It's Good Friday

I wonder what today will bring? Good Friday has been quite significant for me over the years. 40 years ago, my family and I attended a church service and then followed this with a Good Friday ramble with other church members. A fun afternoon and picnic was had by all and it was a shame to break up the party. We lived in a big house so my mother invited the ramblers back for an evening get together. Everyone went off to change out of their rambling clothes before descending on our house. Most of my family went home to prepare for this impromptu party and dad popped over to church to collect extra cutlery for the crowds to make tea time a little easier.

Imagine our horror when we arrived home to find the place in disarray! We had been burgled!!! There was chaos everywhere with drawers tipped out across the floor.
Then the guests started to arrive!! They felt they ought to leave and let us clear up but mum wouldn't hear a word of it! In fact having other people there made it easier to deal with. So our guests picked their way round the chaos and we waited for the police to arrive. My life was never the same again!!

PC Ivor Griffiths was the handsome young police officer who came to call that day!!! He then came to call for many many more days. I had to help him so much with his police enquiries!!!!! Yes I married that police officer and had my three beautiful children with him. Indeed it was a very GOOD Friday! On our wedding day - the good Friday ramblers didn't give us the traditional horsehoe or wooden spoon. We had a giant HOT CROSS BUN! (one of them was a baker) and for those who know me well - they will know I never stick with tradition!!!

That marriage blessed me with my beautiful children Toby, Natasha and Tristan and Natasha decided to arrive 3 weeks late so she could arrive on GOOD FRIDAY too!  I wonder what today will have in store for me and mine!

Helping others

One of the things I most love, is helping others.  Today I want to find more people who need to reduce their bills. I have reduced my own and this week I helped my friend cut her telephony bill by two thirds!

 How would you like a zero bill for your household services? Over 400 UW customers now enjoy that. They have recommended the services and have been rewarded for doing that. Would you like to find out how that works? Why not leave me a message and I would be happy to explain.
