No time to blog till now and several updates

So far this has been a hectic week.  We got to move back into our house on Tuesday and have been constantly unpacking and trying to set the living room and office up again.  I can not believe we have so much stuff and I do not where we used to put it all.  I did a huge throw away when I was packing up and have done some more whilst unpacking.  On the plus side it has been a good chance to re-arrange things and get them just perfect.

  A few other things to update & share with you.

After the bad service and experience we had at Twin Waters, Leigh decided to pen a letter and let them know what happened and why we would not being returning in future. We both are not the sort of people to make complaints but Leigh was quite upset that so many things went wrong on our first trip away in years.  2 days after mailing the letter he received a call from the head of Accor. Apologies were made and he said he had flown up to Twin Waters himself to investigate and make sure several of the staff received training. He also invited us back to the resort as his guest, he wanted us to experience the same package but with the room upgraded to a lagoon suite.  After much reassurance we would find things much better this time, Leigh booked us in for the week of our anniversary in May. 

Kedron -Wavell, the club were I was attacked by the woman smashing a glass in my back at the Belinda Carlisle concert are not doing anything.  I sent a written report of what happened to the operations manager including the fact that security did not even take our names or any kind of report on the evening. I have had to chase this man up for a response and he pretty much just wants me to go away. He has been extremely rude and pretty much called me a liar stating security were there and no such incident happened.  I wrote in the hope that they would like into providing better security and also into removing glassware from the showroom.  I would have been happy with some type of commitment from him to look into these issues and at the least offer me an apology. 

Feeling like I was getting nowhere I did some research and found out that if an incident like this happens on a premises & is reported to liqour & gaming an investigation takes place and they could be classed as a high risk venue (one incident is enough for somewhere to classify as high risk). The result of this is having to remove glassware. I made contact with them and have reported the incident and I have been advised an investigation is underway. I really hope something is done as I would not like anyone else to experience what I did.

Oscars countdown, A year ago today, Celine does Lady Gaga...

Oscar host in training

I am counting down the days to Oscar! I love them, its my version of the grand final.  I love seeing who gets the awards and if I think it is political or well deserved and apart from the red carpet I always enjoy seeing who pops up to present (who wouldn't present Hello - have you seen the gift baskets??!!!!)

It will be interesting to see how James Franco and Anne Hathaway do hosting, I love the little clips they have been posting on youtube like the one above.

I would like to see the awards go to:
Best Actress: Natalie Portman for Black Swan
Best Actor: James Franco for 127 Hours
Best Film: I am torn between Black Swan & 127 Hours

The Oscars being on reminded it was a year ago today since I fainted in the kitchen at 4am and broke my ankle which put me in hospital for 9 days with a plate & 8 pins. I remember watching last years Oscars in agony and gladly getting shots of morphine throughout!

Besides that we are all packed away besides a few last minute things (the computer is not getting packed up till the very last minute!) and all set to move out for 10 days on Sunday.

My poor girl Celine is going through a phase at the moment of ripping chunks of fur out so the vet has given us a collar to put on her to stop her from doing it, its not the hard plastic type its more like a cape and she is loving it!!  She is prancing around the house showing off and is extra affectionate.  We think she looks like a little Lady Gaga wannabe - what do you all think?

A horrible end to a nice evening

I could not wait to get home and blog tonight, we went to see one of my all time favorite singers Belinda Carlisle and throughout the concert I had little things pop in my head for my post.

This however is not the post I intended to write as something happened to me tonight I have never experienced in my whole 38 years.

The concert was at a leagues club which I had never been to before and the venue was set up the old fashioned way of long tables with seats.  We were down the front and had a great position.  Half way through the show people started going up the front to dance and started to block our view. The crowd swelled and normally security only let a certain number stay at the front and cut off the rest but not tonight. As a result people started pushing there way through and I had to stand for a lot of the show - oh well never mind.

I was sitting back on my chair having a rest for a minute when this woman nearly pushed me off my chair trying to get past me, she rudely told me to get out of her way and becuase of where my chair was and teh size of the crowd now I had nowhere to go and I told her this. She said she wanted to get through and I again told her nicely I was jammed in and she would have to try another way (there were plenty of wy to get through to the front) I thought nothing more of it.

The show ended and the lights came on and Leigh and I were watching security escort Belinda out when the next thing I knew there was a thud between my shoulder blades and then I was soaking wet. I spun round to see the women from earlier bolting away. She had come back and smashed a glass into back. There was glass everywhere in my hair etc.. and as I was trying to grasp what had happened Leigh checked me out and thank god I had no cuts. I was so in shock. Leigh went to get security and there was no one around so once I got myself together we went to the front of the club and reported what had happened.

While we were there doing this another young girl came to report being punched in the eye and the description she gave matched the woman who had smashed the glass on me.  The girl who was punched said she was told she was being hit becuase she got in her way during the evening. (the girl that was hit was cute as a button and about 5ft tall and would not get in any ones way - the attacker was approx my height which is 5ft 7.)

I have a very sore back from where the glass was smashed against it and had to come home & shower and wash my hair to get the smell of alcohol off of me. As silly as it may sound it really shook me up but I know I am lucky I did not sustain a worse injury.

I have never experienced anything like this in my life.  I will never be going back there again no mater who plays as I would feel unsafe.

I can't believe this is the world we live in. It makes me very sad.

On a positive note the show was great and I will post about Belinda and her performance shortly. Unfortunately this has taineted the whole night for me.
