home sweet home

Well it's coming up to christmas and I booked a month off work to fly home. I flew on the 14th of december and got in for about 10pm; going pretty much straight to bed. I had not told Heather the date I was coming home and had booked a ticket for the PCWorld staff party the next night.
on the 15th I finally got my haircut. 5months of growth had formed a bit of a mop on my head and was time to shed it. By the afternoon I was getting anxious and thought that Heather had clocked on to me turning up at the meal. So I decided to catch her leaving work instead. I arrived 20minutes before they closed as that was the closest bus. One of my old colleagues was showing another 2 his new car outside, I said hello and was stood talking when Heather peeked out the door. I dived so fast behind some trolleys left outside the shop and waited for her to get closer.
Just as I dived out she walked round the car, but managed to give her a big hug from behind before she saw me.
Turned out to go better than I had planned as I didn't have to stand in the cold for 20min and got to talk to some of the people. The staff night itself was crap: the camp DJ played a very poor selection, there was a good singer who preformed however was interrupted on occasions by the mic static of the DJ. I didn't drink, and I didn't have much fun; until I got home obviously.

Went out in Lytham a couple of times with old college friends and went to blackpool with Heather. Other than that did a bit of work for uni next year and nothing much else.
Christmas day I went to Heather's for lunch; had beef and a nice time seeing her family again. Got socks, chocolate, ipod, hobnobs, drink, deoderant, the usuals.
Bought myself a xbox 360 and plan to get a 40" samsung in the next couple of weeks. Other than that its nice to be out of that tiny room in Germany and back with friends, family and Heather, who I can't seem to get to go home :>

Home vs Augsburg

Not posted in a while, hurt my leg pretty badly and just not had the effort or anything to say in general. Nothing's changed so here's some random lists
advantages:

Augsburg	England
Cheap student living costs You can make eye contact with people you don't know without losing teeth Kebabs are dangerously yummy! Relaxed views to work Reliable, frequent, fast public transport (instead of private public transport rubbish) Fast, cheap internet Rock music is accepted, as are differences - Everyone gets on.	Heather Hobnobs Good, clean tap water A shower+toilet not used by 8 people Dominos pizzas A house to live in, rather than a small room The NHS

Erm, thats all i can think of right now, I'll add something if I can think of anything. Also Christmas is approaching and I'm looking forward to it more than I have this millennium; most probably due to coming home to friends, family and heather.
Not sure if I've mentioned this is a previous post, but Heather doesn't actually know which day I'm coming back - which has been fun to bug her with the last couple of months. Hopefully she'll let her guard down and I can sneak up on her somewhere.

Wishing you all a happy xmas!
