MERRY XMAS AND A FAB NEW YEAR!!!

Greebo sends you lots of mews and cuddles, and hopes that 2007 shall be the purrfect year for you xxxx


Greebo patiently waited for Santa Paws (see what I did there?)



Happy New Year everyone! D and I had a cracking time, and we hope you did too.


We blasted off by visting Karen and Stef down in Shropshire, and we had a lovely weekend. I wanted to return the next week, as there was a reunion of the Dorchester club, but we couldn't afford it. Not after the central heating boiler broke and cost £325 to be fixed 10 days before Xmas!

Stef, KC, me (oh dear) and D .....................................Stef & KC...the New Boosh?




D and I then saw the 'Gang' on Xmas Eve out in Blackpool, as has been tradition for 8 years now.


It was abit sad as Andrea is moving to Portsmouth next week to be nearer Lee when he comes home on leave from the Navy. It's been killing him driving up the M6 all that way when he docks returning from active service months away from home. Plus he hopes to be able to request Shore duties in a few years, so it makes sense to live where you'll eventually find your Shore job anyway!

Andrea and err...me.

She seems really used to the idea now, and excited about her new job and househunting! So we wish Andrea and Lee all the best with moving to Pompei- will miss you babe but we'll keep in touch!

Christmas Day

Dad came over for Xmas dinner at 3.30,


after we returned from seeing Darren's family and pressie swapping! Jake, D's nephew- and Godson- is super cute- only 17mth old but soo intelligent!

A lovely Christmas Day was had by all.

Hogmany

We saw 2007 in with Ann and Tez, after a lovely Chinese restaurant meal in town, followed by a few drinkies in the pubs afterwards. Lee and Dee dropped by for a few jars, before Ann Tez, D and I picked up Charlotte from John and Lynn's, and saw in another new year in Woodland Grove. Possibly for the last time, as they plan to move this year.

Yep there are alot of changes to get used to in this New Year, 2007...and I'm sure they will be all positive!!!

Wishing everyone a grand New Year,

hugs

Glad to know that your Christmas and New Year (Hogmany) were pleasant, happy and healthy. Lovely to see Dad looking so well.
Our Christmas was very quiet with sister Marg & Joseph in Healsville.
Jo was not well and ended up in the Box Hill hospital with Heart problems. Has a vry weak heart and hope can be controlled with medications. Better news was that he came home New Years Eve so Ron adn I spent New Year with them both. Watched the fireworks on the telly and was in bed by 10past 12. Been there, done that.

Great nice, Sarah, is in Germany at the moment on scholarship and she has a blog or journal and have just finished logging on to that.
These things are wonderful. Til next time, Love to all
