First bar tending experience
Just spent five hours being swiss bar maids ^_^ Sore feet all round but it was quite fun and we've learnt next time to wear comfy shoes, if you have to wash glasses too keep an eye on how many are clean and dirty, get sleep before hand so you don't get too tired and eat a lot before too so you don't have to starve or try and eat while you're serving people. It was fun though and pretty easy too. Too tired to talk to much about it though XD

OH EM GEE!
Just booked our flights! It is now officially official! October the first. Veeeery long flight XD Made sure that it was on a 727 rather than the one which is like a flying hotel. We don't quite trust them; what if it just suddenly fell out of the sky?!? XD
Later we're going to put up a photo of ourselves as well (tomorrow probably). No backing out now!!! So scary. Next thing to do is probably book a hostel for when we first arrive and for Christmas-or alternatively email round anyone we remotely know and see if they'll put us up for a bit.
We've got so much to sort out, not to mention earning money to worry about. I hope over the summer there'll be opportunities for things (literally we are willing to do almost anything-garden, paint, babysit, clean, so we're hoping we'll find something). With the two of us and no real outgoings I hope it won't be too hard to save up the money we need as a starting point. I'd love a part time job, but with no real experience at anything it's not easy. People are surprisingly unwilling to give jobs to people with no experience, even if they're jobs a monkey could do.
Hopefully I've got some babysitting lined up (fingers crossed) so if that's regular then that'll help and we've three whole months after Laura's finished her exams to find odd jobs and stuff like that to do.
It's starting to feel real at last. It was feeling a bit like 'might never happen' type thing, but now we have flights it's like 'phew, we are really going'. We are so going to fall to pieces in the first few weeks, but then I think we'll pull ourselves together and have such a good time. It's going to be awesome!!!!
