Last night, we all met up in Wagamammas and stayed there for a very long time. It was so good. We chatted, shared stories, moved around so we could sit next to different people, and laughed and laughed and laughed. I am so blessed to have such good friends. So blessed. We hadn't changed. We still got on like a house on fire and started chatting like we had seen each other yesterday! It was great! All my friends looked so glamourous...I am glad I have been slightly influenced by Betty and Catalina and started wearing dresses. I would have stuck out like a sore thumb otherwise. We then went for drinks and chatted, laughed and giggled.

Earlier in the day I had gone back to St Margarets Sports Centre. It was bliss. Oh I have missed that swimming pool. I remember Laura asked before I left "Where are you going to swim when you go home? Are there any outdoor pools?" No! But I have told you about my amazing workplace around the corner with the best people/swimming pool ever right? I walked in and it literally felt like home. I got to see Stefan again which was great and Stefan, Alice and I chatted on poolside for an hour before I actually went for a swim. I then saw Shelley and Sam which was so much fun! The crew are going out for drinks tomorrow and we are also having a massive staff party on Saturday. I literally cannot wait.

In other news :-

My hair. Yes. First thing Mum said to me was "Wow. We are getting that fixed." Everyone thinks I have dyed it, except the hairdresser who has reassured me she can see it isn't dyed. Yep, already been for a hair 'consultation' since I got home. I am having my hair done on Friday as my Christmas present. All my UCSD buddies..expect a change. I think it is going to be quite a big one :S. Scared.

Teeth: Yep have already been to the dentist since I got home. Laura would be impressed, she thinks English dental hygiene is pretty poor. Well I had my teeth blasted clean and about three xrays to check that America hadn't corrupted my teeth so I am guessing America and England think exactly the same poor opinions of each others dental hygiene. Personally, I didn't have any stereotypes until Laura informed me of them.

Tea. Yes. Sweetners have been banned. (I got addicted to sweetners whilst in America). Since I have come home, Mum had a rant at me and I have not had a single one. Getting used to normal tea again. Oh my. Feels like I've never been away...
