I met Al my husband in 1998 at the University of Birmingham. We both love nights in with our cat Pads, seeing friends and gardening. We share a love for a good restaurant, the odd discussion and a good book. Friends and family feel free to leave your comments!

Since the Great North Run
Very very busy. Celebrated Dad's birthday - we went to a restaurant called Strawberry Bank, although everyone else enjoyed their meal I didn't think much of mine. It was a bit sickly. But then I'd been recovering from the lurgy for the previous week; I had swollen glands and felt generally rough. Everyone at work seems to have come down with something or other so work has been a bit hard.
I've had 3 days of training also, I went to London for CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) training a couple of weeks ago, which was really good, and a 2 day Mac training course in Illustrator, which was also really useful. I think it's ironic that out of all the companies I've worked for, some huge, important companies and some smaller, the one to actually invest in my training is a charity.
I have to say, busy as I've been, crazy as it's been, I've loved working marketing a charity and long may it continue...
Off to church, speak soon.

chicken trouble
Has anyone got any idea about chickens? Hannah's chickens have stopped laying eggs and are losing their feathers! Does anyone know if this is normal behaviour? Answers on a postcard please to...

Great North Run
The wedding - ours that is
Wonderful place called the Queens Head Inn came to the rescue, the lovely Gianni is looking after us now - I feel so much happier!
The last few weeks
The next wedding was a BioCare reunion and a great chance to go out with Laura for a dance, since on holiday we sadly missed out on having a girly night. The bride was the lovely Kim Nation, who is BioCare's Despatch department manager and a really nice lady. She was getting hitched to Fiona's brother, Fiona also worked at BioCare when I did, and so did Kim's daughter Claire, so all in all the wedding was a bit of a work do... It was great to meet up with Linda, Chris, Mary and even seeing my old manager Karen was lovely, just to make sure there was no weirdness or anything.
