My Birthday, Christmas and Ted

Hi everyone sorry I’ve not had chance to update you all but like everyone else I’ve been so busy!

Well I celebrated my 23rd Birthday on 16th December and had a "few" nights out to remember or maybe not to remember! It’s a bit hazy!

On the Thursday I went out with my girlfriends, my cousin Dawn from Australia and my mum, Jackie and dad, Arthur. We started out at the Nu Bar in Loughton Essex. Then after a couple of shots we headed over to Club 195 to have a boogie and a few more shots! I really enjoyed myself and it was nice to be able to celebrate my birthday with friends and family.

Friday evening I spent with Ted, my mum, dad and Dawn who came over for a nice meal. I took my dad back to the airport, leaving my mum and cousin behind to party AGAIN over the weekend.

Saturday I woke up early to find lots of lovely prezzies under the duvet that Ted had hidden whilst I was out of the bedroom! I was like a 3 year old opening them all.

On Sunday Ted played against Manchester United so we all went to the match. Ted had a gorgeous birthday cake and champagne sent to the box for me, which was lovely. It was a perfect end to a perfect day as the Hammers beat Manchester United and Ted set up a goal!

We all went out after the match for a meal with the family and Ted’s son Charlie, to celebrate my birthday. We then went on to the Nu Bar and Faces nightclub to join some of the lads from the team and my girlfriends. We had a great night and it really was the perfect birthday!

On the Monday I had a photoshoot in the morning which I am very surprised I got up for! It was with Jeany Savage for the Daily Star. I was featured on a two page shoot for Rocawear I love their clothes and It was a great shoot. Later on that day I had to travel over to Wembley to join Alex Best and other footballers wives in a Charity Fashion show for Everyman Cancer Appeal. The clothes were lovely and I enjoyed meeting everyone.

Well what can I say about Christmas!? It was our first Christmas together and Ted and I were very excited about it. It was lovely waking up with Ted on Christmas day. I was so excited, wanting to open my prezzies. We opened a couple each and then some from my mum and dad. Then we went downstairs and opened the rest from under the tree. Ted told everyone I woke up at 6.30am like a 3 year old asking could I open my presents. It was 7.30am not 6.30am! Ted’s family and my mum and dad came over for Christmas dinner and we played party games in the evening before Ted had to go to his hotel, as he had a game the next day. We all went to the match and again it was a great day. Unfortunately it ended with the Hammers losing to Portsmouth but Ted scored the last goal.

In the evening we all went for a lovely meal in Chingford then back to Ted’s for more party games. It was so funny watching everyone play Twister - it looked quite rude at times! We all took part in Killer on the pool table. Charlie won the first game and then Ted's niece won the second game. Not sure who won after that, it got a bit complicated.

Anyway I am off to the match today to see Ted play Manchester City so I will keep you informed of what I have been up to over the last few days of 2006 certainly a year to remember, meeting Ted, being crowned, then de-crowned as Miss Great Britain and being able to spend my first Christmas together with Ted.

If I don't get back to you before 1st January 2007, I wish you all a very happy and exciting New Year and I hope you all get your New Year's wishes. Hope you like this shot, it’s me turning my back on a very eventful 2006 and looking forward to a wonderful 2007! Check out my new website – www.daniellelloyd.com – hope you like it.
