Who Do You Think You Are?

I love that programme - god I talk about telly a lot don't I? I do have a life honest! Anyway I have always had a passion for history (perhaps I am really boring) and family history is especially fascinating so I do love watching that programme.

Several months ago I picked up a letter sent to my Mum and Dad to their house. It was from a lady who was bridesmaid at their wedding, she has been researching the family tree for about 3 years with her daughters - she has been focussing on my grandmothers side of the family. Well she rang the other night and it seems that we always thought she was the daughter of my Grandmothers brother. Well it seems that her father was my grandmother's SON not brother!!!! So I now have another cousin, and my Mum never knew she had a half brother instead of an Uncle. Family secrets, very sad really, my Grandmother had to keep that a secret for most of her adult life and I find that so very sad. He died relativley young too, so she would have been very upset.

Hey ho, on a more mundane note I am off to spend a mind numbing hour or so having my acrylic nails soaked off at a salon up the road, pretty relieved about it, I haven't been able to pick my nose for weeks ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I am SO gross. As for removing the back from double sided tape for my cardmaking, I have been swearing like a sailor, no change there then.

I will be coming home to sort out another 45 million photos that my parents took over the years, blimey she would never have had the time to scrapbook that lot! I am sure there will be a few tears in the process.I did some yesterday and I spent time laughing at teenage pics of me ,gawd now I know why I didn't have any boyfriends , I was stick thin with a DREADFUL haircut, luckily I blossomed heheheheheheheheh (just kidding) more like exploded!!!

Oh and on my post yesterday about my project for SC&P, ahem the article is over 4 pages not 6 - talk about bigging myself up jeez!
