Can't quite believe it but i'm off to St Lucia on Sunday for 3 weeks!!!

It all started out as a bit of a joke - my boss is heading off to St Lucia with his family to cruise around the islands as he does about twice a year.

Anyhoo...the girl that was supposed to go as their cook has let them down so my colleague jokingly suggested I could do it...It went a little something like this...

Boss "our cook has let us down and we leave on Friday - yikes"

Colleague "Sue could do it - she likes boats and she dives"

Boss "Can you cook?"

Me "yes. Is there room for my dive gear?"

Boss "we'll pay for your flight and pay your wage and treat you as one of the family, after we leave you can stay on for a few days if you like"

Me "Cool - but is there room for my dive gear?"

Boss " Yes, there's plenty of room"

Me "Count me in then!"


Yee ha! Cripes - I guess i'd better brush up on a few recipes, i don't think beans on toast will quite cut it (they're no chavs).
