Aaaaaaaaaaaah. The weekend looms!

This beautiful lady is my mum. Sadly she has alzheimer's but as you can see she is happy in the lovely residential home she lives in. I haven't seen her for a while, last year in fact, so I hope to visit her in the summer. She lives in Scotland which makes it hard to see her often.

This weekend is a long one for me. I am off on Friday pm and all day on Monday. CMM and CMJ are off to London so they'll be with me on Friday night so they can walk to the coach (not far from me) on Saturday morning and then they'll stay on Sunday night when they get back. I have the pampered pom for the weekend. I am looking forward to it. The BAFTAs are on this weekend and I always watch that and in just two weeks OSCAR!

Might go into town on Monday for a mooch. Haven't done that for ages.

Have to go - want to make flapjacks.

Friday!

I do love Fridays and in particular those Fridays when I am only at work in the morning. CMM came to stay last night but is feeling awful, she is blocked up and has earache and a headache. We had a lovely evening but when I left for work she stayed tucked up in bed! Luckily, as I said, I had the afternoon off, so CMM was not alone for long. We watched a movie, played on the Wii and then she chose Macaroni Cheese for dinner. CMJ and I tried to persuade her that this was not the best choice when your current enemy is being mass produced by the mucous membrane but nothing would do but Mac and Cheese. She ate the lovingly prepared food and then went to bed. She is still there, soundo. Poor baby had a lousy night last night, ears were really sore.

My cushion covers have arrived - they match my curtains, my favourite household item (apart from the dishwasher). I haven't been able to find the right cushion covers to go with them and Lo, in the Debenhams sale they were there, from the same range. I didn't even know the range included cushion covers. Luckily and providentially, they were half price, still very expensive but fabulous.

Tomorrow CMM is off to her Dad's for the weekend, so CMJ is picking her up early in the morning. Hope she feels better so she can enjoy her weekend.

So I don't know what I'm doing, nothing planned so maybe just chilling, depends on the weather. I have booked 28 Feb off work, Oscars on in the early hours! but I am disappointed to be along this year. No dressing up etc this year. Will still love it and have a couple of fizzy bottles cooling already.

Loving the new channel on sky. I have not seen any of The Sopranos so am looking forward to that, also Boarwalk Empire and Madmen look great.

Off then, for now. Take care.

Small world!

I have a new cyberspace friend. Willie is following my blog and it's exciting to have a follower - but boy! what a small world. On Willie's blog he tells us that he started out as a Bluecoat at Pontins in Weymouth! Guess where I live? Yep - the very place! Willie loves the Godfather, cooking, family - all the things I love so I'm thrilled to bits to hear from him.

Good day at work - I know it seems impossible but it's true. I am posting a picture of myself, it may be that I'm looking just a little bit holier than I actually am.

Well not in this one, this is me and CMJ at Butlins. Ah cocktails!!

Off to watch the Gypsy weddings, they are amazing!!
