Aaahhhh there you are!!!!

So yes I have been a bad blogger!!!!!
It has been 14 days since my last post...

A lot has happened....
My best friend came over for a visit,
I finished true blood S2,
I got my teeth fixed,
I had my hair cut,
And I turned 30.

This is me with straight hair!!!
I had the best birthday ever, and was spoilt rotten, knitted scarf and hat from my granny, new boots, new jacket and so much more from the my family and friends.....

All-in-all, I have been a happy and busy lady of late.....
I have more news, but I shall spill the beans on that later!

Blogtoberfest Jet-lag recovery!!!

Well hello way over there...

So yes I have been MIA for 2 weeks shame on me!
I seem to have been suffering from Blogtoberfest jet-lag!!!
To say I was exhausted is a understatement!!
But I think the mojo may just have been found, with the aid of the lovely Michelle from midge & judy.

I recently took part in The Great Stocking Swap 2010 over @ Selinas.
I had great fun with this as I got a friend for my partner :o) And the stocking I got back well you can judge for yourself!!

I can only say a massive thanx to Michelle, I mean the work that went in to this stocking.... I love it thanx so much....

Not only that but look at my wee boys faces when they opened their pressies..You hit the nail on the head, I mean look at them well chuffed!!! A woman after my own heart...To make me smile with a stocking then make my boys happy too... Gush Gush Gush....
I could not have asked for a better partner!!


I am hoping that my mojo hang around and the kids give me a little time....!
