Rosy is leading her astray!! :O




 It seems Rosy is letting little Tatty RD get away with all sorts, not keeping an eye on her!
Oh yes i kid you not! 


See, Duncan, sent a Rodeo Bull from Canada for Rosy's son Joe, well it seems, while left alone in Joe's bedroom, Tatty RD made it her business to go and introduce herself, and look at what this new thingy was .. and then because the Bull told her what he was and what he did .. this is what happened ...

Yep she jumped on his back .. and started shouting "woohooo ride'em cowgirlie" 

Bucking all around on Joe's bed!  now Rosy said when she posted me this piccy, that and i quote "she walked into Joe's bedroom and there was Tatty RD 'riding' the new Bull" all innocent like ... yeah.. if you say soo Rosy.

But see i may ave believed her if it had not been for the next photo she posted .. 
Look at her! flirting with 'Spunky Monkey'!! of all the names to give a monkey .. tsk! 
And again Rosy tried to tell me innocently (she likes to think she is when drinking tea)
"After a bit of bull-riding I then discovered she was with her latest conquest, he is called Spunky Monkey for a very good reason it seems!

Do i look like i was born yesterday? 

I dunno ... you lot are supposed be responsible adults! Did you not sign the bit paper saying, you would look after her, protect her innocence blah blah?


Ohhh noo that was me saying or thinking it .. i am sure i told you all though, which should be good enough! 

I despair i really do .. next thing you know she will be handcuffed somewhere to a bed!!

I will have to pay better attention as to what you are letting her get up to .. watch this space!

A quote after the last blog ...


With the Secret Service hot on Tatty RD back here is what was said about her ....

Because she will NEVER utter a secret, to anyone! .. she is British! and many people know her .. here is what a friend said!

 sealed.. but i know what your saying...she will never udder, i mean utter a sound, well maybe a little whimper, but even with the threat of needle and thread to seal those lips closed.. she will hold up the Brititsh tradition and stand firm. { with help of course } lol...

Thanks Dave! hahah

Washington DC & the Secret Service .... & Lori ..

George Washington Monument DC




Now that is something that strained her neck a little lol  but very impressive!




Next the Whitehouse itself .. yep, standing outside saying she really should be 'Mr President' a little too loud .. sort of got her some attention ...

More adventures from Lori's Tatty RD...


OH yes you can guarantee that this little Tatty RD will be all over the USA! With Lori at her side i dread to think what the pair of them will get up to! so her latest antics will be in 2 blogs, and the second will have you even in more stitches than this one!


So Lori and family went on vacation last week, and sure enough as soon as Tatty RD started looking around she just had to get into trouble!  whose idea was it to let her do this? 







So there they all are on  Assateague Island in Maryland. with poor little Tatty RD looking at the Atlantic Ocean ..  probably thinking of the UK where she came form ..... when she I SPIES .....
















A KITE












Ohhhh nooo you can just tell by the look on her face what she is thinking!! 


AND .. one handed! ......... 














Ohh jeesshhh NO HANDS! ...















HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! what is she like!!! i dare not look!!! 

Thankfully, Lori did manage to get her down again ... which in hindsight it would have been better if she had left Tatty Rd hanging onto the kite ... especially when you see what she did next .....tomorrow wait for it!

Dreams or ....

NIGHTMARES? *yikes*

I am slowly beginning to get used to little Tatty Rd's dreams, although how she shows them to me, is beyond me...  but anyhoo the very idea that she would w\nt to eat a 'burger' that is soo much bigger than herself is waaay out of comprehension!







WTH!! LMAO what would you call that anyway?








then teh very idea of a dream jumping to going to a funfair after eating the enormous burger .. can only be described a 'STOOPID!
Her and her dream monkey friend looked a bit green round the gills!!!




I certainly hope they had something to *barf* in!!





Thing was as i can only interpret these dreams into what i think she is trying to say, the last 'projection'  would have been ok, IF she had got into bed, and NOT played under it with the 'dust-bunnies', does she not clean in her dreams?




come to think of it, i do not 'clean' while dreaming, but then again, i do nto have 'dust-bunnies' under my bed either hehehe

Just goes to show we all dont dream about the same things .. just as well really *cough* LOL

MUMBLINGS from the maker of TRD ...

LONDON RIOTS


I will probably be ignored by many, BUT, we all need to 'get it off our chest' ...

I was brought up to respect others, elders, help where i can, be polite, 'please & thank you' cps nothing, but are rewarded with a smile, a pat on the head, etc depends how old you are. Respect other people's property, and help if you can.

I treat others the way i would like to be treated, those who know me know i would rather make someone smile, than hurt them in any way.

I brought my son up to be the same way, when he was 16 he got a part time job, so that he could pay for the things he wanted, and still did well at school, he did not go out at night, and I not know exactly where he was.
Since leaving school he literally worked his way up from the 'Disney' shop floor, to work in head office, and since been 'head hunted' by 2 very well other well know world wide companies.

AND I was a single mother, his father had not interest really, and we were divorced.

What is wrong with this picture? every single person i know has the same values, we are not rolling in money, they work hard, pay their way, bills, etc, most are skint most of the time, most cannot afford a holiday, but they have their values IN TACT. and we live very different area's of London, and the UK .. and Ireland.

SO oh WHY are these mindless children, young adults causing soo much damage? bored? bored? that is NEVER an excuse, and while looting etc where are they stashing it all? you cannot tell me that MOST of their parents do not know what they have been up to all weekend ..

WHY are parents condoning all this from their children?

LET ME ASK .. HOW THE FECK WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU HAD YOU HOME, WORK, LIFE, CAR ...  DESTROYED  for NO reason ..

Every single one of these so called human beings, that have been on the streets doing UNLAWFUL acts, should ALL be made to clear up the mess, and repay a certain amount of money, INCLUDING the parents of them, they are all responsible, they all should be made to pay.

16 and above? send them to a special Army training school, BOY and Girls, 18+ put them in the army for at least 2 years, when after the initial few weeks of training, they are then sent to clean the streets, of every single piece of dirt, shit, rubbish .. why pay someone to do this, when these who live on the social system, can quiet well do it if they want to carry on refusing to to work.
It is quiet easy to make huts to accommodate these, in  areas that are mainly just laying fields and land doing nothing for now ..

Government want to cut costs .. there are solutions APPLY YOUR BRAIN MATTER! and use it in a sensible way.  LISTEN to what we the people who are disgusted of this weekends madness .. a lot of what i have seen with regards to solutions MAKE SENSE, why do they not to you?

Get your heads out of your arses David Cameron and the likes ... STOP pampering yourselves, and do something for US for a change!

GO ON, I DARE YOU!

White Witch in training ..

Yes as you all know, our little Tatty RD will just about do anything, not only to get attention, and she does go a bit far at times to get our attention lol but to widen her horizons so to speak, so it looks like Angela's 2 are helping each other get into mischief and mayhem ..





Enticing the poor little kitteh into their 'circle' i would have thought is a really bad idea, but nooo look at 'em!
NOT only does the kitteh wonder into the circle, he then starts to look into the crystal ball with them! just as well kittehs do not have disposable thumbs or he would be the one dealing the tarot cards! yikes!
