    Right so ......had a good week. Have pretty much finished my work for this year, all nice and tidy, all went well, lots of happy tenants. Paperwork to sort on Monday and Tuesday.

    Works Christmas do last night. Spent a fiver on the bus and NOTHING ON DRINK ;)
    Seriously I know some of you might not believe me. Had an aperatif and two glasses of wine (bottle bought by boss). That was it!

    Today I have booked a place at a New Years Eve party in San Francisco. Won't it be ironic if I go all the way to San Francisco and it is as crap as your usual NYE parties! Anyway it was half price $13 so if I decide to do something else it won't be a huge loss and if I decide to go it will be a 50% save :T
    You can take the girl to San Francisco but you can't take the money saving out of the girl!

    Flying on Wednesday and going to the cinema that evening. Have told my sister in law to prod me if I start snoring!

    Alcatraz to book today.
    Keys to get altered tomorrow so I can give one to the neighbour.
    Guide books from the library have been sorted :T
    Plumber to come round and look at my radiator leak.
    Packing to do tomorrow along with Boot Camp which is likely to be more like a personal training session :j:j:j:j:j:j

    All seems to be going smoothly!

    Thank you Beanie.
    I have one ear full of wax and another that is just painful so I wasn't really in the mood for a session.

    Ears still blocked.:(
    Radiator still dripping :(
    Plumber not in :eek:

    So most important thing to remember tomorrow is to have a word with next door neighbour about using her plumber if mine has gone awol.
    Equally important is that you all pray my ears get unblocked tomorrow. So sick of only hearing the start of a conversation.

    Right off to change a few light bulbs and check my to - do list.

    Went to see the diabetic nurse on Tuesday who syringed my ears, successfully on the right and not quite as good on the left. Still oiling the ear.

    Here safely and all going well. Quite relaxed.
