It only seems like yesterday, that we were shouting Happy New Year!!!!
What have I been up to for the last 10 days???
Well, we have eventually booked to go to the Gloucester Retreat with Scrappers Unlimited, having worked out how many holidays we would have left, and if the Egg Card would stand it!!!
My DH works at Vauxhalls plant in Ellesmere Port, and the Company have announced that they are to go from 3 shifts to 2. Which means they have to lose 900 jobs. As my DH is 52, he has put in his request for early retirement, we have worked out how much he would get, and after paying of the mortgage (it finishes anyway in 2010). We will continue to pay the endowments so that our funds will be "topped up" again in 2010. He will probably look for a little part time job "to keep him going", it isn't worth getting a full time job, because the tax man would take too much!!
I have completed an album for my God daughters' little girl Olivia, a bit like a brag book for them to record her first twelve months.
On Saturday, Chris and I went to Bodelwyddan Castle, as the North Wales Flower Festival was being held there.
We were very disappointed as we paid £7 each to get into what was in effect a market, with a childrens' fairground!! We left the event and went into the castle for a coffee. Whilst in there we noticed a signpost to the walled garden. When we got there, the sun came out, and we took lots and lots of photos of flowers, which is what we wanted anyway, but we could have got them for free!!!
These are the three favourite photos of the day!!

Well I'm really glad you and Chris are coming on the Gloucester 2 retreat, because you are part and parcel of the furniture now! LOL!
