I’m sitting here listening to Notts on the radio, Soccer Saturday on t’telly… Roo & I are finally enjoying a well earned weekend of doing chuff all! I thought it’s about time for an update; there’s so much to catch up on!

Well what can I say? I have done so much since the last update! It was lovely heading back down & catching up with everyone. Em & Frankie’s party was fab & the weather wonderful :D I headed back down again on Tuesday to celebrate Emmie’s birthday with her… she looked gawjus heading out into Cambridge with Stu!
Hurrah for being gainfully employed! I started Legwear a week ago & things are going well. I’m enjoying it there & there may be a strong possibility that I’ll be able to have a full time role there :D I’ll keep ya posted… Then bank holiday! Our WoW friend Crowe (Christina) came to stay with us from Denmark and we've had an amazing time with her! She arrived on Saturday and I took her to see Roo play cricket; I say see, we actually managed to catch the last 10 minutes of the losing! After a brief stop off at pub (it’s the actual law to do this when you have friends over!) went back and showed her Papplewick cricket club before a yummy Chinese! Nomnomon Saturday was a lovely lazy fair in the morning, we then headed into Nottingham. We saw at the beach in Market Square and we went to an amazing pub called the Pitcher and Piano; it's a converted church and I'd managed to get a couple of free cocktail vouchers! I sampled a lovely strawberry and lime cider & Crowe & yummy Gin & Grapefruit delight. The food was excellent; Emma… next time you’re up we’re soooo going here! :) Hey hey how we all doing?
I am pleased to say I’m feeling rather more relaxed than last week! Alex (the German!) helped me totally with the reporting on Thursday & that meant a far more relaxed Friday! Boy-oh-boy what a 1st week! I never want that level of stress again. After work on Friday & headed straight down the A1 & got to AJ & Grumpy Gray’s in record time! We headed down to the Axe & spent a lovely couple of hours chatting to Anne & Bren over a couple of sherries... unfortunately I didn’t get much of a chance to chat to Emmie :( Jan & Gray were, as ever, fab company & I had a wonderful time. On Saturday after my hair sesh, I got utterly caught out in the rain; so soaked in fact that I had to head straight home semi naked! Good job I didn’t get stopped, what an eyeful they would have had! I can't believe it myself! to be honest, it feels longer. Not working means you can do more in a day (not that I do hehe) so, what have we been up to?;
New iPhone Yup, I got me a 4g & she's a thing of beauty. I'm now selling my rubbish old phone on ebay & should cover most of the cost of the new one, so jobs a goodun! Jobs Well... I've now also been put forward for a job at Thorntons in Alfreton, Derby (about 20 minutes away) & I've also received a call about another job, but I declined as it was Doncaster way again, so too far. Things certainly seem to be looking up though! I've also got an interview! - it'll be either Wednesday or Thursday next week & it's the HJ Enthoven in Matlock role. I'll find out the date & time on Monday, again, I'll let you know :) Weight loss As soon as I moved up, the calorie counting started! (ish... actually started the Monday after I moved up & had a rather blow out Chinese & take away filled yumfest 1st lol!) I've already lost 10 lbs! (3 this week) Roo's very good at watching the calories & we've been doing a few walks. So far *touch wood* it's been rather easy, long may it continue to drop off! Well, as this is my 1st ever blog, I should make sure there's something memorable & witty... oh well, lets see what happens! I've been living in Kirkby now for 1 whole week! & I am LOVING it! I think I’m about ½ way now on the box unpacking front & the job search seems to bubbling along. I’ve got a temp job lined up to start on 26th July for Konika Minolta for a couple of months, the pays not the best, but at least I have a fall back plan. House still isn’t rented either, but, I’m being a patient bunny there too! Having discovered that I have all the window keys for my house daaan saaff here (slightly) oop north… expect a padded envelope soon mum!
The healthy eating is going well too & have been going for walks near Roobear’s cricket club… next time we’ll take the Bear’s camera as the views are stunning (compared to the flat I’ve been used to anyways!). I'm goind to try & post some picies next time!... egahds ain't modern technology ace? :) Please all keep in touch… you can post comments against these posts & I’ll try & update as often as possible… you know me… rambler extraordinaire! |
