Gadding About!

The above title explains what we have been doing the past few weekends! We went to see my mum last weekend with Andrew, it was her birthday so we thought we would spend the weekend down in Norfolk kindly staying at my cousins holiday home in Ridlington which is lovely! We got there quite late on the Friday evening (we're not mentioning the poor deer incident on the way). Then on the Saturday we went to the home to collect Mum and took her to Norwich Castle for the afternoon and then out for some dinner. We had arranged for the staff to bring our a birthday cake for her.....bless her she looked like she might have been about to cry!!! Then we all went out for lunch Sunday before heading back to London. It was a lovely weekend and Boo was a really good girl!

Then this weekend we went up to see Anne in Long Eaton. She has got a new house which is lovely! We didn't really do much as the weather was a bit pony but we went out for lunch on Saturday...and then for lunch today we went to her friends Katie and Paul's for lunch. they have two kids who Bekky really likes playing with so that worked well!

In a couple of weeks we are off to see the Clarke's for the weekend...it's a really long way to go but will be so lovely to see them and the boys!!!

I've started my Christmas shopping.....this is pretty early for me! Going to really try to get it done before Bekky breaks up from school...so i have till the 20th! I've done a fairly big Amazon order so that will save trawlling round the shops for a few things!

What's going on!

I'm afraid i have to dedicate this post to the delights of TV.

Sorry, but what is going on with the X Factor - it's just WRONG that the McDonald brothers are still in it....i think Simon was right on Saturday when he said that they are just getting sympathy votes! There's no way that they were better than Robert or Eton Road! If they win...well i don't know what i'll do! I personally like Ben, but i'm really thinking that Leona should win. Oh this IS exciting.......Matt's work colleague Gill went to see the X Factor and she got me Ben's autograph...i was really pleased and Bekky was too.....she seems to like whoever i like with the exeption of Eton Road!

Strictly come dancing next.....well thank goodness Peter has gone...he should definatley have gone before Ray who went the week before last.....as for who i want to win...well thats a tricky one...i like Mark (obviously) but also like Emma and Louisa...i think i'll have to play that one by ear a bit!

Not seen much of I'm a Celebrity.....but Jason Donovan is in it....so he's got to be my favourite regardless how he is. I used to love him!

I really should get out more...but the nights are drawing in so it makes perfect viewing!!!
