She won't be the ugly duckling for much longer...

Icy window a few days ago.

I meant to post this when I took the picture, my bedroom window all iced up. The reason I'm blogging it now is because I'm at the doctor's bored out my arse because he's running an hour and fifteen minutes late. How can that be the case only two hours into the working day? Lame.

Can you tell which bits I have rubbed down?

Pretty!

Freaking awesome!!

The day I have been preparing for...

A massive thank you to Gary for helping me on the day, Graham for the
welding tips and the bosses at West End Studios for lending me the
spray booth for a couple of weeks.

Propper job!!

Lovely jubbley

Ta da!!

Now to fill it...

Let's get cooking

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right

It's not even got decorations on it yet!

Yay!

Christmas tree!

While Sam is busy doing his car, I've been busy shaving down the tree to fit in the stand. Shame we don't have time to decorate the thing until Sunday!

I've been meaning to get that dent out for ages!!

I have had the best birthday ever. Cards, presents, cup of tea with my beautiful girl, a happy birthday message from my Uncle in America and all before I even set off in the morning. Then followed by a full day working on Charlie the Mini at work in the spray booth getting her ready for a fresh lick of paint.

As soon as I got home I got showered and changed and whisked away to Oliver's, the best restaurant in town to celebrate a birthday, with Verity and and Verity's mum Lynne. Thank you everyone!!

Exciting huh?!

Another mini adventure...

... Watch this space!

Birthday starts today

For the first time in ages I am actually in Sussex for my birthday and
I have the week off next week. V has been planning a surprise for
ages, the car has been loaded up and we are about to set off.

It's Verity's face!

Spot the imprint of two people who have had one or two beverages...

At least he saved the wine...

Although after laughing manically I got my phone out to take a picture and dropped it in the snow. You'd think it was midnight the amount we've had...

And a few beverages with friends to continue a most spectacular day...

Fangita the snowchav...

A very rare treat to build up our strength for the important snowman building day ahead...

That used to be our driveway...

I could not be more thrilled to have a day off with Sam and friends because of the snow, no doubt pictures of snowmen to follow! All together now, snooooooowww daaaaaayyyy!!!!!!
