Quick update, nothing special.


So the snow is nearly gone around here, some parts of the UK have been in a terrible state, people getting stranded in cars all over the place and being rescued by the army.

Well it's my Man's birthday on Monday, 21 again, we have just been out for a lovely meal with Mum and Sophie, Mum's treat to us for his birthday.

I am so excited about going over to the States in April, can't wait to see Tracy again and the reunion in Vegas will be a blast I am sure. Love Manny for letting me go he is a good one, thank goodness for credit cards that's all I can say, let's hope I can get some overtime to pay for my extravagances! lol


So my dear friends if you have any money making schemes keep me in mind I could do with a few extra quid!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

How exciting, with all this global warming I never thought I would get to see snow like this again in England, it is lovely that the kids are getting to see it aswell. This is the heaviest snow we have had in this country in 18 years, yes 18 years that means I was the tender age of 18 last time it snowed like this and I'm getting that old I can't even remember it.

Snowmen are popping up all over the place, kids are skidding around and getting soaked through and loving every minute of it. It hasn't stopped snowing all night and it's 1.10pm now and it's still going, they estimate another 2.5 cm over the day and then again tonight, but by then it will be freezing and lethal. I have no plans to go anywhere today, Manny has just come back in from work the weather is too bad for them to work so his 5.30am start was a waste of time, never mind at least he's home safe, accidents happen a lot in this weather with some of the fools out on the roads, it's always a worry.

I bet it is gorgeous down at the old Churchdale Cottage, I do miss that old house and when the weather was like this it was fantastic. Dad built us a sledge one year and the canal was frozen over so we had hours of fun skidding up and down it. Oh the good old days, I'm not going to get all sentimental just going to remember what a fantastic childhood Sophie and I had and how lucky we were to have parents that devoted every waking hour to us, and of course Mum still does, don't know how she does it, we are still both demanding and we've got Manny, Jordan and Lauren too.

So enjoy the snow piccies it will probably be the last ones I ever take in good old Blighty.

YES I am still alive! lol

Well Hello to you all and so sorry it's been such a long time, doesn't work get in the way of life eh? lol

I do hope you are all OK and surviving this blooming recession, what a pain it is, I'm having to think twice about my shopping on QVC but don't panic I am managing to treat myself once a week at least. lol

So what's been happening here then, well I can tell you NOT A LOT!!! We had a lovely Christmas at home, nice and quiet with the family, the kids came over in the afternoon after spending the morning with there Dad and we had a great time opening ALL of there gifts, I certainly don't remember getting that many when I was there age. It is such fun watching children get excited over things.

So I had a couple of weeks of work after Christmas but just hung around doing not a lot which suited me to a tea.

We all went out from work just before Christmas for a curry and a drink, we had such a lovely night it would be nice to do something like that every few weeks, (wink wink nudge nudge Manager!)

Tracy puts her piccies into a slide show which I think is fabulous so I have done the same, hope you like them?

Hopefully I will be able to blog a bit more often now but we shall have to wait and see how exciting life gets. lol

Take care I miss you all
