...After setting off from the South Coast, we crossed the finishing line at France. Yes I may have fed my dinner to the fishies on more than one occasion, yes the '3 hours on, 3 hours off' shifts played havoc with my sleeping patterns, and no I can't say with all sincerity that it was an experience I'd repeat too soon, but...

I have sailed across the Channel!

And that is something you ain't never gonna take away from me!

Just under 2 hours to go before hometime, I can't concentrate on anything, let alone these invoices. If this is how I feel now then how on earth am I going to feel later when I am on my way???

Well, I'm back off holiday, tanned and relaxed (but also half a stone heavier - ahhh the perils of all inclusive)

I want tomorrow to hurry up because I'm going on a first date... meeting him under the clock at Waterloo and I just can't wait. He rang me last night and afterwards I couldn't sleep for grinning.
