Well it's not Cork.....

Hey so never done this before so we'll see how it goes! Following in Andrea's foot steps and may write a blog for anyone that's interested. It will probably be boring as I really don't know what to say!! Here goes..


Moved over here the 13th with my Dad and sister coming along for the trip. I moved into a house in East Acton which is really lovely. I have the biggest room in the house and a double bed which makes a change! Lots more space if anyone wants to come visit. Spent the first week doing up the room and just having a bit of a holiday with my Dad ie. spending his money :) . They left then and let me fend for myself.


I live in a house with 3 other girls who are all working. Karen is from around Belfast and she is working in Theatre. Molly is in fashion and from Manchester I think....Kate then is in a graduate program in Advertising and is from Liverpool but studied in Manchester. They are really nice girls and we all seem to get on really well!!


The first 2 weeks were spent trying to get a bank loan then trying to get an overdraft and then when none of that worked crying. Only kidding but things were tough at first. There is so much to organise over here and they talk funny!! :) I got my phone all sorted though and my Boots card so from then on things got easier. Sean Proctor, Erin Luddy and Caitlin Collins are over here too but they are all east side so I don't see them that often. I need to lure them over here with Westfield and then they'll never leave!


Went up to Cambridge then last weekend to visit Dids and that was fun apart from the rain! It rained a lot but then we went out to a pub/club were they served wine on tap so everything got better as we started to get more drunk! That resulted in Dids' phone walking away from us ( I swear it did because it was most definitely there one minute and gone the next!) . Then Dids introduced me to Nando's and everything was right again! We got her bike sorted and met a really nice girl Gill who will take care of our Dids I think!


This week was the beginning of Uni (in with the lingo!). Met my class for a lunch on Monday and then got a formal introduction on Wednesday which included a fire and safety talk. I am now a proud owner of a card that hangs around my neck like every one else in London. I have a label! We have had classes since then including homework! Our lunch breaks include walking to Westfield in the sunshine and eating at Eat ( Charlottes favourite food place here!). Big postgrad mingle night tomorrow at the Union in South Ken. Dids may be coming down to visit tomorrow so we'll see about that. Other then that, it's hot and then raining, so very like home. The course doesn't seem to be too demanding yet but I'll know come Friday morning when my 5th 10am class begins (I know only 10am but it's been a long Summer!!). Slan go foil and hope everyone is well where ever we may be scattered!!
