It's my BIRTHDAY!

Argh! Another year had slipped by. Where does the time go?

So this is my first birthday as a married woman!

And it's not felt that much different, aside from the lack of booze... although the last two years were pretty dry too as they the both the day before other peoples wedding and turning up still half cut or hung over was not really acceptable.

Mum came over for the day as Yorkie was working and we sat and gossiped and watched the most recent movie version of Pride and Prejudice on Sky (which we both agreed is still not a patch on the BBC drama of a few years ago with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy... phwaaa!) , but she left just before I went to pick Yorkie up form work.

Instead of the pub this year Yorkie took me to the cinema, a rare treat in itself for us these days (i.e. since we started to spend most of our money on DVDs, which are cheaper than a trip to the movies and you can have a pee without missing the best bits).

We went to see the Bourne Ultimatum with Ray & Sarah and Jen (who looks MASSIVE now with just 3 weeks to go before Conner is born... it almost looks unnatural, and more than just a little scary! She's still gorgeous though!). And - aside from Ray - we all loved it!

There are a couple of the fight scenes which I think will actually look better on the telly than the big screen, the camera work is all 'zip zip zip' which does add to the mood, but when it's taking up the whole of your vision you end up wondering what part of the screen your supposed to be looking at, what's going on, and why are my eyes hurting! And Matt himself looks a little porky round the chops in a couple of scenes (but Bourne has been on the run for 3 years, healthy eating may not be a viable option!).

Great movie though, and if you like the first two you'll love this one too. Think we'll be buying the box set at some point!

I got some lovely prezzies and some nice cards which are brightening up my front room as I type and had a really nice day.

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
