Sorry haven't been in touch, not a lot of news of late that's probably why. I started work a few weeks ago, temping in a call centre, but last Tuesday I started a fulltime permanant role with a company called Corpex who are an Internet hosting company so things are going well. I'm trying to get a second job at the moment in a pub at nights to try and pay off my debt and save for more travels, so hopefully can get one of those soon as well.
Grand Final day here was great, had a best mate, his girlfriend and his sister come over from France to spend it with Kate and I. Started drinking at 4am, game started at 5:30am, watched it in a nearby pub that was chockers and had an unbelievable atmosphere, they also sold meat pies which are very scarce over here so that was a bonus.
Besides that haven't been doing a lot, just catching up with a few people here and there, going out for a couple of beers a couple of times a week, and watching football (soccer) at pubs on weekends. Trying not to spend too much at the moment as I have nothing to spend of my own money anyway, so being responsible about it.
I'll try to keep in touch a bit more over the next couple of months, haven't got to much planned in that time, might go to Northern Ireland, and possibly Scotland and Wales but would need to get 2 jobs soon in order to possible do so.
