Well!

Went to bed at 8pm last night. My delightful 11 year old was stressing me out so I sent her to bed and retired to my bed to read. Lee and Matt were out at the Iron Maiden concert (they enjoyed very much ta!) I was woken up at 12.30am by Lee, to ask if I wanted a coffee. Nice thought but I was asleep

Lee then came to bed an proceeded to snore, so I put on the TV. Film 4 +1 was showing cats and dogs, a top film I haven't seen for ages so I watched that. Because i was awake the pain called for another dose of drugs and at 3am me, the dog and the invisible spiders were on the settee watching crappy films on Sky.

Had a call from my boss this morning, tonight is the management xmas do and I declined the invite. She was telling me how much they would miss me (I do tend to get pished and make a fool of mesen!) and that they would raise a glass to absent friends. Enter two hours of crying and I was doing soooo well.

Had two lots of visits from friends I haven't seen for months to drop off christmas cards so had a nice afternoon of gossip, but am afraid the lack of sleep is catching up on me. Still lee will be in soon, he finished work at 8.30 but is changing the tyres on my nephews car as some pillar of the community slashed all four during the night!

Lee is then off for two whole days, Abi finishes school at 1pm tomorrow so we will have some quality family time, I even promise not to cry!

Avrilo, is my secret Santa for this year. Her blog can be found at:

http://thesingingmidwife.blog.co.uk/

Why not go meet her yourself!

To quote Groucho Marx: A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five. It’s been a while since I wrote anything more than the back of a doctor’s note, but here goes.

So I'll begin.....

Avrilo lives in a wooden house in the woods, it sounds a magical place she first joined the land of blog on the 30th November 2005, tempted onto this illicit and immoral world by the blogs of Scoffle.

Avrilo does what it says on the tin (or blog title) she is a midwife, but is currently looking for a different career. She will miss her job though as I feel like any good midwife she does/did it for the pleasure of helping her fellow women through the best and scariest time of their lives.

Avrilo's main passion is singing, she sings in an acapella group called Scarabella, interesting they are all girls (perhaps they are the acapella version of the spice girls). At the moment she is in the process of setting up her own business, offering a personalized song service via the world wide interweb. I feel it will be very successful. She comes across in her blog as a very creative person so I look forward to watching the business grow.

Avrilo’s blog began by her stating the menu of the day in the Avrilo household; Mr Avrilo is one lucky man as many a culinary delight is placed before him on his return from work. I have to admit having to stop to eat whilst reading through the blog entries, her menus sound delicious. The blog has evolved into a mixture of menus, thoughts, creativity and humour.

Avrilo enjoys spending special time with her granddaughters and ensures through their visits they will have memories of their stay, making nana’s house a very special place to be. She enjoys blogging and has made many blog friends, offering support and grateful for support offered to her.

I’m glad I got Avrilo as my secret Santa it was nice to pay her a visit 
