The Christmas - New Year bore!

Yep we survived another Christmas! Though it wasn't as easy as others.

First I have been ill over Christmas with a stomach bug and a bad cold - topped together made for a downer on the Christmas festivities! Least I was up and about on the big day unlike on Christmas Eve which I spent in bed.

Second the bolier packed up sometime on Christmas Eve - so we have been with heating and hot water since then! Thank god for electricity to heat up water and keep us a little bit warmer! Hopefully that is being sorted as I write this post!

So now we are going quickly to another New Year - hope this one proves more succesful and exciting as the last - need something to keep me on my toes!!!

If I don't post again before New Year - have a great night seeing in 2008 - and hope it brings you something even better than this year- well to most of you! LOL!

Baby Bells, Engagement Rings and a serving of Leadership

So the D-Day is nearly here - no not Christmas - the announcement of the new Lib Dem leader. It's been a fairly quiet campaign compared to our last leadership election - but it's nearly over - hurrah - and then back on to business. I don't really mind which gets the job out of Huhne and Clegg - eithe rof them will make a positive impact on the way the Lib Dem's will head into the next set of local and General elections. I know who I personally would like to get the top job - though it is purely based on who i know more about - and being were they are and have been means I personally feel more of a connection.

Anyway moving on to other bits and pieces - I am so excited about the Xmas Dr Who episode - each time I see a new trailer - the excitement picks up! It looks like it might be the best Dr Who episode of the new run!
Also, not so much of a scrooge about Christmas now as I was - suppose after finding out your ex is getting hitched - Christmas was really on my thoughts. So congratulations to Tom and Jamie on their engagement - hope you are both very happy together!

On a similar note - congratulations to Kate and Jamie - who saw their daughter Faith Virginia Mytra Taylor-Jacobs born on the 12th December at 12.55am weighing 9lbs 1oz - nice to see them so happy together.

So after all this good news and love - I am left thinking were is my share. Hopefully it is on its way - could do with a better 2008.

Hope your Christmas planning is not too stressful x

Floaty Light

Just want to say I'm feeling floatly light after the magic of last night - ahhhh!!!

Facebook and the Lib Dem Leadership Contenders

I have just been on Facebook and one of my friends had sent me an invitation for a name analyzer . I added it to my profile after it had analyzed my name like so:

Radiant
Outrageous
Sublime
Successful

But as I was finishing adding the application it came up with some of my friends' name analyzed, and being a good Lib Dem both Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne are my facebook friends, and both of thier analyzed names were on this list - so I thought I would share them with you.

Cute
Highpitched
Respectful
Inventive
Superb

Number One
Influential
Crazy
Killer

I say watch out Chris if you win it lol!

Wow - its December already & Christmas Rant!!!

So the Christmas festive period is nearly upon us once again - God help us! After nearly two months surrounded by Christmas stuff at work I'm sick of it - and to top it - I have the Christmas Quiz to host on Sunday evening! Already Morrisons are cutting the prices of the Christmas Stock and there is 3 weeks to go!!! Lets get back to the real meaning of Christmas shall we - being with friends relatives and loved ones - spending time together - and also taking care of those on their own.

Well rant over - the news on the grapevine is that I am the new Chair of the Lincoln Liberal Democrats - would you believe it! Well the vote was tied been me and my opponent - so it went to the toss of a coin! Dramatic! So I'm working of my Jan08 plan of attack which is why I'm up so late!

Also - Shane is all grown up - he turned 18 on Sunday - had a great night out with work to celebrate - its great to see a young man who is not bitter or twisted - he is just loving life!

One last thing while I remember - Rhoda might be visiting Lincoln again next year - here is to the party!

oh - and to anyone wishing to know who I am supporting in the Lib Dem leadership campaign (see a comment on my last post) - that is between me and my ballot paper!! Nosey so and so!!!

I'll leave you with a quote from one of Lincoln's most famous residents, Babs who siad to me "A community is a collection of people, but if one person was missing, that community would not be the same". Shows us all that each and everyone of us is important!
