Lights keep flashing and it keeps bleeping at me!

When I informed Hubby at lunchtime he asked 'Have you been pressing buttons again?'


Okay, who among you has been gossiping to Hubby?

Our great niece celebrated her 13th Birthday with a few friends sleeping over at the weekend.

Her mother thought they were usually quiet so went to see what they were doing. She was embarrassed to find her 15 year old son reading to an enraptured audience... from her copy of 50 Shades of Grey!!

Ooops!

I have just been notified that GT U13926421 died 17th January 2013 after a long illness.

His widow has taken it very badly and has only just felt able to make contact with Prof to give him the sad news.

An obituary is being prepared and I would be grateful if any of you could leave messages in this thread that can be added the Entry for The Post.

If you read his PS you will see that not everything has run smoothly for GT, so h2g2 was his only place to play - even if he did sometimes annoy others while posting when 'under the influence'


Rest in Peace GT

Honestly, VV is doing her very best and I am so proud of her!

It's my 9th Hootoo Burpday! *hic*

This last year has been a little bit bumpy...

Comet angered me with their treatment of my dad. Well, after shaking my snowglobe a few times we all know what happened to them

VV's partner is still recovering from his bike crash. He's now able to use crutches, but is still unable to bear any weight on his left leg. Physiotherapy is rather brutal on him. Bradley Smith and Cal Crutchlow invited them both to the Bike Show at the NEC in November, where they met Randy Mamola and a number of other top bikers. They came home with lost of goodies, including two signed photos from Bradley and Cal for Pete and me

This year also saw Pete and I moving into our bungalow. It still seems strange living in his parent's home, but gradually it's becoming our own place. Lots of decorating needs to be done. New kitchen to purchase and the bathroom needs changing

Dad also moved into his bungalow. I can see his roof from my back doorstep!!


I think that's all my news for now. Let the paaarrrttaaayyy begin!!

I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and, at least, a little Prosperity for the New Year!!
