All Change

Well, the Broadband is fixed - sort of! It took several phone calls (the most recent taking 25 minutes!)and fiddling around with the line and the modem, but almost normal service has now been resumed!

Since last blogging:

*My 25th Birthday happened, it was fun, got cool stuff had a nice evening at Emma and Adrian's with some folks form church and kicked a** at Disney Trivial Pursuit (Can you name the cat up the tree at the beginning of "The Incredibles"?....I did - I know, I'm a freak :) )

*Also for my birthday, the mother, the sisters and I went for a fab meal at the "Red Lion" in Earlswood. I picked it because the serve Hunter's Chicken..mmmm.. my favourite (Chicken served with BBQ sauce covered in Bacon and cheese....mwa!) so we had a fab evening with Red Wine an open fire and, oh yeah, I got a job!

*Last week I started at said pub as a waitress, something I've never really done before but I do a bit of bar work now and again so I feel at home. It's a lovely place to work and keeps me busy!

*Also on the work front P.E.E.L rang me to offer me a job on the 'Celebration' over summer (well Feb-Nov, that's a LOOOONG summer!). It's a new position involving DSMing 2 evening plays (which replace 2 of the more usual musical shows) and a day time play, as well as sorting out the various lecturers/speakers who will be on the ship giving presentations. It sounded great except for the fact that I would have to DJ/Tech for 2 months before I started it and then I would be DJ/Teching when I wasn't working in the main lounge. I feel that I've served my time as a DJ/Tech and really can't see myself going back to that position....in fact....I can't stand the idea! SO I turned it down....First time I've done that - kind of a scary feeling!!

I was SM on the 'Destiny' before we left and I thought I did a pretty good job, I really enjoyed the work and loved the responsibility so I'm not sure I really should go backwards in the line of command. I'm going to call this week and have a chat to the Top Bods who were on there at the end with me and see what's happening.

* Have completed decorating the 'New' (it's about 12 years-old now!) bathroom, stripped all the paper in the Old Bathroom (now just waiting for plasterer) and started on my room. I've dismantled my huge, but v.useful corner workstation (coming to eBay soon!) and am creating one with various shelving parts from IKEA. Have planned a sort of Victorian colour theme for the walls and bought all the paint etc. Also fitted a new light and Junction box (yes, it's been tested by an electrician!)for my room so my Mum will no longer complain about the fact that I have three bulbs on, on a dark afternoon!

So all in all have been pretty busy! Will have some photos up soon of the decorating progress but also hoping to spend some time updating my Morris Minor Blog before I go away again.
