McD's Sealife and Bye Bye :(

Took the girlies to McDonald's for lunch and then to the Sealife Centre. Aniello & I had never been before so it was an experience. Lina & Layan had a nice time and enjoyed themselves. We had a lovely afternoon with those precious girls and I'm going to miss them so much. It gets harder each time to say goodbye to them not knowing when we'll see them again. Goodness knows how awful it is for my sister if it's this bad for me :( Just can't wait for the day when they're over here for good and no more partings!

God Bless and Safe journey to them all! xXx

Mum and sis made a lovely tea for us all. I think there were13 of us altogether. It was like a Thanksgiving seeing as it was Thanksgiving Day here. 

There's a lot of snow falling in the North and East of the UK but none here. Doesn't look like we're going to get any either. Mum will be pleased anyway, she hates the ice. Well she is 76 and she's nervous of falling and breaking her hip. 

Here are a few pic's of today.

Town with the girlies

Went to town yesterday with mum, Dandan, Seela, Lina & Layan. Bought Lina an outfit and had a mosy around the shops. Had tea at West Coast and saw Tracey who use to work for us in the cafe. She hasn't changed. Still as daft as ever love her. 
It's very cold here in Blackpool today but no snow sad to say. I don't think we'll get any to be honest. 
It's Dandan's last day today before heading back to NC tomorrow. Horrible saying goodbye. Mum's making dinner for us all so seeing as it's Thanksgiving Day today we'll be celebrating with our American friends. 
I've just made a new blog layout for the first time in a year. I think it's ok. Love the scrap kit from Luna Design's. Just what I needed for a Winter layout.
Trying to think of where to take Lina & Layan because I promised to take them out today. Hard to think of somewhere that doesn't cost the earth just before Christmas!

Cold today brrrrrrr!

It was a frosty start to the day today. Getting colder now brrrr.
Ermelinda had her teeth out yesterday and all went well. She was so brave bless her.
Picked my nephew up from Manchester airport today. He's been over to Saudi and the first thing he did when he set foot outside the airport was take a deep breath in through his nose and said " Oh I can smell the grass" lol. Better than all that dusty sand in Saudi I bet!
Stayed at my sister's for a couple of hours making the most of my niece being over from America. Love that girl and her two girlies so much and I dread them going back :(
Took some pics of Lina & Layan in their new hats and gloves. Gorgeous x

My three Great Nieces

I was in town on Saturday with Ermelinda and walking back to the car spotted my other two great nieces Lina & Layan. Here's a pic of the adorable trio :)

Great week-end for Blackpool

This has been one of the best week-ends for Blackpool publicity wise for years. Children in Need, Strictly come dancing and Prince William visiting. WOW! 
I went to see the CIN show on North Pier and the atmosphere was fantastic. Some great acts on too. I got to see Josie & John, JJ, Sam & Brian so I was happy. I had some lovely flashbacks of shows I went to in that lovely theatre as a young girl. Mum used to take my sister and I to all the best shows in Blackpool.
The only wish is that I could get a ticket for the SCD show when it comes to the Tower Ballroom. I've tried three times now and never managed to get one! Won't stop me trying again next year though. 
William was here for his friend's stag do and went to watch the Blackpool/Wolves match. Blackpool won 2/1 YES!!! He then spent a couple of hours in the Pleasure Beach before reportedly watching the Funny Girls show. HA! 
Anyway, it's not a good day today. I have to take my precious little God-daughter to hospital at 2pm to have 6 teeth extracted. Poor baby. She has to have an anaesthetic which is why I'm so worried. Hate the thought of it but she's suffering with toothache and being so young it's the best way to take them out. I hope her mum & dad make sure she looks after the next set better than her baby one's!
Weatherwise it's nice & sunny but cold today. I can do cold but not rain so am happy with that :)

Genealogy

I've spent the whole day researching my sister-in-law's maternal line and I have enjoyed it so much. I traced my tree 4 years ago and haven't done much detective work since. I'd forgotten how engrossing and enjoyable it is. It's also very tiring but so far I've got back to 1798 with lots of info that my SIL didn't know. She's so excited. Might stop now though because I'm going bog eyed :/

Josie and John James Ice skating. Love it! x
