Oh hello! I cannot believe I missed posting through the whole of November. I have been prodigiously slack at blogging since I started my job and I am feeling slightly ashamed of myself.

So…thank you so much for bothering to read this very first post of December; I will definitely be posting this month. Promise. Ooh and I better update that banner too….

What’s been happening…let’s do bullet points shall we? Bullet points are easy…

• New job – is really great! I’m (almost) my own boss, doing all the admin and accounts stuff from whoa to go. My office mate is a lovely lady whom I get on really well with and the company is a family run business that has been round for years and is very generous to its staff. All in all completely the opposite to my old job. Yay!
• Birthday – I turned double 21 on the 22nd and after much negotiating I got myself an iPhone! It’s a second hand iPhone 3 (still not cheap and iPhone 4’s are double the price) but it is so, so much fun. The app store on iTunes is my new favourite internet haunt and I am slowly becoming an expert at Fruit Ninja.
• Lounge – finally, finally the curtains arrived and the Other Harf will be putting them up this weekend – and I will be moving us in! Only two and a half years after we moved out. There are lots of empty walls to decorate and I really want a gorgeous gilt-framed mirror to go above the fireplace…better get shopping – now we can afford it.
• Derby – is winding down for the year – it will be our last serious training session tonight and next weekend we will be participating in the local Christmas parade (crossing fingers I don’t arse over in front of a crowd of hundreds). I have made some amazing friends, and pushed myself far beyond what I thought my physical and mental limits were – what an awesome sport!
• Garden – summer vegetable patch is in and it’s the usual suspects: lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, radishes and sweetcorn nom nom nom!
• Miss 11.2 – growing at a rapid rate of knots. I swear she has grown about three inches in the last three weeks! It’s school prize-giving next week and she has high hopes of getting the class trophy for best all-rounder. Last year her father promised her $250.00 if she did so I am sure she has been trying very, very hard indeed.

So that’s November in a nutshell. December, I cannot believe you are here already.
