Travelling Post No. 6 - 12 days to go

If this post seems forced, it is I am only responding to requests to posts from the plethora of fans I have - or rather the one person who said I needed to post more.

I have 12 days until I leave for the rest of the world, it’s all really exciting. I have met a couple of the people going and have been emailing some of the others, a couple even have bebo sites. I’m still nervous but meeting up with some and conversing with others has made me a little less apprehensive.

I don’t have much to do now, just spoke to Vodaphone and I will still have my old mobile number in OZ (country code is 0061) but it’ll cost me 35p to send/receive a text message and cost me 75p to receive a phone call. The main reason I am keeping is I can ring home for a 75p connection charge and use all my free minutes for only £8per month. I am going to get another phone out in Oz but that will be for a contact number for people in Australia. Those in the UK who wish to stay in touch it’ll be best sticking to email, bebo and here. I will also be sending postcards and if I haven’t asked for your contact details and you want postcards then email me your address.

Think I am pretty much organised now. I still need to pack although I think I might leave that until next weekend or the day before. Went shopping with my sister the other week so I have all the clothes I wanted to take, I’m going to have to buy shorts and swimming shorts out there but they will be cheaper in Oz than here in the UK so that isn’t a problem.

All that is left to do is wait, and of course have a going away party. So anyone who happens to be in the vicinity of Atherton wants to come to a Halloween fancy dress party (I am going as a dead gangster) I am having one on Saturday 28th at the Masons Arms, where I work.

Think the next post will be when I am out there.... which is scary.
