Sorry you missed me last week – and thank you for the 0.05% of the TGIF crowd checking to see whether I was still alive – indeed, thank you Herty boy and Steve!
In fact I had a bummer of a sore throat – three bloody weeks now - and so couldn’t use the keyboard - you know how it is!
Truth be told I was reading through some of the annual Xmas newsletters I get and fell asleep….. much like I guess the poor sods who receive mine will do!! I’ll be posting a copy on the Blog over the weekend…..zzzzz. Actually it was quite good fun condensing a year into one side of A4 – unlike one of my old friends who managed to fill two sides of A4 with kids, chicken pox, 6 year old birthday parties, swimming badges, farm visits, monthly weather forecasts, incoming tide stories, and Grandpa’s successful operation – flitting between it being in the third and first person! Thank goodness they had a new printer which they hadn't sussed out yet, so I didn’t get the usual photo collage of the exciting growth spurts that they have experienced! Thank you Jean for yours – succinct and happy news plus a hot pot recipe – my kind of newsletter - welcome to TGIF land!! Karen – how are the boys – a sentence is not good enough…. :-) kidding – good to know you are still out there!
So because I didn’t have a better response, I shall waffle on until my sore throat stops my fingers working!
Last Monday I spent the evening drinking Numpts under the settee – well not quite under – as it was a tussle with Ben (pooch) about who could spread the furthest on it – and I have the bruises (3) to prove it – God I’m starting to sound like that bloody newsletter!

Then, Tuesday was spent in Worcester Christmas shopping – we filled four carriers in the first two shops (well, one of them was an old fashioned sweetie shop!!) The ‘boy’ behind the counter probably wasn’t even born when half these sweets he was selling were invented! Every shop we went into had different style Xmas deer ornaments – so I’d start “Oh deer…” and Numpts would see a whole herd clustered on a shelf and would be saying “Oh deer deer deer…” then I noticed how bloody expensive they were, and I said “this is a dear deer” and she said “there’s a dearer deer ere.” Maybe you had to be there? I was exhausted that night – the excitement I think – I’ve not done ‘Park & Ride’ (not ‘Ring and Ride’ – not y
et anyway!) It was great leaving the car behind and at the end of a long day heading back and realising maybe it wasn’t such a good idea Numpts driving her MG – we might have had more boot in my pink thing… Just have a look at this amazing place!! The sky was bettert han chicken licken days.... the posh worcester people at the Park and Ride were quietly musing that Numpts was accompanying me on day release I think!

It’s great at Crimbo catching up – except I was so knackered after coughing for the last two weeks that I think Charlie had enough last night with our annual Yule catch up! Sorry Charlie - let's meet in the spring next time when I'm still bushy tailed! Well done on your new job too!
Last Saturday night was fab – at the Burlington – poshed up with the SPICE crowd – we had a smashing table – Mike was an excellent host – and thanks to one really ugly bugger the rest of us girls looked great ;-) we missed Jane tho – so me and Jane shall be giving it large on new years eve instead! We danced and danced and I did my usual impression of Mrs Overall all day Sunday! I’m too old for this stuff :-(

I must have been drunk tho – I was there…..’Kimbo akimbo’ giving it “oops upside your head…”:-( .............see the pics....
So this week has been full of pink hand-bag cake for Claire – happy birthday for the weekend!
She happened to praise my cakes on Facebook, and always one to respond to compliments I offered to make one for her birthday not realising it was the week before Christmas, so everything in the house is now covered in a layer of pink icing dust – floor, tree, me, etc etc, There are Xmas presents, wrapping and New Zealand kit strewn across the house! I lost my purse for 3 days and found it in with the bird feed in the sun lounge!? (as you do)… then Clare at work made me a Xmas pudding which I also lost for two days – then found it in the car…. So Sarah there is something in the air – glad you found your mobi!
Hope you and yours have a fabulous Yule – there will hopefully be one more TGIF before I head down under for the month on Jan 5th to New Zealand – yeeeehaaaaaa!

So it may be quiet for a while unless I manage to get on the Blog and keep you updated?
Take care now folks
