Stories from the Eagars

Well…. things have been slipping and I’ve not been keeping up with my blog! 

Since I last wrote, my mum has been out on holiday, I’ve been working, I’ve been ill and then it was xmas!!  Mum came out for 10 days at the end of November and it was really nice as she got to buy the kids xmas pressies so they had something to open on xmas day.  I’ve been doing supply work at the local school here (which the kids are all moving to in Jan) and have just been offered a full time job .. well when I say full time, it’s 12pm – 4.30pm Sunday to Thursday.  I start on 3rd Jan and I’m really looking forward to it!

I came down with flu last week and was completely floored!  I felt like poo!!  Feeling much better now though thankfully.  And then it was Xmas!! Cam was up around 8am absolutely hyper and got everyone up, we opened presents then Andrew made us all bacon & egg butties for breakfast!  We lazed about for a while then got lunch sorted.  After lunch we headed to the golf club with the kids to meet some friends for a xmas drink!  Once we were there, we decided to head round and gatecrash another friends house….. what a fantastic night!  Imagine sitting outside till 1am on Xmas night while the kids played in the pool!  It was strange but nice!  I did miss the cold tho… when I went outside to put the rubbish in the bin & forgot that it was hot!

Having a relaxing day today…. sitting catching up with Eastenders, Strictly Come Dancing & the rest of the tv programmes that I download! 

 Hope everyone has had a lovely Xmas and eaten & drunk too much

We were at the IADC Ball on the lawn of Emirates Golf course on the 16th of November and it was fab!

Andrew had been in the golfing event on the Thursday & Friday so we got a table for the ball at night.  It was out of this world.. the entertainment was excellent, the food was brilliant and the firework display was something else!

Considering we’ve only been in Dubai since February, I couldn’t believe the amount of people I knew there… I couldn’t even go for a pee without getting stopped by someone I knew!  Everyone ended up at ours for an impromptu party which went on till the early hours and included someone trying to breakdance and splitting his head open against the wall
