New Year New Start .....1!!

One of my good intentions this year was to take up above the ground and fly to places .... after seeing this I reckon I should strike this location from my list of first flights.....

New Year New Start ..... !!

I am not really someone who does resolutions (despite my list in the last post) ...I have more of a head full of good intentions. Those good intentions I have decided not to think about until I go back to work on the 5th Jan. Although I have already bought  my Special K so I can get into that (or any) skimpy red number in the coming months.




Well here we are in 2011... I was reflecting on 2010 yesterday and the most prevalent thing that sprung to mind was the speed the year passed by and the fact in the 12 months we had almost 3 months of snow, around 2 months of sun so the remaining 7 months must have been 'nothing' weather days. 
This year I am going to keep a written diary again (due to the fact I have been bought a gorgeous one by my teen)... so when I reflect on 2011 I can be more accurate in my assessment of the year.

I was surfing around the interweave earlier as one of my 'good intentions' is to get visiting blogs on a regular basis again (I know I have been rubbish).... and I came across an interesting 'ickle image of me in a side bar of someone's blog ....

I so love it ... thank you GitWizard and your timely nudge has spurred me on to include in my blog going forward  'Knitting pattern of the month'.


Here is January's ... and every couple should have these......;)

Happy New Year 2011

Wishing you all joy, luck, health and wealth in twenty eleven or two thousand and eleven (depending on your preference)


When you read this I will be in a place in the world that is interweaveless... a rare part of the planet these days ... sipping sherry and watching mindless stuff on the TV .....

My New Year Resolutions are probably (or should be) as long as this list 

humpf the scheduled posting of this didn't happen and I can't get it to work ... so Happy New Year and I am still here ... just adding to the resolutions list  'must get with it in 2011 with technology' ;)

Happy Christmas

Just to wish you all love, happiness and a perfect Christmas ... and hope it is the real thing   alternatively just cringe a bit and enjoy the god awful Christmas sweaters with this .....

Day 24 of Advent

YIPEEEE only one more sleep ...... 
There has been a bit of a hic-up on the 70s family Christmas ... the snow has prevented the family from travelling over :( so it is just me a Teen all day. It is a bit of a good/bad feeling ... bad as I won't see my family but good in the fact we can slob around all day in our PJs and eat when we like and lots of it too as I have catered for a house full!! Quite looking forward to it :)


So for the last day of advent there is a bit of an animal theme....I am loving this You Tube clip ... it must have taken them ages to do 




The next animal thing is ' Awkward Family Pet Photos'  there are some classics in there lol


In case you have some spare time to kill over the festivities ... not one game but 95... laid out like Windows... wish I could play these in the office particularly the throwing the paper in a waste bin (with Government cut backs they have removed the real ones from our office .. taking with it hours of fun ;) )

Day 23 of Advent

I am so excited only 2 more sleeps until Father Christmas empties sack !!

I have been to my Mums house today, she has been snowed in for a week, managed to clear the snow from the front of her house so I could get the car in and she can get to the bin... saw the most amazing icicles on more or less every house surrounding where she lives. It is a seaside resort and snow is such an unexpected thing in those parts ...

So for today's advent if you don't click on anything else today click on this simply amazing photography.

Now the game I have not been able to load ... maybe you will have more luck than me ... my cuz CKX has said about this 'My favourite game of the year.You are a pigeon flying and walking around a city – it’s so relaxing just flying about, swooping and soaring.'

Day 22 of Advent

I seem to have skipped a few days here.... but it is no wonder as I (like most people this time of year) have been zipping about preparing for the 'big day'. I finished work yesterday, did a whistle stop shop around the Lowry Centre, picked up Teen from the Trafford Centre (it was horrible the roads were car parks), nipped in to Makro, cooked tea and then went out to the local pub with some girlie mates for our Christmas get together ... very nice indeed. Today has been spent sorting out the Christmas fayre (food shopping with manic people who seem to think there will never be food again ... sigh!), crockery, cutlery etc ..... I am am exhausted.

The games for today are 

An annoying Time Waster game (some may say all games on the net are time wasters)... it has potential if you have time to waste which I don't at the moment 

A puzzle solving game that is quite good and Blosics2 which is excellent 

Weird websites ..... celebrities with short legs - BIZARRE??!!! Animals with their tongues out  and a not so weird web page ... click on the buttons and let Google Earth take you on a mystery tour ... I have been around the world in 80 minutes ....
