Many of you may recall that I have been looking for a living relative on my family tree named Sandra.  After many months of searching I’m so happy to report that I’ve not only found Sandra, I’ve chatted to her on the phone!  It’s all thanks to Marie over at Marie’s Muses who suggested I try Genes Reunited.  I signed […]

I’d like to start by thanking all the people who have sent me so much love this week.  I feel much better today and even got a full night sleep, it’s been hard not to roll onto my left side during the night without waking up in pain.  But today I feel good.  So once again, […]

Yesterday was long, stressful and slightly emotional.  I went into hospital for some plastic surgery on my ear as I had a tumour growing and it was blocking the hearing in that ear by 50%. 
My day began around 6.30 with a coffee.  I needed to fast for 6 hours before surgery at 11am, which meant I should have been up at 5am for breakfast, […]

I hope this post inspires you as much as I was inspired to write it.  During this process I discovered lots of things I had never acknowledged about my family and myself.  My inspiration came from Kirsten, please read her “I am” post, as it is wonderful and to find out how this all started just take a peek here. 
So here goes…
I am from cold milk delivered […]

I’m back at work, sigh, and as we all know it doesn’t take long to feel like you never had a holiday at all.  I loved my three weeks off and felt very relaxed all week at work and even found the time flew by, which is a good thing. 
I’m struggling today with what to post […]

I just had to share this video clip with everyone as it is so wonderful you will be singing it all day.

The last week of my holidays was wonderful.  I had a day filled with scrapbooking when my girlfriend Jo came over for the day, we even got to have leftover Lasagne and salad for lunch, yum! 
Then I spent the day with Claire at Ikea.  We shopped until we dropped as you can see from the photo, […]

I learned two things from my last post.  The first is that once you get people started they let it all out, note the size of the comments. And that I get far more comments when posts are about something creative and inspiring rather than miserable, whiney and self-indulgent!  So I will limit my whinging […]

Nicholas enjoyed his first day at high school.  I did what most of my friends were doing and sat around worrying all day.  Not that I had a single thing to worry about, after all we went to a lot of trouble to select a school with high standards, it’s not like the school is full of […]

You have grown up so fast.

Your feet are the same size as your Dads.

Your hands are bigger than my hands.

You wake-up to an alarm clock, on your own, without my help.

You wear a tie to school.

And today you begin a new journey.

And I am so very proud of you.
Good luck sweetheart, see you at 3.30….
