Just One Week Left at Work!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED it's unreal! I keep getting giddy! Gutted about the price of the Chinese Visas though, by post it's going to cost us over £200 for the both of us...India was half the price!

It's our penultamate weekend in St.Annes before we go and we're staying in...need to save every penny now it's getting nearer, quiet night with a bottle of wine and a couple of films..perfect!

I'm going to miss everyone lots, there's so many GREAT people around here :)

The last week of work!

Good Morning!

It's just ONE week today until we finish work! Eeeeek! I can't believe this last few weeks have gone so fast, I haven't done much to organise myself... if I'm being honest, apart from the next leg of the trip is all booked and paid for. We are going around the UK to say bye to family and friends and doing it on a budget! Our plan is to first visit Daniels Mum and sister in Northallerton, we are then getting the train directly to my mums in Gloucestershire from there we will be catching a bus to London Victoria and then going on the tube to get to my Uncle Phils and Aunty Fayes in Surrey. Then on from there we get a lift to Brighton and then the last leg is also by car and Ellie and Chris are bringing us back up to St.Annes to see us off!  

I can't believe everything has come around so fast and before we know it we'll be jetting off on our travels!

The last week of work is going to be a strange one, I work two jobs full time and I love them both! I have fantastic customers (well 99%) and I look forward to seeing those who I work with, I will be very sad to leave but also so excited to start a new part of my life!

Bryony's leaving to go to Aus!

Evening!

We've had a fantastic weekend this last week my dear and close friend Bryony is leaving St.Annes to do a year in Australia and as a bit of a leaving do she had a 50's themed party!

Dancing around to 50's classics, drinking far too much Vodka (some of us more than others) and chatting to friends we haven't seen for ages! The night was full of tear jerking speaches, lots of red lipstick and great laughs!

I will miss Bry loads but I will probably see her before most of my other friends, we have plans to meet up for a few weeks in New Zealand if all goes well! I can't wait!

I've told EVERYONE I have come into contact with the days, the minutes and the seconds until I go away! I must be driving them all mad! My lovely customers at the post office hear about the latest news atleast 3 times a day and Jan has been very good not to tell me to shut my gob....YET! I really do appreciate it (even if they have all had to invest in earplugs)!

Now it's your turn! It's 49 DAYS UNTIL WE FLY! Only 3 weeks and 2 days until I finish work!! I'll miss Jan millions she's been a star..infact I'll miss everyone! I am however going to have the time of my life!

So far we have...well...pretty much everything I think! We have both go our backpacks, Daniels is brand new but mine is my mums that she used when she did a 4 month "around the world trip" she insists that I'm taking it for a holiday and that she wants it back :) I think it's quite nice to be able to do the same as my mum did with the same backpack! We also have walking boots that we got off Ebay for half the price they cost anywhere else!

We have compasses, water bottles with special filters, head torches, torches, swiss army knives, vitamin tablets, mosquito nets, waterproof everything, multi-purpose soap, deet mosquito spray, money wallets, first aid kits, portable washing line, travel towels and more medication than you could even imagine! Hopefully we are going to be well prepared :)

It's been a long entry tonight because I really haven't had chance to spend time writing, I'm currently working an 70-80 hour week between the Post Office and Party Animal...I'm Shattered!

Anyway I'll catch up another time I'm taking advantage of some time off and watching a film called Changeling with Daniel.
