01/17/2006: "My birthday party & England"

music: BBC One - Watchdog
mood: Very, very good

Hi everyone,

Yes, it has been a while but sometimes I just don't feel like writing. Now I do though, as I finally have got something nice to tell!

I've had my birthday the 14th of January, last Saturday, and it was so great! I loved seeing my friends again and in the end we made it 2:30 at night. Then Martine & Jan left and also Phil and we went home. My colleagues were there too and a lot more people too! It was just great, having fun, chatting etc.
Even though sometimes it was difficult to chat with everyone, especially in the beginning of the evening as there were so many people at the same time.
It seemed everyone enjoyed themself and so did I and Angela...it was just great.

Anyway...something else exciting: I booked a flight to the UK for both Angela and me. People (especial my Aunt Annie) were so generous that we can just afford a short break to Newbury. The place we have lived at for 10 months (me) and 14 months (Angela). Last time we went there was 3.5 years ago and I am so homesick to the place, so I really really really wanted to have a trip there as my 30th birthday present!
And yep: it worked. Even though we don't have a lot of money to spent there (during 5 days) I can't care less! I am just looking forward to seeing our friends again, walking around in Newbury town centre, maybe see some of my ex-colleagues...

Also a really big thanks to Phil's mum. She told us we can stay at her place during those 5 days. Without this help we would never have been able to do this. So thanks Phil's mum!!

Only an other 5 weeks to go and counting!

Hugs, Jacqueline
