Charlie and his Chocolate



Good afternoon. My god the sun is hot today. Just sat outside the front door with a Diet Pepsi and a tub of newly-picked Blackberries. Dogs baking themselves in the sunshine on the lawn. Yum yum, I love the sun!

Off to see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" tonight with a friend. Can't wait. Roald Rocks and so does going to the cinema. Must get pick 'n mix.


Spent the day working from home, looking after my oldest dog Dakota who has one of those big plastic "lampshades" on his head to stop him from chewing his stiches out on his leg. Got hit by a car a few weeks back, broke his leg and paw in several places. God old Dakster though, he didn't complain, but went out chasing foxes the day after the accident...(we didn't know it was broken at that time...)

I have just discovered Muller Corner's "Blueberry Manhattan Cheesecake" - A must have!
So yummy.

Ordered myself a gym-ball today with a Pilates video to go with it. Should be fun. Thank god I can hide away in the annexe so that my boyfriend doesn't have to walk in on me, upside down dangling from a big, blue ball. Supposed to be good for bad-back sufferers i.e. me. So we will have to see what kind of magic it can do for me.

Looking forward to next week when Sarah is back from holiday. And I've got paid so I can actually go places with her. The pub for example.

Barbie, Cindy & Kenneth


In about 3 weeks I could be an auntie! I am so excited about seeing my sister-in-law's baby for the first time. Lucky Lorraine. Hope its my turn soon!
We were brainstorming names the other night. Jordan...Bluebell...Rodney... She knows its a girl and has a name or two that are favourites, but still open to suggestions. If anyone has any good ones, please let me know.
Barbie, Cindy and Kenneth...no, not Ken...Kenneth

Aaanyway.

Can't wait to travel to Sweden on the 22 Sept. Staying at my sisters and I am so excited.
Shopping, chatting, eating/drinking, farting and generally just having my sister close again!
Thank the Lord for Ryanair. 40 ding-dongs return.
