Im spending the 25th and 26th with friends and no doubt alot of alcohol! I am travelling up to Yorkshire on the 27th to be with my family and returning on the 30th to relax before a New Years Eve Party on the 31st...with yes Friends and copious amounts of alcohol.

I didn't go home at all last year. Things were strained to say the least between my mum and I and this year we have both made the effort to make up and agree that we will never be best friends but we can make a good go of having a mother daughter relationship. Life is too short not to get on and deal with it!

Hopefully I will survive the 3days I am up North and get to catch up with family I haven't seen for 2 or 3 years!

I know that for a lot of us 2003 has been a difficult year we have suffered bereavements and illnesses but we also have little blessings and Miracles....the birth of much wanted twins, Sorcha's Grandson and Katlaughing's Grandson. I wish everyone the strength to get through Christmas and Fantastic New Year!!

Blessings
Khatt
