Dipping Into The Water Butt

This is a MeMe started by Carol over at Blog Virgin. She didn’t actually tag anybody but I thought it was such an interesting MeMe that’s very apt at this time of year.
1. Not just accepting that I have faults but actually doing something about them. Nobody’s so perfect there isn’t room for improvement and […]

I was listening to the radio the other day and listeners were asked to call in and say what they found to be most stressful about Christmas. Most of the usual stuff featured: cooking for a huge family, family members getting drunk and being obnoxious and the expense involved, but what really surprised me was […]

“Happy Feet” was awful! So bad that I fell asleep several times. In fact, I didn’t even know that the main penguin character had even been captured by humans until my daughters told me.
Admittedly, I was tired but not that tired. The last time I fell asleep in the cinema was when Lise was […]

The night before last was spent in The Rising Sun, a beautiful olde worlde style pub about five minutes drive away from us. The food isn’t the cheapest but it’s soooooo melt in the mouth! It was one of those meals that you don’t really want to eat because you know that, if you do, […]

It isn’t over yet! Christmas runs from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve and every day has its charm, even if it just means hanging around in PJs and doing nothing productive.
Here are a few photos from our Christmas so far…

Charlene getting into the festive mood on Christmas Eve!

Look what’s on top of the […]

It’s finally here… that magical evening when we should all be doing whatever we enjoy most, whether that’s clubbing, enjoying a peaceful evening at home with a glass of mulled wine (puts hand up) or visiting friends.
To Do List For Today:
* Wrap last of presents and move wrapping paper off of kitchen table
* Find […]

First up, I found this over on Pete’s blog and ended up playing with it for far too long!
Christmas Carol Singers
Just type in the name of a Christmas Carol and they’ll sing it for you. Well, they will if they know it.
Next there’s this one that I found at Charlotte’s Web.
Snowflake Maker
Go on, have […]

Ok… I’ve been tagged by Maysha this time and it’s a list of four things I’ve done, do and would like to do. Don’t expect anything mind-blowingly spectacular!
Four jobs I’ve had:
1. Cleaner in a dentist’s surgery - when you need money you can’t afford to be fussy!
2. Charity Administrator - probably the most interesting […]

This is a MeMe that I found on the lovely Caroline’s blog.
Five Things I Would Like This Christmas:
1. For my family to feel peace and happiness throughout the day and to have that reflected in their lives during the coming year.
2. Flowers. I’ve always sent my mum flowers for Christmas but have never received any. […]

Charlene’s staying with us at the moment and let me tell you now, she’s a right little giggler. I’ve never known anybody to be on such a natural high as she has been since coming here to visit. Anyway, we’ve been chatting about past times and one of the stories she loves the most is […]
