Left Omni Instruments for New Job 1st Sept 2008

Well it has been great working and Omni Instruments Ltd but the chance of working nearer to home was just too great.

I am now an accountant with Laird Holding in Memus ;-) just 10 minutes away from home, instead of 30+ and I am home 45 mins earlier too.

The job itself had more management accounts too, so it a step up ;-)

Everybody at memus is really nice, though it is a lot quieter not being in a room with salepeople, though I will keep in contact with everyone at Omni.

introducing Lily ;-)

Hi every body
Lorna's won us over and we have a new 9 week old Kitten called Lily she is our first female for sometime.

She very cute and starting to get very friendly.

In memory my lovely Cat Terry

Hi everyone
As you know I am a great cat lover and in the around 18 months or so
ago very special cat called Terry came into my life with his brother
Nicki.
Since we have had him Terry became almost my constant companion always
there through some hard times I had recently and always lifting me up
when i was feeling low.
Athough I stll have 3 other very nice cats I also love very much Terry
was the cat that was always around me and even woke me every morning.
The sad news is the he was knocked down by a car on Saturday night. :-/
I have taken this very hard, I feel worse than I have when losing any
of my other cats in the past as he was around me all the time.
His brother keeps looking for him around the house too

RACE FOR LIFE

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

Also got chance to see Richard and April again and catch up with April Family and friends, as well as doing my Christmas shopping and sight seeing at weekend

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

http://www.zoo.nsw.gov.au/content/view.asp?id=39

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!

Janet trip to Omni US

Hi

Back and still Jet lagged, you would not have wanted to cross me over the weekend, you should feel sorry for Campbell (hes my hubby of over 20yrs, but all but Wayne knows that) , as he got the bunt of my bad temper caused by jet lag, still he must have forgiven me he brought me chocs to welcome back.

Richard and April are well, Richard a little stressed as usual.

Turnover for the first year look like it will reach $300,000 by the End of Sept 2006, Congratulations to Richard on that.

Richard has been so busy, he forgot to do most of his accounts, but he did all the sales, hence Jim sending me over. They are pretty up to date now, but Richard is hoping to get some part-time help to ensure it does not get so behind again.

April arranged my free time and had a great time eating and shopping mainly (-:

It was interesting visiting Richard, Templeton is very different from Kirriemuir even though they have similar amount of residents. Both have there good and bad points.

Templeton & US good points

Warm weather, cheap clothes, great and cheap to eat out , great near the sea, people very friendly.

Bad points

Bad roads, too may cars -you drive everywhere, no decent Bread/milk, water nasty, no pubs, can get too hot & too long a flight to get there.

Kirriemuirs good points

Own house/bed and family/assorted pets, great cup of tea/toast, nice pubs, pretty town, great walks, live music every weekend.

Bad points

To many pubs (can be more like the wild west than US!), not many shops, no youth club.

Anyway better get back to proper work now !!!
