Reflections and Resolutions

Firstly apologies for taking so long to issue another blog. Decenber 2010 was a write off as I was sick, the kids were sick, the country froze and, to add insult to injury, Christmas was in December....honestly ! It is the second day of 2011,all are well, and today we gave out the last gift to GASP's godson..thank God !Apart from the fact that the tree is still twinkling in the corner, normal service has resumed, in that I am in my pyjamas ( new ones !), my heat holder socks ( genius) with a glass of Freeman's Bay Sauvignon Blanc in my hand, comtemplating if I should have a pizza or not....heaven ! For some normal service is suspended. The blonde is on crutches entirely due to the fact that she has rich friends. You see, she was in a house with marble floors, and slipped on exiting their facilities. Had she hung around with those of us with cheap carpet and wooden floors, her ankle would be intact , but that's the price you pay for posh friends. The FA is resting after a very busy Christmas and New Year in certain departments. The Mad One celebrated her first Christmas as a mother of 5 and survived admirably ! The Ambassadrice flew home, not once but twice, and brought beautiful French gifts. BMM spent Christmas in New Zealand in 27 degrees while we tolerated -12. Fat Freddie and GASP declared my bronze, free range ( ie. expensive) turkey, the greatest they had ever eaten. Overall, 2010 was somewhat unremarkable, which I think makes it a good year.
New Years Resolutions have now been made. GASP requested that I nag him less, but I pointed out that a) it is by far my favourite sport and b) he needs it, so refused to entertain that idea. Instead, I have resolved to stop texting, while driving ( yes I know !) I have always been proud of my ability to multi-task but admit texting while in control of the much detested Renault is totally crazy. Much as I would be prepared to write off the Renault, I have alot to do yet, so vow to keep this one, hence you shall hear from me less. I refuse to make any drink or weight related resolutions, simply due to the fact that I will break them ( 20 years experience ).
PS GASP and I finally got out on a date last night. I got to wear my lovely M+S dress and "the underwear". We had a lovely evening, but I refused to consumate it until Jan 2nd, as I was afraid if he got what he wanted on the first day of the year, he would think it was going to be a dialy event.....start as you mean to continue, I say !
