Nothing really new to note with the jobs, just learning the ropes about interviewing and what to look for on CV's etc, Adam enjoying working with Aaron, not particularly the job! On Wednesday I had a nice chat with Olivia which was good to catch up. As its my birthday tomorrow, Adam gave me one of my presents early which was some gorgeous Opal earrings, which is special as its the stone of Australia! I love them!! Skyped mum and got some awful news about my best friends mum so that put a real downer on the night. I decided I was going to go home so I could be with Hollie and started looking at flights but because it was such short notice they were just so expensive! To try and cheer me up a bit Adam gave me my other birthday present early which was some black converse that I had seen and wanted!! Aaron and Alex had been out to the cinema and came back and had bought me some flowers for my birthday which was lovely. On my actual birthday, I told Paul at work that I was thinking of going home for a couple of weeks which he said was ok but the more I looked for flights I realised that I just wasn't going to be able to afford. Jayne very kindly said that she would lend me the money for a flight and Adam said he was happy to do that but it would have taken us ages to pay her back and we needed to have a deposit to get our own place. I told Hollie that I wasn't going to be able to come home and she said that she wouldn't have wanted me to spend all that money coming home anyway, which made me feel a bit better, although I still want to be there for her. Also after weeks and weeks of asking, Adam eventually got paid for a job that he did at home before we left that he had been chasing and chasing which was good, although its not good that it took to say that someone had passed away and I needed to come home to get the money!!
After work on Friday, I went out for a couple of drinks with Jenna and Andy from work before meeting Alex and a few of her friends and AJ for a curry. The food was good but I was so full after that I didn't feel like going out!!
On Saturday Adam and Aaron spent the day making the back garden look nice, they bought loads of flowers and plants and even planted a herb garden!! AJ flew to Brisbane again early morning and is driving down with Rowley and the dogs, they get back tomorrow. I got a couple of bits in the sale at a shop called Cotton On, its a bit like H&M maybe... Adam, Aaron & Julian were playing at a bar in North Strathfield called Cookies for a party so Alex and I decided to go too. It was a good night but a bit of a trek on the train!! The party was held upstairs in the bar in what was essentially a cordoned off area of a multi-story car park!! On Sunday, Aaron & Alex went to a couple of their friends in Manly so Adam and I went for a wander around Manly whilst they were at their house, we just had a walk on the beach front and went for something to eat at a little back-street Italian place, it was nice. We went to Coles as well to get some new washing powder as the one at home was irritating Adam's skin. Adam & Aaron decided to go fishing when we got back so Adam and I traipsed around Manly trying to find some bait which was fruitless. They ended up calling at a fishing place at the fish market to get some on the way home. Alex's friend Lou was having another leaving do, her mate Paul was having a BBQ at his house for her so Alex and I went straight there and Adam & Aaron said they would come a bit later after fishing.
By the time we got home, Jayne and Rowley were back with their 2 dogs, Marley and Mini.
