I LOVE MARMOTS!

And another quick blog, because after updating this blog, i went to see the marmots!
myself and steph got ourselves up the bubble car to a very very high mountain! and when we got there, we trecked up and up to some rocks in search of marmots. where we found THREE :) eeeek! We sat on a little rock, and two of them came over to us, i had an apple and pear in my lap... and they spotted it so kept cutting off chunks for them, they were even putting there hands (paws whatever they are) on my lap, ready for some more. it was amazing! We sat there for about 30 minutes with them, it was literally so epic. i was so excited, like a little child! honestly. and then they went off a little, so we followed them, and they decided to lick my camera.. they LOVED the attention!
We then started to make our way down the mountain, and spotted some baby ones to! which was also pretty cool. Steph fell over, it was pretty funny. And the views were awesome to, all the rivers flowing down the mountain, rolling into the massive one, stopped to take lots of photos. Took us a long time to get down, but it was so lovely! And extremely pleased that we had walked down! :) Took us like 2 hours. but awesome.
So anyway, just wanted to update you on this...
here's my favourite photo of the marmots... i LOVE THEM!

Thats all anyway.. but read the next blog to find out about my week just gone!
lavely lavely.
Thats all from me over the water and up the mountains! xxxxxxxx

Exercised for the month...

Im adding this on the Sunday because my laptop decided to die on me when i went to upload it on Saturday.. here it is anyway!
Firstly a picture of the whole team.. taken on tuesday at Hohsi Land :)

Today is transfer day, it’s a Saturday.. which is a little unusual still as I keep thinking its a Sunday, slowly getting used to it now! Today, I also nearly could have been called an arsonist.. and steph. Not actually on purporse. Myself and steph were cleaning the wellness centre, and we threw the dirty towels on the floor, unbeknown to us next to a floor light… eeek! I had noticed some steam but because I was looking in the reflection of a door, so thought nothing of us. After another 5 minutes, we smelt burning…! Thank the lord, after another 5 minutes of panic, we spotted the towel. Leaning against the light.. burning the towel! Ha. If we had been like 5 more minutes late, probably would have been some flames! And that was the most productive part of my day!
Most of this week, its been raining. Got caught up in a couple of the storms to with the thunder, and even one night, we sacked off our shoes, and ran through the streets. It was epic! Also nearly died of frost bite yesterday morning. We were meant to be off to see the Marmots, in the morning, but the bubble car was closed, so we changed the plans and went to the ice cave. A really not great idea, considering that I had my stupidly short hotpants on, and only a waterprrof coat on that covered my shorts.. I should have worn a sign saying “yes I am wearing shorts.. you just cant see them!” even a hot chocolate didn’t warm me up, or the shower (wait there wasn’t much hot water either on that note.. so im currently still shivering after a day and a half!).
On Tuesday it was a very busy day off… alarms were set for 9.20am (yes on a day off to!) and off we went. First trauma being that my sunglasses broke, both lenses came out. Bloody primarni hey! But anyway, we all met at the bridge as some people wanted snacks… I am included in this and then we set off down the mountain. It was actually awesome, im not gonna lie. I felt as fit as a fiddle. And I loved the fact I was wearing stephs bag, felt like a true hiker! Pah.
We got to saas grund, where we met the manager (check this. All paid for as a ‘team bonding’ and we headed up the bubble cars, to hohsi land, where we take the children, but today was about us. And we paddled in the lake, got pretty close to the bulls, and just chilled out. At 1pm we went to collect our monster scooters. They were EPIC! And helmets ready, we set off down the mountain. It was so amazing, the tyres were HUGE and the brakes pretty sharp. Our posture wasn’t to great, maybe down to the fact we were all a little scared of toppling head over heels. The chefs had all whizzed off down, making it a race, while myself, steph, rhona and belfo went at a nice speed.. still fast enough, but stopping to get some photo snaps (these including ones of us riding down with our asses hanging out!).
It was such an amazing experience, on the dirt track being a little bit crazy, and the fact we all fet like fat cow’s as the bingo wings, the butts, and the thighs were all shaking like nothing. Im surprised the bingo wings didn’t knock myself out! Haha. We got to the bottom, where we learned that Belfo had actually fallen off her scooter, right infront of everyone else! Gutted.



Deciding that getting the bus, was a better option, we all piled onto the sweat fest bus to head back to Saas Fee, where we then went and changed, and didn’t realise we were playing football.. funniest thing EVER! All of us on the astro turf, females all shoeless due to changing into flip flops.. probably not appropriate! Honestly never laughed so much at football, we all tried. And failed! But still fun. Except think it was a bad choice, as we had the volleyball court booked for 5pm, and we were all absolutely nakered after football! None the less, we perked up ready to play. All good fun to, even after the first 5 minutes of losing the ball in the river, but managing to recollect it again! Headed back to the hotel for tea, and then slowly dragged ourselves home.. and we were all in bed by 8.30pm! definetly hardcore seasonnaires today hey! Ha.
Today I am sitting here, as ive had another day off, me and sarah decided to do a full day and get an extra off. Woke up about 5.30 after sleeping forever! (I did watch finding nemo.. and still managed to cry??!!) me and Rhona, opted to go for a walk up the mountain.. a nice little stroll. Came back and ate mouldy cheese (yeah id left it in the fridge for 2 weeks.. I wondered how it had managed to last so long.. until I saw the out of date sign! Oops!). We’ve all just watched some films today, a bit of a boring one. But a must. And its also cloudy so who cares!
Me and steph worked out, that were actually a third of the way through.. that sounds weird, because we’ve only been here 3 weeks, but its such a shorted season. 6 more weeks on Friday and then ill be coming back home! Do I have a tan? Well yes because I have nice white bits, in rude places! And ive also now earnt myself a burnt scalp… a little painful, but manageable. I think it calls for the trucker hat to arrive! Ha!
Wednesday, I had another day off, as we swapped shifts round. This was a pretty boring day, except went on a little walk with Rhona, ate a whole bar of toblerone in 20 minutes, for breakfast, then proceeded to have pasta and pesto for lunch.. with 2 week old mouldy cheese (obviously we hadn’t realised the cheese was mouldy, till after we’d sprinkled it all over our pasta….!)
Not a lot else has happened this week, its been extremely quiet in the hotel with obviously the 3 families that we have, we haven’t been out either. Me and steph watched ‘little rascals’ Monday night.. it was hilarious! “whats the number for 911?!” “ow I don’t know either” ha! Quality.
Now we’re waiting on our guests.. only 1 family has turned up, so that’s 3 more to go now.. a busy week? I think not. Lets hope for some sun this week now! And im off to see the marmots Sunday afternoon, I am beyond excited.
Think that’s all from me from over the water and up the mountain 
Missing everyone lots as always, but obviously getting by, looking after myself (does toblerone for breakfast count?!). And also a big note to miss strickland.. just the fact you are AMAZING! Ha.
Lots of love. xxxxxxxx

I like my shorts anyway!

Today is a very special day.. because I have just discovered 12 ‘chantiily’ yoghurts. Wait for it.. for 2.90chf!! that’s absolutely incredible. Considering how ridiculous the prices are, we are now in heaven! Possibly as edible as they are from Lidl, but none the less, begger canny be choosers out here!
Decided I’d give myself a week to write my blog, or I would end up boring people who even read this?! (are there any?!) on some of the random things that I am thinking up/doing or where I’m going. And now its come to a week later, and ive actually just thought.. ‘but what did I do this week?!’
Well we had our guests come, 7 families… did I mention I don’t know. And it was a pretty boring week in nursery with one little munchkin…. So walks, flower picking, visiting cows, and endless renedtions of postman pat were on the agenda for the week!
Yesterday afternoon I took the little one (im making it sound like im a mother to a son…?! To be fair take away the esprit tshirt, esprit bag, and pink bib.. we could have gotten away with it… by the way my shorts are, people would definetly think ‘yeah that’s hers, the little slut!’’…. as I said before.. my shorts were chosen to give me the best tan!) anyway, like we need to know a story about my hotpants. So, we went to the ice cave, up 2 cable cars which felt perculiar not sweating it out in all our winter gear, and up a funicular.. again an odd experience! I had however prepared myself for the ice cave with a jumper.. lets not talk about the cold legs! We weren’t in there for long, due to the little one freaking out over an enormous snowman! But it was still awesome to see, different, and still weird.. I still cant get my head over the whole summer alps combo… the mountains are definetly made for winter!! On the way back down in the bubble to, I was trying to figure out where the runs are, and thinking how many drag lifts there are.. blimey I would struggle on them, after my episode in val diz!
This week has been a bit of a standard one, we went out Monday night… it was pretty quiet, it always seems to be quiet on a Monday! But we still feel the need to go out considering its our day off on Tuesday (well this week me and steph had to do the night shift, but we did have Thursday off to ) lavely lavely. Myself and steph only had a couple of drinks before heading out, and had the giggles alllllllllll the way to the pub… possibly wearing my poncho for ‘shits and giggles’ didn’t help the laughter! And the looks I got once in the pub, was comical. But do I really do things normally? That’s boring!
Tuesday we all woke up about 11, and thought we would sack off this crazy walk that the ha’s had planned, because basically us childcare are lazy, so instead we splashed out on a burger and chips (costing us all our life savings!) and then went back to watch the second and third twilight.. I don’t know why im sitting through them, but I am. I will have to agree, there not bad, don’t get me wrong.. but I think its all a big hype for it, and Mr R Pratz isn’t really that amazing! If I had to say it, I would be team Jacob?! But I think I have better things to do, like discuss my belly button?! Also I fell asleep.
Yes so this is how fun fun fun my week has been?! Pah! Not really hey, Thursday me and steph decided to sizzle ourselves all day and afternoon on the balcony. I have the funniest tan marks ever, yeahhh I do have some, so im pleased with that I am indeed! And then we got ourselves geared up for karaoke! Thursday was also the day of deciding to take a photobooth picture everyday for the rest of the season which will beautifully sit in my scrapbook to notice any differences towards the end of season 
Karaoke. What can I say! Hilarious when sarah and rhona and steph decided to belt out fresh prince of bel air, and also macho macho man! If there’s shit songs or good songs.. obviously we’re going to choose the pathetic songs! It wouldn’t be allowed in England, so over here, when you’re a seasonaire, its acceptable! Myself and belfolina sang save tonight, probably a bit out of tune/high pitched/deep/louder than we should have! Still a fun evening.
And now this brings us to today! I have developed this obsession where after walking home from work or the shop or wherever has taken my fancy, I have to come inside and take all my clothes off to cool down.. im not to sure how everyone in the house feels about this, I still have the decency to leave the undercrackers and brassiere on but none the less (I like this word) I just feel the need to do it. Im writing this before I have to go back to work, as im working tonight .bleurghhhhhh. Standard!
Having a transfer day on a Saturday doesn’t feel right, transfer days are meant to be on Sunday! But how I despise them. Not despise as such, but its such a mission! I mean, seriously, do I get paid enough to clean off someone else’s skid marks that literally took some elbow grease to get off? Or what about spending 20 minutes cleaning about 4 windows (make that 40 mintues with 8 windows?!) I am not a qualified window cleaner. And now I will definetly be ticking this off my ‘when I grow up…’ list. I reckon, after winter, I too, will be ticking off childcare, or adding a little p.s remind myself never to have children?. Ha!
basically myself and stephanieeee decided to take a photo every day.. did i mention this? well here is a couple of treats :)


That’s all from me over the water and up the mountains! Today is the wonderful miss carlie nortons birthday, the big 21! And I wish her a HUGE happy birthday and we will have some drinkies, you grandma!
My love goes out to everyone as always, but I know not many people read this because they think im a little strange, so the people who do read this, get a little extra more love  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have you got your towel?

And here we are again!
Its currently Sunday, and in true English style im rotting.. still?! We ended up out last night, a beach party and we were there.. but of course being true seasonaires, normal clothing is boring, and I thought ‘screw it. Im going out in my towel’.. and that is what we did.!

And this pretty much sums up the evening. An actual awesome one at that to, very tipsy, after playing ‘down in the jungle’ re-edited for drinking.. involving some knee to knee action, and head to knee, and all kinds. Nearly wet myself again! Dear Rhona laughed because I snorted, which caused her to fart mid laugh, causing me to laugh and my drink came right out my mouth, then nearly resulting in an aciddent, but with belfo admitting.. ‘I think I did wee a little’. Honestly you wouldn’t think there’s 8girls and 2 guys in our boudoir!! So last night was a little mental, there was lying down (yes granddad that’s for you!) followed by stevenso and rhona on top, jo losing her hat on a ‘real cliff edge’.. pah?!!! The best bit was walking into popcorn (the bar if you hadn’t gathered.. I probably hadn’t mentioned, after all we were living like oaps!) and literally marched to the dancefloor, laid out our towels and sat on them as though you would a beach.
We think = man alive were amazing.
They think = who invited the retards!
The walk home is not even discussionable! Me and stevenso, stopping every minute to take a photo… and some photos are disgraceful!! We should be ashamed, and we are. So this ends here!
Its weird that Saturday is now transfer day and not Sunday, so we can party, and then Sunday we do this crazy thing called a welcome wander, but this week there’s only 7 guests in our hotel and 3 of them wanted the tour.. I think I died today, I wasn’t mega hungover, but the sun didn’t help.. nor did the tiredness! Arrrrr well!
So following up from the last blogalogrog (yes we now have a log blog…. Where we detail about our latest ‘toilet activity’ because, being seasonaires that we are we think it necessary procedure to share the details of toilet episodes!), anway.. we ended up going out on the Monday night.. and even though that’s nearly a week ago and my mind goes blank, I remember we got dressed ready to partayyyy after workaroonie. And myself and steph went straight on the vodka. Oh what a brilliant idea, energy drink with vodka…! Maybe for any other normal person, its fine. For myself…. Not the best of ideas! But being completely retarded I drank it. In a bowl. WORST CHOICE EVER. Because come Tuesday morning, I opened my eyes to stevenso over my bed ‘kfed, we’re leaving in 2 mins. Put on some shorts, come on we’re going out for the day’. I couldn’t even lift my head off the pillow in 2 minutes!! It was terrible. I am not clever. I am stupid. I will not make that mistake again! It wasn’t even an awesome evening, because everywhere was shut, but I remember the moment I caught belfo and stevenso with a big marshmallow rod. Absolutely no idea how they got it, where they got it (word on the street is the bin… wrapped up though), but it was the most FANTASTIC THING we’d seen/eaten.. and this is where we binged!!
Come Tuesday, everyone had buggered off to walk some mountain in some other Saas village, yeah. Myself and steph decided to pull ourselves out of our shack and face the sunshine balcony style! It was tough. I died. I did it though! And then we moved to the big balcony where we sat for majority of the day, mostly quiet.. and collective, with the ocasionall whimper of ‘oowww my head’ or ‘the sun.the sun’. I think we gave up about 3, to go and browse the shops. That lasted all of 5 minutes….. I know im always a poor ass, but seriously things cost as much as a house! If I wanted a pair of socks id have to bloody sell my car for them!! And we pottered back to the balcony, where we lay till everyone else came back. I think we mooched then!
This week has been exciting/different etc, first week guests were actually lovely, cannot fault them, apartfrom the fat kid.. P.A.R at its finest! Standard though. I even bonded with a baby, well kinda, that was until she was sick on me.. rascal! But that’s how life is as a nanny… FML! Cannot recall much else happening this week, me and belfo had a pack of toblerone each, and then I did this too with stevenso. Oops. No more for me 
Currently im hurled up on my bed, giving myself sympathy about the lack of sleep I have (actually this is a lie.. I sleep loads. Im just always tired!) and I did wash my hair, so now need to sort the mop out. SHIT THE BED, how could I forget. Wednesday nights cocoa club. Egg drop challenege, myself and stevenso.. ended with the chef egging me! None of the childrens egg’s broke when we dropped them, and the chef told them they get to egg one of us. Stevenso buggered off, so I ran to the toilets, only to realise he would climb over the side.. WHAM, got me right on the head… and my respone ‘ow. Its not even hairwash day!’ haha! I will admit, funny as, and my hair did glow for the next day! All’s good hey!
So think im going to end this here, as its actually now Monday, I am writing this on Sunday but uploading it on Monday night while im blinging.. because I am a rebel like that, and that’s what I do nowadays (is it?!) I hope your enjoying these paragraphs of utter crap nonsense.
7 more weeks now is it? Time is flying I suppose.. wish the clouds were flying to somewhere else though to, we need sun this week. Not frigging rain. I AM NOT IN ENGLAND!
Love to everybody as always. And a big extra hug for nana, hope you get well soon! Peace out. as they say in the name of rappers.. maybe?!
or just standard love and kisses is more appropriate!

A nun in walking boots?!

I'm still gobsmacked by seeing this today... on a little walk with the kiddling winks, and boom right there infront of us two nuns with big hiking back packs and walking boots.. FANTASTIC! really was!

Just took a picture from a view out of our balcony.. its crazy to see the mountains half greeen really green and half white...
Today is Monday i do believe, i'm so lost with the days, as transfer day here is a saturday instead of sunday so now i feel its tuesday already but its not.. wishing the days away! Today i did a full day (yeah getting back into the swing of full dayers is harder than i remember. 6 little ones in nursery, a family that were in Val in the winter, so im all over that :)
We're off out on the drinks tonight, as miss stevenso is saying 'we're gonna get paraletic'... this is because its everyones day off tomorow.. so hello rotting in bed yes please! and considering we are pathetic and have only been out once, we thought lets go mental.. im sure ill have some amazing stories to tell next time i manage to blog myself.
I can actually tell you a funny story about last night, its quite pathetic to be fair but it will also make you laugh.. just like i was doing in the moment of the story! Myself, belfo and sarah decided to be 12 years old and do things like 'can you do the crab? or put your legs behind your head' kinda stuff.. after many giggles, and shouting at stevenso's ass actions (yes she had really bad ones to!) we decided to try pulling each other up from sitting backwards with our arms linked... belfo and sarah finally managed to do it after many hilarious tries. and then it was onto me and stevenso, and i laughed so much that i couldnt get up and fell onto stevenso's back and the next thing im laughing and laughing that i say 'i've wet myself'... this was actually true! so we tried once more during the midst of laughter and wet pants (literally) and mid way up.. sarah only went and farted, which sent us into ANOTHER fit of giggles and more tiddles! a random.. yet amusing evening.
They even got me watching twilight.. why did i let myself get involved i will never know?
and we also found a quality photo of the 4 of us childcare ladies back in our younger days..

who knew we were friends hey?
But we dont need to talk about the vampire crap or how i wet myself, which id like to also clarify that belfo did to, and sarah was close to a sharter! good times... poor chris he hates us how manly we are! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr yeah!
Works been fine, guests seem nice and the sunshine is out. tomorow we're having a lazy morning, followed by plans to take a picnic some beverageenys up the mountainarooney and sunbathe there till we die! (or get tired in realtiy!) i am excited for a lie in yes i am!
thats all from me over the water and up the mountains.
would like to say a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (huger than the man himself!) happy birthday to matthew for tomorow. and gutted im not there, but ill have a few vodkareenis for you tonight :)
loveage to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Coaches suck...

As I write this, funnily enough my first thoughts aren’t on the resort I am currently in, or how work will be… but, why am I not out partying hard? Have I really got that much older than all those seasons ago (what, is this now my 6th season or something stupid?!). But who really does care about that kind of crap anyway, because I have many interesting things to tell all about saas fee “the chocolate box alpine village”. Not so many stories to tell so far, just the basics (I’m sure they’ll come soon enough!)
On arriving in Saas, I remember the view’s from the windy, mountain roads asking myself… ‘but why am I really doing this AGAIN’… and then I realised, its something different, and im with the girls! So anyway, we pulled into resort (which is traffic free!).. where we were greeted by the MOST INCREDIBLE AUTOMOBILE THING IVE PROBABLY EVERY SEEN… also known as ‘a tuc tuc’.

Pretty much an ‘electric milk float style taxi’. Fantastic they really are! the luggage went on this.. and very excited we were! Headed to the accommodation, and en route I still kept thinking ‘what will we be doing in our days?’ ‘why didn’t I choose a beach’ and ‘will I get fit? Or just fat again?’. But no time to question myself.. we were soon at our accommodation. Apparently the best staff accom for esprit. To be fair, cannot fault it (maybe apart from the green grass coloured carpet in our room.. but we can deal with that!). steph, and myself, we share a room, with an extra bed (which to clarify we changed into the ‘day bed’ for chilling and watching dvds) and to even add to the exicetement we have a ‘stationary corner’ with a little desk and chair, where I can ‘write love letters to matt’. This desk also contains, vodka, food, and masking tape!! Its all going on at the minute, we live by this stationary table, we really do! All in all there is 9 of us in the accom, 2 to a room, and a massive living room and kitchen area.. so no escale rules go here WE CAN ALL DRINK TOGEVVA!! 3 bathrooms too, great times for me and sarah stevens!! 
The resort in general, is actually very beautiful how I would probably describe it, well looked after.. (its got to be considering they have the ‘shush police’ – patrolling the area to make sure people don’t talk above normal level… unlucky for Belfo then! – and the fact you cannot hang washing on a Sunday, or drive a car in resort, and also use the washing machines from 10am – 6pm and 10pm to 6am.. mental swiss people, oh yes!). Its crazy to be able to look up, still see some snow on the mountains, up in the glacier, and then look back down to see the grass so green and just… well, different is all I can say. Its still confusing me, with the lack of snow, from what we’re so used to in the Alps! Change is never a bad thing I suppose…. I’ll get back to you on that!
We didn’t manage to arrive till afternoon on Tuesday so by this time, everyone was SHATTERED, and considering… I didn’t even sleep the full coach journey, I was awake till Dover, when does this normally happen?! However the coach from Geneva to Saas was epic to, 11 of us (yeah this is pretty much the team, besides managers and head chef!) on a 5star bus, hello spread out! Enough jibber jabber. Had some introducing and what not, eating and getting familiar with our surroundings. Think we finally rocked back home about 8ish, where we unpacked (the making of the stationary corner and everything else exciting!) and settled in, followed by hitting the sack pretty early.. where guaranteed I slept like a babyyyyyyyyyyy! (and matt… there was no dribbling! Surprising huh?!)
On Wednesday we set up nursery and snow club, which were also pretty good rooms. Oh my, everything in this blog is all very ‘wow’, ‘fantastic’, ‘awesome’ and ‘epic’. Good times then I guess. I’ve also noticed how more ‘sophisticated’ (for myself anyway) that i’m writing, maybe its not the best idea to constantly write about the amount of times I have meetings with the floor, or the battle with food! I’m doing good so far I reckon with this?! But the bad times/fun times/odd times will sooon find themselves slipping into here  back to the real stuff, just a pretty standard day in a typical Esprit seasonnaire set up, cleaning. Cleaning. And more cleaning! EPIC! Not much music, we lacked it today, but playing the word game was fun and we managed to stay clear of the usual. Food. Belfo. Fat. Ginger. Belfo. Fat. Ginger!!
Once we had finished work, and walked back.. it came into conversation that “ooh maybe I fancy a run tonight, its cooler enough”. And this happened, myself, steph, belfo, chris and beth raring to go, sarah a little not so eager but none the less up for it. We managed to persuade rhona and jo to come aswell, and after 5 minutes, rhona, jo and chris had jetted off elsewhere. Who knew the altitude really affected your exercise and breathing?! Belfo loves to claim that she ‘won the race back’.. when it wasn’t even a run in the first place! All good fun!! We pretty much crashed straight after this, bed was much needed again!!
Thursday was another standard day of cleaning and what not.. but alas, we did get to experience mountain biking… (I would like to state this is the moment that you would have LOVED to have been a fly in the air to see me!). Bear in mind, I haven’t rode a bike in maybe something stupid like however many years, it was tricky.. but nonetheless I did get there alongside some slight moaning, heavy breathing and lots of telling myself ‘do not bail. Do not bail fatty’… I did it!! We went up some crazy track, stopping at a lovely park for a quick play, before heading back down. I reckon this was just as tough, only because I was paranoid I’d topple over (yes I still remember the head first front brake incident!).
Decided to see the wonderful Saas Fee at night, and had some beverageeenies! Headed out to popcorn, where we all managed to dance like complete and utter morons again! It was so great to not have to wear heels and side step to the beat… obviously the running man and the chicken came out to show everyone up! Shakira also made an appearance. But I will say, I didn’t do anything beyond silly that is on a normal evening for.. vodka could possibly be on the verge of us being friends?!

And now we’re currently at Friday evening, (this blog is a biggy isn’t it!... bored?!) Standard day AGAIN. Everyone who’s done a season, knows the drill. Until lunchtime, when we got the chance to do the adventure land zip wire course before finishing up on the longest zip wire in Europe over a gorge! Fantastic. Really was! Except after much faffing about the worry of my ass hanging over the harnesss or if I wouldn’t safely clip myself to the right things, we all did brilliant.. much good encouragement from all the lovely ladies to and some giggles alongside some shouts of ‘mum.dad. I love youuuuu’ when doing the tarzan wire! Extremely glad I did that, and will most likely do it again even though I was a little scared, not for the height factor, just because we were strapping ourselves into the clips so it was in our hands! Now im just bumming around… and cannot wait for bed (as always!) Guests are arriving tomorrow, so all hands on deck! Let’s see how this goes….!
So far, I cant actually explain how I feel. Obviously from 8 weeks of bumming around (don’t forget those 6days of work… I personally like to count them!!), I thought id be raring to go to work, but this is proving more difficult. Early mornings? I mean I know what they are, but I forgot we actually HAVE to get up for them! I cannot fault the resort, or accommodation, or the work load (so far! Except once again, we’re the unlucky childcare team who will be working loads because there is more children booked than expected! Hello afd’s!) But I still always keep that one question at the back of my mind… ‘when will the day come that I think, seriously its time to get a job?’. So far (I’m not saying never) I’m thinking uk bound after Tignes! Maybe its time, I spent more quality time with the family and friends (not everyday… goodness theyd kill me! But its nice to pop in every so often rather than, ‘hey im home’ and ‘right im off again next week!’). Will just have to wait and see.
So for now, I’m going to stop my complete utter nonsense that ive probably managed to write about for the last half hour or so, and let you get back to your lives which are so much more organised/cleaner/real/better paid/ or whatever else, than mine!. HELLO I AM A SEASONNAIRE VETERAN. I SERVED WITH ESPRIT.
A few photo's... a couple of us on a tour of the village... the first morning of work.. belfo loooking sexy as ever in her uniform. and then one from our only night out ha...



I’d like to do the gay things and say that I miss the family, as always, especially after the wonderful wedding weekend that we had… I’d still do it all again, and I still miss you all, even after the crazy drunk states you’ve all been in recently!
Loveage as always to the friends, who, I know I’ve not seen much since I’ve been back… yes I really am to lazy to get out of bed, or yes you guys do have a job, which I just cant understand this whole 9-5 mon-fri malarkey in the uk!
And a biggg special kiss for mr oscar owl, who I do especially miss (man im turning into a wet blanket again!), and was very sad to see still standing at fleet as we drove off on the coach (and then saw on the motorway by our side.. mama mcfred you crazy thing!). wish you were here mr LC! But to be fair, its nice to have a break from the toasties.. apart from today! Shh, don’t tell anyone.. your’s are better 
That’s all from over the water and up the mountains! I hope your still awake!
