For International Day of Families we all got together to celebrate my mother’s 75th birthday with a curry. All except my daughter who is currently in Australia. Nothing better than a gathering of the troops. So that, coupled with the […]
What a week that was. From the biggest upset in American politics to the smallest activities going on in my house, it’s been a big old week and I’m exhausted both physically and emotionally. We’ve had two birthday’s – my […]
THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO MADE MY BIRTHDAY SO SPECIAL.. it was always going to be a tall order this year as I was trying very hard to ignore it but to be honest, I’m sure […]
It was “Visit Your Relatives Day” on Friday and visit my relatives did….loads of them…it was my mother’s birthday on Sunday and so we held a sleepover in her honour on Saturday night at my house along with all three […]
It’s Elvis Presley’s birthday – 8th January and he would have been celebrating his 80th birthday, instead he died at the age of 42. He was always my one…I loved him far more than all the Beatles put together or […]

I am SO behind with my blog posts – it’s Christmas Eve and I’m writing about my son’s 21st birthday party…and I have, like us all no doubt SO MUCH STILL TO DO FOR TOMORROW!! But still, I must take […]
It was my birthday last week (still not a big one – phew!) and it came shortly after my daughter’s 18th so I really wasn’t expecting to do very much or for anyone to notice – but guess what! My […]
