Hello readers!
So today I woke up at 9 to the sounds of (my God its so dark in here I'm off to turn the light on...I CAN SEE!) Jilly and the kids preparing for school. I thought of getting up and saying 'good morning' to them however I thought more of lying i bed and pretending to sleep. I did that until Jilly came in and said I should get up to be ready to go to her new place.
I got up out of bed and hopped into the shower then dawdled down to have breakfast. I sat and watched Americas Next Top Model. They were in Amsterdam which was cool because they were going around in boats in the canals and I was like... ptch, been there. All was going well until Jilly came and said we were going, not that it was a bad thing, I just wanted to know who got eliminated. God I hope it was Marjorie. What a lump. She is like a moose. Anyway, not important... I grabbed my shoes and brushed my teeth before jumping into the car and we were off to Micky D's for breakfast. Please note that once again, I for some reason had two unhealthy breakfasts. What a lump.
We got our Maccas to go because we had to be at the flat in time for Al who was coming at 10.30 to hang up Jillys new curtains. Now I should add here that Jillys flat is spacious for the kind of flat it is but it is the flithiest most minging thing I have ever seen. It makes a highschool common room that hasn't been cleaned for a year look like a hospital in terms of cleanliness. This isn't in anyway Jillys fault, its just because she needed a flat ASAP and this was the quickest she could get. I can not explain to you how disgusting this flat was. We have three days to clean it and make it liveable. When we arrived there was a plumber there finishing Jillys bathroom which is new for some reason... Good though. At least that room was clean.
So, I was assigned the lounge room. Armed with bleach, hot water with floor cleaner and 30 sponges I attacked! It was gross. One wipe of anything turned the water black. Blargh. It also took a few hours and going over everything a few times. Theres not much to exlain really but in the end, the room looked cleaner. Almost standard, it needs a going over with scrubbing again then normal cleaning products to look clean. Dont even get me started on the floor. I mean, whoever lived there before Jilly is so disgusting. I found cigarette butts on the floor and got chewy stuck on my arm. Ew. Fortunately, the place does have potential, once its clean, it will be decent. Sorry Jilly I just slandered your place... Fortunately, Jilly knows and agrees.
So yea I was at the house cleaning for 7 hours (10-5) until Al (who left like 2 hours ago) came back and dropped the kids off who learned last night the Jilly was moving out and was keen to see the house. They weren't phased by this development and liked the flat. Cool. I kept the kids entertained for the last 20 minutes until we left for dinner. KFC. I was a bit grossed out by the food I was shoving in my mouth especially after my unhealthy breakfast and lack of lunch but it filled the hole and yea... ew KFC.
Got home, sat with beer talking to Jilly, the health streak continues, and then watched the Simpsons. I am waiting for Big Brother again... woo! omgomgomg the Final is on Tuesday I am sad because its gonna finish sooooon. Shattered. Corin for the win!
I smell like bleach, my hands are dry and I am scared I picked up some disease however, tomorrow will be better because the house is halfway done! Haha, actually, I find cleaning theraputic because I just put the iPod in and scrub away left to my thoughts. I quite enjoy it, actually. I also like going "OMG JILLY WTF IS THAT?" and then having a bitching session about the people who lived there before her and how gross they were. Its good.
Now I am offskiing, toodlepip!

Part 154: Free Toast
Precious few readers, hello.
Today was a bit of a busy one. I woke up in the morning to the sounds of the kids getting ready for their first days of school. I hopped out of bed because last night they asked me to wish them well for school. Its their new year- bizarre! I did that and as they went of to school I showered and got ready for Jilly who was, upon returning from dropping the kids off, was taking me to a house to help clean it up.
On the way we got Maccas for breakfast as what should be done when you're off to clean a bombsite. Or so I was told. We left with our coffees in hand and upon arriving at the place we realised it was a wee bit messier than what we expected. We couldn't do anything because some of the mess was too big and thus we needed someone else to do it. We ended up going over to a shopping mall to do some shopping which included going to various places picking up bits and bobs. We got a free toaster! FREE! I love toasters. Well, free toasters anyway. I love toast! Toast.
Ermm, after shopping we came back home and I played some Zelda and sat outside talking to Jilly over tea - the drink, not the meal. After, we had some to go pick up some photos from the framing shop and then go grocery shopping. We talked to the dude in the photo shop for like 30 minutes about his upcoming trip to America which was thrilling... Then after the shopping we went and picked up the kids for l'ecole.
Jilly hada doctors appointment so I had to go take the kids to Sallys dance registration. I walked us there which was fun because we made it into a race and it was good. (I love 'friends' its on now and very funny) Um, when we got there we had to wait in a huge queue of mothers so I just played i-spy with Sally and let AJ race around bumping into some kid and knocking him over haha... I did apologise to the Mum haha. Hm. I think I was the only non-mother guardian there which was odd. Oh! And L!TJBTC (Lol! The Janitor Broke The Clock- completely smashed it it was so funny and he was so embarrassed becuase the room went silent and stared at him) When I got up to register Sally there was a panel of young women sitting there who sat us down and asked who we were and why Sally wanted to dance. It was almost intimidating. I then had to sign as Sallys parent/guardian which I was like... I dont even know if thats allowed. I did explain that Jilly wanted me to fill in for her and they were so impressed by my Australianess (no joke- they made me blush being so happy that I was Australian, it was awkward, I heard them giggle when I said 'cya'... I mean really...) that it didnt matter. Sally was registered so we celebrated with ice cream.
Anyway, back at home I had to baby sit the kids as Jilly went out which was okay because baby-sitting them involves watching TV. My only job is to put them to bed at the right time- which I forgot... Aj went to bed on his own, bless, but he unfortunately went to sleep in his school uniform so when I realised this I had to wake him and he was grumpy and didnt listen. Luckily Jilly was here by this point so I let her deal with it as I watched 'The Simpsons'. Good system.
I am now typing this making sure its finished before Big Brother starts so I dont go on about it again tonight. Chyeaah.
p.s Sparky the dog is absolutely minging. Stinky dog and he is right near me and I dislike it.

Part 153: The Eye
Im gonna miss big brother sooooooooo much when its over or when I am back in Australia. Ah, Big Brother I just love you. You're the best thing that happened to me since Smallville. Ahhh... *Big happy grin* All the people just bring a smile to my sad lifes face. I say sad life because I am dedicating a whole section to my Europe blog to a TV show... and not for the first time!
Moving on:
So I had a good day today, I woke up at 9.30 and saw Al and the kids watching TV. I then sat out and had coffee with Al and was told I had to babysit the kids as he went to pick up Jilly. He did that and then came back and decided to stay the day because Jilly needed to sleep. He had house work to do so I decided at 12 the kids and I would go for a picnic because todays weather was the most amazing weather I have seen in a long time and I've been to Italy.
After packing our sandwhiches and snacks we wondered off to the park where we sat and ate listening to music and discussing why Japanese is so awesome. Then AJ and I played football (AFL style) and did some stupid game where you throw the ball up and clap as many times as you can before you catch it. My record was 17. Win! We then went and skipped stones and drawing on my experience in Holland we built an island in the lake. It was amazing becuase it worked and we could stand on it and oter people where staring at us making it thinking, I'm assuming, 'woah, thats cool'. It was mad. The only problem was that I got drenched because I dropped big rocks in the water making a splash. Idiot.
Anyway! The rest of the day was so-so enjoying the weather outside and pondering. I am currently watching Big Brother- duhhh. I love it.
I dont know whats on for tomorrow. Everything is a bit topsy-turvy at the moment with everyone elses plan so yes... I'll see. Oh and the kids summer holidays are over, already! Whaaaaat? Where did the last 7.5 weeks go? Someone tell me.

p.s obviously 'The Eye' is about the Big Brother Logo ;)

Part 152: Weirdest Day Ever
Hello,
What on earth should I write about today? I had such a busy day! So lat night I didn't blog because I was much to wasted. For some reason going out on a Thursday night is the cool thing for solo pepole to do. I went into the city and partied meeting thousands of people and then waking up in the gutter at 5.30am in the middle of no where.
Hungover I dawdled to the train station and caught the earliest one into Netherlee again. When I arrived home I realised the dog had gone missing. I looked everywhere after realising I left the gate open. Unfortunately I couldn't find the dog which was a bit worrying becuase I still have no idea where he is, I thought he may turn up at home, but apparently not. I was too tired to keep searching so I went to bed only to be woken up by the door bell. I got to the door to see, well you'd never guess, I clown. There was a bunch of circus folk promoting the upcoming circus in a suburb not far from here.
I smiled at the clowns practical joke with his water flower and waved him and his buddies away. As I was closing the door I noticed that the toaster was on fire, I have no idea how, I wasn't even making toast. I ran around looking for anything to put the fire out and only found a blanket which I used which worked at making the fire better... better? Or Worse? Much worse. The blanket caught too so I ran upstairs to the shower and grabbed a bucket, filled it and poured it over the fire which had no ruined the kitchen. Fortunately the neighbours must have noticed because the firemen arrived and saved the day. I panicked at the fact that I had burnt the kitchen of my hosts house down so I packed my stuff into my bag and ran out of the house, I left a note apologising so mum, dad, if you hear from Jilly or Al, asking for money politely say I have disappeared off the face of the earth.
Anyway, on the way to the train station (I dont actually know where I was going to go at that point...) I had a random car pull over and grab my stuff and then shove me in the boot of their car. I had been kidnapped! I mean, honestly in Netherlee/Muirend? Who'd a thought that possible? Bah! So there I was in the car just wondering whether I would be murdered or held for ransom when they stopped randomly pulled me out of the car and started shouting in some language I didn't understand. I noticed that one of the dudes was particularly loud but quite stupid and it annoyed his friend. Actually, he was shouting at his mate then his mate got angry so they started just yelling so I used this time to sneak away and grab my stuff...
Free at last, I wondered through my new surroundings, it appeared to be a suburban area but I think I must have been in the car for about 30 minutes so I had no idea. I ended up going up to a house and explained to them my bizarre situation. It was lovely because they offered me tea and said I could use their phone to call someone. I asked if I could use their computer instead and used their internet to find a couch surfing host in the Glasgow area. Somehow I immediately found one and then trained into the city and was met by James and Anna who are 25 and living together a 10 minute drive from Queen St. Station.
By this time it was about 7.3o, I was exhausted and hungry so we had some dinner (McDonalds) and then they went out (its friday night) so then I sat and watchede TV, Big Brother eviction night tonight. I should probably call Moira and Brian to tell them where I am and that I'm okay.
I dont know what I'll do tomorrow or when Lois gets here, it'll be interesting. Anyway all is well. Today was eventful to say the least...
Anyway, I'm off!
xx
p.s. Todays blog is all utter nonsense. Today was as dull as the colour grey. Its odd living on my own. I did clean the entire house and ten went to go post something only to realise it was 4.30. Then I went to take te dog for a walk but then the next door neighbours came and said they were taking the dog for a walk and took him... so... I didn't do that either.

Part 151: August Augmented
Look! More green, I just need Spain and Portugal, maybe Ireland too and that would look so much cooler. Oh well. SOOO much to see....Hm, I don't really know if the title is misleading, I didn't do anything much today except make plans.. or start to make plans which will thus improve the quality of this month.
So, I got news from Lois saying she has booked flights to come to Scotland for a few days this month- I love it! She'll be here the 26th and I cannae wait! I can tour her around Glasgow and do something fun in Scotland that I haven't done yet either! Oh and of course we'll go to Edinburgh for the end part of the Edinburgh Festival. This brings me to the next thing I have organised: I am going to Edinburgh this weekend too to visit Vicky! That should be good, no idea how that is going to work yet or where I'll stay but I am doing something.
I also took the dog for a walk which was lovely, he was depserate for it and I wanted to get out of the house for a while... I still need to make contact with my family here too. I'll do that tomorrow. Thursday. I still haven't heard from Jilly or Al so I hope they're enjoying themselves.
I made cabonara for tea again but this time tried hard to make it better than last time and pwned at it! I am getting better at that! Haha, I have to like learn how to cook more things... Like back in the day with Kelsey. Every Wednesday we would cook dinner for the family with dessert too- we were so pro! Mm, nostalgia.... *drools*
Oh, yesterday I didn't blog but thats because I spent 5 hours on skype with Tam, interesting for me but for a blog, perhaps not! Oh and I saw foxes. Lots of foxes. They live outside at night, in fact if I looked now, I would see them. (please not I went looking for foxes and I saw none from the window-feil)
Night!

Part 150: Day Off
Hey there!
So my day of nothing went well. I didn't sleep in like I wanted to being awoken by the dog at 9.30 snorring in my room. I did not miss the dog waking me up. I then played nintendo with Sally until she, Al and AJ left for their holiday to LegoLand in England. 7 hour drive? Sucks for them.
The rest of my day consisted of: Catching up on my internet social life (MSN, Facebook, webcam) enjoying a great conversation with my parents. It was nice to see their faces for the first time in over 18 days. I talked their ears off and they nodded politely and then for the rest of the day I have been watching telly and you know... doing nothing. I actually got a bit bored but I didn't have much energy today and the more I did nothing the less energy I had.
I should do something tomorrow like go for a walk or... I dont know... something. I need to contact Moira, Brian, Margie and Vicky to organise trips to Prestwick and pubs and Edinburgh for the festival. I'll do that tomorrow. Oh! I also checked out stuff for voting in Australia whilst overseas. I was meant to fill a for before I left ahaha.... hmm.
I dont feel very well again today, I dont know whats going on its just headaches and stuff. Not fun. Hopefully tomorrow shalt be better. I also have to work out uni shtuff... great.
Blah.
Night!!
p.s Part 150!! Its getting on, ey? I wonder if anyone even reads it still...

Part 149: Back to Britain
Hello!
So yesterday was a looooooong day. I dont want to go in to detail so I'll just say quickly what happened.
When the clock hit 12 and Saturday became Sunday Lois and I hit the streets of Sneek and parties with strangers till 3. I was too shy to talk to anyone at first but I had a few drinks and got into it, it was much better that way. We got invited by a group of people to go hang out on their boat at 3 but we were tired and wanted to go home. There, we talked for like 4 hours about life and all that stuff until going to bed at 7.
Woke up at 10 got packed, showered then at 2 siad goodbye to the Mullers (I would love to say here: THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME! You're an amazing group of people and it was a really top week. I really enjoyed everything that you told me and being at your house!) and then took a 2.5 hour train to Amsterdam (getting fined on the way...) then Airplaned to Edinburgh and then training to Glasgow and Netherlee arriving home at 9.30. 8 hours of travel. Death.
Home, I said hello to everyone, was exhausted and watched TV. Its nice to be back home, the last 18 days were amazing, but very exhausting! I love Europe.
The end.
