24 weeks until we go!

Hi Everyone,

Feels like I haven't wrote for ages, I've been so busy with both works, I'm still working very hard at the Post Office especially with the run up to Christmas...believe it or not if you want to send your mail by surface mail To USA or Canada you've missed it!! Can't believe every things coming around so fast! Also the threat of strikes is a nightmare!

Also Party Animal Online is still doing well and is becoming increasingly challenging to juggle along side my other job. We have just set up an online ebay shop is very much like our other online shop with similar prices but just not as many products listed at the moment.

Less of work, Travelling! 171 DAYS....25 WEEKS!!! I can't wait, we have bought a world map and put all our pins in the places we've already been so it's really interesting to see who's done what already! Also we're paying off even more off our flights at the end of this week which is awesome news AND Daniel got over-time this week so extra money in the pot!

Sorry about this really shitty unorganized blog, it's rushed as Daniels just got back from doing the week shop so I need to go and help him unpack it all!

I will tell you more soon :) x

Channel 4 for the boys!

Amazing Daniel and Chris had a great time down in London working in Damien Hirsts Exhibition...so so proud. I went and bought 10 papers the next day and searched out the links of them...I'm so sad!

This is the video of them on Channel Four! They're the twins!

Also Daniel and I had a fantastic time in Dublin, we walked miles and drank as much as we could at £6 a pint so you can imagine our money didn't go very far! It was nice to get away though and have that taster of us travelling together for the first time.

181 DAYS untill we go...26 WEEKS!

We are moving back into dads at the end of this weekend so that's going to be nice to be warm and have the cats around us and before we know it we'll be in March!

Take care everyone!

I bet you wished you had a pet peacock!

Hi All,

There's has been a new addition to our roof garden...yes a Peacock of all things (Even though I thought they lived in lavish areas of big green fields of rich country manors) Well apparently they live in little St.Annes as well. These are pictures taken of my grans roof top garden....you can imagine what my cats must of thought. Although I think even for them, catching and eating a bird of that size is far much to like "HARD WORK" instead staring uneasily at it seemed to please them enough!

Other news is we're going on a good old last minute dash to Dublin next weekend! Can't wait, I've never been but I do hope it's like the stereotypical image I imagine of Irish bands playing live in the corner of some little over-crowded bars while everyone merrily dances around drinking Guinness and Jameson's....that would be awesome...I would also like it very much if only one person says "Top of the morning to ya". Daniel and I are booked in a little place just walking distance from Temple bar and can't wait to see something other than St.Annes....here's hoping!

Hope your all great! I know I am!

Halloween

Hi Guys!

Hope everyone's good, I'm shattered I worked a 14 hour shift yesterday at Party Animal in hope to get some of the Halloween fancy dress and decorations on the Internet and ready to go and still feel like I have barely touched the never-ending supply that Party Animal offers!

I've got to say I love Halloween though, not only is it around my Birthday but as a kid I always use to have Halloween parties, which were always great fun and of course having a party shop in the family meant that I had my pick of the spooky decorations on offer!

This Halloween however I am going to Brighton to see a couple of my favourite people Ellie and Chris and of course Daniel and Chrissfer have got the Damien Hirst exhibition to attend and take part in so it should be an extra special birthday and Halloween.

I wonder what it will be like spending Halloween in a hot country when we're travelling next year? At that point in our trip we will be in Indonesia possibly on some little islands just off the cost of Bali.... Talking about ravelling there's 209 DAYS TO GO! It's really sneaking up fast now! Woooooo culture here we come!

Finished Tattoo!

Amazing I've had my tattoo finally finished and I think it's incredible (even if I do say so myself) I'm going to wait until it's fully healed before I put any pictures up, so hold tight!

Travelling news..... 216 Days until we're on our merry way and I can't wait. We went to the Doctors the other day about the jabs and we've managed to get our Malaria tablets free on the NHS which is unexpected and will save us around £700 for the year! We have our Hepatitis jab in September and not sure about the others yet. All this brings the trip so much closer it feels less like a dream and more of reality now :)

Mum's coming to stay this weekend so looking forward to seeing her millions, she's not seen my new tattoo yet so really looking forward to seeing what she thinks of it. Also I'm still working hard on the Party Animal Site but I have to say things do seem a little quiet at the minute. We've been having some problems with the online checkout and are having to get online customers to pay over the phone which is a bit of a nightmare but if all goes well Mum's going to start writing a completely new site which will be great.

Take care everyone :)

Morning..

Morning,

Another great weekend. On Friday Daniel and I had a quiet night in and watched a film called Powder Blue, surprisingly very good and worth a watch. On Saturday we walked to Lytham and sat outside the Queens on the green with some cold beers and some good friends, we went back to Amanda's and Adams for a little BBQ which was bloody lovely although I haven't stopped being sick since.lol. I don't blame the cooking I do however think I've come down with a bit of a stomach bug...Ah welll!

Totally forgot to mention this great news! Daniel and Chris are going to be working along side Damien Hirst. Yeah that's right DAMIEN HIRST! So proud of them boys, they'll be in their element! Got to show you this picture of them together!

Anyway short but sweet, I have got to get to work. I'll try and update you a bit more next time.

Take it easy. x

As Promised..

My new tattoo... well as far as I have got after the first 2 and a half hour sitting. I love it! I will put another picture up after it's fully done an healed.

It makes me feel like I'm even closer to going on my travels...not too long now!

Anyway other than that Daniel and I went to the Doctors this morning and are going to be making are appointment for our jabs as soon as possible, some of them are really expensive especially the malaria tablets! Hopefully we will get it all sorted soon though.

I have also sorted out to hire out a club for two days before we go so we can have a big going away party! I really can't wait!

Stealth mode sergeant Kitty Cat!

Hazel had her 21st Birthday party last night, after a long day at work with a rather sore head from the night before I thought that it was best that I just stay for one and then grab myself a nice early night and a long relaxing bath.........however, it didn't quite turn out like that.....instead i had one beer then two, 3, 4, 5 and so on.

It was a wicked night was good to see Haze and have a great catch up with everyone. Wish Daniel was there but he had to go back to his mums to sort out some family business. My favourite part of the night was stealthing around with Kit we ducked and dived in-between cars, and had our imaginary guns. Kit always has that way of making you smile no matter what mood your in...it was bloody hilarious! So cheers Kit for putting a smile on my face, cheers Hazel for having a wicked party and supplying us with beer and cheers to everyone that was there that had to listen to my drunken ramblings!

Beautiful day today and it's Newburns birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAL. Enjoy the sunshine!

Take it easy x

First part of my tattoo down!

I sat through just over 2 and a half hours of agony and for it I have the most beautiful piece of art on my side! It's not finished yet but the guy I went to Paul Nailer is a truly talented and lovely guy! Really looking forward to my next sitting now. I have some pictures as well so I'll load them up here soon for you all to see!

Still been working very hard as usual, constantly uploading new products to the website, recently we have been getting a lot of nail technicians into the shop and buying this hologram glitter rainbow dust from us, apparently because it's suitable for food it meets all the cosmetic statutory requirements and has become one of our best sellers. The nail technicians that I've spoken to said it is actually much cheaper and better quality than the stuff that they can purchase from the suppliers. Have we found a Niche in the market?

Anyway other than that I haven't been up to too much I went out last night to the station pub in Lytham to watch a wicked band called The Coustics they were amazing!

Hope you are all well, the travel plans are still coming on nicely but savings never as fast as you'd like it to be!

Take care

New Tattoo

I'm getting a new tattoo on thursday it's going to be the first 4 hour sitting of a tattoo that will take up to 8hours and I am really nervous! Can't stop thinking about it! I have been planning this tattoo for just over 2 years and have waited 9 months to get this amazing tattooist called Paul Nailer!

I will show you guys pictures of the progress! My tummy has butterflies and I've still got 4 days to wait! One step closer to the travel plan!

Also went out for Rosy's 21st this last weekend had a great time with everyone..i miss going out sometimes but it will all be worth it when I'm seeing the world!

Hope all you guys are well!

Take it easy! x
