Well I have no idea why really but over the last week I’ve been filled with renewed excitement about my venture into the unknown re: my move to the UK next Feb!!  I have to admit I was wondering if I would be dis-illusioned by seeing GG’s updates on Facebook to do with what she’s doing in the UK (which would get me focusing on the fact that I’ve still got 4mths to go til I get there….) but it’s the total opposite! Seeing her status changes just makes me more excited to think I’m gonna be doing the same things in Feb as she’s doing now   I spose it just makes it more real as I was around during her build-up to going away and now she’s actually there!

I’m sticking to my time-frame plan I made up of everything I have to get done before I go… but booking the accommodation has had to have a bit of a re-think to ensure I actually get a private room at the YHA in Oxford. Basically I was going to leave the booking of my first week’s accommodation until the beginning of December but I emailed YHA Oxford to see how what my chances would be of getting a private room then and the answer was “Slim to none” haha so I’ve decided to get my YHA membership sometime this month (Oct) and book it so it’s done.  No idea what I’m gonna do for accommodation once the first week’s over but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it (May just have to crash on GG’s couch!) I think it’s important to have a private room that first week cos i’ll be completely knackered after the flight and won’t want people coming and going in a shared room….

On the work front: End of month over for another month YIPPPEEEE!! Can’t wait to pass on more of my work to Nicola but first I’ll be training the second new person who arrives next week and for the next week after that I won’t have a desk!!
