Aaargh...

It's always when you're think you're already busy life decides to step in and prove you wrong. Work is still busy, not stressful, but busy nevertheless. And it's always when you're busy customers decided to annoy you even more.

Meanwhile my interview went well last night (yay!) so I get to go to training this weekend. (boo!) So I'll be working the whoooole weekend.

And to top it off I have to sort out our riddle of a gas bill. British utility companies suck people! Actually make that most British organisations of any kind. Oh for the elequent simpleness of Empower or ASB. *le sigh*

So things might go a little quite here as I will probably have expired of exhaustion by Sunday evening. Just kidding Mum!! Actually my brain is more likely to explode while on the phone to British gas on Monday.

We have lift off!

Since I am absolutey rubbish at keeping in contact with everyone, I decided to take the lazy (or is that geeky?) option of starting a blog so y'all can know what I'm up to.

Christmas and New Years was good and very busy with our trip up to Scotland for Hogmanay. We spent Christmas day at the flat with Yvette and Rebecca, and consumed loads of food and trashy British xmas telly. New Years in Edinburgh was really cool. Edinburgh is a very groovy little city. Our tour around the Highlands and Isle of Skye was brilliant. Got to see some amazing scenery and we managed to visit every single souvenir shop from Edinburgh up to Skye and back again as well. I think we must have broken some kind of world record.

This week has been pretty hectic at work as we are one woman down and have just discovered that January is our busiest month of the year. Who knew? I've also decided to apply for a part time job to earn some more moolah for our trip in summer. I've got an interview tomorrow so *cross fingers* all goes well.

Other than that things have been relatively quiet here. Everything has wound down from the Christmas/New Year holidays and there's no nice weather to distract us. It's freezing. No snow just yet, although Jess is hanging out for some.

Ah, isn't life in London absolutely enthralling? Nevermind. We're off to Brussels next week for Cathy's 21st so all going well, I'll have some tales of debauchery for you. (And of course by "debauchery", I mean "sightseeing.")

Should have some photos of Scotland to come shortly so stay tuned.
