England here I come! Wooo hooo!

Ok, it's not for ages yet, but even so, it's feeling pretty exciting lol.

Spoke to England again this morning. We discussed when would be a good time for me to be over there and have decided that after the wedding would be best. That way I don't have to rush off if I don't want to. This also gives me more time to get cash together and the boys will be back at school, so I'll get the chance to settle them there before I go. Haven't worked out what I'm going to do with them yet, but hoping Dad will come to the party again and help me on that one.

AND, what's even better is, the bride-to-be rang me last night, she thinks she's found a venue she's happy with down here, so I may not have to worry about the financial side of things to get up north. yes! Shouldn't count my chickens til they're hatched really, need to wait for confirmation on that one.

I spoke to the practise manager at work, told her that anyone that needs their shift covered this year, I'm her girl, I want as many as she can give me. She's already given me extra shifts for May so far (seems a long way away but hey, there's bound to be more coming up sooner). This is going to mean I'll be doing double shifts for a few weeks, but hey, it's going to be worth it. Might run myself into the ground making the dosh I need, but that's ok, my enthusiasm for my goal will keep me pumping.

*gasp* Who IS that masked font?

This far down the track, it's sometimes hard for me to remember where Dan and I came from. Not in the "Who am I?" or "What is my purpose on this earth?" kinda way you understand...but of how we met and how much that totally spontaneous meeting unexpectedly affected both our lives and the lives of those around us. It's been over 3 years since Dan stumbled across this blog, and almost 3 years since we actually met in person for coffee. Next February it will have been 3 years since I told him I was in love with him. Don't panic...this is not going to be a post filled with sunlight and rainbows, extolling the brilliance of the above-mentioned man and all he means to me. Would I do that to you? I mean to say...this is the first time I've put font to screen in over 4 months, do you really think I'd come back and get all gushy/mushy on you? Nah...that'd make even me wanna gag. The fact of the matter is...that it HAS been such a long time sinc

A Wandering Post

Hallo Everybardee! (that's my Sharon Osborne impersonation.) I'm listening to Lemar's "If There's Any Justice" while I'm sitting here wracking my brain as to what to write today. And this song coupled with the recent brain-hurty questions that are being flung at us via Lisa's blog have me wondering. How many people out there are sitting in unhappy partnerships/marriages out there? How many are bobbling along in their marriages, for fear of not wanting to be alone or for the sake of the children etc? I spent 15 years with my husband before I finally realised we just weren't the same people we used to be and no amount of compromise was going to get us through the rest of life together. I met him when I was 18...seperated from him at the age of 33...one a teenager, the other a much different woman and the mother of two boys. I don't regret this time of my life, not one iota...there's a lot of learning and growing to had in those 15 years. My

Sleep, Blog, Sleep, Blog, hmm

Working extra hours will of course take it's toll on my body...and to be honest, things are going fairly well in that respect...that was...until last night. Cos ya see, last night, I didn't go to bed at the usual time of around 1030ish. I sat here and read my entire blog history...and although that's not HUGE because I've only been blogging since the beginning of the year....that's still a fair amount of reading to get through. That, coupled with catching up on some of your blogs (didn't always comment on them, forgive me)...I ended up crawling into bed at 1.35am. 1.35AM!! I haven't stayed up that late since I first started playing backgammon on the MSN Zone (and then we're talking about 3 and 4am, I must've been nuts!). Now I know that 1.30 isn't an unusually late night for some of you...but for me? it's big these days...real big. So this morning (some of the only free time I have this week, I...am...knackered. Why do we do this to
