Day 110: 21/12/12 Rang the agency this morning but no work again. I went back to sleep then for a while. Then I rang the department and the immigration office and the teaching agency about my registration being up on the 4/3. It looks like that's the way it's going to be as it was processed on the 4/9, even though I didn't start working until the 19th and that was only for two days. I thought I was being a great girl registering as soon as I could but it obvious...

Day 109: 20/12/12 Another lazy morning! Half twelve starts are the way to go! It was nice to be going to the same place again today as you'd feel like you know how things work there. There were about 15 kids again today, but only three were the same as yesterday! So more names to be learned! They can't say Lorraine at all- Noreen, Lorine.... That ai sound causes problems in the different accents! There were lots of boys today so everything was way noisier and ...

Day 108: 19/12/12 I had until half 12 to get to work today so had a nice sleep in! There was a Christmas card here for me in the morning from Mam and Dad! I don't know if it was posted the same time as the birthday card or not but it only got here now. After waiting ages for buses I got to the childcare centre. It's a small place. There were only 15 kids today as some are gone on holidays and they are all age 3-5 which suits me perfectly! As long as they can ta...

Day 107: 18/12/12 I woke this morning and noticed I had bites on my leg. They were soooooo itchy all day but I managed not to scratch them. Despite putting the cream on them they got bigger all day. Hopefully that's the worst of it. I got a load of bites last week at the koala place. Apart from that I haven't been bitten that much until this morning. I don't know what bit me or when it happened but whatever it was it had a nice chomp for himself!! There was no ...

Day 106: 17/12/12 I was up bright and early to ring the childcare agency at half seven. They had no work but said they'd ring as soon as they'd get anything. So I sat around waiting for a while, but no luck! That day that I rang the agency and then got a teaching job and then the agency rang back must have been a pure fluke! I dossed around on the Internet, listening to music and playing puzzles on the phone while I was waiting for a call. I did eventually get ...
