Theres no place like home, theres no place like home

I would love to upload all the pictures of my gorgeous bargains from my wonderful NYC trip, however, my suitcase is still up in the air due to the volcanic ash cloud that meant:
1. Our flight last thursday was cancelled
2. Our 2nd flight re-routed through Air France was bumped due to Air France only taking their own passengers and not anyone booked via any other airline - pah!
3. Wonderful Delta customer service who got us on the JFK-Heathrow flight last night
4. Having to get the National Express coach from Heathrow to Manchester while my luggage went by air!

Next time I will take an almost empty suitcase. I will make sure I take a sweater. I will remember to pack moisturiser so I don't have to use samples from Sephora every day, until I decide which one to buy!

Staying awake at work tomorrow is going to be a challenge - at least its only one day til the weekend.

Weekends are like rainbows that disappear when you get up close

Where does the time go?! On friday my lovely sister and gorgeous niece and nephew arrived bringing chaos in their wake. With one trip to the farm - more pigs! and another to the woods, to stomp through the mud, we spent our time in jeans and jumpers - not quite the springlike weather I would have hoped for with only Easter Sunday bringing a few hours of sunshine.

Yesterday, we waved goodbye and I set about doing the ironing (yawn), catching up on a few episodes of CSI and organising my suitcase for our upcoming holiday for my 40th birthday on Sunday. We're off to NYC and I feel like I've been planning it forever! It has been a definite, that I would ignore the fact that I was moving up another decade by waking up in the middle of a New York spring, the sun would be shining and the shopping would be amazing! I have my $'s and I'm going to spend them :-)
I went straight from work to the hairdressers tonight, who made my hair look as good as it can and then I had to rush home in the rain, losing the style Nyree had worked hard to achieve - oh well, back to normal!
