Climbed into bed this morning at 1am after a late flight from the Canary Islands. Had 10 glorious days basking in the sun and warmth.

Oh well, it couldn't carry on forever . Back to real life now although my sunbed and sangria next to the pool still beckon!

My hubby and I are celebrating our 18 wedding anniversary tomorrow. He forgot the last 2 years, but I have already received lovely roses and a card stating, ' Thanks to my Blackberry I can now leave myself a remeinder' .

We are off to the movies this evening after a slap up meal. Going to see Denzel Washington in 'The Taking of Pelham 123'.

Received the very sad news this morning from a dear friend of my husband and I. She has been diagnosed with agressive cancer of the lungs.

She is in her 40's, a fitness fanatic and has never smoked. She is a genuinely kind and gentle person and we are just so sad by this news.

She has decided not to have chemo as it will only briefly prolong her life and make her sick in the process.

We are devastated and shocked. Her email was basically to say 'good...

We are overjoyed to have our teenage daughter safely home from her school trip to the USA.

Now our home is back to normal again and chaos riegns supreme, haha.

Did she come home with any of the £250 spending money we gave her? You have got to be kidding ! All spent. xx
