All Grown Up

Well my heating is now up and running and having lots of lovely hot baths!

Been busy this last week. Daughter is now 18 my how the time flies. We had an open home where friends and family appeared. She had a whale of a time and really enjoyed herself. Got some lovely pressies and pennies for her hols, a lucky girl really. Managed to embarass her as only a mum can do. Decorated house with balloons and banners and pictures of her from when she was a babe and what a babe she has turned out to be! When I work out how to put pictures on I will!

She is now off to Norway in the middle of the North Sea at the moment but has assured me she has not been sick yet, this being her last school trip.

I've been busy watching exchange rate for my trip to NZ the rate is going up so just waiting for the right moment. 18 weeks today and I will be on my way well at least on my way to London!

Proud Mum

Well Prom Day came and yes I was taxi most of the day but got quite excited myself. Lynn's hair was done and it was lovely then off to get make-up done by her colleague at Boots what a super job she made of her and then back home to get dressed. Stunning she was and what a couple her and Kris made they looked dare I say it again lovely. Took lots of pictures of them and the limo so hopefully they will come out ok. How grown up brought a tear to the eye.

Talking of tears - well this week the plumbers have started on the new central heating system. We are living in a tip every room is affected hopefully by the end of the week we will be back to normality particularly as the weather is to decline we will just have our heating in time. A bath would be lovely.

49 days till Lynn goes to NZ and 20 weeks 2 days till we go can't wait till we start counting the days!

Just back from parents meeting for Lynn's last school trip to Norway which is the day after her 18th gosh will have to get organised for that too thats only over 2 weeks away. These next few weeks are going to fly in. Best catch some shut eye!

Death of the Boiler

Well my visitors have travelled on. It was lovely to hear the NZ accent again. They didn't freeze to death and fortunately we have an electric shower. Boiler has died and we are to get replacement so still surviving without hot water and heating. Fortunately the weather has been kind.

Now only 21 weeks and 3 days to you know what!

This Friday is my daughters prom - have taken half a day to be on taxi duty. Getting her hair done and her make up by a colleague at work she will look stunning. She has now finished school and finished her exams and wondering what to do. I am so proud of how she has turned out so far!
