Morning, The new kitchen day has arrived!  I've scheduled this post as I've no idea when the electricity will be off and I won't have internet.  Please send positive vibes that they don't make too much mess ... did I tell you yesterday I HATE MESS!!!  Thankfully Mr C is working from 12 midday so he won't be trying to sleep through clattering and banging.  Our pooch went off to stay with our daughter last night as she doesn't like noise.  That's what happens when she lives with two old fogies!

Speak to you when I can.

Hugs

Be Mine

Hi, early on the go this morning as I'm off out for lunch with my friend then I've to take my granddaughter to the dentist for her second lot of extractions.  Thankfully once she's done today that's her finished for a wee while as the dentist is going to have to wait to see if her adult teeth fall into the spaces or if she's going to need railtracks.  Once finished at the dentist my granddaughter is coming home with me and staying the night.  Mr C is working till midnight so we're going to have a quiet evening to let her get over the trauma, wonder what time she'll be asleep tonight?

Apologies for the poor photo quality as outside it's grey, miserable and a wee bit sleet in the air ... deep joy ... roll on Spain!

Well, well, there goes my first and only resolution - not to be posting at the weekend!!!  I didn't post yesterday as Mr C and I went to visit my aunt.  Unfortunately she has another break in her back and has to go to see the Consultant on Tuesday. She was in fine spirits though and we had a lovely time with her.

I'm having a lazy day today.  Mr C was working till midday and is now having a sleep as we are off out tonight for a meal with all his cousins.  

Hope you all have a good weekend.  Hugs xx

I really am sorry that I've not been around but I've so many other 'projects' on the go - ironing, cleaning, cooking ...

I visited my aunt yesterday and one of her friends sent her a handmade calendar with her Christmas card so I though I'd make one for my friend.  I'm going to meet her tomorrow for coffee and exchange pressies.  I hope she likes it!

Hi everyone!  I had a fabby day out with my friend on Friday.  Didn't actually buy very much but it was great to catch up.  Saturday I was meeting up with 3 friends whom I've known for 40+ years.  We decided to have our Christmas get-together earlyish this year in case we had the same bad weather as we experienced last year.  Presents and cards have been duly swapped ... how organised are we!  Sunday was a family day as it was our son's birthday so we all met up for lunch and had great fun.  Today I'm off to see my aunt as she wants me to take her to M&S for some Christmas shopping.  Seems like I'm never at home but it beats working any day.  It's the best job I've ever had!  Hugs x
