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!
