Back Waters

For such a small country we have an astonishingly different attitude and way of doing things in different parts of the country. Back home if I had booked the wedding they would be asking for payment asap but here I have tried to settle balances but they wont accept my money. I don't quite understand how someone can run a business like that but they obviously do!

work has been tough, I have been covering my colleague for 7 weeks now, I am making him money but failing to make any for myself and it is getting demoralising when I know that its the base I work not my abilities that hold me back.

The car insurance people have failed for yet another week. Again we are told to expect the cheque in the post and again we wait struggling to pay things like council tax in the meantime.

Going to Mum and Dad's next weekend, we have friday saturday and sunday off and I haven't seen them since the begining of January just after my hospital trip.

Redecorated the bathroom, just need to refit the taps, and change a couple of things like the toilet seat then that's one more room complete. All that's left is the three bedrooms and hanging some doors then we are done and ready to have a couple of holidays whilst applying to adopt.

So where in the world would I like to go? Tom and I discuss this almost daily but he seems non committal on anywhere that's not 5*. I know he wants to make sure I stay well but we only live once and I am willing to risk things if it means I can see some of the world.
