Saltaire Best Back Passage Update!

Every year saltaire has a best backyard competition and last year me and steve entered along with the rest of our rabble. we lost, kate and ben won. We were very bittered and twisted at losing out to a cheap tin cup!

Anyway, we've improved the garden so its bigger and better this year (see below for pics).

The closing date was the 21st July and the judges have been spied up steph backpassage!! She's was even more suprised as she did'nt even enter...

Just waiting for the results next week, fingers crossed!!!!!

Ann's Hen Do in Amsterdam 1

I just got back last night from ann's hen do in amsterdam - it was bloody marvellous, fab laugh, fab city, fab vodka and fab company!

Me and Rich were honary hens for the weekend along with 28 other ladies! We flew out on the friday night as we're not morning people and so we could have a boys night out in town.

Some of my highlights were:-

• Greeting the Girls on their arrival from our Royal Box at the Hotel.
• The policemen outside the restaurant!
• Rich and Ruth abusing a poor statue in rembrandt square and then disturbing a couple in the bushes behind..
• Our Madonna Medley Skip, Hop and Danceathon through Amsterdam at 3 in the morning
• Some of the girls and boys pimping their wears in "one of those doors"
• The invasion of mice outside our hotel and the pyscho spanish man......
• And our discussions into how their pitches could be improved with taseful home furnishings, pot porri, tie backs and doilies oh and they should cleaning their windows more often and should wear a tasteful classy outifit rather than some grey washed out bra and undies.

Here's a few pics for your delight. Mum i apologise now for the last picture me and rich were forced to pose with the item in question..... hmmmm

Diva Espana - Even More Evidence!!!

Diva Espana - The Pictures!!!

Here's a few of the pictures from steve's party on saturday night!

Diva Espana - 3 Days to Go!

Well it seems steve has a strange form of turrets and rather than swearing spitting or twitching he just invites anybody and everybody to his party. If all turn up we'll have 41!!! At new year we have upto 20 and that was busy.....

They're all getting into the spanish theme a few of the neighbours are going dressing up like carmen miranda (is she spanish?) the rest will be flamenco dancers, matadors and i'll be shaking my maracas.

hasta luego amigos!

Happy Birthday Stevie!!!

Steve's 35 today!

Happy Birthday Baby!

Sad News

Just got a phone call last last night from Rich, he'd just heard that one of our work colleagues at barbican had committed suicide a few days earlier.

Jan, worked on reception and she was a bit dizzy and scatty. We used to have a laugh as she could never remember the name of the bands and acts who were playing there and kept on getting them wrong. A prime example was ocean colour scene. She could never remember it and kept on call them the deep blue sea band!??!

She had a fair few problems going in her life but it is so sad that someone feels the only way out is this.

I hadn't spoken to Jan since i left barbican a few years back. But me, rich and a fair few of the barbican clan will be at the service friday to say goodbye and support her daughter and grandchild.
