Belated happy new year to anyone and everyone out
there! Been taking a good blog rest
after our epic American road trip and now it’s time to jump back in the saddle (or
keyboard) to get back into the blogging swing of things as the devil always
finds work for idle hands.
I’m in mourning for the loss of yet another year and the
much rumoured demise of The Sun’s Page 3 although due to slimming, any
aspirations I had of making a few extra quid by getting my boobies out have
dwindled like the current temperatures.
My nipples are already looking like a couple of wooden dowelling pegs
thanks to the recent chilly mornings and office economy drive. Banks may have pots of money sloshing about
for annual bonuses but ours can barely afford heating! Brrrr!!
Gardening’s definitely out of the question as I don’t fancy
frostbite but outstanding outdoor jobs are piling up like leaves on the
lawn. What’s really needed are a few
dry, bright weekends and some heavy duty gardeners thermals to rally us into
much needed action. But never fear, if
gardening is temporarily off the agenda, there’s a new project taking root as
we speak.
2015 is the year of the new kitchen. (I’m sure I saw it on one of those bamboo
calendars at our local Chinese takeaway).
I’m not talking any old kitchen either but a complete re-design. It’s out with the old and in with the new,
none of this ‘make do and mend’ mentality round here. There’ll be no sneaking on replacement doors
or handles on my watch. Quotes are
already being gathered, pennies are already being counted and everything that
isn’t tied down is being listed on Ebay (kids included!).
In time honoured banking tradition, I’m giving my new
project a snappy project title. Perhaps
something like Project Phoenix (although that might suggest I’m torching the
old kitchen first) or Project Croesus (blimey, new kitchens cost an arm and a
leg you know!). Come to think of it,
perhaps the cash would be better off spent on another fabulous holiday ….
