Sunday 20th December

gahhhhhhh! ok sooo been working most days this week, not nice in the heat but its money, money i havnt got because the office or the bank is fucking around so ive spent the last 3 days trying to survive with $20, which has now run out! So i currently have 60 cents in my pocket and thats all my money. soo im moving out with anja to her mates house tomorrow until christmas eve so thatl save me rent.. told the boss im not working tomorrow cause im pissed off, hungry and need to go into the bank, will be interesting to see his response!

ummmm was funny in work on friday anyway, my alarm went off at 5.30am but i fell back to sleep.. so i missed the pick up for work, but then the boss got offered more jobs so he came back and got me, so we went to a bigggg apartment block in the middle of perth to repair some potholes on the bottom floor of the underground carpark. So im there with the blower blowing all the dust out of the holes and the carpark just filled up so badly i couldnt see my feet anymore, then a guy was like ayyy u need to stop while we turn the extractor fans on cause the dust might set the fire alarms off. then just like magic.. 'WEEEEEOWMN WEEEEEEOWMN DANGER!!! EVACUATE NOW!!!' i was laughing soooo hard but the hotel people werent happy seein as 100's of residents evacuated onto the streets at 9am and the firemen arrived :P that has to be the worst alarm tho, everyone says not to panic in an emergancy but with that thing shouting DANGER! EVACUATE NOW! constantly i dont think you could stay calm!

Friday 11th December

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee, pretty tired. Fell asleep at 2am last night.. got up at 4am for work and started at 5am. didnt finish until 7.30pm! and unfortunately i dont get paid by the hour.. so that sucked majorly. Sooo yeah i tarmaced a driveway like a gypsy, did a repair on mcdonalds carpark but they gave us free food so that was safe! and then 2 pot holes in streets which didnt take long but everywhere was pretty far apart, and there was a lot of changing tools at different hire shops which took more time. Got really badly sunburnt which is notttt gooood! going to really hurt in the morning! oo and 1 of the guys managed to rip a hole out of the roof of a house with his truck, so thats goin to cost them!

anyyywayy its 2am now so time for sleepies! tattybyes

OH OH WAIT! someone got really drunk and threw up in the shower and also pooped on the floor! haaahahaha hilarity! and it was a girl! (we know who but im not going to say any names O_O)

Thursday 10th December

Ok! Did some work on saturday and sunday for a lady who sells antiques. Was just loading it in a van on saturday and then offloading it at a festival thing on the sunday! easy peasy but she payed $25 an hour! That works out as £14 an hour.. crazy australians.. but im still low on money! Not got enough for next weeks rent which is due on tuesday.. but luckily today ive just got a job for tomorrow and should continue until christmas. Ill be working for a tarmacing company just laying tarmac! sooo not the most exciting or pleasant work but it pays ok and should be quite constant for awhile. So even if its just 3 weeks work i can probably save close to $1000 out of it!

Sunday 29th November

Had a bit of a better sleep! got up about 9am and we packed up and went to Hamlin Bay which is a beach about 30mins south of margaret river. Was absolutely stunnnnning! pure white sand and clear blue water and noooobody around! We spent a few hours there and then drove up to the caves, i didnt fancy paying $20 for a tour round a cave so i had a nice sleep in the car instead! Headed back up towards perth after that and stopped in at a little town because miranda wanted to see the really long pier they have there, so we all went for a quick dip in the sea! Then we got lost a little bit but found our way home!

sooooooo thats pretty much the weekend summed up! shorter than i expected but all we were doing was laying on the beach and drinking most of the time.. i want to go travelling now!

Saturday 28th November MY BIRTHDAY!

Got up at 7am and drove down to the beach and spent the whole day there. The waves were maaaaaaaaassive which was fun! Somehow i managed not to burn even though i was in the sun for about 8 hours, some of the others werent so lucky! Left the beach at about 3pm and found a campsite, set up there for $7 each. Pretty decent considering there was a kitchen, toilet, wood supply and camp fire bins with benches all around. No showers though! and no alcohol allowed! Didnt stop us though! We cooked up a load of sausages and burgers and then lit the fire and started drinking! Had a good laugh round the fire and found a wallabee hanging around the campsite! Went to bed about 10pm cause i was knackered from the night before and getting up so early!

Friday 27th November

Ok so its about time i updated this! Could be quite a long one!

Right soooo the plan was, everyone goes down to Margaret river for the weekend to camp and sit on the beaches and drink a lot! 10 of us went, me, anja, johanna, jos, tony, emma, miranda, yon, rudy and john. Jay didnt come cause he had to work. Left the hostel about 7pm on friday night, i was in the car with John, Yon and Rudy so we just drank the whole way, (cept Rudy who was driving!) We had no idea where we were staying, the plan was to just crash on the beach somewhere. We got to margaret river at about 10.30pm and got pulled over by the police straight away! They breathalised Rudy and then we set off again and literally about 30 seconds later we got pulled over again by different police, then we set off again, drove round for about 10 minutes looking for somewhere to stay and neenar we got pulled over again! but this time Rudy had apparently run a stop sign and got a $150 fine.. ouch. We checked out a few beaches but couldnt find anywhere hidden, and all the campsites were closed for the night so we just stopped in a carpark and set up the tents on the grass at the side. unfortunately the floor was rock solid so i had a very rough nights sleep!
