Sooooo… here’s a quick update on what’s been happening over the last week:
I arrived in Dublin, Republic of ireland, last week and Wednesday – where friends of my BF (of 4 months) picked me up. BF is doing a 6 week stint in the Irish midlands and asked me to join him for the last 2 weeks. I couldn’t think of a more awesome way to spend the holiday :0) I bought my tickets, packed as little as possible (BF wanted to buy me some winter outfits – seeing as how SA and ROI have WAY DIFFERENT views on what a “chilly” winter is!) and zipped over.
On Thursday morning, BF drove through from further inland to surprise me. Oh and surprise me he did!!! He woke me up quietly – and dumped me.
Thankfully his friends gave me shelter till I could fly back to Heathrow. THANK YOU GUYS!!! When the waves settle and fortune fills my sails again – I’m taking the two of you on a luxury cruise! (Or a braai at my place, perhaps?)
Right. I changed my ticket (from ROI to UK) and flew to London last night. The alteration cost me £104.00 – almost 4 times the origional ticket’s price. I can’t afford to change my ticket back to SA (not at that rate!) and have decided to make the most out of the remaining 2 weeks in the UK.
Thank you to my dear friend Ella, who’s taken me in for the first few nights!! My superstar!!
Next up – rethink the budget. I’ve contacted the bank and asked for a credit increase – which shouldn’t be a problem… apart from the days required for admin.
Priorities:
1) Winter clothes
2) Food
3) Comfortable shoes
4) Train tickets
5) 4 Nights’ accommodation
6) Chronic medicine
7) Camera?
Most galleries are free, thank heavens!
