I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and you are all in the process of having a Happy New Year :)
I spent Christmas this year in the Crisp family household and it was a ... loud one haha!! I had a great time with Rich's family and I got lots of nice gifts ... all of which I was very surprised about recieving!! I got 2 hoodies, Burberry perfume, makeup, a Scooby dvd and a t-shirt that says "What would Scooby Doo?". Oh yes ... and LOTS of chocolate!! I was very sad about not being able to be with my family for the holidays but Rich kept me occupied and made sure that I didn't get too homesick.
Today, Rich and I travelled from his family's house in Swanage (on the southern coast of England) back to Manchester and it's very nice to be back. I look forward to not being woken up but an 8 year old yelling and running around haha!! But I think that I will miss playing board games and having fun with Rachael, Rich's little sister. Our train arrived back in Manchester at almost 11:30 so we decided to sit this New Year's Eve out and have a quiet night in. It was a very nice sursprise to see the fireworks right from our window so we didn't miss out on too much :)
An update on the job situation ... I have been offered a job at a retail store called West One in the big shopping center here (The Arndale). Here's the problem. I need a National Insurance Number (same as our SIN) in order to work here ... to get the NIN I have to have been offered a job (and I have) ... BUT I had to make an appointment for an interview (which I also did) but the interview isn't until Jan. 29 because that was the soonest they could get me in. Boo!!!! I think I may try to get a waitressing job and see if I can work under the table until I get my NIN. I'll probably make more money in tips than I would working retail anyway!!
Anyway, it's 3am here and I'm off to bed :) Happy New Year all!!

Kim! I am glad you are blogging again! woot woot! I don't understand why they didn't give you that number when they gave you the work Visa... how weird is that! They gave you a Visa to work, but not the special number? Anyhow.. at least you know what to do now, so hopefully it will all go smoothly! Please update and let us know what is going on!
Hey Kim, I had no idea you were blogging again. Joanne told me today. Anyway, I'm glad you had a nice Christmas. Just wanted to say hello.
