DreamerHelen's New Diary - "Ad Astra per Aspera"

Hey shovel lad, it was the queen elizabeth, heading for reykjavik , saw her blue bottom once she got closer. We use the ship ais site to identify the shipping, there is an awful lot of it passes by here.

Quite fancy a trip to Norway since our islands were once part of Norway ... However, my nephew is there just now and says that beer is £12 + for a pint ... So maybe it will be a sober trip !

Have you done a few cruises then ?

DreamerHelen

Morning People....

Well I agree with you Mara...I DO need some sleep....so I think the amount of hours that I was scheduling was just NOT realistic....But I've had a decent sleep now so I feel much better for it....

Morning Shovel Lad...hope you're well....

Pesto...I agree, that amount was too much to hope for I think....It would have been lovely but just too much to hope for....Still, if I can get to between £550 and £600 this Week I'll be ecstatically happy!!

So, starting Work now....going to work until just before 3pm when I'm expecting my Tesco Delivery...Let's hope it's on time this Week!!

Still feeling really positive...and I know I can get there this Weekend....xXx

Oh, I have done the Norway fjords cruise, and it is absolutely wonderful. The scenery is breathtaking. Spent seven days cruising the fjords a few years ago - pre-children mind!

DreamerHelen

It is one of my Dreams to go and see Orca's in the Wild....and I think you can do that in Norway if I'm right....So a Cruise would be amazing...

But I keep thinking of the Titanic...I know things are different these days but its still scary for me...especially as I'm frightened of Water....

We do get Orcas around here sometimes, i havent seen them yet, but have seen porpoises and dolphins quite a few times off the ferry to the mainland.
Seals are two a penny and can be seen and heard any day. Its quite spooky when they start singing in the late evenings.
We used to live near a graveyard by a beach, had friends up staying and one night, it was a bit misty and very quiet, the lass heard the seals and wouldnt go to sleep for thinking it was ghosts in the graveyard !
It is a fairly eerie sound if u dont know what it is. As kids we would go to the beach and sing to the seals, they were curious animals and would always come in close to look at us.
I suppose we just took it for granted tho, so used to it.

Wow Mara...that sounds truly amazing....I would love to live around so much Wildlife....Where you live sounds incredible....

Well, it's VERY quiet this morning on the Lines....I would really really like to get to £400 for the Week so far....if I get that then it would be great....but we'll see...I can't make people Call me!!

I'm up to just over 80 Texts so far...that's just since Wednesday....another 45 and i've got my first Tenner...YAY!!! And I've got until 4th August before the Cut Off Date for Texts...so plenty of time to get some more!!

Feeling pretty darn good today....Although this Weather is still killing me!!

Hey Hun....Thanks for looking in on me....I'm on £398 and some change so far....And I've got about half an hour to go before I have to Log Off for my Tesco Delivery...so I reckon I'll make it...

I'm nearly up to the 125 for my Texts....about another 15 to go before I get there....And then that will be another tenner in my Wage Packet after the 4th August....

Oooooh a BBQ sounds like fun!! What is your favourite thing to eat at a BBQ? I love the Burgers.....and the Chicken Legs...Yum Yum....Now I'm getting hungry

Hi Helen, you are doing great. The texts are really adding up for you which is great.

Well, just got back from a birthday party. Great fun actually. The weather is quite a lot cooler so much more pleasant - though it pains me to say it as I love the hot weather! Lazy afternoon for me - apart from the usual housework/dinner. Feeling really tired so might even have half-an-hours sleep on the bed...

Hey Hun...Thank you, I feel like I'm doing great as well....It feels like quite an achievement this Week!! Although still got about 30 hours to go before I'm done for this Week....and then I start all over again with next Week!!

Right....I made it to just over £400....So I've logged off cause I'm absolutely paranoid that my Delivery will come early and then I'll be in trouble cause I can't just hang up on a Caller and equally I can't ask him to hold while I get my Shopping delivered!! So I've logged off now....Hopefully my Shopping will come on time this Week....that way I can start back on the Lines sooner rather than later!!

Glad to hear you're having a relaxing day Pesto hun....Take it easy....Go and have a siesta...that sounds like fun!!

I'm going to Switch off my Computer shortly...so I'll see you all somewhere between 4pm and 5pm depending on when the Shopping comes and when I've had something to eat...

See you all later on xXx
