Busy yesterday, so I didn’t get time to blog.

Firstly thank you, Victoria, for your e-mail and Tasha for your comment *waves*. Victoria, along with Kristy, were the first visitors to dropped me a line all those months ago when I started writing, before Geocities chopped me off in my prime.

I’m glad you found your way over here, Victoria, and you are still a visitor. Yes, OK, I did send you my new link when it happened – but I like to look after my visitors *grin*, it’s only polite. It only sounded like a begging letter.

Well done, Tasha, for overcoming the fear of the comment button. I am enlisting Tasha’s help to run classes on – The Comment Button; Will it Bite your Finger? Fact or Fiction. If anyone’s interested in signing up, both Tasha and I will accept payment in chocolates and copious amounts of alcohol.

Thanks, Tasha, for your comment – much appreciated.

Talking of alcohol, I brought some raffle tickets last week that our young mums-to-be project were selling. We set the project up to support young mums and mums-to-be under the age of 21, most are single parents living in bed and breakfast accommodation.

We all donated prizes at work – hence, there was a large selection of chocolates and alcohol – including some very nice bottles of wine, which I quite fancied. Guess what, I won a prize.


The first person to say Ahhhhh will get thumped. Not quite as bad of those mince pies, but it’s not a bottle of wine, is it!

We’re still putting up Christmas lights, our friend Rich turned up with a 9 foot Christmas tree last night; he’s brought it for us as a Christmas present. A really nice thought as we hadn’t got round to getting one yet – apparently he’d driven past before hand to check. I do wish he wouldn’t encourage Himself, who is now convinced that we will need another set of lights to go on it. Apparently the three sets that we have already have for the outside Christmas tree, will not be enough.

We’ve an artificial tree inside – it to hot for a real one, the needles just drop and then the dogs get them in their paws. The last time we had a real tree inside we had to throw it out a week before Christmas as it was basically just a large branch with twigs and decorations on it.

So we’ve still got some outside lights to put up, and I just started to look at the tea lights, er… all 6 large plastic boxes of them. I really need to sort them out and get rid of the ones I no longer use. Not really in a throw away mood at the moment…so maybe next year.
