False Alarm

Well today, this evening in fact, I almost had a Disney related heart attack! I received an email from Yummy jobs stating that the dates of my programme had to be changed because of American holidays.

At first I thought that my programme had been cut short, leaving on the 2/12/08 and returning on the 12/4/09, rather than the previously planned 27/11/09. But then after a few moments of screaming like a banshee, I realised that I had to get into the American way of thinking and invert the dates. The result....an extra TWO WEEKS added to my year long programme! Woop woop. So I am now going to be there until the middle of December 2009 instead of the end of November 2009. RESULT!!

Next up, I will be booking my flights before they get too expensive and sorting out medical insurance. Oh and another bit of exciting news....Heather and her friend are coming to visit me soon, aaaaaaaand I'm going to visit the legend that is Matt! Next month has just got a whole lot better!

I am getting more and more excited now about going and cannot wait to leave this place behind for a year. Although I will of course be sad to leave certain people behind, but they will all be visiting me anyway.

Tonight I have been sitting in my garden full of candles, watching stars. The best part of my night? Thinking about the fact that I will soon be laying on a beach with some great friends watching the stars in the tropical Florida climate. It just doesn't get much better than that!

Birthday Shinanigans

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Well, I am now officially an adult, but that doesn't mean I'm planning on growing up any time soon! To celebrate the occassion I decided to make cakes which were appropriate for the next year of my life. So I made Disney cakes!

Here are some pics for you all...enjoy!

All About James

All About James
Apparently, people don't want to read about me and what I've been getting up to so this post will not be about the fact that I have received my uni results (a 2:1 woooohoooo), got a new job or had an awesome 21st Birthday outing last night...nope, instead this post will be dedicated to the legend that is James Hare.


"Some say that his blood group is Nitrous Oxide, others say he fought off the dinosaurs with Fred Flinstone's car...all we know is he's called James Hare."


James is a young man who lives in Teeside where he eats cookies, grows bonsai trees and spends all his spare time talking to awesome ginger haired girls on msn. Currently he is involved in a little project we like to call the CRP, the Cultural Representative Programme. That's right, one day, some time soon, James will be moving to Florida to work in Epcot. Special? I think so!


If you see this lad out and about, be sure to stop and say hi. There really isn't a nicer guy who you could talk to randomly. (To get into his good books though, make sure you are armed with a plate of cookies, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, a Disney dvd or a warm smile and a big hug!)

*James - you are priviledged!*

5 MONTHS TODAY!

5 MONTHS TODAY!!

I thought I'd mark this momentous occassion by posting some sparkly fireworks pics...

Yes that's right people, in 5 months time I will be moving into my new apartment in Florida, wooooooooooooo hooooooooooooo! I am officially VERY excited now and can't wait until the time finally comes to move across the pond. The hardest thing is chatting to all my new Disney friends and talking about the plans that we all have for our time over there. It just makes me want to up and leave right now. Also I know of several people going out there in July and September who I will miss talking to whilst they are away and playing in the parks. But I'm sure we'll all catch up when I finally make it to WDW in December.

However, before moving away I still have lots to do. Such as turning 21 (next week, yay!), booking a flight, sorting medical insurance, working and saving my pennies, selling my car, graduating from uni (hopefully) and all sorts of other mundane things. At least I already have my suitcases bought and know that I can pack A LOT into them!

Anyways, I think that's it for now, I just wanted to share my excitement with you all at having passed the 6 month mark and finally got to a more sensible date!
