Is it worth it??

I have always found it hard to "hire" help to assist with things, such as cleaners/gardeners etc, I would always struggle till I am totally depressed and then get one.

I always worry about the money, I decided I would be "way out" this move and actually hire a cleaner and carpet cleaner to clean the house.

However I decided that as it was so much extra I would clean the cooker myself. Last night I started on the task and generally did ok but did have to stop as I had worn out my scrubbing cloths and my arms felt like they were about to drop off. So today I have the mamoth task of finishing the job (well maybe I will do it tonight)

and I am definately thinking I should have paid the extra money. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Goodbye......

Been a while since I posted and already we are on the countdown till we relocate, Saying goodbye doesnt get easier and it is so hard to say good bye to those you love, as a cop out, I would almost prefer to run away in the night when noone is looking and then just call them. I know that is selfish but I do find it all so emotional and tearful. Today The Davidsons left after a lovely day, those and the Robinson's have been such good friends for so long and we all were in the US and moved back here but we are deserting the ship and heading back. It is doubly hard with Emily expecting her third baby, i have been around for all of her other 2 births even managing to get there on the day Liam was born despite flying back from the UK that day, such emotion...........................................



I know I will keep in touch, I do and I wonder if Jacky and Emily really know how much they mean to me....I hope they do.

I think you are so very blessed when someone special comes into your life and i appreciate that so much, like the sisters I never had ...having fun together and more importantly making memories together, I really hope we can make many more memories in the future,

Leaving for me doesnt mean I dont care, it is just that our life is taking a different path,

Hold on it is the downward slope headed our way

uuuuuuugggggggg

Oh the post Christmas lull, it can be a pain, clothes too tight, weather crap, dark morning and nights and everyone is sick, it is so hard to pull yourself out of bed.

I have felt like I was walking round in a daze the whole afternoon, luckily I have managed to perk up a bit to get the chores done, so I wont get my weekly whipping for being a slacker.

I wish the energy fairy would come visit me......if you find her send her over



night night

A new Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR

WELCOME TO 2008

So here we are 3 days into 2008 and we are planning our getaway from the cold weather back to California, as I sit here I wonder how many times over the past 8 years have we packed up and moved - I guess maybe too many, but the good thing is we are getting better at it so next time it will be second nature.

For those who dont know we return to Northern California on February 2nd after a short sabbatical in the UK. Who know what is in story but we are excited about the change.

Apparently this January is going to be the coldest January on record so at least we have that to look forward to as we prepare for our departure.

I hope you all had a very good Christmas and New year and also hope you don't have to go into detox like I have done, I am currently eating grapes for breakfast and drinking a cup of Nettle tea, I put my body through a lot the past 2 weeks - which is very annoying cause from previous experience I KNOW it is way harder to loose weight than put it on, luckily over in the US they don't have many crisps I like so that is definitely good.

So.... lets get on with the show!!

Till later....
