CELEBRATION....and sadness

Well this has certainly not been the start to 2012 that I envisaged........

First a really big CONGRATULATIONS to our DD Heidi and her partner Steve (both in life and business) for picking up the Wedding Ideas Magazines award for the best 'Special Touches' on Friday night at their annual award ceremony. GiddyKipper was nominated last year and could not believe their luck when this time they won. I was able to watch on the live feed and it was brilliant.






Thank you to any of you that voted for them, I admit to blatantly promoting them at any opportunity, but I think the award shows that they have won on good customer service and brilliant products.


On a slightly less happy note, my posts may not be as regular as I had intended for the next few weeks as my beautiful older sister is very poorly in hospital. The awful 'C' word among other things and today she is having a big operation, so I have everything crossed for her and her husband Ted, who is an absolute brick and visits her every day, by bus, an hour and a half journey each way and has not complained at all. Sylvia has been in hospital a week now and will be there for some time, so my visits here may be a bit erratic. I will read any comments and thank you for them, but forgive me if I perhaps dont get to reply to you all.

Have a good week yourselves, I will try to keep popping by and reading your news. It does cheer me up.

A quick PS. Thank you for all the lovely comments, I am always amazed at the kindness of strangers here in blogland.
I am also very relieved to report that the operation has gone well, a first good step in a long journey.

  1. How horribly stressful :-(. I hope her operation goes well and that things look up soon.

    And well done to your daughter!
