Baby sick

Even tho I've got a bit of a cough I went to Fernhurst today, to help Natacha with the baking.

I can't recommend baking when it's 30 degrees warm outside. When Natacha was gonna show me something I held Charlie, the 2 weeks old baby. The first thing is does is to throw up on me.. sweet baby sick!  He was the tiniest, cutest baby ever.

I wonder where this lovely weather came from, it's been shit the whole "summer". It was warm in april/may and this week it has been between 22-30 degrees,  and the weekend is no exception.

I think I'm popping down to the pub a bit later, need to get out of the house!!

Bye xx

Coughing

Hello!

I'm feeling really poorly at the moment. Slept 2 hours last night because I started coughing, and thats basically what I've done since...

It's perfect timing as always..

Tallulah was a real pain this morning. I Woke up before my alarm went off from Talulah shouting "dickhead" to Freddie. It went downhill from there. She got really cross with me when I told her not to cut a bagel on the stool, and she started hyperventilating and said I was the worst au pair ever+ I could go back to Sweden.

I'm off soon to babysit Emilia, worlds sweetest 1.5 years old baby.

Bye, xx 

Tillbaka på ruta 1

Nu känner jag mig lite lagom blödig och ensam igen. Nu har Tom åkt iväg på turné och jag är hemma själv. Om jag måste se något positivt i det hela så är det väl att jag sparar pengar istället för att gå till puben varje dag.

22 dagar kvar tills Jeannie kommer också. Jag kunde nog inte ha längtat mer. Frågan är om jag längtar mest efter kaviarn hon tar med sig ;)

Nej, nu får jag ta tag i sakerna som skall göras här hemma.
Jag ska åka till återvinningsstationen  med all cardboard, dammsuga, hänga tvätt och sen måste jag tanka bilen inför ikväll när jag skall skjutsa på barnen.
Mental note; måste fråga Sara om bensin pengar!!!!

Jaman.... då var det väl allt för den här gången.

Puss

BOOM THING!

Just got my feedback on Warm-up task 1 and i got 4/5 points Which is a MVG or an A. Im well happy!!
Now it's just to keep it up and continue doing well. I'm extra happy because the course is in English, not my mother-tongue!

YEEEEE BLUD, Let's celebrate it and go to the pub! :D

LOADS OF LOVE,
Jo xxxx

Miss sleepyhead!

I have slept the whole day today. Literally. Woke up when I had to wake the kids up and get them ready for school and then I went straight to bed. Woke up for a quick skypedate with Lisa and a phone date with Sophia.

The kids are at home now and I'm trying to tidy up but it seems to be mission impossible because the minute I put something away, something new is on the floor.

I really want to get a tattoo on my foot. Just a small one you can hide with shoes or socks. I'm thinking a lyric or 3 small birds flying away. Haven't decided yet and I'm still waiting for mums approval (she'll probably make me disinherited or give me permission to get a heart in which it says "mum" or something)

Oh, well. I'm babysitting tonight, tomorrow during the day, maybe tomorrow night and thursday during the night.Weehey, at least it's some extra gash!

Bye xxx

p.s. I think I'm getting the cold again... :s

What a night that was

Ok so....I saw I updated my blog last night. Rule no.1. NEVER update blogs, send texts, make phone calls or use facebook when consuming alcohol.

Ed, Sophia and I shared a bed. I woke up and realized Sophia was gone. The first thing that hit me was; OMG I'm alone in the same bed as my best friends BF. This is so wrong!
Thank god we all are such good friends!

I'm not gonna lie, had a bit too much to drink last night and the neighbours came to the gate and complained about us being too noisy= success!

Everything is tidy, and there is no evidence what so ever that it was party here last night.
I'm about to eat some more crumpets, drink coke and watch some online TV.

Tom is also back in town today. We are having a standard pub sesh tonight. Alcohol consumption this weekend- Massive intake, but you only live once.

 I was gonna find the "gröt ris" for Kajsa        Photo; Kajsa.

Bye! xx

Not in the right mind state

Basically, I just got to bed. I'm donnot looking forward to wake wake up tOmorrow. The head ache Is gonna be a fact!








You are so not worth it. Yes you are. No your not. Yes you are. Fuck!!
I can't do this to myself. it's just not worth it. It's just not worth ut!
" Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times.

I just died in your arms tonight, it must have been some kind of kiss, i should've walked away"

YEEEEE BLUD!

Sara's out sailing this weekend and David took the kids to London soooo.. I'm home alone.
Talked to Sara yesterday;
me; Uhhmmm is it alright if i have a lil' gathering here AKA A MASSIVE FOKIN HOUSEPARTY on saturday?
Sara; YE sure, but if anyone sleeps in my bed just make sure to change the cheats.

 And this morning I found a little note on the kitchen counter;
 " Take it easy tonight and be safe!;)"

I seriously don't know any other host mums who let their au pairs have house parties. I love her!

 So tonight we go all in. au pair style; TEQUILA 'COS BEER ISN'T FAST ENOUGH!!"

Bye xxx

After 5months....

I've waited 5 months for a new bed. The one i have now is Tallulahs old one, too short and too narrow. My double bed I had when we lived in Grayswood didn't fit in my new room...
The delivery men came with the bed around 10.. and it was bloody perfect timing as usual. Just got out of the shower.

It feels so weird not going to the pub everyday. Yesterday I was babysitting and today I'm just gonna stay at home because my pub friend is away on tour. he is working at some music festival.

I'm also obsessed with Charlie Simpsons "I just died in your arms". I'm so buying his next album if he put this song on it!

Kom hit till mig nu!

Ironing

Babysat for a family with a 1.5 years old baby. She is the cutest baby ever. Makes me wanna have a baby . No that will have to wait many years. I think being an au pair is the best contraception ever and the best bit is that when you get tired of them you can always give them back to their parents haha

Totally lost it now, I was gonna write about when I was babysitting earlier. I put Emilia to bed and then started ironing. Some families just go bonkers with what to iron. Who irons baby sunhats, knicker to put over nappies, and socks?!?!?!

Ironing clothes is... well a waste of time if you ask me!

I said goodbye to Laura earlier. Can't believe that she is leaving me again. All my love to her.

Now I'm off to cook some fishfingers (which is by far the best food ever) for the kids.

 Ta mig tillbaka till sommaren som var <3
Bye xx

Dull...

I think this blog has gotten very dull and boring... No pictures, nothing. Just loads of uninteresting shit!
So how about going out tonight and get shitfaced?! Sounds like a plan to me!!

xxx

Laura

I've spent this day with Laura. She is back from Germany, visiting her Bf and friends. It's really nice hanging out with her, I've missed her so much. Don't think I realized how much though until she came back!!

Now Im off to help Freddie with his homework.

xxx

Utan dig är jag en spillra på ett mörk och stormigt hav...

Att ha en person vid sin sida som betyder så mycket. Jag tror inte att du förstår hur mycket du betyder för mig. Att du finns där för att lyssna till mina problem och allt annat strunt.
Det är synd att det är först de senaste månaderna som vi riktigt har funnit varandra. Du är som ett äldre syskon som jag ser upp till.
Du är underbar!

xxx

Who are you?

Just checked my reading statistics. I've got readers in Russia, Sweden,Finland,Germany, Ireland and USA.
I know who a few of you are but it would be fun to know who's reading all the nonsense I'm writing here.
Can't you please drop a comment or something?!

Night night xx

Hair

Basically, my hair is redder but the light is not very good!

Finally

I finally wrote my uni task, and thanks to Leo, Sophia and Sara, it turned out great!
I've also tidied my room + car, so now I'm going to treat myself  by watching an episode of superstars!

I am also very sorry for not uploading a picture of my hair. Will do ASAP!
xxx

Uni? No, Facebook!

Doesn't matter how hard I try, I always end up on Facebook instead of doing my uni tasks. I seriously consider deleting my Fb account if that can help me to get started. Another thing is that it isn't quiet in this house. I need it to be quiet and I need somewhere to sit. At the moment my bed is my..well bed but also, dinner table, wardrobe, Tv sofa etc etc.

Ok I seriously have to start now...!

love Jo xx

Red head

I've now got red hair, like red red. Sort of Rihanna red!

Freddie though I couldn't hear him and then he whispered to Tallulah;
"Jo's got well sexy hair"

So basically Sophia and I are getting ready for pub so don't really have time to sit here and write posts.

BYYYE xxx

I'm hurting!!!!

Just had a shower after my morning run. I fell in the shower.  I think my bad knee is even worse now, my shoulder is probably dislocated (well it feels like it) and my bum is well sore.

I'm going to guildford soon to meet up with Sophia. looking forward! But until then I'm on a cleaning and tidying up misson!

XXX

Getting fit!

Just got back from a run. Only ran for 40mins, but it was a good, sweaty, warm and fat burning run!

Of course Tom would text and ask if i wanted to come to pizza express tonight.. how could i possibly say no to that?
I guess I'll have a salad or something less fatty then a pizza.
So when sara gets back from her run, I'll go out.

Also getting started with my uni tasks. I look at them and think ;"wow, this isn't too hard" but I never manage to get my ass out of bed and get started until now. If i do it properly and intense it'll only take around 40 mins per task. Tomorrow  and the weekend I'm planning on doing loads!!

byesy bye!! xx

In a weak moment...

Sometimes I am very impulsive. My impulsive side is my weak side.

A couple of weeks ago i was chatting to Jilly, one thing lead to another and all of a sudden I had said YES, to do Hell runner with her, which is a half marathon. You have to run through ditches, up and down steep hills etc.etc.
I hoped she would of forgotten about it, but of course not. So I got another text today saying ; "when shall we enter".
We're doing it on saturday, the race isn't until 22nd of november though.

I'm going to tell you all a little about Jilly.
She is a personal trainer. Fit as... she can run for ages and lift the heaviest of weights ( compared to me whos cardio doesn't exist and can't lift heavy weights. This is the babe I'm going running with, Oh my :P).  Jilly is fun and it's always a laugh hanging out with her. We are the ultimate bitches when we're together, no one gets away with anything haha
We haven't seen each other for quite awhile now, so we have some gossiping and catching up to do.

I must admit I'm a little bit excited about doing the run though, a challenge. I know i can run 21 km, but I need this little extra push to do it. That's why hell runner is good, it gives me something to aim for!

This is what we will be doing in November!


Byye xx

Autumn sun

Sitting outside on the patio, playing with Ralph and enjoying the autumn sun. Yes, it's the beginning of autumn here in Haslemere now.

I should get started with my uni task, but I much rather prefer being outside in the sun. I will do it this weekend though. If I don't I will have to punch myself.

Sophia is coming down tomorrow around lunch so I will meet up with her in Guildford, have lunch and colour my hair, then I'm off to the cupcakery with Tessa. We don't have cupcakerys in Sweden, it's a shame because if you haven't tried it, you haven't lived yet.

37 days left until Jeannie is coming. Oh yes, I've already started the countdown!!

Tonight I'll probably go out for a standard pub session with Tom and someone else since I was dull and decided to stay in last night, which was very needed indeed.

Babysitting

Just got back from babysitting a 1 year old baby. She was asleep all the time so I was cleaning whilst her mum was out running.

Im just about to go and pick Lulu up from school, and then start cleaning here. There's loads of stuff to do. Hoover, cook,dust, hang out washing etc.etc.

Bye for now xxx

Moan moan moan

Just got my first uni task...
Basically im going to write a proffessional presentation of myself , to be posted on a companys website. IM going to be their new marketing manager/business developer.

I sent an email to my tutor and got this in reply;
Dear Josefin,

How am I to know what's truth and what's fiction?!

If you want to include your stint with the British Secret Service as a female 007 agent, that's OK by me!

Yours,

David Richardson

We are using studying material from Cambridge university and it looks like greek to me. the words, WOW they are so formal you wouldnt think they're english. My vocabulary is gonna go through a massive transformation, thats for sure.

And for the coming 6months I guess my best friends will be; Instant coffee and google translate.

Photos from yesterday

Alice in Wonderland

just got back home from an amazing weekend in Kent, celebrating Sophias 21st.

Uploading photos now and I will upload a few of them here in a bit! xxx

Awkward turtle!

Last night... what is there to say?
What started off as a good evening turned into a very awkward evening. Because GEORGE ( HOPE U READING THIS!!!!) can't shut up.

Anyways... picking up Lisa at twelve, then off to Grayshott to pick up Tessas cakestands and croquet set and then folks, we are heading towards Sevenoaks and Sophia WEYEHY.


I'm bringing the camera so gonna have loads of photos when i get back from my mini weekend in Kent

xxxx

Au pair Rule-book!

#1. It doesnt have to be clean as long as it looks clean!




That's all for now!

Temple of winds

Im having my lunch now, quite early I know.
Lisa is coming here soonish and we are gonna take the dogs up to Black down for a nice little walk to Temple of winds. It is amazing up there, the nature and lets not forget the smashing wiew!!
Most beautiful place on earth (except Gotland)

Last night I also told Sara Im leaving. She asked me if I wanna spend christmas here with them and I think I will. This is my last chance to spend christmas somewhere else with a family for a long time and I will have loads of swedish Christmases ahead of me.

Tonight after I finished work Lisa and I are gonna go out for a chinese.. or maybe I can persuade her to go to Pizza express insted, Im desperate fora Pizza!

catch ya laters ! xx

when it couldnt get any worse

i thought the day couldnt get any worse... i just broke 3 nails whilst hoovering. sweet!!! -.-

A little something

Something that cheered me up a little bit was when i picked the kids up from school and I stopped for a little chat with Lucas mum. she said it's not common with English au pairs in the UK. First I had no idea what she meant but then when she asked me where in England I  was from I realized that she though I was English.
I explained to her I wasn't, that I'm Swedish. She thought I was from London somewhere according to my accent.
It only means my English has improved a lot even though I still can hear a slightly swedish tone when I'm speaking. That little comment made me a bit happier!!


The fake Londoner,
xx

I admit I cocked up!

Im feeling like such a twat at the moment. This day turned out to be the worst one in ages. I woke up 5 to 9.. the kids start school at 9. Last night I put 3 alarms on to make sure I would woke up in time, I must have slept through them..
Sara called and had a go at me because the school had called. Apparently it's not ok to let the kids walk to school alone. We live literally across the road + it was more than ok for them to walk there alone yesterday.
It's hard to know when people changes their minds from day to day.

I then went to the asthma clinic. Last time I was there I had 350 on the lung capacity test, today I had 600 which is really good, an improvement!

last but not least, im sure Sara and I will have a chat tonight, so Im going to say I'm leaving around christmas. I have to and it's not that Im leaving because I want to,or well I kinda want to a little bit. Feels like Im done with the au pairing. But I also have a really good reason to leave and two operations is quite a good reason I think.

Oh well, gotta go and pick the kids up from school.

Latersss xx

Because I'm sexy and I know that you know that I am!

Freddie cracks me up. I just can't  take all his little comments seriously.
Today for example, before they went to school he was posing in front of the mirror and he saw out of the corner of his eye that I laughed whilst watching him.
He then turned around and said; "I'm looking well sexy today." then he flicked his hair and walked off.
That totally cracked me up.

When he came home from school he got changed into his football clothes.
I couldn't help it but laugh when he walked like he owned the town.  I then said "looking good Freddo"
He replied; " Yeah i know Jo.... DAAA"

Cheeky little toad!

To change subject completely;
I gonna go for  a power nap now so im fit for fight when we are doing the mini pub crawl in Godalming later on tonight..

The cool kid!


Bye! xx

I stopped believing in god when I realized it is "dog" backwards.

Mornin'!

Just sent the kids off to school,  so I'm going to have a nice cup of coffee and a long bath. Lush.

Yesterday after I finished work I drove down to Guildford, met up with Josh and Inka and we went to see The inbetweeners movie. It was amazing, so good. It was a very long time since I laughed as much during a film.
 So if there's anyone who haven't seen the film, just do it!

My Lisa biiiiatch is back in town today. Gonna go and pick her up from the train station in a few hours, I'm well excited.

Another thing that hit me yesterday was how many people reading my blog. Which is a bit scary, especially considering I've had this blog only for a week. It's been between 70-89 people reading the last 4 days and I have indeed no idea who you are.

JoXX

Wazzap Gangstah!?

I was laying on the floor playing the mooshi monster game with Tallulah. She suddenly asks; Josefin, do u have the hard bit of  your ear (treagus) pierced?

I answered; Because I wanna look like a gangster haha
T; Really?
Me; No, not really, I just think it's nice.
T; yeah because if you wanted to look like a proper gangster, you would have to cut your hair short, colour it black and pink, pierce your nose, eye brown and belly button And change your name to " Starfish". Then you would be like a proper gangster!!

I have no idea where this kid gets everything from. But it's giving me something to laugh about. That's for sure!!


The roof in our conservatory is leaking in everywhere, our hallway is flooded, smashing!!

Angel, not emo!

Choices

I didn't know it was possible to miss someone you barely know so much it physically hurts. On the other hand i didn't know you could miss anyone so much that it'd hurt.

Jxx

Singin in the rain

It's pissing down with rain and I'm about to go out for a 5miles run.

Byesy Bye!! xx

Wake up in the morning feelin' like P-Diddy!

Good morning folks!

I've just sent Freddie to school. My little monkey is still ill but luckily her dad is here now to look after her for  a little while.

David and I started chatting and he asked me what I had been up to in Sweden, but he had this look upon his face telling me he was up to something. So I started answering his questions and everything I said he turned into something dirty. Alright  David is an Arsenal supporter,GAME ON!

Me;  Oh did u see that match when Man utd raped Arsenal, 8-2?
D; Oh shut up don't start now!!!
Me; You should really change team....
D; You'll see, one day Arsenal is gonna beat Mutd!!
Me; Yeah, maybe. But I'll probably not be alive by then, so it doesn't count.
D; Oh, how cheeky!!!

It kinda went on like that, back and forth for about 20minutes.

Before I leave England I have to see a proper English football match. I'm thinking Mutd- Chelsea, or something like that.

Oh well, I'm gonna finish off my instant coffee now, and start "au pairing" again.

                                        

 Bye,
Jo xx

A long day has now come to an end.

This has been one of the longest days of my life.
Fell asleep around 2 last night because Tallulah was being sick and then up at 6.30 this morning.
Looked after Tallulah who's been sick at least once every hour. Washed several machines of bedding and clothes. Tidied the whole house (excluding my room which already was very tidy, surprise surprise) sorted Freddies wardrobe out, binned loads of old shoes and then finally started cooking.

Now I'm in my bed listening to 3OH!3. Might have a little power nap before going to the pub for some "after work" (which I do almost every day.)
Don't get me wrong. We go out to the pub to be social and meet people, not to get shitfaced. We do that on fridays haha

P.S isn't "urbandictionnary" the best invention ever??

I've got a really bad sense of humor, this made me laugh!

Love, a tired Jo xx

For you and you only.

                                          You are part of my mission and I'm part of yours.

"Jo, I have a really good question for you!"

When I hear that phrase I get a bit scared. Especially when it comes from Tallulah. It is sometimes very awkward answering her questions.
It's not questions a 7year old girl normally would ask, like " Does Santa really exist?" or " Can we do some painting?" No, Lulu she asks questions like " What's a tosser?" or " Jo, please tell me what the C-word is!!?"

Today is was; " Jo, I have a really good question for you!!"
Me; (nervously) Alright,shoot!
T; Whats a vibrator?

I knew it, this was gonna be awkward to answer. Where does she get everything from?!!
 anyhow, I answered;  That's a very good question, but ask your mum when she gets home!! (that is by the way my standard answers for T's questions.

Clearly she is not that ill anymore.

XX

My little poppet.

My little poppet is ill. She's been throwing up the whole night + morning and her tummy is really bad.
My first real workday and I've already changed and washed 3 sets of bedding. I feel so sorry for her!

The first thing she said to me though after calling out my name when she had been sick was " JO, why on earth aren't u wearing a bra!?!?" (i was wearing a dressing gown + a vest)
To which I said; Because it's 6.30 in the morning and I just got out of bed.
This is standard,this is Tallulah, wonderfully spontaneous and says everything she is thinking out loud.

Freddie got back from Spain last night. He's been there for two weeks with a friend and he was well tanned. Jealousy is a fact!
How I've missed him.

I didnt think it was possible to love kids this much when they aren't your own and now when one of them is ill it's killing me from the inside.

I'm now outside in the garden. Needed some fresh air. Trying to enjoy the morning coffee but it's hard.. it's the standard typical English instant coffee. Should be against the law to call it coffee because it's not. Its basically mud you mix with water!!

To change subject totally; I'm on a mission. A well good one! Some people aren't gonna like it but i couldn't care less. I am after all "the biggest two faced slut/bitch ever who also is frigid and scared of human physical contact"

                                                        "My" lovely children 2010 <3

                           We found an old tractor on the field when we were out walking one day. 2010

                        Lulu found some blackberries. 2010



Guess that was all for now!

Back at last

Just got back home after an amazing weekend in kent.
The traffic was horrible on my way back. The m25 from junction5-13 was all clogged up, took nearly 2 hours, normally it takes 40 mins to Guildford.

On my way back I stopped by at Inka and Josh's flat. It is so pretty, light and airy.

There was something I was about to tell  but of course I totally forgot about that now... epic fail!

Asked Tom whats gwaning and he told me to do one, nice.
So pub it is.

Sophia and I In Brighton 2011 

BYYYYEEEE ( an over enthusiastic typical english bye!!) XXXX

Kent, not the band, the county!

Im in Kent at the moment. Visiting Sophia. We've been running around sorting things out for her party, it's gonna be the happening of the year.. almost. The Britney concert might be bigger. Might!!

We are babysitting 3 kids now, or well we are watching tv and the kids are entertaining themselfs in the playroom. Standard Babysitting sesh, not gonna lie!

Oh yeah, almost forgot to tell: I HD MY FIRST KFC TODAY, and it was proper amazing. Popcorn chicken in my <3

Back in the mere tomorrow.

Laters xx

Spoons

Komprecis hem från puben. Det var bra överlag, blev lite irriterad på slutet över småsaker. Ingen aning om vad som hände bara tände till.

As if I'll Fb you to be your bootycall... right. Prick!

Tomorrow I'm going down to Kent and staying at Sophias, sat-sun, looking forward a lot!!!  Gonna prepare stuff for the big happening next saturday.

Update more tomorrowwhen I've calmed down!

night night xxx

You can have one without the other!

Just had a pot noodle, oh how I love them. Had it without the standard "side dish"  though, haha.

Gonna jump into the shower now and get ready for the pub. Meeting up with Inka and Josh around 7ish, looking forward a lot.

The only problem is what to wear tonight. It's well warm outside now the question is how warm it'll be tonight.... probs going for jeans and a blouse, or leggins and dress.

Better get started then!!

Au pair style

once again I'm home alone with Bertie and Ralph, the cutest doggies in the world. Ralph a labradoodle is according to Lulu homosexual. (she's just learnt that word) cos he is humping male dogs. Bertie is Nanny J's dog, she is the longest sausage dog ever, just measured him 103cm nose to tail. I've snuggled up in bed with them and an episode of Swedish survivers.

I've just done my nails, french manicure and been sunbathing. The english weather is spoiling me!

Unpacking secrets.

I've just had breakfast and are just about to start unpacking my suitcases. Basically i couldn't be bothered to do it yesterday.

Had a chat with my Host mother earlier. Some people might think she is crazy, I mean i can understand those who think so but to me she is perfect! She is the loveliest person ever. Full of histories and gossip and you who knows me know I love gossip, not so much gossiping but knowing things. Yes, I like to know things.
I'll tell u a little about Sara another time.

I'm getting really nervous now. My first uni course starts in 11 days. Well excited but I'm nervous. It's all in English so I hope I will cope alright.

Yeah speaking of host mother, she told me earlier we're all going to clean the car cos she decided this morning to trade the big 4x4 in and get a mini cooper...   If I would sum her up with one sentence I guess that would be it.

My lovely H.M xmas 2010.

Bye for now xx

Filth is the only way

Just got back from 5 hours in the pub.  It was just what I needed, all the banter and seeing the peeps again.

Tomorrow I'm on it again. Spoons watch out!

Night night folks xx

Back to normal

I should really stop using the blog as a way of comfort, but hopefully this will prevent me from spamming my friends with facebook status updates, at least for a while...

I got an email earlier made me very happy!
I also went down town to meet up with Jenny for a coffee, just what I needed, feeling much better already. Now im gonna continue reading my book i bought yesterday, it's amazing. It's called "the woman he loved before"- a romantic crime book, just about to find out who the killer is.

Bye for now, xx

Life's sorted

It's not easy being a foreigner in a foreign country. I also shouldn't read letters from the bank in the middle of the night either.
My bank account wasn't overdrawn. It just said that I (thank god) haven't activated the overdrawing service but if they would of taken the phone bill from my account I would of been £39 overdrawn.  So the bank is sorted.
i then called vodafone support and ended up at some callcentre up north, probably Glasgow or Edinburgh, their accent gives it all away!
Payed my bill and now my phone is working and im not overdrawn. Next phone payment is due in 12 of september, but that's alright because I'll get paid on the 9th.

EVERYTHING'S SORTED! :D

I also ran into Craig earlier, in panic mode on my way to the bank. He said he wasn't sure whether he'll come to the pub or not tonight. I will guilt trip him if he don't!!

p.s mental note for myself. don't make any decisions what so ever if u do not know the whole story or reasons behind and especially not the week before!

Love a happy  Jo xxxxx

Lion Lane 52

Back in England, back on Lion lane, back to the english Josefin.
It's first now I''ve realized how much I've missed Sara and the kids but also that this is not where I belong.

I cried last night, cried because i didn't know how to tell Sara I want to leave around christmas preferably before. I cried when I felt the feeling of hopelessness when i read the letters sent from the bank saying my account is overdrawn and the letter from vodafone saying they've turned my phone off because I haven't payed the bill.
I left money on me account before i went to Sweden so they could withdraw money for the bill. Have no clue what to do now except feeling sorry for myself.

For the first time in over a year abroad I do feel homesick. I've been sighing when other people's been telling me they're feeling homesick and tried to explain to me what it was like. How could I possibly know before i even experienced it myself?!

I also feel lonely. I've been in england 15 hours and 24 minutes now. It's pathetic.

If  I was someone else I would punch me in the face!!

Maybe I should go for a shower now. Shower off the Swedishness  and turn into the English Josefin properly again and then go to the bank and sort things out. Stop feeling sorry for myself and stop writing about it here to present myself as even more pathetic than I actually am.

Tonight I'm going to the pub though. Tom said we'll go after he finished work. Looking forward a lot. to get out of the house and see my friends.

I'm off now. Gonna sort my life out!

 The Swedish Josie, who seemed to have an alomost perfect life compared to the now crying and pathetic English Josie.

This is why home always will be home. <3

Love, (the english) Josie xx
