  by Nikki Hollm November 14, 2007
  Hooray! We had our first snow today, I hope that bodes well for a good skiing season, unlike last year. I intend to get as much in as possible this winter and there are some okay slopes nearby, not particularly challenging but better than nothing. I haven't skiied en femme.....yet......but this year...

• Really poorly..

  What a weekend....urgh! I had the migraine from hell which lasted four days and a touch of tonsilitis as well, what fun! Not! I spent the whole weekend in bed and didn't feel better until late yesterday. I'm on holiday, illness is for those times when you have to go to work!On the plus side I did lo...

• Halloween gig

  by Nikki Hollm November 1, 2007
  My band played a gig last night for the Chopper Club here, great fun it was too. To be honest, we weren't at our best because we had to play with a stand-in bassist but we still rocked!! We had lots of positive feedback and picked up a few more gigs while we were there so that was nice. One in Belgi...

  Yesterday, the 24th, my son was born..YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He is soooooo cute, and I have been alternating between crying and smiling for the last 24 hours because I am so happy! If anyone thinks it's kind of weird that I have a new child....it isn't. It doesn't make me any less of a woman, maybe even ...

• Another milestone?

  by Nikki Hollm October 22, 2007
  On Friday I was in the middle of getting dressed up when my wife came in to see if I wanted my hair styled, (my own hair that is), since it is now getting a reasonable length. Although I was kind of confused I agreed and she did a really good job too! I had never been out before without a wig so I f...

  Degrees that is, having just spent way too much free time studying when I could be..........well, doing anything more interesting really! Still, noone made me do this and I do enjoy learning so I am pleased with myself. Once the result is posted I shall be treating myself to something nice too. Of c...

• Local girls

  by Nikki Hollm October 7, 2007
  I gave myself a break from my studies yesterday and had a night out with a group of local girls that I found here. We took over a local place and had an organised meet there rather than just going to a pub/restaurant or whatever. Everyone I met was very friendly, as you might expect, and I recieved ...

• Exams

  by Nikki Hollm October 4, 2007
  Well, next week I find out if three years of study have been worth it since I have my final exams. I am feeling confident though and looking forward to some closure on this degree.I was going to take a break for a few months before my next course for a different degrees starts but have instead opted...

• FFS

  by Nikki Hollm September 27, 2007
  Okay, so I have decided what I want, or what I can afford at least, so all I need to do is finish saving the cash for the surgery, and of course the cost of staying in the US for a couple of weeks, hotels, meals etc. On the plus side I can get a pretty good price on a flight........oh who am I kiddi...

• Laser - no6

  by Nikki Hollm September 21, 2007
  Well, the good news is I had my 6th appoinment today, which was brilliant! Nothing left on the neck and cheeks, just the 'goatee' bit which is proving to be a little stubborn, nearly there though. The consultant thinks 2 more visits should do it, I tend to agree. Plus she agreed to do them at half p...
