So 2005 has now passed, so ive added some pictures at the bottom from some of the things that happened to me last year some were happy theres been the partys the ve day one we had here where we all dressed up again my neighbours must think were the weirdest lot down here, weve had summer parties, Ive been to shows and concerts and of course visited TGIS whilest on these trips to london so had the odd pina colada, weve had some nice days out aswell went to london in march with lauren and liam michele mum dad my brother paul and his then girlfriend lucy whilst there we did the hamleys thing much to liams delight, we also had lunch at the rainforest cafe which was really nice they do a really nice pina colada there aswell, its funny when i lived close to london i never really did the tourist things then just went there on my way to concerts yet since ive moved away, ive felt the need to take the children there to see the sights, think its mainly so they dont forget where they actually came from, never really felt uneasy there untill that day in july when the bombings happened i was supposed to of been going up on that day with my cousin michele to see blue in concert, so when things happen like that it really makes you think, and i didnt think id really be going back up there, but then when i think of the people that continue to work up there i then thought it shouldnt stop me as i do like to go to see shows there or have days and nights out up there, anyway weve also had days out to zoos and the farm had halloween parties, and then of course finished the year with the new years eve party here. We have also had some sad things happen aswell the begining of the year brought some very sad news for Toni and his family, which I wont write about on here as its very personal to all involved, we also had the death of my Luey boy my dog who was 16 he died in june on fathers day he was old and could harldy walk and was blind, and it was the blindness that actually caused his death as he fell in our pond in the garden, I also feel very much to blame for this although he went out in that garden every day and night but never really wondered that far up the garden, so I didnt watch him constantly anyway for some reason he went to far and he was then found by Lauren and Liam in the pond, he used to love the beach and the sea so for him to have died this way was very sad, I wish now we had taken him to the vets so atleast then I could of been there with him, anyway shortly after Luey Robbie died he was mum and dads dog although I had actually got him when I lived at home I talked mum and dad round although they didnt need much arm twisting once they had see him, he actually didnt like me to much when I left home and then got Luey although they played together I dont think he forgave me for getting another little boy, we also lost some of our little pets first candyfloss Liams gerbil , then his guinee pig Ron then Laurens gerbil hermione, they were all of an old age for small pets so you sort of know they would be gone but its still an upset, which is why I said I will not be replacing any of these animals. My uncle also died recently he was ill for some time before this but its still upsetting it was a shock to see how old some of his grandchildren had got as i havent seen them all for some time it brings it home how old I am getting now aswell So whats in store for 2006 well were of to disney in april its my dads 60th and my cousins boyfriends 40th so theres 15 of us going so should be good fun we are doing a day swimming with dolphins and rays while were there Lauren has always wanted to swim with dolphins from an early age and Ive wanted to swim with rays Liam wants to swim with sharks but thats Liam for you mad as his dad the one thing Im dreading though is the flight Ive flown a few times before but only short flights and I stopped that after september the 11th, decided to stay in this country instead which is why normally we would go to center parcs, so thats the main thing to look forward to for now no doubt we shall have some more partys and no doubt it will be in some mad fancy dress. Talking of partys New Years eve was good fun we all had a laugh at one another in our costumes, we were going to have fire works but Toni was a hippy man so he was a bit worried either his wig would go up in smoke or his lovely polyester outfit that id got him, so we had Toni as the hippy Liam as disco stu he kept his wig on for a bout 2 minutes Lauren was an eighties girlie although with her style of clothes and her new haircut she got the nickname of kelly osbourne, I went in a sixties dress, mum and dad went as bonny and clyde aunty freda and aunty ann were charlestone ladies, unle pete was a punk with pink hair, mandy and terry were danny and sandy from grease Kim Ian, and there sons Joe and ben were 50s people, shelley and her husband Paul were fred and wilma there daughter aimee was the teenager from the catherine tate show am I bothered,there son arron decided he didnt want to wear the costume he had which was just aswell as it was a something with a bow an arrow so I recon some of us would of been shot at threw out the night Jane adam and there son were all george best in different stages of his life as there footie mad there daughter rachel was jordan although her balloons busted before she got downstairs, aunt nell was a police lady who then turnt in to a stripper gran at midnight very scary, me brother Paul and my other cousin Paul were themselves as they are to cool to dress up as was tonis nephew daniel as he wanted to look good because he has a thing for rachel lol which i made sure she new and continued to embaress him all night, so all went well I think we got to bed around 4 although the kids alot later as they were altogether in the front room and they all looked very pale the next day as they were woken up quite early, so then new years day we had the cold meat mash and salad for dinner then everyone started to leave around 5 ish, so by 830 I was in bed reading the rest of my sharon osbourne book which ive now finished it was one of those books that I wanted to keep reading but didnt want to get to the end as it was very good so now I have to start on my Green day one.
