Neglected!!!!

Yes, I am still in the land of the living........here is a photo to prove I am really still alive!! I know, I know ~ I have soooo neglected my blog and I am very sorry!!! I am afraid that I have something to admit to you all............I have an addiction.......I am trying to get help for it.........but I am totally adicted to.............Facebook (LOL)!!!!!

So, what have we been up to here??

It has been a few weeks full of happy moments and a few sad ones too!

We said goodbye to one of the little girls that I look after ~ she is moving to Germany with her parents and we will miss her so much. We had a little picnic in the garden for her to say goodbye!

I received a wonderful card and another Willow Tree figure to add to my collcetion ~ it is just lovely!!

I also received a birthday card from my Blog friend Tania and a lovely little card.

Thank you so much Tania ~ it is gorgeous and I have worn it today ~ it looks great!!

We also celebrated Andys birthday on the 8th ~ he had a really great day and we went for a meal in the evening ~ which was really nice ~ we don't get much time together ~ just the 2 of us ~ so it was a special evening!!

Here is the cake that I had made for Andys birthday.......I wish that I could lie to you and tell you that I made it......but I didn't ha ha ~ my friend Joan made it for him ~ it was very very yummy!!

The children are making the most of their school holidays and thankfully the weather has been quite hot, so they have managed to get out in the fresh air and sunshine quite alot.

They are back at school during the first week of September ~ so before then I have to kit them both out with new school uniforms and shoes ~ Daniel needs a school blazer as he is moving up to senior school.

I am counting down the days until I am going away with Andy ~ the chidren are (hopefully) going away with their Dad and we have 4 days away together ~ just the 2 of us ~ believe me.....I really need the break!!!!

I have the day off tomorrow ~ no children to look after ~ apart from my own 2 ~ so I am going to have a day of.......cleaning!! I do not get the chance to have a really good clean ~ so it will be out with the polish and duster and this place will get a much needed summer clean (as I have totally missed spring ha ha !!).

Well, best be off ~ have a pile of ironing the size of a small mountain to get done (yuck!).

See you all again soon XXX
