I am getting really, really excited now about my impending trip. I have only one and a half weeks of work left! They offered me two months more work and I was gutted to turn it down but I have already made plans. When I get to Tassie I am going to meet up with a couple of friends for my birthday and we will have a night out in Hobart, it is going to be so much fun! They have been fruit picking for the last month or so, it will be intresting to find out how they have coped.

This weekend I went to...wait for it....Kings Cross! Friday night was brilliant, I met the Fratelli's at Madame de Biers and afterwards got kicked out of a strip club, two of my biggest achievements to date. The god awful hangover I had the next day, however, was not so impressive. And what is the problem with getting up on the pole in a strip club anyway? I was giving the girls a free lesson, they should have been thanking me, how ungrateful!

The next day I went to lunch and had a $10 steak, it was probably one of the best I have ever eaten! The meat out here is so much better quality, as is the fruit and veg. I will never see food in the same way when I come back to England. It's true about the chocolate, it doesn't taste as nice. I am working my way through all the brands though. Nestle and Mars don't taste the same as back home but cadbury's isn't too bad, I will keep the chocolate updates coming ha ha!

Next weekend is the Mardi Gras, so a few of us are going out for a very civilised meal and then on to the club Home at Darling Harbour. I haven't had a night out in Darling Harbour yet so expect more dodgy photos.

I have had some bad news too, my poor Nan was rushed into hospital on Saturday morning and had to have emergency key hole surgery, but they have finally got the root of the problem and fingers crossed she will now be in a lot less pain and have a good chance of recovery. Get well soon Nonna!

Not much else to report. Moving back to the Chili Blue next week, so I will have to wake up ridiculously early for work to make the 1 and a half hour commute here. Oh and please note I don't have access to facebook at work, which is pants and means I can't keep in touch with everyone properly. My email add is [email protected] if anyone wants to stay in touch through that. (Sam, email me back b****!!!).

Anyway tha's me blogged out. TTFN!
