Wow wow awesome. I'm so jealous of your placement in the world. You're all sad that it took you that long to drive to France, well it's a 24hr flight for me!!! Hahaha. So shhhhh!

Your travels sound amazing, I want to travel the world too, got the travel bug bad. How are you going to cope being away from your husband for a month? I don't know if I could stand being away from my boyfriend for that long. And damn the luxurious holidays of a teacher hehe!

xx congrats on 62 days, so amazing :)

Day 62! Hurray!
Yes, the allergy season here was horrendous, and it's still on, due to the weather going in all directions.
Wow! I love the travel plans you all have!
Hands down, hands down, you can do this!
Stay strong!

oh yes we are definitely lucky here in the UK - after all if we'd flown to south of france would have only taken an hour! But our hit and miss weather is the price we pay! It is also pretty cheap to travel as well- and being a teacher we get 6 weeks more holiday a year than most other workers.

I think it will be really hard being away from my hubbie for a month - we havent ever been apart that long.....we will get a practise run at it in june as he is off to the USA for 10 days to give a conference paper at a university Penn State I think? :( But I get really bored in the summer hols, as the most time he can ever get off is a week so I spend most of my holidays doing stuff in the house and garden - but I would love to do something more. Also my hubbie is 10 years older than me - and did a lot of travelling when he was young free and single, whereas I met him aged 20 and so haven't really done much other than study and work in my life. not theres anything wrong with that, but I don't want to end up really regretting not having travelled and volunteered and stuff. But it will be very hard :(

I hate long flights as well urgh :(

Wow -- 62 days is fabulous! Your travel plans sound great. It might be hard at first being away from your husband but you'll be having so much fun that it'll get easier!

I hope so - I worry that all the other volunteers will be 18 :) they have asked me to train them! Oh god.....

no pulling today - urges pretty low although did get hold of a fab kinky hair that I would have normally pulled. I didn't want to pulll it and didnt think it would feel pleasurebale but still it went throught my mind.....

Wow, mrs. kolo your trip sounds so cool! you'll probably be so busy and that will help with missing your hubby. Congrats on avoiding the temptation! Definitely not worth starting over when you're at 62 days!!

heheh have been playing with one of those lame try on hairstyes websites - fantasisng about the day I have hair!!!

Well fair enough then! So great that you're going after your dreams :) And eeeep about training 18 year olds! What are you training them for and what are you volunteering? I'm sure it'll be fine, just maintain an air of confidence and calm and all will be well.

I have spent many hours on one of those sites, taaz.com

So fun!!!!!! I've realised that I suit short hair, which is weird!

Yes that was the website and I think I suit chin length hair best (I have a round face)so if this time next year I can take myself off and have it chopped to a chin length kinda bob thing I'll be happy!!

The volunteer programme is based in a school on a poor part of the island. most volunteers are gap year students who teach english - cos I am a trained teacher they asked me to train the volunteers on teaching methods!! ick.....well I should be used to it - I teach everyday! but still, its something I haven't really done before - although I have mentored trainee teachers in the uk.

i just hope I get some work next term or i won't be able to afford to save!

I'd love to get my hair cut short, chin length or a bit shorter. (Cos then it would only be 3 lengths rather than 4). But if it was short I wouldn't be able to hide my bald patches (should I get any). Errrrr so long it stays.

The programme sounds great, and WHAT a location. Amazing. I hope you get some work next term too! That's what it's like for me, I hope I get some more design work so I have more money for Europe travels. Eep!

fingers crossed for both of us to get work. I can afford to stay off a while but not if I want to do trips and stuff...my end of contract should be finalised this week or next leaving me free to start work after the holiday - really hope something comes up!! If there is no teaching I think I will just get any old job for a while.

Regarding the hair hopefully one day you will feel confident enough that you get whatvere hairstyle you like without worrying about bald patches again. How freeing would that be? I am gonna go for the chop as soon as mine is long enough so I guess in about a year maybe less, I am hoping that not being able to cover patches will keep me incentivised to not pull. God knows, living like the way we have been should be enough to stop us pulling EVER again. Its always a worry though....

The sun is shining here today - I am working in an hour but thinking about mowing my lawn first - finish at 7 tonight so a short bit of work really....just 3 hours....

I have probably quite stupidly agreed to go visit my family this weeked - not only is it a bloody 6 hour drive, but ARGH stress.....

x

That's what I did, got any old job. Ack.

I agree that would be lovely to get any old hairstyle, whatever I want..... Wow. People without trich have no clue about how lucky they are!

Oh dear, have lots of distractions and barriers in place for when you're visiting your family, sounds like you'll really need them!!!

yep I will.....don't know wy we are bothering visiting tbh.

hairstyles - what are they? ;)

Am hoping some work turns up - there are 7 weeks between now and the summer hols turning up - will be happy if I can work about 5 of those!

Hehe I know, I was so surprised to see myself with a part!!!!! Haven't had one of those in years.

Fingers crossed some turns up for you :)

64 days down.......
