I think my years all just rolled along .. nothing stands out as being better or worse than another..

Today here in NZ, five couples went for a balloon ride - for one couple it was a Christmas present from their children.. it is believed the balloon hit a power line and caught fire.. All eleven people died... not a very good start to 2012 for their families.

We were out when we heard it on BBC news on the radio..

Horrific really, don't know who they were yet..

I think it might have been Tea and Sympathy that I'm thinking of.

2011 I reckon will be my most "memorable "year.....Sadly for many,many sad reasons(The happy pills DO help a lot.:)) but 2 good ones...New granddaughter Phoebe born in May and Mr H (grandson)coming to live here on Nov 1st

Second thoughts....Is that a good thing when awoken rudely so often at silly Oclock by him?????

Then again 2001 will never be forgotten after losing my much loved stepson suddenly at age 16.

Off to ponder that one in my nice warm bed with some wonderful memories to treasure...~~~~

I am always in trouble Sylv - they dont like me anyway so what I say cannot make any difference [anyway it is a chance to get my own back on them - in public!! lol]

I am sure that this is Mr Chipps - didnt she die not too long after she married him and he was left to do the housemaster job alone?

Oh - lets not get all sad!! - what can I tell you that is funny???

Today an agency worker was leaving to go to a permanent job. We bought him vouchers to the value of £20 - at the last minute - and were trying to raise the £20. I asked our top manager if she would like to contribute and she did - making the comment that £20 was alot for someone who had only been with us for 4 weeks. My friend said that it was nothing to do with length of service but popularity!!! I said to her that in that case me and her would be likely to receive nothing when we leave - but then turned to my manager and said that if this was the case then when she left she would owe us money!!!!! [I am SOOOO loved by the management!!! - you can imagine!!] lol
