Hello I'm back.
I do apologise for being offline for a long time, but I have been very busy moving house and with work.

anyway a big congratulations to my friend Carol and Craig - who have just announced that they are having a baby. This seems to be the year for babies, firstly Tosha gave birth to the beautifully cute Indigo on New Years Day! Welldone Tosha and Nic. Secondly Conchita is expected to pop this week - we've heard nothing so far! and Finally Lisa and Paul are expecting their first baby too!

looks like I may be busy popping round for baby cuddles this year.
Me on the other hand or should I say arm, have decided to re-new my implant in my arm - so I have no worries for another 3 years in that department.

I must also say congratulations to Karen and Andy who are getting married in March this year, they have asked Phoebe to be a bridesmaid! I'll post photos when I have them.

So what is everybodies plans for this year?
