Bleedin' Nora

Ok, as ever, it's been a while... and I don't really have much to say... I'm still in France, for anyone who hasn't noticed. And it's dragging me down more and more. It's not so bad just now because I've got back into the routine of school and my sleeping patterns have picked up again (by this time next week I'll be mid-afternoon kipping again like last term) I struggled the first couple of weeks, being back. It just seemed so much more difficult coming back from xmas than it did from toussaints. And so much more lonely. Though I'm all good today, the weekends are becoming really long and tedious. There's nothing to do that doesn't involve spending money or being caught up in horrible crowds of people. Besides which, all I actually want to do is stay in bed and eat chocolate.

Tonight I'm going for a nice meal in St Michel cos Ed's back, yay! And I need to grill Emmabob about the "fit French guy" she met. I can finish my camera film too, I may go and take some night time snaps of the Louvre. I think it might be the only thing in Paris/ St Germain I haven't taken a photo of yet.

I'm looking forward to going back to England for good, for many reasons. Dave has found us a new house so there's all the exciting moving in stuff as usual (I love moving house!!) and I have to find myself a new job (thanks there to Hustler for never paying it's staff and ending up going into liquidisation meaning I have no job to return to!!) I'm not looking forward to finding a new job cos I know it'll be hard to start with. But I can't imagine going all summer with feck all to do. Plus I want to learn to drive this year, so I'm going to need as much money as possible. Hopefully I'll have a nice tidy sum when I leave here, what with getting deposits back and things like this (plus money from the CAF if they ever get off their fat frog-munching arses and do something about it!) (And I'm not being racist calling them frog-munchers, I'm allowed cos I had this convo with a kid today and I'm seriously pissed off with these people so I can call them whatever I like!!!) Another reason I'll be glad to be abck in England - get away from France's bureacracy. That's a minor issue though.

Home on the 4th feb, yayums!! Supposed to be flying, thought I haven't had any confirmation yet, so knowing my luck it's not properly booked and I'll be stuck at Orly at 7.30am. Still, anything beats the eurostar. Lots of plans if I do make it back. Mez's b'day at Subculture, meeting up with gemma a few times, visiting me mam etc etc. Spending more time with Dave, yada yada, the usual. Eating as much chocolate and bacon sandwiches as I like.

Just generally reminding myself that I am still English, honest!!!
