Yesterday was my mums 70th birthday and we had a surprise party for her, it was held at my brothers place and there was around 30 people there not as many as I had hoped as some didn't turn up even though they said they would come that is annoying when they do that.

It went well until my sister stormed off because our brother said something to her about drinking his grog.....she didn't bring any of her own and only put in $50 towards it both me and Dave paid out around $300 each.

When mum arrived and saw everyone she started to cry as all her children where there 10 of her grandchildren also 3 great grandchildren. I was happy that my sister Jeannie came as she has a habit of not bothering to come to family functions.

Me

I am so trying to tell myself that I am a beautiful person and that I will lose weight if I keep trying although it is not so easy to keep trying as I hate and I mean hate writing everything down that I eat but I am doing it mostly to make my hubby happy as he is always going on at me about how much I eat and what I eat.

I am exercising every day I do love my WII Fit but he (Tim) complains that I am not walking enough, sometimes I feel like nothing I do is good enough. So I do find it hard at times to stay positive.

I want to say thanks to everyone who left comments on my Facebook page.

The New Year and Tim's Family

Well the new year is here how did everyone see it in? I was in bed by 10.30pm went to bed after seeing the 10pm fireworks from my back yard, yes I said my back yard we are lucky enough to be able to watch them from our own yard I like sitting in my own yard in my nightie watching the fireworks. That way we have our own toilet and can go to bed straight afterwards if we like which I usually do, I'm not one for staying up late anymore a sign of my age I guess.

We had Tim's brother here that night and on New Years Day Tim took him into a mens hostel in town as he was fed up with him being here but both of us had the impression that he wanted to stay here but that was not going to happen. We do feel sorry for him but we do like having the house to our self now days.

We have never had much to do with Tim's family as they have always treated him terrible and I can't really be bothered with them. Tim's father told him years ago that he wasn't his son and to f off and not come back and we haven't. Apparently his brother Wayne isn't talking to his father either but Tim doesn't know why.

A few years ago Tim told me when he dies not to tell his family, I don't know what I am going to do when the time arrives.
