This was a yummy chocolate cake that we won on Valatines eve.

Tickets will be here tomorrow. Whoopi!!
Actually getting nausiusly panically excitedly sh***** myself.
Went on the Singapore web-site to see our hotel and what we have planned for the 5 days of our stay. We are going to see pink dolphins and go to the zoo at night, go on a boat cruise, visit China town have coffee at Raffles. So excited. That should keep us on a high until we start our new life. I visited Mum today and gave her a crash course on the computer and how to send e-mails (bless) she's doing really well, set the web cam up for her so its all system go.

Well we have somewhere to live 8 weeks in a rented accomodation untill our furniture reaches Orewa (hopefully safe and not floating waiting to sink) whilst we are there we shall look for somewhere long term. Still not sold the house yet.

This is Peter, who arranged our party. Thanks Pete, great night !!!!

Well so much for not having a party and slipping quietly away, NO WAY!!
Peter has arranged for us to have a PARTY! Food, music the works. Mind you I'm coming, round to the idea now. Sounds like its gonna be good one, now I cant wait well I can in a way cos it means it would literally be the following week when we shall be going. I have packed all our cases, caught up on all washing including things that's being taken in the container. Hopefully do lots more this week as its half term and I'm off. Well will write more when there is more news.

Mark, Me, peter and Mandy at the Marie Curie Ball

Mandy & I went to a Marie Curie Charity mask Ball at St.Ives. What a fantastic evening I think we got to bed around 3.30 that morning. Mark put in a bid for a guitar and won, so everyone at home wants to learn to play now.

Well today I have handed my notice in, a month today but I'm having half term off, so three weeks left. Gosh I shall be unemployed. My brother in-law called and we have arranged for 11 of us to go bowling down Porth in the half term and have something to eat. This Friday Mark & I have been invited to Tregenna Castle for Marie Curie Charity/Valatine ball evening. Our weekends are filling up with saying our goodbyes. I have sorted us out somewhere to live for eight weeks fully furnished, which then will hopefully give us time to look for somewhere long term.

We're on our way

Well the flights are now booked and we 're leaving 12th March, stopping off at Singapore and getting to Auckland on the 19th. OMG! Still have no where to live but what the heck!! Bishops the removal men are coming the 4 5 6 7th March so we will have to rely on takeaways or nice friends, eh Jeanie G! Feeling myself getting stressed, wot with work and trying to pack and organise things and helping my buddy Jean to set up a web page that is proving more dificult as time goes by. She has started a balloon business, and today I helped her dress a chocolate shop window up ( I know I could be packing) seeing as its Valatine Day soon. It was fun and we had a laugh, think i shall go round there tonight and open a bottle with her, shall miss you, you ole bugga!
We had Pete & Mandy and the children stay last weekend Pete said he would do us a curry and bring it over to us later on, so Mandy & I fed the children and opened a bottle of vino at the same time. By the time Pete came at 7.30 we were on our second bottle, (this brings back memorys) hastily adding without the curry, he forgot! So we ordered a chinese and went out for a drink locally, by the time we got it and returned home, I didnt feel like eating and i was a lillte worse for wear.
