Looking forward

I got called into work yesterday, because of an emergency. And we got talking about making plans. I said I thought it was important to have things to look forward to. I like to have something every month to plan and look forward to.

We did something every month last year. This year is more or less the same.

January We usually go away this month but with all the work that's going on in the house we can't this year. So we have been out to dinner a few times and Jade took me out on Monday to dinner and  interview with a serial killer.

February it's mine and Geoff's birthdays 12 days apart. |Its a special birthday for Geoff so we may go away for the weekend.

March I am going to see Sam Smith.

April We are taking my mum to London for a few days to see a couple of shows.

May is our anniversary month (38 years) and depending on the build I may go to Greece to a yoga retreat for a week.

June it's Tasha's birthday and we usually go away after that

July We will still be away

August I want to stay at home and enjoy my new Kitchen and look after my garden.

September

October Jade's birthday

November   We usually go away

December We will be mortgage free. That is going to be the best feeling ever!


So I have some plans already made this year. I will revisit this post and update it as I add more plans to my year.

Do you like to make plans and have things to look forward too.

Making Memories

Every time we go out with my mum my daughters like to take pictures and say we are making memories. Which of course we are.

So now every time we look into going somewhere they say lets make memories. 

Last night was part of our Christmas present off my eldest daughter. My mum has always read about serial killers. Don't ask me why.   

We went for dinner at Turtle bay which was nice. 

And then we went  to 

 Interviews With a Serial Killer

One of the first British policemen to work closely with the FBI Behavioural Science Unit in Quantico, Virginia, he has interviewed over 70 of the world’s worst serial killers and mass murderers to gain insight into their psyche.

Join Paul, to hear some of the more controversial conversations he had with Britain’s and the World’s most terrifying killers. Hear why the Yorkshire Ripper was ‘scared’ of him. Learn, what drove Robert Maudsley, the UK’s real life hannibal lechter, to kill, and why he’s kept in an ‘all glass’ cell. The Amityville Murders; what Ronald DeFeo said to be fearful of, when Paul spent the night at the house of horror.

This is a truly eyeopening and entertaining talk, that covers twelve stories and interviews. Accompanied by a visual presentation, covering the history of the individual crimes, and the killers story in their own words. Sad, frightening, and at times, funny, hear how serial killers perceive themselves, their victims, and their actions.

Paul is regarded as an expert on serial killer profiling. As a consultant on the subject, he regularly works with; authors, and film and television production companies. He is author of 34 books, mainly true crime.

He has recently had published his first crime fiction novel, Revenge of The Malakim, book one of the Grooming Parlour trilogy.

‘Walking with the Dead’ gives a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the dark reality of the mind of a serial killer.

Venue: Texture, Manchester

Doors: 7pm / Talk starts: 7.30pm.

It was a strange way to spend a Monday Evening.

I made dinner before I went for Geoff and Tasha

Cottage pie using all he veg that would have gone in the bin otherwise. The rest of the veg I made into a vegetable stock that I popped in the freezer to use at a later date. 

We will have to have this for dinner today because I am working until 21:30 tonight. 

Sunday Dinner sweet potato lasagna

Because I was working today I made a start on the dinner this morning at 06:00 before I went to work.I thought it would marinate all day before I was ready to use it.

I bought the sweet potato lasagna sheets last week and forgot about them. We had peppers and mushrooms in the fridge. So a cheep and cheerful dinner using ingredients we had in.

06:30

!7:00 I forgot to take a picture before I cut into it. I have to say it was delicious and will definitely make it again 


I am off out tomorrow night. Not sure whats for dinner yet.
