• Busy! busy! busy!

  by Nikki Hollm July 29, 2007
  The summer holidays are always a little manic for me. First, work is always very busy for the first few weeks since we are organising and running various activities for the kids to do. Plus I have my children from the UK over and this year a few of my nieces have come along too, so my house kind of ...

• The summer.........finally!

  by Nikki Hollm July 22, 2007
  Well, the weather outside is gorgeous and it looks as though summer has finally made it. We're still getting some rain but the temperature has risen and I picked up a great tan last week mountain biking. This summer is going to be unlike any others though, because I get to meet several of my sisters...

God I love my job!I will miss my friends here again though, since there will be noone I can open up to and chat (I'm not out at work). I r...

• Is it just me........?

  by Nikki Hollm July 10, 2007
  ....or have the TA's that we get here become nicer? I used to dread getting PM'd by them since you imagine what they wanted, and I upset a few by telling what I thought about their offer!! However, they are a part of this site and I have no issues with that, especially now that there seems to be a d...

  I have been very saddened recently to hear that some of my best friends here are going through some difficult times. It is never easy and of course you always want to support your friends through a crisis but it is so difficult when you are not even in the same country!! Grrrr!I really wish I could ...

• Katie Glover

  by Nikki Hollm June 20, 2007
  Like the rest of you I have just heard the news that Katie is in hospital at the moment and has been there for about a week already. It looks as though she might be there for a little while longer yet as well, and will then need to recover at home. I would encourage all of you who are as grateful as...

  Well, I've just returned from Berchestgarten in Bavarian Alps in Germany and I have to say it was absolutely marvellous. The scenery was fantastic, right out of a travel guide and the people were friendly. Of course there was also lots of apfelstrudel to eat as well......It was a little strange not ...

• Famous in my own stockings!

  by Nikki Hollm May 22, 2007
  It seems I am to become the subject of some more research by a university. During a discussion on significant changes in mid life, I nonchalantly mentioned that I love the fact that I am TG, I fully embrace it and have never been happier! What a reaction! I have since been bombarded with emails requ...

• Answering the door

  by Nikki Hollm May 18, 2007
  A funny thing happened today. I had been waiting for a parcel to arrive for a couple of days and kept missing the delivery so had a note to say they would try again this afternoon. Anyway, no work today so was dressed and doing some studying when the doorbell rang, argh!! I had a quick peek to see w...

• Just a quickie

  by Nikki Hollm May 8, 2007
  Over the last few days I lost my internet connection.....aarrggh!! It was awful. Although it was temporary I was really upset about it as it meant that I had no contact with people I have come to call friends. It made me feel very alone and was like the bad old days when I was firmly rooted in the c...
