It’s been a while between posts – my last post was a bit of a wrap up of 2015,
so it seems only fitting that now all the craziness of Christmas and New Year is over, I look into my crystal ball and share my 2016 predictions for the Middle Aged Mama and fam …
The Middle Aged Kids
Mr 21 will remain in the nest for the foreseeable future as he is heading to Uni to study Commerce.
Miss 19 is happy to be back at work after her accident last year; we are still pursuing Centrelink regarding their failure to support her in her time of need. In March she will fly to England with her boyfriend to visit family, with stops in Italy and Dubai as well.
The Middle Aged Mama & Papa
Spare a thought for the hubster, who is having surgery on his ear today (including a skin graft) following a skin cancer diagnosis 🙁 .
We are giving some serious consideration to moving house to be closer to the hubster’s new workplace, and Mr 21’s university campus. While we NEVER enjoy the rigmarole associated with buying and selling, what makes it even more painful is this:
Our backyard on the left … compared to neighbouring properties
I’ve never mentioned it on the blog before, but we have been fighting with our local authority for coming up 2 years over this situation, and quite frankly, we are OVER it. For somebody who loves to garden, it is pretty depressing – hopefully it will be sorted soon, because it will be impossible to sell while it looks like this!
It’s not all bad news though! All going well, I should complete my Diploma in Digital Marketing this year – at last, some credentials in the field I’ve been working in for the last few years.
The hubster and I are also keen to escape to our beach shack for regular weekends and mini breaks. What beach shack?! Well, let’s just say, I hope to be able to share more soon! 😉
Oh, and I have a BIG birthday coming up (about this time next year), so want to book a special holiday to mark such an auspicious occasion!
The Blog
You might have noticed, the blog has had a bit of a makeover. Seems crazy that I build websites for clients, but never really get around to giving attention to my own! So that’s one job I’ve tackled over the Christmas break. It’s not quite where I want it to be yet, but I’m hoping you’ll agree it’s a huge improvement.
I’m very excited to be heading to Melbourne in February, as the guest of Princess Cruises … more to come!
All things considered, it should be a good year!
So what does 2016 have in store for you?!
