Dear all!
And then the day has come.. After all the goodbyes from the last 2 days, you really can't blame a girl for crying. I am sad to go home because I think I have found some true friends. I really enjoyed working for the British heart foundation and even though the hours I sometimes did in a week made me feel a bit exhausted, I did like it a lot. Thank heavens I was not the only one crying yesterday (though I waited until I got home and was safe and sound in my bed). One of our colleagues got upset because the assistant manager was leaving for her holiday and was in tears. another colleague was in tearing up because I was leaving, but we are going to stay in touch and a promise to celebrate my birthday abroad made me feel a lot better about leaving.
I am going to miss my party girls and the cookie master most, but will think back on this as a great summer! Thank you all!!
for everyone at home: I will see you very soon..
lots of love!

I'm coming home
Dear all,
Last week was a lot of excitement for me. Last Friday I went to the cinema again, which is a lot cheaper than the Netherlands. I can get in for 4.90 pounds and pay 3.50 for a gigantic coke, the size of a bottle. The girls from the wycombe shop and I decided on going to "Rise of the planet of the apes", which I can say we enjoyed very much. Saturday we had a farewell party from the temporary manager of the wycombe shop and we went bowling. It was a blast! After two games we went clubbing and dragged ourselves from the local pub/disco to a nightclub called Pure. I arrived at home at 4.30 am and could wish my friend a good morning, who was doing her morning prayer and is participating in the Ramadan. Come midday, on Sunday, I was totally exhausted and kept falling asleep on the settee.
The rest of the week has not been too exciting. I have been working at the foundations since Monday and tomorrow is my last day of work this week. Sunday I am having a day off, but I am hoping to go to the parc if the weather decides to agree with me. next week will be very exicting, as it is my last week in England. I will be working from monday - wednesday and plan on going home on thursday.
that will be all for now!
See you all very soon I hope,
Love,
Sheila

Clubbin' in Wycombe
Dear all,
Lots has happened since last week. Last Friday I went out with Millie (the assistent manager of the Wycombe shop). We went to the cinema and saw Horrible bosses, which turned out to be a great film. Last Saturday I went out with a small group from the shop and we had a great night. First on the list was bowling, then we had some dinner at Franky and Benny's (an American-Italian restaurant) and ended the night in a pub, dancing our arses off.
This week was busy at the foundations, but it was fun. Thursday and Friday I had a day off. Thursday I travelled to London to see Sanae. We had a terrible time in the rain, but I was happy to see her again. Friday I saw my dad and we travelled to Aldershot to have a look at the Army medical museum, which included some frighting display items, but it was very interesting to see. We then had lunch in Marlow and went to Hughenden manor, which was the house of a former prime minister to Queen Victoria and a secret base from WWII. The house itself looks to die for, as far as a house can look like that, but what I mean is that there probably isn't anyone who does not want to live it that house. The day ended after a nice meal at Franky and Benny's. I really enjoyed spending time with my dad, but it felt really different because we usually go on holiday to England together and now we caught up to spend a day together and then went our own way when the day ended.
Yesterday and today I was back at work, because I needed to get up to 20 hours and because I promised Millie I would be in today. It was raining almost all day long, but that did not really matter as I spend most of my time inside. Tomorrow I'm of to London again to see my dad since this will be his last few day in the country.
Good night!
Love,
Sheila
