Christmas Newsletter 2007

Hi

Its that time of the year again

Its been an eventful year, 2007

Angus has passed his HNC in Music his Band A Silent Surrender have a small fan base in Dundee now and they are playing the Hive in Edinburgh on 15th December.
If you are brave and like loud Music look at his band
He now has to decide whether to follow in and do the degree course of stop at HND and start trying to earn a living.( That would be good!)

Lorna did well in her Standard grades with 7 credits and one general, she at present cannot decide between Art and English to study when she leaves school. She is presently doing 4 highers and doing well. She already looks a bit like a art student with a selection of piercings, in ears nose lip and tongue ( ;-#). Her and her long term Boyfriend Chris from Aberdeen split which was a same I liked him, but on the bright side she has a new boyfriend Jack from London ( yes I did say London he comes up on the mega bus every few weeks) and I like him too, though they are very different

Campbell is contracting in Aberdeen at present and working hard. He will be 50 in February - would you believe it? I have known him since he was 23!

Think he would rather have a boat than do computer programming, but he has just bought be a new Punto so will have to work hard for a while yet ;-).

We all went to Portugal in October which was fun and Angus's first time abroad. It was fun.

Angus playing toy guitar in Portugal!

I had a very busy year as you can see from the rest of my blog. went to OZ, US, Passed my exams and became accepted as a MAAT by the AAT,

All with thanks to my work Omni Instruments Ltd in Dundee where I am office Manager

Our 2 youngest cats Nicki (tabby and white) and Terry(black and white) are now over a year old and Alex (black) keeps them in there place, Felix ( guess) still not sure of them especially Nicki as he is not afraid of him. They all love Bonnie of course !!

Have a great 2008

family holiday in Portugal

For the first time ever we went a family holiday abroad in October 2007
Thought we had better , because Angus is nearly 19 and most likely will not want to come with us again

Hi
So I did it I passed all My AAT exams and am now an ordinary accountant ( not chartered) after working in Accounts for 25 years + and being the oldest in my class ;-).

Janet's trip to Omni Austrialia

Hi there

Back from my travels and Jet lagged (again) why do I always feel worst on the way back!

It was nice to meet Wayne and Leanne and they looked after me very well, lots of good food and wine after a hard day at work!

Trained Susan( see photo) on Mamut and she help me get the accounts up-do-date.

What is it about salesman they never keep accounts up-to-date!!!

I'm sure she'll learn to love Mamut as much as me ;-}.

Went to see the dish

Worth watching the Film the dish alabout the dish relaying the first moonwalk!

and on my last day Sydney zoo

Getting used to flying now, going to Europe will be a doddle after this!!

Like Austrialia, they had proper milk for their tea, normal sized cars and pubs.

Better get back to catching up with my work now in Sunny (?) Dundee!
