Please forgive me for I have sinned!!!

Oh dear its been a while!!! I really really need to get into this blogging malarkey don't I? either that or stop being so bl00dy busy!!....ermmmm N'ah :-)
Anyway, what a fantastic few weeks I've had, where to begin? I've knocked a couple of things off the list, been on a hen night to Notts, celebrated Laura's 21st and  been away to Crete, doesn't stop there though, I have two more weekends away in May and a busy few weeks ahead (AGAIN!)

So the last time I blogged was March, the week we went to the Cherries reunion, had a really good night and was good to catch up with some old school friends, keep thinking about arranging a school reunion now we are all nearing 40 but have that much planned already it would have to be much later in the year before I do... (Looking for help there Lou!!??) :)

The week after we went to Nottingham for Liv's hen night, was fab, I LIPPED in NOTTS, (No 5) so thats Notts, Manchester and Sissi now, sure i'll manage to LIP in lots of other places too!! tee hee
We had such a great weekend, with lots of laughs.

The following week was of course my Princesses 21st birthday, You really don't know how old that made me feel!  We had a party at home and loads of people turned up to help her celebrate, we have some lovely friends and family and it was such a good night. The party piece was of course the cake! My friend Katie made a camper van cake for her with a personalised number plate LBE 21, Laura loved it!




So after a weekend of cleaning to prepare for the party, then the party itself, then the clean up operation afterwards it was time to pack for Crete! pheeeewwww.

Friday 8th April, Me, the kids, my mum and my nieces from Ireland and their mum Trisha boarded the plane to sunny Crete for a week of sun, sea and sex on the beach cocktails... had a great week, hotel was lovely and the weather was just right, I caught an amazing tan even if I do say so myself!! The food was really nice as was the free beer and cocktails!! Trouble was a lot of the desserts were chocolate based and I was of course doing No 30 on the list - no chocolate for 40 days!- I must say though I did myself proud and did not give in to any chocolate at  all!

15th April and we were back to reality, went for a walk with my man on the Sunday and boy did I know I had been away!!! it was like being back to square one, I was knackered and a tad upset that I'd let myself down, Snowdon is booked for July so I really need to get into this walking up hills shiz... a glass or three of wine in the pub on the way back soon made me feel better! LOL  

Then it was back to work :( and before I knew it Easter was upon us!! 4 lovely days off to relax, spent a lovely day in Bangor on the pier crab fishing, left Laura in Bangor to get on with her dissertation, my baby has like a month left at university and its into the real world for her!

Monday, we went for a lovely bike ride, we were going for a 20 miler but unfortunatley my fella's bike broke half way up the track, so after a quick temporary fix we decided to turn back and go for our picnic, it was such a pleasant afternoon, very chilled etc... except for Cameron never stopping talking! can't think where he gets it from??? (",) so anyway that evening, trying to prove that I am still young and down with the kids, we all start doing Rollie Pollies on the bed and handstands against the wall! I did nearly attempt a crab but bottled it in the end... anyway, I am clearly not young and down with the kids as a trip to the doctor this morning proved! seems I tore a muscle whilst rollie pollieing and have been in quite some pain since! strong painkillers and deep heat are helping and hopefully it'll mend itself soon??

Anyway, coming up over the next few weeks:  We start dance reherseals on saturday for the show in June, (No 16) football practice for the Mono footie tournament (No 14)  a weekend in York for Katie's hen party and a weekend in Leeds for Shelley's 40th making a pop video (No 4)

Have booked a week off doing nothing sometime next year!!! ha ha

Anyway, I now pledge to update this blog more often!!

Take care dudes! XXXX
