Lust away babes - but to follow through, you'll have to come visit 
Then we can see just how many bottles of vodka go into one of these mothers
The lads have left, the bathroom isn't quite finished but OK for me to have a shower, about time or I'd be reported to Environmental Health In to work tomorrow but only the morning then off to Ikea (again) for two more base cupboards, and that's it.
Here's a couple of pics of my bedroom, with a close up of the paper - I just love it! It's only on one wall, the rest is painted white. Ignore the wrinkles, they will have gone by the morning (unlike mine!).

Very nice! My dining room paper is exactly the same colours (or it will be when I finally take it out of the carrier bag and actually get it on the wall)

Have fun, do everything I'd do and more and I'll 'see' you on the 26th xxx

Well lovelies I've had two fab days in Barcelona but as about 10 of us wait in the hotel to go to the ship it's all thunder and lightening, with snow throughout the Med and VERY rocky seas! No mention of icebergs so far.
You'll be glad to know that instead of panicking we're all deciding what cocktails to have when we get on board lol because we've all bought the inclusive drinks package, so may spend the next four days getting sozzled!
Love and kisses, S

Hi lovelies!
I'm back, still in one piece and feeling on top of the world The cruise was brilliant fun, met some great people and we had many lovely cocktails to get over the fact that we were sailing at the edge of the awful storm that hit Sardinia. I did actually think we were in trouble on the second night! Barcelona is beautiful, a very elegant city and I can't wait to go back.
Also had a fabulous three day tour round the Abruzzo region in Italy. What a gorgeous place! It's more dramatic than Tuscany, with mountains to one side and sea the other, and with some very picturesque hillside villages - in fact, I've found The One for me It's called Palombaro and felt just right Here's a link to some pics until I get mine uploaded - Town of Palombaro. Now all I have to do is rob a bank...
Ate like there was no tomorrow the entire time - all day buffets and restaurant quality evening meals on the cruise were hard to resist, as well as the gorgeous home cooked meals at a lovely agriturismo we stayed at called L'Uliveto, including much pasta. I'm sure you all realised I fell off the l/c wagon some time ago, and after much reflection I think I'm going to go back to a carb woe with more veg, make everything from scratch and just keep it simple for a while. My bank account is now cleaned out and I really need to reduce my food costs, so it will be lots of bean slow cooker meals for me through the winter
Anyway it's lovely to be back and I'll catch up on all your news over the next few days xxx

Welcome back lovely. Great pics, so glad you had a wonderful time. Love Italy, but only been to Tuscany. I play the lottery in hope every week. I don't update my diary I'm still cal counting and loving it. I'll send you a link of a good site I found. He's straight talking but that's what I need. x

Oooh yes please Val, I'd love to see that. Went shopping today and bought Gino D'Acampo's book, the Italian Diet. A mediterranean woe really appeals to me, so will give it a shot from Monday
and get myself into the italian way of eating - they really do know how to enjoy life! Here's a pic of a gorgeous village called Colledimezzo -
And here's a pic of the Maiella mountains from the balcony of the agriturismo I stayed at.
Toni - I missed Orby dreadfully while I was away but she was very well looked after and loved by the housesitters. She was quite scared of me when I first trundled in (at 1.30am in the morning
- I got the last plane out of Pescara before they closed the airport because of snow!) - but we're loving cuddly friends again now

Whatever it takes!
Lovely photos! Glad u n orbs are best of cuddle friends again, she's such a character!
As for the Italian way of eating, you're speaking my language, all that stuff, olive oil, basil, tomatoes - fresh n sun dried, good bread, cured meats, every thing fresh and not processed, oh yum! Let's not forget the red wine!? (which I hear is low carb too as the yeast eats up all the sugar in the fermentation process - providing it is dry wine). Good luck hun x
