Hello again peoples. I read a comment in a journal sometime over the last few weeks that when you're blogging it can pull you in and you can't stop blogging but once you stop for a few days it can be difficult to get back into it...how true!

Christmas was good, Jack was more interested in his old toys than the new ones, he didn't even want to rip the paper off his pressies & he normally loves ripping up paper..strange but true.

It was nice to have some time off work, I had booked the time off between christmas & new year so had time to relax a little (or maybe not, I have got a little one you know). I lost count of the amount of times Jack tried eating the tree lights & pulled the baubles off the tree but thats what its all about, fun, fun fun. We had told people not to go stupid buying Jack pressies cos we haven't got room to store loads of stuff & he is only a wee little one so doesn't really know what the hell all the fuss is about & surprisingly our wishes were respected...now there's a bloody first.

Jack is now walking properly, ok he does fall on his butt on a regular basis but usually when he's tired or when he's not looking where he's walking. We have had to buy him proper little shoes cos his feet are too big for baby shoes now, he looks so grown up. We are in the middle of planning his first birthday party for later this month, can you believe my son is about to turn 1, where has the last year gone? My sister bought us a photo session at a Venture studio for christmas & we're booked for Jack's birthday which is gonna be great, photo's in morning & party in the afternoon. Our house is in a little street that is literally a one lane road up to a turning circle, we all have driveways for 1 car & you can have another car if you block your driveway. Because of this we are going to have the party at Nic'as parents house as they live on a main road so parking is a lot easier ( although their foreign neighbours usually have several cars outside at any given time).

I will try to spend some more time catching up with my journal over the weekend cos I am off for a bath now then going to put my feet up & have a glass of wine. I hope you're all nice & warm indoors tonight, the weather is not nice at the moment although I would like more snow.
