To all my friends on GOY (especially SBG) we would like to give you some exciting news….

Our very first water lily bloomed today :o)

hehehe who thought we were anouncing something else? :o)

Isnt it beautiful, she wasnt open this morning when I checked, but after an day out to Wroxham barns with some family and friends hubby came running in all smiley and grabbed his camera. Milky had mentioned to keep an eye on it… Boy was she right (thanks Milky)

Oh and I have a saturday job!!! wohoo just at the local convenience store 2 min walk from my house for 6 hours, but it means i have a bit of spending money to myself :o) well I say myself but a little girl whom I adore has a birthday at the beginning of October and so some of my weekly wage will be going towards her presents. Yes she is spoilt rotton but as she is my one and only then I have every right to do so, plus she has to put up with me everyday she needs spoiling hehehe

Oh yes guess what?
I am now insured on hubbys picasso and drove today with Cody in it. The first time since before she was born so about 3 years off the road!!

talk about sweating, I was so nervous but it went like a dream. Just round the block and back Cody thought it was hilarious Mummy driving and not Daddy.

well thats about it then peeps just a few pics from our day out of Cody and her friend Alfie aaaaahhhhhh

love to all

Great news all round mookins, lovely lily (well I would say all lilies are lovely wouldn't I!), some pocket money for you, Cody and the garden and freedom to drive to the garden centre whenever you want. Then you can sneak home and hide the evidence! I hate driving but the car knows it's own way to the GC so that's OK. Well done and good luck with the job, have you started it yet?

Pretty lilly flower :-) I got one last year and it flowered too, but no flowers at all this year - very dissappointed :-( Well done getting back behind the wheel - not easy after a long break.

That's a Bee-you-ti-ful water lily! :-))
Well done for your bravery in driving again - that took some nerve!

And your new job - three nice things in one blog! xxx

I'm with Ian - I thought you were going to say you were having a new addition to the family, and I don't mean a dog or cat! Congrats on all your good news, hope the job's enjoyable.
