Email... + scary job thing…
I made a bit of a boo-boo. I sent out a big group email to everyone letting them know my plans & I when arrive in London etc & I sent it to my ex's girlfriend too...
Oops. The funny thing is that she's one of the first to send me back a reply. I actually really surprised myself when I read the email & I found myself smiling when I read what they're going to name the baby (in a nice way!). I don't think I mind the whole nicey, nicey thing so much anymore & I'm genuinely happy for them. This is the email...
"Hi Rach, It's good to hear you are ok. I guess everyone is worried that you're in the Middle East given what we see on the news everyday. It sounds like you are having so much fun travelling and sightseeing. London will be heaps different and I heard really expensive as well. I don't think you will have too much trouble finding work as most people I know got jobs really easily. No one wants to work! Hehehe well at least I don't want to:)
Nothing too exciting has been happening in Sydney. K and R had there wedding last weekend. Food and atmosphere was great! It was a long day for everyone and at the end of the night they fully trashed R car with whipped creamed, toilet paper and cans. Lets just say it wasn't a pretty sight.
We are busily preparing for the little ones arrival which we have been told is Feb 14.. Valentines day. I'm hoping not on that day but we'll see what happens. We've found out that it's a boy and we've decided to name him Alex Lee. He is quite feisty already kicking me all day long.. Especially after I eat.
Keep posting your updates when you can as we love reading them.
Take care
P.S The tongue ring sounds like it hurts!!"
I didn't post the above before so thought I'd quickly add to it…
I just checked my emails & am freaking out a bit. The other night I was looking at jobs on gumtree.com just to see what's about, I'd actually decided not to apply for any jobs till I got to the UK cause I thought it would be to much hassle. I read quite a few jobs & then one of them jumped out at me & I was like I've got to apply for it. I can't quite explain it, it was a little strange. So I did my thing & applied. The interviews were supposed to be today & of course I'm not even in England yet but I get this response…
"Liked your reply to your our ad. You sound just the job. Don't worry about changing your flights. Just come straight on up to us when you land. You should go to Victoria bus station in London and ask for a ticket to: Hanley city centre bus station Stoke-on-Trent. We are 5 mins walk at the other end. We will come and meet the bus if you let us know the time or simply call us when you arrive and we will pop up to find you.
If you do want to or can, the other alternative is to fly to either
Manchester , Birmingham or west midlands Airports. We are about 45 mins
drive from any of these and would be happy to come and meet you at the
airport.
All the best and very much look forward to seeing you"
Ummm, I know nothing about England geography & have no clue where it is I've actually applied for a job. It's a live in bar position & I think it could be a lot of fun. All accommodation & meals are included & I'd be earning 170+ pounds a week without the expense of London. The other thing is that they only need someone up till Christmas which means I can work my butt off save money then probably bugger off Jan, Feb, March travelling again before getting back to the UK in April/May to work some more… Ok, jumping ahead of myself. If I get the job I think it could be good, there's a 2 week trial period so the worst that could happen is that I spend a few weeks somewhere new… Ok, not freaking so much now, remembering to breathe… Nope still freaking out don't know why but I am… This would be good though, it'd kinda easing me back in to real life without the worry of having to finding somewhere to live & paying bills…
Oh, & tongue ring is going great guns – tongue still swollen but I'm on to scrambled eggs & soft potatoe now. You can't actually see the tongue ring when I talk & it hasn't really affected how I talk so I'm pretty happy.
