• Holidays

  by Nikki Hollm May 3, 2010
  We've just recevied our booking confimation so will be off to France in July and Italy in August for holidays, woohoo! I can't wait. Like a lot of people, I look forward to them as a refresh and recharge, and of course, it's always nice to go somewhere new and sample the local culture. (Apparently, ...

• No pain but still gain!

  by Nikki Hollm April 10, 2010
  About time too! Laser affects people differently, it hurts me, unlike electrolysis, which I find relaxing. Now though, I have reached the point where the laser can hardly be felt anymore, with the exception of my upper lip which still needs a good bit of treatment. There isn't so much there anymore ...

• Long weekend

  by Nikki Hollm April 1, 2010
  Yay! A four day weekend coming up, and in my case, two of them as I have a long weekend next week as well. I feel like I really deserve it too as work has been very manic and my feet feel like they have hardly touched the ground. i'm looking forward to getting some nice gentle retail therapy in and ...

• Swimming again!!

  by Nikki Hollm March 27, 2010
  I finally managed to get myself back into swimming again after about two years. The reason? Well, mostly because the pool changed their opening times which meant I now have time to go for a swim after I have given guitar lessons, or been to the gym, which takes up five evenings a week between them. ...

• Back from the slopes

  by Nikki Hollm February 23, 2010
  Skiing was terrific as usual, I really enjoy it even though I may not have as much grace and style as those who grew up with it. My daughter also did really well in her first ski school and came second in her slalom race held on the final day of her course. I'm so proud of her and she can't wait to ...

• Tribune

  by Nikki Hollm January 28, 2010
  Well, that was kind of weird reading about myself in the Tribune. I'm not the sort of person who likes talking about themselves much, I'm very private but in this instance it's a benefit to other girls to read about each others stories, at least I think so. It can be pretty interesting too. I think ...

  As well as playing in a band myself, I also teach guitar, bass and drums to young people, and so I was very proud to be able to arrange to get three of my students to play the supporting band at a Christmas gig we did. They used our singer but are now actively looking for their own since they had a ...

• Back to the grindstone

  by Nikki Hollm January 4, 2010
  It was a very nice break, in spite of the in-laws being around for far too long!! (I think we've earned our inheritance now, lol) The holidays were very relaxing and enjoyable and they didn't pass too quickly either which is nice. I couldn't get back to work today as the office suffered flood damage...

• Urgh!!!

  by Nikki Hollm December 3, 2009
  It's one thing to have Jo in the UK (I miss her when she's away), but another to have to cope with the children while suffering from a two day migraine......not the best scenario I could have imagined I have to say. Just when you need a little TLC.............I heard from a friend of mine who is rec...

• Long week

  by Nikki Hollm December 1, 2009
  My other half is in the UK this week so it's going to be a long slow week for me. I really miss her in the evenings, I don't like rattling around the house on my own, it's much nicer to share the evening with someone special. *sigh*At least I will be busy both at work and at home so that keeps my mi...
