happy birthday..

A month of celebrations..happy birthday Mum! happy birthday me and happy birthday Lois!

'tis the season..

Christmas is almost here, so I though I'd get the gallery looking 'Christmassy'. And if I don't say so myself it looks pretty damm cozy, all I'm missing is a fireplace with stockings and roasting chesnuts....

my fiddly fellows masterpiece

This has been a real challenge to complete. Not only have I had to improvise several details in the picture it has taken well over a week to complete. In all honesty I never thought I'd get it done for the time my customer said he wanted it for..but it has by all means been worth every minute. I'm obviously gonna brag about this one cause it is the most challenging piece I have yet undertaken..so I am simply and rightly proud of it.

Happy Birthday Peter Pan!

Phil's 40th....in fancy dress!!

Spooks night and us pumpkins

Dan came home for good at the end of last month, it's so nice to have my big brother back again. We've spent some quality time together already and done some serious catching up. All he has done is catch up with sleep, food and music!

So Dj-ing at Elaine's halloween/house party was the perfect to 'warm up is decks'. Elaine put on a nice buffett, was slightly dissapointing on her behalf that many didn't turn up but I expalined that the most important ones were there...and they were. What a good night, Dan's music, small crowd = perfect evening!

I was the designated driver so I stuck to pepsi's while Dan and Rick got off their heads on guiness and fosters! Was good to see Dan enjoy himself and being in his element doing what he does best..he was so good Elaine and Adam have booked him for her 40th next May!

Then a few of us headed to town where we finished off our spooky party with more dancing and drinking! Looking forward to the pirate costume next week at Phil's. Then more partying the week after at Tommy's Argos acheivement! All this partying will kill me one day...but enjoying it!!!!!

in my life

Having rekindled my love affair with The Beatles I thought I'd print one of my most beloved songs written by John Lennon..I'm in one those moods!

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no'one, compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something you
Though I know I'll never lose affection
The people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Oh I know I'll never lose affection
The people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
In my life, I love you more

staying home

I can't believe I've been off work for over a week now. I've had a virus, didn't see the doctors, just pumped myself full of para's and lemsips, but really had no energy and a pounding headache. It's only just starting to ease. Just as well it's been quiet at work, only went in one day middle of last week to take an order and even then Mum came with me for a couple of hours...oh well next day or so I'll be right as rain. *sigh*
