My latest knitting project-A Red Baby Blanket


I prefer to knit baby blankets in interesting colours because people who knit baby blankets in blue and pink remind me of Manchester United supporters.....lacking in imagination!
Sorry.
We have no snow and I am thrilled because it means that Beauty has gone to school.
However we do have LOTS of miserable,misty rain.

In the last few months I haven't watched a lot of TV.....too busy, too tired,too ill,the 8 year old watching Cbeebies-there was always a reason.Well last night I watched Lark Rise To Candleford on BBC i player, I watched the Christmas episode and it was brilliant. Sheridan Smith played a ghost in it and her acting was brilliant and it brought tears to my eyes.I have only seen her play comedy roles but her acting was so good it made me cry.
Yep, I'm a sap.

Bread withrawl symptoms continue with continuation of healthy eating.You cannot believe how much I miss crusty bread!
Tic Tacs and gum are helping but yes I am a Bread aHolic and the cravings are really bad and no I am being serious.
Thankfullu I have lost just over 5lbs in weight so that is encouraging me to continue.
The weight is going off my tummy rapidly so I have had to take the belt on my jeans in a notch which hopefully means that nobody will think that I am pregnant.

Evidence that I Truly ,Madly,Deeply Llove the 8 year old!


On Saturday I took Beauty to ToysR us even though I hate the shop......the customer services women there is an old witch!
I bought Beauty a Thomas the Tank Engine Aqua Draw AND a High School Musical bag to put it in!
Now that is love,allowing HSM in the house!
Hopefully it will go the way of the hairdryer.....are you reading this girls.
Now that is defintely something you can half-inch(In the words of our cockney Runningman)!

I absolutely love Larkrise and it is the highlight of my week. I've long been a fan of Julia Sawalha but I really like "Emma Timmins". They are such lovely, well rounded stories and characters... pure escapism.

Hey Mum, will you get a skype account so I can call you? I'm banned from using my mobile to call Wales as I racked up a huge bill-oopsie!
Love,

I shall definitely try and load Sype.....AGAIN!

I love Lark Rise and it was one of my favourite books as a child, my mother was brought up on a small holding in the country and it made me think of that.
I personally hve a bit of a 'thing' for the squire,pity he went to London.

An Irish Blessing

(A Blessing from St. Patrick)
May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

May the rains fall soft upon your fields,

And, until we meet again,

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
