Hi Folks

I've just realised that it's 2 weeks since my last blog, although I have been taking a look at everyone elses. Work has been particularly busy, as has our social life which is great! Everyone is moving now spring is here so I've been run off my feet this last week. I can report that we now have a whole new bathroom, oh what bliss, it's probably one of the smallest bathrooms in the world but it is now all new and shiny! I can't wait to start on the lounge now, I'm going to get one of those steamer things today to get all the paper off. My mum is coming to visit next week so I have to get a move on! Just a thought ......... Isn't it funny when the answer to a mystery you've been puzzling over for ages suddenly just drops into your lap with practically no effort at all? It makes you laugh!

3 good things!

Oh hooray the old bathroom is no more! It's gone, vanished, leaving behind bare boards and walls in ruins. But no matter, John the FB (friendly builder) will do his magic and give us a sparkling new one within the week! At the moment the NEW ONE is sitting in the conservatory looking less than elegant, but soon it will be INSTALLED. No more leaks or clouds of steam leaving sneaky patches of mildew, yuk!

Another good thing this week was a night out with the girls last Saturday, we always have a great time at our favourite Chinese, and Saturday was no exception! One dear friend had such a good time she fell off her chair, need say more ? !! Okay so Kevs definately not one of the girls but he is lovely, and he'd never been on one of our nights so we let him come along! They truly are the best bunch of friends and I love them to bits.. And of course the best thing of all was seeing my darling Maisie. They came over on Sunday and we spent a lovely long relaxing day chatting and catching up with all the news while Maisie played happily and got the most cuddles ever. She's almost 1 year old and has the sweetest nature and a real sense of fun

Home and Away

Our lovely friends

We moved 2 weeks ago and are still surrounded by boxes, ( some of them have been packed for 3 years)! However all is well, apart from the oven doesn't work and the washing machine is a tad touchy. Oh and water from the shower leaked through the kitchen ceiling yesterday,( now I know why the kitchen lights keep flickering) and the new bathroom doesn't arrive for another week... But it is lovely to be in our own place at last and to be able to choose the way we want things. Today I forgot the oven didn't work and bought vegetables to roast, oh well.... Last weekend we went to a bit of a 'do' in Bournemouth, (on the south coast) and had a whale of a time with some friends from Norfolk and Sussex, we stayed 2 nights in an hotel on the seafront and it was beautiful. We even managed drinks on the balcony at sunset ! I made my first ever speech and even made my audience laugh, I quite enjoyed it actually and wasn't nervous at all. I really must be getting old..... The girls singing was far better than the guys who were all far to drunk!!

Mark sang with the band though, completely unrehearsed, and I was so proud of him, he was brilliant.
