FINALLY GOT MY CRB CERTIFICATE THROUGH!!!!! It only took them 6 months andddd.... *drumroll* it turns out I am not a criminal! Woohoo! After waiting for so long a lot of us all started getting them within a couple of days so that was exciting haha!
Just re-read my last post - I need to email the arrivals team. In fact I may do that as soon as I finish this ... unless I get distracted by something which is always a danger with me! Yesterday the last group of CRP applicants got their results from the face to face interviews which is pretty exciting as it means more people to get to know! I had been giving advice to a guy through the WDWIP forum for months and felt like a proud mentor when I found out he was successful!!
I missed out on a Disney meet up :( Very sad face! On Sunday I was originally going to meet with Connor and Lynne (who I haven't met yet) as Lynne was in Glasgow... but I was working. Bah! I was originally meant to finish at 12... then it became 3... and I didn't leave till after half 4! The joys of working in hospitality during December! I've been working long shifts and feel pretty exhausted by it all, but thankfully the party stuff is nearly all over. I had my first staff night out a couple weeks ago and that was fun! Then we were supposed to have our official staff lunch on Sunday there but it was moved to January (meh!) cos we are just too busy. So I arranged to go out with a bunch of staff on the Sunday anyway... another fun night although by the end I was so tired I could have cried! Think I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. Then I ended up going out last night as well and again I was really tired but I managed to make the most of it. Probably not such a bad thing that I've been so tired as it makes me behave myself on nights out!
In other exciting news, I just bought myself a new camera... I really wanted a good one for taking to Florida and ended up spending a small fortune on the new Samsung Galaxy camera. Merry Christmas to me haha!! I think once Christmas and New Year is out the way then I'm pretty much going to become a hermit as I really need to prioritise and start hardcore saving and getting organised!! Only 16 weeks to go now so before I know it, I'll be back off to London to get my visa!

Tuesday 4 December 2012
It's fricken freezing!!!
December is here and its so damn cold!! Already had snow in Scotland, right now my garden is still covered in it, put my snow boots on for the first time this year yesterday .... kind of glad I'm getting some use out of them as I won't be needing them next year!
And on that note.... 18 weeks today I will be somewhere over the Atlantic! Which reminds me - I need to email my flight details to the arrivals team. My flight schedule was changed a couple of times so I was waiting until it was final before emailing them. Still not had anything back from my Criminal Background Check, but this seems to be true for most people. Everything takes sooooo long!
I've not been sleeping very well recently, I've been working really long shifts and then not being able to sleep until 6-7am and then waking up constantly due to nightmares. Or lying awake nearly in tears thinking about saying goodbye to people, ridiculous I know but there's a few people I'm really going to miss. Then there's thinking about how I'm throwing away a relationship in order to do this. I know I won't regret it but I'm scared of being forgotten about and loosing contact with people :( And now I have a cold and I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself! Work is really busy right now as it kicks into Christmas party nights so I'm really glad I'm off today as I desperately want to feel better before tomorrow! My first Christmas night out is on Thursday and I'm looking forward to it but have a pit of dread in my tummy as my work is soooooooooooooooooo busy the next day and I need to be feeling fresh! My head hurts just thinking about it!
I'm all over the place emotionally lol, I'm just too tired to make myself think sensibly anymore! I had another little Disney meet up a couple weeks ago with Connor, Hayley and Abbie. This time instead of Hayley coming through to Glasgow, we were going to head to Edinburgh which is closer to her but the weather was pretty horrid so we got off the train, she picked us up and we went for lunch at Nandos where it was warm and dry! Although we sat for quite some time talking about all things Disney/CRP related and could tell that the staff were getting annoyed so we went to Starbucks to continue our chat. Then on the train home there was a guy who actually got up and moved to the other side of the carriage to get away from our chat!! We weren't even loud or annoying, he just clearly didn't like our conversation topics! Cheek of him lol!
I'm sure I'll cheer up again, determined to have a good Christmas and make the most of everything and I can't wait to see my little nephew getting spoiled lol!
