Chapter 11
The next day I had to get up at 8! I had the worst hangover but I was so excited because today we were going to see our new house for the first time! I packed up my things and took them downstairs, my dad and my brothers were there having breakfast and Karen was up too. I must of looked pretty frightful cos Karen asked me with a smirk on her face if I was feeling alright I shook my head and she handed me a panadol. Before we left Karen told me that if I ever needed to talk about anything she was there, about boys, friends or if anything is troubling you or you need help please ring me, and don't worry anything you tell me I will keep confidential if you want. I said thanks and that I would and hugged her.
One hour later we pulled into our new estate it was about 15 mins away and situated in Mayfair, an inner-city London suburb (rather snobby :( area!) It was huge, the house was bigger than the Okelshaw's and the grounds were magnificent! There was three outdoor pools, forest with paths leading through it leading to little ponds and benches and fountains, all the paths had fairy lights leading the way for at night, there was stables along with a small arena for jumping, there was a gym with an indoor 25m 5 lane pool, 5 tennis courts (why- I don’t know) and and outdoor play house for plays or movies in the summer and could seat 60 people and best of all the property fronted onto the river and had a boathouse! There was top security as well. The house was huge (Too huge) it was shaped like this I_I (birds-eye view) with the middle having a fountain and gardens. It was four stories too. My area was on the ground floor and it had a blacony so that I could jump from it into one of the outdoor pools. My room had a double bed, TV, walk-in wardrobe, the usuals-desk, bokshelfs, an my own bathroom (such a luxery- really!) and three phone lines (one for the Internet, one my own private phone line and another for the house phone) and an intercom. I also had my own adjoining living room with sofa-beds and a TV, then two separate spare rooms for visitors with their own on-suites as well. This was all on my side of the corridor and Andy had exactly the same lay out on his side, plus a shared playroom for both of us with a pool table, sofas, playstation and bar(nothing in it though :(!) My little brother had the same on the 2nd floor and my father had the entire 2nd floor on the otherside of the house, and the rest of the house was filled with ballrooms, dinningrooms, libraries, lounges and endless spare rooms! I got lost a few times looking around too! We spent most of the day unpacking and settling into our new house. That night I went onto the internet and using my Yahoo!pager I talked to a few of my melbourne friends and e-mailed tons of people. Then I buddied William's address and saw that he was on-line so I sent him an instant message and chatted with him for about an hour and gave him my phone numbers, after a while he had to go so I said bye, and talked to Sara and Lily (my best friends in Melbourne) who had seen the headlines was so excited! After a while I said goodbye as Caroline had rung on the other line about tomorrow, she would pick me up at 10. Just when I was going to bed Matt rang so I talked with him for a while and he gave me his e-mail and I gave him mine, tomorrow (Wednesday) he and his family were coming for diner so I could see him then!:)
