Feeling Chillin'
Saturday 29th December - It`s been awhile
Hi Everyone.....
Hav`nt written here in ages, how time fly`s lol! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to a good New Year. I`m wishing for all of you that this year brings you good health, happiness and a few other things that each of you might be wishing for. Christmas was quiet and the Teen and Mr Rugby treated me to a new mobile phone and a GOAT! Yes I did say a GOAT.....I like to know that someone else will be getting something for Christmas and as part of mine the Teen and Mr Rugby paid for an African family to have a GOAT that will supply them with milk, this has to be my top present that I received this Christmas! Hairy bought me a pair of White Gold diamond earring as well as all the other little things that he treated me to so I can safely sy that I have had a lovely time. The anticipation of Christmas coming and the excitment that I felt has never really grown up, I still love the Christmas Eve and the new PJ`s to wear for Santa coming lol, maybe the child within us never really grows up. I`m off for a total of two weeks in the holidays and I still can`t quite believe it, I`ve never had so much time off having worked in retail all this time, so it`s bliss. Instead of waiting till the nNew Yaer to make my resolution I`m doing it now while I feel motivated, I`ve made up Linda`s FAT busting tracker........no weighing, just measurements and a pair of trousers that I can`t get into. This way I will be more motivated by the inch losses and the trousers that don`t quite fit! They are only one size smaller than I currently am, no use trying to achieve 3 sizes smaller just now and by going down a size at a time it`s another way of keeping motivated, don`t set your goal too high, little ones are more achievable! The Teen and Mr Rugby are getting themselves organised for going to Austrialia, getting their visas organised and all the other bits like having enough money in their bank accounts back home so that they have money when they come back. They are working all the hours they are able to so that they have the money side of things all organised and doing a great job of it too.(leaving time for fun as well...all work and no play, not good for them ethier) I am hitting the sales today just to get out of the house as I now have cabin fever as Hairy has had to work and had the car! Leaving it till now will hopefully mean the rush is over and I won`t get trampled lol. I`m meeting my cousins that found me through my journal next Friday, it seems mad that we have never met and I`m really looking forward to it, we are having a meal in a little Italian so it should be fun I`ll keep you posted. Well that`s me all cought up and I hope it won`t be long before I come back to write, on a final note my thoughts go out to Lahoma and Kim`s family I hope that they are coping with the loss of these great ladies who will be truly missed by everyone. Until next time take care all and stay safe...............

when linda told me that she had gotten a goat from linz over the phone... i just buckled with laughter... i could imagine this goat running about her house baaing and doing the toilet everywhere... i really found it funny... but i really agree with linz giving a family the goat on linda's behalf and hopefully they will continue to do this every year... last year i donated £50 to help with the water problems and hopefully when i can.. i will donate more to the families who need it... love susie xxx

I DID picture that little baa baa baby running around in your yard with a red bow around it's neck! Great gift idea! Our class raises funds for the Heifer Project each year - what a wonder organization!
Wishing you and yours a peaceful and happy New Year!
