Monday 30th AprilJournal brought to you by a very excited SophieToday we sorted out getting me some more glasses! I am so excited! I hate the damn things but when you don't have them you miss them so unbelievably much. Anyway I went into possibly the most expensive optometrist (opticians to you people stuck in England) and had an eyetest and chose my glasses. I swear it was the Gucci of the eye world. It was ridiculous how expensive it was but I am desperate ...

We went to reception to check out and were made to pay a day charge for being on...

Thursday 26th AprilJournal brought to you by the Pizza Eating Legend (Sophie)This morning I went to the bathroom and ran into Elvis outside our front door - it was quite a scary experience. I ran into the room and everyone had a peek from the safety of the hut. Chris kept a safe distance away - he was truly terrified. WIMP!
