Mother's Day

I hope all you yummy mummies out there had a fabu day yesterday, and that your offspring showed suitable appreciation for all you do - or that at least daddy remembered to get you a box of choccies on their behalf!

I went to a bead fair in Chester with 'im indoors (Mini Mint went to church with nanna and gan-gan). I was very good, and kept well within my budget - although having a 'budget' for beads is a bit nuts. At the moment I seem to be buying more than I'm using, which is not good, but they're just so pretty - I can't resist.

I got a lovely surprise yesterday from 'im indoors. Namely a gorgeous, pearlescent pink laptop!

Yes - I have a pink laptop, and tis a beautiful thing. I intend to connnet to t'interweb via Wi-Fi, so I'll be able to get on line any where in Tilly Towers - or in the garden if I want, come the summer. Which will be much nicer, and handier with a Mini Mint.

Another Birthday under my belt

3rd March heralded my 38th birthday, which thankfully went without too much of a fanfare - I did receive a call from my mother, but I ignored it... I haven't spoken to her since November 05, and I don't intend to start any day soon.

I got lots of lovely pressies, including:- flowers, three CDs, chocolates, a beadworking book, the QI book and a bead shop voucher - not a bad haul at all. I'm blessed.

I also received yesterday, a big box of chocolate from my 'candyswappers' partner. Ay carumba, but there was some good stuff in that box. There was a ginger/dark chocolate bar that I ate in one sitting, it was truly scrumptious. I've managed to save some of the other stuff for tonight/whenever. It was hard going though. :o)
