Brain Ache

What a great idea to keep in touch and share stuff! My entry here is long overdue,but it starts now.Life for me has been a bit rough recently,i quit my useless job coz i couldn't handle it,and went to see my doctor who did a few tests and told me i have anxiety and depression,apparently there's a chemical juice of some sort that's meant to help me plan,organise,and feel naturally high,but i burn it off before my day even starts,so i'm on tablets,and incapacity benefit!! I am applying for jobs though, but no luck as yet,doesn't help when i get rejected by Mcdonalds, I must not have enough spots or something.
Sarah and I are doing well,we've started playing tennis of an evening,just gets us exercising and doing something fun,and Sarah plays golf alot too,which she loves.
Me and my mate "Fish" started a covers band,but the bass player dropped out as it wasn't his thing,so i'm not doing anything music wise at the mo,so i thought i'd put this picture up,taken during a gig a few years ago,i don't know what my face is doing but i was busy at the time! Love you all

William's Chateau!

After a few months of dealing with the council and stalking the housing office I have managed to wangle Grandad a little bungalow in Lower Halstow. It means no more driving to London for Mum, a better quality of Grandads life as he will get to see more people and have neighbours of the same age (I met his next door neighbour Margaret - she's lovely!). Its a much safer place for Grandad to be and I know he will be happy. Mum and Dad have been really busy organising the move and arranging moving vans and all the gumph that comes with moving and have been total hero's! It just could not have happened without them.

Bungalow Bill's official move is on the 25th of July and even he is really excited! Steve and I went over to help pack all his ornaments and golf trophies etc and he was getting so excited about it all, its great to see him looking so happy about something!

Well, here are a few pictures of his new pad, its just perfect for him. He has ordered new carpet (biege with flecks of colour I have been informed!) and is buying a red velour couch...hmmmm!!!

I'll keep you posted and send you new pics once he's settled!

Passed!

Phew! I am not sure who does and doesn't know but I managed to pass my exams with a first which is really good apprently! I am well please and suprised that I am capable of doing fairly depthy chemical equations even though I failed my maths GCSE twice!

One year down and five to go! GULP!

IT'S ALL OURS!

Today we finally signed papers and bought our new house. As you can see its a box. $309,000 doesn't get you much in this particular part of the region but at least its close to work and has everything we need. It does need some work as you can see. I guess we have a busy couple of months ahead of us. We'll be painting both inside and outside first of all then a slight remodel of the kitchen and then we'll focus on the garden..front and back.

Note Vicks new car already in the driveway.

We're really excited about the house and especially the area it's in. Can't wait for you all to come out and visit when you can.

7 months and looking gorgeous!

Here's Vick yesterday with our neice Emily.

As you can see she's looking great. 2 months to go!

NEW HOUSE!!

Finally!!! We close on the new house on Monday. We are very excited. We are moving to a 3 bedroom baungalow in Duvall. We will be house poor!!...but thats o.k....we can be poor for a while.
I will post pictures as soon as I take some. We will be doing lots and lots of painting and tiling and work in the garden.
So much change going on in our lives right now. It's crazy but we don't feel stressed out....trying to just go with the flow.

Pictures to follow!

Emily's concert

Emily was invoved in her school concert last thursday. It was titled Troy story and was the story of the Greeks and the Trojans. Emily was a greek dancer and was very excited. Due to daft rules we were not allowed to film it or take photos but afterwards we snapped a couple of pic of Emily in her costume.
