Firefly

OOhhhh. We only have one episode and the film left.... I'm sooooo saaaaad...........

Thursday

So, we're still unemployed bums but hoping our luck changes next week! We have applied for about a million and hardly heard back from any! What?!?! But, we've sorted out a phone and can have internet at home, so should be much bettter now! Like we can call people!! Woohho! That's progress I tell you!

 

Been to Sharon's today, been lovely seeing her and Trev again, we've been sufficiently stuffed too, no need to eat for a week! Managed to do some job stuff too...

 

Had Matty around last night which was very cool. He seems to adjusted very well to London life, off to the theatre every other night, salsa dancing, yep, the lot really! Hopefully he's popping over to Sweden for NYE as well, would be very cool indeed! Will have to try to find a cheapish flight : ) Funny talking to someone we haven't seen for a while - what I realized was that Col and I have turned into the one person.... The last few years everything we've done has been together, we have the same opinions, say the exact same things.... Hahahah! We really are Jesscol now!! Is this healthy I wonder.....!

 

Karro should be in the country in a matter of hours, oooh! We're meeting tomorrow for some shopping (or maybe the girls will need a break and we'll get there for the coffee instead!) WIll have to wait and see!

Snart..

....kommer Karro!!!!!

 

Du, jag tankte bjuda er pa indisk mat, tycker alla om allt, eller ar det na'n som inte ater na't speciellt??! Let me know!

Sunday 26th

Oh, we have news! Things are slowly happening- finally! Col’s designed some stuff for a job, and is waiting to hear what they think. I had a call on Thursday from a company and had an interview on Friday. It was bizarre to say the least! I was meant to have got an email on the Thursday evening (by 5pm), so we went to the internet café but nothing… Didn’t really know what to do as I had no details about the company (I hadn’t applied for a job with them, they had got my CV from somewhere), not even a phone number! Soooo, the following morning I just hung about waiting for them to ring me. They admitted it was their mistake, the email hadn’t been sent until 6.30pm! Anyway, they said I could just pop down as soon as poss and they’d see me! Heheh! So I took the train down to Tower Hill and found the place. My interview was with the MD, and the job is PA/Admin for him. He’s a pretty damn cool guy called Marlon. The interview went pretty good I think. I didn’t really know what they were looking for, and knew nothing about the company as not had a chance to check their website..! We ended up chatting about travelling most of the time! Hahha! I’m good at that at least! He did say he’d seen about 30 people and will shortlist 5, and I’m one of three so far. Hahah! Weird! Will find out on Wednesday. Not really sure if I want this job though, it sounds a bit all over the place, haven’t even seen a job spec! And it’s 8.30-5.30! Ahhh! How will I cope!?!

Met Sez for a coffee at the Bean and Cup Café in Camden, so great to see her! So much to chat about as always. Can’t wait until we can actually see each other on a regular basis again!

Saturday: Had a really nice day, Col’s Dad Brian, Sandie and Sam came over for the day. We hung out for a few hours and then we were treated to dinner, went to an Italian around the corner, yuuum! Col was in heaven, he has now officially named Saturday to Mussel Saturday! Half a kilo of mussels, yep, heaven for him indeed! I had lovely pasta with pesto. Came back home for some tea and cake which was followed on by killing off everyone with some of our pictures from Asia. And some bubbly too! Yum! I accidentally drank Col’s too…! Hmm! Hope someone is off to France soon so we can get a few boxes of wine… Always handy!

It’s been pouring down with the rain the last couple of days, thunder all morning today! Cool! We’re not getting dressed today, just gonna lounge around! Hoping to see Ivanhoe, it’s been sooo long!

Oh, Karro is arriving on Thursday! Cooooool!! She’s got the gang with her. I was planning on having them over for lunch or dinner if they have the time for that! It’s all about shopping and clubbing I think! Karro – let me know what you think! Can’t believe it’s almost December! Madness!

Monday 20th

Sorry, been a looong while!

 

Still job hunting! I went one further and actually got one! Well, it was for tomorrow for an investment bank in Piccadilly, and I decided I don't actually have any clothes or shoes for that matter to work anywhere posh!!! So had to say no in the end... Little bit short notice anyway, just got the call an hour ago, and we're at Col's Mum's!!! Panic!!! Got nervous there for a minute! Got another email about a children charity, hope they'll call me back tomorrow. It's in Green Park and sounds like an OK thing to do. Will have to wait though... Looks like 80 people applied for it so.... Hmmm...

 

Not done too much since I last 'blogged', had a lovely lovely weekend, just me and Col, chilling out, going for lovely walks - the weather has been stunning! Sunny and bright! Mmmm! Col managed to change the gaskets on the bug, we bought some new ones as the old ones had completely vanished, and lots of oil was trickling out... One of the many places with oil leaks! Well, this one has been fixed now! Hooray!

 

Went out on the piss in Camden with mates from old work on Wednesday night - ooohhh! I've missed them so! Had a really cool night! We had some dinner in NW1 and it was tasty! God bless those Thais, they know how to cook! Got home OK too, tube doesn't take too long! Walked Sez half way to the res first, couldn't let her wander the streets all by herself now!

 

Tired now, will try to update some pics, and that's it from us in the UK :)

 

Cross fingers for workie!

 

 

New house!

Moved in on Friday! Woohhhooo! Been very busy! Did a couple of runs to Great Ashby and loaded the van. Col's Mum and Trev helped lots too. Went and celebrated in Pizza Ezpress afterwards, tasty! Had one glass of wine and felt a bit tired! Think we all were starving by the time we actually got to eat!

 

Saturday was full of sorting out, and Sunday was Ikea day : ) Bought a bookcase, coffee table, tv table and a chest of drawers. Oh some extra bits and bobs too of course, can't go without picking up some candles for example!

 

Today has been a lot of sitting around. Had to wait for a plumber to come and fix our boiler...cos, yes, we've been without heating and hot water all this time!!!! Arrrgghhh! It's been coooold!!!!  Freezing!!!! It got sorted today though, turned out to be the switches that were loose and dodgy! So simple! Now we're over at Col's Mum's again, ready to load the car with some of my book boxes... Only they're heavy and we're both knackered! Don't know what to do!

 

Time for some emailage now! Smell you later!

We're coming home!!

We've booked our tickets now! Flying to Copenhagen on the 23rd of December, dagen fore dopparedagen, train gets into Kalmar at 14.53, hope Kullzenska still is open so we can meet for our annual 'fika' and natter! Emsen, I hear Ankis will be there too : ) Great!! Just hope it won't be too mad with millions of people around! Actually, it'll be pretty cool! Can't wait, so excited!!!! Staying until the 1st, got a train back at 9am!!!! No need for sleep! Emsen, how are the party plans coming along?? Still OK I hope!?! Haven't been home for NYE in years, will be soooo cool!!!! Can't wait to share Christmas with Col too, let's hope for lots of snow - don't think he knows what it really is!!! Oh oh oh!!!! This week is turning out great, found a couple of good jobs too, which I'm applying for... Oooh! And the move on Friday!!! We're just sooo excited!!! Bought a kettle today! Think when we're home we'll have to pick up some stuff too! If Karro isn't around, well, maybe I can nick some of her stuff! Heheh! I'm the bigger sister after all! Need to check Ebay now, have lost two sofabeds on there already! At least I helped push the price up a bit for them!

Don't you wish your boyfriend was hot like this?

Bonfire Night

Wooohoo! Not hungover! Hade lite av en hemsk kvall igar, behovdes val vara med tanke pa hur lyckliga vi var over lagenheten..! Yin Yang och allt det dar... Ialla fall, akte till Col's pappa vid 6 tiden, och gissa vem som var dar om inte Keith. Jag madde illa... Men, typiskt honom, verkar som han har haft ett personlighets change (det gar ju med hela det dar att han ar schitzo ju), och var pratsam och glad med Col. Jag bara lat dem va, sa lange vi inte behover oroa oss over att bli nerslagna nar vi traffar honom, sa ar det ju bara bra... Ehmm... Som tur var betyder ju inte detta att jag behover prata med honom eller umgas. Han kommer ju tex inte satta sin fot i mitt hus. Tror han satte pa denna lilla akten for pappan, maste ju suck up sa mycket som mojligt. Sa kanske behover vi inte fly huset varje gang han kommer.... Heheh... Jag drack en flaska vin pa en timme ungefar, och ingen mat... Blev lite rund under fotterna. Det var enda utvagen! Vi gock darifran nar det var dags for BBQ, jag hade namligen inget att ata alls (forrutom soppa och bakad potatis, inte det normala jag ater nar det ar BBQ direkt...) Nu kan alltsa familjen inte ens bry sig att ta fram na't alls till mig! Mysko...! Kandes ju inte alls konstigt... Som tur var var jag sa full att jag inte brydde mig, vi bara gick istallet. Col's pappa fragade varfor vi skulle ga, och Col sa att vi skulle hem och ata, kanske fattar de till nasta gang... Oh, nasta gang tar jag med mig egen mat tror jag.... Uuuuggghh! Efter Fredag tror jag inte jag behover se dem pa ett par manader ialla fall... Sorry, ranting again, jag har precis vaknat, lag och tankte pa det hela igar kvall, och kan bara inte get over it.... Sa beter man val sig bara inte????? I alla mina da'r som vegetarian!!!! Som tur var sa var Sam dar med sin kompis Lauren, och de var riktigt sota... Annars hade jag nog avlidigt! Sa, all in all var det en helt underbar kvall, ehm, med en helt underbar fullmane, sa vacker!!! Kallt sa in i bombens oxa, och nu e jag forkyld! Klarar verkligen inte av kallt vader.. Vet inte hur jag overlevde mer an 18 ar i Sverige!!!

Good news at last!!!!

We're moving in on Friday!!!!!!!!!! Wooooohooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good news no2:

We've decided to got to Sweden for both Christmas and New Year : ) We'll have Christmas at Dad's even though noone will be there, and we're planning on doing surprise visits to people! So be beware!!! (Emma, Dude, Johan..!)

 

Off to Bonfire/Fireworks night now (Guy Fawkes) should be lots of fun! Hopefully will come home with all limbs intact too!!

Todays rant...

we watched 5 episodes of Frasier today!!! My God! All inbetween de-fleaing the house : ) No more bites for us we hope! We also popped down to the leisure park and bought some tickets to Borat for Sunday night! Wooh! And we got a call from Josh, at last, he said he spoke to his manager about us getting the flat, and all he needs now is something to prove we live here... It's so hard to get a house in this country... You need a house to get a house! Damn them!! Hoping we'll be moving beginning of next week now.... Please! I'm busy shopping for sofabeds on Ebay so lots of people and come over and visit!!! Did I tell you Col changed the gear fluid for the van?? Well, the gears actually go in and out as they should! Amazing!!! Also, been doing some Microsoft Word testing, I thought I'd forgotten it all, but no! It's all there at the back of my mind, trying to get out! May still be hope for me..! Should be jobhunting like mad now, oh yes, we're ready for it!!! Speaking of which - very proud of Johan, he's got himself a new job, same kind of stuff as before, but he managed to get a very nice pay rise and also get the bonus he's due from his old job thrown in for good meassure! Congrats! (Col says we didn't actually see 5 episodes of Frasier, only half of two of them.... Still! Also been catching "Only in America" with Ferne and Reggie, they're soooo funny!!!! So what if it's for kids! Had a very cool night last night msn-ing with Ems, miss her sooooooooo much!!!! Not fair, she should come and visit more I think.... Oh, and noone is gonna be at my Dad's for Christmas - what ever will we do?!?!? Emma's Nan's is sounding very tempting!! She's just the sweetest lady too :) Think it runs in the family!

Contemplating coming home for NYE, but we just don't know!!! Need to have a good old think about it! Ryanair has some offers on at the moment too.... Ohhhh..... Oh, great news too, Sez&Co want to come to Sweden in the summer, so I'm thinking - massive Midsummer party, what do you think?!?!?!

 

My boy...

...has finally started his bloggage! Check it out!

November 1st

Col won Pinch Punch, pretended it was a cuddle he wanted and then he did it! I was barely awake! Unfair!

 

Had a pretty cool Halloween evening. Had lots and lots of little Trick or Treaters here! Went to Walkern and went round the village with Sam too, he did well, enough sweets for the year I think! Went to the graveyard too... Spooky or what?!?! It was a cold and dark night, as we came to the back of the church, the bell suddenly rung! Hahhah! Then a load of birds took flight! And so did we! Hahah!

 

Had some bad news yesterday too. Lydia's not too well... She's gonna go to Cornwall for a while now and hopefully get back on track.

 

Went to see Josh  the Estate agent this morning. Gave him some papers and stuff. Finally got my bank statement from Sweden (veeery quick!) but we still haven't received them from Barclays. No surprise there!! Josh did say that 'cos we've been abroad the last 6 months, there could be a problem, so we have to wait until he's spoken to head office..... Please please please!

 

After Whetstone we popped by Halfords to pick up some oil for the gearbox. Col thought it could do with a change; and as for as long as we've had it it's never been changed (and we've been pretty much everywhere!)... Turned out the bolt had rusted shut, but a little WD40 sorted that prob. So, it's all changed now and Col says the gears work wonderfully! Better than ever! Good news! Nothing can stop us now!

 

Oh, liten grej om Col's galne bror..! Han har lyckats salja sin bil nu, efter manga om och men.... Basta ar att efter att han salt den (de hade inte betalt eller hamtat den, men anda), well, han korde hela vagen till Cornwall och tebax... Typ 8 timmar var vag... Och lyckades kora in i en vagg eller na't!!! Vilket klant arsel! Det normala beteendet fortsatter som ni ser..!

 

It's bloody freezing here now! Gonna have some more tea I think! Oh, making meatballs for dinner tonight, heheheh, with boiled potatoes (as traditional as it comes) Just don't think anyone likes boiled pots...We'll have to see! Will be tasty with the sauce I'm sure! :)
