HappyHeart Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) It will never be so awful that you'd need to leave! It'll be fine, it's a 1st world country, you'll be surrounded by English speakers and UK people (owners are English) you'll have something in common with other staff (backpackers). You'll get free food and lodging AND a wage AND an experience! The only thing that will ruin it is your attitude to it. Stop whinging or I'll tell everyone what your new name is;) Edited November 30, 2015 by HappyHeart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quokka2005 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 No they aren't English, people are getting mixed up with the northam place. They are Aussie, there's one other backpacker but not sure where they are from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag of convenience Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I thought it was DY? Guess you've been instructed by members of the forum to keep it quiet.

HappyHeart Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Stacey will be the first to admit that those of us who have special access to Staceys world (via FB msgs) have been 'exposed' to more whinging (stress) than in the thread! She'll also tell you what wonderful advice and tough love, Aunty Ali, HH and Lady R give....and how she is eternally grateful that we stop what we're doing to tend to her needs....won't you Stacey! Lol. No seriously we want her to have an awesome time, to let her guard down and to embrace this wonderful opportunity because we wish we'd had the opportunity to do it ourselves (well I do) and we see ourselves as Mum/Big Sister/Trusted friend role. We just care about her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Aww you guys will make me cry haha. Yes I like complaining about stuff lol its just my thing but I'm working on it! I've had a much harder few weeks here than I expected to have. Well tonight was mixed. Most people were really nice and friendly then one old guy ranted at me because I was supposed to know he wanted another drink. I wanted to chuck it over him. I'm really uncomfortable with the drink driving culture too but I suppose I should have known that. I'm also convinced I'm going to wake up to a spider on me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
