoring anyone but the internet is so intermittant it just goes off!

It's so FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mujibar was trying to get a job in India

The Personnel Manager said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one.
Unless you pass it you cannot qualify for this job."

Mujibar said, "I am ready"

The manager said, "Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pinkand Green."

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister manager, I am ready"

The manager said, "Go ahead."

Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green , and I pink it up, and say,
'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"



Mujibar now works as a technician at a call centre for BT problems.

No doubt you have spoken to him. I know I have.
