Meet Ramone......

He's a lovely little chap... goes by the name Ramone.... Ramone Reindeer....
This knitted character is on the front of my favourite Christmas card of the year...
This card was given to me by Babs, I can call Barbara Babs now, we've passed the 'hairdresser/client' barrier after all these years of well... let's just say counseling each other, as well as haircuts & colours....
Anyhoo.....
You can download your own photo's here & PhotoBox limited will donate 5% of the selling price of NSPCC greeting cards to the NSPCC’s Child’s Voice Appeal
So go on then,..... which is your favourite Christmas card of the year....?

My New TOY......


I was lucky enough this birthday to be bought the latest i phone, by James..

Reckon it was for good behaviour (mine not his...lol)

Only joking... !!


What a lucky girl I am though....


I love the things you can do with this phone, besides sending texts.....

(sorry Jen, I know you got more than your fair share of texts when I first got this, due to my finger accidentally slipping on the 'send' button sorry...!!)


& call someone, this camera is amazing... the apps you can download... & play about with the images & photo's are fab....

Here are some I've been playing around with...
