Holiday Inn Coventry M6 Jct 2

Last working hump day today so am on the home straight now. 2 working days left. Fly off in a weeks time (less than actually as leave Weds in the morning) so its 7 more sleeps to go.<br><br>Already this week is picking up speed and final things are coming together which is a relief - I am really quite organised (shock horror that won't surprise many of you). Finished yesterday at one clinic ...

... the moment.<br>Spent the day doing boring things - reading up on some CPD/Professional activities and sorting some files/photos on my computer. Made a cake to take to work - Guinness Chocolate Cake (A Nigella gem (she really is a domestic goddess if this is anything to go by - recipe available online for anyone interested)). Should have got out and about and see Brum for my last weekend here but got sidetracked and figured I ...

... So I am starting my trip with a head torch yes, but alas no high heels. It is absolutely terrifying knowing that I have exactly 2 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of walking trouseurs, a pair of jeans, 3 t-shirts, 2 vests, a fleece, a "going out" top (to where I don't know) and 1 dress to last me for the duration! I do however have ever piece of kit under the sun packed, I may have absolutely no idea what I am letting myself in for but I ...

OMG, I finally finished work on the 20th October and have been off now for almost 2 weeks. Lady of leisure you say ... pfff, no chance, far too much to organise, but on a positive note I have my flights booked, so I am definitely off on the 15th Nov!<br><br>So much more to sort out, so much more bureaucracy to live through, but not for much ...

... phenomenal. Within about 2 weeks I had a job working 60+ hours in a pub called the Shoulder of Mutton. I was getting paid £5/hr and working from 11am until midnight 5 days a week. The pub was absolutely horrible and although English people do not know this term, the word 'bogan' quickly sprang to mind. The majority of our customers did not work and spent what little money they had at the pub. It was due to these crazy hours that I managed to ...

There&#8217;s a picture of Laura and me taken about a year ago, standing in our pyjamas on the morning of our wedding with the event location owner. We were deciding the pudding menu for the reception that evening and I was yet to pick what I was going to wear for the ceremony and the party. So with that sort of attitude to organising our own wedding, it&#8217;s not surprising that despite a year&#8217;s ...

... the audience started coming to the stage and donating money towards the eye camp. To our delight we raised over £2000 on the night, this will go a long way towards the total sum required for the eye camp. OUR PLEDGE We are very thankful to each and every one of our guests who donated money. The money is received gratefully and, we promise, that it will be applied faithfully.

... Wars!!" (that's a complete fabrication for comedy value!!!) AND we are also at the same time finalising parts of my late father's estate, signing papers and organising certain items to be had etc. Let's just say, David and I don't things by half so now you get a real idea of what these blogs will be about: Humour, Chaos, Adventure and definitely a good read, come back often and carry on the laughter at our expense! Bye for now xx

... tombs in the graveyard at the front and the sides of the church and went over the hills. It is fascinating as since we passed by some farms and I saw different things on them. There is corn, broad beans. John said the harvest time is in August so if I want to participate in harvest my next visit should be august. We passed by several villages and I found many interesting names for a pub& inn like the 'Three Horse Shoes'. I wonder, will the room be shaped like a ...

... really beautiful houses here, many still with thatched roofs. (BevNote: Apparently it is law that, if you purchase a home with a thatched roof, you must replace it, when needed, with another thatched roof.) The weather has been mild and a bit damp. The gardens here are fantastic. Supposedly, they are kept the same as they were ...
