You guessed it…It rained, well today it has BUT that doesn’t matter much fun was had!!!<\/p>\n

Good Friday was indeed a good friday, Although I had to work it was a Good day to work, the sun was shining and everyone was in a good mood, Friday evening and in typical british fashion the first hint of sunshine and the BBQ’s came out….Well Mike and Nickys was out and an invitation extended my way. Plenty of extremely good food was a consumed, Lots of much needed beer was drank and the laughter could be heard down the street as the boys regaled us with tales of debauchary from the stag party a couple of weekends ago, and us girlies talked dresses, hair and flowers for the up coming wedding a couple of weekends away!<\/p>\n

Saturday and I had to be back in work, I dont usually work weekends but as Mr Eccles had an hospital apointment and has so graciously swapped shifts with me in the past I offered to cover for him. I’d have rather have not been there and words were exchanged with my manager but all was good in the end, We both conseded points that normally our stubborn selves would have refused to back down from (I must be mellowing with age) and I left work in as good as mood as I arrived. An entertaining Saturday evening was spent in the pub in Walsall again plenty of beer was drank and the night culminated in a conversation with a drunk Dicko and Stu about if it was possible to breed lamb that tasted of mint if you fed it mint all its life…..It was definitly time to go home!!!<\/p>\n

Easter Sunday was spent around James’ where I got roped into serving the boys coffee during the first half of the Villa match and completely avoided the second half by escaping into the front room with Penny (James Mom)….Villa beat Birmingham 3 – 1 if your interested, I wasn’t particully but I had to hear about it so now you can too!! In the afternoon I kind of flitted between practising knitting wire and beads together to make jewellery (Penny has kindly taught me how to do it and I was determined to master it to make my own accessories for Steve and Catherines wedding) and upstairs where James was performing much needed surgery on my computer (fitting a bigger hard drive) all while eating Myrtle Moo my chocolate Moo Cow that Al got me for Easter.<\/p>\n

Today as I said in typical Bank Holiday style it has rained on and off, so commiting ourselves to a day indoors so that we didn’t end up soaked through James spent the day reloading all my files back onto my now new and improved PC and I made the bracelet I spent all day yesterday practising for….. I am now extrememly pleased with myself as it has turned so much better than expected and it is the most wonderful shade of blue!<\/p>\n

That was this weekend, since my last blog I have also been to see Seth Lakeman at the Glee Club in Birmingham, sent my son to school dressed as Oliver Twist, worked very hard impressing my managers in meetings at head office and generally had lots of hectic days!!<\/p>\n

I’m now going to get a cup of tea and find something to do now I’ve finished my bracelet….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
