... me in the movie and so I have to do it. At first I said I wasn't sure, since it is an independent film and he has already gone over budget, so I would not get paid. I really wanted to do it, but I couldn't see how I could due to finances, as it had already took me 7 yrs to get back. Jerry kept on to me, and so I spoke to a few friends and they all told me it was an opportunity I could not afford to miss, even if I had to pay to get back on credit card. So I told Jerry 'yes I would do it ...

... br>Wandering around the village we browsed numerous antique shops and a shop owned by Prince Charles, although it must have been his RDO because we didn't see him there.<br><br>The Snooty Fox, a restored hotel around 500 years old was our next home for the night. Another lovely dinner, this time Grilled Chicken, Lamb and tarty, chocalately things for "puddin" as the local lass serving us called it.<br ...

... a couple of jobs, ski resort jobs, retail.. something a bit different to what I do. I did also apply for some computer jobs as well just to see how I go.. As yet nothing!! I'm just wondering if they disregard me because I haven't got my national insurance no yet.. ah well it should be here soon. I'm a bit miffed actually because some of the applications took a bit of time to do and they don't even have the curtesy to even acknowledge your application.<br><br ...

... to Pizza express.. and they have these entrees called Dough Balls!! lol more fat and more grease to eat!! By this stage I was finding it hard to walk normally down the stairs to the toilet.. woops<br><br>I think we ended up at another pub and with Ally's brother and his friends.. was quite a fun night but the headache the next day.. ouch.

Today I have spent the day teaching at the University of West England. It was great to really talk about 4-H as it seems to be very unknown. I have also had an opportunity to hear about mental health issues in Argentina, Croatia, and Ghana. It was a wonderful experience. The down side was that I had to be up at 5:30 this ...

... megabus was nowhere to be seen, so we stood around in front of an old London (red, double decker) bus. This bus was just about to go when Natasha hit on the brilliant idea of asking that bus driver if he knew where our bus was, and yes you've guessed it - that was our bus.
