You'll I'm over half way, counting the days (14 working and last day here off) now and have managed to pay back the money I was borrowed to pay the boy's school fees, chip away at the credit card debt, and tomorrow I'll repay the flight money.
Still other monies to find before it's 'tinny money' time ... but all goin to plan ...

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
ALTHO! ... as it's hard to guess what i'll exactly earn on future nights, and I keep finding other monies that will be needed, my figures are basically all over the place, and today I need roughly an extra £500 that will be hard to find. I'm really pushing things with targets now, but can only do more hours! I'm thinking my last weekend I'll break all records as in hours so will hopefully be ok.
I spose if we don't do it I can always buy one of these:

Paul, have just been catching up with your time in London town!
Hang on in there, not too long to go & glad to see you still keeping your sense of humour(Comments about good London drivers indeed) Things must have changed since I lived there or perhaps it was only sarf of the river where evryone was possessed with road rage!
Best wishes. The rain has got to be good for business I guess?

Jelousy will get you no where! ...
Sarf of the river? ... hmm, now let me think.
Sorry, not my way tonight ... ... altho seriously, trust me I'm goin all over the place, not turning a fare down!
Rain CAN be good, but if it's been raining all day it can also stop ppl goin out so is best to start peeing down at about 9pm when everyone is in their restaurant, theatre, whatever! ... and come out to it! ... Altho at the same time it will make ppl that normally wait around for a licenced cab, use a tout in desperation so not always a good thing rain.
Anyway, did 9 hours tonight and made my target + £50 to go towards the ever increasing overall target I need to make to buy that bloody tinny I keep goin on about ...lol
Will keep me goin tho hopefully ...
Now where's that Pomme and her WTF? ...

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
I did have plans to indulge lots with these, but so far only 2 and the other was way better, but this was thrown at me on day 2 when I was a bit 'iffy' to say the least.
I eat half ...
EASY the biggest thing me and my lot miss from the UK. We've tried a few on the Gold Coast, but have now given up and settle for Sharwoods ...
Sorry Ash, but you know me and my camera!

Hi Paul,
I don't post very much on here, more of an observer but love it all the same, so just wanted to say "wishing u all the luck in the world" and keep the posts coming. Beats a bed-time read any day, lol.

Re: NEVER thought I'd say it, but I'm goin home!
Ok, the tower to the right holds ole Nelson, so this is Trafalgar Square.
THIS tho is to me a mystery, prob called 'Art' or something.
Just a random.
Now THIS is clever and fair play to whoever woked this one out.
Now on the left parking bay you have a few cars, on the right none.
Now picture it with the bays full of cars! ... 6pm onwards.
Where do the moving cars go? ...
Ok for motorbikes, but the odd 7 ton lorry has problems. This is around the corner from where I'm staying and you know what, I've NEVER had to reverse so much to let another car pass! ... just don't happen in Oz ...
I spose the streets were after all built for horse and cart, but this place seems sooooo small.
