I am deliberating just what I should commit to for this years New years resolution... I thought about giving up chocolate but then mmmmm perhaps that would be far to hard on the family as at least once a month I crave chocolate with a passion (the rest of the time I'm really not bothered about it) I know wow, so then I thought about what else I could do, so I have narrowed the list to a few possibilities ...........

1. Be better at recyling
2. Try and do at least one good deed or kind thing every day.
3. To write the recipe book thats floating round in my head
4. LOL to keep on top of the ironing (not sure I could achieve this .........(my most hated chore) 5. To be a better friend
6. To grow more of my veggies
7. To actualy stop and listen to what friends are saying
8. To learn one new word a week - mind you need to learn to spell
9. To spend more time doing the things I love
10. To keep dreaming

Well i think some of them are achieveable - deff not the ironing, its the one thing I really cant stand doing, to the point that if I had enough money I would pay someone to do it!

Well one more day to decide which to choose, but in the mean time I better get back to organising the party for New Years Eve.

Well after having a very fun filled christmas, my son and I decided to have a cup of tea this morning, lets make a pot I said. So like a willing helper my son lifted down two cups out of the cupboard and flicked the switch on the kettle. Mum pass me the milk, which I did ,but I wasn't watching as he has made many a cup of tea before, but to my delight he has now found a new way to make a "POT" of tea .............. you put the tea bags in the pot followed by the sugar and milk then lastly add the water and brew to perfection, well that is of course if you want all those ingredients in your morning cuppa !!!! I am just off to try this new invention and if a success we will perhaps market the idea lol Hope you all enjoy your morning cuppa as much as we do x

Well i feel quite proud of myself rather than my usual dash to wrap all the presents on Christams Eve I sat last night with a large glass of wine and wrapped the lot ..... whooohooo

I suppose this will leave me with the dilemma of, what do I now do the night before Christams... well I still have the pleasure of staging the house for my son..... oh I do love to go to town on all the little surprises,( and for fear of anyone of a certain age seeing this, you will have to perhaps use your imagination so illusions are never spoilt)

Well my son is now off school and getting very excited about the whole thing, even at the age of 9 he still believes in the magic of Christmas and for that I am very gratful as I fear some of my friends children, even though of the same age will spill the beans!! lol

What a lovely start to the festive season, Breakie twice on the row with all my favourite friends, I dont need to eat for the rest of the week now lol.

I hope everyone has a very Merry christmas and that all there wishes come true.

This is a thankyou to a very good friend of mine, who popped over this morning and cheered me up just with a simple smile and a big cuddle................ THANKYOU.

And well after a great breakie and a mug of tea who wouldn't be feeling better lol

Today I could just walk and walk to know where in particular, just keep going, time to me, to escape from the pain he always causes.

It really doesn't matter what I do or how hard I try it always ends up as my fault, why do I sit there and let him get away with passing the buck, do I really want such a life? I'm not sure I have any fight left in me, after years of having the stuffing knocked out of me (so to speak)and bulls**t, why can't I be bothered to fight back, to stand tall and say "hey get a grip on reality and deal with it". I'm dashing round cleaning the house, but its not a home or is it just me that feels that? perhaps they see things different. I wonder how much cr*p I will take before I totally flip, but that's me, I just take it and take it till I totally loose it.

It's such a beautiful day today, blue sky, sunshine and a crips winters day, I love this time of year but once again he has managed to spoil Christmas for the 9 year on a row, but for my son, I will stand tall and make it another wonderful time, whist all the time deep inside me I will cry about all the memories of mine he spoils each year with his thoughtless behaviour.

Well the season of festive cheer is upon us and as usual everyone seems to be going mad!! Why do my family have this need / desire to try and be the one who buys the biggest or most expensive present, cant they actually get a reality check and realise that its about the thought.

Sorry rant over its just that I sometimes wonder where all this modern technology has got us? Do we really have things easier than the good old days! (I think not) Life seems to travel now at such a fast pace, when did we forget to slow down and listen and see whats going on around us, when did we stop caring about our neighbours?

I spent this morning with 30 or so children walking to school singing carols, every morning for the past year a little old man and his wife have waved to the kids so on Thursday we plan to set off earlier and stop outside his house and sing them a carol.... thats what Christmas is all about the little things, time taken out to make someone smile, to bring someone a little joy.

Yesterday was why I love winter. It started out a cold crisp day but by lunchtime the blue sky darkened and the showers started, but to my amazement I looked up and saw the most perfect rainbow. I've only ever seen one other full rainbow in my life but this one topped it. It got me thinking about all the things we do in our lives that are connected to old wives tales ........... you know what I mean, pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, never step on the cracks in pavements, dont walk under ladders (although I can see the sense in that one ) and so was wondering about what the new ones would be when my son grows up??

Now a friend of mine loves to give a bottom a good spank (in a fun way!!!!) Sometimes it can come quite sharpe when you are not expecting it, so this got me wondering about why people love pain for pleasure? what is it that they are trying to achieve, what feeling is it that they are trying to evoke?? mmmm that one i shall ponder some more.

Tis the season to be jolly........ and wow what a great time I am having !! life is such a great big adventure full of surprises and opportunities to be grasped with both hands. Sometimes I think I need to slow down, but with so many great things to try or achieve, why waste a second!

SUNDAY

I woke up early on Sunday morning, the house was still cold as the heating hadn't clicked on yet. I snuck out of bed and went downstairs to start breakfast for my son and do a few jobs before going off shopping for the day. I wanted to leave by 9.30 and I knew my only problem would be getting H out of bed ( he has a great knack of being able to sleep all day and night) but somehow with innner determination I had accomplished it, son fed and H up, perhaps not with it but at least conscious!!. So off I went shopping for the day......

I drove straight to my friends house and was greeted with a warm welcome before heading off into town. A fun couple of hours mooching round various shops including a a couple of sexy ones!!! Well I did need to make a few new purchases of toys, a girl can never have enough ( or is that just me lol) anyway we headed back to my friends house and no good having new toys if you dont test them out ....... WOW three new toys just blew my mind as well as a very good friend to share them with, and so for the next few hours I was sent to another planet one where nothing mattered,the planet where your whole body shakes and your legs tremble and you feel like your in a dream, perhaps I was? Did I wake up and it was all just that a dream or did I really have such a fantastic day of fun with a friend?.......
