A year on ?????

Wow it's been a year since I last posted,reason I had no computer and as our library is closing couldn't use theirs, anyway lots has happened during the year, moved house again, last move no matter where my OH gets work, he can move on his own lol, I have moved nearer my gran children they live just 5mins away now which is brilliant, which means I get to see them everyday and they have stop overs at mine too which they love.


The other great news is that my son and his partner have a baby girl and they named her Danni Leigh, which is a lovely name, she was born in June this year, and is growing really well, love the stage she is at now cos she is starting to notice things and faces oh she is beautiful!!!!!

Mammy and Daddy are gone crazy buying for baby for Xmas, aw well she is their first baby and her first Xmas.......

I also had a surprise birthday in September, my OH arranged for us to go to dinner at the Pastures hotel in north Yorkshire, which I have never been before, which is a beautiful place.

As we arrived my OH lead me into foyer, which is pictured below and do you see where the suite of furniture is well as I walked in, there were people sitting there,

 I saw them but just carried on and then I heard my name been called and looked around, and those people sitting there where my 3 younger brothers and my sister, and I just stood there looking gobsmacked, my youngest brother I haven't seen since I moved over to the UK in 2000, so as you can imagine there were alot of happy tears and plenty hugging, it was brilliant!!!!

Family on BEBO

Well I have an account on Bebo and a few weeks ago, I discovered that most of my Family are on Bebo, so for the last few weeks I have been chatting to them and posting photos, new and old one on bebo and they have been doing the same, and they take some of mine and I take theirs (photos) I haven't seen them since I moved to England that's 9yrs ago so you can imagine the joy I was feeling when I saw them on bebo, and how big my niece's/nephews have grown.

It's great on bebo because my kid's can chat and exchange mobile numbers with their cousins that they haven't seen in yrs either, and exchange photos too
It means they can keep in touch, because they are mostly all the same age.

hubby was laughing at me, cos all he could hear while I was on computer was
" oh my God she has how many kid's"or " oh how big they have grown"or
" our Ann watches the same TV programme's as me" etc etc
I call that talking to myself out loud hee hee, (well I could have been singing out loud)

Families

I know I started my secret Santa late this year as I'm trying to catch up now, and it seems there is not enough hours in day, along with housework shopping etc plus I'm writing letters to friends at home in Ireland, yeah some don't have computers and I have a big Family there also which is 8 of us all together so getting address, and new nephew's/nieces that would be in total 44, and then their babies some total of 8, so if ya add it all up between family,nephews/nieces and babies that's 52 and that's not counting partners/spouses which are all living in Ireland...

Then there is my children/step children and grandchildren/step granchildren, and their spouses /partners CONFUSED!!!! I am all the time HEE HEE HEE,
Thank God I don't have to buy Christmas for all in Ireland I would need to take out a big bank loan,or even knit/crochet for them I would have to start knitting/crocheting in beginning of the year for that Christmas, so we just send cards and letters, told ya I had a big Family
