    Hi all,
    just a quick post , been very busy over Christmas making memories, will post more details later,
    Just wanted to wish you all a wonderful new year, here's wishing you all an amazing 2014, spent with those you love.
    We are going for a drive in a minute, to buy a take out pizza and find a hill Top, to watch fire works, if the rain holds off we will put the roof down on the tt and just sit and enjoy each others company.
    Hugs and love every one

    Evening toughies

    Thanks to you all, yes even you lurkers for being here and reading those things that are sometimes just an outpouring of mind fartiness.....it's good to have a place to let it all out.

    I've loved getting to know some of you better and look forward to sharing your lives in 2014. I've a feeling it's going to be a good one :)

    I'm surrounded by kittens, DDs have their BF's here for the night and we're all relaxing (in onsies) and just watching TV, sharing a laugh or two and having a glass of something nice.

    Hugs to all x

    Happy New Year - I'm not going to make it to midnight, there's something about New Year's Eve makes me feel sooo tired come 10 pm
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    Happy New Year toughies!

    Pooky, that sounds like a perfect night to me :)

    I have bacterial pnuemonia - I seem to be very susceptible to that kind of thing nowadays. It started with a sore throat on Christmas day but I didn't feel very ill until Boxing day, when I started with deathly chills and felt like I'd been hit by a bus.

    So now I'm on steroids and antibiotics, but I am having a tiny glass of sherry-plonk to bring the New Year in and am in surprisingly good spirits :cool:

    Hope everyone has a very happy and safe night doing whatever their particular cup of tea is :)

    sq we stay in every new year we just play games with the boys and watch films. Perfect for us :)

    Fuddle sent you a text chick wishing you all a fab new year but not sure if you got it. Enjoy tonight

    cc hope the weather stays you can watch the fireworks :)



    Today we went and visited our late friends parents, we stayed for about 3 hours. Laughed joked and watched Narnia. After that went to see my mother, she invited us over for a few drinks but i didn't fancy drinking vodka and coke while the girls were staying. so my sister for a bit then came and watched a film with the lads and OH.

    Not overly exciting but nice and chilled :)
