Here I Go Again

So its been a couple of weeks but thats because nothing interesting has been happening untill now.....
I finally got myself another job, I went along to the information meeting with Holly and we thought that it sounded ok and decided to give it a go. I was a little bit doubtfull as it involved selling antlers to random people who are going about doing their own thing around shopping centers and around the streets. However I gave it a shot. We had our first day doing this yesterday (Sunday the 11th) and after about 3 hours we had already decided it was a load of rubbish and we didnt really want to do it any more. What didnt help was the fact that we thought we could go around together and sell them but when we got there (i cant remember her name, so we shall call her the grumpy woman) the grumpy woman split us up and told us where we had to go...now before this i had a really good loop going on where ever i went i was actually selling alot, but the loop she put me on was rubbish and i sold 2 in an hour!! so this was stupid. Also the weather that day was really hot, so you can imagine walking around looking like a complete idiot with all these antlers up your arms and around your waist, which was so uncomfortable in the heat. Also Holly and me had to be up at 6 that morning as the bus want running to the train station on Sundays so we had an hours walk to the train station to start of with, a lovely 3 mile walk to start the morning off didnt seem all that bad, but when you add it to the other 7 or 8 miles of walking we did that day, as you can imagine, we were slightly fed up!! To add to my tiedness, i actually woke up at about 3 in the morning and then could not get back to sleep at all so i had actually been awake since 3 not 6. Good times :)
We decided to head back early as grumpy woman was annoying us, so off we went to get some lunch and then headed back to the base in Subiaco and counted up all the money when we got there. Now to get paid, we get 15% of what ever we raise each day...not much i hear you say...well you would be correct Holly and me both came away with $20 which meant that by the time we add in the travel and lunch we actually broke even, meaning it was a waste of a day!!! Hence the reason i have not gone back to that job today! 

But on the bright side of life, I am now in a house and i have a room to myself which is the best feeling ever! I dont have to worry about waking anyone else up if i come in late or if i have to be up early and i can actaully relax! I have a lovely see view from my bedroom and the house has a pool, its a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to the shopping center and the bus stop. So all in all i am pretty happy with it at the moment. 

Right alot of you know what i am like with my sunglasses and the fact that i always loss them but somehow they always manage to come back to me! Well...last night a few of us went fishing down at the beach, and i was happily sat there and thought i would just lie back for a moment...forgetting i had my sunglasses on my head...and what happens, they fall off my head and go down inbetween the rocks and all the way down!!! I couldnt believe it, my nice, newish glasses and i have just dropped them down the rocks, it looked like i wouldnt be able to get them back and i was ready to give up (as this always happens) but then John, lovely John, comes along with his head torch and says that they havent gone down as far as i thought so he managed to jump down between the rocks and get them back for me. They do now have a few scrathes but nothing i cant cope with!! Just glad i got them back!

I am slowly getting into the christmas mood now, I went and watched Auther Christmas the other day, for those of you who havent seen it i think you should! It is amazing!! I have even brought some christmas crackers for our christmas day at the beach :D looking forward to it now, cant believe it is only 2 weeks away!!

Think i might have bored you all enough now bye.
