I need a Wii......

Have you guys played with a Wii - fun or what! Well I've decided we need a Wii.

I didn't want to get it for Sam for Christmas, as he has one at his Dad's house (so it didn't seem the right pressie from us).

So I have been saving points at work (what do points make - prizes - or in this case high street vouchers!) and decided to cash them in for Debenhams vouchers to buy a Wii.

Sounds good, oh yeah, everywhere seems to have them back in stock apart from - oh you guessed it - DEBENHAMS. I keep phoning to check, but they even have a recorded message now, saying 'we have no stock of Nintendo Wii's - nor do we expect any shortly' Oh deep joy!

Funny!

THE video as promised.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!

Here it is......Lorraine's 40th Fancy Dress Party.....

What a night....

It was my work Christmas Party last night - sorry no photo's yet -I will try and get hold of some and then post them on here. As usual it was at The Petwood Hotel and as usual it was a formal black tie job for the lads and ball gown/cocktail dresses for the girlies. This year we had over 220 people. Fantastic night - lots of awards! (some going to our office - well done Jamie and Pete!!) - lovely meal - free flowing booze - no expense spared and everyone had a great time! Although, I imagine there are a few 'very' sore heads today (Chris being one!)

40th Fancy dress...invite...

Ooo now I'm excited, I've ordered my costume!
Oh sorry, forget to say - Sissy-in-Law is 40 on the 29th December!
She is having a fancy dress party! (as you can see from the blog we've had a few this year!)
The theme is Disney and cartoon characters! So off we went yesterday to the hire place, which was an Aladdin's Cave of goodies.
Anyway to cut a long story short, Chris is Scooby Doo! and I'm one of the 101 Dalmatians! Fab or what - and oh yes we look very silly.
Watch this space shortly after the 29th for evidence!!

Agony......!!

Ouch! I've done my back in!
I thought I would share this info with you all - just to see if I get any more sympathy, than seems to be available at home.
It's alright for them when they get 'man-flu'!!
I twisted by back last week and it had started to get better, then me being me - was a bit bored at work on Sunday (as everyone else was obviously Christmas shopping!) decided to move a few boxes!
OH YEAH REALLY BAD IDEA.
I'm back to square one - only it's even more painful this time.

Christmas is coming....

Sorry for the lack of blogging! It's just been hectic!

Christmas is just around the corner, I started my shopping in October and have almost finished. I must admit, a lot has been done on-line this year. I have 1 more major shopping trip with sissy-in-law next Wed - we're off to Lincoln for the day!! Must be a serious shop as she is driving, because she said there is not enough room in the boot of my Mini!!

I went shopping with Laura from work last week, we spent all day shopping and eating, our feet were killing us - but we did manage to get quite a lot done. (thanks Laura - great day really enjoyed it!!)

Wedding front cover.

This is the front cover from my wedding album, we got married out in Cyprus in 2003.
The ceremony took place in a sunken stone courtyard, we were surrounded by all the flowers shown. (I'm sure everyone thought I was mad - wanting photo's of the flowers - but I knew what I had planned)
This was one of my very first layouts.

Eden Hall Day Spa

Ooooooo....lovely relaxing day at Eden Hall Day Spa. Yesterday, me and a couple of the girls from work, were treated to a day at Eden Hall by one of the Companies we deal with. In total there were 17 of us from various Companies and what a fantastic day.
We arrived at 9am and didn't leave until 6pm. We spent the day relaxing in the pool and using many of the lovely Spa facilities on offer, some ladies had pamper treatments. We had a wonderful 3 course lunch with wine (which just made me want to sleep!).
We finished our day with fresh fruit juice cocktails in the most gorgeous conservatory.
What a place!!

The Zombie and The Pumpkin!

Lorraine and Kuno - dressed to impress!
