Are you doing that Disney work experience thing? What job are you going to be doing; like rides or reception in a hotel? I was thinking of that :smile:


I'll be working in a shop, if I can get my contract sorted out that is.

Do you get time off to go to the park? It's so cool you're doing it!
how do you guys afford these crazy trips on your gap years?!

Two days off a week, so I guess so, although I intend to go to Paris as much as possible. I think after a certain amount of time you get a discount on entry and food and in the boutiques etc.

Got this great summer bucket list to occupy my time.

Want to hear some examples?

* 144 egg omelette
* Back to back LOST marathon (because it's so good I have to watch it all a fourth time)
* Go into tesco and break all the baby food so the babies will have no food
* Eat 7000 kitkats in a day
* Set up my living room in my garden

You know, that sort of thing.


LOL! THAT IS SOME BUCKETLIST!
Tell me if you actually manage to complete the "Eat 7000 kitkats in a day" :biggrin: hahaah

We were going to go to Barbados and St Lucia, however my Grandad dies in November and my gran says there are spooky things going on, so instead I am travelling to another part of the Uk.
I said to my mum I really need to get some sun or I will shrivel up!:colone:


Aawww,
Which part of the UK?

Who remembers seeing that very well dressed guy in all white, with a brown jacket and shoes?

I'm going to Costa Brava for two weeks with my parents.
Then, I'm going to London for two days with my best friend. That means...SHOPPING FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT!!! (In case it wasn't obvious, I can't wait :smile: :smile: )
Then, I'm taking my Gran to Wales (the village where she was born) as a surprise.

Bit I'm dreading - Results Day :frown:

But I'm going to do some work experience in a solicitor's office (I want to study Law at university, so I hope some work experience and that will help me stand out when applying) and I'm also looking forward to doing some volunteer work at a dog's shelter just up the road from me (I love animals and so I'm so looking forward to walking the dogs and stuff like that a few days a week).

Other than that (the main stuff), I'll see my friends and go shopping and to the cinema and stuff like that :smile:
15th Prestige MW3 here i come :colone:
