I have not written in freakin' yonks so here goes....
Lots to say -
In my last post I was on the verge of losing my job, my house, my dignity + more. It's amazing what 3 months can do! I am now in a new job, still at IBM, chuffed with a lovely pay rise and life is good again! I have just returned from a relaxing week in Turkey which was interrupted slightly by a rough cold which saw tissue fest 2013 in full swing. Despite the unwelcome illness we had a fab time! Molly Mo was such a joy to be around for a whole week, each say she climbed the stairs to come and jump on Jay and I to wake us up! I couldn't love her any more, i'm fit to burst :) We had a day at sugar beach, some great meals out and purchased a few goodies!
The house is coming together and I am loving life at 34, Fortunes Way. I love going home after work to cook dinner and getting snuggled in front of the TV! Jay hates the blanket but I am literally cold all the time so it is a staple to be honest.
I have 7 people coming for Christmas Dinner and i'm already freaking out slightly! I am so looking forward to it though, I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I even purchased some Christmas Pyjamas the other day, if anyone says it's too early, screw y'all! I am Christmas obsessed. Not interested in any Scrooge that wants to out themselves to the world. How can you not love Christmas? An impossibility if you ask me. Now the real question is real tree or fake tree? I LOVE a real tree, the smells are to die for, but I am kind of swaying to fake due to the cost implications and the number of uses you can get out of it....ah I can decorate my own house this year! Waahoooo! Can not contain my excitement.
I have 3 Christmas outings planned for Dec. 1 with my old team in IBM at Zizzi Port Solent. £19.95 including prosecco! What a bargain. Slightly more up market meal with my current team at Abar Bistro I have gone for the mackerel paté, pork belly & cheese and biscuits - delish! Finally an 'evening' out AKA no meal, just drinks! I love the busy - ness of the festive period! Makes the rest of the year seem relatively dull, though of course it wasn't.
Before Christmas we have a number of things to look forward to. Thursday we're going to The Kings to see Gemma & Chris in Sweet Charity, Friday is my Kirsty Lou Lee's leaving do at The Bombay Express, everyone loves a reasonably priced curry and a bring your own drink scenario! Saturday it is girls night at Victors house and after that November brings FIVE in Bournemouth....transported back to childhood goodness.
All hail 2013.
