Bring Me Sunshine :O)

Went to Tesco this morning, managed to get 2100 points (or £84 towards my holiday) :O)

Got home and the weather was so beautiful we decided to go for a walk down into Sandown. Walked along the seafront and had a Mr Whippy ice-cream and as we walked back Andrew spotted this little fella sat on the fence, singing away. He was obviously enjoying the sunshine as much as we were. Got home just in time to pick Elena up from drama. Gemma came round too and had lunch with us. Elena had a bit of a practice on her guitar. Elena had another show at the Roman Villa in Brading tonight. Alan Titchmarsh was supposed to be the guest of honour but didn't turn up *tut* Teresa said she hopes his daffodils wilt ROFL.

Me & Gem have been organising our trip up north. OMG we are so excited we can't wait. Gem's made me a counter for my blog. It's counting down the days until we go.

We have to split ourselves in 2 for the week so we will spend a few days with Claire & a few days with Teresa. This is what we have planned ...
Saturday ~ travelling & a walk along the Buxworth Canal
Sunday ~ Buxton, Pavillion Gardens & maybe the museum
Monday ~ Jodrell Bank
Tuesday ~ Lyme Park & Stockport to get a pork pie from Tittertons, yummy!
Wednesday ~ travelling to Teresa's :O)
Thursday ~ Hardwick Hall
Friday ~ Ikea
Saturday ~ Creswell Crags

Dying Changes Everything

OMG I've just watched Episode 1 of the new series of House ~ Dying Changes Everything & I don't want Wilson to go :O( I'm sure he won't but then I was sure that Daniel wasn't dead in Stargate lol. www.sidereel.com/House

It wasn't as emotionally charged as the Season 4 finale but I still enjoyed it. It's really strange though. I don't know if the writers intended the story line of House & Wilson to be the most prominent part or whether it was me being more interested in their relationship than the actual case. I started watching House because I loved the puzzle & how each one was solved but now I care more about the characters personal lives (shock) I hope I'm not going to turn into a soap addict after all these years of boycotting stuff like Coronation Street & Eastenders!!!

Last night I received an e-mail from Lisa with photos of her room now she's sorted it all out. Loving the new Ikea shelves Lisa but OMG that's the biggest indoor TV aeriel I think I've ever seen. It looks like something out of Mork & Mindy ~ Mork calling Orson, come in Orson lol . Only kidding, as long as you can watch TV sweetie xXx

She sent me a text message the other day too ... Good morning Mum. Would you please be able to e-mail Liam your CV because he needs 2 do one for his course. Miss you lots & love you 2 the end of the universe & back send my love to Dad & Elena tb xxx ... My heart melted :O)

Found a secondhand guitar on Wightbay last night too (The islands answer to e-bay) so I'm taking Elena to look at it after school. It's only £10 and looks very similar to the one my Dad had years ago.

Guitar Lessons

At High School the teachers encourage out of school activities. This, in my opinion, is a great idea. Elena is so laid back I'm sure a bomb under her at times would not get her moving any faster lol so encouragment from school is very welcome. Don't get me wrong, she looks after her hamster Monkey & her 2 fish Spongebob & Gary with the upmost care. She bakes and helps around the house & she goes to drama on a Saturday morning. As some one her loves her very much I want her to mix with children her own age, to have fun like I did when I was 13. So she has enquired about trampolining at school and tonight a teacher phoned me to say she's been picked to have guitar lessons. Cool, all I have to do is pay £95 for 30 minute lessons or £65 for 20 minute lessons! After I got over the shock I duly wrote a cheque for the said amount and handed it to her. Brian May, watch this space lol.

One down One to Go

Yep, Liam has left us :O(

It hasn't sunk in yet & then, if that isn't bad enough, I've just booked the car ferry for Saturday. This week we have to help Lisa get organised for Uni. She is really looking forward to going back & being with her friends again which I'm pleased about. I'm sure they'll both have an amazing time :O)
