we're off!

packed and ready to go. only a small bit more cleaning and some cat food purchasing to go, then we catch the bus to Heathrow at half four.

So in theory we will be celebrating new year before everyone here, although i haev a funny feeling we may be asleep for one or both new year deadlines!

here's to a happy new year to all and a great 2008! see you in feb x

party on sat night went well with some interesting outfits. I chose to recycle one of many bridesmaid dresses i have in my cupboards. This one was 15 years old , worn without the yellow headdress but in all other ways I still looked gorgeous! cheers sal and jon....
