Hey all!

Well, we've finally left Sydney!! Had to be done...we had been there for nearly 4 months, working and partying!!! And not good staying places for too long as start to get settled and attached to the place! Had an amazing time in Sydney, so much to do, our friends and Ste came over which was wicked, and had so many other friends there - some from Huds and loads who we'd met along the way (many from Thailand...was good to see them again!)!!! But weather was turning pretty dismal and our project ended which meant we were outta a job! So time to go...

So here we are in Surfers Paradise! We liked this place when moving down the east coast and its called the sunshine coast, so sounds perfect for us hey! We sorted ourselves out with an apartment before we got here and we have done so well with it! It is on a holiday resort right in the heart of surfers, so have a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, hot tube (which is quite amazing when you stroll in at 5am for hot tube time! had some fun flapping round in that hey Nik!)...! Got a 2 bedroomed apartment which is massive! had couple of friends stay and realised we can sleep 8 people! Nik and Sar are in a twin room, and I have my own room with an en suite...check me hey!

Done loads since we got here! Found some cheap car hire (not even 15 quid a day between the 3 of us...thanks to me being 25 now! Oldies get it cheaper! eek!)...so been driving all over! Done a beach crawl as over 40 beaches along the gold coast, all are gorgeous! Then went to Dreamworld which is a massive themepark! That was funny! Drove into the Tambourine Mountains, and visited a wine distillery...that was good! Not for the driver though! Boo!!!! Erm, what else!!! Just tanning it up and seeing new places really! The weather has been sorching...37 degress most days so my tans finally coming along!

Started with the job search now! Had a couple of interviews but most of the companies bit of a sham really! Commission only, and after the hairdresser job none of us will ever do commission only again! Standing for days and making no money! no way! Few jobs going in bars and

This was strange...bar made totally of ice! Even the glasses you drink out of! Mum you'd hate it! Freezing!
restaurants so may have to do that for a while...but first we're all going to Fiji for a holiday (heard us, a holiday! As if we've not had a long enough hol!!) hehe!

Going to Fiji tomoz for 5 days! The one place I have always wanted to go so really excited! Didn't think couild afford it, but thanks to bday money (thanks mum, dad, Gma and gdad!) we're off!

So guess I'll leave it there and fill you in on my return!

Miss ya's all!!
