Hanging

Oh what a day!!!
A quick flight to Bahrain turned into a nightmare. FOG!
The whole of Dubai was covered in it.It took us an hour to take off then we were stuck on ground in Bahrain for 4.5hrs.A plane load of passengers all pusshing their call bells asking whats goin on,what time we leaving,have we missed our connecting flights? HOW WOULD I KNOW!!!!!!
Why do all passengers think that I know all the goings on of the entire company? I am but a minion,a simple air hostess, a trolley dolly!
Stupid stupid people.
Finally we took off and we headed back to Dubai. I was meant to be home by6am but instead only got home at 12!!!! What a long day.
Got home and had a sleep woke up and found a small gathering of people in my lounge.So of course I joined in and before I know it Im standing in front of the TV singing classics from the 90's at the top of my voice. Breakfast at Tiffanys, Mmmm Bop and Bon Jovi! Ran out of soda but didnt seem to fazed by this and instead drank neat whiskey.Needless to say the hangover I have today is not to be laughed at.Only woke up at 16:30 and we made breakfast.Im flying tonight.
A hideous turnaround to Male.The beautiful islands of Maldives,but what a shitty flight especially to do when hungover!

LONDON- December back post

(From the prehistoric hand written diary I was keeping)

Instead os sleeping as origianally planned when I arrived at the hotel I recieved a call from Lisa,apparently Miss P has decided that she does want a short skimpy outfit for her bacholrette party afterall!!!! This after I've been runninga round the Mall of the Emirates yesterday searching for something and finally finding something cute and sexy but not too short!
Ao at this point I have been awake for 28hrs and counting! Im now on the tube goin to meet Lisa and we going to look at Ann Summers for the shortest tackiest fitout I can find.
Miss P needs to learn a lesson I feel!! YOU CANT BE IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING! ( somehow dont think she would believe us if we told her that tho!)
I will spare no expense in teaching her, her lesson!!!!

I am meeting Lol,Cands and Foxy for Dinner this evening in Hammersmith-miles away from my hotel.Thought I was goin to Heathrow,but turns out im in Gatwick!!!!!
In a bid to stop overpacking I now plan my fitouts. For dinner tonight I have decided on my dark soviets,a mans white shirts,my black trench with leopard lining and my black boots!
Great-so thats all I pack. And my PJ's and hair straightner of course!
So I get dressed and I realise with horror that another of my body parts have been affected by my rapid weight gain.
My left foot! I cant figure it out,my foot isn't visibly larger than the other.The fat must be well dispersed in equal measures all over my foot.
I tug and I pull but no! And because Im so strict in my packing I have no other shoes!
And I will NOT resort to wearing my cabin shoes again(Last time I was in London,I called Tarryn the night before and she told me it was hot,so I packed open shoes-and only open shoes so I had to resort to wearing my cabin shoes. There I am trevelling the Picadilly line wearing my denim and black fitout with my flat,brown greencross looking cabin shoes-Oh the horror!!!)
So after what seems like hours(2.5 minutes!)of pulling at my boots I check the bottom-even as Im doing so I already know- the one is a size smaller thatn the other!
How u ask.Well obviously my mother and I have the same boots and obviously hers are a size smaller than mine and obviously when I packed my boots I took one of mine and one of hers. I mean OBVIOUSLY!!!
So I'm on the train looking mighty fabulous and feeling very independant and worldly catching the train alone and riding into London.Secretly smiling to myself and giving myself a huge high 5 at how fab my life is all the while my left foor is slowly losing feeling and Im not sure I'll be able to standwhen the train finally arrives at Vicoria Central Station.
When I try to stand and instead fall over is it better to pretend to be a drunk or bi-polar instead of stupid blonde girl wearing a boot a size to small for her!!!!
Recieve text from Lis:
Where about R U?
Want to reply:

Houston

I've woken up in my hotel room in Houston,its cold(damn air-con) and dark outside.Im so happy tucked up in my bed.Its 6am I should try sleep more but the remote is calling me.
My favourite thing about Houston is the TV,ridiculous but true. The other night Friends,CSI- Las Vegas and Greys were all on at the same time! All my favourites,deciding which one to watch was the most difficult decision I've had to make in ages. Easy life I have!
I went shopping yesterday, to a mall The Galleria.Had to catch a bus to get there.A bus???
Of course we find the only crazy on the bus.Some weird guy with a red face and ginger hair,wearing double denim-you can just imagine it! HE felt the need to give us a running commentry of the trip.On the left is where his aunt used to live,on the right is a Wendys he ate at,you know all the useful infomation that I was just dying to know!!
Finally got off the bus and lost him and then its straight to the food court.We were all hungry so we needed to find food.The portion sizes in the states are not to be laughed at.Burgers the size of dinner plates and litre milkshakes.I setteled for a salad.
I found a shop on the ground floor filled with tacky things,I spent over an hour goin throught the rails finally deciding on an animal print dress with a sequin band around the boobs,a stunning black jersery and a rollong stones two tone t-shirt(my fav!) and of course a selection of cheap costume jewellery.
All I want to do is go back to my hotel room but we've agreed to meet at 2pm to go together.So I walk around a bit more and find SAKS.Ah I love touching designer clothing.I found a D&G skirt suit that I just hold against me for 15 minutes.PRADA and CHANEL have fab collections and I just walk around touching them.I found a full fur coat.How do I feel about fur?
I love the way it feels on my skin but it is in fact a dead animal.Is it ok,cos its dead already and someone has to wear it? Truth be told though,when I see someone in fur I get mad.
Im like How dare you!!!!
Guess Im against fur.Except vintage.Thats my loophole!Fur from 40years ago is fine,those animals would have died by now anyway and there were more animals back then.
So finally get on the bus and its back to the hotel.Its the end of the school day so there are many high school students on board.They scare me.I 've watched to many movies.I keep my eyes downcast,what if I make eye contact and they attack me! silly.
Walking from the bus stop to my hotel I see a hotdog stand.
Im so overcome with excitment! An actual hotdog stand,its so America.I get one with ketchup and tomatoe and onion.It was ok,but I was hoping for cooked relish that would soak into the roll and go all soggy,like the hotdogs from the Windmill in East London.Ooohhh,I want one now!!!!
Think its time to order breakfast.
Im think pancakes.
When in Rome and all!!!!
