What are YOU doing for New Year?

Ahhhhhhh, the immortal question ........ 2006 & 2007 we had New Year here at home.  Was a BLAST as we did not have to drive ANYWHERE and could drink as much as we wanted ...... and we did.

This year, I don't wanna do nuthin!!!  I want to sit at home, drink and be alone ...... with my husband.  Of course, HE does not, he wants to DO SOMETHING.

Watch this space .....

Merry Christmas!!!

Well, Christmas has come and gone, and wasn't it wonderful??? Well, wasn't it????

We had a lovely Christmas - busy busy, but good.  Started on the 24th December at my Mum's with WAYyyyyyyy too much food, lots of pressies, and alcohol.  Staggered home at around 7pm (started at 2pm).  Then just sat and watched mindless TV (well someone did that!!!)......... but not me, no no no, I rushed around getting the house ready for Christmas day at OUR PLACE.

People started arriving at Noon - and of course, John decided that at 11:55am, it would be a great idea to go out on his bike for a "quick" ride.  Needless to say, people arrived, and I was still in my apron, with hair all a-frizz .......... BEWDIFUL!  When John came back, I rushed in and changed into my beautiful self ...... and came out again to greet everyone in my "Christmas attire".
Plenty of food was devoured, pressies given to all the kids, a swim down at the beach, some kayaking (or in some cases, some "falling out of the kayak into the water"ing ......
By 8pm everyone had departed to their own houses to recover ....

Boxing Day is always at Andrew and Viv's - which luckily for us is about 5 mins down the road.  Once again, alot of food and alcohol .... but this time, interspersed with the Boxing Day test - Australia v South Africa.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh - Aussie summer ....... enough sun for me to lie in on the 27th and 28th ........... enjoying my week off.  Bring on that sunshine, and let's WIN that cricket!!!

Cheers
