Hi all,

Its bank holiday monday here so no work woooooop wooooop! well, its not really that good because it means i only get four days pay,yikes!!

Me and my flatmates put down our deposit for our west coast trip the other day so we have come to realise just how much we are going to have to budget!! Especially me since i have melbourne, fiji and america to think about too. Although i think i can stay at friends houses in melbourne so thats good. Kathryn and sarah have just emailed me a place to stay in fiji so it looks like we'll be getting that all sorted out too - the place looks amazing!!

Me and my flatmates have decided to not to go out for the four remaining weekends (not that i've been out in perth AT ALL) so we can save money. i have to say i have had one of the funniest nights ever just sitting in the backgarden!! Saturday evening we sat out the back drinking and chatting and decided to amuse ourselves with a game of cards.8 hours later we were still playing cards!!!! We just got soooo into the game that time seemed irrelevant. I forgot how excited I get with competitive card games!!

I haven't joined the white hooded clan in case you are wondering, its a scottish poncho the girls sent over !! It kept me well toasty all evening. im going to try and add my first video to this sight - its me in my poncho and it really freaks me out!!

Things are okay in the flat. We had pest control in for the 5th time on saturday and it looks like we are finally clear of bed bugs. The two girls that moved in are a bit shall we say 'rough' but we dont see them much as they work weekends, we work during the week so it's fine.

Hope you are all good - 2 months left before you are all going to have to put up with me again!!!!
