It's been a while...

Well - things have been a little hectic over the past few weeks.

Mike arrived safe and well and we moved into our little cottage together just over a week ago. The place needs a little work but the re-decoration is in full swing. I'll be happy if the place is sorted before Christmas to be honest.

Work is unbelievably stressful - I don't think I quite realised what I was letting myself in for when I took the job to be honest. I'm not a calm person by nature but I'm learning slowly but surely that stressing doesn't get you anywhere... other than a nice padded room and a straight jacket! I've just got to learn to breath deeply - take each day as it comes - and learn to let it wash over me.

How long do you think I'll last?!

It's Mike's birthday on Saturday and I think I'm more excited than he is. I've got him a lovely pressie which I'm sure he'll be very happy with. I've had it for weeks and have been bursting to give him it... almost there now and I can share the secret!

Once we're up and running with our own internet etc I'll be able to update more regularly. I just haven't found the time to get things sorted properly yet... I will... eventually.

Speak to you all soon
