Today was one of those rare days where I don't have either job to do, so I woke up at 9 for the breakfast and then stayed in bed for the rest of the morning. I passed the 'free stuff' cupboard when I got up and was delighted with my new red shorts (Jade's old ones- the Scottish girl who was in our old room), pyjamas and wedge high heels (from Stacey- she thought she had sorted out all her stuff and tidied it out of our room to only find all of it back in there ...

Shannon, a girl who works in the kitchen, came in today to talk to Alan because he had apparently fired her on the phone but he hadn't actually told her, and I think she was quite upset about it. She has kids and so obviously needs the financial support, and has taken days off because either her or her kids were ill. Bella and Brenton were both feeling slightly under the weather today- apparently last night was the most drunk Bella has been in 3 years. I deci...

Jay and Masa made me a massive avocado and mushroom wrap today- it was so big that I was full after one of the halves so I took the rest of it home.

Masaki made me laugh because he thought Bella was called Semolina, and Jay let me ...

We also went to the fruit and veg market and I brought a vegetable called a choke, and some fruits called quarabias and santol. Stacey went out for a meal at Cactus Jack's with Bex and other hostel people, but I was at work so c...

Today, me, Alice, Bex and Stacey finally managed to go to Hogs Breath and share a rocky road sundae- they're not as good as a candy mania from the Hungry Horse because they don't have as much sweets in. Me and Alice also shared some cheesy garlic bread, and Bex had some chicken tenders and Hogs tail fries. Josh gave us 50% discount on the sundae and 25% off the other food which I thought was a bit stingy of him, we did get free drinks though. Stacey had to go ...
