My Blog has moved, i'll be blogging at http://tijuanaamii.blogspot.com/   hope you can join me! Drop in sometime! Love Amy xx Thu, 24 Nov 2005 23:09:43 +0100 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Tijuana/Moving/40/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Tijuana/Moving/40/ To all that i know online - i just wanted to let you know how special you are to me. I found this and thought of you :) Unseen Friends Although you are a friend of mine And letters we exchange I would not know you on the street And doesn't that seem strange? You hold a place within my life Unusual and unique We share ideals and special dreams And still we do not speak I picture what I think you are Perhaps you picture me? An intriguing game for both of us For someone we cannot see. So for this friendship we possess We owe this mail a debt Perhaps the charm lies in the fact That we have never met. ~Anonymous~ Sun, 13 Nov 2005 22:13:27 +0100 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Tijuana/A-poem/39/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Tijuana/A-poem/39/ Hey all...just dropping in quickly to say hey - promise i'll write again properly over the weekend...forgive me?! Gonna do Shel's Quiz... Joy Joy is when i walk thru the door of MY house and feel the warmth of the heating on a cold day Rage Rage is what i feel when i hear about children being hurt / abused and i feel powerless to do anything about it. Envy Envy is seeing your friends eating chocolate cake and wishing you could too! Desire My deepest  Desire in life is to be a teacher. I want to teach children things that they can use in later life. Passion I feel passion for the things i believe in, if i believe in something enough, i won't ever let it go. Jealousy I feel jealousy when i see all my size 10 friends and know that i'll never be able to fit into that size. Want All i want in life is to be happy and loved - i feel that right now.

(Work stuff, not important) I had my driving lesson yesterday morning - guess what guys? My instructor let me drive home after the lesson!!    We did roundabouts and 4th gear this week. My next lesson is on Tuesday evening cos i have to work this saturday coming up    it's only 9 til 1 though so i guess its not too bad really, only a few hours. Hubby and i have been playing World Of Warcraft yesterday and this morning, we're both level 22 now which is cool   I've got my driving Theory test booked now, it's 26th November.

I'm good, we've had a fantastic weekend of doing absolutely nothing! It has been great! Thursday and Friday were manic at work, the phones went crazy again and i had nearly 200 cheques to authorise on top of trying to get the rest of my tasks up to date - it was crazy     (That's me in the middle!!) So, friday evening, hubby and i started playing WoW (World of Warcraft) together. We play as a team, we're both trolls! I'm a Fire Mage and he's a Frost Mage. We've never played together before, only separately cos our internet connection couldn't take us both playing at the same time, but now it's been upgraded so we can play together    And that is pretty much what we've been doing the whole weekend - except for three hours where we were cleaning the Fish Tank cos it was all grimy and green     So, yeah - not much to tell you guys really except for that! Ooooh, i finished reading...

This is my hubby drinking some juice! This is the buttonhole hubby was wearing This is the car the bride arrived in! I hope you liked those photos? I would have loved to have put up more but like i said, i don't know that the people in them would appreciate it! So, the wedding was fantastic, very romantic. They were married at a place called Highcliffe Castle in the 'Conservatory' there, very pretty. We then had a lovely three course meal at a restaurant called 'The Lord Bute' which was yummy! I had melon and sorbet,...

You are a natural performer and can easily bring laughter and merriment to even the most serious moment. You are happiest when your home is filled with people who are all having a good time, particularly when you are the direct source of the merriment. Because of your shifting focus and upbeat nature, people take you somewhat less seriously than you expect, often because they’re expecting a punchline at the end of your serious statement… and you probably have one ready. You are very generous, particularly with your possessions and have a somewhat communal, shared idea of possessions among everyone you meet. You like to wake up each morning without a plan and see where the day takes you, hopefully on some safe but relatively exciting adventure. You begin a lot of projects, but finish few because the details get boring and something more fun...

We went to visit hubby's friend on friday night, his house is right next to a train station (Main line to London) and it felt like every hour the house was shaking as the train went through   it was so loud! Didn't get a very good night sleep y'all   Anyways, we went shopping in Bedford on Saturday morning, i brought me some new trousers and some tops for work, my old tops look huge on me now i've lost weight    so i had to buy some more!! Hubby brought a new belt and a jumper too, and we brought some DVD's. I got 'Dead Like Me' the first series, Paul got the second series of 'Scrubs' - love those two programmes!! So funny    We then went back to hubby's friends house and they played games on the puter while i read up on my highway code     for my driving lesson on sunday.

My week has been pretty boring really, sleep, eat, work, eat, sleep. Yesterday was rubbish, had a really bad day where everyone at work was not working like i was...it was like they weren't bothered about the call stats or the customers yesterday. I won't go into it, it's all resolved now. Thanx to Shel for the email you sent me, you fantastic!    Today was better. Had a bit of a laugh actually! We had a policyholder call up at 5:25pm (Just before we were leaving to go home) he got to work this morning and parked his car in the carpark. He sent his mate down to the car to get something for him, his mate goes to the car, gets the thing out, closes the door and thinks "Car looks a bit wonky" He takes a proper look and realises......Someone has stolen all four wheels! The car is up on a jack one side and bricks on the other! I shouldn't laugh really but it was funny!! Our policyholders can be hilarious...

We were all watching the  Cricket at work today, it was soooo funny! We kept sending someone outside to the restroom to check the scoreboard for the last day! I watched a whole hour at lunch and i nearly fell off my seat with excitement! Kevin Pietersen was fantastic! Hope you all had a good weekend? I did! Let me tell you about it! We got up on Saturday morning at 9:30am and had some breakfast before we went into town. We drove into town and the multi storey car park looked real busy, so busy it looked like we weren't gonna be able to park anywhere! In the end we managed to find a space right up the top and got the lift down, it was way busy! Paul went and got a haircut and while he was doing that, i went and had a look around the new part of the shopping centre that's just opened. I went into River Island, H&M, Zara and Next looking for a new top for father in law's wedding at the end of the...

If you get an e-mail from a supposed Blogigo user named 'WalterMoo' DO NOT reply to it and DO NOT believe what he has to say. He is NOT a genuine Blogigo user and this is not a genuine offer...He says that there is a large amount of money that he is trying to 'relocate to a foreign bank account' and he wants your help. I know that most of you guys wouldn't fall for this kinda thing but i just thought i'd put a warning up for those who may believe it's real. We can tell that this is in no way legitimate so please, if you get the email from this guy, please report it to Blogigo - someone is using their name (And e-mail directory) to get to their users and offer fake 'deals.' Thanks for listening       Thu, 08 Sep 2005 22:08:19 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Tijuana/A-Warning/22/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/Tijuana/A-Warning/22/ 7 Things I Plan To Do Before I Die :   1.
