Well so much has happened since I last blogged but I must say I am now on holiday from work for a week and I am glad. I do love my job but we all need holidays and time off. I have a busy week ahead however I will enjoy catching up with things and people. I do intend to take time for myself too.

Today is mothers day and well as most of you know my mum died in October 1999 and I really miss her very much. I would just like to pay tribute to my mum today and thank her for being a loving mum to me. Although mum was not always able to do the physical things with me she always made sure I could and that there was someone else there to support me or my brother and she was there to hear all about it when we got home. I'm sure there were some days that she would not be feeling like listening to me go on and on but she did because she loved me unconditionally.

There have been many people in my life that over the years have been a mother figure to me and I would like to thank them all too, not naming names as I would not like to miss any out but you know who you are.

I'm sure my mum will be loooking down on me today and that she is with me in everything I am doing in preparation for our wedding. I have said before I know that she would just love Ross and I am sure he would have loved her too.

So all in all I love you mum and all my other 'mums' and thank you all for everything.
