  • Well I had well and truely fallen off the WW bandwagon and found that I am now 2stone above my goal weight – eek.  I sat on the bus home thinking Oh My God!  It wasn’t the figures on the scales – they were exactly what I expected but what I can’t figure out is…

  • I don’t like to make resolutions but I do make lists of good intentions.  Unfortunately for me we all know about good intentions 😦 Anyway Christmas is always December 25th so why this year did it take me as such a surprise?  My preparedness was lacking to say the least and that is such a…

  • We’re not really.  The we in question is myself and my parents and we’re off to Waterford.  My original notion behind this weekend was I’ve to visit my two grandmothers and give out presents and cards.  As the folks were heading I’m getting a lift from them.  One of the reasons for the folks visit…

  • I know that this is supposed to be the place that makes me smile etc but I thought I’d put this in just as a memory anyway.  This morning I failed my driving test – hence the no.1 in the title.  I’ve applied to do it again so we’ll see.  I seemed to do ok…
