Got My Accomodation Details Today!



Not gonna lie, I'm shitting myself!

I had my leaving party for work yesterday, it was really good fun - I'm gonna miss these guys loads!



I met some soldiers as well and I'm sure the one I was speaking to the most dropped something in my drink. Kinda scary. I left my drink with him and went to the toilet, came back, had a few sips and the next thing I know I can't stop being sick. My friends had to ring my Dad to come and get me from the city and when I got in the car I passed out. I only had three glasses of wine and two vodka/cranberries which is nothing! BUT I managed to not lose my passport or my phone or my bankcard! Success! The next day (yesterday) I was dying, I didn't feel like myself and I couldn't stop being sick. My Dad had to go in to my bedroom and clean my sick up hahaha, bless him.
I'm fine today though! 
So lesson of the year - never leave your drinks with anyone! Bad bad bad idea!

Anyway I only have three days left in the UK and at the moment I'm waiting on my Dad's iPad being delivered so I can set that up for him. My brother's wife is currently in labour so I hope he or she makes an appearance before I leave! How exciting!

I have a few things to do before I leave. I need to go to Lynne's house and get some clothes that I've left there, I need to post HMRC my tax refund form, I need to make sure my Dad is confident in the use of his iPad before I leave - sort his PayPal/Skype/eBay out etc. I need to visit friends and family, finish packing and throw stuff away which I can't take with me. I need to go and get my DVD from Sarah's house. I lso need to go and enquire about my vaccinations from the Doctors. Aaaaaahhh! But I'm so lazy! lol!

Anyway, Emirates sent me my accomodation today! I live in Talal Behole Building, Al Nahda 1. So that's good! I live right next to the airport and shopping mall! Perfect! I'm so pleased I didn't get Sarab, so so pleased. A guy I speak to on FaceBook who already lives in Dubai sent me some photos of Talal, it's lovely! I'm also speaking to a few ladies who join on the same day as me and they are going to live in Talal too, just a few doors away from me! Woohoo! So that's great!

I've also decided that I'm taking two pieces of hand luggage and my hold luggage. I will argue with check-in if they say anything that I've been given a first class luggage allowance (Despite flying Economy) therefore I'm entitled to first class hand luggage too! Hmph! lol.

I'll keep you all updated over the next couple of days xx


UPDATE: I would like to welcome Thomas Ethan Woods in to the world! 10lb1oz! Woohoo :D xx
