The End

The end has finally arrived, and im currently lying here in bed. Its weird, i woke up this morning as matt left for work, and realised i was all alone. this is a first in 8 weeks.. i was expecting to hear steph getting out of bed, or emilys voice from next door, or waiting for sarah to enter the room. but no one did. it was all so quiet, and now i have to get used to this for the next 2 months again.
Its sad because i know i wont see sarah till may now, as shes off to australia, but hopefullyu ill get to see belfo at uni and stephs paying her visit. i love them all.
So this summer, was extremely different, not all bad, we worked hard, harder than we expected we would.. but we did come out top of the table, and got to see some lovely scenery.
We didnt feel like we were leaving, especially as ther summer was so short. but all in all it was a good one, with lots of funny bantarrrr
"sistaaaa. suqqquezeee me"
"bantah is my middle name"
"bdum"
"moustache chris, guess you better grow your moustache outtttttt"
"work hard. eat harder"
and plenty more funny things. i am glad to say ive done a summer in switzerland, yes i am.! but im also happy to be home with some lovely people.





girls i love you all you jewish steph, you ginger belfo and sistah sarah. <3

Cleaning begins...

Today is Sunday, which means its day two of shut down, which means the anal cleaning begins.. FML!
So this week has been a finish week, the last week of guests.
Wednesday morning I managed to do the adventure land again, with 4 little sprogs and Beth, and things were pretty good… think I fell asleep in my only afternoon off this week!
Thursday and Friday were full on days, non stop, and to be fair I was like a child.. every evening that I got home I just wanted to cry from pure tiredness! And the fact its so close to home eeek! Managed to go to the ice caves again on Friday, and find some marmots  so this did excite me! And Friday evening we boshed out a show, consisting of Chris getting egged, and Emma getting gunged… muahahaha funniest thing I’ve ever seen!
And then the return of the Spice Girls came out Friday evening right after work, the 5 of us curling up into the boot room, wine in hand and getting ready.. with the music of the Spice Girls in the background..and by 11pm we were ready to hit up Saas Fee! Off we walked down the streets telling every person we walked past that ‘if you wanna be my lover’ this is because we are extremely gay!! Ha.

It was such an amazing night, the minute we walked into the karaoke bar, everyone wanted our photo (hello celebrity!) and then we sang spice girl songs all evening.. of course why not! Except for the part I genuinely felt like a butch lesbian.. by this point I was far to wasted, and managed to get to popcorn, where we all had a boogie, and then myself and steph decided it was time to leave for the walk home… ending up with us swapping a heel for a trainer, and I couldn’t have looked more funnier, with one heel, one trainer, joggers, and a crop top with a jassive tattoo too.. BLEURGH! We also stopped halfway on the way home to pray to ‘allah’ good times! And as we got home, we boshed out an ice lolly (why?) while cooking toast and marmite, talking to rhona and her half! Ha.
Come Saturday morning, I think I was still drunk.. bouncing to work is not on the agenda of a hangover! We died miserably this day, yet still managed to get it all shut down in one day. Well done childcare!
And now we’re at today, and we’ve packed up our belongings, even though we still have 3 days left.. but its getting so so close! I am so so excited, and im ready to get away from some certain people here.. ie managers! Who are constantly saying negative things, when were cleaning and happy we’re told to shut up, and then when we’re quiet we get told to stop moaning.. cant win! Roll on a holiday! Ha!
Anyway that’s all from me, the next time I’ll be writing ill be back over the waters and with you all 
Love to you all. See you in 4 days lovelies. xxxxxxxxxx

Drowning in the Rapids

Bonjourno! I feel like I haven’t wrote this for ages, maybe I haven’t? Today is a cloudy evening up in Saas Fee, but alas we made it out the bubble for the day! Hooray! We headed to Brigerbad, which is the water park at the bottom of the mountain. Alarms set for 8.30 (bleurghhhh!) and on to the bus we got. I must admit the bus journey there, nearly took all my energy. Myself and Steph had some FANTASTIC conversations, including old age (also read my waffle blog.. for the full story!) and the colour beige that attracts the old people, with there blue tint hair. Epic. We hit visp, which was at the bottom of the mountain, and were fasinated by the mcdonalds sign. I described the mcdonalds sign as “reality is mcdonalds”… You feel safe, like in England when you see the big yellow M sticking up in your face!
Finally got to brigerbad, got changed and thought we were in a time warp.. everywhere that surrounded us was just FULL of over 70 year olds.. all doing aqua aerobics in a green like pool…! We laughed it off, and explored, but majority of the pools were still closed, so in we stepped to the heated pool of old people, smelling of wee and the odd coloured water! Fun anyway, this acitivity ended and the other pools looked more appealing. Where we also came upon a rock, that we decided would be great fun to jump off.. and myself even kept going back for me (I would never be caught dead doing that in the sea!) and even turning 360’s and what not, awesome times! The big slide opened so we all ran up the stairs, got halfway before realising we were nakered up the millions of them! Anyway went down this quite a few times, hilarious and super fast when lying on your back, I even lifted off the slide when I went down a big hill bit! The river rapids also opened, and we had far to much fun swimming round, drowning, and pulling each other along.
Lunchtime was calling our names, so a pile of chips did the trick.. before acting like children again we ran to jump some more, and hit the rapids with some more powerful current.. unfortunately I was happily surfing through the current, when one guy wiped me out, and under I went. But the force was so strong from the water, I couldn’t get out.. genuinely thought I would die (yes all of those 2 minutes or whatever it was!) ha. Then chilled in the heated pool, before myself and steph came home earlier, to catch the bus… and the moment of lying on our beds was HEAVENLY!
Now im chilling out, doing absolutely nothing, making the most of this before I continue my full day shifts for the rest of the week! This week is a VERY VERY busy week, im on maxi’s so with the older children.. and I did bike riding on Monday, thought I would die, a fat lady on a bike.. but I was awesome (a few tiny bursts of short for breath.. but noone knew!) and followed by the waterworks, where we made the water flow down the waterfall.. good times!
Tomorrow ill be doing the fun adventure land again with the zip wires which is also awesome, and then it will be a week from tomorrow that we leave. I am genuinely SO excited. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
This week again I was extremely boring, my book took my eye more than the nightlife here! (I am gay like this I know!) But hopefully I will be out on Friday night as its rhona’s birthday and we’re dressing up as the spice girls which is going to be amazing. Of course you can guess the line up..
Sporty Spice – myself (hahahahhahahahahahahahha! Really?!)
Baby Spice – Kat (probably the best audition ever!
Posh Spice – Steph (she has the moves, and all the voice to!)
Scary Spice – Sarah (preparing for the crop top moment!)
Ginger Spice – Belfo (Do we need to say more?)
So this is going to be an interesting night…… watch this space!
That’s currently all from me from over the water and up the mountains, my bed has been my best friend for the past few weeks.. I love you bed! A real rock. We bonded a lot. And also our bedroom is an absolute pig sty but myself and stephs opinion on tidying up…. “mmmeeehhhhh. Well be packing in a few days so what the hell”! ha. Honestly its probably a ‘shit tip’ who cares  we have to be crazy seasonnaires for something this week!
Love to everyone.. and see you all in a week. xxxxxxxx

It's all a bubble...

And so another week is nealy over, its only Wednesday but Thursday and Friday just fly by.. and then bang last week of guests! 14 days today that we’ll be leaving this bubble as we’ve known for the past 8 weeks or so. Of course I am very excited, more than anything to see people back at home.. but a little part of me is nervous, or afraid. Only because its been such a tight small knit bubble that we’ve been trapped in.. and have no clue of the outside world around us, and ill be back in it.. without a clue on the comings and goings, whats been on in the world, the music. Thank god its only been 8 weeks.
I also know ill become reliant on music the minute I jump into my own bed, as weird as it may seem, I struggle to sleep alone after sharing room’s with people on seasons. I share with Steph, and its always nice to get into bed, have a little conversation before you finally fall asleep.. at home, it’ll be me and duck bear as always!
So yesterday we decided enough was enough, were not wasting another day. We still managed a lie in, and then the four of us escale fitties, took to the mountains and walked to saas grund.. armed with camera’s, hoodies and carrier bags of food! The walk was great, chatting about many a things “urm emily, you need to walk on.. we cant have you listening to this dirty conversation your too young” bless her! Got to saas grund and headed up the cable car to Hohsi land, where the weather wasn’t amazing but it would do. We sat down, had a wee picnic, played on the go karts,and then made the most of the table… making our own style follie douche! It came to about 3pm, so we decided on heading down on the monster scooters again. It was epic as before :) we kept stopping off, making sure there was time for pictures along the way!


At one point, we turned a corner and sarah was ahead a little so had lay in the road, pretending to fall over.. the horrible people we are we just laughed! And then I tried to crouch down again, but got my ass caught on the moving tyre.. hello sore bum! But yes a fun fun day had by all. Managed to get back to saas fee by like 5pm. Chilled out for half hour then headed up for staff tea.. and that was our day. Bed all around I think!
Another quiet week so far, nothing else has been happening.. we really really have turned boring, our beds are just calling our name all the time and this seems the safest option. Monday night myself and Sarah had a little film session, watching mean girls and time travellers wife. Roll on next Friday, its rhona’s birthday and us four escale girls, are being spice girls! Muahahahah. Should be quality.
That’s all from me from over the water and up the mountains.
I need to wake up.. I’ve gotten back into napping in my spare time. Great times :) see you all in 15 days! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I don't wanna be big spoon no more

I have two more weeks left, of being big spoon to duck bear, before i can go home, and be little spoon again in bed with the boy :)
It sucks going home from work every night, to my stripy duvet bed (dont get me wrong i LOVE the stripes) but it gets cold, and boring... It's not like Steph is a snorer or anything! :)
So yes, 2 more weeks left of guests. It's currently Friday night and the guests are leaving on Saturday, where we'll have two more weeks.. and then close down. Confirmed date of leaving for the 1st and i am TRES excited i really am :)
I'd like to say that i have done an awful lot this week, but to say it as a boring seasonnaire this season.. well no i havent actually! I havent been out once this week, I'm not sure whether its because its such a small resort, that im getting a little bored, or whether like im just being lazy and boring.. i'm not sure! But maybe these last 2 weeks i will go crazy (pah really?!)
On Sunday, unfortunately a holiday maker, died here in Saas Fee on the gorge walk, it wasnt the equipment's fault or anything.. she had refused to brake or something, and died instantly. its so sad, really shocked us to.
I dont wanna end on a bad note.. im now off to bed, my baby listening shift has finished.. it's like a race home, for me to get into bed so i get at least 9 hours sleep... (if my phone tells me i have 8 hours to sleep.. i am deeply shocked by this! haha)
So bit of a boring one to be fair, will keep you updated if i do anything to crazy which i probably wont.. the most fun ive done this week is buy some fabulously fun pants....! :)
thats all from over the water and up the mountains.
love to all. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cabbage Patch Kids...

I thought I’d left my blog for aages, but turns out it’s only been a normal week… and so I can continue to tell my stories.
Lets begin with Monday evening (do we dare?!)… Michelles Birthday, meaning, PUB GOLF.. yes please kill me now. Anyway, myself and Sarah were off for the night so helped her set up. I decided I would do the first punch at home, and then have one beverage and sack the rest off. Once everyone was home, we all sat round the table and had to pick a paper out the hat which told us what we needed to drink out of.. luckily enough I got a deodorant lid, I was dreading the saucepan!! We then set about, all dressed up, to the first bar, where it was forbidden to talk and we all had to order a glass of wine. Stupid idiot me, didn’t realise we had to drink it in one, and there was me sipping away! Until me and steph hid under a table and downed it.. BLEURGH! Once we had finished, we had to piggy back our partners to the next bar. I had steph on my back, then we decided to switch. Now, as we were going, steph was awfully wonky, and fell into a fence, causing her to fly straight forward, and myself to first hit some stairs before toppling over them, onto the floor to… unbeknown to us.. A CABBAGE PATCH! Hilariously funny now, im covered in grazes, and bruised hip although it is better now… but couldn’t believe it. Now I don’t know whether this means im a fat bitch and she cant carry me, or she was just unbelievably drunk..?! so we headed to the next bar, but steph wanted to leave because she felt terrible, so we headed home, and straight to bed.
Come Tuesday, I think the day went like this.
Wake up.
Go to shop (in pyjamas, slippers, hats, anything we could find)
Eat food.
Watch DVD (kind of…!)
Sleep.
Wake up.
Go to shop again… (more snacks)
Eat the supplies.
Watch another DVD.
Walk to work..
Eat Staff Tea..
Watch another DVD
Sleep.
And that is how our day actually went…. We didn’t do an awful lot, I think everyone was dying!
I’m trying to refresh my memory back to Wednesday (this is silly.. its only Sunday!) but I cannot remember, don’t think we did an awful lot! Standard day at work… yes a little baby in nursery and im allowed to admit it now the week is over.. I LOVED LOOKING AFTER BABYYYYY!
Thursday was miss Emily’s birthday, so I awoke with her in the morning, and we chatted, I’d also stuck lots of photos up around the house of her, which was quality. At staff tea we then gave her a signed esprit bib which she actually LOVED and I wrote her a jassive poem, plus we got her gin, and some carrot cake. We were heading out for the night dressed as geeks and emos, and it was literally the funniest thing….



We all got into character, as we headed to the karaoke bar.. myself, steph and Emily sang ‘I believe I can fly’.. never again, we were awful ha! And then we went and raved it up in popcorn. Literally such a great night. Came home about 3ish…
And then woke up for a bloody full day Friday with Emily! We walked to work, just like in val times feeling a little worse for wear.. so stopped at the bakery to buy a pan au raisin type thing to. Good times. Took the children to see the marmots, and the ice cave.. and by the time it got o baby listening I was just dying.. and needed my bed! Walked home, and jumped into bed, and had a call from the drunk boyfriend.. this is where I turned into a child, and began crying purely because I was genuinely shattered..!
And so this brings us to yesterday which was transfer day, and myself and steph realised that jesus we only got two more weeks of guests after these ones have left! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. I am so excited now  its like 26 days or something! Hahaha.
Anyway enough from me.. I finally had a shower which was grand. Hope your all ok. Missing you all, but not long now till im back to annoy everyone.
With love from over the water and up the mountains. xxxxxxxx

Trolly Dolly Training...

As I type this, im currently hiding in my bedroom for two reasons..
1. the sun is so bright today, and I canot handle the sweat fest.
2. Im pretty tired after last night (I managed 2.15!!!)
I’d also just like to clarify, that when I upload this, no I don’t have internet use in my room, or where the sun is visible, so when I upload the blog.. im probably in a sweaty room, that is old fashioned and the internet is ‘weak’ as it states on my computer.
Anyway, this afternoon I have just sizzled myself with steph, rhona and jo. I even stripped down to my pants and bra… bikini’s are such efforts these days (although I did keep my dress around my middle.. which as rhona says ‘is pointless.. we’ve seen your pants. We’ve seen your bra, and we can see your dress… so get it off!’) and after roasting, I’ve decided I want to hide from the sun. I should really be lapping it up, as its been awful weather lately, but as us british go, we moan whatever the weather! Enough of the weather, its boring me already. This morning I worked in nursery, we have a 5 month old baby. So far im going to admit, I do quite like the baby, we’re bonding (could this one be an exception? Here’s hoping!) and so the morning flew by.
Last night I got on the pink vodka, with steph rhona and jo, and we headed to popcorn, eventually after much faffing with clothes (this is why I prefer fancy dress..!) we left. And took some bum shots and was literally APPAULED at the cost to get in, FIFTEEN CHFS! Bleurgh. Anyway I went in. we had a boogie, a beverage, and a lot of sweat fest and called it an evening at 2.15 (my latest yet I think! Man, how boring have I become!) and that was that.
Back to Monday evening, we stayed in, played some drinking games with cards, this was fun, as we didn’t feel the need to go out.. hello joggers! Epic times. On Tuesday morning we all got up pretty early, and walked to Saas Almagell, to catch a bus, to go up to Mattmark Dam. As we got off the bus and walked up the steps to get onto the Dam, the view was beautiful it really was, the water was so blue, but a turquoise blue, a nice blue. We walked all around this, stopping halfway for some lunch time snacks, and then continuing again, which took us about 3 hours in total… then walked back uphill from Saas Almagell, where we all flopped into our beds!
Wednesday morning, I was lucky enough to help the maxi children on the adventure course, and I was pretty excited because I hadn’t done it since training week, so myself and Rhona got left with 3 children to do the discovery route, which took forever but we still had fun all the same. And then the evening was followed by most of the staff joining in for the pub quiz at the hotel… to be fair, I cant comment on this because I wasn’t paying any attention, I was to busy making up stupid words for bananagrams like “I like your cauldron” and posting these to steph.. it amused me anyway!
Thursday was my day off, and I woke up pretty early, so a little gutted, but I stayed in bed alllllllllllllllll day and watched some films, had a nice tidy up and mooched around. Had a lovely lovely evening, myself, Steph, Jo, Rhona and Rachel, cooked a curry, sat at the table, treated ourselves to a big chocolate gatuex for pudding.. and got very silly with the squirty cream! (honestly, you’d think us 5 girls had never had pudding before!) I was quite satisfied with our evening, so didn’t feel the need to go out, so steph and myself headed to bed, where we chatted for ages, and then fell asleep.
But then this is where I reckon some crazy fairy came in to us, and turned us a little mad for the next few days, Friday evening we had no children signed into baby listening, so we went to tidy the terrace.. where instead found myself pushing the tables around as though I was a trolly dolly, followed by the chairs pretending they were wheelchairs, well we had a laugh, for all of 20 minutes.
Saturday was a usual transfer day, and the sillyness continued with us prancing around the wellness centre as we cleaned, singing to meatloafs ‘I would do anything for love’, and then singing ‘I miss you’ through the sauna windows.. fun times had by all.
So now im just as I said hiding in my bed, thinking whether to hairwash tonight or tomorrow, oh the decisions! Hairwash is such a chore! Tomorrow evening we’re meant to be out fo pub golf, yeah right? Me pub golf? I think ill just go for the jokes, and not drink.. I would literally pass out at the first rule. Ill stick to the pink vodka :) because im gay like that!
Anyway that is all from me from over the water and up the mountains. I am now off to do something productive, of update my ipod shuffle, some sit ups, or eat some biscuits… ill probably do none of these and just stay on my bed, on my stripy bed sheets! Epic times.
Love to all of ya’ll xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
