What has made 2006 for you!??! What has made you smile, cry, laugh, reflect and what have you learned? I will blog this later as i need to think about this one but i found this on chloe's blog , its great fun to remember all the things that you have done. How many of these have you done?

Well thats Xmas done and dusted for another year. i promised not to get so stressed next year and be more organised...stop laughing i will!!! My xmas day was actually everyone else's boxing day! I done the hardest thing ever and let my ex have the kids from xmas eve until lunchtime boxing day. I can honestly say that i have never felt so lost, it was possibly one of the hardest things that i have ever done. But when they came home boxing day and launched into opening all their presents it was great fun. George and Charli shredded everything in sight, whilst james was quite happy to sit scoffing his chocolate found at the bottom of his stocking and was not interested in opening his presents (a boy after my own heart lol) Well the hunt is now on to find a property to rent, it is hard looking for a place that we are only going to be in for a few months until we make our move to Spain. Well i am off to carry on clearing out cupboards, have a great day everyone xxx

I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a cool yule!!

Ok, so grab yourselves a cup of coffee and i will attempt to up date you all what i have been upto in the past week. I will go backwards, it might be a bit easier to remember that way (signs of getting old lol) Well i finished work yesterday, i had to take today off as my heating boiler is playing up but good old B Gas are sending an engineer out to look at it :), I am off work until Jan 4th Whoo hoo! its the longest time i have had away from work in one go for years. So this week i have been tryig to catch up with friends, Ann came over Wednesday (havent seen her for a few weks, mainly my fault for being so busy!) Sorry hun! i am a bad bad friend sometimes. Ann brought me a very cute box with a pressie inside and put in under my tree. And it has remained under my tree untouched, i cant believe what self control i am showing (a first for me :) ) Only 3 more sleeps though ;) Last weekend we were in Spain (yes again), the weather was fab, 24 degrees, we spent two days playing on the beac...

I am too tired tonight to up date my blog, so i will post a few pics taken over the past few wks and i promise to blog in full tomorrow :)

I can't believe that it has taken me this long to up date blogger. The weekend has past in a flash again and it will soon be monday morning again :( Well last Thursday was George's 6th birthday, i think he had a fab time, his party was 22 little ones aged 2 -6yrs in Pizza Hut. But amazingly they were all pretty well behaved, and i filled them all with pizza, coca cola and ice cream factory and sent them all home to their parents hee heee! a few were looking tad green. Heres a pic of my gorgeous george on his birthday Also i have some news, I have sold my house (fingers crossed it all goes smoothly) and so i am moving, firstly on a temporary basis to Laindon area (currently hunting for a house to rent) then around Easter 07 me, mark and the kids are going to go and live in the murcia area of Spain. I am so excited and yet so scared at the same time. This is probably the biggest thing apart from having children that i have ever done. I will keep you all up dated as things pro...

Yes thats all, 19 sleeps. where has this year gone???? I am almost ready for xmas, i have bought or ordered most of the presents, just ned to wrap them all now. But first i have to deal with George's birthday!!! My baby will be 6yrs old on Thursday, if anyone knows where the last 6yrs have gone please tell me... And also who's idea was it to invite 20 5 and6yr olds to pizza hut for a party, argh!!! i must be insane. Anyway back to the thoughts of crimbo, i took these fab pics of my three at the end of last week, i think they are so cute but hey i am their mum :)

On UKS today's blogger prompt is :- Discuss five things you want to do (see, accomplish, etc.) before you die. I have thought about this many times and this is what i have come up with. 1) I want to live long enough to see my Grandchildren, the reason for this is my mum passed away when i was 7 1/2mths pregnant with my eldest, so she never got to see me become a mum or meet her grandchildren. 2) I want to throw myself out of a prefectly good plane, attached to a parachute of course! I have done a bungee, done rock climbing and absailing, time to chuck myself out of a plane 3) Take a hot air balloon ride, it just seems so peaceful, something that i dont get a lot of is peace lol 4) Travel some more, I have travelled Europe, north africa, mayalasia, Australia. But i would love to visit NZ and America and Canada. (best start saving lol) 5) I think that the most important thing i want to do,see and accomplish is to nurture, and watch my children grow into confident, kind adults....
