G'day you great gallahs!!

So how is life with you all? Things here still going brilliant, last week was all quite hectic, Rod and Zara are having a 'temporary split' (that old chestnut) so Zara flew back to Ireland on Wednesday for a few months, which i was quite gutted about, especially as no free nail art anymore!!  Alex had decided to move out and go and live with Rod so was all a bit of a nightmare trying to get everything organised but after all plans set he decided yesterday that he is going to stay here afterall - boys eh!!!!

On saturday i decided to go on a little walk (now when i say little, i mean in comparison to the great Wall of China) went exploring round Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Paddington, Wooluhra, Centennial Park, Fox Studios, Moore Park, Sydney Cricket Ground and the Aussie Stadium, and lordy lord did my little feeties hurt by the time i got home! Was a good day though especially as have now got through about half of the 'Rough guides' tour of Sydney!!!

On Sunday we had planned to get up early but after having a cuppa and a slice of toast decided it was far too active for a Sunday so went back to bed and got up at 3pm!!! Went to a car show (yer i know like really!) at the Olympic stadium early evening and saw lots of boy racers and fancy cars, obviously they have nothing on my old beaut of a Renault 5 but not everyone can be that lucky Do miss my little car i must say, hate chuffing buses!!! Had a cracking argument with a bus driver today, first time i have got angry in 7 weeks which is pretty good going i reckon!! Anyway he was thinking he was god just because he drives a bus so i gave him some 'yer whatever mate, get over yourself' lip and he ended up apologising and letting me have my little bus ride home for free - CJ 1, scummy bus driver 0

Was well chuffed today as received marmite in the post from mummy.....hmmmm marmite on toast.....yum!! Just need mum to send me a bath now and i'll be all sorted - funny what you miss.....and what you don't!!!!!!

Last night was the first time i went out on a 'school night' and lord did i suffer for it today. Went out for what was supposedly a quick drink with Sarah, Rod and Alex. When i looked at the clock and it was gone midnight and i was the other side of Sydney to home, decided i had better get those feet into action so trotted home and got back about 1. However, Alex managed to get back not long after me so we ended up chatting (well i just giggled and fell over rather a lot) so ended up having 3 hours sleep last night!

Woke up and grabbed water and paracetamol before my head exploded and made my merry way to work. Told everyone (big mistake!) that i had been out so one of the chefs - Enrique - decided to constantly bang doors and saucepans in my face when ever i walked past - cracking!!! Anyway i survived the day and even managed to drag my sorry butt to aqua aerobics so am feeling very proud!! I dread to think what this week will bring.......

Glad to hear it rained for bank holiday - hee hee, although am not SO smug anymore as had to wear a little jumper to work today...not liking that one bit....roll on the summer!! Thanks to everyone for your emails and sorry to those of you i haven't got round to replying to yet - i will do soon i promise

Hope you are all ok, take care, loads of love Ceej xxxxx
