Yes I've been lazy again, just haven't felt the urge to do any blogging these past two weeks. Not a great deal has happened so it'll probably be brief!
3rd October was my birthday (urgh!) another year older and now only two years away from the big 4 0. I don't bother celebrating birthdays much, the last party I had was for my 21st but I am planning to have one for my 40th - and it'll definitely be fancy dress! My work colleagues spoilt me with gifts including 4 dvds, 2 autobiographies, chocs, Body Shop moisturiser, diary/pen, a giftbox to sponsor a giant panda, and a monkey keyring. I also received footie tickets (for the game 1/10) and clothes from Johnny, a casual shirt from my parents, money from my Nan, mud pack/moisturiser from my friend Suk and some Body Shop stuff from my brother.
12th October during my lunch break, I visited my friend Ellie who has just had a baby boy. She only lives about 8 minute's walk away from work so it's very handy. She had the baby on 1st October and to be induced three times before he would come out (yuck). He weighed a very healthy 8lb 10oz and is as yet nameless. Ellie and her partner Simon have narrowed it down to either Coby or Drew, the latter being favourite but I can't say I like either. Still it's their choice. He is very cute I must say and I managed to get a cuddle after Mummy fed him. Her 2 & 1/2 year old Dylan was running around like a looney-he was making me feel exhausted just watching him. However, Ellie said he is very protective of the baby and there's no jealously at all which is good.
On Friday 13th, I invited the girlies (Mad Al, Groomie and Samuelo) around for a "trip down memory lane" themed evening. Everyone brought old family photos and we reminisced about awful fashions, toys, hairdos and large spectacles, amongst other things. I think I was voted unanamously as having the worst outfit (purple suit) & the worst enormous glasses, although I think Groomie deserved the latter award!! We also talked about how work has changed over the years, three of us having been with the firm for over 20 years. It was a fun evening.
This is the start of my week's leave from work (hoorah!) and John is off too. We are decorating the hall, stairs and landing (at last) and hope that the new fresh neutral colours will brighten it up a bit. Barring tomorrow when we have a day in London with a show in the evening, all week will be dedicated solely to DIY. I'll post some pics once it's finished.
Well that's it for now - told you it'd be brief! Oh what an interesting life I lead! :-)
