Holiday, celebrate!

Hurrah. We have booked a summer holiday. We're going to a village called Elton, in Derbyshire. It's very near to Bakewell, where we got engaged. Aaaaaaaaaaaah! A whole weeks holiday. I can't wait!!
Here it is:

Only a matter of time.....

Check out my Dad's new blog which shows a collection of his brilliant (canal) photography. He likes to keep abreast of the technology of the naughties! You go Daddy!

Celebrity Love Island Update.....

What was I thinking? Shane is the best thing on Celebrity Love Island. He's such a good guy....I love him.......

Hello Daddy!

A big hello to my lovely Daddy.....a self-confessed ' a girl's prerogative' fan! Watch this space for his blog.....coming soon!

I heart guinea pigs!!!

Big Wow!

Wow this looks good!

Now just the first letter.

She's good!

I'm a funky box!

Can I manage to change the colour?!

Somebody stop me!

I'm a funky box!

Well this should be a box in grey.

Grrrrr....

The lie-in didn't happen. Well, I managed 8am, rather than the usual 6.30am! Not quite what I had in mind though, so I have decided to use the time productively and work on my HTML! Here goes!

this should come up as lots of differentstylish fonts. New Yorker

Are you supposed to memorise all these codes or is it ok to look them up/write them down?

Blog crazy...

Tomorrow I will have a Saturday with Ben for the first time in about 8 weeks. I plan to:

• Have a lay in


• Refrain from doing any work whatsoever!


• Celebrate Poppy's first birthday

Ok..so not the most interesting blog ever but I am expanding my html capabilities and have now added bullets to the list!

Dreams can come true.....

This blog is for my super doooper friend Faith, who had a dream to make balloon animals! Dreams do come true and WILL come true, Faith!

Strictly fabulous!

On another shallow note....
This week I have had my lovely ex-housemate to stay. During this time we have become obsessed with another set of housemates, those of celebrity love island! It's so fascinating to see how they all relate to each other, particularly in comparison to non-celeb versions. As a childhhod Eternal and Boyzone fan, I am very pleased to see kelle and Shane. It's also really interesting to see how they are sharing their faith. I wonder how much of their conversations is censored. But most of all I love..........Brendan, my second favourite Strictly character! (No one beats Carig R-H!)

My Mummy....

For Christmas 2003 Ben bought me a Radley handbag. Being me, I wasn't sure if I wanted it first (I sometimes take a while to come around to surprises!) but soon realised I loved it and indeed ALL Radley bags! My Mum and I had several conversations, in which she explained that she just didn't 'get' the whole expensive bag thing. Then last Summer, on a impromptu day-trip to Stratford upon Avon, we stumbled across a bag shop where I encouraged Mum to hold a few beautiful bags, to see how pleasing they were to the hand and eye. I believe that this was when the seed was planted. One dusky pink over body bag and classic brown handbag later, she is a fellow fan! Today I had the pleasure of a phone conversation to learn of her new purchase - a Radley briefcase for work. I feel very proud of her good taste, but more so of her excellent bargaining powers. Although really the credit should go to my Dad, who was the first to haggle with our friend Jacqui, of Jacqui's bags!
Hurrah for handbags!

The best yet...

My husband is 28 years old. He's crazy about video games, comics, gadgets and music. He is very creative, a brilliant artist (very useful when you're a teacher) and very techy. Recently he has been combining all these interests (into a socially acceptable outlet!) and making videos for the youth cafe he runs. His latest one is my most favourite one ever. It starts off with a clip from the new Superman film and reflects on some similarities with Jesus.

Not long now!

Cows!

My favourite part of today was a walk in the fields with Faith. At one point a group of cows surrounded us. Despite Faith's upbringing on a farm, we couldn't think how to get out of this predicament and Faith got licked on the elbow! It was very funny, if a little unnerving!

My husband, he's so clever!
