Poorly

Been poorly now for ten days :( with sickness and diahorrea bug. I was off work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but have been back ever since. I had hope to shake the last of the bug this weekend but I still feel absolutely dreadful. Blargh!

Other news, I had my first viewing (of my house) on Saturday which was exciting. A woman around my age who has a small son.

So So Sad!

Stephen Gately (Boyzone) sadly passed away in Majorca last week, aged 33.

I have been watching the funeral procession on Sky News tonight - really sad!

'We are completely devastated by the loss of our friend and brother, Stephen. We have shared such wonderful times together over the years and were all looking forward to sharing many more. Stephen was a beautiful person in both body and spirit. He lit up our lives and those of the many friends he had all over the world. Our love and sympathy go out to Andrew and Stephen's family. We love you and will miss you forever, Steo.' From Ronan, Keith, Mikey & Shane

Truth

I want...

Mum and Dad always said "I want, never gets" but I can't help but say I really want a KINDLE from Amazon.....

For those that know me, I will leave a suitable pause for the inevitable GASP!

Yup I want a Kindle. I never ever ever EVER thought I would rather read from a 'computer' than a book but the final straw (besides my inital attraction and interest in Kindle and being a gadget-girl) is reading my HEAVY lump of a book "The Lost Symbol" (I'm enjoying the book but lawwdy it's HEAVY!)

So I'm saving ......

Chris Young ...

Isn't this a lovely surprise to come home too!!!

Thanks Christy! Mwah!

For Sale

I am selling my house ... yup! I have seen a new riverside apartment in the city that I want to buy (the apartment building is built but the individual apartments aren't fitted out) so I've started the process of selling my much-beloved home.

Last week I had two Realtors come and view and value my home and I chose a Real Estate Agent. She's fabulous and I think she'll do the best job!

To sell your home in England, you have to have a HIPs (Home Improvement Pack) and I had the first part of the process done on Tuesday night.

My Agent came back tonight to take the photos and fingers crossed the signs will be up soon and the listing online sooner :) Watch this space!

I love this drink!

I love this flavoured still water - made from fruit and clouds :-)
This is the lemons, lime and spring water one and I loooooooooooooooooove it! Yummo!

My Tea Tonight...

Some yummy "Witches' Brew" Soup (pumpkin & tomato). I've never tried it before but I am in a soup mode and this also helps support the Bat Conservation Trust (no bats were harmed in the making of this soup!)

Speaking of TV....

It's back! My favourite TV show ever .... (combined with it's sister show 'It Takes Two'), Strictly Come Dancing! I like SO many of the couples this year too. Woo hoo!!!

I can't wait to see them all live in January when Marleen, Jo, Mum and I see them in Sheffield. EEEK!

I know it's oh-so-wrong but ....

I'm addicted to America's Next Top Model (Series 12)!

I've never watched it before but it's always talked about in TV shows etc so when the new season aired here in England, I thought I'd watch one episode out of curiosity .... and MAN!, I'm hooked! LOVE IT!

It's fierce!
