Can’t believe this is my first post of the year – welcome to 2019!
January as usual has been a pretty slow month all round with work and life which is why I’ve been so quiet I guess. Sat on the train to Birmingham right now without internet so typing this up made sense! The main thing to comment on really is that I have joined a gym, yep, you heard me right!
Natasha’s gym at the Holiday Inn closed down so they were re-directed to the Jury Inn at the top of our road and we got a joint membership, I’ve been a number of times now and I think it’s helping me, no obvious signs of improvement to be honest but I quite enjoy going up there and it’s making me a little more conscious of what I am eating, hopefully in a few weeks time I will be a bit more toned…we shall see!
Xmas and New Year has come and gone once more and now we’re planning for the year(s) ahead. So we have the following lined up:
- Marrakesh with John and Pauline
- Italy with Gareth and Nikki
- Crete – just our family
- Dubai – just our family
The Dubai one is a secret! I feel guilty that we haven’t included Mum this time but it was a case that the cost went up substantially per person, very odd so we had to make a decision because money is a bit tight, I don’t have too much work on my plate so I am a bit anxious about commitments.
In saying that, Tash is wanting to plan for her 50th which is next year…!
We’ve got other things lined up as well including Victoria’s wedding, Tears for Fears concert, FatBoySlim concert and Pete Tong Ibiza Classics concert (Manchester – December) – should be great fun, can’t wait! And we will still try and get tickets for Glastonbury when they’re released again in April.
So that’s a recap, Jack’s football is hard work, he’s broken into the first team at Abingdon Utd but they don’t seem to trust him enough to play him regularly so he’s getting frustrated. He’s had two unconditional offers from Universities even though he says he doesn’t want to go at all and I think he’s very distracted and not working hard enough on A-Level revision, so that’s causing a lot of friction in the house!
Charlotte was home most of January because of term time but she’s back at Uni now in her last term!
Lewis is working hard with his job, under-staffed it seems, don’t hear much from him which is a shame.
They all keep in touch better with Mum and not me, I need to be more pushy and involved though so it works both ways
Oh, and finally, Donald Trump is still President in the US and is an utter fuckwit, I really don’t know how he’s accepted there for so long, it really is a concern!
