                               Happy New Year to you all!

England here we are...

A bit of wind made the boat rock a bit but we slept from it all. The princess and little man were very excited as were the daddy and I!

Today was shopping day...!! Tomorrow we're off to London to the science museum and to visit some good friends.

It's all about the meatballs!

Well, not everytime but today it was! I went to Ikea today with my mum and lunch there was the highlight of the day. I just love their meatballs with mash and gravy. Not healthy...? Ah, who cares when it's so delicious!

Obviously that was not enough for my hungry tummy. I had to have more.... Soft ice with hundreds and thousands went down a treat too.

I did do a bit of shopping as well, of course I did. Not too much but there's always things I need from Ikea. Actually I go quite often because it's very close (too close) to the hospital where I go every 4 weeks to have my medicine. After 2 hours of being remined that I have MS (I forget about it most of the time or try too), a bit of lovely food and retail therapy is needed (and deserved) don't you think? Only got this today, all of it is something I really need!

My favourite is the very pink umbrella and the fake flowers, which I keep buying everytime I'm there! Hope you had a lovely Friday too, I certainly did!

"These boots are made for walking"

... quite right that is. Not made for running though but try telling a child that! Anyway they are very cool and my sister and I both stopped and reached for them. Red, bright red cowboy-looking boots and in little sizes. The princess has the best moster (aunty) because she could not leave the shop without buying these red boots for her niece.
The boots have not been off the princess' feet ever since she got them and right now they're next to her bed (please see the first picture!) She's getting her beauty sleep now so she can be ready for her friend's birthday party tommorrow, of course wearing her new boots.
So without further ado here's the boots....

It's done....

...it really is! All the Christmas presents are bought. Yep, all of them... You don't believe me? Well, there are benefits with being disabled and having families in 2 countries. We shop nearly all online, it's easy, stress free, no queues, it's fun and we're enjoying having time to pick just the right present for everyone. This year we're in Denmark for Christmas and the English lot's presents are all done. I know, they're not wrapped in fine Christmas wrapping paper but there is a name on every present, and a brown soft envulope is just what you call "unique" wrapping! Actually the Danish lot's presents are done too and as we're here this year, they do get wrapped but not in "unique" wrapping!
This weekend the princess and the little man, with their daddy's help, have written their letters to Father Christmas. Wonder if their wishes come true....?
What do you wish for??
I wish for no snow, apart for the 23, 24, 25, 26th of December, snow and me with my stick and not too good walking is a bad combo.... Oh and an Ipad2 would be nice!

Just as a foot-note, here's what the princess said today looking at the computer about to play a game. "I can see the voice but I can't hear it talking...??" That sounded to us like "The lights are on, but no-one's home"!!!
