Awww Memories!!!

Now as i'm sure you are all aware by now my darling and most gorgeous friend Marrisa and i have been friends for the longest time since summer 1995 and whilst finally getting around to sorting through my photos for them to be put in albums, i came across these wonderful memories of Marrisa and myself on one of her many trips down to my flat in London from Darlington.
On this trip it was for a special occasion for the christening of my hansom son James. It is with great pride that Marrisa is his godmother.

In the photo below i'm at Marrisa's house for the first of many trips. This trip has really strong memories for me as it was in this trip that i believe our beautiful strong friendship was set in stone and from this it was a case of i knew i had found the best friend i could ever ask for no matter the distance from our homes we were the closet in our hearts, even now that she is the other side of the world with her fabulous husband and stunning daughter our friendship is still as strong as it was.


My darling gorgeous friend i miss you everyday and you are always in my thoughts and you are always in my heart. We have made some wonderful memories in our past and although i don't see you i know that we are still making memories together with our families for our futures that we still will share. Distance has nothing on us babe because we are in each others hearts and our friendship will always be strong.


You've been my best friend forever,
and will always be together.
Through the laughs,
and through the tears.

Your there whether I need advise,
or just a simple pep talk.
You listen to me with all your heart,
and your always honest with me.

You help me up when I'm down.
You lifted me of the ground.
Your like a guardian angel to me,
I know you will always be here for me.

I can come to you with anything,
I can trust you with all my secrets.
You've been my best friend forever,
and will always be together!

"THANK YOU" for being my friend.

Stephanie's new life!!

Well it has been awhile hasn't it since i blogged so i should update you all as to what has been going on the last couple of months. Stephanie has now left Chatham south school and moved on to a new secondary school The Robert Napier School.

I decided that this would be the best move for her as she was not happy, since around last Easter Stephanie had changed into a child i did not recognise and one that i really didn't like much, her grades slipped along with her confidence my bright bubbly girl was not who she use to be! It took a long time to get out of her what was wrong and as to why she was not happy!

When she did finally tell me i found out that she was being bullied i was mortifed that some really nasty children could do this to my sweet girl who never did any harm to anyone she just wanted to learn and be liked but unfortunatly this was not meant to be.

After meetings with the school for some considerable months and one more physical assualt and one final row for me with her head of year i said enough is enough and took her out of the school! It amazes me their attitude towards bullying was appalling they just didn't seem to care, the only thing they seemed to care about was there stats and that they were loosing a straight A student and how that reflected on them!

Now that Stephanie has changed school she is happier than ever and back with her group of friends she grew up with and is back to her old self again. With glasses!!!!!

Doesn't she look adorable!!!!!!!!

Not much happening!!

Even though there is not much happening other than the usual daily routine of school runs and general day to day stuff i took some new photos of my gorgeous children, it's still surprises me even after 13years of being a mum just how quick kids can change and grow so we have to picture every moment of their live's now as quick and as often as you can.

Even me, i look at myself and say cor blimey girl your going to be 30 this year ( i do hate this idea mind you ) I'm not looking forward to getting another year older although i will be out celebrating it's a milestone in itself especially in my rollercoaster life!

The one child that shocks me the most is Stephanie, just how much can she change she turned 13 on new years eve just gone and i cannot understand where the time has gone one minute she was a gorgeous baby in my arms and now she is a gorgeous teenager where has the time gone? I'm confused and seriously feeling old now!

They have all changed in their own ways James hit that double figure of 10 now and with each day gets more hansome, Sophie has turned 6 and blimey don't we all know it he he, but still it's all gone so quick i miss them being babies so much, but i'm glad they are growing up to be indiviuals and with such different personalities. Sure they fight alot and and have their quarrels, but thankfully they are as close as any siblings can be and i'm so proud of them for being who they are. I just hope that this world we live in doesn't corrupt them to much i will do my hardest to make sure they don't that's for sure.

Christmas in North wales 2007!

This christmas i decided that the kids and me would spend it with my Mam and Dad in north wales being the first christmas in years that it has just been the kids and me i didn't feel i could spend it on my own.
So on the 20th of december we loaded up the car and drove to north wales, this is site we were greeted with when we arrived! We all was so chuffed to see this even at gone midnight and after a 41/2 hour journey Mam and Dad had done us proud.

This was what greeted us the following morning although being brisk and cold the skies were blue and gorgeous. A lovely fresh morning was just what we all needed after a long old journey.

Twas the night before christmas and all around the house was quiet and u could even hear a mouse or the cat Tottie, maybe even santa who knows the kids were out cold.

Christmas morning as you can imagine was hectic as any other house on this festive day, we had fun the kids were not up to early thank god! So i got busy with the camera and started snapping away and got caught myself, not a very pretty site in the morning oh well what the heck it's christmas snap away.



This is Sandra she came to stay for christmas, Sandra is one of mum's oldest friends we all call her Aunty Sandra she is fab!

So after a few strong coffees we woke up and the kids started opening their pressie's. Well just the ones from santa anyway, the rest were opened throughout the day just before the gorgeous christmas dinner that my Dad cooked and then the last of them after dinner. My Gran also came to spend christmas day with us it was an absolutly wonderful day with the family together.

We had a wonderful time at Mam and Dad's it's was the christmas i needed after such an awful year.
SO HERE IS TO THE NEXT ONE LETS HOPE IT'S BETTER FOR ALL OF US! HERE WE COME 2008 THE PALMER FAMILY ON THE LOOSE SO WATCH OUT!!!!!!

Christmas Concerts

Today i went along to see James and Sophie's school christmas concerts it was absolutley amazing to watch my gorgeous young daughter sing a duet with another young boy dressed as an angel and believe me she sang like an angel the young boy with her was just as fabulous.

James was in the school choir and sang with such passion he was stunning we were not allowed to take photo's of the children while they were performing and i never got the chance to take any of him after the show as he went straight back to class slighty shy is my boy when it comes to other people around him.
But i'm sure you can imagine he looked amazing aswell!

My New Tattoo

Today i went along to have my new tattoo done on my lower back and "OH MY GOD" did it hurt but, hey no pain no gain!!


Although even after bending over for what seemed like an age i think it came out beautifully. The chap who did it for me done it free hand and its a design we came up with together so it unique and in a legue of it's own!!
