Stories from the Eagars

Things are kinda getting back to normal now after our visitors, social life is picking up again

We went out on Friday night to the JW Steakshouse in Deira, with Vicki & her husband Mark, who were over from Aberdeen and their friends (who also live in Dubai & were staying with.)  It was a really nice night had some good food, good wine and a good natter.  By the time I was getting into the swing of things the restaurant was shutting up shop & it was time to go home!  Everyone said their goodbyes but at this point I didn’t want to go home just yet so me & hubby ended up at Zinc (a nightclub in the Crowne Plaza)….we had an absolute ball… befriended some dutch trolly dollies and had a right laugh.  When it was time to leave I suddenly realised that I was completely trollied.  Turns out the vodkas that hubby was plying me with was actually doubles not singles!  NAE GOOD!  Anyway, we thought we’d better get up the road before I keeled over but on the way home we had to pull over twice so I could….erm…. how can I put it….. spew!!  Classy bird eh!!  Saturday was Kayleighs birthday so I kinda died on the couch all day then went out for tea at the golf club at night…poor kayl didn’t get much of a celebration!!

Didn’t do much on sunday, stayed in and got caught up with my washing and general tidying etc (I think I was still hungover to be honest!) and then on Monday I met my pal Alison for a coffee then went for Loz’s ice skating lesson, on Tuesday I had a job interview…(more on that in a minute) and we were out for tea with Vince & Sharon.  Today Cam’s got cricket & swimming lessons after school, tomorrow I’ve got a Virgin Vie party at my pals house round the corner and cam & Loz have their snowboard lessons, Friday Lauren has her freestyle skating club and then we’ve got a race night at the country club.  Then on saturday Cam has a birthday party!!!  It’s non stop!!

As for my interview……………….. My pal Alison works in a private nursery round the corner from the kids school and she mentioned that there was a job share going and would I be interested?  It’s working every sunday & monday 8am till 12pm and then every second thursday.  Apart from my own kids, I’ve had absolutely no experience in working with kids so I thought they wouldn’t even consider me for the job but apparently they prefer people with hands on experience rather than qualifications!  There is a qualified nurse there everyday and the nursery never advertise places or jobs as it’s just relies on word of mouth reccommendations & thats seemingly why it is doing so well!  I’ve more or less been told that the job is mine if I want it and the good thing is, they dont need me to start till after summer which gives me 4 1/2 months to get myself organised!! Its not a job that I would have ever considered before but in all honesty, the hours & days are perfect & I get all the school holidays off…can’t ask for more!  God help the poor kiddies once I start!!!
