Rolling into 2008.......






literally! The last of the new year's goodies have just been eaten (sob boo hoo....slurp burp pardon eh moi) and now it's time to get back on the old diet. I was a very naughty girl over the holidays and enjoyed every delicious moment of it! hehehehehe Now totally changing the subject, do you remember when I had my 100th post give away and I said that once Manuela received her parcel, that I would post a photo of what she won? Well I got an email today from Manuela today saying she got the box yesterday, so here's a promised pic of the goodies.....a Country Kitchens calendar, Christmas window clings, cat door stop, heart bath bomb, teddy bear soap, and a picture frame. It was meant to be just a little something to say thank you for visiting my blog, because I really do appreciate each and every one of you so much! Manuela is such a sweetheart, she has awarded me the "I less than three your blog" award. Thank you sweetie! Now I'll pass this on to......

So I'll leave you tonight with one of my favourite desserts for you to help yourself to while you visit. Care for some trifle anyone? To you my dear friends, sweets for the sweet!..............Amanda xxx

Good Morning Amanda,
Wow, Manuela got some very nice gifts from your Giveaway. She is one lucky woman. "THANK YOU" for the <3 Award. I so appreciate it very much. I love visiting your blog and seeing what is going on in your part of the world and all the things you share with us. I was a naughty girl too. LOL. I still am. I am hiding some Christmas M&M's in my desk drawer and I eat on them once in a while. LOL. Your trifle looks so good. I have never had any Trifle. You will have to post the recipe for us sometime. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours. "THANK YOU" again for a beautiful Award.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Happy New Year Amanda - here's to the best one ever!

Like you, I overindulged too! Yesterday dh and I walked all the way to the shops and carried groceries (mostly fruit and veggies)home! It was a pretty day though and we felt empowered by leaving the car at home!
I'm trying to get rid of the remaining holiday goodies as we must get back to healthy eating - that pie looks so good though I'm thinking of flying over for a piece, ha! ha!

Take care - looking forward to sharing life's ups and downs and ins and outs this coming year.

Happy New Year, Amanda! I think we all over-indulged a little during the holidays...it wouldn't be the holidays then, would it? LOL! Wishing you & yours the happiest days in 2008--love, blessings, peace and JOY! ((HUGS))

Happy New Year. No dessert for me, thanks. I too have to get back on track and lose the holiday pounds.
Have a good one.

Thank you Amanda! I hate to sound stupid, but what does the Less than 3 award mean?

Thanks! Sharon

Hi Amanda
I just popped in to have a look at your blog. I love trifle, but didn't have any over the Christmas period. Just mince pies and cakes.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful award, Mandi.
I so appreciate you thinking of me. I will take it home with me right now! I didn't visit yesterday...had company.
The giveaway was so nice. She was a lucky girl to receive it.
hugs, bj
