Guess what I did today!!

Yes ~ I was very naughty and hit the Sales!! LOL!!

Not alot happening here ~ It is quite quiet ~ just getting ready for New Year ~ cannot believe that 2009 is creeping up on me so fast!!

I will look back on 2008 with fondness ~ all in all it was not a bad year at all. There were alot of changes ~ I think that 2008 was the year that I finally took control of my life again ~ after the break up of my marriage and my divorce ~ moving house and basically starting a fresh! There were times when I thought that I would never get through it all..........but I did ~ and 2008 was definitly a defining year.

I look forward to 2009 with hope and enthusiasm ~ I get the feeling it will be another good year ~ but a year filled with changes ~ it will be the year that Daniel leaves his primary school and moves up to secondary school (or 'big school' as he calls it!!). I have not made any new years resolutions ~ I usually make a whole list and never actually keep any of them ~ so this year I am just going to follow this advice to myself .......Be happy, be who you are ~ be true to yourself and remember that 'ANYTHING' is possible with just a bit of hard work and determination!!

Well, my blogging friends ~ we are spending New Year quietly at home this year ~ and from the temperature outside I think that is probably the best idea (it is totally freezing here!!)

What are you all up to for New Year ~ I would love to know ~ and please let me know what resoultions you have made ~ hopefully you are all alot better at sticking to them than I am

See you all in 2009 ~ I look forward to walking the blogging path right next to you all through this coming year ~ here's hoping it's a happy one!!!

Love and big hugs Tabitha XXX

Daniels Birthday Photos!!

Daniel had a wonderful birthday yesterday ~ he opened his presents in the morning and then we took him out for a birthday lunch!
He then got to spend his birthday money which he had been given by various people ~ he was really happy with his new trainers and football that he bought!!

Daniel holding up the giant 'Portsmouth' flag ~ the team he supports ~ he has wanted on of these for ages ~ he hasn't decided whether he will put it on the wall or on his bed!!
Daniels presents ~ it's like Christmas all over again ha ha !!

You can't see very well ~ but Daniel is wearing the Portsmouth fleece top that I bought for him ~ he is very pleased to have another new football LOL!!

My Precious Boy.......

You are 11 years old today ~ I still remember the day you were born as if it were yesterday,

Looking at your sweet little face and knowing that my life would never be the same again ~ that Motherhood and what lay ahead for us was going to be a great adventure ~ one we would explore together........

You are my first born, my special Boy ~and I love you more than words can ever say.

You have made me so happy and proud over the years ~ you are kind, caring and growing into the most wonderful Young Man. I am so totally blessed you chose me to be your Mummy.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL ~ HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY ~

I LOVE YOU ALL THE SKY ~ ALL THE SEA ~ ALL THE WORLD XXX
