Hey - 20 days before I go home and counting - its not long to wait now. Another 2 full weeks to go and 10 more pilates classes to teach and then I am home! Not that I am counting or anything!!!


I had another busy week. The usual round of teaching 3 lunch times (13 in my class on Saturday - very busy!!) and I did an extra abs class on Tuesday to cover for Jason who was away. So, I did ache somewhat by the end of the week!


Work was incredibly quiet last week - in fact, its been pretty quiet this week, but a lot of folk seem to be out on business or training courses.


I did manage to fit in a sports massage (from over-doing it at the gym!) and I later went for a meal with some of the new girls (and my old friends) over at the Tandoori which was nice.... its interesting to find out why folk come out here, but generally it is for the money!! Even though the exchange rate is rubbish at the moment!


Rushed home Weds, got changed and went to help set up for the PAWS karaoke night! It was very busy and we had around 100 folk there - I did a good job of flogging the tickets! Made some really good cash for PAWS too which will go towards helping the homeless animals on camp too! Here is a photo of myself and Louise - the PAWS Queen - she does an amazing amount of work for the animals and is also a yoga guru! After the PAWS party we then went on to say our farewells to Kerrie and Simon who are leaving KSA. We hope to see you back soon! Good luck!!!!

The weekend (believe it or not) was a pretty quiet affair. The weather was pretty rubbish most of Weds - gusty winds and rain which ran into Thursday and so stopped us from going on a planned camping trip. Plan B had been to go to Bahrain, but I couldnt face being sat on the causeway in traffic jams for hours as it was pay weekend and is always busier than normal. Anyway, we decided to go into town to pick up some presents for our trip home in a couple of weeks instead so that was that job out the way. I managed to go to the gym later and then myself and Darron cooked thai food in my postage stamp of a kitchen... anyway, it turned out nice and Sheryl and Ian came by later for food (who we were supposed to be camping with) and then we played golf on the Wii!

Slept in on Friday - I think I was a bit burnt out really to be honest as I had been feeling knackered all week! We just watched films and Heros (another series I have become engrossed in as well as Prison Break!) - saw Kinky Boots - have you ever seen the film - its really funny - worth getting from the DVD shop if you havent! We also went grocery shopping and then came back and chilled out some more - most unlike me isnt it - to chill out!

This week has been quiet again at work, although Ali B has returned and Ali G has gone on a course for a couple of days. I taught pilates yesterday lunch and also started personally training a friend at the gym. I did my own workout and then another workout with Jacqueline. She has asked me to train her twice a week now too and another friend has also asked me to teach her!!!
Its good to be in demand and doesnt take up too much time as I combine it with my training too!
There is just such a shortage of fitness teachers on camp. I could actually give up work and teach full time to be honest!

Anyway, another busy week of boot camps, teaching and I am helping out with a tour going to Qatif on Thursday morning so a nice early 6am start for me then! Darron is working so he will be getting up then anyway! Off to Bahrain after Darron finishes work to get my hair done at the Ritz and then Friday I think we hope to go up to the International Circuit so Darron can use his gift certificate to go Hummer off - road driving! And we may squeeze the beach in too later if its not raining or whatever - the weather is weird at the moment! Its been hail stoning in Abu Dhabi and Dubai too this week!!

Right - its almost home time.....

See you soon...
