Bett coming up!

I'm off to Bett this week and I'm going to love it and come back with an entire trolley of stuff. Of course I will also be full of enthusiasm and excitment at all the new things I will discover and full of sadness that I can't hop on the plane and share it with people who get it!! lol

On the up side have been asked to present at network day again; so at least I'll get to do another training course (1 a year *sigh*) Ah well at least at Bett I am assured lots of free pens, mugs and gonks!

In the early hours

:)

It's been mentioned that people don't read this anymore because its too depressing (lmao). Sorry about that ;). Truth is this year has been really hard for many reasons which I won't get into here. I have enjoyed many things about 2008 though (of course I have) and despite my frustration i am happy to be with my friends and family. It has been a turbulant year and it's nice to see most things working out for most people.

Today has been lovely. I spent the whole day with my lovely husband in my new Pig slippers. We ate and ate and ate and LOF enjoyed the fact that I had deliberatly made too many sausages wrapped in ham - this meant that he could say " I want a sausage" and one would be delivered - heaven! lol Needless to say all 12 are gone now ;)

We've spent the whole day chilling out. Watched movies, cooked and ate dinner together. We entertained my Nan, Mum and Dad, Sis and G for about 2 hours and fed them some tea when they were on their way back from the hospital (visiting my cousin) which was fun. They did help those sausages to disappear though ;)

Once they left we just chilled out a little more. I'm really enjoying my new CDs. The Live Lounge 3 CD2 is awesome and very chilled. I actually like some of the songs that normally I HATE.... I suppose it's not the actual song I have a problem with.... lol

All in all it's been a very relaxed and enjoyable xmas. We're going to pop to see my cousin tomorrow and maybe take a trip on the bike so LOF can try out his new jacket. It all depends on the chain being oiled... apparently! If not I'll be reading "Beadle the Bard" and enjoying the complete lack of pressure to do anything. I'd forgotten what that felt like ;)

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY ;)
I've posted todays pictures below. :)

On living in the Uk for 374 days



dodgy quality (and video)
All true except the lyrics which imply I am tired from recreation...

Christmas

This song isn't intended to start a big debate about Christmas but it struck a chord with me (as it were) and I wanted to share it.

Uk = No blog

Well aparently it does. I never seem to be able to find the time to write anything longer than a few sentences these days; most of those seem a little dull!
I guess the blog has always tracked how i felt about things, what I was up to etc. Things are dull, dull, dull. LOL. No travels to report on, not very much in the way of new experiences either. Lots of thoughts in my head: most of them not suitable for the blog! lol

SO Update time...

1 ) We've started saving for the epic return journey. It's time for us to make a move (well as soon as the epic amounts of money are saved and the house is sold) back to the land of upside down. No offence England but you're killing me !! ;) As much as I love my friends and my family i KNOW that they're all ok and will continue to be ok even when i am in the other hemisphere; that's exactly what happened last time anyway.

Australia has it's head screwed on right and the beaurocracy, lack of trust and pressure just drives me closer to the airport with every passing week!

2) We have bought a new camera. SPAN its a lumix jobby and it's cool. Our old faithful HP Camera bit the dust after sucking the life out of yet another battery to the point where it was totally non -rechragable! LOF loves the fact that it has what we have called a "pap" mode - shot after shot continuously. He even followed me around a shop with it! Strange but celeb like.

3) Xmas shopping hasn't really begun and need to get on with that...

4) See! It's been over a month and i've run out of things to say...... tum tee tum tee tum....

LOL
