A quick? update.


Well the days then the weeks then the months go by .

Such a lot has happened since I last posted. We have been on 4 more holidays!

Las Vegas, Barcelona and Winter Park twice. All of them were fabulous. Took hundreds of photos.

Nicholas and Lesley have set a wedding date 25th March 2011. So the diet is now on in earnest.

I have lost 11 lbs since last September doesn't sound much but it's a big deal for me.

I even came back from skiing and weighed the same as when I went. RESULT!

My right knee had been playing up catching and clicking so I bit the bullet and got a referral from the Doctor to the specialist. I am so lucky that I have medical insurance through work.
In May I saw the specialist , had a MRI scan and on 1st June had surgery, only keyhole cleaned it up a bit. Unfortunately I have mild/moderate arthritis on the outside of my right knee. I know compared to a lot of people it is nothing but it's my knee and I am the one who now has to get it right again.
I have been having physio twice a week and working hard on it. I will be able to carry on doing whatever I want and learn to live with the discomfort/pain. The consultant believes that I will eventually need a knee replacement.

I had 4 weeks off work I was very bored and read a great deal I even did a bit of scrapping. Spent a fortune on the internet.
I am now back at work on a phased return, 5 hours a day this coming week.

My friend Tanya is now overdue with her 2nd child, a little girl who will called Kahlen. Finley is growing up very quickly he is a very funny little soul and so loving I hope it continues when his new sister arrives.

We had a bit of an accident in the office/craft room a shelf fell off the wall so we are going to redesign it(I may get more room)

The photo at the top is one I took recently on a walk round the field, Finley and Boston, talk about me and my shadow.

I am currently doing Shimelles new class Love your pictures love your pages the other pic below is one of my efforts.

I will try and blog more often.

Sorry about your knee but glad its on the mend.
Love the flower piccie, fab. Also luv the boy and dog piccie.
Get stuck into that dieting. I lost over 2 stone on slimming world last year and its staying off.
Hope to see you again soon at AFTH but if you fancy some crafting nearer to home while you're still on part time hours then I'm not far away, x
