And so it begins.......

As a personal challenge and part of lent, I have decided to give up crisps. To most people this wouldn’t appear that hard, however with me, crisps are like other people’s addiction and craving for chocolate. I can’t remember a time where I haven’t had crisps and they haven’t been in my life (dear me I am making them sound like a person). When I was in school I used to have up to 4 packets of crisps a day!!!! Since I’ve gotten older I have cut down on that amount. I am surprised I am not really that fat. When I was eating these 4 packets a day I was training about 3-4 times a week in Badminton, so I think I just burned it off.

The first day without crisps yesterday went fine. I didn’t crave them at all and I was ok at lunch time as well when I normally have my packet of the day. Today is proving a bit harder. I would like to have a packet but I will say NO. One of the guys in work was ever so cruel and took two packets of crisps and waved them either side of my head, saying I was seeing things and I know I wanted them. I WILL NOT GIVE IN!

Aaaaargh lunch time is almost here and I would love some crisps. This could just be because I am hungry more than anything else. Let’s hope that I will be fine once I have had my lunch.

Ok I have had my lunch, I still feel a bit hungry but more satisfied and I am not really craving crisps, so that’s something :0)

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend.  Who would have thought it?  We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house.  Goodness knows.  Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other.  I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons.  I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all.  Also she doesn’t judge.  I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirky ways and know I can have not only an

The Afternoon Teas Have Returned....Cheltenham

Hurrah, at long last the delightful afternoon teas have returned and it was kick started with a meet up with the Biffa's (self given name for my little group of lovely ladies).  We decided to meet up in Cheltenham as it's roughly half way between Bridgend and Stafford along with being a nice place. We decided to rendezvous at the Cheltenham park and ride.  I have to say one of my main priorities when visiting any where is that they have a decent easy to get to park and ride.  I mean, why battle with the inner town systems of somewhere you haven't a clue when you can just park up and jump on a bus which does the stressful bit for you. On arrival into the town we got our bearings by heading to the nearest decent looking pub and as we were driving the strongest thing we opted for was caffeine.  Still it gave us chance to have a natter, exchange some gifts and decide where we wanted to go and if anyone had anything in particular they wanted to get.

Weston Hall Afternoon Tea

Well if you haven’t guessed I do enjoy an afternoon tea even though I don’t have a sweet tooth.   For my last birthday my lovely friend Fordy got me two vouchers for afternoon tea at Weston Hall , Stafford.   Having a browse on line beforehand this looked like a marvellous setting. We arrived at this lovely building which was very picturesque the only down side was that it was quite close to a main road and this spoiled the view a bit but the noise levels weren’t too bad.   We headed into the Cellar restaurant where our afternoon tea was booked and showed into the lounge area where we would be having it.   Mr Bus and I chose some lovely sofas to sit on next to the fire, although it was the end of May we went the weather was still cold and wet so this was welcome. For our afternoon tea we could choose from a range of teas or coffee and we opted for Assam, being one of our favourites.   We were expecting to wait a little while and started to have a nose at what else they had on o
