So we are staying here for the 3 weeks holiday doing nothing much :( So really looking forwards to going back to visit my parents for a week in England in september fingerscrossed all goes well.

We went to the supermarket today and got some food different from italian foods. Found heniz baked beans, Piella, rice, noodles, sweet and sour sauces will be nice for a change from pasta and pizza. Going ti have a nice eggs, baked beans and ham tonight :DD

Alex said no when i asked him to get me some crisps from the shops apparently i eat to much and complain my arms are to big sometimes (which i do), so hes basically calling me fat. I might be medium build but i dont eat that much far less than him infact. I really dont like being called fat where he mean't it or not or weather he said it in the wrong was as english isnt his first language. I just need to join the gym here in Roma like i did in London but i can't until i find a job.

I got really upset about it and he didnt realised what he'd done he got really worried and said he hadnt ment it that way. I think alot of it was a passing moment of homsickness as im usely quite mellow and know he doesnt mean these things sometimes the translation fails from itlian to english. Being homesick can make me a bit up and down and i have been here 5 months and seen my parents only once which was in April for 4 days.

I've arranged an evening out with two of the wives of Alex's friends a girl's only thing so i can try and bond with them. Really miss having girly friends i can shop with and talk to about anything, or just going for a walk or a drink with.

Hopefully going to meet up with some of the girls from the italian course as well which would be nice. I need to make friends here i really do.

I have facebook which i use to keep in contact with my friends in London but its not the same as having some one physically in the same country as you.
