I know others that feel the same but I really do feel I'm in some state of limbo at the moment. It's that weird time of year when you are just coming down from all the hectic rush of Christmas/New Year and it's so damn miserable weather wise.

I did start my walking again today, as some of you know who have read my blogs I suffer from a bad back and asked the doctor the best form of exercise. She said I was best to get walking... so walking is what I'm doing.

The doc advised to walk briskly, don't carry anything and swing your arms. So if you see a mad woman walking down the street with arms swinging wildly please say hello

Anyway back to the limbo. I think it's also a very thoughtful time...

Hope 2006 brings you all you have dreamt for.

I had a quietish night. Went out in Great Harwood with my friend for a couple of hours but got back to hers for 10.30 to bring in the new year with our kids. Didn't over indulge in the pop either but food may be a different matter, oops!!

The cold is gathering pace just in time for me to go back to work on Tuesday, great eh!!!

Today I have the big new years meal to prepare which we will be eating at tea time to allow any stomachs to settle from the night before

So I suppose its about time I started to do something about it as there is loads to do and prepare.

Once again I hope you all have a great year this...

Well I've spent the evening really fed up after the Accrington Stanley match was called off at southport!!!! It's funny how we gear ourselves up for it, especially an away match. I was taking Garinda with me and I could tell he was just as disappointed. Oh well the silver lining was that Exeter lost so we are still 2 points clear of them and now have 2 games in hand on them too!!!

So what did I do this eve to cheer myself up???

I'm preparing a big posh New years day meal and there are things I still needed. I was planning to go tomorrow but as the match was off I thought I might try out my first go at night time supermarket shopping... so I set off to Tesco's at 10pm and was home before 11pm which was pretty damn...

Every year on the Thursday that falls between Christmas & New Year one of my best friends and I make a point of going out. It's only ever the two of us on purpose as we go absolutely mad and then can only blame each other for any daft things we may do!!!

This year proved no different! We headed on down into Preston but we didn't go mad drink wise but certainly got into the spirit of fun and laughter. My friend bumped into a couple of her customers (her company manufacture gas fires), luckily happy ones and they joined in our fun.

We danced to loads of 80's music in the 80's reflex bar which brought quite a few funny looks but oh what the hell, do we care??? Although I did stay away from the pole......

Bit of an odd Christmas. Travelled over to my mums Christmas day after having my ex hubby at mine for the morning as there were problems with the lads going to his for the morning this year. I spent most of the time he was here going to a couple of friends houses and also to the cemetary to visit a friend's little boy's grave. I had only been there about five mins when both parents turned up, I felt it wasn't my place to stay any longer and without getting upset I gave them both a hug and got in my car and left. I drove away with tears rolling down my face as alll I could think was that xmas morning should be about watching your child's face lit up with wonder and laughter opening pressies not visiting their grave. it was sooo sad but it certainly...
