Saturday and new hair!!!

Well, here I am again, and enjoying the sunshine we have at the moment - hopefully it will last for a while!!!

We have a hectic day today, the band are doing a fundraising gig tonight and I am worn out already.......it is only 1.15pm and I am stressed over it even though everything is in place - in theory, LOL!!!.........!!!

I have a new hair colour - well highlights to be exact, it is quite radical and different but as I have only just had it done this morning there are no pics yet.......no doubt there will be a few photo's (well......loads to be exact) taken tonight so watch this space!!! Robbie likes it, but then he gets used to me coming home with different things done to my hair..........this is the most different I have ever, in a million eons, had done!!! I only have one problem in that I don't know what I am wearing tonight now.......I was going to wear purple but it may not go well with the new hair colour!!!!

Oh, I forgot to say, I finally got my Landrover in the middle of November.........damn insurance brokers really took the P........but I finally got it - the garage owner was very patient - I am so happy with it and it is so cheap to run!!!

I cannot believe I have managed to get through the last few months without a cold or flu.........perhaps it is because I am eating healthily now and not run down!! Fingers crossed it stays that way!!

Heyho, thats my sit down time over for today, LOL, all 1 hour of it!!! Time to get things ready/sorted for tonight and most importantly to figure out what I am wearing.........which means I will probably still be deciding 5 minutes before I need to go!!!

Take care everyone, love to you all and I will catch up with you all again very soon with a photo or two!!!

Hiya peeps.........yep, I am still around but fast becoming a shadow of my former self!!!! I am currently 31/2 stone lighter than when I last posted, LOL, and feeling pretty good!!! Still a way to go but not giving up this time until I get to my 'desired' weight!!! Plus I am not missing chocolate......which as many of you know I used to love with a passion.....I have not had any since middle of last summer!! Panic not though, I am still as ditzy as ever and plan to stay that way.......I am more confident with myself and I am actually beginning to like me!!!

Our little sweetheart Leah had her first birthday on January 14th, plus she took her first steps on that day as well!!!! She is such a little beauty......I will post some pics next time I post (promise I am back regularly now!!!)

Sascha is almost 1yr old now (1st February) and has turned into a lovely dog - still a puppy as such but a lovely doggy if you know what I mean!!! We still miss Sam as much as ever, but we are sure he is still around.....at least it feels that way sometimes!!

We are heading to Scotland at the end of March for a week, I made a vow towards the end of last year that we MUST have a holiday this year!! So I went a head and booked 2, LOL, Scotland at end of March and Devon mid September!!! I am so looking forward to it.....we need a break to unwind from all the hassle we had in 2008.....it was not a good year for us at all apart from Leah's arrival and Kevin and Lucy's wedding!!

I am definitely giving up the contract with BT as soon as the 18months are up!!! It is a nightmare.....and way too expensive - as usual the small print hides a multitude of sins and the home hub deal we got is not a wonderful as it is made out to be!!! I hate to say it but AOL is looking very good in the equation at the moment despite the problems I had........but I will be investigating big time before I finally change us over this time!!!

Well, time to go and get some lunch - not sure what I am going to have but possibly a salad of some sort!!! Yes a salad on a cold day - my tastes have changed that much and I have given up chips as well - in fact I have hardly eat potato at all now!! TTFN everyone, love to you all
