Leaf Blowers

Good evening (middle of the night). I have to get something of my chest. Fucking leaf blowers.

This morning at 7am I was RUDELY awaken by the council skivvies with jet packs strapped to the fat bodies blowing leafs about the grounds of my flat. Blowing leafs. Blowing where?? 2 FUCKING FEET ahead of themselves and into the bushes. And what happens when they go 2 feet ahead of themselves??? The blow the fucking leafs a further 2 feet and into the bushes. WHY??

Why does it make ANY sense to the council to BLOW leafs into the road and hedge when there is no one around to scoop it up??? I walked out of my flat today onto the pavement which I admit was relatively leaf free.. but then crossed the road and needed one of those axe like things you would usually use to cut down wheat!!! ALLLLL the leafs in the land were on the road. And the bushes??? Covered in dust.

To sum up... grey dusty bushes, unwalkable roads.

Thanks for waking me up and making my place look shitter than it was earlier.

Just Happy :-)

Good Sunday afternoon readers :-)

I just wanted to report that I am really happy. Genuinely proper content, relaxed and happy with everything at the moment. Things are slotting into place, getting organised, aren't going to quick but certainly aren't going to slow.. I'm just really happy!

Genuinely believe I am bi-polar and should be on drugs but when I am feeling this fantastic, I couldn't possibly want to take any drugs that could make me numb :D

Today, I woke up (well was woken up at various stages by Emily since 5am.. she is back from holiday) and read a bit of my book that David got me for Christmas (thank you!), watched a bit of Hollyoaks and then got up. I plodded my little feets to the balcony with my book, a yoghurt, a mug of green tea and lemon, some Belvita bicuits (who ever invented those BTW, fucking LEGE). And I just sat there. Quietly.

And gloriously it started to rain really gently. I have a fantastic view of the hills so I watched, as the birds tweeted away, the clouds slowly moving through the trees. The breeze was really slight and the rain main a beautiful noise on the ground and leafs. The air smelled really fresh. I love England. I will miss you xx

How long does it take to get a warrant?!

So I'm getting ready for work this morning, applying make up at my little window ledge make up station when I see a police car. Then another one. Then another. Then a fourth. They all get out their cars and stare towards my building. I see someone walk up the path to the main door.. I continued to apply too much bronzer.

BUUZZZZ. My buzzer. Fuck. What have I done now?!! So I go to answer the buzz (which was loud btw, nearly crapped myself) and a female officer asks for some Mr something. I said "sorry? Flat 3 yeah?", she ignored that and repeated another name. "is Mr Brewin there?". "No" I tell her and off she pops. She then gets on her little walky talky and says "female states he isn't there, may need a warrant".

NO idea who they are looking for, no idea if they are getting a warrant and no idea what they want!! But I was expecting to come home from work and find my entire house raided.

So I am sending the rucksack back tomorrow because it is SHIT. I have cancelled my Santander bank account and am in the process of transferring all my savings and wages back over to HSBC. I have put myself on the electoral roll and checked my credit rating.. I'm pretty sure once that goes through I should be in their excellent range :D woop woop! Loanage!

I need to figure out what to do with my stuff. I don't want to sell it because I won't get half of what I paid and won't be able to afford to get it back when I come back home. Dilemma!!

So how are you?

Dairy is an anagram for Devil Food Group

OoooOooh WHY will I not learn??? WHY?? I had a glass of milk on Thursday, cheese on my chips Friday, and Saturday ate/drank a milkshake. I now have the most hideous stomach ache on Earth. I won't trust dairy products whilst I'm abroad though so problem shall be 100% resolved once I am out there!

Today has been all about the backpack. What rucksack to take?! I visited Millets and found a really good one but it was £70. I've found another on Ebay that is similar so I may perhaps purchase that one. My money bag and sleeping bag have both arrived and today I have bought a travel towel and a travel pillow, and I may buy a first aid kit and a camera later on today.

SO jealous at the camera Craigy bought. It was the one I was looking at for £50.00 but the frigger got there before me lol. Complete coincidence, he didn't know I was looking at it - it was an Ebay deal of the day.

Back track slightly to last night - I MUST learn not to text ridiculous status updates to Facebook and remember that 10 double sourz with a triple tequila and half a litre of vodka does not end up with you feel happy. Thank Christ though that I did not kiss any of my friends this time. Although Newton may have.... mwhahahahahahaha!!

Dirty. I am also dirty.. need to shower. I think I started todays blog to say something funny and now I can't remember what it was.. damn alcohol has stolen my brain cells :( I'll be back when I remember it!

It's all a bit real now

Flights booked. Insurance bought. I have spent £1.3k this month on travel stuff.

Very bad news though - loan was declined. Very, very bad news. I'm not sure what to do there because I am going to need to buy a few things here before I go out like a good camera and a decent backpack and the like. Why oh WHY did overtime have to end at work??? I'd of been fine if it stayed.

I'm less nervous now then I was a couple of days ago because Green Ghekos have asked me to come and work with them for 3 months woop woop!!

Also been talking to a few people of TravBuddy so I'm going to meet tons of new people. And rooms and travel out there are so bloody cheap!!!!! Can't wait to start me adventure.. by the way this will be what my blogs are all about going forward lol xx

IT'S BOOKED!!!!

I'VE DONE IT!!!!! I've actually booked and paid for my ticket. I am actually crapping myself now. I've been thinking and planning and pondering for far too long.. so. That's it!! Done.

First stop is Dubai for a couple of hours and then Bangkok. From there though I am a bit lost. I had planned on doing this tour through STA Travel but as it turns out, they don't do it the way I wanted to go. So.. I am open to ideas! I want to be in Cambodia for 3-4 months though but from 30th November I should be in Kualar Lumpar heading out to Oz.

From Melbourne I plan to stay and do some work. 6 months doing some good hard work and some very hard playing! I can't wait. Can't wait to spend Christmas on the beach!!!!!!

SO NERVOUS!!!!

Such soft skin

I have fallen for everything Apricot Scrub. My skin is majorly soft which is a blessing in this hard water area.. I wonder if I can take it with me when travelling?

I was looking on the green gheko website today at the stuff they want people to bring with them, and they ask for as many metal nit combs as possible... yikes. I'm going to get nits!!! I reckon in the long run though it might be ok :) life changing experience I presume.

I was just also looking over my blog a few days ago where I was pancking about my interview. I have 100% made the right decision - I clearly am not ready to go back to uni yet when I have these major desires to go travel.

I'm sat here in my towel at the moment, letting my hair dry in the most outrageous style so I best go and sort that out soon.. but I'm itching to book my ticket. SO afraid though that I won't have the money to cope once I am over there, and once I am over there I will have no one to rely on to get some urgent money over to me.

Give me 10 minutes, let me relook at finances :) I could save £600 by not booking a tour with STA travel around Laos and Vietnam.. but I also don't want to get really friggin lost and it is a perfect way to meet new like minded traveller type folk. Hmm dilemma... give me 10 mins!!
