My very own blog

Wow, I finally did it. My Uncle mentioned I should start one of these up, so here I am!

My name is Mandy and I am 3 week away from turning 23 years old. I currently live in Sutherland, NSW with my Fiance Clay. We have been together for a little over 2 years now.

I work in a very small subsidiary of a very large company - close to home, which is great cos I normally wake up at 8am (My whole working life I have wanted to work close to home). Tomorrow marks my one year anniversary with this company (uumm... yay?!) and I bet I'll receive no trophy for putting up with moronic customers. We get a lot of tire kickers (people who want to waste your time picking your brain but won't buy anything). Suffice to say, I hate customers.

Moving right along, I might tell you a bit about my family...

I am the youngest of two girls - My only full blood sibling is Kelly, 24.

Mum and Dad are not together - Haven't been since I was 2 or 3. Mum (Donna) is currently is a relationship with a really cool guy named Vic, and I have never seen her so happy. Vic has two daughters of his own (who both adore Mum). Dad (Andrew) is married to Amne (8 years now) and I have a step Sister (Samah, 19) and a half Sister (Elena, 5).

Growing up I lived with Mum and visited my Grandparents (Dad's side) almost every second weekend. I like to think that alot of my creativity came from Nan (Pam) - she was always doing something interesting - planting bulbs, knitting clothes for my barbie dolls, massive jigsaw puzzles etc.

Another person who impacted my life while growing up is my Uncle Dave (Mum's brother). I'm sure my interest of computers was helped along by Dave. He introduced me to the computer game called Quake and showed me how to design my own game levels (however, mine were always a little bit lax). I could sit for hours watching Dave design his levels.
