Need a holiday.

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Remember I didn’t feel well last week? Well although I have managed to carry on with my daily activities, I haven’t felt 100% still. I still have a temperature, almost constant headache, occasional light headedness, constant nausea, tiredness, and now a slight cough and sore throat. Hmmm. Pig-Flu? Can’t be, I’m not ill enough. Well, [...]

21st Century City

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Well it’s all been happening at my beloved MCFC this summer – and I don’t mean all the transfer speculation or even actual signings. (You will know by now that I don’t speculate, nor do I get too worked up or excited – I will judge any and all of our aquisitions for myself, when [...]

Rain didn’t stop play.

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I had promised Billy a while ago that I would go and watch him play cricket sometime, so he asked if I’d like to do so on Sunday as his team was playing in a cup final, at the cricket ground 100 yards away, and the format was 20-20 which I can just about cope [...]

Charity Ball

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

On Friday evening, Billy and I went to a charity ball at Langley Castle (as you know, we love it there so it was no hardship to go back in a good cause.) As this was a formal occasion and guests were requested to wear dinner dress, my ivory and gold dress had a second [...]

Bugs!

Friday, July 17th, 2009

On Friday, I went down to mum’s to help her with her shopping etc, though she is back at work and needs less help now. On the way, I stopped off in Manchester to meet Chris (CTB) as we’d been promising for ages that we’d get together. We had planned to meet at the City [...]

Girly stuff Revisited

Friday, July 17th, 2009

A couple of girly updates for you: Novasure op – Absolutely fan-bloody-tastic! Having Novasure was one of the best things I’ve done and has given me back my life. If you have completed your family and are suffering the misery of heavy bleeding, I thoroughly recommend this. No pain after the op, and no more [...]

Billy’s Diet weeks 4 & 5

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Guess what!?! Still nothing happening! However, I HAVE discovered Graze.com, a fantastic service which delivers healthy snacks for munching throughout the day at the workplace, and Billy likes what he’s had so far. You can choose from generally healthy snacks, low calorie, pre- or post- workout, and their nutritionists do the thinking for you. At [...]

All the little things add up.

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I have had a lot of little things all needing my attention – and one big thing – and they were really starting to get me down, so on Thursday and Friday I knuckled down and started working through them. The most horrible big huge gigantic scary daunting task was to do my accounts to [...]

College fun and games!

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

The Sunday before Nel and her friend were due to start their 2 weeks summer course at college, Billy and I drove in with them so that we could find the bus stop and walk the route they would have to take on their own each day. Billy was in charge of navigating – both [...]

Young English Heroes.

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Although I hadn’t been able to watch the other games in the U-21′s Euro competition, I had been keeping up with results and wishing them success. However, I DID manage to watch the semi-final against Sweden, whilst at mum’s and we were SO glad we’d been able to see it. WHAT a game! In the [...]
