Weight loss

I set about to lose some weight and ridiculously I lost 9 KG's so far. It's actually at the point where it's beyond being a good thing, I am starting to look gaunt :o/

Random stuff

So it is one month and two days today until I go on this holiday which it feels like I've been planning forever. I am excited, I am also a little nervouse there is so much I need to get together before I fly more over before I apply for my visa, I think the thing that I need to sort out first is my travel insurance. Once that is done I need to get my manager to write a letter saying that I still have a job to come back to, unfortunately that is true, once this trip is over I will put my nose back on the grindstone and focus on my career and my other dreams and I will still use this blog to document it. I was thinking that I want to move out of my mothers place before 2010 is over that will be my next goal, I have to think of how to do that short of winning the lotto, but I miss my privacy and I need my space. Any way I am rambling. I'll write a bit more soon.

Bummer

So in the past if a South African went to the UK, you didn't need a visa to get entry. And until yesterday that was still the case. The UK are now requesting you to purchase a visa before setting foot in their country, see Cape Times article http://www.capetimes.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=4834211 and this is of course causing me tremendous stress.

Reason being I have no clue where or how and what you need to apply for a UK visa in addition it's beeping expensive, at R990,00 for three days entry alone, I feel cheated since I am a good honest person who has no intention of not returning home. GRRRRRRR beeping heck this sucks.
