My 30th Birthday

My 30th Birthday started a little early (on the 22nd), when my office threw me a little morning tea party πŸ™‚ I had absolutely no idea and I was a little shocked to say the least! It was really lovely, loads of cake and sandwiches and drink. On the Friday (23rd) Charlotte, Kirsten and myself wentContinueContinue reading “My 30th Birthday”

I passed my motorcycle theory test!

Today, quite by accident, I passed my motorcycle theory test! I only went in to book it, but ended up sitting it then and there…and passed. I got to town with the single task of re-booking my Theory task after my last failed attempt. However, when I got to the AA it was rammed withContinueContinue reading “I passed my motorcycle theory test!”
