Mum bought me two new pairs of shoes today a boring black pair for school, and a pair of brown CAT boots. Tried walking upstairs in them and couldnt bend my feet,i am a size 11 shoe now.
my cat cassie is scratching all the furniture so mum bought some citrus spray and we are all coughing coz its dead strong, then mum got cross because cassie went out and scratched the carpet were mum just sprayed, the cat is hiding from mum now.
tell Cerys and Iwan the pics were great and hope to see them soon, i have been helping mum set up facebook she is crazy! love Dan ps i am getting rid of my trampoline which is 13 foot with safety net do you want it for Cerys and Iwan ? if so dad said he will bring it down to you.

We all went to the Christmas markets in manchester last night on the train! havent been on a train in years so we didn't know where to pay and that you have to open the doors - did you know they dont just open by themselves.
We eventually arrived without incident! the market was really packed so couldn't get near most stalls - managed to have a few glasses of glutwein and bockwurst though.
Great pictures of Iwan, and Cerys, how brave she looks sat up in the hospital bed. Give her and Iwan all our love, and we hope to see you all soon.

Dan and i went shopping today spent loads but came back with hardly anything. We wanted to get Iwan and Cerys presents today and ended up lugging around a load of things then talked ourselves out of buying them. So if you can let us know what they are into at the moment that may help us out some!
Nigel has just come home from football Man City beat Arsenal 3-0 so he really happy. Golf for him tomorrow - not a bad life eh! Gets him out of all the weekend chores.
off to cook a chicken curry be in touch soon.

Hi Mel, John Cerys and Iwan

Lovely to hear from you, and hope you are all keeping well.
how did you get on at the hospital with Cerys? Any news yet as to what the cause is of her low blood count? we are thinking of you all.
we all loved the bedtime story and all your updates we are all novices at this but will learn and hope to give you some updates from Lymm
things have not been so good on the home front here as you know Dan found my ex husband dead with Davids girlfriend, the funeral was really lovely Dave and Simon relly handled everything well and had friends and family from the Netherlands Germany ireland and of course nearer home.
cannot believe Cerys is starting school scary how time flies so quick eh?
Daniel goes into year 10 this time options and job experience year he is already worried about what he wants to do- I have toldhim i still don't know what i really want to do work wise, as i suppose most of us really don't either.

hope to get down to see you all soon, will learn how to post so piccies to you so Cerys and Iwan get to see us at least some more on line.

love to everyone give the kids a big kiss for us all
take care
hugs

bad new about the doo!!!!!!

the week before derik died i ahd my hair cut . i went in and asked for a thining ouit but they said they will trim it to take the bulk away. any way i ended up ith a new hair dresser who did allt his stuff to make it stand up on top. so when i got home i washed it and it was sh*t they had cut it short on top so i couldnt do any thing with it and it stuck up!!!
so now i have got it short ,but it was good while it lasted.
i will put some pictures on when i find my camera or i get the phone bill paid.
