House Fire (12th December 2006)

These are the horrible photo's of Sue and Dave's house burning down. Not very pleasant to look at these knowing that all our stuff was in the house but we can't do anything now.

Bearer Of Bad News

I know I haven't been updating much lately, but been busy with sorting things before we go home and the laptop hasn't been working for ages.

Anyway, this post is to inform people who don't already know:

There was a fire on Tuesday 13th Dec, which got out of control and burnt down Ian's Parents house. Everyone is ok, but everything was lost. Some 58 year old idiot was burning rubbish behind his house and the fire got out of hand (there is a complete fire ban around Australia bythe way). All our belongings that got shipped over was in the house aswell.

It's been a very stressful few days. Ian is safely back in Aus with his family, and unfortunately I still have 2 more days left in England before i get back.

I promise the next post won't be so shocking and depressing but I thought you should know.

Nearly The End

Today we worked out all teh shifts we have left before we go. All the rotas have been written, and it's final........

I HAVE 22 SHIFTS LEFT
IAN HAS 26 SHIFTS LEFT


How awesome is that. I'm counting down the days.

We have 1 and a half Sundays left......
A month and 3 days left before my flight......
2 and a half weeks til our leaving do........

Can't wait........

Australia here we come (BACK)....

Tom C's Going Away Drinks

Last night we had a boys night out for a going away do for Tom. It was a great evening. We went to the Cricketers for a few drinks, which then led us to Cameleon in Woking (nobody actually wanted to go to Cameleon, but didnt want the night to end). We all got really drunk, so it must of been a good evening.

Phil, Straver, Walker, Tom, Tommy, Michael, Myself and Ian all went out.

Lauren's Birthday (Halloween)

Have you ever seen Harry Potter Drunk?

Well you have now.

It was a fantastic evening spending it with Lauren and her friends. We all were shitfaced, and getting our jig on at The Oceana in Kingston. I've never celebrated anyones birthday on Halloween before. Any excuse to dress up I spose. Loved it.

Little Britain

We saw Little Britain Live on Monday with Ian's parents.It was classic, I had the biggest pains in my sides from Laughing so hard. We went as a surprise present for Ian's Parents, which they seemed to enjoy. I'm glad we got the tickets for the extra shows because I tried to get some last year but were all sold out by the time we realised that we were staying for the year.




We've now got more tickets booked for March next year because Joanne wants to go see it (they are coming to Perth by the way) so she twisted our arms (not much twisting was needed tho). So I can't wait. The only downfall of having to wait that long is that we are going to have the DVD before we see it again.............

Guy Fawks

We went to the fireworks in Chobham with Sue and Dave, and it as awesome. We saw Anthony and Astrid. It was great. We got back from up North from seeing all the family (Aunty Janet and Dot n Barry)........

I didnt get scared from the fireworks either....... We got some photo's that I should post on here later........ It was awesome.....

Gas Leak

At Work, I got the lunchtime off. Unfortunately it's fixed now so I have to go in tonight....damn........

I spose the money will do me good tho......

News At Hand

I fucking washed my Passport................................................

I have to get another before I go home....... 7 weeks away..... not impressed.

Our Packing

Here are the joys of our life while we were packing our boxes to ship back home. It was a shithole for awhile......but thankfully are on their way home.

Tent

I just noticed that I haven't posted any of my own photo's on the blog for about 7 weeks, so I thought I'd post our lovely headquarters for the time that Ian's parents are staying with us. Thankfully (at the moment) we are in our own bed, but unfortunately it doesn't last....on Saturday we have to go back in and sleep in luxury....hehehehe

It's really not that bad. It's quite cosy and cuddly.

Lauren's Birthday

For Lauren's Birthday (which is on Halloween) we are all dressing up and going out to Oceana. I'm going as Harry Potter. The theme she came up with was Superheroes/Disney Characters. I didn't particularly wanna go as Eeyore or anything like that (and I shipped my Superman Outfit back home, so I couldn't even reuse that outfit, altho it would of beena bit too cold to wear that in England). So that's going to be abit exciting. Havent spoken to her for ahile to see what's ahppening, I spose I should do that soon.

Hen's Reunion Update

It was an awesome night out. We went out to Twickenham (dunno how to spell it) and got quite drunk.

It started off at Christies Mum's house where we all were to meet before going into town. Upon arrival, we found a fake hand, so decided to play jokes with it for the rest of the night. We were all in fits of laughter. We drank quite alot before we left, so there were a couple of people who were well on their way before stepping foot out of the house. We ended up walking to The Cabbage Patch, which is right in town. There was a huge debate about how far it really was (eventually it would of taken about half a hour walk) altho we did stop in a wine bar on the way (forced Astrid to drink a Manhatten, cause she said she'll have what I'm drinking and found the worst thing I could imagine having).

When we actually arrived to The Cabbage Patch, we had to pay £10 entry per head (we couldn't believe it, but paid cause we had no choice). The music started off shit, but improved as the night went on. We were all shouting to the music (and I woke up with the sorest throat, which I'm still suffering with). It was a great night out. I didn't go to bed til about 5am Sunday morning. And with only 5 hours sleep worked last night (which just dragged on, all I wanted to do was sleep).

Hen's Reunion

Tonight we are going out with the girls we were out with on the Hen Weekend. I can't believe it's already 3 months since we were in Portugal. It's gonna be nice cause we haven't seen these girls since the Wedding. Unfortunately the only person I know that won't be there is Alice (cause she's got other plans) but I think everyone else will be there (I know Jess is, Yay).

Our Tent Experience

The tent isnt as bad as I first thought. The first night out in the tent was awful. It was bloody cold and uncomfortable, but we have now fixed these problems and the past few nights sleep have been quite good. You hear all the noises from around the Counsil Estate, but other than that it's pretty good.

London

We took Ian's parents into London today. We went mainly shopping, visiting Hamley's, Lilywhites, Harrod's (where we bought some Christmas decorations) and wandered around Oxford Street and Regent Street.

Our legs were killing us by the time we finished walking.

Now we are relaxing watching Little Britain.

Dentist

It was my last visit for the dentist in England. I had to get a tooth extracted (which is still numb but really gross). I'm glad I don't have to go again for awhile. It's still bleeding (which isn't very nice).

Ian's Parents

Ian's parents arrive on Saturday, and we have to sleep in a tent (B&B's are too expensive to rent for 2 weeks). I hope the weather stays nice (cause I wont be able to handle camping in wet weather (or a thunder storm, I'd get scared).......

We'll see how it goes.....

Am excited to see his parents again tho......it's been nearly a year since I saw them over christmas last year...........
