OMG - can you believe this award. I got this from Andrea (The Paper Purse) a short time again and completely forgot all about it, until I was catching up on some blog reading today.

To get this from someone a talented as Andrea is really special. Thank you. mwah x

So, now I need to share 7 things about me and then pass this award on to highlight others. It's like a smile being passed around in blog-land!

3. My favourite colour is purple. Its also my birthstone colour - Amethyst

4. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can afford to go to Florida for our 10th wedding anniversary in 2011, with our family and good friends, Pam (Pambalf), Rich and their kids. It will be their 10th wedding annivesary that year too.

5. I can't stand Chocolate - Only joking I LOVE IT!!!

6. I have a goal to lose well over a stone that I put on over Christmas but it ain't stifting

7. I love doing logic puzzles and have completed all Mystery Case File games including that new DS one that I got from hubby for my birthday.

Where did the time go.....

HI folks, looks like I'm back again. I'm sure I should have been a hedgehog or something that hibernates. I go missing over the winter months and then reappear again when the weather starts to get a little better.

Mind you, we had snow last week, lots!!!

I am so grateful for all my blog sisters, craft sisters and well wishers, who have been in tough. I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to getting back to you, but I appreciate your concerns for me and your well wishes.

I had a really tough session with a psychologist (she was really mean and not very friendly)! She doesn't seem to think my medication would contribute to the problems with my white blood count, so we are still no further forward in finding out why I get so tired and why my blood count is often low.

So from now on I have made a promise to myself that I will blog at least ONCE a week and make more of an effort to keep in tough with all you fantastic friends!
