Resolution time

Happy New Year readers!

Its been a while (as ever!) but one of my new year resolutions is to keep my blog updated more regularly. Other resolutions are to stop whinging so much and to get my ass in gear and find a way to earn a bit more money.

So what have I been up to since November 6th? Well I had my viva on November 11th and passed!!!! It was a terrifying but fabulous day and the feeling when they told me I'd passed and that they actually thought it was good work and I should be proud of myself was amazing. It made all the misery worthwhile. Since then I've handed in the corrections they gave me and I'm just waiting to find out if they're happy for me to print out the final copy and hand it in.

In December we went to Plas Newydd on Anglesey for a Christmas fair and a lovely wander around the grounds. Wish I'd taken my camera for that one because the view was fantastic but we're planning a return journey when the weather picks up so I'll get some photies then.

On my birthday we had a nice lunch at Blue Sky cafe in Bangor and a wander round the second hand bookshops. In the evening we went to Sian and Laurie's house for a Mulled Wine and Mince Pies evening. There was even a birthday cake for me which was fantastic and very yummy :) The boys got way too competitive over a game of beach cricket on the Wii and a good time was had by all.

I'll continue my rundown of festive activities in the next post (when I have my camera to hand and can put piccies on).
