to wish all my friends here, old and new, a Very Happy Christmas and New Year :)

I am sorry not to have been around much in the last few weeks but my business that I started (why I gave up being a Mod :) ) has really taken off (thankfully) and I have been extremely busy getting to grips with that, plus being a Granny now takes up any spare time as I just cant see Joshua enough :) :)

We've had lots of things happening just lately, the main one was sadly my Katie being mugged in London. Thank God she wasnt hurt, but she was attacked by three youths as she was walking back to her flat one night at about 10pm. They jumped on her from behind, 'strangling' her with her scarfe. They got her mobile phone and her house keys but not her purse or bag. It scared the life out of her, but she screamed and shouted at them, and thankfully her friend whom she was talking to on the phone had the presence of mind to a) phone the police and b) phone her flatmate who dashed along the road to help her. It cost £160 to get new locks fitted on her flat but peace of mind doesnt really have a cost does it?

On a brighter side, she has been working for a few weeks doing 'Murder Mystery' evenings. She is the maid and has had a great time and a lot of fun. She is also doing some writing, reveiws and stuff so getting lots of experience that way too. Oh, and she is teaching at a Private Stage School in London a couple of afternoons a week - she actually teaches Paul Weller's kids :) :) She had a big audition for a film a week or so ago - but they can take ages to come through - but it was with Tristar Columbia and it was for the lead, so fingers crossed on that one :)

The rest of us are fine - just plodding along.


Have a good one :)
 
Thank god Katie was fine, that sounds scary!
It's a shame to think the world has come to this :( Glad she is ok, and she changed her locks etc i agree the price is nothing compared to her safety and wellbeing!

Glad everything is going fine for you, thats great news.

I wish you and your family a very merry christmas and a very happy new year!!!!!!!

::yes::
 
A few years ago my mum had her keys stolen. Her house insurance covered the cost of the new locks, it might be worth Katie checking with her insurers to see if she can claim for this.

Hi Janice :wave:

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family. I'm sure you'll have fun with Joshua, even though he's too little to appreciate the Christmas festivities ;).

Here's wishing Katie lots of luck in the New Year, too!
 

Hi Janice

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you :bounce:

LOL Yes - we took them down last Wednesday as they flew to the Canaries yesterday for Christmas :) Just spoke to James on the phone, we are sitting here up to our eyes in Snow and they are on the beach sunning themselves in 24 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!

All right for some eh?
LOL
 
:wave2: Hello Janice, nice to see you again. Really pleased everything is going so well for you, but sad to hear about Katie's nasty experience.

What a dreadful society we live in.

Hope you all have a lovely Xmas and a fantastic new year.

Darryl, Annie and Katie x
 
Hi Jan :)

As you know, I'm really horrified that Katie was attacked and send her big hugs. Since I spoke to you, I have warned the boys not to walk along alone talking on their mobiles.

Joshua is so ADORABLE :) !!

You are missed greatly on the boards and it is so good to see a post from you again, although it carries some bad news.

Have a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year :) !
