Great Business Idea!
2007-02-08 22:24:00 My OH keeps asking me to come up with a great business idea that will be good for both us to do, make enough money to live on and be something pretty enjoyable to boot. Well it came to me earlier today! It's something that I had been thinking of doing a few years ago when I was still in the UK, but wasn't well enough to think it through properly let alone physically do it. I'm not going to say More About: Business , Great , Idea , Ness , Sine
Post Viral illness ....How it began
2007-02-06 09:27:00 As I’m still feeling a bit ‘viral’ today with a wheezy cough I thought it was about time I explained how I ended up in France with a post viral illness. It was during December 2004 that I contracted a virus, a bit like bronchitis. A few weeks off work should have put me right but I was really busy at work and looking for a promotion and time off work wasn’t on my agenda. In addition it just More About: Post , Viral , Ness , Illness , Bega
So what about the exercise DVDs?
2007-02-05 16:16:00 Well like I said they are pretty good - but sadly I've got another bug -this time it's 'flu' like and for the last week I've been feeling pretty rough and I'm still barking like a dog. So I listened closely to the directions given on the DVD's and they both say if you're ill don't exercise. So I haven't. See, it's not my fault. Maybe next week - that's if I can remember where I put them. More About: Exercise , What , Hat , Dvd , About
Claire Sweeney and Fern Britton
2007-02-05 14:29:00 Although I don't watch English TV anymore two of my favourite day time tv presenters are Claire Sweeney and Fern Britton. Both seem to be 'down to earth' and 'trustworthy'! So I decided to trust them with my body! Just after the New Year I decided to start my exercise regime for 2007 so I invested in 2 keep fit DVD's. The first one I choose was Every Day Pilates with Fern Britton. I choose More About: Ween , Lair
Double Trouble
2007-02-01 15:54:00 Last Sunday our new pooch turned up from the rescue centre. She was called Boo, and looked like a cross between a golden labrador and a beagle. You could say that she was a bit overweight though! Unfortunately Viko didn't give her the welcome she deserved, and so Boo's first impression of him wasn't good and she never gave him a 2nd chance. A woman's prerogative I guess! A quarter of his size More About: Double , Double Trouble
Gubb makes List Making a List Makers dream!
2007-01-27 13:26:00 I love making lists. I have them all over the place, and I have them for everything. I have a ' general to do list', a ' work to do list', 'jobs to do in the house list' and a 'shopping list'. I also have several other lists, all variations of the above. I have so many lists because I always forget where I've put my lists or I've forgotten that I even wrote them in the first place! And then I More About: List , Maker , Dream , King , Make

Got the bug!
2007-01-25 10:57:00 Urghh! That's all I can say about the last few days. I've had a bit of a gastro bug so I've not been too well to say the least! Strange but Viko, my dog, has had similar symptons. Less said about that the better.
Grout, grout and grout
2007-01-19 10:15:00 Don't you just hate grouting? We've been grouting for 3 days now! We didn't notice that the French tiles we bought were different to the ones we normally get in the UK with the nice edges on them. These are just cut straight and we been trying to grout as we'd grout if they were the tiles with the edges on. We've tried various grout, various methods and various implements to get a nice finish
Friend for the kleptomaniac
2007-01-17 21:35:00 Today we decided to make plans to adopt another dog as a friend for 'Viko' our lovable, crazy, mad, unbalanced, possessive, psychotic, kleptomaniac, 2 year old long haired German Shepherd dog. We're really excited about it and 'the choosen one' should be with us in a few weeks time providing she fits in. She appears to be calm, well balanced, friendly, playful and hopefully doesn't share any of More About: Friend , Mani , Oman , Mania

Who is David Jenter?
2007-01-14 22:25:00 It’s amazing that no matter how much you think you understand someone you can be so wrong! When we were in Turkey, Fethiye to be precise, we were looking for work and a very friendly Turk told us to go and see Davi d Jenter. Who is David Jenter we asked? He kept saying that David Jenter would help us find work and that he was English. He pointed in the direction of the small port where all the More About: Enter

Snail Farming in Spain...or France?
2007-01-12 14:09:00 Did you ever see a program on C4 about Lee & Cheryl who wanted to move out to Spain and breed snails? He had a dream to start a snail farm, so they sold up in the UK and went in search of a plot of land in Spain. They continually argued, nearly split up, had money worries, he had back problems and then needed to return to the UK for an operation. I was riveted to the screen although I thought More About: France , Pain , Fran , Farm
Loir in the bag
2007-01-11 22:47:00 During a visit to the 'bed' section of a local furniture store I wanted to measure a mattress for size. Imagine my horror when instead of pulling out my tape measure from my handbag I pulled out a rodent that was gripping on to my hand! I threw it off and it landed on the floor, it looked and me and I looked at it. I don't know who was more stunned. It..or me?! Once I pulled myself together I
Crime doesn’t pay! Or does it?
2007-01-09 16:16:00 My first experience of living abroad was in Crete with my husband, (before we were married), about 12 years ago. I worked for a Timeshare company but it didn’t agree with me and I didn’t agree with it. It was a bizarre lifestyle working with people who were generally either completely mad or emotionally scarred. And I didn’t like the Kretins much, sorry I meant Cretans. I know I shouldn’t More About: Crime , Rime
Living and working abroad - reality sets in.
2006-12-11 14:37:00 For the last few years I've been living in France with my husband, 2 kids, dog, cat, garden toad and numerous lizards. Oh and the snake which passes by from time to time between the skylight and the roof tiles! We moved to France for numerous reasons including my health, cleaner air, less crime, better weather and a better life. The move proved positive on all accounts however better life also More About: Living , Reality , Work , Sets , Real |
