Exciting!

I'm now officially on holiday!!! I am so excited, it'll be so nice to have a week off work where I can just chill out, enjoy the sunshine, and play with my camera! Talking of which - I was a bit naughty and bought myself a new lens - this time the Tamron 10-24mm wide angle! Its so lush!
I shouldn't have done really, but I figured that I deserved it after a long 2 weeks at work running the store - eeek! It really is great though, and as soon as I get some pics sorted, I'll pop some up!

Its been a while...

.... Since I last blogged! Blimey! I don't remember it being that long ago! I don't even know where to start to update, but I think it goes something along the lines of: Work, holiday, more work, even more work, fall-outs with certain friends, making plans with other friends, work again, and Ascot! Which brings me up to yesterday!
Poppy died a couple weeks ago :( We knew she was ill, she was getting very fat, and sleeping more, but at first we thought it was old age, but we put her on a diet when we went on holiday, and it didnt make any difference, so we took her to the vet who said it was a cyst, nothing they could do, given she was quite old, but while she was eating and drinking fine, she was ok. So, the diet went out the window, and spoiling her came in! I felt so bad for putting her on a diet when it wasnt her fault! So she got lots of treats, and generally spoilt rotten until we found her one evening, barely able to walk, and unable to open one eye. It was really sad, but we knew we had to take her to the vets to be put to sleep, it wasnt fair on her to stay suffering like that. So Bo took her in, it was really hard for him, she was his favourite, and he was hers, she used to squeak to get his attention, and did it work?! He used to stop whatever he was doing, and feed her, or get her out the cage for a runaround! Bless her, one of the best hammies ever, and we both miss her :(
In better news, we're off on holiday again next week, this time down to Ashurst (New Forest) - its a campsite we've stayed at loads of times before, but I am really looking forward to it! Just to have a week off from work will be amazing!
