I have had a cold for the past couple of days so been feeling absolutely rubbish. Spent today sunbathing with a box of tissues which is very strange feeling so ill when it's so nice and hot! Opened up a bank account this morning then sunbathed in the afternoon at the Polynesian with Hannah. The resort is amazing and I'd love to stay there but it's incredibly expensive. There's a Spirit of Aloha dinner show that I want to do sometime with hula dancers and stuff. There wasn't the usual afternoon storm so we sat by the pool until around 7pm which was nice for a change! We watched some electric light boat show thing on the lagoon and roasted marshmallows, then sat on sun-loungers watching Toy Story until Wishes started.

Back to work after my two days off was hard with such an annoying cold. I kept going out the back whenever I needed to blow my nose! Was good though because I spent most of my day in the Crown and Crest where it's pretty quiet, I picked up the bump for there at 12 and after every one of my breaks so I pretty much did my whole shift in that store which can usually get pretty boring. I got told again that I sounded Australian but because of my cold my voice does sound different. I met some people who live in Earley and I knew the road so that's the closest people to me I've met so far! I also got told that I was a lot nicer than the girls in France as I was happy to chat to guests for ages so that was nice! I also came across some guests who had no idea we have a firework show?! so I gave them tips on good viewing areas and then I had a lady who after buying drumsticks with the Union Jack on realized that this wasn't the USA pavillion but the red white and blue colors on the drumsticks were good enough!?
Today was Clares birthday so after work me, Kerry and Nathan jumped on a bus at Boardwalk to Magic Kingdom to meet her for Wishes. Due to a thunderstorm they ended up canceling wishes but we did get to watch 'The Magic, The Memories and You' show that they project onto the castle whilst lighting lit up the sky so we had fun.

I've now developed a cough which sucks but my blocked nose isn't so bad so hopefully this cold won't last much longer, I hate feeling crappy at work. I spent the morning on toys and kidcot which was fun and then closed in Sports where it was insanely busy. I had to deal with my first lost child and it's like argh! what's the procedure! But his Dad found him before my co-ordinator got back to me so it was good. He was so sweet though and looked like he was about to cry so I just kept him chatting to him as I phoned my co-ordinator. A lot of people were heading to the cinema after work but I didn't want a late night and needed to get some more medicine so Becky walked to Walgreens and Publix with me. There's a part of the walk where it's dark and there's lots of bushes and we were both stomping our feet really loudly to scare off any snakes, was so funny. I haven't seen any here yet except for a dead one near the bus stop that had been run over by a car. It was gross. Apparently a guest saw one at work on the bridge to France the other day. And a guy posted a pic on facebook of security taking away some deadly snake near the bus stop the other day. I got myself some Dayquil which is so good and then some gross cough medicine, I'm fed up of spending money on medicine but at least it's cheaper than a $300 doctors visit!

I felt better today but still have a stuffy nose so skipped Cowboys tonight as rest is the only thing to get rid of a cold! Work was quite fun. I was on Toys, then Kidcot and a little girl said to me' your hairs falling infront of your eyes', then she brushed my fringe out of my eyes but it fell back again and then she goes 'its fallen in your face again why is it infront of your face?' in a really angry tone?! I closed in Queens and was there for three hours but it was fun as Sherry our perfume rep works in there and you always have fun with her. She also brings in lots of food like brownies and crisps that we can munch on out the back it's great and today she gave some of us a lift home which was incredible. Left Epcot at 9.15 and was back at the Commons by 9.30, first time Ive been in a car since I've been here and I miss it! At the end of the night a couple came in with the cutest girls in strollers, one was like 2 and the other 4 so as it was empty I crouched down and had a long conversation with the 4 year old she was just too cute! She was so happy to chat to me and really impressed that I came from London as the Olympics are there. She told me she came to Disney on a school bus?! That's the one thing I love about this job you can just chat and have fun with guests for as long as you want when it's quiet.

Today after work we caught the end of the closing ceremony in the clubhouse with free drinks and popcorn. Missed most of it though it was the Brazilians onstage and that was kinda rubbish! But I want to watch it all online as so many people said it was good but bizarre! I came out here thinking I'm happy to not be in London for the Olympics and I don't really care about it but seeing pics of people at the games and how Team GB did their best for years made me want to be there! Also sooo many Americans have told me that London did such a great job and they thought the Olympics were done really well by us Brits and we should be proud! So go London!

Today on Kidcot Tigger stole all of my stamps so I couldn't do the kids Duffys or passports. I had to tell my line of kids to wait whilst I demanded Tigger give me back the stamps as he had hidden them all, was so funny.
Standard Lasses tonight after work and there was rumours it would be a Lads Takeover, where the Head Lads come over and run it and the Head Lasses go to Lads. After about half an hour of being there the Head Lads came storming through the door with pitchers of alcohol yelling you drink it or you wear it. So I got to experience my first Lads takeover and it was hilarious, although if I'd been at work the next day no way would I have stayed! We went to a International party after and I came home with a grass skirt and some hawaiian necklace things, plus I managed to get in for free whilst everyone else paid so it was a good night!

The first day of my weekend 'Tragic Tuesdays', we always spend sunbathing somewhere and we did the Grand Floridian again. Then in the evening I joined Megan, her brother and Charlie at Hollywood Studios for Megans last Fantasmic as she leaves this week. She extended for a month so it was nice getting to know her over the last few weeks as shes lovely and one of the first people to leave that I'll miss! I'll also never watch Fantasmic the same way again after she pointed out 'fire blanket ariel'.
