Anyway, we had 9 friends round for the morning...out playing with cars LOL :p Then we all went to watch Sharks Tale, really good, and saw all the trailers for the up and coming movies for Xmas.....sooo excited LOL. Then we all headed down to Hard Rock, where we had a bun fight, cream cake in the face etc.. A friend for a sleep-over, watching movies with pop-corn 'til VERY late. He was happy, hubby and I were....ready for a large wine :D How about yours? |

I had 3 older brothers and neither did they, mum & dad must have thought if they do it for one they would have to do it for all....they just couldn't afford it. I never complained, I always got a card and a pressie of some description :)

Re: Christmas....
Yeah I always miss home, the familiarity, family, snow, socks a fluffy slippers etc. I never get bored of going home to visit, I can't say that I want to move back there yet though but I would like to retire there. :)
Kristy....just so we know, what is JC like when he is "like a bear with a sore head" just so we can prepare LOL ;) |

Hi Novita I don't miss the UK as a whole, as I call myself a misplaced person and am in search of a base. Hoping that Dubai will give it to me. As I wasn't born in the UK and only moved there to be with my love, I have no real attachements. My best memories are from there and I miss my friends and some conveniences. The same goes for Switzerland, where I was born but never felt at home. I have never lived in my parents home country and therefore have nothing to miss there, despite loving to visit. I love the following saying but sadly, it doesn't work for me but it does for many: Never forget the homeland, where your cradle stood, you will never find again, another place you can call home. I hope it makes sense, as I translated it from German. Original version for those who speak German: Vergesse nie die Heimat, wo Deine Wiege stand, Du findest in ther Ferne, nie ein zweites Heimatland. Every country has something beautiful and difficult to offer. Each individual has to find out what suits their demands and dreams for a decent future best. As for Xmas, yes, my first time in the sun too. I used to miss snow in Switzerland when I was in the UK but I will not miss the rain and the fog from the UK. My parents and some of their friends will be over. Very excited about my dad coming as he is equally excited. My mum, thats a long story .... Just wish me luck! |

No, I am not kidding but having grown up in Switzerland it was pretty essential to learn as many languages as possible to have a good career chance. A good diploma isn't good enough, as people usually end up studying very hard in a small country and you just have to keep one step ahead. |

You can get BBC Prime from Sahmnet on Orbit but everything has its price and not sure it is really worth the extra, or get it for free per satelite like me. |
