Im off in 3..........2............1...................

Today is the big day, o f***, what have I let myself in for?? lol.  I think I may be a tad bit nervous!!
Its only a quick one today, as I'm sure you could guess I'm a bit rushed n feeling a little hectic.

Just a few thanks, Mark cheers for letting me stay on your couch for a while and destroy your house, everyone who came last night.  Clairey, for being so awesome about this trip.  For anyone who doesn't know, as Claire has one more year at uni, this is a perfect time for me to spend a year away from this islands.  I am going to miss her and everyone on lil ol Guernsey.

Gotta run, my ride to the airport is nearly here, its funny how I have managed to squeeze my entire life in to a medium suitcase and a back pack.

See you on the other side

Less than a week

Right,

So its 6 days until I'm off, and this week has been busy and, well, eventful.

Staying at marks required me to do some gardening, as payment for staying in his 'spare room', also known as the couch in the lounge...... lol!  Ok, so I got on with the gardening and managed to use the hedge trimmer to cut its own power cable and short out the house, use the strimmer to find the cutting cable wasnt attached properly and watched it fly across the garden, put a tree through the garage door all the while cutting my legs up on thorns, woo.

Trying to loose weight and get active, cycling to and from the pub seemed like a great idea! After borrowing Chris' bike, and pumping up those flat tires to 60psi, off I trot down the half way hill.  Enjoying myself a bit too much I really hammered it, only to then have the rear tire explode and nearly send me skidding the rest of the road.  The band was soooo loud people came out of their house to see what they thought was a big car crash...... Nope, its just lil ol me, walking back up the hill to marks............

Rest of this week, I'll be mostly spending it with friends and anyone who wants to come say goodbye.  Tomorrow (thurs) Claire is coming back to see me (YAY!) so that will be a fun filled few days I can tell you :D Monday evenings we'll all be going down to port grah (beach near peninsula hotel) for a large fire and some drinky fun times.  Dont be put off by cold, the fire will be big and very very warm.  If it rains, will think of something else to do.

Anyway, I got a bun in the oven.  Although over weight I am not pregnant, just some half cooked bread that needs a lil bit o warmth.

Byes

2 Weeks and Counting!

Hey y'all

Only 13 days now until I start my adventure, and my god, I thought it would be different.  After booking the course, I thought to myself, after sorting out all my loose ends, I'd be spending the last 3-4 weeks lounging around not doing anything.  Boy was I wrong.

Today, I got up at 8:00 and did a full day CCTV work, gym and other stuff, and this story seems to be occuring everyday.  Looking forward to the weekend, need time to chill-lax!!! Also still trying to figure out what I'm going to do for my leaving party, time is running out, ideas anyone??

Well, not to be boring you, Im going to keep this weeks details as short as possible.

My goals for Australia:

1. Loose A LOT of weight and get in to mega good shape
2. Explore as much as possible
3. Have a dam good time!
4. Dive the great barrier reef
5. Learn to ride a horse (Need to complete number 1 first)
6. Go on a Minjin Swing (google it)

There is a lot more things I want to do, b.ut those are the main

Living is Guernsey and working behind a desk has made me lazy and over-weight.  Looking forward to hot weather and hard work, roll on being fit!

Anyway, as its the first night I have that I'm not doing anything, I will endeavor to drink some more beers, watch some TV and have a lazy night in.  I got scuba diving tomorrow at 9AM, ladies bathing pool, if anyone is bored enough to come watch, lol!

I will try to make me next blogs more interesting.  And remember, when I leave, I wont have my normal mobile number or facebook, this will be the only way to get hold of me!!!

Wuv you all x
