The Cru

Helena: sharky_hel@hotmail.com

the big boss. helena was someone i was never really close to, but could be chatted to all the same, but we didnt click, have anything in common, and she was sometimes moody. she had some funny moments though, usually in the pub, or doing headstands all morning. winner.

wendy: spence_wendy@hotmail.com

was a more approachable blueshirt, very chatty in her appraisal and very 'motherly' to us young redshirts.now off in cairo, and good luck to her! she pissed me off on results day with her 'in the room' quotes.

cat: catmc_28@hotmail.com

cat was a legend, no doubt about it, however little i saw her. she made it clear from the start she hated divide between blue and red shirts, and made it her mission to get to know everyone. loud and crazy on the outside, shes also great for a chat in the car or pub, about anything. and her funky dancemoves and poses (photos on www.photobucket.com password bovvered username chelmsford_cudaz if i ever forget) were legendary. as were the catchphrases- ("bovvered", "winner", "jog on", "do one" will live in my head far longer than "be in the room"... ;)

dunno if ill c her this year, simply cause shes loads older and absolutely everyones friend, but hey!next year she'll be there!

Becki: rebecca_louise@blueyonder.co.uk

office girl becki was cool but i just didnt see her enough to click at all. she was again talkable to and never that moody, and hilarious when drunk (again see photos of her on the giant penis in dukes-hmmm...)

rhiannon: rhiannon_harris@hotmail.com

rhiannon, otherwise known as "minnow guru" is a great person- very sweet (mainly cause she sounds like a kids tv presenter) but got to know her as a person after that and shes cool. ultimately brilliant at her job, she can also be a laugh, (though she was very low for a couple of weeks-boyfriend trouble) managing to be the first person to stick their foot in their mouth by shouting out downstairs- "so he is gay then?"...hmm...

would like to catch up again, but probably wont throughout the year until cudaz!

lisa: lisadswann@hotmail.com

lisa is a strange old chesnut. tempestuous and strict and sometimes moody on one hand, an absolute legend, very open and a lack of bs on the other. she seems to have a bad luck story for everything- she knows someone in prison for killing people drink driving, she used to get beaten and burnt by her ex, and her current boyfriend thinks she should be a housewife and wont let her see other guys- to the extent that she called me 'christina' when she said she was working with me.that aint good.

nevertheless, she's one of the people on camp i found easiest to chat to, and would definately like to catch up- with her mental 'i dont go on socials' attitude and psycho bf i dont think itll happen though.

louisa: louisacordle@yahoo.co.uk

she was the butt of all jokes during 5 weeks, getting quite cruel at times, but likable enough despite her unsafeness and eccentricities, and was the only one to help out katie may when she was unconscious in her own puke.she got 2 warnings for teaching kids headstands and not realising a kid fractured his arm, and her main memorable moments include stories of her dyeing her hair with food colouring, wanting a text message service to tell her the weather, and her piss annoying interuptions on training day (yup, she got people, that early)

simon: s.lomax@btinternet.com

simon was the sort of person whos fine but i'll never talk to by choice in the next year-like background music in a bar thats amiable but you'll never listen to. martin made a great foot in the mouth moment when he said 'theyre all taking the mick out of you for being gay' right before simon said 'i am'...hahaha

hannah: hana__l@hotmail.com

hannah is similar to simon in most respects, just slightly more talkative and slightly more tempestuous. hse had a go at me in front of a kid for breaking her tamagotchi-most unprofessional- and lisa had similar complaints when they worked together.she was also the discovery labs guru tho, very useful for a quivk switch- which you then didnt have to take flack or the blame for if it bombed!yay!

katie james: honeybearxx2@hotmail.com

katie was alright outside of kids, very essex and funny, despite being twice my age- strolling in with her in dukes was a winner!however, in front of kids she was just scary- stupidly strict, sent out a kid for burping when someone was speaking, would sit in silence until there was silence and demanded straight lines.course, when she wernt there they went crazy, so i dont think that helped, and that just wasnt my bag for the summer- the bad side of the teacher style co-ordinator.
