Good morning!

Bloody cold isn't it?? Well maybe not for my friends on the ships, but for the rest of us in uk, it's bloody freezing!

I know it's been a while but so much has been going on. Obviously I've disembarked the ship and I'm back in the uk. I've been back for 2 weeks so far and it's felt so long but gone so quick. If that makes sense?

I've just done my jewellery training in Bristol and I'm now a qualified jewellery and watch specialist! Yay!!!
I've not learnt so much since school! My head is for to burst but it was worth it!

I'm currently on the train on my way to farnborough to see Claire and Hollie... Exciting! I can't imagine how big Hollie is now, she's growing up so fast!

I don't actually know what to write about, it just made sense to write while I was travelling, as this is when I tend to write most of my blogs.

When I say that I don't know what to write about there is actually a lot to say but a lot that I shouldn't say... I will just end up ranting about how some people have really shown their true colours and it hurts but I suppose it's life... See I'm getting dangerously close to a rant that and I need to stop. Ranting won't help me, only the person/ people in General can sort it.... I'm tired of making the first move.... And if this is how they repay years of friendship then frankly I don't want to know.... Again bordering onto a rant so I will just stop.

Anyway, apologies, I do have a lot to look forward too. I'm going to see Claire and Hollie today! This time in 4 hours I'll be in a nice warm house with a cuppa, a gossip and a little hyperactive girl.... Hahaha I can't wait. Plus Claire will let me rant.
Then I go home again and on Monday I'm going to see the beautiful Jessica!!!! Jess is my ship friend from my fort contract and she's seen the error of her ways and moved to the better side of the penines hahaha!!! And it's going to be st paddies day!!! Oh dear...! And I'll be seeing Sarah too!!! It's going to be a braemar reunion.... Sadly without my baby.... Oh I miss him so much!! I do talk to him as often as possible and if not talk we message on Facebook.... Love him to pieces....
It's a weird thing to say and I mean no offence to anyone but the happiness I have with Jerwin I've not had with anyone else... That puts a massive perspective on everything.... It's strange. I don't feel any insecurities at all with him, there's no mind games and he is the most caring loving man (apart from my dad) that I've ever met.

Enough of the soppiness! Anyway, after seeing Jess then I'm going to see Michael and Kt! Again it's been an age so I'm looking forward to a "civilised" meal with them! And then the weekend after it's the old trio back together... Me, Stacey and Gemma!!! God help the world!!!! Hahahaha!! I saw them recently and it was like old times, if not a bit cruder.... Stacey.... Gemma is the same old bubbly person.. Stacey has gotten a potty mouth now! Hahaha I love it!!
And amongst all this I will be seeing Robyn my sister from another mister now she's back from France!! Can't believe she left the country when she heard I wa coming back!! What does that say about me??

Anyway a lot to look forward to! And then on April 2nd I'm back to braemar but as a jeweller/ trainee manager! I'm doing well for myself aren't i??

Hahaha so much for having nothing to talk about eh?

We recently had a big family reunion in Gateshead... That was interesting. It was great to get the family together and meet distant cousins.... And the end of the night was even more eventful but I won't go into that hahaha! What happens in Gateshead stays in Gateshead!

I do miss the ship... It's like being institutionalised... I've spent so much time on the inside that it's hard to cope outside.... I'm knackered! I can barely stay awake!! But that's just life! I will cope, even if it means 8:30pm bed time (no joke, that was me for last 3 nights!!) boring Kim!!! But i dare say I won't be doing that tonight or tomorrow hahaha!!!

Looking forward to seeing my friends while I'm home. It's great seeing my family too. I was home for mums birthday which was great... And even though I still fight with my brothers we are closer than ever. I'm so lucky to have a close family like I do... I can't ask for better parents. They support me so much and I love them dearly.

Ok it's bordering onto an American talk show now so ill go.... Plus I'm near te next station!

Ciao Bella's!!
Be speaking to you soon!

Love Kim xxxxx
