Hellooo to all you lovely people!!

Hiyaa!

I landed here on Sunday so today is second full day here, all still very new and of course as it's new it's all so exciting!


OH and I moved here with his work from Bahrain (the tiny dot of an Island next to Saudi Arabia). This is our second relocation together, he is American and I am English. I am a housewife so don't have the advantage of meeting people through work so I am relying on you wonderful friendly people to help me out a little... friends for sale anyone?! :D


While living in Bahrain I had one particularly close friend, Angel, who was a starbucks addict (like me) and we also used to get manicures together on a thursday.. EVERY thursday. So I shall be scouting around and trying out the various salons when I actually get round to finding them. It would be great to have some girly friends to go with! I have also kept up my ritual of walking OH to work then heading to starbucks for a morning caramel macchiato (sure to wake you up with all that sugary goodness!) and a good old people watching session, I am loving the amount of eyecandy here. So starbucks lovers should definately send me a note, I am sure I must look a bit odd sitting on my own in bucksies.


I am a self confessed shopaholic (although everything here is so expensive, I can't quite believe just how much money I can get through in one day AND I am not even buying that much) and also I love dining out. I am a body modification fan, love my piercings and I think I may have already found the perfect studio (RLD) so if there is anyone else here that shares my love of metal then please do send me a note.


Well, if you have read this far without being bored to tears or even worse... sleep, then you bloody better reply!!!


Thanks,


Charlotte

Hey


I'm actually off to an event tonight. I've actually been to an event the past 3 nights...  think I am due a night off soon haha needz sleepz!


If you guys aren't doing anything special tonight then I'm going to scottdaves drinks party thingy at Cafe Paki. RSVP and come along :) If not then we should meet up sometime at bucksies (I know its like CHF7 for a coffee but oooo its worth it!!)


Let me know if you have a free day and want to get together... I'm a housewife (that does not do much housework) so Im pretty much free most days.


@Becky, For piercings I would recommend RLD on Rue de Berne. It was recommended to me and I popped in the other day for a look around and a chat with the girl on the front desk. The girl I spoke to didn't speak any english but I got by with pointing at random body parts and asking "Combien?" I warn you now, just like everything else in Geneva, it is expensive! So at a push I would use RLD but I think it would be cheaper to just get new piercings at my old piercer when I visit home. What were you thinking about getting pierced? :) I got my tongue done a couple of weeks ago and I love it... next on my list is a triple cartilidge weaving, with one of those really pretty spiral rings through it... can't wait!!!

heyhey


im not really sure about a gathering thingy, gonna head round a few  bars n see what happens,maybe head in that direction but not sure! Im a bit rubbish at decision making, last few times i went out i was just taken round some irish pub and god knows where else, all a bit of a blur!


I think ill wait to im back in the uk in april to get a new piercing, cant afford much here! Im not sure what i want yet, im considering on my back at the bottom of my neck, i think it looks pretty awesome on some people, im just not sure as i have a tattoo there how it will look. I also love the back piercings with the lace to make them look like a corset but dont think id bother, theyd just end up ripped off by clothes,ouch!


I have alot of daytime free when the kids i look after are at school so plenty of time for coffee! Will have to arrange something!x

I love the double industrial piercings at the back of the neck... its pretty and geometric! heh


The corset piercings you are on about are meant to be temporary, so you have them done for a specific event then take them out after as far as I'm aware. I should imagine they will get seriously irritated otherwise and probably rejected.


Wow you look after kids, rather you then me :P I am not child-friendly. I'll send you a note with my cell # and you can let me know when you will be free to bucksies and a good natter.

@Nasra  It was great meeting you. We should totally meet up for a starbucks seeing as how we didn't really get a chance to talk at Cafe Bizarre. I'll send you my cell # and you can send me a text when you're free.
