Yeah thats right the queen of indecision reigns again! Its just that as it was starting to get really cold here I remembered how much I hated the cold!! SOOOO..... my plan in my head now goes something along these lines.....Go to America and meet up with Brendon. Travel around for a couple of weeks. Head to Florida and try to get a job on cruise ship. Work on cruise ships over the winter (yay warm weather!) and then maybe head to Canada in the spring to work in bars or whatever. After that heead over to UK about june July. Of course you realise that this will all change next week!! I also managed to get media accreditation for the Rugby World Cup - not entirely sure what this means so am trying to find out.ie do I still have to pay for tickets etc. I'm sure tho that France will be hideously expensive during this time! So not sure if I can really afford it. Well thats about it. Freakin cold here and I'm currently house sitting in a place with only 2 fan heaters for heating brrr.... ...

Yip thats right. The Canadian Embassy has issued me with a "letter of introduction'" which is basically what they call their entrance visa. Woohoo! They're gonna let me in - obviously not many of my stories have gotten around ha ha. So I'm planning to leave in about early Sept prob around the 10th. Then going to LA. From there, its one of two options. #1 Meet up with my boyfriend Brendon [who just left the other day so I'm feeling all sorry for myself right now! :( ] and then we spend a couple of weeks travelling around the states before heading up to work in Canada now that we both have working visas for there. Then after about 9 months there we would head to the UK to do the 2 yr working thing before turning 31. Option #2 is to go to LA. Maybe or maybe not spend time in USA travelling around and then later in the month heading to France for the Rugby World Cup. You see, my darling Brendon managed to weedle his way into getting media accreditation for the World Cup as a ...

Yip thats right, its been over a year since I wrote anything on this space! I can't believe how time got away on my when really I haven't been doing that much. So what HAVE I been doing in the past year??? Well still at the same job - a lab technician. Unfortunately the job I used to love is no longer and instead I'm pretty bored by it now as its no longer challenging. So am I going to change my job soon you may ask... well YES I AM! In fact in about 5 to 6 months I'm planning to head to Canada to be a ski bum and work at a ski field over there. Its always been something I've wanted to try so I thought I should do it before I got too old and decrepid and couldn't get into the country under a working holiday scheme anymore (gotta get there before my 31st birthday!). So I'm pretty much just biding my time job-wise until I head overseas. Hopefully after the ski season I'm thinking I might head down the west coast of the US and then go into Central then South America. I've been ...

Hidey hi campers Yip so its that time again - Christmas. The time when department stores don't stop playing christmas carols, children get the greedy gleam of presents in their eyes and your credit card is maxxed out!! Sigh! (thruthfully I love the cheesey christmas carols tho :-) ) So what have i been up to - well it feels like its been so much but when i think about it, it sounds like bugger all! Celebrated my birthday in November and had a barrel of a time (yeah bad pun i know!). For those who I haven't told, i went to a greek restaurant for my birthday where if its your birthday they make you dance on a barrel and then do some group, greek dancing - totally fun, aside from the shot of ouzo they made me have (why would anyone choose to drink that stuff is beyond me!). Work is still really good. Loving it and the people are fab. Had our work christmas party a few weeks ago which went well, and yes, i was again one of the last ones standing!! (or stumbling, ...
