Merry Christmas

Hoping you all had a lovely Christmas.
We sure did. Totally over indulged ourselves...as you're allowed to!!! We had some lovely days just enjoying ourselves & chilling out. Also managed to visit my parents for a few days too.
Here's some photos taken during the last week.


Out for dinner with Jamila, Fouz & Pavinder plus secret santa gifts too!

My yummy advent calendar. Usually only the kids get one but this year I treated myself.

The famous Bull at the BullRing, Birmingham.

My lovely new toy & it's pink yay!!!

Last night was our Islamic new year. It's tradition to have loads of dishes. How many can you count?

Sad news

On Wednesday 10th Dec we received some tragic news. My cousin Shabbir's wife Nafisa had suffered a fatal accident. They were out on their motorbike when they had a collision with another. The force caused Nafisa bhaibi to fall off the back of the bike, where she was sitting, & fell on the ground hitting her head badly. She died not long after.
My mum & I are so so upset. It's hard to come to terms with it. She was only in her late thirties & has left behind a teenage son. Shabbir is obviously distraught at the loss of his "jaan" - Nafisa was his everything.
