Family and other things

Hi Im Jan ,

I thought I ought to try my hand at this journal making ,I dont much like the word blogging ,it makes me think of back logging ,and Im not here to talk about my ironing ,I went on line last April and when I discovered your lovely journals I was hooked.I have added comments on many,and feel I know so many of you ,its only fair I tell you abit about me.

I retired as a Scheme Manager on a sheltered housing scheme for the elderly,last November because I lived on site retiring also meant moving so my partner Maurice and I moved to a charming little market town in the fens ,Well having told you Im retired ,Iam actually back doing holiday cover on a part time basis,which is lovely but since Idont drive I have to use public transport to the various Schemes Ive been covering, so my shifts are subject to bus time tables!

Maurice always wanted a dog so soon after we moved we went to the animal shelter and adopted Scooby a Shar Pai dog.Funny old boy about two years old with a few of the wrinkles a chacteristic of the breed (well dogs are supposed to look like their owners arnt they ?)

My husband Mick who died twenty two years ago and I had four children two boys and two girls and between them have presented me with nine grandchildren eight boys and Charlotte Janet,my name is Janet but Im Jan to my friends,Can I join you and be your friend too,Im gonna press the save button now ........fingers crossed    JAN
