update

I haven't posted for a while as I have been busy so need to get up to date!
Had a great girlie weekend in Spain -lots of sun, sea and sangria. The best day was when we went to the beach -a whole day on a lounger -bliss. No cooking -we ate out every night. Its definately something that we will do again!. There a couple of rather unflattering pictures of me in a swim suit -i'm not posting these here!!
Been a quiet time since we got back. Been feeling under the weather -very cold and shivery
Started my christmas shopping have got some presents so pleased about that. Been busy filling up my store cupboard: Made picallili, sour pickles, carrot chutney, tomato chutney, courgette chutney, pickled onions, pickled cabbage, blackberry jam, marrow jam, rhubarb jam, strawberry jam, plum and nectarine jam, apple and blackberry jam, 3 fruit marmalade and grapefuit and cranberry marmalade. Yummy! some will be presents for family, rest for us to eat.
We also made our christmas cake i read the recipe and Gordon and Christopher mixed!. A true family affair! xmas puddings next!!
Started a new project in the house. We are sorting out the dumping ground that is our study. We are clearing it out, getting rid of 2 out of 4 of the desks (if anyone wants some computer desks let me know!!). Then we are going to put in a sofa and a tv and make it our tv room.
The next project after that will be our lounge. I want to paint the fireplace wall purple but need to convince Gordon!!
Spent a wonderful day shopping with my sister Angela and my neice Amber. Can't wait till its Ambers birthday next weekend as have some great presents for her. Really enjoyed spending time with Angela -we haven't been too close in the past but recently have been building a new relationship with each other.Love you lots little sis!
