1,000th!

Just looked at my counter and nearly at 1,000 visitors to this site, I could delude myself thinking i'm popular but most of it is due to Blog explotion! My other site which I have been running for 18 months and put a lot more work into has less than 200 visitors which have come from me 'selling' it on forums etc I visit so much more realistic figure!

If you want to have a look at it please feel free as It has taken a lot more hard graft than this one so I like it when I know someone looks at my hard work. Just CLICK HERE! To have a look!

Anyway thanks to everyone who has read my site and wishing myself happy 1'000th very soon!

Car's 2!!

Sorry I'm a bit late updating, time getting the better of me again!

On the saga of my car it turns out it was one of the bearings going on the driver front wheel which had started making a rumbling noise but not yet vibrating so hence me thinking it might be a noise from the engine, expensive but not as bad as I thought it might have been!

However my car saga goes on, I had to drive in to London today so I decided not to risk making my car worse (being fixed Friday) so I took my Hubby's company car (with permission of course!) and about 5 miles from home on a duel carriage way at 60 mph I got a puncture!! So by the time I got it fixed was 1 1/2 hours late for work!

Oh well, that is life. Years ago I would have got really stressed and worried about it, I must be calming down with the ageing process! However my hubby doesn't know yet as he is away and phone on voicemail.....He will have to get the tyre sorted tomorrow as it's just the emergency tyre on the car at the moment!

Oh and i'm coming down with a cold!!

Cars!

Not a happy bunny! My car has decided to make funny noises from the engine, i'm taking it in to the garage but as it is short notice they are going to look at it and let me know what's wrong but won't be able to do any work on it. Sadly the noise sounds expensive!

I'll post tomorrow the verdict from the garage...fingers crossed it's not as bad as i'm thinking it could be!

Working hard..

Well I have loads to do this weekend, all boring stuff like house cleaning etc! Well I have cleaned downstairs and the kitchen, mowed the lawn and started to cut the hedges etc and I still have loads on my to do list....but the chair in the garden is calling my name and I have a blister on my finger so working is hurting me now. What do you reckon I should do....

....well I have tomorrow as well to finish my to do list, looks like the chair has won. I might do a little more later on!

Lead 1 Weekend

As promised below is a few photo's from my weekend away, looks like I am being very lucky with the weather at the moment as well!




The new Hardwick Hall, sadly the only time I had free was on Friday and the Hall is closed on a Friday! However the gardens were open.




The Old Hardwick Hall, also not open on a Friday!




Basecamp where we were stopping, handily the pub was right behind the base, what more could you want!




Finally I camped over for one night before going home in the Edale Valley in Derbyshire and this is the view from my tent in the morning when I got up, I didn't want to go home!

Missing!

If anyone was wondering where I have been just to let you know I haven't fallen of the edge of the planet!

I was away over the weekend doing a leadership training course to become a leader for the National Trusts working holidays. Which i'm pleased to say I passed, thanks to the tutors and the good companyand help of the others on the course!

I also camped for a night before I came home from the weekend in stunning scenery in Edale valley in Derbyshire, I of course took photo's which I will post on here either later today or tomorrow! I am a busy girl at the moment, pity I have to go back to the daily routine of work!

This weeks poll..

...is a little sureal, not sure where it came from, somewhere in the reccess of my mind! I think the results should be interesting anyway! Please spare a few seconds to vote...Thanx!

I WON!!

Ok, it's not that exciting, but I actually won a battle on battle of the blogs on Blog Explosion. After getting completey and utterly defeated last time by a blog about coffee!! I wasn't going to have another go, but I had quite a few credits and thought why not! Although now I'm quitting whilst I'm even!
