Happy New Year
Monday, January 7th, 2008Happy New Year!
How was your Christmas? Did Santa bring you everything you wished for? I had flu 2 weeks before Christmas and I don’t mean just a very bad cold! I was in bed (very unlike me) Mon-Fri and on the Tues night I really thought I needed the hospital. (I know I’m an actress but I swear I’m not being dramatic!) I just laid there from 2am crying (also not like me) the first and I hope the only time I’ve ever had proper flu. Consequently it put my Christmas preparation slightly behind. I was gutted, I’d been so organised starting my present shopping in the summer and what for??? To still be wrapping presents and running around the shops on Christmas Eve.
A side that it was just great! I had a very drunken night out with Nick Pickard (plays Tony in Hollyoaks) and Jimmy McKenna (plays my Dad). I still keep in touch with them and we’d been trying to get a night out together for quite some time and we finally did it over Christmas and boy did we make up for lost time! It was such fun! I think they poured me into a cab about 4.30 in the morning… naughty!
We spent Christmas day at my mother-in-laws which is a family tradition and one that I love. Sadly as both my parents have died I usually find this time of the year difficult. But because I get on so well with my husbands family, it definitely helps! Boxing Day we have everyone over to us where I cook Christmas dinner - 15 people this year! Then at New Year we went down to my sisters in Lincolnshire for a party. I’m knackered! I now need a holiday to recover and some serious detoxing!
Slowly getting back to normal now and trying to get back to work. Hope if this is your first day back that it’s not too bad.
60 Minute Makeover is now off your screens until some time around Easter, I’ll confirm the exact date when I get it. We should also find out very soon if we’ll be making any more so check this site out for an update.
As I didn’t do a December update I’ll try and do another one at the end of Jan or before if I have any news!
Ta ta for now.
Love me. xxxx
