I miss.....

Having been talking recently about things I'm going to do when I get home I got round to thinking about all the stupid little things I miss from home and all the things I will miss when I leave here! So here goes....

Things I miss from home (obviously big things like my friends and family!)
1) nail varnish... Not allowed to wear nail varnish because of food prep
2) being able to wear my hair down... Same reasons as above!
3) nandos and KFC... And all the other food things you can't get out here like cadburys chocolate, chocolate digestives, good salt and vinegar crisps, branston pickle (this list cod go on for ever!)
4) being able to watch rubbish on tv!
5) decent Internet.... And being able to use Internet on my phone where ever I want!
6) all the music that got wiped off my phone when it went mental during the ios5 update
7) my double bed, duvet and my mattress!
8) the rest of my clothes
9) two days off a week!
10) the Cumbrian weather (haha!)
11) magazines! Well being able to buy heat for the right price, not double like it is in resort.... To be fair I'm impressed they sell it here!


It does seem like a lot but none of it really bothers me unless I think of it all together!

And it's all small in comparison to how much I'm going to miss my friends here, skiing when I want (when it's not French half term anyway!), sunshine and clear clue skies, the snow and walking to work looking at the amazing mountains around me! Don't get me wrong I have definitely loved being here and have made the right decision about coming home but there are definitely things I won't miss....
Mainly cleaning toilets and baths after a particularly unpleasant incident this week, which I won't mention in case anyone is eating :-)
I just need a different job for next season, running a chalet on my own has been so much more tiring and stressful than I thought after last season and I'm not sure I could do it again, especially not on my own! I have however decided that I would make a fantastic rep so am going to spend the summer convincing a TO that they want to give me a job! I'm sure I can manage that! Just as long as I don't have to guide....

I've not skied a lot, again, partly down to work, partly down to how many people are in resort (far far too busy today!) and partly down to just being knackered! Think all the French holidays finish this week so hopefully la plagne will go back to being nice an quiet ad I can ski around in peace, without having to avoid people and being wiped out by stupid people (three times in an hour today! Was not impressed!)

I still have two and a half weeks left here so I'm hoping I can get out most days! Actually considering its amazing weather here at the minute I'm not entirely sure how I'll feel back in the middle of northern "spring" hoping for a nice April and may!

Anyway I'd better go to sleep ready for work tomorrow, worst thing about Wednesdays is the night.... Longest time in the week until next day off!
