Scary Day
Today we had our induction to the course which was quite scary for those like me not having done formal writings of any sort .........ever, im sure there are many others in the same boat. Today we also had interviews with various important people of the college which went well.
Afterwards we went to the Fox on the Hill as it was curry club night, (we missed the curry but went for a drink) it was a good time to get to meet a few of the families which we had not really met.
All in all a pretty good day. And to top it off we finally got a chest of draws for the bedroom - only a little thing to you, but a big thing for us!!
We finsh at 11.10am tomorrow morning - so off to the doctors to try and register!
Hope you are all ok - missing you lots.

Miss you all!
Tonight we had so many messages off our lovely friends saying how much they missed us and were thinking and praying for us! (Thanks for the photo!!)
We just wanted to let you know that we are missing you SO much. We really appreciate getting texts & cards off you all, it's nice to know we have not been forgotten!!
We have had a strange day today. We went into Camberwell to register at the doctors and go to the dentist. For those who have not heard i have had really bad tooth ache since we arrived and my face is swollen - great for making new friends!! Anyway its taken me all week to see a dentist & eventually today was the day!!
I have to say it was worth the wait, he was the loveliest dentist ever!! That was until he told me that i needed to go back for an hours appointment & charged me £15 to say 'I can't treat you today, you can't open your mouth wide enough (I know that's a first!!) so you will need some antibiotics.' £15 for that!! Anyway whilst i was seeing the dentist Karl was registering with the doctors. He had been in there an hour before I arrived to meet him and he still hadn't been seen, but he had chatted the receptionist up! He has a funny story to tell about peeing in a bottle, but I will leave that for him to tell you in person!!
After the eventful morning we headed back to college to get changed and head to THQ for IT training - what fun!! 4 hours later we were getting the train back home.
BIG DAY tomorrow as it's our official welcome. Basically our session starts tomorrow - so please pray for us.
For those who are worried about us we are settling in very well, and this week we have felt more at home & getting much more confident with living in London. I think we might even say we are enjoying ourselves - but the work hasn't started yet!!!
We best be off to go and iron our shirts!
love you lots xxx

Our New Home
Here is a littler taster of our flat. We will post some more pics when we have tided up!!!
We have arrived!
It seems to have taken us ages, but we are here! We have arrived at Denmark Hill.
After taking a few days to recover walking up the two flights of stairs about 200 times with boxes, we have unpacked and made our little flat look like home! (Thank you to both sets of parents for helping us out!!)
It is only small, but very homely!
London life is a little crazy - but I think we will get used to it soon enough. Karl said the other day that he felt like a little boy in a big city!!! It has taken a bit of getting used to not jumping in the car to get somewhere!! We have done a lot of walking and public transport is becoming a way of life!
We have met some lovely people so far, but still don't really know people if that makes any sense?! We are off to the pub tonight to get to know some people a little better.
Hopefully we will put some pics on here soon of our little home.
Remember to keep in touch! Missing you all!!!
