Becky We Love You


Becky your exit was first class,
as was your seat on the plane.

I could only swoon at you, and
I can feel your pain.
Corrie won't be the same without you
whatever will we do...

I'll look at the stars and always think of you,

Revenge was sweet and worth the wait
Tracy's face, at the marriage gate

A better life awaits you now,
Just a first class trip away,

When champagne's on tap,
Who in their right mind'd stay

Five grand you've left with your sister,
a goodbye smirk to your Mister.

Off you've gone, and here we are
And all I can say is I'll miss ya!

Quotable lines from Becky's last scenes:

"Leaving's going FROM innit? I'm more your going TO kinda girl!"
"Question. Serious one.  Are you in the mile high club?"
"Toast to going TO"
"No! Save your cash man. Got my duty free up there"
"it's first class everything's free"
"Seriously... hhhhm... waitress... Lob us the bottle"
"Regrets are for people what stop on the ground. We're heading for the stars!"

Wish I was too Becky. Wish I was too!

Ideal Home Show

Hi

We went to the IHS today.  The main highlight was the Corrie House.  On the one hand I liked it (queued for long enough) but on the other, I was a little disappointed.

Highs
  1. The fab footage of old fab storylines being shown to us in the queue.
  2. Seeing the upstairs of the Barlow's house.
  3. Some great photos on the Rovers' Return wall.
Lows
  1. The queue.
  2. The emptiness of the Rovers. (Just a place to queue).
  3. The fact that the modern version of the Barlow's house had no personal possessions in it - are we to believe they redecorate and leave their photos down?
  4. There was something missing... can't put my finger on what...
  5. It was shockingly hot at the whole show.  Aaron ended up in vest and jeans...
Anyway, here are the snaps... My one regret: that I didn't get "before" pics of the sitting room and kitchen.

Born Free bottle while Mum ate lunch.

Sparko!

Cardboard Ken in Rovers

Photo wall in Rovers.

Ken and Deirdre's bedroom.

Their boiling cupboard.

Their bathroom.

Is this Tracy and Amy's bedroom?

The knocked through kitchen diner.

Flash kitchen.

Snazzy sitting room.





Ken's bedroom's now ensuite.

Photo of mirror in loos - us babywearing.

STUNNING water feature!
That photo above is taken by me, but I am taking a picture of the mirror.... yet it came out so clear.  I had to hold the camera away from my face to see what I was capturing in the mirror.  My Silent Sunday (27th March) is a close up, where you can't see the frame of the mirror, and there is no blur or haze, you can't even tell it's taken in the mirror.  It's confusing actually.... me photographing me, photographing me.... a picture of a picture of a picture..... Is it just my newly acquired baby brain, or is it indeed a brain fuck???? (Excuse the language I don't usually swear).
