Where does the time go!

Another weekend has whizzed by! We went down to Southsea at the weekend to see Sheena as it was her 30th party, which was good fun. We even met our nextdoor neighbour down there! Freaky!
Then Caz and I went shopping in Reading on sunday which was good. I bought 2 tops & a skirt for 27!! Bargain! And then we watched the football! Need I say more!

Hi

I know! I've not been very good at the blogging recently but work being so busy has not given me much time to waffle!
We went to Anne's 30th at the weekend, where we saw quite a few old school friends which is always good fun. But we cant believe how old we all are, and how long ago school was! But luckily we havent changed much. So today has been spent recovering and doing not a lot! Duncan was quite disgusted with how much of a lie in I had! But hay, I cant remember the last time I slept in till 10am! Its not my fault he woke up at 5am & couldnt go back to sleep!

Nearly June!

Can't believe where the time is going! It'll be christmas before you know it!
Had a pretty quiet weekend. Went to Sarah's for her 30th which was good. The twins were cute! And baby Alex too.
We also bought our first shrubs for the garden which Im sure I will kill very shortly! Grass is looking good though.
Also watched a John Wayne film on sunday, plus had a lovely roast beef lunch. Which is what sundays are for!

Hi! Bye!

No time to blog! Too busy at work. Its not good. I need to go to the pub!

Eurovision BBQ!

It was a lovely sunny day AND it was Eurovision! What more can you want?! Duncans BBQ food was excellent as always! And Eurovision came up with its usual surprises! Bad songs & strange clothing! With the odd wipping off of clothes! (aka bucks fizz!)
It was Ben's christening on the sunday which was another hot day! And I got to cuddle baby Alex until he went to sleep!!
My cough is still lingering though! Any remedies?

News!

Jackie is preggers again! Due in october! Congrats to you both. Not fair! They've got 2 and I've got none!
Anyway, sorry we havent blogged for a while. Work has been manic! I've got too much work to do but we still cant afford to get an assistant to help me! Bah!
And it doesnt hepl when your boss goes on a jolly to Vegas!! But enough of the moaning! At least I enjoy it.
Its the twins 2nd birthday this weekend! Cant believe how old they are. So looking forward to going to their party!
Also Jo & Andy are coming down on sunday for lunch which will be good.
Not long till Eurovision now! 15th May! Cant wait!!

Easter weekend! Chocolate!

Yes its one of my favourite times of the year cause I have an excuse to stuff my face with chocolate eggs!! Perhaps I should start a campaign to get cadburys creme eggs all year round! Who's with me?!
I also spent a lovely couple of days on my parents narrowboat. Lots of fresh air and some lovely pub food! And I didnt fall in! Unlike my dad!!! Unfortunately I wasnt there to watch!
I highly recommend the Oxford Arms in Kirtlington for an amazing meal!

Weekends go too quickly!

Had a nice evening at the Queens head with Tony & Laura on friday night, but ended up going back to the Peli as it was too noisy and we couldnt hear each other!! I know, we must be getting old! Wanting to have a nice chat and somewhere to sit!
Then saturday I got to help Paula out with some babysitting which was great! They didnt cry too much! It was JP's 30th so I wore my do-it-yourself T-shirt with velcro letters that you make up yourself (which Dunc got me for Christmas) which went down well! As you can imagine, by the end of the evening rude words were being played about with on my chest!!
Then sunday we planted some more grass seed to top-up what is there just to thicken it up a bit. Should look very lush by the time we have our first BBQ of the season!

Baby Maggie!

Congratulations to Lisa & Cameron in Japan who had a baby girl called Maggie at the weekend after a 43hr labour! Phew! See their 'Turqoise' website for the pictures.

Its easy to make babies laugh!

Baby Joe and Steve & Vicki popped over again the other evening, so I got to have a good play with Joe once again! He was very good and even laughed lots when I made various clapping movements and patting noises! Hours of fun! I even have a picture of us which we shall try & put up shortly.
