HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a good night last night and that there aren't too many bad heads today! It was a quiet night for me and I was in bed before Midnight, however, I didn't miss it because the fireworks and the boat horns woke me up (we are VERY near to the water!!). Didn't feel like making a big fuss of it this year as Tony wasn't here and it was also our anniversary - we met fourteen years ago on New Year's Eve. Anyway, in a better mood today and what a busy morning I've had. Woke up to a beautiful sunny day - what a great start to the year! Have done the washing, taken all the decorations down (yippee!!) and totally spring cleaned the conservatory where the majority of decorations and toys were. You would have smiled if you had seen me - cleaning windows and hoovering with Abba (yes, Abba!!) playing full blast on the stereo!

Thought I'd share this card with you - it's similar to the others I've been loading over the last couple of days and it's cheeky old Fluffles again! It was only when I'd put the card together that I realised the wording on the image wasn't so good but hey, what the heck!

Back to cooking the roast, got little mouths to feed!

Very pretty card Jo, and nothing a bit of black gel pen wouldn't sort out in the wording....

Happy New Year Jo!

Love your latest batch of cards (cat on the scales brought a smile to my face & it's a PB stamp I don't have, hmmm can feel my credit card getting nervous lol)

See you've been spending, join the club! - did you get some of the new Penny Black spring releases, I couldn't resist!
Hope you like your bellas, but need to warn you, they are very 'collectible' too!!!

Adorable ... sometimes that sentiment is right for a birthday ... just depends on the year.

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!
