The long and the short of it.....

Paul said it was time for a change - due to my advancing years you know - so here goes....

I went from this - Really quite long....

To this - about 6-7 inches shorter!

Oh my god now I remember how hard it is to keep this mop tidy when it's this length - and drying - try and hour and a half later...... It's so blooming thick!

Oh well - soon belong enough to plait again!

Spent My Birthday Money Karen x

Got in to work on my first day back after my holidays (boo hoo) and had a nice surprise.

The Liz Earle face and body stuff I ordered had been delivered. I was in need of some more and went onto the website to order it only to find that QVC were doing a TSV on the following weekend.

Now I love a bargain and knew that the glorious Cleanse and Polish would be in the kit so I waited until the Saturday and ordered it.

It was well worth it - there are loads of her products included that I have not used before and am now wondering how I managed without them.

Liz Earle is a marvel - Advert Over Sorry!!!

Then I got my birthday money from you, Karen and Dave and that was just the amount that I needed. So thanks guys, you're the best, I now look beautiful and calm and radiant - and not in the least bit 40 !! LOL!

HOME

We arrived home and settled down to relax after the journey.

Fred seems to know that implies we go back to work tomorrow so some me time with Daddy is needed. AAAHH!

Last But One Day

To commemorate our last full day of the holidays we decided to go to the Raleigh Cross Inn on the top of the Exmoor hill tops just inland from Washford.

It's always a fab meal there and we wanted to end the week on a high...

YUMM!

20 Week Scan

Got this on my phone whilst I was away - My friend had her latest scan - it's really clear so I'm even more excited for her!

AAAAAAHHHHHHH.........UUURRRG

For those of you that have been reading my blog for ever like, as they say, you will know about Boris the spider that lived in the roof of the bathroom of our caravan.

I finally go the better of him in August, after a 2 and a half year battle, and sucked him up the vacuum cleaner.

We arrived and a few days later Boris' younger brother Igor turned up and I decided he just had to go - I could not get into the shower without establishing where he was first so that is not good!

Igor was very stupid and I got him in same said vacuum cleaner 2 days later.

Not even 36 hours after this Helga and Ingrid appeared in each corner of the ceiling above the shower - they were really dumb - I got them in about 45 seconds flat - I must be getting brave....

Igor in his hey day! Big and not even a close up picture!

Whilst I could not kill an animal the thought that a little spider colony is now appearing in the vacuum bag is a little worrying. What will I go back to on my next visit???

Just Teasing Phill....

Today we went to Clarks Village for some retail therapy, and as Phill cannot live without his coffee and was at work (or so I thought) I sent him this just to make him drool..... mmmm Grande Caramel Latte to go ...... mmmmm

Shame I wasn't able to spend any of my birthday money, but it was worth it for the coffee if nothing else!

So Hot - No Not Me Stupid - The Weather!

A walk on the beach was in order - this is crazy we've not had any Summer to speak of and now as Autumn gets under way big time, I am in a vest top and its 26 degrees!

Yes I know I've put on a stack of weight - but please refer to the Pasty post!

Me and my boy!
