I did it!!

I may not have stuck to the healthy eating as much as I should have - I was ill after all - but I did manage to go for a walk each day last week in my lunch breaks and got to fit into my red dress for the Christmas party (I know it's a bit late but that's the way we do it at ********) and if I say so myself I looked pretty damn good. The shoes did make the outfit though and I made the mistake of letting Forbez try them on and then had to wrestle them back off her. I'll put a piccy up for you all to see how luverly they are!!!!

bah humbug

I've got a stinking cold again thanks to my sister, she bought it all the way from Mansfield as a pressie for me.
So feeling very crap and very narked off as my plan of losing half a stone before the end of the month so I can get in to my new red dress for the christmas party it now not going to happen!!!

Dakar!!!

I am so happy I'm like a little piggy in muck, why, because one of my favourite sporting events started at the weekend. The Dakar Rally, this is the toughest rally in the world and the boys and girls that take part are heros!! Last year out of 475 vehicles starting the rally, 194 finished that is how tough it is.

I only wish it was covered more on the TV as the 30 mins on Eurosport does not do it or the racers justice!!!

yuk!!!

Watched a programme over Christmas about toys given as presents and the best and worst of them, one of my favourites that brought back lots of warm happy memories were these little critters
















Some were completely gross but I loved them!!

exciting times

If you've bothered to read my 2nd ever post you will remember that I said we had decided to put our house up for sale, well the fabby news is that it sold. And between Christmas and new year at that!!!! So we're now going through the boring bit of filling in loads of paper work and complaining how much the solicitors and estate agents are scamming us for the privilege of doing very little.

My new house is in Lancaster and it is very nice and posh – I know me and posh are not two words that would normally be associated with each other.

Will put proper piccies up when in but here's one of the front for now.

the old ones are the best...
