Master of Pharmaceutical Science

One of the proudest times in my life.

My stunning niece Hannah has now graduated from Hull University with her Master of Pharmaceutical Science degree.

She has already secured herself her dream job which comes complete with a company car.

Not bad eh considering she's only 22 years old.

Is it any wonder I'm so proud of her.

Back home

Arrived back home safe & sound last night & Rob's now back to normal Saturday morning routine... Watching TV... Currently watching last weeks F1 race.

It's been a leisurely start to the day so time to get my butt in gear... Piles of washing to do and MUST get to a Vodafone shop as my phone is knackered!!! The navigation ball in the centre won't move therefore I can't access most parts of my phone... Nae good that so hope it can be resolved today... Fingers crossed.

Will try to catch up with you all later again.

Elegance

Another quick make card using the templates... and all I have done here is added some pins & flowers... this way it leaves it open to interpretation as to what it can be used for... birthday, anniversary, wedding, engagement etc.

The stamp man

Hells bells... Would you believe it... Arrived at The Stamp Man... And it's closed!!!

Gasp... Oh not too bad though as there is a sign in the window with their new address... Now... Is it in the same direction as I'm heading is a question I can only answer once I get back to the car.

Thanks Cynthia for all your guidance... You're a life saver :-)

Fun

Quick basic make... fold a card, cut around one end with a template, add some papers... shame you can't see the pink paper properly as it's been jazzed up a little with some quickie glue & glitter... some stickers on the front... voila... done.

Well... Arrived at our hotel yesterday afternoon (Aldwark Manor) to find that it was needing a bloody good clean and that they had a dysentry outbreak !!! No I really don't want to take the chance on catching it so ended up getting the receptionist to call around & find us another hotel for the night. Ended up in The Park Inn central York & the night was spent listening to the youngsters moving between pubs & heading home from nightclubs... It was a very clean hotel though which was a huge benefit. This morning we managed to find another hotel which is the one in the picture (Hazlewood Castle Hotel)... Lovely accommodation set in a rural environment. Thank goodness for that and I'm looking forward to getting some sleep tonight.

Hopefully things will go well now.
