    WTMA, I will enjoy the rest! 11 hours sleep last night, I feel like a new woman :rotfl:

    And yes, plan for the weekend is to get cracking on the website!

    I've put some more feelers out for cruise ship jobs, I can feel the seas calling me for an adventure... I'm giving myself the deadline of my birthday in April to get there before I place all my concentration on staying at home :)

    Sounds like you will have a lovely time to relax before the big move. Good luck with everything going to plan.

    I know many who have done the cruise ship tours. (Have you done it before?) they have a brilliant adventure, just don't get stuck on the cruise equivalent of Dover to Calais.

    One friend did a tour that was basically Norway/ Scandinavia & Russia. Freezing, but beautiful.
    Another has done the east coast of the north & South American continents
    And another almost lost the will to live on a Mediterranean circular cruise tour.

    I've done two long contracts in the past - one was Russia down Europe and all around the Med, the Caribbean, Eastern States and Mexico; the other was Alaska, Hawaii, Polynesia and Australia - but there's so much still to see! And it's the quickest way to save money. I just have to get a job :) I wrote to a new company today and they immediately requested a video audition so I spent the afternoon learning music and recording me singing the songs they asked for.

    This evening I've got a call planned with my aunty who lives in LA and I really need to get on with some packing!

    Signature is altered, debt is still going down :j it's going to slow down for a while, I can only make small PADs until I'm earning again.

    No packing done because my chat with my aunty lasted two and a half hours :D

    Plans for tomorrow are to work out, see my friend, hunt for jobs again, start on the website and PACK!!

    Well, last night I realised I only had re-confirmation for two of the three journey I booked for the ferries and, lo and behold, it was amended. Couldn't amend it until they opened the office this morning so I've had about 4 hours sleep :eek::eek: easily enough done, and as soon as that new confirmation comes through I'm going back to bed for a few hours...

    Confirmation came through and I managed to get another couple of hours sleep... I have to say that Irish Ferries have been nothing but wonderful with getting this sorted :T

    Final shop for the next couple of days (and ferry snacks) is done, and I picked up a new pair of work shoes in Mr T for €3.78. I know it's silly to buy things just before moving but I know I'll use them and they are the only things I've bought in the whole January sales aside from a dress that I've already worn three times because I love it so much.

    Trying to justify myself to myself. This is tragic :rotfl:

    Both of the friends I was due to meet today have called off - both have the same chest infection I've been battling. Everyone I know seems to have it at the moment! I'm counting myself very lucky that I managed to work through it and it hasn't been too bad...

    Right, I need to carry on packing, empty the car and see how much I can fit in there! I'm hoping I don't have to dismantle my chest of drawers and desk (the only furniture that's mine), fingers crossed!

    There is a lot of illness going around at the moment. Hope you say well this side of the Irish Sea.

    Well, my car is full to the brim! Having checked out my friend's car's specs online, I don't think I'll have to dismantle anything... I'm shattered after all that lifting!

    Time for a shower, small PAD, dinner, Netflix and get started on the website!

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
