Hello guys, I know its been a while, but i've been busy, busy, busy! I was in Perth for 3 days and got a job grape picking! I left the next day for Dunsborough and started working the next day. It was CRAP! We were getting paid less than we were told, less hours work than we were told, the hostel was more expensive than we were told, genuinally just lied to to get us here so I vowed I wasn't going back after that! I trailed around town all day to find work proving unsuccessful I crawled back to the hostel with a bottle of wine to get drunk and drown my sorrows! Fortunatley someone had been in and posted an ad for a cleaner so I called her and she wanted us to start straight away, me and Matt! The next day she picked us up, gave us a car and the rest is history ( as they say) well not quite! We have the car (even on our days off) pick keys up on the morning, clean and drop the keys off on the night. We clean holiday homes and a luxury retreat! Sometimes we finish early so get to spend the afternoon chillin' on the beach which is a bonus, wouldn't be nice working with a view of the beach and not being able to use it! However we soon realised we would be here about 3 months before we had saved enough money for the east coast so someone had the bright idea of going to 'Bunker Bay Quay West Resort (5*) to get a job in the evening. I've only been there a couple of days and i'm dying on my feet. I am tired all the time, my feet hurt really bad and I can see loads of veins in my legs! arrgghh!!!! The only bonus is that you get free champagne and wine which hasn't been drank at functions! I am seriously thinking of jacking it in and maxing my credit card at the moment (I mean I can just pay it when I get home right?) Dunno anyway, we'll have to see. Also i've been told you get 50% tax on yous 2nd job which sucks arse, I thought 30% tax on your 1st job was bad enough. No.1. rule DO NOT START TRAVELLING UNTIL YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY, YOU DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT WANT TO WORK, IT IS NO FUN AND DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A HOLIDAY!!!! On a happier note it is my birthday on tuesday and although i'll be quarter of a century,cries :'-( i've decided to celebrate it in style god knows I need cheering up right now, lol (only joking I know i'm lucky to be in paradise it just sucks having to work thats all) Anyway I am going to swim in the ocean with dolphins and on the afternoon I am going to fly a plane!!!! On the night I am going to cook myself a lovely roast dinner and have A LOT of wine, there is not a lot going on in Dunsborough, even the pub closes at 9 so it will just have to be me and Matt celebrating at the hostel, where there is no one staying!!! Never mind i'm sure i'll be tired anyway off my fun packed day and i'll just want to chill out on a sofa with a roast and glass of wine, mmmm. Also just thought i'd mention my new friend I met from England, who is also called Ellie!! Her name is actually Elisa where mine is Ellise how kool is that her and her boyfriend (Russ) were so nice I was gutted they couldn't stick around for my birthday, it would of been a laugh. Well that's all my news guys apart from the fact i've spent most of my days off putting photos on and updating this site for you, i'm off to the beach now then going to 'Simmo's' for some delish ice cream and giant Jenga! Take care, love and peace Ellie xxx
