Another update...

It has been a while!!!

Firstly, the new place.....Its awesome to finally be on my own, being able to have privacy, place for my things and being able to hang my clothes up is so great, something I missed terribly. The house is very quiet, everyone keeps to themselves. There are 5 of us (currently 4 coz one girl is never around) in the house, a couple downstairs, and then another girl upstairs in a single room. All of us share the kitchen, but we each have our own space in there somewhere as well as shelves in fridge/freezer etc. Then upstairs, just us girls upstiars share the bathroom and toilet as the couple have their own downstairs. My room is a double room, with a double bed, desk and tv and loads of cupboard space...only coz i dont own enuf things to fill them up, haha!! Its a very cosy room, overlooking the back garden. Will post some pictures of it in my slideshow soon, so keep coming back to check.

Secondly, the job......Work is going well, been there 6 weeks now, cant belive how fast its gone, sure does feel like I have been there for months. Get along with everyone there, have lotsa laughs with some and enjoy going to work everyday. Have got to know the regular members too, so its nice to have a chat with them when I see them. Its been quiet lately, coz of Christmas, but in the new year, its going to be VERY busy. We had our full team meeting a week or so back and everyone is pretty much pleased in the centre as the targets for 2007 were reached and the centre did very well.

As for other things....well Iv been to Cardiff often as always in the last month or so to see Bart. Usually go every 2 or 3 weeks. And as always, we have a great time. Its just so nice to have someone to see and spend time with, and he sure does spoil me!!! A few weeks ago, he came to London for a day on business so we met up that night and had a walk around the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, was -2 degrees that night, absolutely freezing!! We stood and wacthed people ice skating and had a walk around the stalls and stuff. Then in Cardiff the next time, we went to the Winter Wonderland there. Tickets for Ice Skating were sold out at the time, so we didnt get to go, but we went on the big wheel instead, again, absolutely freezing!! We both sat there shivering rather than enjoying the sights of Cardiff by night, it was crazy and so funny, he sat there laughing at me trying to talk with a frozen mouth. But afterwards, we went inside and had a nice cup of hot stuff.

I spent Christmas with him, got there on Christmas Eve and came back on the 27th. We had a very quiet Christmas Day, woke up around 11:00am after only getting to bed around 3am, watched some TV and just chilled out. Then later he started dinner. He cooked very nice salmon and a mix of crab meat, prawns and rice with sweet and sour sauce(that was full of carrots, red and green peppers). I only managed to eat the salmon...I tried the other bit, I just couldnt get my mind round it so couldnt stomach it. I am too fooking fussy!!! For Christmas, he gave me a Winnie the Pooh calender with very nice bright pictures and a very very cute Winnie the Pooh teddy.
On Boxing Day afternoon, we decided to join the madness of those out in their Sales mode and go shopping. It wasnt that busy really so we werent crushed in any stampedes. We bought a few things in a DVD store. The rest of the time there, was also just quiet, didnt do much, just watched DVDs and the Christmas specials of a few shows we both enjoy on TV.

Otherwise, nothing much else going on, slowly things are falling into place and Im able to relax alot more, trying to focus now on getting healthier, as the stress and worry of the last few months have taken their toll on me in a big way. But nothing to worry about :)

A huge thank you to my parents for supporting me in the ways that they have over the last months. It hasnt been easy, for either of us. But it just means so much that you've given me this chance to do all this and experience this. Love u both dearly!!

It has almost been 6 months since I left, I cannot believe it!!! I miss home and everyone so so much, its the only thing that kinda stops me in my tracks sometimes and makes me question whether I really wanna be here or not. And each time...I still cant answer myself. Its very very hard for me being away from everyone I love and missing out on things and seeing my little cousins grow up!!


I have the day off tomoro, so have a few things to do, like tidy my room!! And do a bit of shopping...so I better get to bed. I will put some pictures of things in my slideshow soon, so look out for them.

Missing u all, take care, xxx

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Hope you all have a great Christmas. Enjoy the day and all the food, wish I was there to spend it with my family!!! Miss you all!!!

I will be in Wales, spending Christmas with Bart, not sure what he has planned yet, so will have to wait and see what we are having to eat. Will update this blog when I am back.

Lotsa love, xxxxxxx
