Lee came in from work, and as always woke me up with a coffee. Usually I sit up drink the coffee and go back to sleep. This morning I was wide awake within seconds, my mind a whirl, the new job, mum and dad's house going up for sale in fact anything. So I gets me out of bed, and camped on the sofa with the laptop watching the Sky+ which is nearly full of programs I usually love to watch but until recently haven't been motivated to watch.
Think I'm turning a corner.

Have a great weekend all.

As you know this year has been...well let's say....shit!

Anyhoo...this week I began looking for work.

Last night I saw my ideal job online. Managing TLO's (I was a TLO in my last job) I called the agency today, was interviewed at 2.30 and start tomorrow at 10am.......YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE

Memo to self.......

Just because Lee could only attend the day "do", didn't mean I had to drink his arrival drink, his wine and then continue to drink into the wee small hours.

This morning was written off as every time I opened my eyes my head hurt, so I didn't!

Still Abi gets back from her school trip from Germany at 10pm so probably a good idea to get a lay in.

Have a good sunday all

Nicola and Nick Patching are close friends of ours. We first met Nicky when she came into the pub we ran and asked for a bar job, that was in 1995. We have been friends ever since. They're a fantastic couple and have two beautiful children Paige & Cameron. Nicky and Lee share the same birthday, though as she often reminds him, he was born ten years before her.

Today they got married and I was honoured to be asked to do a reading during the service. Below is the reading I did. Was so nice to have something to celebrate.

The key to love is understanding…
The ability to comprehend not only the spoken word
But those unspoken gestures,
The little things that say so much by themselves.
The key to love is forgiveness…
To accept each others faults and pardon mistakes
Without forgetting, but with remembering
What you learn from them.
The key to love is sharing…
Facing your good fortune as well as the bad, together.
Both conquering problems, forever searching for ways
To intensify your happiness
The key to love is giving…
Without thought of return,
But with the hope of just a simple smile
And by giving in but never giving up.
The key to love is respect…
Realising that you are two separate people, with different ideas.
That you don’t belong to each other,
You belong with each other, and share a mutual bond.
The key to love is inside us all…
It takes time and patience to unlock all the ingredients.
It is the continual learning process that demands a lot of work….
But the rewards are more than worth the effort…
And that is the key to love!
