A Cleaning Frenzy...

Well the last couple of days has been a bit slow with me being attached to the computer as usual and actually not feeling 100% as well... I had a tummy virus that knocked me flat for a whole day and it has really taken another three days to get over it... I just started to feel like doing something today, (well something physical that is, I always feel like being on the computer)... My eldest and her hubby and baby are coming to stay over night so I really needed to clean up the house a bit...
So I have swept and steam mopped all the floors, cleaned the showers and the toilets, tidied the kitchen and made an 'attempt' at cleaning the cupboard doors. I did, however, clean the oven. I managed to avoid looking at the windows and if I can't see them I don't have to clean them...
All the while I have been potty training the puppy... now that is hard work! I am getting better at reading what she wants now and have not had that many accidents... also after reading some web sites dedicated to maltese puppies I have been able to put some useful ideas into practice...Ooops I think it is time to go for another potty break so I must off and see to that immediately...

My puppy...

...so I almost forgot about the puppy, my Wendy (shake-n-dog), here is a photo of her...we were having a little outside time after going out for pp and she found a pine cone that had been mangled by the mower (not so sharp anymore) and had a good chew. She is a tiny little thing only 9 weeks old. It is hard work having a puppy! All the potty training etc. I am exhausted already and we have only had her for 6 days!

How do I?

So now I am getting the hang of this blogging thing, A question... how do I make the sides of my blog look pretty... I see other blogs with patterns and pretty things that scroll down the sides... and I can't seem to see where I can do that... Help please!!

Such fun...

I have had such fun making this blog... I still really don't know what I am doing, but, some things worked and others didn't... I am supposed to be cleanning house this morning and then off to the bank this afternoon... I haven't even eaten breakfast yet and that is very naughty of me... I am a tad hungry now so I must off and get some food into me...DH will be home for lunch soon too! I have a new puppy that I must talk about too! Maltese x. She is adorable. Her name is Wendy (as in - " Wendy's shake n dog $5"... get it?) OOPs starveing now must go.

The beginning...

This is my first post... talk about stating the obvious!...so I will be very brief... don't know what I want to include here but whatever appears is about the best that I can do!
Welcome to my life. Please come back and check out my progress... I am a very slow learner!
