Yo s'up peeps

Well I'm sitting here next to my lovely hubster and thought we'd write a blog to tell you whats been happening of recent. WE'VE DONE IT !!!! WE'VE EMPTIED THE LOFT FINALLY !!!!!!! It's all piled in the la'al room at the moment, waiting to be sorted. We've been looking into booking a hotel in Sydney for 3 nights, for when we land. Just so we can get our bearings and see what we want to do next. Going to use some of the wedding money we've been given .... so thanks for that folks !!

The tent was a great success as Ben pointed out. Can't wait to get out in it again.

Bens just ordered some clothes to take away with him, there was nowt for me unfortunately !! I'll be using my last week at work to do some Ebay shopping. Oh yeah, I agreed to stay on at work an extra week...... BOOOOOOOOO.

We've been working as per. Ben was working a full 24 hours from saturday morning til sunday morning, it was wierd us both getting up for 5am. We're having pizza to celebrate and maybe pop into The Bell for a swift pint on the way home from this ????? (Ben here.... "YES!")

Well nowt else to say cos we've got a pub to get to now !! .......

TTFN ...... xx (Ben here..... "bye")

New Tent + Rain = We stayed dry !!

Hello Bloggers,

it's Ben here. We've just got back from our weekend of camping in the Lake District with the Blackwell crew. Good news, it rained and the inside of the tent stayed dry! Wahooo!
I know you should really expect this from any tent but for some reason, we just wanted to make sure..... before carting it halfway around the planet!

Had a fantastic time up t' north. It's probably the last time for a while. We said our goodbye's to those not coming stateside with us.

It's weird to think that the next time we see Claire's Mam and Dad we'll be in Florida! I can't wait for the moment we all meet up together at the Airport. We're both getting really excited now!

The camping was excellent, really nice having all the kids there, had a BBQ (obviously!), camp fires, a few (too many) drinks, paddled down by Pooley Bridge. Didn't want to come home, back to work now, boo!

It's now time to sort out our stuff. We desperately need to get up in the loft and start sorting, we've been successfully putting it off for weeks, think it's about time we made a start!

Anyone want a red and white Mini Cooper? What about some sofas?

Any way, I'd better get back to doing some work.

Ta ra for now,

laters

Ben (a.k.a Shaggy......very funny Geoff!)
