Charlie sometimes gets called Charleston, i dont know why! Alfie somtimes has the name Alfredo! Haha.

Meet my babies and the new addition!

Today i thought i would introduce you to my kiddies, Willow, Lily and Ozzy (yes thats his real name, not short for anything!) Willow is 6, Lily 2 and Ozzy 17 weeks.

Ozzy

Left to right- Willow, Lily and my nephew Harvey.

In other news, we have a new puppy! Both me and my dog Charlie were missing Eddie so we decided to get a springer spaniel pup, he's 9 weeks old and so hyper! Hes into everything and such hard work. I dont mind though, hes so cute and such a bundle of fun. Its really hard to get a decent photo of him as hes always running around!

Meet Alfie...

Looking abit scared in the car on the way home

Having a kip after his busy day

I was abit worried that it might feel as if we have replaced Eddie at first, and maybe it seems that way a little but we're not. No dog could ever take the place in my heart that Eddie had. Charlie was pining after him, wasnt eating, not his usual self and i was in bits. It made me feel so bad that Charlie had lost his best friend. Im keeping in contact with Eddies new family, they said hes settled in fine and doing great. Im so glad its all turned out okay, the last thing i wanted was for him to end up in a dogs home.

Oh yes, nearly forgot... I came home today to find a DHL failed delivery notice. The only parcel that i think it could be is my Louboutins! Im so gutted i wasnt in, they are being re-delivered tomorrow though so watch out for my post on them :-)

Rant... New Look and families

Im annoyed!

I ordered some 'mock suspender tights' from New Look on Sunday afternoon and chose next day delivery. I still haven't had my order! I emailed them on Monday night and havent had a reply yet. Disgraceful! I have just come off the phone to them (i was on hold for ten minutes) and apparantly they tried to deliver on Tuesday and couldnt find the house! I had no phonecall from them to tell me there was a problem or anything! So if i hadnt called i would never have gotten my tights. And tuesday?! Excuse me? I ordered on SUNDAY, next day delivery, that would make it a Monday they should be delivered, not bloomin Tuesday! The man on the phone was very apologetic and has refunded me my postage. He assured me my order would be here tomorrow, we shall see!

I havent mentioned this next topic before but i will explain briefly the situation between me and my husbands family...
We do not get on. I have never liked my husbands step dad, i find him sexist, rude, chauvanistic and a bully. We have had numerous arguments in the past over him caling me fat and being a general ar$e to me. Gradually things escalated to the point where his stepdad sent a private message to my husband slagging me off, making out im a liar, trying to convince him to leave me. Eventually things settled down and i tolerated this horrible mans behaviour for the sake of my husband. Until recently that is... He has made it quite obvious he doesnt like my eldest daughter (who is not my husbands, shes from a previous relationship). My youngest daughter is favourtised immensley by them and it hurts me so much. A few months ago my father in law offered my girls two smurf toys, he handed one to my youngest lily then threw willows toy behind him, on the floor and said 'theres yours' in a nasty tone. I was understandably shocked but didnt say anything at the time as i didnt want to cause a scene. It played on my mind however, so i sent a civilised text to my mother inlaw telling her how it made me feel. To cut a long story short (i can feel myself waffling here, sorry) my father inlaw caused a huge arguement, bad things were said, terrible lies were told (by him not me) and it all went totally OTT. We havent spoken since. My husband has had arguments with them over the phone but nothing has been resolved. Everyone on my father inlaws family think what he did was perfectly fine. I am still fuming now. How is it ok to treat a 6 year old like a dog?
A week after this had all happened my father inlaw recieved a threatening text from a number he doesnt know. It wasnt from me but i have got the blame. Hes going around telling everyone it is me. I only found this out yesterday. My husband spoke to his mum in private and she basically tried to convince him it was me and that all that had happened was my fault. I was so mad, how dare she try and turn my husband against me!

I am sick to death of his family and cant wait to see the back of them. One thing i cant stand is lies.

Sorry for the long rant, needed to get it off my chest.
