I'm So Excited

There is a 99.99999% chance I'll be heading to Oz for a coule of weeks in March. I was asked to go by Liz who has designed stuff for a company based here that have started 'Baby Raves'. They have been doing them here for the last few years and are now selling it as a package to all sorts, all round UK and now Australia.
Liz is a single mother and is reluctant to go herself during term time and feels it's also too far to go, so she asked ME!. I tried to act cool about it, especially there's always something that comes up that scuppers the whole thing.

Not been having a lot of luck with work related things - people not willing to pay me for the work I've done; people ignoring my texts re invoices, others deciding after a load of discussion and prep not to employ me and do it inhouse as I won't do it for 50p an hour! - I'm starting to get a tad paranoid about my work and ideas.

Hopefully the tide will turn, I do have other stuff coming up that will see me through to xmas, so things aren't dire yet.

'Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts.'

OUR HOOSE !

THIS IS OUR HOUSE BACK AND FRONT AS OF LAST SATURDAY. THE FLOOR WERE LAID ON FRIDAY AND THE GARAGE FOUNDATIONS ARE GOING DOWN NEXT WEEK. HOPING THAT WE GET IN FOR THE END OF NOVEMBER BUT I'LL NOT HOLD MY BREATH.

WE SIGNED FOR IT IN APRIL AND I CAME TO REALISE VERY QUICKLY THAT THE EASIEST JOB IN THE UNIVERSE IS BEING AN ESTATE AGENT IN N. IRELAND THEY DO FECK ALL, AND GET PAID FOR IT - AMAZING. WOMAN ESTATE AGENTS TEND TO BE BOTTLE BLONDES AND FOUNDATION MONSTERS. THE LADS REJECTS FROM BOY BANDS OR EX INST BOYS WHO DIDN'T QUITE MANAGE TO PASS THE RIGHT EXAMS FOR ACCOUNTANCY. BUT THEN THEY'RE THE ONES MAKING ALL THE EASY MONEY.

OUR HOUSE IS IN BALLYHALBERT A VERY SMALL VILLAGE HALF WAY DOWN THE ARDS PENINSULA ON THE IRISH SEA SIDE AND THEREFORE THERE'S ALWAYS A HEALTHY WIND BLOWING.
APPARENTLY THERE WAS A PUB THERE ONCE BUT SOME DEVELOPERS SAW AN OPPORTUNITY AND TRANSFORMED IT INTO FLATS!!
BUT DO NOT FEAR THERE IS ALWAYS THE BOWLING CLUB AND THE PIGEON FANCIER CLUB. OR RATHER POPPING INTO ASDA ON THE WAY HOME - NOT SURE THERE'S AN OFFIE IN BALLYHALBERT EITHER. THERE MUST BE TO SERVE THE HOLIDAY MAKERS THAT DESCEND ONTO THE CARAVAN PARK EVERY CHANCE THEY GET. WELL WHEN WE DO MOVE THERE'LL BE ALL THAT CHANGING ADDRESS GETTING NEW BROADBAND PROVIDER BUYING A FREEVIEW IF WE CAN GET A SIGNAL - MOBILE PHONE PROVIDER HAS TO CHANGE TOO FOR THAT REASON. AND YET THE PANTO/XMAS SETS WILL STILL NEED TO BE PAINTEDAND THE PROPS MADE - YEEHAA ROLE ON DECEMBER.

Rapture!

I did it Nim you should be proud.I wasn't really sure what was going on I'm not very smart with the whole computer link blog thing. Right must go got a pile of black-light crap to make - it's crap now cos i still have to make iot - it will be fabulous when I'm done. Hopefully it'll look something like the Pragues Blacklight theatre stuff above
