18th January

Today is a special day..it's my Dad's birthday HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD, wish i was there to spend it with him.

This week has been slow, but exciting, 1 girl left to go to her ship this morning. 2 others from fitnss got thier details , one is leaving on Saturday, it starts to fel real when people around you are leaving, it just makes you wonder 'when is it my turn?'

The family that we are staying with are really fantastic, our washing gets done, food is dished up for us each evening..so much better than the YMCA, the only thing i miss from there is having all those people around all the time, always someone to talk to.

Last night we went to a pub called Revolution, really nice, the pubs here in Watford are all over the place but each and every one of them is different, my favorite so far is a little place called O'Niells, little Irish pub, all Irish finishes, Irish food and Irish music, fantastic!

Weather is getting worse, can't remember what the sun looks like. it rains through parts of the day- usually when need to walk to or from training! I can't wait to go off and feel the warm sun of the Carrabean!!!

We are training Indoor cycling today, my favorite and it feels so good to be back on a bike! I miss my cycling and i promise to train more when i get home. After Sun our bootcamp is complete and we have learned everything they can teach us before we go to our ships. Hopefully I am gone by then, our one roommate, is a massage thearapist and has been here 6weeks. i'll die if that had to happen to me, I want to go now see what this whole experience is!
