NewsHansa’s Diary - 2008

Hansa is on holidays for the duration of Angie's maternity leave, until Autumn 2008. Check out the pics (left) of her most recent escapade - going along to the filming of the Ready Steady Cook Christmas Special. It was worth the wait and Hansa had a brilliant time. We all love Ainsley more than ever before and we've developed a crush on Stuart the warm up guy too... He's like Dale Winton, only funnier and not nearly as orange... (sorry Dale!)

Bonjour friends!

I have LOTS of news today because I won't be working for a while. Angie is going to have a baby, so we get holidays - yippee!

First news is that I'm going to be on the telly! Last week, I wrote to Ainsley Harriott. He is so nice and we are going to visit him at Ready Steady Cook! We are going to go to the studio to see a recording and meet Ainsley. I hope we see Gino too. Angie will take photos and put them up later - please don't forget the camera!!! I better not forget my magazine for Ainsley to sign.

Next big news is about Zeeshan. He's got a new job. He is going to answer the telephone and work at reception in the NHS in Stratford. We are all very happy about that - Good Luck Zeeshan!

Today, Cornelius looks like Ainsley, coz he has no hair! Niecey was with us. She was greedy - eating chocolates and sweets... She'll have to go to the dentist if she's not careful!

On Saturday I will have a mendhi night. My cousin is getting married and I'm going to have mendhi on my hands. Yippee!

I'm going to go shopping with my Mum, do exercise, watch TV and maybe I'll look for another part time job. I have to think about it.

See you soon everyone.

Today, Hansa had no time to write in her diary, as she was too busy writing to Ainsley Harriott, her hero. As part of our efforts to change the world, today's task was to "write to some who inspires you". Hansa chose Ainsley. Let's see what happens...

Bonjour!

Ca va? Today, I brought my gorgeous bracelet to work. It is swarovski crystal - it has diamonds and it's very sparkly. Rina says when I wear nice smart clothes, then I can wear it. I think that will be my cousin's wedding on April 20. I am excited!

I still have my picture / poster of my husband - Michael Knight. Sometimes I give him a kiss... (it's a secret - don't tell anyone!!!) I don't kiss Dale Winton though. I saw him on telly yesterday and he said OH-KAY! I didn't like his shirt - it was so white!

Today, I made ingredients for little bags for Leigh's 30th birthday. Her birthday is in April. Everything is pink and black. Lovely! Zeeshan is here today too - he dropped his ingredients on the floor, that's not good! But we won't sack him, coz he's too good. We have to sack Angie's husband, because he can't stick the diamonds on properly. He is useless!!!

That's all for today. See you next week.

Hello everybody,

Last week. I wasn't here because Angie fell down the stairs! We arrived and there was nobody here, so we had to go home... But now I'm back!

It was my birthday on February 25th. I got presents. I got a Tom and Jerry DVD and I got scissors, ruler, pencil and pens. Rina got me a bracelet. It is very nice. I had so many birthday cards - one card opens and sings "Happy Birthday To You"! My brother didn't get me anything. He passed his driving test though, so maybe he'll take me for a spin!

Angie got me a picture of my boyfriend - Michael Knight. I couldn't look because I was blushing. I made new bags - orange ones, but I don't like that colour. I did a stock take of all the bags that we have. Soon, we will have lots of new ©Little Gifts of Feeling on sale in the shop. Keep watching!

We had a staff meeting to discuss how to make the world a better place. We picked ten things that we are going to do - smile, plant a tree, make eye contact, learn a good joke (especially for Zeeshan!), recycle and take the bus... You can join in with us if you like, just click here to find out more... We Are What We Do.

I brought jammy love heart biscuits for Myles - Angie better not forget to give them to him.

See you soon!

Hello everybody,

Next week is my birthday. I'm gonna be 25! I'm gonna have a party on Saturday - everybody's going to come to my house. I don't want anybody to get drunk. I'm going to wear a top and trousers, I'm not sure yet.

My dad came back from India and my Uncle came out of hospital. He's got sticks to hold in his hand to help him stand up so he doesn't fall again. I was very happy to see my Dad - he got me dress and a DVD - it's a cartoon. We were watching it together and I was laughing coz it's funny.

Today, I couldn't stop talking - I was chatting all day. Angie said o me "Jup!" - that means "be quiet in gujarati. Poor Zeeshan must have a headache. Today we made bags - new green ones. We are going to have lots of new ©Little Gifts of Feeling in the shop soon - very exciting! Zeeshan made envelopes and he made little cards. I think he was doing a good job - really good.

That's all for now because the taxi is here. Angie will put up pictures later.

See you soon!

Long time no see!

I am happy to be back to do my work. It was a very long holiday!!!

Since last time, I now have two boyfriends - shall I tell you who?

My second boyfriend is.... DAAAAAALLLE WIIIIIIIINNNTON! He is so funny on Supermarket Sweep. He says "Oh my goodness! That's good!" I miss him so much today, because I won't be home to see him. I'm going to the airport to collect my Dad. He is coming home from India. Yippee! He is bringing me a dress.

It's Rina's birthday on Thursday - she's 26. Happy birthday to Rina!

Oh yes, BIG NEWS! We aare going to be on DEAL OR NO DEAL on Channel 4! We got a signed photo from Noel Edmonds himself. One of the players is taking a ©Little Gift of Luck with him on the show. Good luck - we hope he wins a quarter of a million! It will be on TV in April - we'll let you know. Zeeshan watches all the time, so we are very happy to be part of that show.

Today, Zeeshan and I made ©Little Gifts of Love (for Valentine's Day), Thanks and Happiness. I was chatting all day, a real chatterbox.

We met Angie's friend Sheila, who dropped in. She is having a baby. And we saw pictures of Angie's baby, but we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. We'll let you know about that too...

That's all for now. Come back again soon!
