For the first time in a long while I will actually be in for the Trick or Treaters knocking on the doors. I have an image in my head of children in costumes coming round with their parents wanting sweets, etc (kind of America stylee). However, am I a bit negative in thinking we'll only get scally's knocking on the door wanting money and if they don't get anything they'll end up throwing eggs or water. Stay Posted!!

Oh yeah, it would help if I had some sweets on hand for all the terrors. I did buy some yesterday, but Cadbury's chocolate eclairs were just too tempting and ate most of them myself, hehe!!

On my own in the office!!

Has anyone flicked through to the next blog site after the one that you may be looking at. I've done this for about 20 minutes, reading extracts from each of them. Some of them are the most randomist (not a real word, I know!!) things I've ever read, but quite funny as well.
Try it, some sites will definately bring a smile to your face, great for a Fri afternoon and a start to the weekend!

Just the two of us

Alright....I know it's almost been a week since Harry and Viv left, but I just wanted to let everyone know that they got off safely, although it was a very emotional departure.
So now, Colin and I are in the land of living on our own (This last year doesn't count!!) and very nice it is indeed, although Colin's hours at work are very sporadic at the moment and haven't seem him that much. Bless him, he is working hard to save for our wedding (the bills can wait!)

Anyway, back to Harry and Viv.....As far as we know, the first night they arrived they stayed in Dar Es Salaam and lived it up in a hotel with a pool and the day after, they travelled to the village. Now, I have heard that there house in the village is very nice with 2 double bedrooms (ready for us when we visit!) I believe they have settled in, although this is on the grapevine. Updates will be posted when I hear from them as unfortunately internet is too expensive for Harry and Viv to have their own blogspot and keep it up to date.

We're going to look at our 2nd wedding reception venue on Sat, Aaaargghhh, cant wait!!!!!! (and believe it or not, Colin got the wedding bug and became excited after visiting the 1st one, yeah!)

So, here I am ready to post a blog, but can't for the life of me think what to write about. Every time I have something to gripe about I usually moan to Colin (need to re-think my methods of stress management!!) and whenever anything good happens I'm usually to excited to remember to sit at the computer. One of these things is birthdays (that I know of) to celebrate and therefore I have posted a belated birthday wishes list.....

September was the month for my beautiful friends Kelly Cartman and Liz Wall and great nights were had with both of them.

October has been the month so far for Gary Bateman and his daughter Louise Colyer (birthday was yesterday) who both had fantastic birthday cakes with their photos on.

Now, one thing we are both excited about is watching the 2nd season of LOST. We missed both seasons whilst we were away, but we did mange to buy the 1st seasons box set in Vietnam for £4 and watched all 25 episodes in 7 days (good going, eh!!) when we got back.
We have now just started to watch the 2nd season and really excited to find out what's happening!

Actually, now I've started writing I can think of loads of things to be sad/happy about, but I won't go crazy. I'm am gutted though that I missed Nottingham's annual Goose Fair this year. I vowed not to miss it again after last year, but with everything going off at the moment I actually forgot about it, boo hoo!! : (

Anway, enough!!
