Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you who have taken the time to look at my blog, leave comments both publically here or privately.  They have all been greatly appreciated.  

I have learnt so much this year and hope to learn more in 2010.

I take this opportunity to reflect on the past year and the friendships I have made and those that have gotten stronger.   To those people, thank you, you have been wonderful people and value your friendship.

This has been a year where we sadly lost a mother, a mother-in-law, grandma in January.   My husband lost his mother to cancer at the beginning of the year aged 57.  The girls still talk about Grandma which is wonderful as she had a lot to do with them even though we lived in separate countries.

Please don't take your loved ones for granted, treasure them, you just don't know when they won't be here.  For my friends who do have a sick family member, my heart goes out to you, as Christmas is all about family and being together.  Treasure the moments as the memories will last forever.   

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND A HAPPY 2010.

Love and hugs to you all

It's beginning to feel a lot like Chirstmas

Here we are at the first day of December, where has the year gone. For most of us this is the start of the busiest month of the year. And in the words of Prince 'Lets go Crazy'.

Justin has just had three days off work with a numb foot and lower leg and now has to see the Orthapaedic Surgeon for the back issues which are causing the foot and leg issues.

On Friday we went to a little shop called Christmas Every Day and bought a small train set to go under our current tree and with the plan of getting a new tree for Christmas 2009 and putting it on Layby. Unknown to me on Saturday when I left to take the girls to swimming lessons, Justin was off to the shop to buy a piece of train track for the train (Not that we have enough now!) and came home with my chrstmas tree. Talk about being surprised. The branches are so much thicker than my old tree and hardly any of the decorations fit so it looks a little bare. Mind you it is now 7ft tall and rounder than the old one. What a reason to get more decorations.

Till Next Time
