Wednesday turned out to be a jam packed day. I didn’t need to go in to my clinic until late morning so I painted the shelves in the bedroom, thinking they could dry all day with the window open without me being there to smell the paint. Then I was in my clinic for the [...]

On Tuesday, it was Raji’s birthday (hard to believe his big-bash was a year ago!) I took him a cup of tea in bed and then just before we all had to go to work, we gave him his present and card, and the card mum had sent. Billy took over with the birthday boy’s [...]

On Thursday morning, I packed my things (badly – in a rush and not knowing what the weather was likely to do!) in to my new bright pink ruck-sack (a present from Billy as I felt a rucksack would be more practical on this trip than a suitcase.) I had a smooth trip down to [...]

As with most people, I’ve been very busy at work (both jobs) in the week leading up to the Easter weekend, trying to get on top of everything before the four day break. This meant a few things at home just had to be left, so when we got to the weekend, there have been [...]

Having read Suburban Mum’s blog showing her “laminated list“, and initially thinking that I don’t think I’d have a list/couldn’t think of any man I’d put on it, I decided I WOULD take up her challenge as two men did pop into my head. Then I applied more thought and came up with a couple [...]

On Sunday, Raji, Stephen and I watched the Carling Cup final together and I have to say, it was a thoroughly enjoyable match. I was naturally hoping Villa would win – for Dunnie as well as for ABU, and was delighted when Vidic gave away a penalty in just 4 minutes. What none of us [...]

As our game away at Stamford Bridge was on the Saturday lunch time, I rushed around in the morning, getting things done so that I could sit and watch the match on TV. Raji was off that day, so he watched with me, and Stephen joined us too about half an hour in. I was [...]

On Saturday evening, as soon as my match had finished, we changed and went to Claire and Simon’s wedding party. They’d actually got married in November in Las Vegas but were holding their party on the eve of Valentine’s Day for all of those people who had not been able to go to the actual [...]

Having gone to bed late the night before that morning, I didn’t wake up until 7.30 am and to be honest, didn’t feel too great, with a splitting headache and very tired. (I’d had 4 drinks all night – a span of almost 6 hours, so really didn’t think it could be a hangover.) I [...]

On Christmas morning, which was white as our snow remained, I was up first, as usual and had a couple of hours of peace before everyone else emerged for presents. Stephen did not want to get up early, but Raji was going to Church so we agreed on 9.15 am as present opening time. Now [...]
