Mum, Dan and I tried the Yonder Pocorum cache today which is located at Powerstock common. Mum was not sure about going after our previous trip to Powerstock looking for gravestones but managed to convince her! It was very wet and muddy and mum managed to find the geocache! I was totally covered in mud by the time we got back to the car but Dan and mum were ok. As we walked up to the car, noticed one of the doors was open. Panic thinking someone had broken into the car but it turned out that I had left the door wide open! Dan will never trust me again!
Took David and Morgan round to Dads in the morning after going to B&Q and Matalan for more shopping! Then Dan and I went back to Dorchester and met my Uncle, auntie and cousin for lunch in the Wetherspoons. Uncle David has lent me a photo album with loads of one photos in it, even some of one of my great great grandmother!!! They are amazing!! Can’t wait to scan them all!
This is Emily Morris who is my great great grandmother!!
Ahhhh! Mad panic at my mum’s house when I read on the internet that toickets were already on sale for Paris, 30th March and that other dates for the Queen and Paul Rodgers tour might be 1st April in Barcelona and 2nd April in Madrid. Spent an hour trying to translate the French website where they are selling the tickets using a dialup connection. Paced up and down trying to decide what to do next, text Gavin, he phones, can’t hear him as have no signal. Mad panic, decide not to do anything and wait for the full tour details to be announced and drank a whole bottle of wine instead.
Went to visit my grandparents today to set up their new cordles phones we bought for them for Christmas! I cleaned the kitchen floor for them and Gran complained the whole time but was quite impressed when I had finished!!!
Good start- 5 mins down the road after leaving for Oxford, we managed to crash into a bush! There was loads of ice and snow around and we went skidding across the road, turned round and the back of the end went into the bush. Damaged Dan’s new exhaust which he had fitted on Christmas eve- oops, but everything else was fine, including us! Carried on to Oxfordshire driving very carefully but it was fine once we hit the motorway and there was no snow beyond Birmingham! Had lunch at Dan’s grandparents housed then headed off back to Dorset where we had tea plus present opening with my mum, Grandparents, David, Laura and Morgan! I got loads of stuff from Gran and Grandad, Live Aid and Live at the Bowl from Mum and Robbie Williams Greatest hits from David! Woohoo!!!
Boxing day photos!

Also- SNOW (^%^&*()(*&^%^&*&^ We made a snowman!!!!!
Christmas day photos!
I drove up to Ellesmere to collect Dan’s gran today as Dan had done all the driving up to Stafford. Car was making very loud noises! Got to Ellesmere and realised that the exhaust had fallen off!!! Drove all the way back sounding like townies!! Dan managed to find garage open on Christmas eve afternoon and got a new one fixed- only £35! Bargin!
Decided to go shopping mad today as I am debt free and still have money left before Christmas! Bought loads of clothes and the last few Christmas presents!!! Woohoo! I love shopping!!! :)
Introduced Dan’s mum to geocaching today and went for a nice walk up Broc hill. Took us a while to find the cache as the GPS didn’t work too well but it was a nice walk!
Cheese and wine do at lunchtime for various peoples birthday!!! Only managed a few glasses of wine :) Not half as much as last year! Had to then sit at work until 6.45 waiting for Dan to pick me up. The longest few hours of my life! Dan drove us up to Stafford, ate lasagne then went to bed for an early night!! Christmas soon!!!! Yay!!!!
