Feb 20th was my birthday & i had loads of cards & visit's from family & presents from my family too, ahh so blessed, esp the presents i recieved from my dd, 2 little toys & a eraser from her room, a picture she draw & a chocolate "bounty" bar, now the bounty bar was her desert one evening & she saved it for me, i knew about this because she asked me to help her wrap it up in take away flyers that was posted through the door one day, bless her cotton sock's!!

I had a girls night out saturday 25th as that was the nearest day i could round up me girl's, cheer's!!!


All my photo's that i had taken on my cell phone that night turned out AWEFUL!!! but i will keep them as they are still MY memories & i will scrap them too, oh i do have a good photo im waiting to get here through the post, a woman was going around & taking photo's for £3 each every night out we have, we buy a photo because we know its the only decent one we'l probally get.

So today me & gary went to the ice rink, its so nice to be able to go when the kids are at school, i felt a bit guilty at first as the kids are at school missing out on the fun, but its a chance for us to get in a bit of "our" time & the ice rink is a special place for us, it's where we met. ekk


Our ice rink is really run down, so i suppose that one of alot of reasons why they are pulling it down, we'l be sad to see it go, so we want to get in as much ice time as possible.


& i want to try & take all the pictures we can too, my new "compact" camera came yesturday, a little nikon coolpix & so these photo's are not very good, im thinking this is why i upgraded all those yrs ago!! But i'l keep the camera, it will be good for the kids to take photo's later too.

We went to the skating shop before we went to the rink today & i managed to buy myself a new pair of boot's, & got them sharpened too, look at these babies!!!


I was a bit wobbly at first as so many things was wrong with my old boots, the support was gone & so that made skating difficult & my right foot leaned in so much my boot almost touching the ice, so as i was use to skating like that it took all of about 10mins to get the hang of these ones, but i am in love, hehe


Whilst we was a the skate shop i saw this hocky tape, what hocky players use to bind the blade part of thier stick & use wax on it too, to help them glide along the ice & play with the puck better, they gave me it because i was rambling on about my other hobby "scrapbooking" & when i saw it i though ahh i could use that on my pages so i was telling them all about echo park & my little shoe box, etc...na they was really interested, lol


This is my knee, beautiful isnt it, well as im typing this 7 hours later after taking this photo, my whole knee is a beautiful shade of purple all over the knobbly bit & its not so knobbly anymore, where it is that swollen & i burned my elbow too!!
I took a fall, a BIG fall i was skating along, FAST & the front of my blade went in a dipp, i lost my balance & fell forward & slide for about 7ft, i thought i broke my knee at first!! But im fine just bruised ego & knee, i got up rested for a bit & got back on the ice...happy days xx

Thanks for stopping by
