Cat's diary of Oz

Hello, I bet you all thought that I had forgotten about this blog...... well I haven't.....its just been a busy couple of days!!!! My apologies in advance for no picture today.....i know I am hopeless, but I haven't had a chance to take much photo's and its raining, I would much prefer for the waether to be really lovely, and then that will make you lot more jealous ha ha!!!! I know I am very nasty!!!! Well where do I start, leaving home and the aiport was really hard, I honestly thought that I would turn back.....I was walking around Heathrow airport just crying........but once I arrived in Sydney I realised that I had made the right decision. This is a small planet as it is, and I want to see the world so I have to do this, and so far so good I am enjoying it!!!! The Wake Up hostel is really really nice, there are lockers in all the bedrooms and it is very very clean (for all you OCD people out there), and for the boys.....the men's toilet and wash room is very very ...

I woke up this morning scared and excited because in a weeks time i would be at Manchester airport checking in. Its scary because the time has arrived sooooooooo quickly. I thought that I would have plenty of time do everything in my much prefered 'go with the flow style', but I'm in an instant rage of panic......i need to pack, sort my 'minimalist wardrobe' out and sort out my bedroom that currently looks like a 'bomb site'!!!!!! I tried to phone Australia last night to say hello to my auntie's friend Kath, but no answer. I have been trying to text Australia (on friday night when i was very very drunk!!!!) but somehow I wasn't able to send the text..........I think the best plan is to send the text when I am sober and control of what I am doing. I went out for a 'quiet' meal with my friend Katie on friday night to a 'nice family pub', but it was far from a quiet drink.....I wish I could tell you more about the night but after the ...

The closer the time gets the more excited I become. I have just been to get my currency....I've never seen Australian Dollars and they weren't what i expected them to look like, I thought they would look like US dollars....but how wrong was I!!!!! Today my friend Rhian told me that she is going to come out to Sydney in mid November, so I've told her that I will pick her up from the airport......hopefully by then I will know my way around a bit, well if I don't then I am sure that I will find someone that does. It will be strange seeing a familiar face so soon after I arrive, but I will be really happy to see her. Before I forget I would like to say a big thank you to Angela and Sussann. Angela has bought me a really really cute ipod so when I get home sick I can listen to the tunes that remind me of home, and come on now how cool will i look when I'm going for a long jog on Bondi ha ha!!! I would also like to thank Sussann for giving me a St Christopher chain to ...

Well there is not long to go til i head on the plane. At the moment is doesn't feel real at all. I do have moments when I'm really excited and am looking forwards to making new friends (cross fingers), getting a job (really wacky different one I hope) and living somewhere different. There are other times when I'm scared because I will be on my own in a strange country and I will have to make huge decisions on my own!!! I have dreams of waking up with a spider on my face, or not being able to use the washing machine's at the Laundrette and creating some sort of bubble bath there....................cringe!!!!! Only the whole it will be an exciting new experience and i know when I'm old and grey I will be glad that I have done it!!!! Anyway, I'm going to go now because I'm going out tonight, another one of my leaving do's (loving these leaving do's :) ). Please feel free to comment whenever, and any last minute advice will be much appreciated. Wis...
