    We did the dolphin spotting from Gibralter was great.

    I love photos as well while we are talking about them. I have always been getting photos out since I was little driving my Mum and Dad mad as i used to mess them all up. They have got me a new camera for my birthday which I am getting tomorrow. I am excited as the one I have now hardly ever works. It did manage it through 3 drunken years at uni though getting thrown around so it did good.

    Oh, I love photos too! :T I take thousands :o my OH will tell you this isn't an exaggeration, thank goodness for digital! :rotfl: When I get back and we know which house we're living in, one of my main aims is to put up lots of photos :j

    Haha, yes I am trying to organise a wedding from Nepal, along with possibly buying a new house and applying for jobs! That and the small matter of actually doing some voluntary work here, learning Nepali and Tibetan and checking out some Buddhist classes at uni. And a little bit of sightseeing when I get the chance! :rotfl:

    Poddle, my life does sound pretty dreamy and I'm very grateful for it - all this comes at the end of 4 long years battling serious illness so I have an even better perspective to appreciate life from. The proposal was pretty amazing - OH knows I've always wanted to [STRIKE]climb[/STRIKE] get close to Everest... bless him :smileyhea

    Yes, can't explain the Scotland thing either, guess I just like getting blown about on big hills a lot :D

    He he Dinah has been in Edinburgh! Just got back. Had a lovely weekend, but boy it was wet and chilly! We had a great time, saw penguins and I nearly decked a freak in the Edinburgh Dungeons, but my head is buzzing with plans now for moneymaking/savings etc which I will try to put down on paper (well, thread) tomorrow.

    I think photos are incredably important Bails, all my friends really treasure theirs, and to me its the second most important thing, after the venue. Have pretty much decided on mine.

    Think I'm quitting ciao once I reach £5, I get more per rate on dooyoo than ciao, so for the amount of time I might as well just focus on there?!

    Went for a driveby of the house we're viewing tomorrow tonight, neighbourhood is very quiet, 9 out of the 10 houses on the row are in good nick, but we'd have to get a serious discount for it to be worth while given all the work that needs doing I think.

    Glad you had a fab time in Edinburgh Dinah - what did you get up to?

    Discovered I made a giant mistake in work today, I ordered the wrong base plate to be hand painted for this swanky restaurant. ****Eeek**** The restaurant will still take them albeit with a discount, but if they had refused the whole lot it would have been terrible. Feeling like a bit of an idiot.

    Got a second house viewing tomorrow though!

    Good luck with the second viewing. I'm gonna be in trouble at work tomorrow too - accidentally forgot to put up two notices, and they were about 5 days late when my boss found them, I genuinely thought they had to be done for last friday not the one before but clearly I was wrong :(
