Bl00dy knackered but had an amazing weekend.

24th Jan.

Had an absolutly fantastic weekend, I always knew I had an amazing family and awesome friends but they all just proved themselves this weekend!!!

Birthday celebrations started Friday night, went for a meal with the girls and then to the Lazy Toad, had many many giggles, including blowing out candles that were meant for the powercut! What do you expect it was my birthday and they did sing to me! Did my first LIPP in Manchester and Melly copped for a dwaf!

                                                                
Sooooo funny and we also of course raised a toast to the birth of the new gorgeous baby Jayden Alfie Baxter, born 20.1 7lb 3oz, my Bezzie Vonnie is now officially old cos she is a Nana (tee hee)

So got home early hours of saturday and was treated to breakfast in bed by Laura and a very excited Cameron. I got some brilliant presents and lovely cards and was basically very very spoilt! spent the morning just lounging about and giggling with them both and then went out for lunch.

Saturday night, went to Carol's 50th birthday party and then was picked up and taken to town where I spent a lovely evening with somebody that made me feel very special!! x

Soooo after that you would think that Sunday would have been the day of rest!?? Oh no off to Bangor we go to take my Princess back to uni for her last semester, she is due to graduate in June and has a hell of a lot of work to do before then! Am behind you all the way Laura, get your head down now and it'll soon be over! x

Anyway all good things have to come to an end and alas my very enjoyable and tiring weekend was over. Was a very tired Teddy struggling to get up for work this morning!!

Gonna make a start on some of the list this week but there are that many things to do I just don't know where to start!  :-)

Will keep you updated and if you are one of the forementioned friends I cannot thank you enough!

Lots of love! XXX
