So haven't posted in a while and as im moving to Paris in 5 DAYS I thought I should revive my blog a bit!

So me and Sarah managed to find an apartment at long last! its a nice little place in the 11th arrondissement and near republique which is good for all the metro lines and stuff.

I will have to start packing soon but havent got round to it yet as my aunty, uncle and two cousins are down at the moment. Its been really great to see them and we've been to london and parks and stuff and had a really lovely meal last night at this place called the cowper arms- i'd definitely recommend it!

And I had my last shift at Sportsworld for probably a year now, it feels so good to know I wont be back there for a while! Some of the people are nice but I just get so bored!

I'm also having a leaving party on saturday with my everyone and some friends of the family and stuff which should be really good, and I dont have to worry about money when we're out because my student loan came in yesterday- Wahoo!

I know this blog is sounding incredibly BORING at the moment but i'm sure it will liven up once I actually GET to France and I can tell you all about my Parisian escapades :D

Well thats about it for now, will check in again soon, thanks for reading!

Bad times!

So unfortunately literally the day before me and Sarah were about to sign our housing contract it turns out it was a scam! At least we found out in time and didn't loose out on any money but it's just so disappointing, the house was perfect and we're back to square one!

A lot of people we've spoken to say its probably best to just go to Paris and look around, apparently there's a church that puts up new apartment listings every morning and lots of people have found a house that way. Mum has been looking at Eurostar deals to see if we could go in a few weeks.

And unrelated to my year abroad but it's only a week before I go to Sweden! I'm so excited to see the kids again and fingers crossed we can go camping. It feels like ages since I last went but I think its only about a year but all the kids are growing up so fast and I don't know if i'll get a chance to go over next summer, with any luck i'll be working.

That's about it for now, i'll keep you all posted

So this is my first post on my blog, a tad early I know but I thought I should make a start before I forget again. Now it will be quicker and easier to update you all on what i'm up to. The current situation is:

- me and Sarah are in the process of signing the contract for our house or Rue Du Cygne Paris, there has been a bit of a delay whilst we were checking to see if it was in a dodgy area but it all seems fine, thank god!

-Planning to move out to Paris around the 7th August and will hopefully be starting at Screenrush.co.uk about the 16th so I have a week to get used to everything.

Well that's about it so far, will update with details in the near future, watch this space!
