Peas be with you always at Christmas.
And finally, a photo of me trying to show off the back of my dress. I had it covered up with a shrug in the pub, as I have flabby arms. But it was designed to have a lovely drop back. You can also see the sparkles in my hair ![]() And that horrendous bruise on my arm? It's not. It's just a shadow for once. Merry Christmas one and all. |

That is a lovely dress you had on. Looks like y'all had a great time, and the food looks yummy! I'm jealous.

Went to see The Woman in Black with Mum today.
Details in Post Whore thread. We didn't plan it for Valentine's Day, but we joked it was our date once we realised. Mum and Dad don't make a big deal out of the old VD, because their Wedding Anniversary is on the 17th and that's always meant more to them. They saw it on stage, and I've read the book, so we weren't really surprised by the story. Although Mum was caught out by some of the "jumps"! Beforehand we went to the JD Wetherspoons very close by, The White Stag. It's right across from our new theatre (I'll have to take a photo for you) and just behind the cinema, so it's perfectly situated for trade. As usual it was hard to find an empty table - they either had people sat at them or were used as a repository for dirty glasses/ dishes. I swear the chain keeps its prices down by being under-staffed. The barmaid serving me was exceptionally rude to some old wifies calling for service from the other side of the bar. They were in the right IMHO, because they'd been waiting longer than me. But this is a pub that allocates staff to certain areas of the bar, and they were really quite rude to her first. Anyway, meant I got served quickly. Mum had a panini with Wiltshire Ham and Cheddar. I had a Reggae Reggae (type of spicy sauce) wrap. We shared a portion of chips between us. I hadn't reaslied mine came with sliced tomato, so had to hoik it all out. It was a lovely and friendly session before the film. |

My second date this week!
I ordered a pizza a couple of months ago from Pizza Hut and complained via email about the quality. I received a £5 gift card a few weeks later - long after I expected a response. So, with it being half-term, I went to Pizza Hut with Mum and Dad and my gift card. They have an Early Bird Special which is a pizza, unlimited salad, garlic bread (or potato wedges) and a soft drink, all for six quid. We had the same deal in Cardiff and again with my bro in London. This time we chose to have two between three, which was perfect, we all finished what we had and having skipped lunch (the deal is 15.00-17.00) we have now also skipped tea! Again, good conversation, good laughs and a lovely time out. The total bill was £13.50 after my gift card, but that's because Dad and I had a beer. I paid for my beer, but Mum put the money forward as a tip, which was fine by me. Garlic bread and half my portion of salad. |

Jalapenoes were a free addition to the limited options for pizza toppings, so I added them to the pepperoni pizza.
Then picked them all off for Mum's sake. The other one we had was chicken & red onion. That one was a bit tasteless actually. I've had it with jalapenoes before... I caught Mum & Dad out a bit with this photo. OMG Dad looks gaunt ![]() |

He doesn't really look that different. And most importantly he looks just as happy.

Is there a reason you and your mom wear your hair the same style? It looks cute, but for some reason I don't remember too many moms and daughters doing that.

Mum's and my hairstyles are always in a state of flux.
If they look similar now it is simply coincidence. Mine really needs cutting, I'm just waiting til payday, whereas Mum had hers cut on the day the photo was taken (Great Aunt Emma's funeral today, so she wants to look her best). Her hair is much thicker than mine and needs a lot of taming. Mine is the opposite - I haven't had it this long in a while because it's so flyaway and does my head in. |
