I arrived in Melbourne in the morning and planned to do the neighbours tour that afternoon - no chance! I managed to do my washing b4 I gave up and hit the sack. I was in a dorm of 8 and got woken up by one of the lads who had come in for a nap too! After a quick chat and a agreement to got drinking with the dorm lot I managed to get another hours kip or so.

After sleepy land I met my roomies Calum (aka BFG he's a scotsman and also 6ft 10!) Maryann (orish lass, there always a oirsh) Charlotte (wee yorkshire lass) Egor (he was called Olen but I renamed him due to his creepyness).

I challenged Toadie to a arm wrestle - I won

If you cant find my pulse you may have to give me mouth to mouth

We headed into Melbourne for a few drinkies - at about 1ish Charlotte and Maryann bailed to leave me with the scotsman - Never go drinking with a scotsman! Although Ive had my training with the Orish a few weeks ago, they never got me to drink pints of blue stuff! And then bitch because I could keep up with him - he was drinking shorts! We finally got home about 5.

The next morning Maryann left and the 3 of us went for the biggest breakfrast in the world. And just to make my day Steffan Dennis aka Paul Robinson was in the same restraunt! Whoo this set me up for the day as I was off to Ramsey street that afternoon.

Ramsey so tiny! I got lots of piccy's of the houses - I didnt get any stars as it was a weekend and they dont film (how good is there job!) I even got to do a bit of acting to get a great shot of me being runover by the neighbours coach.

Also when no one was watching I managed to steal a lemon from the Lemon Tree which is outsides Susans and Karls House. (thats a hint for the plot for all you guys in England) After that we went to the school.

After a chilled out nite I got up early to go to Phillip Island to see the little penguins. Firstly though I got to stroke a wombat, feed a kola and feed a whole herd of Kanga's.

Lets get a real Dr

Then we went to the Island, we had to wait until sunset as the little guys wont come out of the water due to horrible birds of prey that will swoop down and take them away. After waiting forever (its not very warm out here) the little guys finally surfaced, they spent mostof the time coming out of the water then looking around changing their mind so going back into the water. Finally a few of them plucked up the courage and waddled up the beach and right pass me! I got to see this a few more times before I made my way back to the coach. The best thing is on your way backyou get to see them waddling around chatting to the other penguins and looking for their nests. They are soooooo cute.

Suddenly every part of me wants to know every part of you . . . Gonna make you feel good, feel good. . . caus theres too many hearts can be broken in two. . . . . ooohh mona.

The next nite after much oohhing and arrhing I decide to stay for neighbours nite. And man was it good!!!! We were told that Toadie (yes) Stingray (whoo) and Boyd (phhooorrr) was gonna be their, and just to top it off Dr Karl and his band were gonna play.

Now when you get there you can fill out a question sheet - when the guys come out they all pick a few questions to answer - ours wasnt choosen, just as well as I dont think it was a very nice question to Toadie. Once question time is over you go nad sit at your tables and the do a few quizzes, whilst this is happening the stars come round so you can have your photo's taken. Now I decided that these gyts are actors so I wanted to get my moneys worth - I didnt want to do the whole standing next to and smiling piccy's. So I made Stingray hold snoop and the stolen lemon (yes I know it looks like a lime) - his face say's it all. I challenged Toadie to a arm wrestle - I won and I made med student Boyd take my pulse! And they loved it! (see photo's)

After a few more vino's (yes Im in a country where I can afford wine) Calum started spreading the BFG love and bought me and Charlotte t-shirts from Dr Karls band which ment we got to meet him back stage! Whooooo hooooo Bring it on!

Nervously we q'ed to meet the man - me and Charlotte proudly wearing our T-shirts (Calum didnt get one as it would of looked like a crop top on him! nice) Finally our time came - we were told one photo and one autograph! Ha I laugh in the face of rules - 4 photo's and 3 autographes later! He signed my front my back and my lemon! I also made him take my pulse as I wasnt sure med student Boyd had got it right.

Ahh Dr K could be taking the place of Dr Yardley (?!) I cant say that as im currently staying at Vicky place (Frans sista and first born to Dr Yardley)
