Hello - I feel i know you all already.

Hi

I just wanted to say a big HELLO to everyone, however i have been lurking for ages and ages, so i do know a lot about you all.

I am from Cheshire, England, i live with my husband, who i have been married to for nearly 25 years, my gorgeous daughter who is 23, still lives at home - thankfully (just dont want to think about her EVER leaving home. And finally my little gorgeous Yorkie baby - Harvey, who is just over 3 years old and weighs 3.5lb. He is just my little angel, my daughter says i think more of him than her!!!! not quite true but it is extremely close - ha ha ha.

I work full time as a housing officer, placing people in social housing, i love love my job, but am actually off ill at the moment - i am recovering from swine flu, it has been very nasty, still really bad cough, but am feeling much better. I just hate being home though, when you are used to being active with work etc, it is a struggle for me doing nothing - only so much TV i can stand.

Thinking of things to tell you about myself............ Oh, we have a holiday home in Wales, which we try to get to as much as we can, its right by the sea and Harvey just loves the beach and chasing the seagulls - he can never catch them though, thankfully. We have moved to a new home 3 months ago, i now live in a bungalow, as opposed to a house - and i love it so much, best thing i ever did, so much easier to keep clean etc, we are very happy here.

Been thinking a lot about Christmas, and in a moments madness have invited all the family to us for Christmas day, 12 people in total, may not seem many, but to me its a big task - i am worried now, so wait until nearer the time!!!!!

Oh well i think i have waffled on too long already, i will enjoy being part of this site.

Thanks to Janet for the welcome.

Bye for now.
