Im Now finished my probation for being on permeant Fulltime at work, its a awesome place to work everyone is friendly and helpfully and everyday is great sure the work hard and can be stressful but at the end of the day i always have a laugh and have a great feeling I’m doing my best, evening helping out people which is a great feeling. I hope to be a even better assets to the company in the future. I can’t wait.

Hmm so what else is new i know LEGO. This year is already and will continue to be awesome for lego fans.

it was a great year with Tower Bridge Finally in my hands and sit on my desk area in my room looking awesome one of my top 5 sets of all time.

Next is the kingdoms Joust which arrived just before Australia Day again another fantastic set with loads of details.

Lastly is the new city sets. Now i was very on the fence but once i got a few of the sets my opinion quickly change. Apart from the new location just the general build and design are top notice, the new cars are fantastic design and use a lot of studs not on top technics.
