Day 29: Four weeks in and counting

Back to work today, although as I wasn't starting until 11:30 I managed to get a lot of little jobs done that I needed to.  It's really starting to feel boring and domestic!
At work today, I made a chai tea and some crème brulees and took a few reservations.  This is the first shift I've done when I've been able to stay and take advantage of my 50% off at the end of a shift.  I had pad thai, it was delicious and I ate the whole plateful!
I had an appointment at the bank next to see if I can get a credit card.  It seems that either I don't earn enough money or I don't have the right paperwork to prove it.  As my rent is "all in" I'll have to try and find out how much of my payment is actually for rent and not bills, if I reduce what counts as my rent this might give me a loophole.  Then I'll have to wait until I've actually got some payslips and take all this into the bank.  It sounds a bit faffy, but then I'm surprised they will even let foreigners on temporary visas have any credit so I can't really complain too much. She suggested I get myself more hours of work, but I definitely don't want to do that!
On the way home, I did my shopping, then I made sandwiches for my Running Room shifts, cooked dinner and then ate copious amounts of cheesecake!  A fairly slow day, but I needed one.
I know I still haven't got round to taking any photos of my new home, but I felt like being lazy, eating cheesecake and trying to plan the rest of my week out instead.
I also had a look at the Iron Horse website again as I got an email from them the other day with more info.  The countdown clock is a bit daunting.
I miss doing races where I know loads of people.
