Bits and Pieces

As the last two posts have been been generally event specific, i.e. me escaping and us going out on the lash, I though I had better bring you up to date on some of the other bits and pieces that have been goin on.

Firstly my baby girl... that would be Erwin, turned 17 last week, and for the first time in 17 years she wasn't here for her birthday. Instead she went with Martin to Centre Parcs for a mid-week break. It was very strange not having her around for her birthday.

As she was going away she wanted money for her birthday which wasn't a problem, but we also bought her a candy floss maker, which we gave her when she came home. It was an instant success and she had been producing copious amounts of candy floss ever since. I was actually quite impressed how good it was, as I was expecting something a bit pathetic, like some of the chocolate fountains that you can buy cheap these days but it really does work and makes very genuine candy floss.

Another new acquisition was my new Blackberry phone. I have been due an upgrade on my mobile for while but I finally bit the bullet last week and went and got something high tech. It is surprisingly easy to use and I can get all my emails and Facebook updates straight to it and quite frankly I love it!!

I have also been able to copy all my ringtones and photographs to it so now I get advanced warning of who is ringing me... not that anybody other than Noel and the girls does actually ring me :o(

I have started four days off this morning so my plan is to try and catch up on some serious housework, unfortunately the hunt for a cleaner is still no further along, I am also trying to sort out somewhere for us to go on my next two weeks off, which is only about two weeks away.

Finally I shall leave you with this really cute photo of Skittles exploring one of the kitchen cupboards.
