So.... our new year's eve was so boring that I won't even mention it - however we have made a pact that this year we are actually going to get off our arses and do something on new year's eve. which is something we don't normally manage. We are hoping to go to Sydney to see the amazing fireworks, and hopefully get a harbour view suite like we did on our honeymoon in order to maximise the experience! Costs may prohibit as always, but we are always so boring on NYE that we want to do something a bit different this year.I have started my new job.... it is going OK. I think there is going to be a bit of a learning curve in terms of some of the... personalities I will be working with, but it should be OK. Flextime for anything worked over 36.25 hours a week should make up for this I reckon. At least it is not the previous hell employers.
We've not done anything very exciting yet - money's too tight to mention with the gap in my paydays from changing jobs, and christmas and new year, so we're eating a lot of pasta and baked beans. The most exciting news is probably the expansion to the Robinson family..... please welcome wee 
Margot! I just couldn't resist her - she kept shimmying under the door of the pen at the RSPCA and running up to me and climbing up my leg. She clearly wanted to come home with us. She is a little wee poppet, and is getting on pretty well with Jerry. She has been poorly this week and had to go to hospital, but she is all better now.
