Kimmie surfs for her 1994 Raft Boy Ndaba

Hi Friday peops

Thought I would rub it in a bit and send a TGIM out as I am off this week - and not before time - all this saving up my leave for the NZ trip is taking it's toll. It has taken me 2 days to unwind and feel like I can start the holiday proper!

Last Saturday's bimble in Monmouth turned out to be not one of Gary's better choice car parks - full to brimming with wrinklies parking up to get their BOGOFs at Waitrose - so after a one hour typical roadworks jam, and a trundle round the streets I did no more than turn my little pink thing round and come home (via Webbs for a bit of retail therapy!)

I then popped in to see my own wrinklies, who cheered me up no end reminding me what a valuable and much loved daughter I am :-/ so I did no more than get up and walk out of there too - I'm looking forward to finding out what the third 'Kim throws a wobbler' is going to be - I don't feel like I've peaked yet ;-)

Naturally I've sought solace in the virtual world and spent a lot of time on Facebook this week - and that has really cheered me up - I've found my lovely Raft Boy from 1994 - so check me out on Facebook and say hi to Ndaba - plus I've also met up with my old vicar Dave - yes folks, I was once into 'Revelations' - in fact I still am but in a different way ;-)

I've said goodbye (tho I hope it is just "So long...") to two good people at work this week. Lisa has gone to be with Darren and start a new life with Cherise & Livvy in Liverpool - I shall miss her mumsy advice on the corridors.... and Nicole is going to be a teacher - so a little ray of sunshine will be leaving the office - tho I'm well chuffed for them both.


I'm off to Devon this weekend - so you'll be let off a TGIF this week - I'm planning to get down there on Thursday - just in case the car park is full!

Have a good week

Kimmie :-) x

If you harbour suspicions that you, or someone you know, qualifies as a grumpy old woman take a peek at the checklist below - I did and it scared me! Is this what I’ve got to look forward to?

• You say “That shows my age” and people no longer contradict you
• Shop assistants cower in fear as you storm up to their counter to return shoddy goods
• You like a slip-on shoe – saves all that bending
• You complain a lot
• You start to enjoy pottering
• Young men are afraid to be left alone with you, lest you pounce
• You order your first pleated skirt from a catalogue
• You start buying all your clothes from Edinburgh Woollen Mills
• You start collecting used margarine pots and plastic bags in case you ever need them
• If you wore a thong you’d look like a sumo wrestler
• You can’t remember if you’ve taken your tablets
  
  PS: I am guilty of three of the above so far!! And NO! - I’m not telling you which!!
