Days gone by...

Well, it's been a little while since I managed to get onto Blogger. Probably more because everytime I wanted to Blog, I couldn't think of anything to blog about! There have been no major issues recently which have caught my attention; nothing I have really wanted to wax lyrical about!

Last week my boss wasn't in work all week, so it was a very quiet week (AKA boring week!) at work. Even though she's now back in the office, it's still very quiet. I have a couple of projects on; but they are not pressing or urgent so things just tick along nicely.

Jon got a new car on Friday last week - as his other had just given up the ghost. We now own a blue Vauxhall Vectra, which is a nice car, and we just pray our guardian angel will continue to push the car around!! It is truly by God's grace that things happen or don't happen - the head gaskett went on the other car; and there's no telling by anyone when that would or could have happened, but God knew and clearly it was the end of the other car's time!

Friday evening after buying the car, we had a lovely time with my Grandparents - we took over a curry to eat with them, which was fun! We introduced Grandma to Pappadoms and Mango Chutney (My alltime favourite snack!) and she enjoyed it!

We had a busy day on Saturday; in the morning we went over to see friends who have just had a baby boy. 3 week old little Alex is gorgeous - spent all of our time there sleeping, however I did still get a long cuddle and to give him a little bit of a bottle; his mummy is very generous! They are amazing parents already and we had a lovely time with them in the morning.

On Saturday afternoon it was our church anniversary service; which started at 3pm. We had a good afternoon, and got to speak to people we don't see all the time.

On Saturday evening I went to see my cousin Cat, who very kindly cut my hair for me (she's a hairdresser!!) and got to catch up with her :o)

Sunday we had Mr VDR back for lunch in the afternoon. It was a strange Sunday, as it was our last at Chelmsley Wood; and that's another blog for another day!

I am looking forward to this week, as we are at friends for tea tonight and tomorrow night, and then on Sunday we have the girls and Mum at our house as it is mother's day. I am going to cook Roast Pork, Roast Chicken, Stuffing, Roast Parsnips, Roast Potatoes, Boiled New Potatoes, Carrots, Broccoli and Gravy. Yum! Jon and I went to Asda with Jo and Nicole last night, and while we were there we picked out pudding for Sunday lunch. Asda have a great offer on! £3 for 4 puddings! So as there were 4 of us, we picked 1 out each, Lemon Tart, Rhubarb Crumble, Cherry Pie and Chocolate Brownie Pudding.... needless to say I am looking forward to Sunday lunch!
