London one-way!

It’s ANZAC Day today. I was looking forward to a 7 hour time-and-a-half shift with one of my favourite girls, but alas, I’m stuck at home on the couch. Yesterday I rolled my ankle on shift, drove the kid home, went to work and stuck an ice pack on and ended up having mum come and take me to hospital. X-rays showed it was a bad sprain, leaving me on crutches for at least the next four days. And mum was worried about me going paintballing before we left!

I found myself with four free hours this morning, after a shift was decreased, so what else should I find myself doing but trying out my new suitcase. I took all the clothes I want to take with me and put them on my bed. Then I sorted them into pants, skirts/shorts/dresses, and tops. From there I culled certain items and fit them all in, weighing the suitcase and finding it at 15kgs.

Hmm, them’s a lot of clothes! So I’ve bought a few space bags to make a few jumpers and all my denim stuff fit in smaller (who would’ve known I’d had so much denim – 3 skirts, shorts, 3/4 shorts, and 2 jeans – far out)! This isn’t even including pj’s, swimwear or underwear. Not too much of a big deal, I’m allowed to take 30kgs altogether, and I don’t think the backpack will have a lot in it – just shoes!

Did I mention I want to take 8 pairs of shoes with me?!

A sigh of relief comes tonight and it's all thanks to Daniella at the British High Commission. She has been looking after my visa application, and has been conversing with the passport department about my applications. Basically I explained the ... [Continue reading this entry]

Lija texted me last night to say "OMG I can't believe it's April 1st, not long to go now, how exciting!"

My reply wasn't so positive. "SHIT"

Yes, until 2pm today I have been panicking that I may have to delay my ... [Continue reading this entry]
