Doesn’t the Weekend Fly By?!
Saturday, we went to mother’s – did some shopping in Booths, then had an excellent discussion about the Second World War. Learnt a lot about what happened to my mother – she just started coming out with it and got very upset then kept talking. It is difficult to imagine the scale of what went on! Quite horrific. Ended the day on a cheerful note though, but alas, that cheer did not involve winning the lottery – bummer!
Sunday – had to go back to mother’s to pick up Polyhex’s phone. Then we went to Marga-Rhett’s and Bobby’s and stayed into the evening, perhaps a bit too late as Bobby did look very tired. Had a great conversation, stroked their wonderful cat, Jasmine, had Chinese food and Polyhex fixed their computer. I got some fantastic Body Shop stuff that I had ordered and Marga-Rhett was kind to give me some body butters she had left over from Christmas which sound really lush.
So, a busy weekend that flew by way too quickly. Here’s to the next one lol
PS: We have a delivery date for our new car – 2 March 
So new Toyota Prius here we come (with effective brakes I add as it has been built this year). So excited lol

Ohhhhh nice toyota prius – I’ll be interested to hear how it goes when you get it and how it works with the half electric thingy going on.
Isn’t it funny how the war effects people so differently, my mum grew up in it in Ilford, Essex but it never seemed to bother her altho she was also evaculated to Wales when she was 7yrs old with her brother and her baby sister stayed at home with her parents – they use to have a bomb shelter in their back yard that my old Gramps built hehehe but I use to hear all about her life stories growing up altho I was more interested mainly because I was in NZ and I wanted to hear about her life in the UK as I always wanted to be here
(now I am) but she never got upset about anything – even when she told me about her breakdown she had in her early 20s and how her father just ignored her and would tell visitors to the house to not take any notice of her she’s a bit loopy haha that’s my mum and her family for ya 
Like me you find the weekends go too quick – I couldn’t sleep Friday night I had de ja vu pain in my chest that i had when I was pregnant a few years back and I didn’t sleep all night finally falling to sleep with a dull pain left by 6.30am Saturday morning ;-( so I didn’t go anywhere the whole weekend just veged at home with Amel. I finally finished my book Breaking Dawn (the 4th in the twilight series) and now I can put the twilight story to bed as it was lasting too long but a brilliant story to read all the same – I can listen to it on my ipod now as I downloaded twilight and Breaking Dawn missing out the two middle books so I can rest my eyes
can’t wait to see all the movies now. I watched Queen of the Damned Sunday night which is a favourite movie of mine.
Hope you have a great week and you and Polyhex are keeping well from the sounds of it – I better get back to work now, my break finished about 5mins ago
Lol

Ah re mum – you forget she’s Polish
She was taken by the Germans at age 12 and put to work in a labour camp in Germany working in a cotton mill. Many of the girls/ladies with her either killed themselves or died. She nearly starved to death and had to be reintroduced to eating very slowly. She has mentioned Buchenwald before briefly but always skipped over it so still not sure where she was. It must have been horrible. She said when the Yanks arrived everyone was so relieved but there was still fighting going on.
I know people in the UK have a tale to tell – my gran wrote a daily record diary which is how all this talk came about – Polyhex discovered it in amongst my father’s things and has started reading it. Bombings every night! I never knew they were bombed every single night for months – just thought it was intermittent.
So interesting to hear the personal stories.
How’s things? You not Farmvilling these days?

OMG I did forget she is Polish I was thinking of how it was here in the UK – definitely nothing as bad as what your mum went through ;-( sounds just awful! That diary sounds very interesting, you might be able to publish it one day as those sorts of stories are very much appreciated by people wanting to know the history of the wars.
I’m mainly keeping up with cafe world and yovile and even then they aren’t half as much work to keep up with than farmville and I’m still struggling with them – I’m trying to send everyone gifts everyday in farmville but I can’t extend my farm anymore so it seems pointless to carry on much further with it – same as cafe world I don’t have enough neighbours and they make it so hard for you to extend it totally sux so I do tend to lose my enthusiasm in it all. I think I’ll take up reading books instead
I’m hooked on wanting to read all the time.
Anyways, I hope your mum is alright and you have a good week. xx
