New Year !

The New year was really fun. Although I had a chest infection and was quite sick I managed to make it out to see the fireworks by the London Eye. We had a great time, there were people everywhere and the atmosphere was cool. Ive always wanted to come up to London to see them so it was a great way to bring in 2009.

I have great hopes for this year. Already we have planned some trips! We cant live without having something to enjoy and memories to make.

Happy 09! xxx

Mums Birthday Treat

For a special birthday treat for mum we organised a trip to Gaucho Picadilly for dinner before we saw Joseph and his amazing technicolour dreamcoat. The restaurant was so cool, it had such a great atmosphere. The mood lighting was really dark so you could barely see the food. Its an argentine steak restaurant which serves the best meat in London. Its not for any veggies! We had a great time chatting and catching up with everyone.




We then strolled through trafalgar sq to get to the strand where the theatre is. Joseph was such a great show, I was singing along and enjoyed every minute!

Halloween in Holloway

Last weekend we spent dressing up and having fun at our flat. I dressed up as a Gothic bride and Ry decided to be a psycho with a weird crazy wig . It was so much fun!

A Snow Angel

Today we had some snow! Its quite wet out now so I don't think we will be lucky enough to have it settle. We hardly ever have snow in England so this is crazy! Ry and I enjoyed it so much I had to whip the camera out to make sure we have a record of it - Ry of course provided extra entertainment!

Lonely in London

Today was really stressful with the markets how they are and we are all working crazy hours. I worked late, had to buy dinner and came home to an empty dark flat. It was so lonely walking through the tube, there were no smiley faces no one to say hello to. This place is really hard sometimes...
I know I need to appreciate the good things about living here but sometimes its just so hard to.

Wee Scotland

This weekend we flew to Endinburgh for Ryan's birthday trip from me. We arrived about midnight and had the task of getting to our tiny little rental car and drove to our hotel for our only night in the city. Our hotel was dodgy and I didn't really want to take my jacket off! It was freezing. The only good thing was that we woke up and got out of there about 8am!

We decided to drive to Loch Ness, it was awesome. We drove through Glencoe which was completely breathtaking, we stopped a number of times and saw so much natural beauty. It was great for us to get out of the city and breathe in some fresh air. I loved Loch Ness the best as we walked around Urquhart Castle. Scotland was so beautiful, I enjoyed the trip so much its close to England but felt like a completely different world.

Jacqui update...

Last weekend I went home to see my friends and family. Was so much fun to meet my friend Natalie's baby Finley, he was gorgeous and was great to see her and Lindsey too. We had a great meal at our favourite southend restaurant the Pipe of Port. We had chicken and Chestnut Pie! yummy! I also caught up on all the gossip with Becky and Kirby, so much always seems to happen. It was really nice to be back in my real home :)

Im kind of into Big Brother at the moment, its super addictive and Ry even likes it too. i think thats because we live in the city and all we seem to do is work, watch big brother, sleep, work, watch big brother.... Hahah it sounds depressing and it has been a little bit recently the weather has been awful. I don't even remember the last time i sunbathed. Sunbathing is a passion of mine so im understandably extremely jealous of Joey and Dans up and coming trip! They get married then go travelling the world for 5 months. In a flash they will make my trips look minimal this year. They leave tomorrow from Heathrow so are staying over at ours tonight. First stop is LA, then Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, China, and Thailand. Im so green with envy right now... :( I dont want to work everyday knowing all the amazing memories they are going to be making.

I dont really have more of an update than that! Apart from I have a really good new mascara, but me getting excited about that seems a bit lame...
Im missing out on buying so many clothes since we moved in I have so much less money. Living in the real world just isnt too much fun.

Ry and I are taking our Mums to Paris!


Ry and Nancy














Nancy is visiting us from Utah for the week so we decided it would be really fun to go to Paris and spend some time together. I know they have both wanted to go and as neither have been it will be even better. We've booked the hotel and the Eurostar so we are all set :)

My poor hand

Thursday night I went out for some drinks after work with some work friends. I had a great night, although I managed to hurt my poor hand. I was wearing high wedge platform heels, which didnt help! i fell over a small wall literally a few feet from our apartment. I didnt feel the pain for a few hours, i was then screaming at Ry telling him it was broken! a bit dramatic but i couldnt help it! I was at work and saw the nurse on friday morning, i was thinking she would just strap it up, but no she told me to go to hospital! i spent 4 hours in there had an x ray and now have my wrist in a splint. I have to wear this for 10 days. I can only type one handed which is a pain! I have to go to the fracture unit a week on monday to check it out again. I feel a bit stupid, and it still hurts. It makes me feel blessed to have such great health, ive noticed just how hard it is to do anything one handed.

im wearing flat shoes from now on! :)
