a month in writing... continued

After lunch, we all went back to the lounge. US and i started playing on my new ds game. everyone else was just sat around talking. Eventually mum decided to get puddings out and i made some chocolate sauce for the profiteroles. Not many people had puddings as the dinner was quite large.. About 11 o clock everyone went home.
On boxing day, M came over and we went to my grandparents for lunch and then dinner later on. After lunch we watched the new terminator film, which i thought was hopeless and had no story line to it. As is usual on boxing day, we played lots of rounds of cards. I tried to teach M how to play pontoon and brag, but he proved incapable of learning.. he was more interested in watching pirates of the carribean: at worlds end. Me, mum, dad and JL won quite a lot of money between us, but i think grandma won the most.
Sunday was a lazy day for us, we stayed at home chilling out and just relaxing after the two busy days we had just had.
Yesterday M had invited me round so after going out for lunch at the wing way and going to coventry, i went to his house. L had A round as well and so the four of us played guitar hero: world tour. After a while JB called us through to have dinner, chicken pasta bake with carrots, sweetcorn and broccoli. It was a nice meal and really chilled out and layed back :) After dinner, M, L, A and I went back to the playstation, but this time we were playing buzz. It was great fun. we played four different buzz games. I only really did well at the last game we played which was about films (my forte). Although i didnt have the most point at the end, i got the genius cup for getting the most correct answers, and i would have beaten the others if they hadnt kept stealing my points.. It was another good day with M :)
Today has just been another chill out day, i spent most of the day reading a book, and when i finished it i started the next one in the series :) at about 4 o clock dad said that we were going to pick up mum and so we went and then on the way back we stopped off at fosse park ( i didnt buy anything). While we were out i started talking to M on msn. He told me that i had to make a new post on here seeing as how i haven posted for over a month.. Up until he went offline at about 9.45 he has been telling me to finish my post.. (so you had better be happy now) but then, just before i finish it, he goes offline.. typical ;)

once again i am now up to date with things.. and next time i will post way before a month is up :D

a month in writing..

Once again i have neglected my blog.. M has been nagging me to do it for a while now but i just havent got round to do it.. and no it's not just an excuse..
I really shouldn't leave this much of a gap between posts.. i start to forget what ive done which isn't particularly good.. and so because of this little flaw, im going to be missing bits out..
School went on as usual through the 2nd half of November, we did mocks in all our subjects, i didnt do particularly well on them.. law and economics were the best, but then i knew i was going to fail maths and german is just wierd..
It was LM's birthday at the end of November and she invited a load of people to pizza hut for a meal, me included :) We all had the happy hour menu.. a started (potato wedges), an individual pizza (chicken thing) and a dessert :) me and LG decided to be different and had a dessert off the main menu, it was a giant cooked cookie with ice cream - it was very yummy :P When everyone had finished eating we started sucking the helium from the balloons that were on the table.. and all the left over balloons were takken home or let loose outside..
On the last wednesday before we broke up for the christmas holiday i had a warwickshire colleges, 5-a-side, girls football tournament. We all had to go if we could as we were taking 2 teams. We were playing at warwick college in moreton morrell which i think specialises in animal courses as there were several stables on site and other animal bits.. We were all set up to play football when we realised that the tournament was indoor and most people didnt have suitable trainers.. Thinking that it could be indoors i had taken trainers, astro turf boots and football boots with me (as well as my converse for while i was at school) and so was able to lend out my astro turf boots which helped. After all the matches with only the final to go, KEGS A team had won every match, and KEGS B team had won, lost and had a draw, which put one team in the final and one out. At full time in the final the score was 2-2 so we had to go to extra time, 4 minutes later each team had scored once, but the ref had disallowed the KEGS goal meaning we lost the match 4-3 on extra time.. In the bus on the way back to school everyone was saying how the ref was blind and that we should have won, but it was not to be..
Thursday was our last proper day of college seeing as we were finishing early on the friday. In german, we were watching films. I had taken a box of celebrations for me, S, T, J and D to share. DH had also provided us with some random germn snacks. Me S and D spent most of the lesson messing around on our phones on fb while trying to decipher what was going on in the film (it was all in german with no subtitles..). In the break between the double period, we asked DH to take some photos of us so we all lined up and DH took 3 photos off different peoples phones. Each photo was exactly the same but different because different people were wearing D and T's santa hats :P.
Friday was a normal day, the only difference was that i had to go in in the morning instead of the afternoon. Friday evening i went to M's house. As usual i had a great time with him. He always makes me smile no matter how im feeling, and i cant think of much that i would rather do than spend time with him :) (I know you are going to read it, so thank you :D).
It was my granddads birthday on the monday, and so we were invited round for lunch on the Sunday. M was also invited, so we spent the day with my family, only stepping out to take a stroll down the road. M declared himself my 'knight in not-so-shining armour because i kept slipping on the ice on the path. When we got back home, M and i kept to ourselves as usual in the playroon while the others did whatever they chose to do..
Id arranged for J to come up on Monday seeing as P was going to leeds for work for the day. And as promised she arrived just after 8 (in the morning). Mother took JL, J and I into Lutterworth so that we could catch a bus that would take us to Leicester. We arrived in Leicester 2 hours after being dropped off in Lutterworth!!! We then spent the day walking round highcross and the city centre, buying last minute christmas presents and other random things. It was dark by the time we got back to Hinckley but we still had to go to the chemists, so the 3 of us walked from the far side of hinckley to the centre of burbage to find out that the chemist didnt have the tablets i needed. When we got home, mother was already here and had started cooking dinner. 30 minutes later and P came to pick up J although he stayed for coffee and a slice of cake that dad had bought while he was supposedly working..
Tuesday and Wednesday were spent just lounging about at home and wrapping christmas presents. On thursday (christmas eve) M came over seeing as i wasnt going to see him for very long on christmas day. We ended up watching a dvd, as we usually do, while we ate and then until he had to go home.
I woke up late on christmas day, which is something i do very rarely. Mum then came in with breakfast and so i ate my breakfast in bed while pondering which stocking filler to open first. Then JL started pounding on the wall between our rooms and calling me to go into his room. Before i actually got up, he had pounded the wall several times, shouted me 3 times and texted me. eventually i got up, picked up my presents and went into his room where i climbed into his bed (with some annoyed muttering from him) and opened the stocking fillers :) i recieved the traditional orange and £1 and also harry potter 6 and some bath stuff :) when we went downstairs the 4 of us went and sat in the lounge to open the presents that we had under the tree. My main presents were a micro hi-fi component system for my ipod, a radley handbag, some charms for my bracelet, a ring, a ds game and some clothes. i was also given more bath stuff, chocolate, and some writing pads that match my school bag. Dad took me to M's house on the way to pick up my grandparents, where i opened my present from him (the clothes) and he opened his present(s) from me. It was very funny watching him do his, as they were in a box that was filled with polystyrene beans :P When i got home all the family was there and mum was finishing off dinner. We all sat down and ate our starters and the retired to the lounge to open the remaining presents before we had our main meal. Me and US were the only people to finish the whole plate of food.

Good Times

Last week was halloween. But thats obvious.. Me and J came up with an idea of what to do for halloween, so me J, A and R all ended up going round to M's house because none of us were particularly bothered about doing anything fancy. The 5 of us played on the wii all night and ate pizza. It was a good night. M had asked me to take gh4 so i took the game my guitars and the microphone. When A saw the microphone he insisted that he used it, so in turns we had A J R and M all wailing into it..
The week was usual for me, school, homework and hanging around with friends :) but that changed on friday.. On friday when i came home after school i had to blitz the playroom and conservatory for my birthday party on saturday :D The conservatory was done quite quickly with just a few odd jobs to do on saturday but i did not bother with the playroom..
Saturday came and so me mum and dad cracked on with the tidying. At 9.45 a man came to fit a new carpet in the dining room which paused the cleaning. By 10.40 the house was clean and everything had been put away that was not in its correct place. Also JM and AW had arrived which was good :) JM and AW helped with the last few bits of preparing, including getting mattresses out the loft for people who were staying over :) Me JM and AW took a walk down to balloonatiks to get some balloons for the party - we were sent a very long way round to the shop and so it took a long time.. When we got back mum and dad had gone out to do food shopping.. we sat down and blew up the balloons and scattered them through the conservatory and playroom.
M and J came over at 4.30 just before my parents arrived with the food. The 6 of us then started properly setting up, including hanging lights, cooking food and putting sweets in bowls around the place. It was all systems go and everyone was moving very quickly. When everything was done, the boys went on guitar hero and me and JM went to get dressed ready for the party. As people started to arrive we turned off the wii and sat around talking. When everyone was here we moved to the conservatory turned on the music and the party really started. People helped themselves to food and drinks and i went around taking photos :P Nobody knew everyone who was going other than me, but everyone seemed to get on well enough :) A slowish song came on the ipod and me and jo did a kind of slow dance to it - was funny :P then i put 'a little piece of heaven' on and me and M danced as he promised :D Some of the others thought it was a strange choice of song but they didnt understand the significance of it :P
By 11 o clock there were 6 of us left, Me M JM AW JH and E, they were the people staying over :) The 6 of us moved to the playroom and watched the 'moulin rouge'. M ended up falling asleep on me even though he said he wasnt going to.. We finally did go to bed at about 2.30 although us girls stayed awake talking for a while :D
When i woke up on sunday, the others girls were still asleep so i went to see if the boys were up and ended up lying in bed with M talking to him and AW. Eventually we all went downstairs and i was able to open my presents :) I got a load of chocolate, a charm for my bracelet, slippers, pj's, 'where's wally' underwear, a book, a digital photoframe and a load of otherstuff as well as a load of £'s :) We had breakfast and then AW JM and E had to go. Me M and JH sat around talking until JH got picked up.
M had a race in the afternoon so dad took us to the track. JB came in and said happy birthday and we stood talking while M was racing :) M won!! he came first in both races :) and is now the 'anti-clockwise champion 09' :D MB was not happy, i dont think he was over the bumping from the last race, and apparently he doesnt like loosing.. But M deserved it :) JB brought us back to my house after the race and once again my parents were out so the 2 of us just messed around. My grandparents came over at 5.30 for dinner but me and M were going to Millennium fields to see the firework display :) it was very cold but the fireworks were good and the best thing was that i was with M :) We got back to my house had dinner with my family, talked for a bit, put some photos on my digital photo frame and then had to take M home.
It was a good weekend and i enjoyed it thoroughly :) The people who went to the party have said that they had a good time :) and i hope they did :)


That is me up to date again so..
..until next time

Brighton

So its not been 6 days but that dont matter because its been less and i would have forgotten what has happened today if i left it much later..
We went to Epsom today to see J seeing as we have not seen him since half way through the summer holidays. Dad made me get up at 5 'o' cloick so that we could get down here in good time, it was horrible :( By the time we left home it was quite light so i was reading one of J's books all the way down here. We got to J's house said hello sat talking for about 5 minutes and then we all got in the car and dad drove us all to Brighton. It's been a while since ive been to the seaside, i suppose you could say the last time was when i was in Iceland but that don't really count. When we came out of the car park we headed away from the sea front and into The Lanes to do some random shopping. There were lots of jewellery shops in a very small area.. Eventually we were out of The Lanes and on normal streets with bigger shops around including a shopping centre. We went in but didnt get very far because J wanted to go to a vintage clothes shop. So we got directions to this shop and found our way onto a very busy side street that was lined all the way down with shops and cafes. As we made our way along i pointed out a few shops that i wanted to go into when we had been to the vintage shop. After stopping and asking for directions again we found the shop. It was more a warehouse crammed with row upon row of old clothes, including fancy dress costumes such as goofy, fred flinstone and big bird. J didnt find anything worth buying.. we went back to the shop i had pointed out and went to explore, in reality it was a very small section in a very big shop. I managed to find a hoodie that i liked so bought it and then decided i also liked other things including belts and bags but i didnt have any money and didnt want to owe my parents more than i already do. J was able to find some t-shirts in some of the other shops which he liked so bought them. Dad then took us into a red-indian shop with wind pipes and charms in it. While in there, i found a very nice leather jacket that i tried on. It fit and i liked it a lot and the sales guy even lowered the price for me, but i refused, saying it was still rather expensive and i had nothing to wear with it.. I am not dissapointed with my decision but i have said that i will get one in future. Also on the way back to the car, I made another life mission: to aquire a pair of rockport boots.
Now me mum and dad are sitting in J's room passing the time away while he is at a lecture at uni. We should be going out for dinner later but that is yet to come so obviously i cant write about it yet..

until next time..

6 days later

As you can see by the date and the title, it has been 6 days since my last post. In those 6 days things have actually happened. I think i will now put a post every 6 or 7 days unless something brilliant happens. Anyway, back to the post..
Thursday was as boring as ever, just a normal thursday at school..
Friday however was different. Half term started on friday - the teachers had a teacher training day. So because i was off school, and M had been off all week for half term, i went to his house. D picked me up at about 1.30 and took me to M's. M was at H's house tho, so J went home and picked me up from their house and took me to H's house. It was L's birthday on friday which was why M and J were at H's house. L was very happy and hyper like most 2yr olds are on their birthday. It was funny watching him running up annd down the lounge with his lawnmower that produced bubbles!! M had been put in charge of keeping him entertained which was not a hard thing :) At one point, baby J woke up and started wimpering because he wanted feeding, so while H was making up a bottle for him, J got him out the cot and was just carrying him around the lounge. J then came over to me and asked if i wanted to hold baby J and so she gave him to me. Like all babies who are only about 6 weeks old he could not support his head and so he managed to faceplant my elbow at one point, he was quite sweet tho. When we left H's house we went back to M's and we spent the rest of the day doing whatever we wanted :) in all it was a good day :)

P, one of mine and M's friends asked if me and M would like to go into leicester on saturday so we did. Me and M met P at the clock tower and then spent the rest of the afternoon walking around being the fools that we are :) at one point P had to buy eyeliner for Z. He kept on saying that it was not for him which just made it sound like it was :P when he bought the eyeliner he even told the person behind the counter that it wasnt for him. The person just laughed. M had told me on friday that he was thinking of buying a pair of skinnys and so we spent about 30 minutes looking round for a reasonbly priced pair of skinnys for him. We found some really nice blue ones in topman and after a little persuasion M bought them :) While walking around outside, we saw a stormtrooper. P saw him and said that he had to have a photo of hom and the stormtrooper so he went over, put some money in his charity pot and i took a photo of them. When i got home and went on facebook, the photo was already up :)
Sunday was like a normal sunday for me.. I went to watch M race in the morning and then he came back to mine after. M won the race, he came 4th and 1st leaving him first overall because 2nd place had come 1st and 5th in the races. It means that M is now leading the combined championship by 2 points :D
Yesterday was great :) Me and LN finally arranged to go out after not seeing each other properly for over 6 months. We went into leicester and went to the cinema and did some shopping. At the cinema we saw UP. It wasnt actually as good as i thought it was going to be. everyone has been saying how its absolutely incredible, but it wasnt.. The rest of the day was really good. We caught up on everything that happened to each other in the past couple of months and just generally messed around. I think we iwill be going out again soon but im not sure, depends on what happens in the not too distant future..
I think ill leave it at that, not sure what else i could put anyway :)

write soon (hopefully)

life today

i think i might be getting better at this, this is my second post in 2 days :P
today i had school as usual, i had to be in at 9 which was so un-cool ¬¬ functional skills was as useless as always. Me L and Ke had a good laugh through our frees before break and then law was as good as always :) footie was ok-ish, it was quite boring and very repetitive.
there is not really much i can say at the minute, because not much has actually happened in the past 24 hours.

write soon
