Nope, not a cheesy idea for a 'Snakes' sequel, but exciting news (for me) that my lovely cat Guiness will be arriving on Friday - that's just 2 more sleeps for me! I've missed him so much and felt so bad for leaving him behind, especially as he's been in a cattery for the last few weeks and will be forced onto a plane for 30 hours, but I couldn't be without him. I've set aside the whole weekend for love and cuddles - if he's not ignoring me!
Can't wait!

Catch-up
To all my friends that have been following my adventures in New Zealand, sorry for not posting anything new in ages but I've been sooo busy preparing for my new job and settling into my new home that everything has gone out of the window - eek!
Here's a rundown of my recent activities - posts to follow with more info.
Friday - went to see me friend's band D&D Showband play in Christchurch. It was a great night and the show was fab.
Saturday - went to my first NZ crop - a 12 hour marathon of scrapbooking at my fave shop The Stamping Ground. I got to meet lots of nice kiwi scrapbookers and to top off the day I won the page of the day and $70 of booty from the shop! How pleased was I? I've booked onto the next one on 9 May and looking forward to it already.
That's it for now! xxx

Gainful employment
Yay I got the job I was after! I'm so relieved and happy as I really wanted it ~ the job sounds ideal for me as a creative soul and someone who loves working with the online industry. I'm going to be doing web copywriting and SEO (Search Engline Optimisation) and I can't wait to start!
I haven't worked for a while due to my recent operation and preparations for travelling to New Zealand plus since I've been here on a holiday visa I haven't been allowed to work so being stuck at home alone every day gets boring ~ believe me!
Now I have a job offer related to my experience I can apply for a temporary work permit before I go through the full immigration application. I'm still gathering up the documentation required for the immigration process ~ you need copies of all sorts of things from birth and marriage certificates, to proof of address, passports, references about your work experience etc. plus a police check and medical ~ it's not cheap and not easy but I hope we'll be successful as we have a mortgage now and want to stay.

My first job interview
I went for a job interview at a web promotions company last week and I've been called back for a second interview on Thursday! The job is for web copywriting and search engine optimisation - I've always loved anything to do with the Internet and my last marketing role involved a lot of digital marketing so its right up my street.
Fingers crossed that I get this job because I really want it!!!

Sparks in the Park
On Thursday Rob and I met up with some friends in Hagley Park, Christchurch for the ASB Classical Sparks - an open air concert with fireworks set to live classical music plus showsongs from several musicals and live jousting!!!
The river in Hagley Park
The weather was warm but windy, but that didn't spoil the atmosphere or spoil the fireworks, and we had a great night.
The gang: Rob, Roger, Rosie, Vicky & Sarah
The sunset
Bang, bang!
Whizz, pop!
Finale!
