my new baby - Katja is now 18 months old!

I left JGHS end of 1986 to do Std 9 and Matric at Mondeor High School. It was quite something to go from an all girls school to now have boys in the class. Needless to say the skirts got shorter (although I never got slimmer) and the school disco’s were a lot more fun! Sad to say I forgot about all the old girl friends and life went on.

I moved out of home (to Hillbrow) quite early in my life (the stubborn teenager who knows it all!) and found out that life is not all so easy on your own! But I survived – with lots of hard work and having up to three jobs at once (Secretary by day/waitress or baby sitter by night!

I travelled Europe for a year (with the dream boyfriend at the time) and came back to find he was just not the one!. He left me heart broken but I recovered and eventually met my hubby – Gary. He is too good for me I know – but I definitely won’t tell him that! My step son – put me off kids for life – but I have 4 dogs & a cat to make up for it!

Two years ago we decided to move to the coast to enjoy our lives! We live in Scottburgh but found the nice house by the sea costs loads of money and is high maintenance – so we still work all day and find ourselves too tired to joll at night (not that there is any exciting place to go in Scottburgh and Durbs is 45 minutes away!). But when you sit on the patio and watch the ocean and wonder “what if” - it somehow makes it all worthwhile!

Looking forward to catching up with old friends!
