Cat bed - DONE!

So here it is. Coco and Chaz now have somewhere comfy to take a nap. As Coco and Chaz are both female felines, I thought I'd better add some pink to make it a bit more girlie. 

I hope to do a tutorial for this tomorrow. It will be my first ever one (of many hopefully), so be patient with me!

Cat naps

Poor Coco and Chaz don't have a cat bed at the moment and I have been thinking that when I have some spare cash I will buy them one. Then the thought suddenly occurred to me that I could use my own skills to make them a bed/cushion at a fraction of the cost of a shop bought one. So tonight, once L is fast asleep, I will set about making a cat bed/cushion out of some blue velvet remnants that I recently acquired.

Aerial Extreme

M was given a voucher for Christmas to go to Aerial Extreme and he finally got round to going yesterday. We have both done it before although, I passed out from heat exhaustion right near the end so never got to complete it. I think we both found this time round much more enjoyable; M up in the air with his mates and me firmly on the floor with the camera.

There are 3 levels and M went for the middle one. I was amazed at the amount of children braving the heady heights of the top course and they got such a sense of achievement out of doing it. I would definitely recommend it to those of you with children who are a little older. All the staff were super friendly. They offered lots of encouragement and helped those who were a little nervous.

It can be a little pricey so I would try and make a day of it, however it is a wonderful opportunity for your little monkey to be little monkey!

Voucher day!

Today we are having a cheap day! I'm having my hair done for cheapcheap via a Groupon Voucher (www.Groupon.com) and later M will be finally using his Christmas voucher to go on a high wire adventure (www.aerialextreme.co.uk). Unfortunately there is a lot of watching and waiting for L today, so M has taken her to the park to tire her out. Hopefully we will have some pictures to show you later, including one of my new hair if I'm happy with it ;).
