Right do I try to run down was has happened in the last 5 months, apart from me being here there and everywhere and just not having the time to update my blog ...

Briefly ... had to go back to the UK end of February as my beloved grandad passed away - bless his soul, came back mid March, 2 weeks later had to go to Hong Kong for an annual dinner with the Ex Servicemens Association, then came back and 2 weeks later had to go back to the UK for work! Since being back it's been pretty full on trying to organise the shipment of 11 filing cabinets to the UK and the day has finally come, they leave Tuesday 13 May - wahoo!

At the moment, it's all up in the air with dates etc for us leaving Singapore, but it's supposed to be sometime in August, we shall have to wait and see.

Everyone is well, Kayleigh has to have a baby tooth removed as the adult one has come up behind it and not pushed it out, so the tooth fairy better be extra special generous on Wednesday night! Both Kayleigh and Lewis had their first Inline Skating lesson on Sunday, Lewis was a bit overwhelmed by it all, but by the end he was standing alone, and managing to get up after falling (how the instructor had taught him) ... bring on the next lesson

I so want to update my blog and make it a bit more flashy, so bear with me as I attempt to do so.

Welcome 2008!

Well, a new year, lets hope it's a good one!! Lots of BIG changes for us to come over the next few months and we shall worry about them when they are upon us. Our time is now short here in Singapore, and I intend on enjoying the rest of my time here!

We do not have a clue where or when we will be leaving just that it'll be July/August time!!

So, what's been happening over the last few months .... far too much, functions, kids school shows, birthday parties, xmas, and a few other hiccups that we will not discuss!

Honest .... I am alive!

OK, I only seem to be posting every month .. how bad is that! Well, the pins are out and sat in the cupboard along with the photos and xrays, already to be scrapped! However, the physio I'm having 3 times a week for 45 mins a time is a KILLER, but we will get there in the end!

Not been upto any scrapping as yet, have started altering Monograms for the kids, once finished will upload too. Have many layouts planned in my mind, may start on some in the next few days but will just have to take my time over them so not to aggrovate my hand!

Geoff had a fab birthday party - Movie Theme, everyone came dressed up, Geoff was Woody, I was Snow White! We also had Fred and Wilma Flintsone, Cleopatra, Zorro, Pochantas, Sandy from Grease, Gladiator and various others. Will have to upload some photos, oh not forgetting Kayleigh and Lewis, Kayleigh decided she was a baddie and Lewis was bob the builder and then a mini woody!

We are all set for christmas, and I must apologise for the impersonal approach to xmas cards this year, unfortunately, I am unable to write!

We Won a Prize in the Lucky Draw!!!


Wahoo, we went to the US Navy Ball last night - what a scream, we danced and drank loads and to top it off Geoff won a prize in the Lucky Draw - it's a Step Cabinet, just got to wait for it to be delivered, once it's here shall take a photo and upload it!

Our next function in early November and the theme is formal but with a twist, 70's theme, guess who we've decided to go as with John and Anita - ABBA, bring on the Flares!

No Excuses

Right - what can I say, sorry I've not blogged in ages, no excuses!

What's been happening - no a lot! Got a ball to go to this Saturday, now my big decision is what colour dress do I wear, pink, blue, purple, black or red - any suggestions!

We've just brought Lewis this new fabby bed, as soon as I get a photo of it I shall upload it, he absolutely loves it!

I've had to hang up my scrapbooking gloves for a wee while, I've torn a ligament in my wrist and find it too sore when setting eyelets, cutting out etc, but it's not stopped me from attending some classes. Once again I shall up load layouts in the next day or two! I am awaiting approval from the powers that be to get an operation on it - shall keep you posted!

Kayleigh and Lewis are loving school and both coming on really well, it's strange hearing Lewis saying his letters. Kayleigh has been selected to play in the Recorder ensemble - god help my ears!

Geoff has booked them in for a free trial in a few weeks at taekwondo (sp!), Lewis is really excited, he's also told us that when he grows up he wants to do what daddy does - how cute, but he's never leaving home!!!!

I've got lots of little projects on the go at the moment too, door hangers for the kids rooms, pencil pot holder for Geoff, loads of layouts planned but unable to do - it's a nightmare!

Anyway, if you read this, I'm running out ot Tetley, can anyone help????

Was on Holiday - Sorry Folks!



OK so I've been back in the UK for the last 3 weeks, then home for a week getting the kids re-adjusted to the time difference, fun - NOT!!!!!

What's happened, Kayleigh's turned 6, I've had a birthday, the kids have gone back to school, and I'm back to work. Off to a Hungry Ghost Festival this evening, out for my birthday on Friday and then Saturday we have tickets to see Funeral for a Friend - no idea who they are, but we shall see!

Have some fabby photos, which I will endeavour to upload shortly, a cracking one of Kayleigh having a wash, and one that I will bring up at Isabella's wedding for definate!

Actually I will try to post those two now to keep you going!
