I thought I would try this blogging thing as I'm unemployed and it's too cold to go outside. Basically I'm bored, I shouldn't be, it's Christmas, I'm in Madrid and next month I'm off travelling for 3 months! But I am bored, why?
I moved to Madrid nearly 2 years ago having previously lived in Barcelona, and Mallorca. I'm not a fan of Madrid and would have left shortly after I arrived had I not met him and then had the misfortune to be promoted at work.
We did the whole thing, weekends away, met the parents, parents met the parents, got the flat, life in Madrid was bearable for a while. Despite the extreme weather conditions and slow walking people. Then he lost his job, I got made redundant, we planned a big ass trip to Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
Living together is one thing, being at home together all day every day, is quite another. He did moody and stroppy, I favoured bickering, and temper tantrums with tears. We soon realised that we actually had far less in common then we had previously thought. That was the end of that.
So here I am in Madrid, cold, bored, preparing for my first Christmas alone and counting down to flying far, far away.
As for the blog lets see how I cope maintaining it, Twitter and Facebook!

Much more fun reading than I expected. You have a very chatty style which is very enjoyable to read. i was only going to glance at it but got enthralled.
See you again when you get home
