Well, tommorow is the day set aside for Lulu's operation.
She and Ali and Dave are already at the hospital and apparently she is going into surgery tomorrow morning shortly after eight.
We are all worried especially as it has emerged Lulu may have some other complications.
I'm just praying.
Perhaps those of you who do such things would join me in praying and perhaps even fasting for Lulu tomorrow. Skip breakfast maybe!!
Prayers are much needed right now.
Love to Lulu, Anabella, Ali and Dave xxx

Life sneaks up
Sometimes in life you are cruising along nicely congratulating yourself on how well you've got it together when out of nowhere you're thrown a curveball. And as we all know, in our climate, when it rains it pours and refuses to stop however much you ask it to.
Literaly minutes after finishing my last post we had a call from my Sister to say my niece, little Lulu was in hospital with a hole in the heart. We dashed down and people flew back from gibraltar and Jersey and it was all very stressful for my sis. But then it began to get sorted. Lulu is being fed through a tube at home till she can have her operation and things were looking up.
Then last wednesday my Nan collapsed and died at home. It was very sudden and very sad.
The whole family is shocked and all i can say is if it weren't for the grace of God and his love and assurance I'm not sure I would be coping (how those in my family who don't believe in or trust in God are coping is beyond me!!). On top of that my Nan's neice in Ireland diedand our car got smashed up by a suicidal badger!
Anyway, once more things seem to be calming down. We are all left sad without my Nan, and anxious about Lulu but I for one am having to trust in God that he sees the bigger picture.
It all puts fringes and silly lists into perspective.
Till next time

Fun Fun Fun and fringes
It's been a few weeks since I shared what's been going on in the new fun life of me so I though I'd better write evn though I'm not much further on with completing my list!!
Well anyway, the big news is all hair related - how shallow. First I went into post end of term melt down and dyed my hair (temporarily) red; then I had a fringe cut in, in a desperate attempt to look more rock and roll. Finally today I had my hair coloured-( more painting by numbers than essex highlights) and I'm loving the differences. I've got black and magenta and blonde all in there. I feel rather edgy even if I do say so myself.
And here is the photo evidence.
Enjoy!!

School's Out for the Summer
Yeeeeesss!!!
Tomorrow is the last day of school for yet another year. I can't believe it has gone so quickly.
I'll be seriously working on my list over the coming six weeks so keep an eye out for new blog posts and more importantly the promised photo evidence.

The best laid plans
Today my band Was Broken is due to play our School Summer Fair- we run with the big guns us.
Anyway to say it's not been easy to get there is an understatement. First our drummer remembered he was on holiday, then I got ill, then our replacement drummer got ill.
But finally today has come and I'm up bright and early raring to go.
Except I'm not- I'm terrified of playing with a band member we've never practised with (Worship at Perry Street anyone?!).
I know it's not Glastonbury and I am not Hayley from Paramore (I wish I was) but I still don't want to look like a complete fool (For a change).
Enough brackets now - I'm off to have a go!!
Wish me luck

One turns into Two
Hey All,
I got part way towards crossing off another of the items on my 'list of fun' today
I booked my first guitar lesson!
I guess I can't cross it off the list until I've actually had several lessons as the entry on the list says... Get guitar lessons.
Still ...it's a start.
Love KTx

Correction
OK, so I've had some questions regarding the validity of my list. Strictly speaking all of the things that are on the list are not new things that I've never done before.
I've been to New York (although never lived it up as going one time with your mother and the next with a -by then- ex-boyfriend doesn't quite count). I've swum in the sea, seen the sun rise and set (though not from a tall building).
I've drunk champagne by a river, I've been to a music festival and I've definitely sung Karaoke in a packed bar - I Will always Love You anyone?
But that just isn't the point of my list...
The things I want to do this year aren't just things to do because I need to have achieved them by a certain age - I've lived a lot, I've done stuff, I've got the various t-shirts.
No the point is that I what I want is to have fun!! Pure, unadulterated, take-no-prisoners fun, and that's what my list reflects. FUN!!
So for something to be crossed off my list it needs to have been done this year...Between July 1st 2008 and midnight on June 9th 2009.
And I guess this here blog counts as one thing I've done already!!
One down- 29 to go
Luv ya KTxx
