I'm so freaking tired!

Ok i'm at Gatwick, 1.58am, very tired as not slept since 8am Sat morning after a grueling day of auditions yesterday and won't get to sleep till 4am Monday morning as opening bar tonight but as promised here we go folks my update, but maybe just a short one as its on a pay computer LOL.

First of all flew back to Cardiff Thursday with Helen, saw my mum for a quick cup of tea and to see Petra the Dog, she is so cute. Then on to to see our new home and i've got to say if i had been in the UK when it was time to move in the house wouldn't have looked anywhere near as good as it does and its all down to Helen, its stunning in ever way possible and attention to fine detail is beautiful. I love it. Helen asked me if i was going to put pictures on here of it but i think a home is a personal thing and isn't something to be splashed all over a simple blog like mine, maybe on Grand Designs website as it is lovely.

So here goes, what you've all been waiting for WINTER WIPEOUT UPDATE, So to start off i missed my connecting train but still got to audition 30mins before time. Then i forgot my shorts as left them in Greece and also forgot to buy new ones that morning from town. Off i went to find a clothes shop near the audition venue, Nothing! I found a charity shop and bought a second hand pair of cargo shorts and they looked great but hadn't tried them on. Went to a second charity shop to find a sports pair but the pair i tried on looked like the pair Eric Morcambe used to wear with the wire rims around the bottom they were that baggy on me, looked like a 7 year old with a pair of mans shorts on, you know the ones, they were always the last pair left in the spare PE kit box if you forgot your shorts.

Got to venue for audition and cargo shorts fitted perfect and looked fine.

There were 3 stages to audition and you had to pass each to go on to the next, there were 300 attending the Cardiff audition.

Stage 1. 1 minute presentation of yourself to show your personality. I went in there and just gave them myself like i do to the customers in the Oceanic, smiling, upbeat and not over the top. My thought was "just be yourself kev". There were people there in fancy dress, acting outrageous and some just in their every day clothes. I passed! Woohoo! Only 80 were chosen out of 300.

Stage 2. The Assault Course and fitness. This was a short physical warm up with a little assault course nothing a child couldn't complete but again it was all about using your personality. First you had an interview to camera as they filmed everyone as if it was like the show, then your shout out at the top of the course, then you did the course. Guess what, i passed Yeehaa! Only 40 i think went through to next stage from 80 but not sure maybe more maybe less.

Stage 3. Private interview. Then you were taken to a private room and interviewed individually in front of a camera, this was alot more relaxed and more of a speak freely session so they could learn more about you. Well, talking is big part of my business so no problem there then, you can't shut me up once i've started LOL I think it went very well indeed, i didn't need any prompt questions they just interuppted me with questions when they wanted to know more about something i had said.

So now your wondering, Did he get on the show? Well me too. They will go through all audition tapes once all the venues have auditioned then choose the final contestants taken everything in to account so its just a sit and wait time now, nothing more i can do.

So from this point on if i get on the show i can tell you that, also i guess i can tell you about when i'm going and when it will be aired but once its been filmed you will have to watch the show to see how i got on if i get on the show as usually you can't tell anyone the result of the show before its aired which will be this winter as its a special Winter Wipeout.

So thats it for now but i'm in Gatwick all alone, well i thought i was till i heard this voice calling "Kev". It was only good old Irish Joe Redding one of my customers who is heading out to Crete for 2 weeks then 4 days after that holiday he's out to Zante for more of my Dessert Cocktails. Its a small world.

I may have missed loads out but got 4 mins left and brain is fried. Next update from the island when i'm more awake. Kalanita Folks!
