As soon as it hit new year things have gone from being really dead in the hostel where I work on the reception desk to sooooooooo busy - I am meant to finish at 11am but one day I didnt leave till 12.45! It's partly to do with the Australian open which is currently happening in my home city (here!) which I havent gone to of course! But I quite like it there, and its a good job I didnt leave as soon as I started getting the childcare as I had no work from the agen...

Hello again everybody and happy new year! If not a little bit late! Cant believe I havent updated this since last year! Been quite busy you see!

I realised that the people I was working for were completely unreasonable people, and if I actually told them in advance that I was planning to leave they probably wouldn't pay me what I was owed, so I realised the only way to do it w...

Hello everyone just a real quick one as I have a spare 10 mins on the internet! Am currently on a lunch break - not from a proper job, from babysitting for the 3 children again! They have been mostly good today but manic in places (i.e. hitting each other, mild tantrums etc.) but nothing Gracie can't deal with! Have just been playing in the hotel where their staying this morning and going to the park this afternoon. So much better than the waitressing, which I am...
