Hi everyone!!
Well we are still in our flat and still jobless each day has pretty much been the same so I wont bore you with a day to day account but basically we have got up at about lunch time, watched Ellen, had a shower, gone a walk and looked for jobs on the net, home for tea and then tv and reading before bed!! I do not know how people can be unemployed, it is so boring!!
I'm just gonna list anything worth knowing instead as all days have kinda merged into one and I don't know what day I did anything lol!
I got decorations from a Chinese type Ali's Cave and decorated our living room.
We got the electric switched on and the fridge started working, it was so nice to have a hot shower and for the food to not go off lol!!
We went Christmas shopping in Sydney and set ourselves a $50 limit each and we just picked our things, I got a top and 2 dresses for that not bad for about £20 and Craig got shorts and a t-shirt. Then we went to the cinema to see Four Holidays which was quite good and when we came out we bumped into Andy and Jane again so we went and had a drink with them.
Last Friday we had an email from Simon who we met at Rainbow Beach who is from Clermiston asking if we wanted to meet up at night, it was chucking down with rain constantly the whole day but we decided to go out anyway and meet him but he wasn't there so we checked my email and it had been the day before so we got back on the train and went home and then we got caught on the train with Student ID cards not valid, its International but not valid in New South Wales (joke) and Craig had also bought tickets for the stop before the one we needed and since there was conductors on board we got off and trekked up the road in the wet, the brolly doing nothing, then tried to call the travel agent but it cut off and then my card didn't work to top it up, so frustrating, by the time we got home we were just jumping in the puddles, it was actually kinda fun!!
Ryan took us down to Bondi Beach a few days ago which is a nice beach with good waves for jumping about in but is full of tourists and it is not a big beach so it is totally mobbed plus you can only swim between the flags so the surfers can go at the other bits and therefore it is even more mobbed in the sea but worth seeing. I was surprised we actually made it there as Ryan is a shocking driver and almost drove head on into someone on he wrong side f the road twice and does some highly illegal moves to get a place in front etc and my seatbelt was not working on the way there , don't think I'll be going in that car again!!
That's pretty much it really. We have found it practically impossible to get jobs there are no responses to phone calls, emails or anything so we have decided to cut our losses and just leave here after new year as we are just wasting money sitting here doing nothing. So we are now leaving here 6th Januray and have cut down our time in Africa by shortening our tour and volunteer placements and also our South America tour too to get some money back to bring down the cost a bit. We will now be just flying through London and not stopping off as we will be home 11th June. I'm quite happy we are doing I this way as we are not really missing much out and its cutting the costs a lot and we will be home a wee bit sooner which will be nice and I'll be home in time for my sister's prom too!
At the moment we are just waiting on the refund money back from the travel agent, they are due us about £1200 so I wish they would hurry up we have been calling all week and supposedly any day now it will be in which is good as we don't have a penny now lol!
That's pretty much everything really apart from MY SISTER COMES TOMORROW!!! So I am just getting all the bed clothes washed and trying to make the flat look more presentable and I am gonna wrap my Christmas presents today as well. Im getting all excited about it now as it's a bit sooner, hopefully we can find some Christmassy things to do when Chloe gets here as it doesn't feel that much like Christmas now that the weather is better and its really humid lol!! Cany wait for the New Year fireworks and our wee stay at The Sheraton, aaahhhh luxury!!!
Hope you are all well at home!!!
Lots of Love
Eva and Craig xxx
