Suprise – Im home! 16 Dec

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

So I arrived in Heathrow, quite looking forward to getting home and suprising everyone.  I went to buy a new sim card for my phone and I remembered how bad the service was in the UK, after half an hour or so I finally got my new mobile number working.  That’s probably the longest i’ve waited for any service since leaving the UK – not to mention the most expensive!  I spent all my last foreign currency in Dubai airport buying cigarettes to sell to make some money when I got home, so I had no money to buy food or drink all day – well it certainly makes you appreciate the plane meals, I was absolutely ravenous!!

After texting a few people I realised I had no chance of getting a lift home on a Sat night without spoiling the suprise so forked out for a taxi.  Luckily Mum and Dad were in and the front door was open so I put my bags down and walked into the lounge – about 5 minutes later Mum realised it was me!!!  What a great night to get home on – I got to watch the X-factor final and then have a fab nights sleep in a double bed – wowow how exciting!!!

Went to see my Sister and her Kids on Sunday which was ace, I was so glad Jodie & James remembered me and spent all afternoon playing with them after promising to come back the next day and take them both swimming.  I was so impressed when we did go swimming, they had both improved so much and were so good, I couldnt believe it.  Spoke to my Bro and his son Harvey on the phone, but will have to wait til after Christmas before I see them again with my new Godson Kai.

Then after hiding away for 2 nights Monday night finally came around – the Poachers Christmas party at TGI Fridays.  I got to the pub first and sat hidden round the corner with Helen and got to see everyone’s reactions when they realised I was there.  Martha was the best, she took nearly as long as Mum to realise!!  I wish I culd have taken pictures of everyones faces!

At least now everyone knows I am back, feels kinda like i’ve never been away really, especially now the suprising everyone is over, nothing else to look forward to – Oh well, best get job searching now to earn some cash!
