Hello my dear,
I hope you're well, I'm so glad you blogged. did it make you feel better? I feel good every time I write my random thoughts, you know that and it seems I'm picking up quite an audience with it. people I know, and people I don't in places I've never thought would be browsing blogger!
No Tashie, you do not need protecting, you are a super warrior princess and could kick anyones ass. that I garuntee, however, just because you can, doesn't mean you should have to. if anyone is protective over you it is because you are protective over us, you are wonderful and caring and although you don't take much crap, I know that the kind of crap people throw your way still hurts you.
I don't think tear ducts hold water, it's a bit like a water pistol, I think there's a tank somewhere behind your eyes and your tear ducts just make them come out drop shape instead of a steady stream of salty hurt. Remember I managed to convince a certain person that I had none? well, that was funny, and I nearly kept it up for the whole 3 years. Don't get me wrong, I did feel like crying I just, didnt I guess. Maybe that means I wasn't fully open with him? I dunno. I don't think I've seen you cry more than twice. Maybe you should do it more often, then it wont last for so long? I've heard that if men..... relieve themselves more often theres less build up of.... that, maybe it's the same. (sorry mum)
Dont worry if you think your blog doesn't make much sense, it's just how our conversations are. I miss them. I cant wait until we have our next, post night out lunch full of, ohhh noooo, really?!'s and noooooooo!'s
You should my dear, get away, not run away but come join me and create a new part of you, that's what I want. I've have 6 years of a safe secure and brilliant job, 4 years of a man I loved and 7 years of a town I don't. like I said on your face book, we'll come back tanned, interesting and mysterious women, it will be fab. but remember, I am not telling you what to do, because like I said before you are a tough, brave warrior, I am however encouraging you to do what you have been talking about doing for ages. And I'd love for you to join my adventure and make it our adventure!
mucho loves x

I feel sunny but tired.
Hello :-)
So things are better since we last spoke. well they are and they aren't but I shan't go into all of it. I feel brighter for my day off and I feel like things with the rest of the team are better.
BOYS ARE BAD
definately. BFFL Mousey got shit on this week, not like the last time (i.e. by a bird) but by a complete idiot that doesn't know a good thing when it slaps him in the face. and he had the frikkin cheek to say that she was fat. What is it with people!? if you dont want to be with someone or you dont like them, theres no need to be a shit and make it worse than it already is. Honestly. the man in question should be majorly ashamed of himself. My tashie is much much better than him. a hundred million times. so there.
Went back to the ferry man taverna last night. YUM! it was beautiful. They have this smoked aubergine dip thing which is BEAUTIFUL! and next time apparently there will be some nice men for us to socialise with. honestly! it makes us sound desperate! then the owner was trying to get Alex the chef to take Jenna out for champagne. hehehe.
So it seems I shall be venturing into malia soon with Alisha from Diosce cove. That is going to be one crazy night, I cant understand half of what she speaks (she knows this as I have to ask her to repeat herself every time she talks) and then I like to get a bit rowdy. ah it's gonna be great.
I went down to Aquarius the other evening after work to write this, now Aquarius is like a 45 min walk in the heat and surprise surprise, the internet was down, bloody sods law eh?
I'm still living with Jenna and Ricky, it's great, I get coffee in the morning, we cook together and Jenna and I made great little house wives the other day, sweeping, mopping, doing the laundry and cooking dinner and making beds, it was like something out of little women. I even tried to make apple sauce to go with their pork chops. it was more like apple syrup though and I had it for dessert with yoghurt and biscuits like a crumble. yum :-)
Anyway I have to go and find out whats for lunch today. Fingers crossed it's something nice.
Love you!

An extra day off, Thank you Jeebus!
Ahhhh! Thank god for that, there are no kids in the club again so I've been given the day off. and it couldnt come at a better time.
[Scene: Agios Nikoloas, sat in front of a bar with my second frappe of the day overlooking the port. Beautiful!]
So i've decided after my 4th (?) hungover sunday in a row, I shall have to stay off the drink for a bit, I get far too rowdy and have taken to flashing/stripping at any given opportunity. not a good look.
We all went out on Saturday night, as usual, to the same bar, Aquarius, and as usual didnt arrive home til about 6am. yuck. messy messy. But I think this is it now, that was my final blow out. I haven't felt that ill from drink in a very long time, and my mum will shout at me but I have to say it was because of that demon drink, Vodka. Yuck.
I also dont remember how I got home. :-s I think I got a taxi, the guys at the bar ordered me one but i'm told I wondered off. it's ok, I did my usual check when I woke up, Purse, Phone, Camera etc, CHECK, fully clothed, CHECK, Shoes, CHECK, bruises/injuries NONE. thank god, that was lucky eh!
I went out last night as well, I didnt get drunk though, one of the girls from Diosce cove came to meet Ricky and then I ended up going with them to this party. It seemed like it was going to be really exclusive and cool, we had to get special invites and wear white but when we got there in the end there was only about 12 people there. Exclusive maybe, cool? not really.
Pretty much straight away we jumped into the awesome pool in our undies. much fun. seeing as though it was a pool party pretty much no-one but us loud mouth brits went in the pool, a bit off. I had fun though and because we were swimming I didnt really drink.
I've been missing home alot this last week or so, it's not been the best of atmospheres. it's hard work living, working and socialising with the same people all the time. I worked out today that we work about 60 hours a week. it's exhausting. I miss working decent hours, getting a decent wage and eating good food. I want my nana and my family and friends and most of all I want a big hug. a nice big smooshy cuddle off my Nana or anyone. and I miss my bed.
(It's really exciting how many veiws I've been getting! ahh! thats over a thousand since I started! YAY!)

Stalkers, Sunshine and beautiful trousers
Today, Thursday the 9th of June, I Fiona Jones actually felt like changing my name, dying my hair and donning a disguise. Major Panic.
So the Italian Stallion, is way too intense for me. I was pondering if I had any feelings for him, and then this happened.
He asked me to decide, ME, to decide whether he should quit his job and move to Crete, TONIGHT. not like a, oh we could get to know each other, I'll come and see you but a, shall I quit everything and come to Crete. In no uncertain terms he was either mildly obsessive or majorly in love with the idea of me.
Needless to say I responded quite clearly that I had no intention of starting a relationship with him, that he was out of order for asking me to do that and that he should stay where he is. and then I deleted him off Facebook.
I'm still gonna get a ribbing every time I go into Aquarius though, I know it.
In other news,
Last night I went for a romantic meal with Ricky (Flaps) and did some shopping in Agios Nikoloas. I bought a dead nice dress with money i earned from babysitting and was 10 seconds away from buying some BEAUTIFUL trousers, they were blue and white with an envelope closing, the woman was going to move the buttons to make them fit perfect, they had little peg legs with cuffs on the bottom and I actually nearly had a heart attack when I realised I'd looked at the wrong tag. I'd seen 40euro, buuuut that was just the belt. they were 90euro!
so our romantic meal.... it wasn't really but the people in the resturant when we walked in thought we were a couple, they didnt by the end when we were spitting our drinks across the resturant from laughing too much.
Then we got home and I've moved in with Ricky and Jenna for a few days, having had faaaar too much coffee I was awake til gone one and we were talking about the most rediculous things.
ehhh, s'all good.

The average week of mine
Monday morning, roll out of bed cursing that it’s a work day and not a holiday. Put on FIT uniform of giant old man white shorts and white polo shirt. Hop on the bus and get to work two hours early.
Breakfast of bread and cheese and marmite (if I still have marmite left that is)
Do different activities with the kids until one, tidy up the club house and go to lunch, I take my laptop and we have a little computer club running in reception while we wait for some unrecognisable and inedible food to be laid out in the less than hygienic ‘canteen’ which consists of old patio furniture and lots of flies, everywhere.
Back to work and take the kids swimming, to the beach and do lots of painting, uniform makes a great canvass.
6 o’clock we sign the kids out and it’s a race to tidy up and catch the bus.#
Get home about 7 and tidy up mess made this morning in the rush to get out of the apartment.
Make dinner. Do washing, thank god we just got a washing machine.
Read, chat, drink, eat, and sleep.
Do this again Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and then Saturday.
Saturday night comes and we’re all ready to drop but we get showered and put our glad rags on and head out to town, Agios Nikoloas,
Dance, Drink, Eat,
End up in Aquarius, our regular bar, where the boys flirt and dance and drink while they work the bar
Dance some more,
5:30, stumble home, crawl up the hill and try not to fall on the 17 thousand steps to our apartments.
Sleep
Sunday, Day off!
Hungover. L
Beach as soon as humanly possible.
Feel human and part backed at about 6pm and wish we could go out again but it’s a school night.
Brooding at Breakfast.....
I feel lonely. Super lonely.
I know I’m with some great people out here and I’m not actually alone but I feel a bit like I’ve lost everyone I knew.
I know I’m far away from home and it costs a bit to ring and text to Crete and I could do the same but with the exception of a few people I’ve not had any messages or ‘miss you’s’ or even ‘how are you getting on out there’. Maybe I’m just being a bit too sensitive but it’s my blog and I’ll write what I want.
I’m having another think about my future, I’m enjoying being away (aside from some bits of it i’ve already moaned about) and I think I want to carry on after this season is done.
Do I really need to go to uni? I enjoy it and that, but I enjoy this and could do this for years and be in exotic countries and sunshine all year round. Sounds pretty idyllic even though the work is hard. I think maybe that’s what I am really like; a bit of a nomad (is that the right term?) I love to travel and I love to be in different places, I get bored easily and I’m not scared of travelling on my own. Is that my future?
I have worked pretty hard and waited a long time to go to university, but it’s not cracking up to be all I expected really. I like doing theories and research and things but it’s not like we spend a long time doing them, I expected long, intelligent debates and lectures. Maybe that’s to come. I’m not struggling or doing a bad job, I more than scrape though with my essays and presentations.
I don’t frikkin know.
I’m just a bit lonely.

best catch up on my blog....
Hello!
well where do I start, It's been a busy week!
it's been pretty manic of late, we had loads of children in each day, a manager came out to do our appraisals (after two weeks of work for most of us!) and of course I've been for a couple of drinky poo's too.
I had to relocate for a few days as my room mate got Gastroenteritis and she had to be put into isolation so I've been living with Ricky and Jenna, we went out for a few drinks on Thursday with Lal that came out from England and stayed out a little bit too long so I had a sore head on Friday, not a good idea when you work with kids. Bad Fi, I've already blogged about drinking on a school night.
so of course we went out Saturday night aswell, not a school night but lots of fun, we went for tea with the girls from Diosce cove, another resort nearby and I had the most beautiful salad ever. seriously, I felt so healthy we hardly get any vegetables, I'm looking forward to my vitamins arriving courtesy of mother J. Then Ricky and I decided to play last man standing, needless to say I think he won, but we did stay out til half 5 in the morning. pretty good going I think. It's become a bit of a tradition to spend our days off hungover on the beach and we meet the boys from our regular bar, Aquarius. they told us a great resturant and booked us a table so we could have a roast dinner, ohhh it was good! It was missing parsnips and stuffing though.
So a bit of serious business now, It seems I may have a serious admirer, no, I DO have a serious admirer. This Italian stallion that I met the other weekend, he's gone to Spain and has messaged me a couple of times, he says that he cannot stop thinking about me, that when he looks at other girls he doesn't see anything and tells me lots of other mushy things like that I'm beautiful. Cant be bad, eh? but the thing is, I feel like a proper cow, he was a lovely guy and it would be lovely to see him again, but I've been a girlfriend/fiance for soo long that I need to be just Fi. I don't like the thought of hurting people but I mean, how can he have such intense feelings for me after only me knowing for 2 days?
Thoughts?
