It's done!!

Sorry for the lack of posts!

Thankfully the assignment is all done and handed in!!

Had a very busy weekend. For those who don't know it was our official 'Welcome' to college. Family and friends came down to see us and cheer us on. It was lovely seeing everyone again and finding out what was going on back home. Thank you to all our families who travelled along way to come and see us, hope you enjoyed yourself!!

With the flat being so small it was very hard trying to accommodate everyone so we had to do it in shifts!! We only wish we had more time to spend with our families, so make sure you come back and see us soon!

For the second weekend in a row we visited Krispy Kreme - for those who don't know they are the best doughnuts ever!! The problem is they are moreish and it works out a lot cheaper if you buy 24. Don't worry we did share them with everyone!!

As for College...

Lectures have now started and the timetable is in full flow. We are not in any of the same lectures, which is a good thing, but Karl has been put in a class with one of his friends that likes to get him into trouble so I am not sure how long that will last!!

We are feeling settled but sometimes the whole thing is a little over whelming. We really miss everyone, and as the weeks go by it doesn't get any easier! But we are happy, and have made some really good friends.

Karl has not added anything to this post as he is STILL on the toilet - he says it's the change of water!! Kev - we are running out of toilet rolls, got any spare?!!!

Will post some photos in the next post to show you what we have been up to!

Take care & please keep in touch

Miss you loads!

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
