Seems Minti has had an explosion of new members this weekend in America, how exciting!!  I am hoping to find time tomorrow to send out welcomes, maybe anyone who reads this might like to extend a message of friendship and welcome to these people as well.  For now, I am off to bed ... thank you my darling nephew ... seems I have fought too long to no effect, and I have no energy left to fight this cold. 

For those of you in the UK, I hope you are all having a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend and that tomorrow will be a great day of fun and quality family times. 

Emmie, Happy Birthday for today babe ... so sorry I couldn't come through after all that ... shall come through soon as though.

Peace

OK, I have just managed to clear about a bilion minti mails  (actually only about 112) and there were a few nominating me for foto tag that happened earlier this year ... sadly I cannot retrieve the pic it would have been as this is a brand new computer and i only have a couple of pics on here so far, however, had I access to my acres of pictures and images in my other computer it would have been some random border that can be used to decorate the various things i used to make ... shall have to load the software on this pooter and continue with that again ... will be a good way to pass those lovely long summer evenings. 

Having said all that I have just peeked into my picture album and this is what I have come up with ... lol!  My darling nephews, playing nicely together on the decking out the back of their apartment.

Now I must get on with after school things ... take care y'all.

When we got home from school today E turned around to me very seriously and informed me that it would not be a good idea to buy a flowery headband, or even to wear one.  Considering this statement was prefixed by our scintilating conversation about what we were going to eat this evening I was off balance and required an explanation. 

Well, the bees might mistake us for blossoms of course! 

Naturally, lol. 

Well, now I am heading off to bed.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, we intend to do nothing much at all.  Shall see how that works out.

Peace

At last I got my new computer ... so I can again be on minti sometimes and other places too ... though having a computer that didnt work very well for so long has given me so much freedom ... I am torn.  I miss my friends and family who I keep in touch with online, but i have really enjoyed the other things I have been doing to keep my time occupied ... guess I shall see as time goes on. 

So far this year has been eventful for us in many ways ... our oven 'smoked out' as in one stage off from blowing up in January/February, so we have had to learn to be even more imaginative and economical with our meals and all the firemen were there in their big yellow protective suits.  Birthday cakes were bought (for the first time since E was born) oh how sad that was ... and we have been travelling around locally, nationally and internationally visiting friends and family.  Something that will continue through the year and at some point in the future we will definitely be moving home, so we are saving up for that as well and clearing debts (something that even in this economic crisis should be completed by the end of this year!!!). 

My job is fantastic and I don't see that changing.  Really liking being in my chosen field as well as the bonus of being paid for it and still being able to do the other things I enjoy, such as helping out at the school. 

Big shout out now to my LB sis-in-law, i love you mate.  Thanks for such a wonderful time together,  it was more precious than words allow, and to the rest of the family ... you are all wonderful.  Big hugs to each of you.

Well, I am tired and back to work again tomorrow,
Peace
