It has certainly been a hectic few days......sorting banks, phones, bus passes, cycle routes, visiting A&E and socialising with new friends! Wednesday was the scariest night of my life. All I was doing was chilling with some oatcakes and courgette mix I'd made and managed to give myself a severe nut allergy attack! I was on the phone to my friend when I realised I was going into the attack and had to call an ambulance. After 8 hours of hospitals, drips, inje...

Today was a loooooong day- we got up at the crack of dawn and had a huge list of things to get through before the end of the day- including going to the Andalusian Government to get a residence card and moving into our apartment...not really 5 minute jobs!! Me, Annie and Sam went together in order to make it less boring and I was surprised at the security on the door!

When we arrived at the hotel, it was what we expected-not particularly upper class standard at all! And it turned out me and Annie were sharing a bed lol! Today we got up at 7:15am and set off in search of a...
