THE FINAL ENTRY... Back at home

Hey hey there,

After delaying this so much I'm not sure how many people will read this! Anyway we made it to our flight, only to find out that we were sitting next to Flawless off Britain's Got Talent - Steady was incredibly sweet and nice for the whole flight.

He even wanted to come say hi to Mum - I phoned Dad up when we were collecting our luggage to ask whether he was waiting at the barrier. He only told me they were 20 miles away stuck in traffic. Not funny. He was joking. We got the last laugh when we walked out with Steady though! Huge surprise to see Maddy (Hayley's sister) and Loz waiting for us too! So nice to see everyone again - and even managed to get a few photos with the whole of Flawless. Made the flight more entertaining anyway...

So back at home now. Finding it actually quite hard settling down - and am unpacking the house etc. and finding my way around Lichfield. It seems a horrible deja vu - reminds me of when I was around Stonar, reminds me of Northern Ireland, yet it's not actually quite right. Found it very hard around town high streets as there's so many assaults on the senses - even the quiet and cleanliness is distracting. And the amount of adverts in this country...! Attempting to have a conversation with people in phone shops was quite challenging...

But then the Stonars and KES guys came up for the weekend (and Haz's family for lunch) - only 14 of them stayed up over the weekend (slightly manic) and we had a fantastic time. So things are settling down again a little but enjoying being around Mum. Dad's away for this week so it's nice for us to have a little girly time together. But it's so strange being back in the UK. Still feeling slightly uneasy the whole time. And really must start looking for a job! Very weird being alone at night, very weird just being back in the UK. But I'm sure things will get easier and will start job hunting soon.

Anyway this is the last entry - sorry if haven't managed to be in contact with many people yet - life is very hectic. But thanks for supporting us and all the help you've given us this past year. We really appreciate it. And hopefully I'll see you all soon!

Love love,
