I passed....

Good news from the Hartnett household - I found out (on our wedding anniversary!!) that I had passed the first part of my professional exams to be a GP. Very very pleased with the score too and hope I can do as well in the consulting part in London next year!

We're off to the States on Monday (10th Dec) and are very much looking forward to seeing all our friends and family over there - it's been more than a year since we've seen most of you!

Week of badness...

It's been an odd week here in Charleston. Dave went on a business trip to Birmingham, Englandshire a week past Monday. Whilst he was away our chimney went on fire. Then my mum (already sick with a very painful back) had a bad reaction to some of the tablets her doctor gave her, then our car got broken into (window smashed and sat nav stollen), then our Christmas cards arrived and weren't cards (long story).... it's all been a bit rubbish. My exam results come out next week, so I'm praying that things start to look up a bit! Here's a photo of Winston in an elf's hat...
