well hello strangers!!

Well what can i say but it's been a while!
 
So much has gone on since the end of January. Firstly work has picked up, busy recruiting for the teams in the south, plan is to have three by the end of august, have 1.3 at the moment lol!!
 
The BIG news is that i've moved, yes it was one of those drunked nights when your out with your other half and you talk about moving in together, wake up in the morning and you think what did we agree to lol!
Only joking babe .
 
Yes Gary and i decided to move in together, we started looking at places, no hurry as he's away training all March anyway, but then on the 2nd weekend we found a lovely cottage simular to the one i have now and decided to have a look and it was perfect. So took the house and got the keys 25th February, what a move!!
Then had to organise the furniture removal, we how expensive!!!!
Finally got the guy down from £800 to £500, still bloody expensive but better, and we moved in the following saturday, 4th march.
 
Felt abit weird, as Gary had to go off training again, he's away during the week at the mo, but gives me time to sort the house out. Only thing is that i can't just pop round to see friends / family now as there're 2.5hrs away, but it's not too far.
Unpacked the last boxes last night, what a relief . Starting to feel like home now.
 
Diary note, need to organise a moving in party!! .
 
Well thats all for now, best get back to work, take care and speak to you all soon. x.

hello!

So, what has everyone been doing over this last week?
As usual, i've been working, working and going to the gym! My new healthy start to the year has not been going too badly. Since the cutting down of the cigarettes ( with the help of a moaning boyfriend lol.....didn't mean it babe, it's very useful all your encouragement ), and the start again of going to the gym, i feel alot better and the xmas spread is starting to go lol.
I was expecting Gary to arrive friday night, but he surprized me and turned up a day early, thursday which was great. So we stayed in and had a nicce night cuddled up in front of the fire.
Friday we went to the gym, i did a bit of work and then went to the pub early about 6.30pm for an early few pints sat in front of the fire, then back at 9pm for the final of big brother lol, yes i know....sad, but tell me if you were in, you didn't watch it!
Saturday was a late rise and then off to tunbridge wells, car shopping, gary needs a new car so looked round all.....and i mean all the car show rooms, but did manage to find afew nice one's so fingers crossed he'll get a new car in a few weeks, but as the nice weather comes in i'm sure the bike will get used alot more!
Saturday night we went round to Sarahs for dinner which was a great night, lasagna and wine and loads of friends was a great combination for a fantastic evening, even if all vickie could talk about was willys lol .Sorry no photos.
Sunday was a nice relaxing day, walk in the forest with my sister, neice and the dog, then down the pub to meet thomas and then back to theirs for lunch, uuummmm very nice. After that a relaxing night on the sofa and an early night as gary was leaving for work at 5am. Bless wanted an extra night with me lol, i do appreciate it babe, i really do,and what an early night it was ;)!!
Well just another monday todo, work, work and the gym, but managed to drag my mum along, so now gary is back at camp, she can keep me company.
Well have a great week, don't work too hard, off to a work conference on thursday for 3 days, so catch up with everyone next week x.

The Weekend!!

Well what can i say, another busy week. Been busy interviewing all week, then thursday i headed to se Nicolette, we stayed in and had a well earned girly night in. wine, pizza and chocolate, ( yep the diet went completely out the window lol ).
Friday another interview then down to Garys. He was working this weekend on the new recruits training course so i decided to head down there and stay with him.
Friday night just out for afew, but the best bit was me staying in bed while he had to get up saturday and sunday for work lol, sorry babe!!
Saturday night we when out, had a fantastic night as always, drinking and dancing till the early hours followed by a burger and kebab and comendering some guys taxi, jumping in with him back to camp and getting him to pay for it......so not a bad end to the night lol.
Sunday Gary finished about 11am so afew hours relaxing in bed then off on the bike to Bournemouth. Was alovely day, but a little cold on the knees lol. Relaxing and then an early night, ready for an early start this morning!
Monday - today, up at 6.30am, not good especially when u get to your car, it's all frozen, it's minus 3 Degrees and you have no de-icer!
Again on the to Head Office,car slarts making funny noises, and steam starts coming out of the engine, as usual it's over heated, late again lol.
Work went ok, but once i got back to the car all the water had drained from my car all over the floor lol, not only that the cap had exploded off the water tank and disappeared.
The only advice i had was stuff some socks into it and drive slowly lol ( cheers babe ), but it worked and got me to the garage and after 45 mins and £34 later i was on my way home.
A quiet night in front of the TV and an early night.
Hope all is well with everyone, chat soon xxx.

Back from Scotland

So back again, from the freezing cold of sunny Perth to the cold of sunny Kent!!
 
The first impressions of Perth were great, everyone i met was lovely and believe me their were loads of people. I have never known anyone with such a large family lol. And i have to say now, i'll try and remember everyone's name but i very much doubt i will!
 
So arrived monday and went round to ben and angela's, the couple who were getting married ( see photos), tuesday looked round Perth and then over to Garys sisters for the evening, which was a good laugh, night food ( prepared by Gary) which gave Sarah and i a chance to chat and get to know each other, and drink vast amounts of wine!!
Wednesday, off to Edinburgh, had a look round, lunch, then back to Perth. Was meant to be a quiet night, but decided to go into town, doubles / doubles and last orders.....home? nope...club lol. A good night and quite drunk!
Thursday in the evening Gary had to go and try his kilt on, yes kilt!!!, it looked very sexy indeed ( check the photos lol), Once at ben's mum's we met some of his relitives and one of them only lives in the next village, you go 600miles north and bump into some one who lives 10 mins away!! How bizzar! Then Gary took me for dinner, at 'Lets Eat', a very nice restaurant in Perth, ate loads then off to the bars and ended up at another club, all this going out till 3am on a school night, is sssoooo, different than the lcoal pubs in the country lol!!
Friday we recovered yet again from the night before, and did last minute preparations for the wedding, by this point i think Gary was getting a little nervous about his best mans speech, it was good ( for an army, if you get what i mean!), but after it had been sensered by his mum and me!! it was fine for the audience who would be at this wedding!
In the evening out yet again but with his sis, mum and loads of auntys, uncles and cousions, but decided to have an early night and managed to be back home by 12am!!
Saturday was the wedding which went really well, it was a great day and i think everyone had a great time, through out the day and into the evening which went on till 12am.
Sunday they had a lunch, on for the family and wedding party which we went to which was very nice as well, then off to the airport to catch a flight home.
Overall my first experienced of Perth was fantastic, the place and all the people i met especially Garys family were lovely, thanks x.
Today we went to Bodium Castle had a great walk and then poped round to my sisters and as you can see from the photos, made Jess a house from a box, bless, i think now Gary is her new best friend. 
Well after catching up from the last week and probably bored everyone to tears who wasn't interested, i'll now go, a nice glass of red wine and a rawing fire awaits.
Catch up soon, and chat soon, emma, away with work now till friday so hopefully see you on MSN at the weekend, hope all is well with you to hun.
Take care, chat soon xxx.

where do these weeks go!!

So the end to another week, i'm not sure where these weeks go, one day it's monday then it's friday again lol.

This week has been a hectic one, work, driving, driving and a bit more driving....i think on average i've done about 6 hours a day, not good, knackered is not the word lol.

Thursday night went over to Garys, helped him nove into the new block, the majority had been done but you've got to help!!

Friday droped him off at the train station as of home to scotland for his best mates stag do, apparently went really well, paint balling during the day, then dinner / pub / club at night.

He 's feeling a little sorry for him self tho as he has ' man flu' !!! aahh!! lol.

Friday night i wanted a nice quite night in, so i was there relaxed on the sofa, tracksuit, bottle of wine, when the texts start ,'come out don't be borring'...etc, so dave came round about 8.30pm and draged me to the cric's, vicky was working and we met james and sarah, ended up being a good night didn't leave the pub till 12.30am! God nearly put my foot in it, ( blame the stella lol ), james was asking where gary was am i said at home on a stag do, and it was a shame he couldn't make his 30th do!!!, luckily he was quite drunk and i changed the subject after getting deadly looks from sarah and vicky, sorry guys, but it turned out ok, his surprise birthday do was saturday night and when he walked in the room he was so surprised he turned white with shock, he had a great night, we all did.

Was meant to be staying at becca's saturday night but decided to drive instead, so only had a couple, you know when you just want your own bed!!, well got home about 12am, and met james's ( now house mate) girlfriend, lucy, she's verynight but i think they were alittle shoked when i walked through the door....if you know what i mean!! lol. Well i left them to it on the sofa, and rang gary they had decided not to go to a club afterall so stayed up chatting till about 2am, i don't know what we find to talk about, but it's great we can talk for hours. 

So now it's sunday again and busy packing up the ex's stuff so he can collect it next week, got to tidy the house and pack my stuff as off to scotland to see gary for a week then the wedding next saturday then we both fly back on the sunday night, i'm really looking forward to it, a bit nervous meeting all the family and friends, all my lot think he's great and all get on really well.....lets hope his lot feel the same way about me, fingers crossed!!

Well thats about it for now, won't be on MSN  for a week or so, so chat soon guys and have fun.xxx.

Well guys, an end to yet another great weekend, last night as you can see was great at my sisters for fire works, i was a bit drunk when we got in, gary was driving as had to be up at 5am this morning as working at 9am, oohh not good lol, but it's quite nice when one of you gets up, but your the one who gets to stay in bed and go back to sleep lol, sorry babe!!
So last night managed to put the photos on but not much else lol, the family was there, plus the brother in laws parents and other friends, so about 20 in all.
Loads of food and drink, far too much red wine.....as usual lol! Had a fantastic fire and great fireworks, were abit conserned as last time we had fireworks at my sisters Pete, put on in the bucket of sand upside down and it blew it apart covering everyone in sand, he was in charge again lol, and Bob, thought one of the boxes was empty and threw it on the fire, but it still had one in it and it went off just missing Becca and i with inches to spare lol, thankful all went off correctly last night.
We left about 11.30pm, but they were all sat out till about 2am, spoke to my sister this morning, they were all a little worst for ware lol!!
Well thats about it for now, today has been very relaxing, a much needed slobing session in front of the tv, spoken to emma on MSN, and caught up on the gossip, which i have to say was pretty boring, come on emma, where's all your dates gone! Now i'm not doing the whole lim/ff dating thing now we need so funny stories from one of us lol!
Well have a great week everyone and will catch up soon with you all.

So as you can see from the new photos posted we had a great night out last saturday, loads of hilarity and alchohol. Started with a sensible meal, well it was till the bottles of wine had started to flow lol. Then the girls went on their night out and the lads went on theirs. Well as u can imagine lots of drinks, the occational shot...! Met at the end of the night, bar open till 1am, more drink, mini bus back to mine, half of us jumped out there and the rest went home with an eventful mini bus ride!!! ( you know you know!!). At mine drinks flowed till around 4am and eventually everyone passed out.
 
Sunday was definately a recovery day, we draged ourselves to the pub for some food about 3pm, but couldn't face it lol. Home for an afternoon of recovery on the sofa.......sleep, sleep sleep!

an end to another week!

Well can't believe its friday already, i just don't know where these weeks go these days. I know people say time flys when you get older, but if it goes this quick now, god, whats it going to be like when i'm 50 lol, a year will seem like a week lol.
 
So this week has been quite busy, loads of meetings, bollocked the odd trainee as not doing what he was supposed to be doing lol, well you've got to keep them in line!
 
Wednesday i went to the hair dressers, one of my mum's friends, Shirly, needed a model for the salons hair show, so had to go in and have my hair done. She cut it not to short though lol, and then put some high and low lights.  I've never dyed my hair in my life so was quite worried, but as it happened it turned out ok. She out in a brown, a copper and a blond, which does look really natural, you can see them but, they don't stand out dramatically. The show is a week today so should be ok, i'll let you know!
 
Yesterday had a meeting with Mr Monatone! lol, meeting went well but do u know when your sat there and u know the person talking hasn't got a clue about what their talking about........well that was him, no let me give him some credit, at least he could read the info from the paper lol. Well anyway looks like we've going to pick up some business from the company, so it was worth it. Gary came over last night, quiet night in and then he had a wedding to go to, today. But should be back for saturday night. We're all off out, was meant to be a girls night out, but the lads were complainting they would have nothing to do so we're all going for dinner at the Italian at 6.30pm, then the lads go one way, girls go the other and then we all meet at last orders and then back to someone's house for a party, it's going to be a good night, and another hangover sunday!!
 
Well best get on with some work, may update later but doubt it, just meeting jim for a quiet drink later so not much to tell, hope you all have a great weekend, take care guys, and those of you who are out on saturday see you then!!

Friday night went for a curry, afterwards picked up Dave and Nixi and headed to the Cric's as usual as Vicky was working and saw James and Sarah. Left there about 12am, back to Daves and eventually left there about 3am, quite drunk lol. No change there then!!
Saturday was a relaxing day, lunch, wonder round town, then we decided to get a taxi into town about 5.30pm, straight on the doubles, vodca and coke!! l ol, .....collected a take away ( chinese ), then taxi home about 8pm, DVD, take away more vodca, ( emma u should of been here lol), and then bed, i think it was only about eleven but those early doubles are not good for late nights lol.
Sunday picked up Jet sisters dog and took him for a walk in the forest, then parents round for sunday lunch. Went well, good food, even if i do say it myself lol, good wine and great company. Dropped the dog back, met the guys in the pub to listen to the band, back to Daves again, me, gary, james, sarah and dave, drinks, music and more food!! Left the car and got a life home. Overall a great weekend.
Monday, was one of those days, woke up felt like i had the flu, but didn't, you know when your tired, acky, and a bit fed up, but no cold, that was how i felt.  We went for lunch, felt abit better, came back and put on a DVD 'snatch', i think i saw about 20 mins of it before i fell asleep on the sofa, nice and cosy. Gary was meant to be going about 5pm but he decided to stay tokeep me company as i was feeling abit down. Had a quiet night in. An early night  as he was up at 5am to drive back to camp.

Birds and soot!!

Well another monday night after a long weekend and an interesting day!
 
This weekend has been great, friday night went to the Cric's, vicky was working as usual and met the guys, one of my best friends who i'd not seen in ages, Jemima turned up, she's been having a crisis....men! But all sorted now which is great so she'll be about more now, a girly night is needed, so watch this space girls, it'll be a good night!
Saturday, had the local Folk Day, stalls, morris dancers etc.. Funny to watch, well for a bit anyway, then off to the pub. In the evening we went out for dinner early about 6pm, had a couple of bottles of wine, should of known it was going to go paer shaped from then lol, then it was someone's bright idea to only drink doubles......Well after going round about 6 pubs, hammered was not the word lol. Well just about remember getting home but getting to bed who knows, just found myself there in the morning lol
Well i think i must of still been pissed as i had no hangover sunday morning  but it hit about 3pm! Headed to the local for the sunday carvery but started to feel that rough, could hardly eat, then home to bed lol.
Today was going to plan, admin and reports day, sat there drinking tea and then all of a sudden all this soot came out the chimney, a loud noise and a bird flew out!  Shocked was not the word....dusty, sooty, and not happy as as the bird was trying to find a way out it covered the lounge with dirt. So after getting it out, nearly all the soot cleaned up, another one fell out, not just one but two!! So had to clean all over again, not a happy bunny lol. It gets bloody eveywhere, but see the funny side of it now.
Well hopefully i don't have anymore, need to get it fixed as the last thing you need is to come home and find sooty birds flying round your house lol.
So anyone with any bird stories from this weekend? lol.
Have a great week, really busy with work so catch up soon x. 
9月30日

It's friday again lol!

Well what a week, well in fact what a month!! I can probably say this has been one of the worst months of my life....well slight exaggeration, but it was quite bad lol.
First off getting dumped for the second time...yes second time,same bloke, will we never learn lol, is never a good thing lol, but looking back it was so, the right thing to have happened to me, but as everyone knows you never really see it like that at the time. It's a shame in away as we got on so well and had such a great time together but sometimes things are just not meant to be, but we're still friends and hope we always will be, so if you do read this...u know who u are, don't be a stranger, and take care.
Second was work....well one thing after another, members of my team, leads, clients...the list is endless, but now there is light at the end of the tunnel, thank god lol
The good thing about this month is that i've met loads of great people on lim and fp, cheers to polgara for the introductions lol, life is now getting more interesting and alot more fun!!
 
Well today i've been really busy finishing everything off so no work over the weekend, off the the usual pub tonight, vicky's working so it's nice to have your mates in there as it's a friday and i know she'd rather be on our side of the bar than hers lol, mine's a G 'n' T, large lol.
Not sure what the rest of the weekend holds, out with friends, down the pub, out for dinner, probably the usual, but always good fun.
Well have a fab weekend and catch up soon, take care x.
