Hurricane Fay ~ Go Away!

Just wanted to say how relieved I am to know Chris and all her friends & neighbours in Florida are OK after Hurricane Fay. I think there are many who aren't so my heart goes out to them all. I hope that everything gets back to normal soon for all those affected by the storms. We don't know how lucky we are in this country even though we moan constantly about the weather.

Talking of moaning, I shall never do it again when a wasp flies in through the back door and we try our up most to kill it. I hate the damn things, maybe a hangup from being stung on numerous occasions as a child, I don't know. BUT, I would rather have a wasp in the house than an alligator swimming down the street!!! Yep, in some flooded parts of Florida alligators have been seen swimming down the streets, OMG can you imagine! Wellington boots would be no match for a gater, as you wadded through flood water, would they. I wonder if 'Crocs' would be any better? Last but not least I found this (If you don't like rude jokes, please don't read anymore)
WHICH PART OF YOUR BODY GOES TO HEAVEN FIRST?

The nun teaching Sunday School was speaking to her class one morning and she asked the question, "When you die and go to Heaven...which part of your body goes first?"
Suzy raised her hand and said, "I think it's your hands." "Why do you think it's your hands, Suzy?" Suzy replied, "Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first." "What a wonderful answer!" the nun said.

Little Johnny raised his hand and said, "Sister, I think it's your feet." The nun looked at him with the strangest look on her face. "Now, Little Johnny, why do you think it would be your feet?"
Little Johnny said, "Well, I walked into Mommy and Daddy's bedroom the other night Mommy had her legs straight up in the air and she was saying, "Oh ! God, I'm coming, I'm coming!" "If Dad hadn't pinned her down, we'd have lost her fer sure."

The Nun fainted.

Clubcard Virgin

Oooo I'm so excited, Mr T has sent some clubcard points, quite a few actually ;O) Now comes the hard bit of converting them all into money to spend in the Virgin catalogue. This is what I'm contemplating, what do you think? It's a little Island called Chaaya Lagoon Hakuraa Huraa. It's a 140km seaplane transfer from the airport at Male in the Maldives. It looks like a little slice of heaven doesn't it :O) I'm hoping it's small enough to walk round in a day lol. The girls want us to leave Elena at home because we are going there for our Silver Wedding Anniversary but I don't think she's old enough to leave on her own & Andrew wants a snorkling/diving partner and I don't breath underwater even with the use of a snorkle or breathing masky thing. I have tried but it feels as if someone is trying to suffocate me.

Now if that wasn't fantastic enough I have a second holiday planned later on in 2009 ~ Florida. My gorgeous cousin Chris has offered to bake us in Floridian sunshine & bring ice cold drinks to us complete with little umbrellas :O) In return we hope to do our fair share of washing up etc. Now anyone that reads this today has to hope & pray that the Hurrican about to hit Florida is a mild one and that Chris and all her friends & neighbours stay safe. We're all thinking of you sweetie xXx
