Or something to that effect. I've been here a week! But it feels like months already!! Crazy! I started writing this yesterday... This morning I had to pack up my room (again!) and moved into Jules' room as we are getting new roommates (last night). Its lovely and sunny here and I've finally got my Chatham resident card i.e. the all powerful bus pass! Rather than a stupid bit of wet scraggy paper. Took me ages as the Clubhouse is a bit rubbish and open at useless times. And also the card machine broke. But oh well sorted now! So much has happened in the last 8 days. I've eaten loads and spent too much, but had the BEST time and met loads of awesome people, and crossed off a few things on my bucket list already.
I've eaten SO MUCH rubbish considering it's only been a week. 3 lots of nachos....2 or 3 pizzas, burgers.. you get the idea. Unhealthy US food. There was an aisle at Walmart that said on one side "Entrees" on the other, "healthy Entrees". and nearly every ready meal is in a box. I think theres only 3 food groups, burgers fries and pizza! and of course Coca Cola.
I don't know where to start really, so I'll talk about the last few days first and then fill in the gaps. I'm meant to be going to Epcot with the boys and Katy today woo!!
So..Epcot, Monday. After I moved rooms, Katy came round and we got the bus to Epcot, and met the boys. We went straight to new Test Track and though it was 11, the queue was already 2 hours. Got FP's but they werent til 8pm which was when we were having dinner with the girls, so the four of us did single rider and it took about 30 mins but Katy and I got to sit together anyway :) We didnt get to design a car though! Tbh I prefer the old test track as the new one is all 'Tron' and isn't as well explained as it used to be but it was still fun.
Katy was cheeky and got pics of our ride:
Then we grabbed quick service (QS) lunch at Mexico...nachos... not very nice really. Soarin' had super long queues too so we headed out and on the way looked for someone to give our fast passes to. We gave them to the CM (cast member) heading the queue at TT and she let Katy and I on through the fast pass queue (woop!) so we got on again in 10 mins and designed our funky car...
and as it was so humid we headed for Splash Mountain only to find a 2 hour queue. We also got "celebrating " badges (pic to follow!).
So after a cheeky word with a cm...we got FP (fastpass) and walked straight on! Perfect timing as as soon as we got off a storm hit! LOVE splash mountain though!
It was too wet to go anywhere so Katy and I headed off to get sexy work shoes (pic to follow) from

Costuming, and then popped to Cast Connections, a cast member shop. On the walk over we saw some crazy lightning!! It sells stuff that isnt sold in the parks anymore like 2012 stuff for cheap, and a second building sells actual stuff from the parks like there were old plates etc and a huge painting that was up at Epcot italy, and a 52" tele, and a giant oscar statue! Then the last building sold broken stuff. I didn't but anything but Katy got an autograph book for $3!
We got the bus home and headed out to Bahama Breeze (finally! very excited!) and it was even nicer than I thought it'd be, just my kind of food. Lovely atmosphere too, a live singer on steel drums, he sang stuff like Shaggy, Angel etc and there was a fire too! (although it was a bit hot next to it). I got a lush pineapple-coconut martini to drink:
and then coconut shrimp with brocolli, pic to follow... (Matt you'd approve), and swapped the rice from pinepple and grape fruit salad with sorbet, YUM! So I got pineapple and coconut in my drink and meal! Mum I think you'd like it there too! Mine came to $25, not bad.
Jen, Jules and I then watched TOWIE in our duvets and awaited the new roommates but they never came.
Tuesday
So this is my second day off. Jen has work so Jules and I met our roommates this morning and then hit the pool (lots of suncream Mum!) and now its 1pm and I am at the clubhouse typing this and eating a free cookie that the clubhouse always has
