Update

Oh my goodness I've kept you all in the dark so much recently! I just read back my previous posts and I've left you thinking that I'm moving to Paris! How things changed! So I'll just quickly update you on what has been happening.

Firstly, after telling you that I was moving to Paris I found a new family in Lyon. They sounded amazing! They were going to pay me more money, give me a car that they were paying petrol for but was for my own personal use, had a swimming pool, two alpacas and only one 3 year old child. It all sounds great and I went to visit them last weekend. Anyway, to cut a long story short, one of the alpacas had died. This had no relevance  to the job but I'm using it as symbolism. They'd replaced the alpaca with a llama but what I'm trying to say is that, umm, I'm not really sure... That maybe my dream died with the alpaca? Basically, yes they were stinking rich, but stinking here being the operative word! They smoked like absolute chimneys and I hate smoking! Also the Mum seemed like a right bitch and it just didn't really feel right. Pretty sure they didn't want me anyway as when I left they said 'we'll phone you'. It's almost been a week now and they never have done...

However, because I'd thought that this family was a dead certainty I told the family in Paris that I would not be going to them. I later regretted doing that and tried going grovelling back to them but they had already found someone else. Quelle dommage!

Whilst I was Lyon though, I was contacted by a family in Toulouse. This would be so convenient! So I replied to them and it turned out their next door neighbour's au pair is one of my au pair friends! I went round to meet them and they were so organised and did everything by the book. In a good way though so the Mum was ensuring I wasn't working any more than I should be. We arranged for me to go for a trial babysitting last night. Meanwhile though, I'd been talking to another family in Paris. They were really really lovely and friendly and just wonderful people so I said yes I would come and booked my train. Me being me though, still decided that I would go for the trial babysitting. Because I'm a dickhead! Basically, I love them too. And the thing is I know for definite that I like their family. Like the other family I've only met on Skype so once I arrive they could be different. And I already have friends in Toulouse. But I've booked my train to Paris, for tomorrow! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I think I want to stay in Toulouse but I have booked my train! And I've told the Paris family that I'll arrive tomorrow! Why do I have to be so flipping indecisive all my life!? I think I can still cancel my train, but what would I say to the family!?

So yeah, that's the predicament I find myself in right now, any advice??
