Boo!! Yay !!!

I must admit I TRY to be a glass is half full type of gal, but blardy hell even I have my limits, so we'll get the bad news out of the way first in one list. Please bear with me..............

I say boo, to the fact I was asked to put myself forward to be a parent governor and was beaten to it by ahem..... someone who sent his wife canvassing for him - I kid you not. However, the Pollyanna in me does like the fact that many people have said we voted for you, which is nice.

Boo as Twiglet wasn't voted onto the school council - we told him he's ace, so there!!

Boo as you may have seen on TV, like a lot of the country we have had rotten weather up here high in the Pennines. Check out our allotment, that is now 80% under water, it was like this at the beginning of October, then after this grotty week we are back to square one. We have lost leeks, cabbages, sprouts, beans, broccoli and Twiglets parsnips:( Our polytunnel is wrecked and frankly, after talking to the parish council for goodness knows how long, I feel like throwing the towel in :( We are currently in negotiations.This is a very, very, serious and most important and sad boo on behalf of my lovely friend, who has just discovered her father is very sick and won't be getting better :( it's so so sad and puts everything else into perspective.

So that's the boos out of the way - are you still reading???

Here's some yays!!!

Yay - Before the crappola weather we had a lovely walk on some of the footpaths around our village.
Yay - I have a new job, the work is sporadic. Funnily enough I'll be working for the governor service.

Yay - We took Twiglet to his friend's birthday party the other day which was ace and involved exotic animals, I held a big hairy spider and a very beautiful snake - brave Twiggy !!
All the children and parents had a great time.

Yay - I appear to have found my crafting mojo, I think it's the countdown to Christmas and I have to take my mind off Richard Armitage disappearing from our screens.

Yay - Miranda is back next Monday - super ace!!!Big yay - Booked tickets for something VERY exciting this week for my birthday in January, but more on that later.

So are you making preparations for Christmas? Twiglet insisted we buy a countdown to Christmas Santa, so I thought I'd pop one on my blog too.

Thanks for listening and take care.

PS I promise not to gripe on my next post, normal service will resume.
