Well we made it - worn out, dead on our feet, but the party has been and gone and the house a different place - although still lots of work to do.

We were like headless chickens right up to the hour of arrival but went off brilliantly and think a good night was had by all.

Massive thanks to all who came, especially the many of you that travelled and stayed in hotels.....

We have had a weeks rest, albeit I was still rushing an OU assignment til wed night, but now chilling and enjoying the footie

Still no kitchen and B&Q getting worse by the day but hopefully we will get there in the end

Shocked at how long since I last updated my site....Been so manic home and work!

I have uploaded some photos (My birthday, ski trip, Devon and Castle Combe). Although seems a very long time ago the holiday was brilliant and a much needed break from routine but has all been a bit mad since we got back. Matt is buried in house renovations and we are both really busy with work. All a bit stressful but will be worth it. Just hope Matt is still in one piece by the end of it all - working all hours!!!!

Off sick a few days at the mo - luvly cold/cough but almost an excuse to rest. Although finding it difficult to relax. Glad its a bank hol weekend!!!

Been a hard few weeks. Wrote a 2000 word essay, designed a t-shirt, exercised loads, work manic and house in upheaval - no wander Matt and I are so exhausted.

One more day at work then 13 days escape. Cannot wait. London Wednesday then off on holiday.

Although pretty tempted to just sleep for two weeks, if could find a clean spot in the house!!!

Take care all

Hectic times. Been a mad couple of weeks and we are both exhausted as a consequence. Hours taken up with work, study, exercise and the house...

Everything is a big mess but work in progress and moving fast.

Hope you are all well

Sunday 28 Feb 2010

Another very productive week on the house-front and lots of exciting stuff happening although the mess is getting worse and feel like I live in a constant layer of builders dust but hey ho has to be!!

Weather pretty awful with non-stop rain which is causing some delays but hopefully they will ge sorted this week.

Had a great Saturday night out catching up with a girlfriend not seen in over 10 years and also celebrating a 30th birthday.

We are both worn out today and chilling now watching a film

Sunday 21 February 2010

Another week gone by - isn't time flying past!

Lots of movement on the house and getting messier by the day - ha ha!!!! Be worth it in the end though. Matt full force ahead, full of ideas, enthusiasm and energy and working very hard.

Been very crazy week at work with being short-staffed - very busy - must be a good sign that the market is picking up I guess....

Out all day yesterday, classes/gym and lunch with a friend but not much today - have to confess only climbed out of bed gone midday and still worn out.

Just finished 4 hours of course work - gonna chill with some wine now.

Have a good week all

Tuesday 16 February 2010

Time to relax seems in short supply of late - if not working, chores. If not chores, study. If not study exercise.....and on and on it goes. If not 'hanging out with friends' falling asleep in front of the TV. Worn out but guess I can never complain of boredom. We are head fast with movement on the house, Matt working hard and lots of dates/plans in place for next steps.....

All a bit mad, messy and chaotic but good to see things on the move at last....

Weather pretty dismal but rain rather than snow and at leasts mornings and evenings are getting lighter.

Valentines day was nice with flowers and a good meal at one of my favourite places - The Black Horse Hookwood - after which we watched the Palace Game - Good luck to them for the replay in a week or so.

Looking forward to a holiday end of March and Easter Break - think we might just need it by then!

Sunday 7 February 2010

Cannot believe how quick this year is going already. Maybe because the first few weeks seemed washed out with the bad weather!

Finally uploaded New Year in Solden Photos and some snow photos from earlier in the year - so check them out....

Other than that just enjoying being back to normal. Back on schedule with my execise although still not hit the streets again, bit cold so preferring the treadmill but might give it a go next week if feeling brave.

Had much needed nights out catching up with friends and cancelled get-to-gethers from before the snow arrived. Bit busy on the OU front, at the mo having a cross-over and doing two courses but in general enjoying the work but just hard on assignment weeks.

Went to the Gatwick last night and saw a band called the Baffolo's which, playing 60's music, were entertaining and good fun.

Just home today, Matt's busy working on loft insulation!!!!!!

Have a good week all

Happy New Year to all!! Sorry late with the message - been a strange start to 2010.

We had a great time in Austria for new year. Great company, lots beer, skiing and atmosphere. New Years Eve was brilliant as always, great fun. Will upload photos at a later time, some issues with the site at mo which need sorting before I can do that.

Our journey home was a bit longer than it should've been, taking 23 hours! Was heavy snowfall the night before we left and with everyone hitting the roads on the same morning (Being 2 Jan - end of holidays). We missed our 11pm ferry only reaching Calais around 4am in he morning. Eventually got home around 0930 and crashed but at least had a few hours pre work.

Last few weeks been a bit odd with Horley/Crawley being hit with the heaviest snowfall I remember seeing...meaning life in general put on hold with no nights out/gym/running and work not great with me being in alone some of the time as everyone snowed in - one of the downsides to living local I guess.

But......thankfully....seems to be all clear now.

Had a good few days back getting 'out and about'. Went to see 'The Road' Thursday, very emotional/deep movie - slightly upsetting, Friday in the pub and today we took part in a 'Save the Saab' rally which was good fun, ending at the Duxford War Museum - surprisingly interesting.

Anyway, hope you all doing ok

HAPPY XMAS AND NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Hope you are all having a good one and Santa brought you everything you wished for!!!

Had a great night out in the Railway, Crawley, last night. Mike Dobie was on and it was a great atmosphere and brilliant fun. Well done to him and the staff (Very very friendly). Really enjoyed ourselves.

Relaxing today before heading off to Austria in the early hours tomorrow, so, to those I wont see, have a fab New Year.

Speak soon
