Right, well I haven’t updated for ages as I wanted to give my Bruges trip the attention it deserves as we had a really lovely time. Tried not to let the immense tiredness over shadow the whole thing but I’ll get to that in a bit...

Wednesday

We set off from work early in order to get the ferry from Hull. We ended up being really early but I wiled ( Read more... )

In a desperate attempt to cheer ourselves up we've been watching The Muppets a lot lately. It's doing the trick certainly. We also watched 'Sunshine Cleaning' the other day as well. I expected it to be a bit more funny than it was somehow but I think that's to do with how it's sold. However I really enjoyed it. I think it helped that it wasn't ( Read more... )

God I'm depressed. And it's not even January anymore. I just want to a job that tests my brain and used my degree as I feel like my brain is becoming mush. I'm currently looking into short crusies. P+O have BOGOF on ones to Amsterdam, Bruges or Rotterdam. Very tempting. However, we did book a load of things at the weekend, including a 10 day ( Read more... )

Right, I need to write about Austria before I forget it all! It was a brilliant holiday and I know that I'm getting a reputation for swanning off around the country but it's the longest holiday me and James have ever had, so there. Plus, it was so cheap. I still can't believe how cheap it was. So...

I go home for my dinner nowadays and the way back out I bumped into our new neighbours. They seem very lovely even though I have deduced this from saying hello to each of them as they walked past my door. Mind you, I've also deduced that the male half of the couple is quite a tasty piece, also from the same hello. Sadly my mind has gone wandering ( Read more... )

Lucy's first -

1. Crewe
Well it's no secret that I think that Crewe is a shit hole and for many years I thought that all towns were as bad. Then when I moved away I thought that maybe I'd been a little harsh on the place. No. It's full of narrow-minded people because all of the proper Cheshire types have the common sense to live away from the place ( Read more... )

Right, time for a mammoth update on my trip to Iceland which, oddly, started nearly a week ago. It all seems a bit surreal now I'm back. It's like it never happened at all. Still, it was utterly amazing and I have to say that as holidays go it was so very easy to do. It has something to do with it being a small country but all the flights are ( Read more... )

I had an excellent weekend as Lucy came to visit us on Friday night. now I did plan on making Shepherd's pie except that I forgot the meat so that was that idea out of the window. However, I did make up for it by buying a Chinese and making a strawberry, blueberry and raspberry crumble (which I had all of the ingredients for so there!) so it turned ( Read more... )

Hooray! I’m back! Miss me? Of course you did because you know that now I’m back you’ll get an dissertation on how my holiday went :D

Saturday 25th August

We woke up at stupid o’clock and took a train to Manchester airport. Turns out that airports are the dullest places ever really. But at least they had music TV going on so I got to watch Robyn for ( Read more... )

So, plan MSc rolls into action. I finally plucked up the courage to talk to my new line manager (as of today. I thought I'd break him in gently) and he was great about it. He basically said exactly the same as me and everyone else who gave me advice. He said that I must think about me firstmost and that I should definitely do the course and that ( Read more... )
