Sunday 5th January 2014

Another bad day in the McGawley Football Towers. Man United are ALSO out of the FA Cup. Beaten at Old Trafford by Swansea, 1 - 2. At least we`re both out of it I suppose :)

Bad day in the Villa Office.......Lost at HOME to Sheffield in the FA Cup. Total and utter disgrace. Can`t help but think that Lambert is useless and doesn`t have the dressing room under control, because this is woeful.

Went to the Chill Factor today to spend my North Face vouchers and money! Bonus ~ couldn`t use my credit note there,as they are a concession.....so they knocked 30 quid off my jacket, and I got to keep the voucher! Everyone`s a winner! Saw a brilliant rainbow on the way home too........Is our luck changing??????!!!!

Thursday 2nd January 2014

Went for an 8 and a half miler in the Lakes taking in 4 Wainwrights. Was probably one of the windiest, muddiest, dampest, slippiest walks we have ever done! Red Screes, Middle Dodd, Little Hart Crag and HIgh Hartdop Dodd ~ bagged.

Wednesday 1st January 2014

New Years Day and loads of football on!! Finally Villa get an away win at Sunderland. Bungle in their defense but Gabby capitalised on it and scored. 0 - 1 and 3 incredibly valuable points!!! Great start to the New Year :)

Tuesday 31st December 2013

New Years Eve ~ staying in as it`s only 10 days until we go on holiday. so we bought loads of nibbles and watched crap tv.......:) Was obviously an okay night as we didn`t go to bed until 2am!!! Nice chilled way to spend it......

Monday 30th December 2013

Still not heard anything on Blackburn, but think we won`t now until next week. So frustrating!! But on a positive note, my ITunes voucher arrived today from Relentless Energy so can go on a mini spending spree :) Yay !

Sunday 29th December 2013

Woke up and decided to head off as we are shattered from the walk yesterday!! Came back over Hardknot Pass ~ was absolutely stunningly beautiful if a little hairy in places!!! Deffo want to go back and walk the area............

Saturday 28th December 2013

Big yomp today. 9.3 miles taking in 2 Wainwrights ~ Whin Rigg and Illgill Head. Was sooooo good to be back out in the hills, if a little tiring! Howard and Jan joined us for dinner tonight which was lovely. Overall, a thoroughly awesome day :)

Friday 27th December 2013

So today, we drove up to the Lakes on our KGB Deal.......£ 80 for 2 nights bed and breakfast at The Bower House Inn Eskdale. Was lovely, a proper old coaching inn with cosy bar and comfy rooms. Struck lucky with this one :) Off for a walk tomorrow, then Howard and Janet arrive on Saturday........

A winning email on Boxing Day :) MORE Champagne ! Can`t wait for it to arrive either, as I`ve nearly smashed all my champagne flutes and this comes with 2 of them !!!! Happy winnings :)

Wednesday 25th December 2013

Christmas Day :) Calm before the storm, and the only time that the present get to look pretty under the tree! 8 of us for lunch today, Mum and Dicky, Tom and Mary and Mat and Sharon. Hopefully it will just be chilled out and a whole lot of fun !

Tuesday 24th December 2013

Cake decorating day ! Had another little problem with the Royal Icing ~ one day I`ll get it right! But pleased with the results nonetheless :) Happy Christmas Eve !

Monday 23rd December 2013

Ran around like a loon all day getting everything prepped for Christmas! Picked up the bird from the shop, and it looks a perfect size! Looking forward to Wednesday now! Went out for our tea as it`s £5 pasta night at Pastiche. My favourite Spaghetti Amatricana.
