Another trip to the zoo!!

A picture says a thousand words, which is why I hardly post...Only pictures!!

Congrats Ads & Sophia!

We're still waiting to hear how the wedding went on the 25th! We have tried calling close to 50 times! Hoping that the photographers flash wasn't too bright - we know how hard Sophia has to try to keep her eyes open when having a photograph taken - I have proof!

I wish we could have been there. But, guys, giving us 5 weeks notice that you were getting married in South Africa is just insane! We would have had to remortgage the house to be there unfortunately. Still...We're looking forward to the DVD!

Congrats Bo & Steve!

Hope you guys are having a fabulous time in Florida, and that the wedding went well on the 25th! Don't know if you got my text or facebook message. I'll see you all in a week or so though!

Chester Zoo Trip

Des and I went to the zoo for a couple of hours today. The weather was horrendous, so we didn't stay long, just a couple of hours.

Anyway, here are the pics I took...

Angela & Gary's Wedding

Took place on December 30th, 2007.

It was a beautiful day, filled with lots of laughter. The bride, Angela, looked absolutely stunning. She has made her whole family very proud!

Angela & Gary.. May your married life be full of laughter and excitement. You both deserve every happiness!

Here are some of the photographs I took...

Christmas 2007

Was very tiring indeed!!

This year, we invited our best friends over for dinner. They arrived on Christmas eve and stayed until the evening of Christmas day.

I was meant to cook, but since I overslept, Des took over the role and made a lovely turkey with all the trimmigs! I did make a trifle...That has to count, right?!

This year was the first year ever I haven't been excited about the whole 'thrill' of Christmas. Driving round looking at decorations, wrapping presents, opening gifts, setting the table etc. The only thing I looked forward to was spending time with those that mean the world to me...My family and friends!

Happy Birthday Baby Sis!

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday Dear Nikki

Happy Birthday to YOOOOOU!

Missing you tons, Pickle! Have a fabulous day, and don't get too drunk in Egypt! I know you were out drinking tonight, so hopefully your hangover isn't too bad!

Another pic of the tree...

I bought myself an external flash for my D-SLR camera, and have been practicing with the lighting and bouncing the flash off different things to get the desired effect.

I used my flash diffuser properly and bounced the flash off my mirror, which meant it bounced onto our back wall and then at the tree.

I'm loving this whole photography thing and can't wait to start my university course in May! Wooo!

Eden Rose

A good friend of mine had a baby recently, Eden Rose. She's about 7 weeks old now so I thought it was time to say hello!

Eden is such a cutie!! I fed her a little whilst Kirsty made a drink, and after Kir changed her, I walked around trying to get her to sleep! It did work, and the position in which she fell asleep was adorable! She was on my shoulder with her arms spread open...Her head was to the side and her little mouth was open wide!

Kirsty has done a great job, and her and Andy produced such a beautiful little thing! I can't wait to go visit again now!!

The tree is safe...For now!!

The tree is safe for now, but with this hooligan around, the question is for how long?

The cats have actually been really good this year. They have played with a few of the branches once or twice, and had a sniff at a couple of the dangling ornaments. Nothing major!

I'm getting excited from Christmas day, I have bought the kitties lots of things to open! Wooo!

So that Yum-yum doesn't feel left out, here's a pic of her too!

The tree is up

Today we put up our Christmas tree.

This year, we bought more furniture, so figuring out where to put a 6 foot tree was kind of difficult!

We decided to move the armchair a little further forward and put the tree behind it. We managed to put the tree right against the wall and pull most of the branches to the front. The only branches that go right round are those from the middle to the top.

We also put up a little candle thing on the window sill, which I will have to get a photograph of. I think our tree looks pretty classy this year!

As usual, we've sticked with the angel theme!

Some more pics from The Birdcage!

Some pics of the drag Queens from The Birdcage! They were very, very funny!

Ang's Hen Party

So I thought I'd share a few photographs taken on Saturday night at The Birdcage in Manchester. As you probably know, my sister-in-law gets married on the 30th, so we had the hen party on Saturday!

It was a fun night, and I took Rebecca for company. I didn't really know anybody, but I think I loosened up a bit after a malibu & coke and a 3-pint pitcher of cocktail!

I ended up buying a cheapie point & shoot camera to take. I was planning on taking the SLR, but I knew I'd be having a drink & didn't trust myself with it in the heart of Manchester!

This is Rebecca & I after the 3-pint pitcher of cocktail!

Debby (sister-in-law) & Rebecca (close friend)


Debby & Me in Lloyds bar. I don't care much for this picture, and my perfectly strait hair looks fluffy on the top - Ugh! 2 hours of straightening for it to look fluffy!

Angela, the beautiful bride to be! She's here with a friend, whose name I don't know - Oops!
