6 days to go!!

My time at The Lab came to an end last week which was a shock to the system. We had a couple of great nights out, played some Just Dance (AMAZING!) and at the end I got a huge card full of lovely leaving messages as well as a new beanie and buff. Thank you so much guys! My sister Jenny also made me a 'Bon Voyage!' tray of brownies THANKS! I'll have muchos fun chomping that down this week.

I finally made it home to Somerset yesterday, but it wasn't easy. I first had to get from Reading to Ilford in order to see my registered doctors and get a medical letter, me and my uncle were doing so well on directions there until the road we needed was closed. We drove about a bit whilst referring to a good old fashioned A-Z, and when we eventually found the right road I realised I could have looked the whole thing up on my phone.....the wonders of technology when you remember it's there. I was poked and prodded for 10 mins before doc decided I was ok, urgh. With that done the next step was to head for Granny's in Fleet where she gave me a cup of tea and a piece of brownie, lovely. Dad then took me the rest of the way home, making the whole round trip about 9 hours. Thanks to all who were involved on this adventure, I'd still be walking to Somerset without you.

I got into my bedroom and was confronted with a tower of boxes full of clothes I want to sift through to take to France. Ummmmm the only trouble is I can't remember what is in what box anymore, so tomorrow's mission is to take apart this monstrosity and find my clothes! If this is my last blog, it's because the giant game of jenga went horribly wrong.

I'm glad I have this week to sort everything else out that's needed, seems I'm not missing much in Morzine through lack of snow. Come on Frosty show yourself!!!

21 days to go!

So here we are, my very first blog EVER how exciting! I'm planning to update this as often as possible so watch this space!

I'm going to be working for a lovely company called Cornish Snow as a chalet host. I'll mainly be based in Chalet L'ubac but may have to jump ship to Chalet Andrew if we get really busy. This company have already shown themselves to be brilliant, Carolyn (owner) arranged to have my board bag picked up by her husband Paul at my parents house and took it out to Morzine for me. It's one less thing to worry about and one less thing to carry so it was smiles all round and big fat thank you's to these guys.

As for packing, well that's been tricky. Half of my gear is in Reading with me whilst the other half has gone home to Somerset, in two weeks I'll be reunited with all my junk and hopefully find what I need to pack. Since that's out of the question at the moment, I'm getting to grips with my new toy, GoPro HD Hero2. I've never had a helmet cam before but I thought for a winter season it was a must! Hoping to make some really good video's with this EEEEEEEEP!
