Did you and the family have a nice christmas?
We had a good day we spent the day at Ricks mums and it was lovely,we had ham pork and turkey to choose from and i made a fried rice and potato bake to add to the mix plus there was plenty of salads to eat aswell so i probably gained like 20 kilos from all the food and alcohol oh well i have my pro ab machine and we now have a home gym cos Rick and i went halves in one for each other for chrissy.It was $1,000 but it was on special for $450 so we got an awesome deal.
now im just trying to sought all the kids rooms out so i can fit all their new toys and clothes they got(SPOILT KIDS I HAVE)
And today i went and got Lohlas name tattooed on me and it didnt hurt a bit but an hour has passed and my arm is burning but dont worry that is normal.
I am enjoying my time of from work and am not in a hurry to go back.
now i just gotta get soughted for the NYE party.

Well i hope you are having heaps of fun for the holidays and i will talk to ya soon

Hi Tyler.

Nice to hear from you again. Yes, we had a really nice Christmas and this year I took things a little easier than usual. Mainly to do with drinking two glasses of wine before the inlaws arrived ... which helped no ends!!

I was quite ill before Christmas - the last in our family to get the bug. I've been waiting and waiting to start to do all those holiday things that I've planned for such a long time. Today I sectioned off the children playroom and turned it into a studio and began to paint - I've finished three painting and very happy with the outcome - have to wait now until Christel comes back from riding to show her - she is my biggest critic!!

Don't worry about the extra kilos ... muscle weighs more than fat ... so it is probably muscle that you have added. My cousins have also made some sort of gym and Christel and I are going to visit it on a regular basis - that's the plan anyway.

"SPOILT KIDS I HAVE" me too! But this year we split the presents into two. Half on the 24th (evening) and the other half on 25th (morning) which was a great idea! Even Christel and the children thought so too!

Where is Lohla's name tattooed? Or shouldn't I ask? Good that you didn't call her Sleeping-Serious-Panther or anything long like that.

My sister phoned me up a few days before Christmas - crying her eyes out. I thought that they had split, but it has to do with money (as usual). She has spent all her inheritance money and wants to borrow some money from me ... the problem is that she has a really problem with money or spending in general. It really hurt me to say no - unless she gets some sort of plan up and running - how to handle the payments to the creditors, how much she spends each month, how much stuff are luxuries, etc. I'm a bastard brother, aren't I? But I know that if I lend her 5,000 Pounds she would be back in the same situation in 3 months. And I have to think of my own family, too. They, my sister and her husband, are really rich anyway - but all the money is tied up with shops and properties in the UK.

"NYE party" - we're having three families over for the New Year celebrations, which should be good. Everyone is bringing fireworks, I'll do a big fire to keep us warm (really cold here at present -4°C. How about you?

Hope to hear from you soon

A.
