" Feliz Navidad "

Our baby had her first short day at her new school yesterday, in preparation for Kinder next year. She had no problem with me leaving her and said she really liked it when I came back to pick her up..so that was great. Oh she is so grown up these days...I took her to a pool party at her dancing teacher's place and she had such a good time, she kept saying " I'm excited " over and over again...I don't mind being her taxi service either as we always have such good chats in the car. I took her home via a house which has all stag lights and elf lights on it, but it was only 8 o'clock and too light and they hadn't been switched on...boohoo. I cared more than she did !

I want to leave the Christmas tree up all year !

I am going to a lunchtime do at my mum's today with my sister, my mum has invited all her mates, so I will be very young in this scenario...I will also be very fat as they ALWAYS put on a great spread. I love food so much, no wonder I am jelly-wobblicious !

" February 6 2008 "

I am having erotic dreams already, but I am going to see my darling Rufus on February the 8th next year. Not only that but we are staying in the same hotel as he. Not that I actually want to meet him. I have found that every time I have met a star I like, after that I don't like them anymore. I wonder if it is because the mystique is taken away ? So, on that note, I have told I, that I don't want to meet him. I do however want to project my lust onto him secretly, and drool inwardly as we watch him. We have been promised VIP treatment, which so long as I don't have to meet him, will be great. Damnit, he's soooooo hot !

On a totally different note, I think I am going to have to get I to kill our cockerel, I can't get a wink of sleep beyond 4.30 am... that's a bit of a buggar isn't it ?

" ...and the Winner is..."

Last night I was co-Emcee at the school awards. I did think I would be nervous, but surprisingly I wasn't. I was very impressed how I talked slowly and clearly and and varied the script from being boring, to slightly less boring. I even received a stunning bunch of flowers for my efforts..how great is that ? I didn't expect that !

I love out new house. BIG SIGH. I can hear I outside finishing Morgaine's Christmas present off, see one of the cats sitting sunning herself, Christmas music plays on the player, and I have an aerial which means my internet is not as slow ! Yippee and hurray.

I am reading " A Christmas Carol " by Charles Dickens right now, it is a version with lots of annotations to it and I am very interested to learn about certain customs and language from Dickensian times. I wonder if Charles Dickens ever thought he would become eponymous within the English language ?

" The Chickens Are Settled In Their Rightful Place "

I am not keen on only being able to blog every now and then. I will be glad when we have or satellite dish. As we have to apply to the government for the grant, it could take some time.

Went for the interview today, it went ok, but the pay is soooo shi*. Especially compared to what I usually get. I know this sounds very mercenary, but it is ONE QUARTER per hourly rate of what I get as a teacher. I kind of hope I don't get it and then at least the decision is made for me...I don't know, I guess the universe will sort me out.

Well the Christmas tree looks ace, pretty delicate lights, and today I spent more money on more decorations. I just can't help myself, there are some delicious ones about, little tin Dickensian style people- to drool over. Presents are bought and all is well.

Have read a couple of books I have forgotten to mention recently, '' The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas " and " Gatty ". My pile at the side of the bed is so juicy, I can't wait to read more !

" I'm Trembling On The Brink "

I have an interview for a job next week. I am not sure about the job itself, for it seems to waver far and wide from my own beliefs. It is not illegal, it is not naughty in any way, but I am concerned I will be going against who I am. I am good friends with 3 of the 4 panel members, so chances are high for me...but there's a little voice in my head going....don't compromise girl !

" Whoa Cheese ! "

Ok, we are on DIAL UP !!!

OMG, could it be slower ?

We are going to get satellite, and soon I hope, I can't deal with this.

Anyway, we are almost moved, moving yourself as I mentioned before is hard work. I have been anxious and uptight for two weeks now, I have developed back pain and insomnia, but hopefully it will subside soon. It's driving me nuts.

On the positive, we have been having spas nearly every night, the house and rainforest here rocks. I do feel like I am on holiday, which is why I want to get rid of my anxiety, there is no call for it at all. Our gardens smell so lovely, I love waking and smelling the garden every day, and today it has rained, so even nicer smelling after the rain :)

Have enjoyed having a break from Ebay and have put my store on holiday until I can get the connection speed a bit faster. I am inspired to working hard on Ebay, the last month has been great and helped me to rid my life of such peripheries and rubbish that I don't want anymore. I do keep going on about it don't I ?

I am looking forward to putting up the Christmas tree, we have begun to buy little food treats for Christmas, as let's face it, what's better than food ? You know that Woolworth's supermarket has some great bits and bobs for Christmas decorations, not expensive.

Presents will be minimal this year, as we are doing a secret Santa type thing, except for the kids. It isn't actually secret Santa as we all know who we are buying for, but it makes Christmas a damn sight easier, not having to buy hundreds of presents for people, usually junk, that people don't want. I am buying for my brother, and I is buying for my mother.

I love Christmas lights and decorations, but the presents I can take or leave !

Anyway, I have a plan to save the zoo ! But do I really have a plan to save the zoo ?
