The Countdown begins

Hello Speakies!! We are one day closer to the weekend and that's a good thing in my book. I am sure if you are a frequent visitor to my blog you may have noticed there was no entry for Wednesday. Well it was a bust day, plus i slept really late, so hope no one was disappointed. Looking at what to celebrate today was really bland, but none the less i will hopefully give you speakies some info that you may have not known. So let's get the ball rolling.
