Love

As you know at the weekend we went to Andrew and Roxie's Wedding which was a lovely low key affair attended by family and close friends so here as promised some pictures. Neither Sarah or I are particularly photogenic but we managed to get an ok picture together:


And of course the Bride & Groom:


The image of the day for me though was this:



The Punk's first time being a Bridesmaid and she just looks like a Princess. I almost cried when I saw her looking so beautiful and grown up!

Huge Congratulations and love to Andrew and Roxie as they set off on married life together xxx

Sick

I know that my last post was lame and unfortunately this post is heading the same way. I spent a lot of the weekend being extremely sick with a dodgy stomach bug that I've picked up from somewhere and no it isn't alcohol related!!!!! I still feel kind of off today and have had a terrible day at work. I can't even blog about work because I'm so furious that anything I write today before I calm down will probably see me getting the sack.

I was going to write a post about the wedding that we went to at the weekend and show you some pictures of The Punk looking like a Princess but then Chick came home from Brownies and was violently sick so the nice stuff will have to wait until tomorrow!!! Aren't you glad that you came by today to listen to me whine again???? I promise tomorrow there will be a shiny, upbeat post to read but until then I'm gonna go do the Mummy thing!!!!!

Lame

Today I have nothing. I only got done with work about an hour ago and I'm so tired that I can barely keep my eyes open. My new shiny hard drive arrived today and being so Rock 'n' Roll I was planning on spending my evening backing up all my precious documents and pictures.

As I'm so knackered I'm going to be super lame and send you all over to Chanel's blog. Chanel is my American Sister-in-Law and she is tryng to post every day during December to raise some money for the Salvation Army to help people that won't get a Christmas this year because they are too busy trying to survive. Swing by and say Hi to her or throw some money in her Red Bucket I'm sure she'd love to see you:

Ok I give in......

......we are doing Christmas after all. You know I used to love Christmas right up to the point where I got old enough that it all became about the money. With us going to Australia this year I decided that apart from a few presents for Chick we wouldn’t do Christmas at all. Like no tree, no decorations, no cards and definitely NO Christmas tunes. Again I used to love Christmas songs but my problem with them is that we hear the same 20 songs every goddamn year....why can’t we have some new ones???

But I appear to have had a change of heart. I’m not sure if it’s because we went to see Dora The Explorer turn on the Christmas lights on Sunday or if it’s the fact that actually it’s now December so it’s ok to feel Christmassy? Maybe it’s because I finally got my hand on tickets for Chick to see:


Yep that’s right....another thing that I gave in on. It may have taken me 3 months of surfing the internet every single day to look for them but I have them. I hope that Chick will be VERY excited as I almost had to re-mortgage the house to pay for them!!!

So with all that said and after being tortured by my colleagues with Christmas songs I figured that I may as well stop being all Bah Humbug and at least try to make some effort for Chick’s sake if not mine. We started by putting our new (very complicated) Tree up and then Daddy came for Chick’s usual visit and she must have told him about my aversion to the songs because I went to hunt out the lights and when I came back down the stairs Slade was blaring from the stereo and they were both dancing around the Lounge like idiots. I’m happy that after everything they get on so well and are as Goofy as each other!!! We've also been playing a Christmas CD that Red bought when Chick was little that sings a special Christmas song with Chick's name in it....we had lots of fun singing along!

So we finished decorating the tree reminiscing over the decorations that we’ve bought, been given or have been handmade and I’m really pleased with how beautiful it looks:


Happy Holidays!!!!
