Right, this'll be a test for the old brain..it's been a while, what have I been up to, mmm. I really should write stuff down. Ok, so Lizzie had just left and Mum and John were coming out, that's where we?d got to. So yes, it was lovely to see Mum and John after so long, they stayed for 2 weeks. They were both glowing when we met them at the airport even thought the flight hadn't been that comfortable- the Neath air must be doing them some good. Af...

Updates, updates! Sorry it's been a while, you probably think I've not been doing anything exciting to write about- quite the opposite; I've just not had the time to sit down and write a proper entry!! Christmas and New Year were fun; my first spent out of the U.K. Everything is celebrated in much the same way here in Canada as is done back at home, (especially when you spend it with a British family- doh!).

I'm going to see if I can pinch a sle...

The job is proving to be quite good fun. The store (of the future..owww!) is finally open and we've even sold some stuff! I'm working with 3 other guys, Jack, Russell and Greg who are all good fun to be around, especially when we're having a quiet moment. As our store is a dealer store, we don't work by commission but by store targets so everyone is very supportive of each other, especially as we're getting to grips with how things work. This ...
