Hi bev

wow - i\'ve just turned down going home early - everyone else is sneaking off but I want to meet ben after work. If i sneak off now I\'ll only end up looking in shops and getting fed up at not being able to buy anything!!

As a treat, I bought myself a recorder yesterday (pay-day!). Don\'t ask why - I just miss not having one! I haven\'t told ben yet cos he\'ll think I\'ve lost the plot. plus he doesn\'t know how much noise I\'ll be creating with it when it arrives!! :D

Anyhow, don\'t feel down, Bev. I know it must be hard for you being away from home and not knowing anyone. I was like that when I moved to London - especially after the novetly wore off after about 6 months.

Are you coming back to the UK permanently in May?

I\'m always bored at work, so I daresay we\'ll be doing lots of nattering from now on!

Take care and keep smiling!
