On Friday, we spent the night at Langley Castle on the occasion of Billy’s cricket club dinner. I had finished work early, having a headache thanks to the building work which was very noisy. Luckily, a relaxing bath and some quiet, got rid of the headache in time for the evening. Billy and I drove straight [...]

Well this week, as with the end of last week, has consisted mainly of work. Luckily, I am full of energy and enthusiasm for everything at the moment so I am keeping on top of it all. Just as well, as I am working four days at the hospital for the next 3 weeks! Actually, [...]

The latter half of this week has been mostly about Stephen. He was 17 on Thursday – I can’t believe it’s already year after my proud post about his 16th! This year, he wanted it all to be rather low-key, though I did offer to take him out for a family meal/ cook a family meal/ bake [...]

This week, Lee and I have swapped working days at the hospital as she is off on holiday on Friday, so I’ve Monday and Tuesday at home. I wasn’t quite sure what I was planning to do with the days, but was hoping to get a job or two done to use the time constructively. [...]

Laura and I left home at 9 am on Sunday and had a quick and easy journey to Chester to see Mum. We had a lovely roast (beef) dinner, and low(er)-fat pudding, and then Mum and I dropped Laura round to see her friend before carrying on to the retail park. Neither of us could believe [...]

Now that I’ve caught up at home, work, my business, and finally my blog (albeit a speed blog lately!) I hope to keep on top of things and have a smooth run-in to Christmas. (I even baked my Christmas cakes yesterday, which I forgot to mention. They are now wrapped and getting intoxicated on sherry [...]

Tuesday was extremely busy at work so I was pleased to have a quiet night home whilst Billy went and played 5-a-side. His team are doing really well at the moment which is pleasing. On Wednesday morning I made a pan of soup as both Billy and I feel in need of eating better. We [...]

On Monday, I was back at work and luckily it was fairly quiet as I had a job to get my brain back into gear but I think it was just about up to speed by the end of the day. City played Sunderland in the evening, and I couldn’t get there in time, so [...]

Since we’ve been back from our holiday, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to write, so this will be a quick catch up again. On the Monday I had a peaceful day at home, with the house to myself, and caught up with the post, e-mails, phone calls, and my business – [...]

We left the house at 5.30am on the Sunday, had a very smooth trip with Jet2 and were met at Almeria airport by Sue and Joe, my ex-parents-in-law at 11.30am local time. It didn’t take too long to get to Mojacar and having been to stay with them before, we settled in quickly and spent [...]
