I have come back from my recent travels, with nothing but further travels on my mind!! Fortunately for me, in unfortunate times, my Mum has left a small inheritance which will be enough to clear my bills, freeing up a significant amount of monthly income, and have some left over for holidays! So, holidays are being planned, and more than that, booked!
So far, I have booked...
- London with X for 2 nights in London Town, including a show, for my birthday at the beginning of December.
- Edinburgh with X and Y (unless he's got a bloody job by then!!), and my sister and bro-in-law for 4 nights over New Year, for Hogmanay celebrations.
- Iceland with my friend CJ for 3 nights in February, to see the Northern Lights (hopefully!).
- Good old Butlins in Skegness with X, along with friends Bridey and accompanying kids, and new mother Disco,with (by then) 6mth old Disco Junior, for the May bank holiday week.
- Back to Scotland again for the August bank holiday week, with X, and maybe Y.
Other plans for the year include something for the October half term (I was hoping for Orlando, but pennies may not stretch!), and hopefully, Lapland for Christmas!
Next year, I'm hoping to do a month long round the world (currently, London, Miami, LA, (maybe Vancouver), Auckland, Christchurch (to see the fabulous ATM - not that she knows it yet!), Singapore, Dubai, London) over the Christmas/New Year period. Finances for that are yet to be sorted! Plus, a week or two in the year just to keep the itch away.
Hopefully, that should keep me occupied for a bit :-)

Nothing much to say
I'm afraid life is fine, but very dull at the moment.
I am spending far too much time on ebay, looking at (and sometimes buying) things for my lovely new house - which, as far as I know is still on track, although I still haven't had the mortgage offer or a completion date! I am hoping that it will coincide with the kids school holidays this year, which are the second and third weeks of April, and that doesn't seem very far away now! Have to admit that there is also a bit of me that thinks that something will go wrong and I won't get it after all, but I am trying to quash those demons with spending!
Not been up to much on the social life front. Went to a Bon Jovi tribute night with Gerii, Lily, her sister and assorted mates, and her neighbours the weekend before last, which was a significant step up from jazz, although very disturbing as "Jon Bon Jovi" was only about 12 it seemed to me, and a little disconcerting as a sex god in leather pants (as the real one is of course!). Was a good night though, helped along by her two neighbours who were both completed wasted! One of them ended the night being sick in her drive and then falling in it apparently! Fortunately that was after I dropped them home!
This weekend CJ came round Saturday night and we drank copious amounts of wine (see, I do drink sometimes!) and chatted until 3am! That was fine until I was woken every half hour from 7am onwards by X, wanting to do her "mothers day party"!
Oh, the excitement may just kill me!
