Snow!

I've brought the kids over to Lincolnshire for some of half term. It snowed twice while we were there. This was one the first evening...


And this was on the morning we were setting off home. Nice!

Orlando

I've come to Orlando this week for a conference. Not for long as I want to get back for Tully's birthday so I've just flown out for a couple of nights. I am here for the gala dinner at Epcot though... Typical though - it is raining!

Birthday!

Yippee! It's my birthday. I got home this morning and caught up with some sleep. Then I went to Altrincham and had a lovely lunch out (other than getting 'customered' very briefly as a load of people were up for training and taken to the same pub we were in) with Mark and the rest of the team.

After lunch I went into Altrincham to pick up my lovely necklace that Mark bought me for my birthday. Only it hadn't arrived :( but they phoned me half an hour later to say it had appeared!

So I picked Tully up from school and we whizzed back to collect it (not much fun for her though). It really is beautiful.

Then off to get Harry, home for birthday cake, a take away and a DVD. Not that exciting to some people maybe, but it was just lovely to be home and with my family. XX

Trip to Philly

This week I had to go to our head office in Philadelphia for some training. I wasn't looking forward to the trip especially, but in the end it was better than I was expecting.

I set off determined I was NOT going to eat in Tequilas on this trip - I was never that impressed and the fact I end up being taken at some point during every visit just means I'm bored of it. I did well at avoiding it on Monday night, which was lucky as I ended up on a group meal there on Wednesday and going 2 nights out of 3 would be a bad record to set...

I also flew home on Thursday night to get back for my birthday. I had a really lovely day when I got in and was very glad to be back for it...
