Stranger!

I feel bad.

I have been a stranger for the last few days... isolating myself to the confines of the lounge chair in the corner of the room, or my box shaped excuse for a bedroom, but i must admit it's great to be so care free and really become a part of a really great book. Even if i have been imensly tired as the time passes by so quickly and before i know it, its gone 1am... and i have work in 7 hours... ! My family are greatly supportive of my choice to exclude myself from Tv time, or dinner time, although teased and moaned at for spending all my time reading. I get to into it. That's why i stopped reading, but my impulses wouldn't let me stop, and sure enough i started reading again.... Okay so im on book 3 of 4 so hopefully i will no longer be a stranger by some time next week... not much to blog about else... :)

Enjoy... Happy Reading..
Ruth xoxo

Any book suggestions i leave college this year and as it's final year we leave early actually i leave in 3 weeks, giving me plenty of reading time... oh yeah baby.. :)

Chelmsford&&Saga!!

So I am all back safe and well, although i completly book struck, so to speak. I had my head stuck in a book for the duration of our 5 hour car ride... and for the duration of our 51/2 car ride home, not to mention in the hotel. And im not ashamed in saying it just happens to be the Twilight saga, of the vampire variety. On the 2nd book now. :)

Chelmsford
What can i say a beautiful city, not as big as some others, but not as small as Hereford, it was nice peacefull and the river ran straight through the town centre, beautiful. As we travelled through the quiet streets of this seemingly perfect city it amazed me the things i saw, graveyards in the middle of streets, (and as morbid some people may think it is, or maybe its purely because i am a Herefordian, country girl who grew up travelling the small villages around the main city walking round these chuirches and church yards intreguided by the life these people had and the life they left behind plus its always tottally starnge when you find a relative you didnt know where they were buried, somoething quite wierd about this, but i like it, probably the peace and i like peace) the biggest library i have seen in my life, old couples walking down the streets holding hands, i think the only thing that wierded me out was the HUGE prison that sat right at the end of one of the main streets right into the high street. I think i could really love it there, but there was one thing, when i walked into my hotel room of the lovely travelodge, i am no stranger of the travelodge, but i have never walked into one and felt the way i did today.
As i slung my bag onto the floor and my book onto the small dresser in the corner, i turned and sat on the edge of my bed peering through the door shaped window at the main road and roundabout cross section into Chelmsford, i realised i have never felt so alone in my life, im not one who is alway surrounded by big groups of people, more out of choice then anything, i like the calm, but i have never felt like that, i brought back this new worry of panic and frustration of not being able to get home, not having those small comforts that we all call home, smell, pets, carpets, wallpaper, parents, things we all take for granted i guess..

I guess other than that i had a pretty great time and the university turned out to be truly outstanding offering what i want and more, but now im stuck.. where do i want to live, where will i be happy, where do i want to spend the next, if not more 4 years of my life?

Ipswich or Chelmsford???

Well anyway im so tired and i have work this week, so i think im gonna get some well deserved shut eye or actually what will probably happen is i will get me head stuck in the book again..
Sounds a bit more like me...

My Pedestrian Day!

Okay so since I have found out and learnt more about SGP I have began to realise more about where I live and the people that live here.. and today was a perfect oppurtunity. It was a normal day. Perfect. It wasn't great weather. Perfect. Everyone was doing what they normally do, the same thing everyday. Perfect. My little pedestrian travels started about 20 to 9 when i went for the 9:48 bus to town, for college. Well anyway as the bus pulled in to the station at the shire hall, there was a bus up to the college's already in, I do normally walk, the only thing about today that was different, i got on the college bus. Walking up the hill is so envigourating i swear i feel so thin when i get up it, if i get up it, it's a nightmare. the biggest hill in Hereford city and all 3 college's sit nicely at the top of it, anyway of subject.. I Caught the bus today for the simple reason McFly last night i was aching and i had been battered and bashed around everything hurt, so this lady got of 74 bus same as me and ran to the 72 bus (college bus) the bus drver was not in his little driving booth he was stood on the steps up sorting out the recipt/ticket machine thing. Well anyway i purely had seen this lady bus hopping funnily enough what i was doing, when we were standing outside the bus doors she turned to me. Me a student, ya know the knid that people look at and think, you do nothing all day.. nothing. Well she turned to ME and started talking, I didn't think these people exsisted well not anymore.. but yes she wasn't old middle aged with dark curly hair, she was telling me how she normally gets an early bus however she works with her daughter who had rang her up to bring some things in to work, so she had to get on the later bus, in which i replied with i normally walk, but i cant be bothered today, she then told me she knew how she felt and that getting the bus was a good idea.. A Good idea, she believed me. she should really cause i do, that is the first time this college year i caught the bus up the hill. First. Anyway she believed me, she listened to me, she ad a conversation with me. she didnt even no me, i could be some physcho withddrawn student, okay i know im a loner, but im not a physcho. Anyway this just utterly confimed everything i already knew and reinstated in my head why i love it here, Hereford. And im going to be leaving in september, leaving home.. To a bigger city, with more people, and lots more things going on, how will i cope! So anyway i walked to tesco to go meet my mummy from work, and get some wrapping paper for my friends present (She's 18 tomorrow :) ) anyway and i got to eastholme (this little community area, where they have a community hall, it was slimming world tonight, the library and this is also the place i went to pre-school however the sand pit has been concreted over, and a doctors surgery, dentists and a pharmacist.) yeah and this lady who was in her tesco work uniform was walking through as i was, she smiled at me. She smiled at me. to these people who work at Tesco, you see my mum works at Tesco, my dad works at Tesco and my sister works at Tesco, Apparently i look like Ali my sister so everyone see's me and thinks oh thats Jean and Normans youngest or that's Ali's sister! Yeah that's me, im not Ruth to them, but oh well she smiled at me. And this made me happy. I love Hereford's little community.. I know i may live on the south side, or the 'rough' side, the druggy side, the cheap side, you know kinda like the place where all the poor kids live kinda like chino to the Oc, that sort of thing going on, but we got something else, we have beauty, we have fields and lakes admittidly wherever you go in Hereford there are fields and sheep, but not on your doorstep. I love Hereford, I just hope the people in Ipswich or Chelmsford, or wherever I go, are as friendly, and i can take my own piece of Hereford there with me.. I Love Hereford..

Mcfly @ The Civic

Okay so last night I went to Wolverhampton Civic hall, I went to see McFly, I have actually loved McFly since forever... there music makes me happy and i just want to dance everywhere I go if McFly comes on, on the pod then i just really want to bounce, sing out loud.. I just can't help myself, really can't. So they were absolutley amazing and i loved every single minute of them, it's the 3rd time i have seen McFly live.

1. 30th November 2007 - Birmingham NEC - Greatest hits tour

2. 14th November 2008 - Birmingham NEC - Radio:ACTIVE tour

3. 21st April 2009 - Wolverhampton Civic Hall - Up close.. but this time its personal tour.

Lastnight was all standing as the NEC is all seating even though everyone stands, you have your own dedicated space.. but this is the first time i have seen mcfly full on proper standing, i have seen other bands standing.. i love it. you get so close, so close that you feel a part of their music, you feel like your up their with them, the beat, the sound, the singing, the lyrics, everything goes straight through you and lastnight was no exception, everything was perfect.. I love McFly. I love Music. I Love Live Music. (L)

Clockwise From Top Left. Dougie, Harry, Dougie, Danny. Didn't get a very good one of Tom, he was either to far away or moving (alot!) :)

First Day Back At College..... . 20.4.09

Okay so as it was first day at college, and a boring one at that me and alice thought we would honour the day with some stories, and I thought with alice's kinda permission to blog them here for you all to hear the wonderful adventures inside the heads of us :)
P.s We wrote these at the same time and neither of us new what eachother was writing?

Alice's Story :
There once lived a beautiful but very peculiar little girl. Now this girl had very blue eyes, such eyes like the deepest depths of the ocean. But this girl had the most unlikely of lies. All though this girl had pretty eyes and kept herself quite tidy, she was a, pig farmer. Well this choice of lifestyle was not one that the girl had willingly chosen. This family buisness was handed down from the girls mother and father after they tragically, but alltogether stupidly, killed in a pig stampeed. The apple of this girl's eyes was a surfboarder called, Carlos. There was something very strange about this relationship, if you could call it that, as there were no waves to surf or pigs to farm. Actually in fact, there was no way in which Carlos and the girl could have carried out these lives as they lived in the icy regions of Alaska. The girl and Carlos tried to carry out these lives peacefully as they could. It was made more difficult by the elves who lived next door. The girl and Carlos got married and lived their lives, of pig farmer and surfer.

Ruth's Story :
Once upon a time there lived a family Mum, Dad, Girl and Boy. One day while Girl and Boy were at school Mum and Dad were tradgically killed in The Blue Forest Fire of 62'. Luckily for Boy and Girl their small ivy covered, double fronted cottage survived the forest fire. Blue Forest was not Blue Forest to Boy and Girl anymore, they felt lost without the comfort of Mum and Dad. Mrs Lake who lived down the forest lane had been baking blueberry pie, and had not realised the forest blazing yards from her house. She lived without ever knowing of the great tradegy. Together Boy and Girl walked down the forest lane scanning the miles of the forest florr for any evidence or belongings to prove of their parents tradgic fate, none was to be found. When they got Mrs Lake's small single story cottagee, they walked towards the front door, blue. Knock knock knock! Mrs Lake did not answer, both Boy and Girl walked around the edge of Mrs Lake's garden to her back yard. Mrs Lake! screamed Girl, your here! Yes, replied the frail Mrs Lake. Mum and Dad have gone. Gone where. Gone! Shoutes Boy breaking down into tears, dont worry my dear come and stay with me, Mrs Lake took Boy and Girl into her straw floor kitchen, blueberry pie? Yes please. Replied Boy and Girl as they both took a bite their blue pie. POISON! laughed Mrs Lake Muhahahahaha... Boy and Girl looked at each other Ahhhhhhhhhhhh... JUSTICE NEVER LOSES Screached Mrs Lake loudly pulling of her mask to reveal a big wet nosed, pointy ears and red eyed wolf, she slidded out of the kitchen, locking the door behind her.


Excuse the randomness!!

6 Years 6 Months....

High school in many ways there the best and worst days of your life and these to say the least our exactly like that. As always there is always that one special friend for me it was Chloe Shurmer. Chloe Shurmer, a girl who always smiled she was that one friend who's shoulder was there, she would always but a smile on your face and although she did not know it she was going places she was so clever she knew what she wanted and she knew how to get it, she inspired me and always will. Then there was always the other one the another friend who in your group was always close to you knew everything about everyone and here that person was Stacey Preece, she had stamina she stood up for everything she believed in she was the one whose head was always high she had what no one else had she had voice, she had her own voice and what everyone said about her she would stick up for herself for everyone. Then there is everyone else the Group the clang the people who over the next 5 years would inspire you would share all there secrets with you who in 5 years time will no you better than anyone and probably well maybe better than you even know yourself, these people Rachel Maund a small girl with a rather over sized heart who was willing to take anyone under her wing. Heather Young a amazing and inspiring young lady one who anyone would be happy to have looked up to and be proud of one who is going to make it big and probably not now it. Vicki Rose what can i say she was a joker always ready with something to laugh at she was always there ready to let you laugh with her. Emma Taylor a girl who gave the best hugs and one who was probably much older at heart she had a lot going for her and always would. And to everyone else the most amazing people in the world, thank you.

But further more during my youth there was one person who was always there Jemma Street, Jemma street she was a feisty one she was always laughing she was the one everybody liked the one everybody loved and the one that everyone knew, somehow I was hidden in her shadows but I didn’t mind she was my best friend she cared for me and I cared for I liked being in her shadow I knew I was safe there, until i found friends in all these people and realised for myself that it was only me keeping myself in her shadow and it was only me who could decide to let myself out. But Jemma Street a girl who brawn she had brains she could do things that I don’t think even she believed she could she was extremely independent and I know that one day Jemma street will do something amazing that no one ever has and as a matter of fact she probably already has.

To my other friends who got me through my youth my childhood I will always remember you the girls from st johns Rachel, Emily and Emily you girls were always there you kept me there and too you lot i thanks so dearly you made me feel so welcomed so magic so unique you made me, you girls are the most hearty people that a girl could wish out of a group of girls, you taught me the tricks of trade including how to deal with a certain lady. You girls were there after arguments and many of them you were always there and thank you. 3 people I know who through the last 5 years have gotten me through possibly the hardest thing I may ever do in my life, Emily (Mentioned above) Katie and William, these guys have got me through so much they have tutored me on everything, they have made me laugh, made me cry and everything in-between. With these guys I can share anything and I know they are there, these guys have gotten me through so much and I am pleased to have known them all, they have always been there to ask if everything’s okay, to hug when things are really bad and have been there when I am being so stubborn that it takes some one to hit me across the face and tell me everything’s not as a bad as it looks, I will forever be in their debts thank you for getting me to a place I never would have know, and even if we were so close, we did so well and I know that all of these guys have shared and achieved with me something that I know no-one else ever will. Im immensely proud of you all.

To a dear friend Lauren Davies words cannot describe this girl, she is one of the most influential people in my life she shares with me what not many people do she has passion for music for love for friendship for travel for everything. Without this girl in my life it would not make sense she seems to always be there when there is trouble when im passionate about something and the things is with Lauren instead of pushing it aside she shares that love and that passion with me. She has integrity and passion for everything she does she does everything with her heart way ahead of her head she does things for people because she cares because she wants to and because she loves to. Lauren Davies if you ever meet this girl you are so lucky she is an inspirational girl and one who I am so proud to know and to have known and to look back and think of her, she has helped me when others couldn’t she has got me through dark days and bright days but no matter what she is there, and for this i cannot thank her enough.

But sure enough those horrid days off high school must end some where and your thrown back off course and just as everything made sense in your world suddenly nothing did anymore, home wasn’t home anymore, you didn’t love as much anymore passion was not their and well nor were you, because suddenly all these friendships that you had once believed in had disappeared they had vanished over night without you noticing without you being able to stop them. But two dear friends brought me back down to earth two girls who have to be thanked for getting me back on track for opening my eyes to new possibilities to new friends and new memories to new experiences and new joys to share part of their life with me and for me to share mine with them. These girls were fabulous for two people to be able to bring me back on track to give my life meaning again was simply one of the kindest things tow people may have ever and may ever do for me Alice friary A girl whose heart was to big for her boots whose smile lit up the darkest corners whose laugh was contagious whose humour radiated a room full of energy and light, this girl was so happy go lucky she expressed herself in a way that no one bothered, she was radiant and bright and this is thank her for. Vicky Preece a girl who also had a rather large heart. A girl who was so clever and got me through so many tough days who tutored me about all things college and all things work. Who helped me but who also asked for help. These girls shared with me some of the best things in my life some of the most influential things in my life and really they took it in their strides these girls took me under their wing and to this i am ever grateful. As always college is merely a higher form of high school where kids chose whether they feel need for further education on one subject they particularly feel passionate about me, no childcare its a long story and one that is rather odd, to be honest its actually quite simple I didn’t no what i wanted to do and to be 15 years of age finishing high school and being told that you must now chose what you are going to do for the rest to your lives is a long and gruelling process but for me it never happened this harsh and cruel method that education workers chooses is not fair to us the children who suffer in dead end jobs because we did not know what we wanted to do but know have missed our chances to kids out their who make this decision think long and hard and dont ever think that something is to good for you that something is better than you that you are not good enough cause the truth is you are you can do anything if you put your mind to it, you can do anything you want to, just do it.!

In the last year I have learnt so much more about people and friends. More about the ones I knew and about new people. Vicky Preece who led me to believe she had a huge heart and would instinctively take any one under her wing has now shown her true side of vulnerability and insecurity. These two weaknesses together make her spiteful towards the opportunities to meet new people and to keep old friends close. However through the last year where I have learnt so much more about people and about life and about living all through the confidence of one girl, Alice Friery, some girl who I remember from my pen leaking everywhere at college induction, shy Ruth was present at this. I remember being sat next to Alice who turned up late and decided to sit on my loner table, I had already labelled myself at college, Loner, it’s who I was, its who I knew, I was happy there. Alice Friery over the past 18 months has become my greatest influence she has been there throughout everything and is welcome to picking up phone calls at 3am, she has the passion, along with me, we share so much in common its almost not real, twins separated at birth, everything, we are to alike. We have so much to share with each other and to teach each other about, I am always learning. Alice is someone I have seen grow so much over the past 18 months and im so proud to say I have been there, so proud to have known her. Alice Friery will be a friend for a long time, I almost can’t believe she hasn’t been in my life forever, sometimes I wonder is if she was there, I wonder how my life was complete before, until I realise it wasn’t, Alice was meant to be there, she was meant to be in my life, this is fate… Thankyou.

I live in Hereford, a small city, yes i no you hear the word city and you think wow, that's not small its big, well ill put it this way Hereford has city status because we have a cathedral on other terms Hereford is a town with a cathedral = City. We are a small place surrounded by beautiful untouched, unspoiled Herefordshire country side. Hereford is not served by any major motorways or roads and is limited to how you get here, You can cross county through Herefordshire country side, catch a bus which will also cross country or get a train. Hereford lies on the river wye. Hereford is the home of Bulmers Cider (Apple picking time is always a great one with the lovely smell of apples in the air from the Bulmers Factory), The Bulls, Hereford United Football Club (HUFC). and of course Hereford Cattle (Hence The Bulls.) Although mistaken to be in the country of Wales, I assure Hereford lies in England although only 16 miles from the border of Wales. Hereford Cathedral is home to the Mappa Mundi which dates back to the 13th century although restored in the 20th century (If you don't know what it is research it... NOW!) and also the world famous chained library. Hereford is twined with 2 places Dillenberg - Germany and Vierzon - France. Hereford has a population of 50,400.

Okay so im not brilliantly clever and got some of my facts from wikipedia...

Play Planet =)

As much as I love Hereford, I love being from Hereford, I just love Hereford, im not ashamed to love the place i was born and have grown up. I love it here.!

As I said, as much as I love Hereford, there is not much out here to do were in the middle of know where so unless you fancy a bit of a travel everyday it's shocking.. but there is a new place of amazement... Okay i admit it, it's been here a year and it did kinda' take over a place we already had.. Jungle Mania.. home of the school aged parties.. I had everyone there.. but now we have play planet as Jungle Mania went busttt. :( But play planet.. a massive soft area play place.. with big slides and swings and soft areas, ball pools, outside bikes, waterfights, rope bridges and basketball hoop. Okay it is meant for 0-12 year olds but I don't care... me and Jem took her sister Bonnie (8) and her son Khye (18 months) :) We had so much fun on the BIG slide..

Check out these Pics :)

Baby Slide, Me Bonnie & Khye Me & Khye Going To The Big Slide.

Jemma and Khye On The Ball Swing Me, Khye & Bonnie At The Bottom Of The BIG Slide

Khye In The Ball Pit..

Wow.. Jungle Mania , I forgot about that place, really makes me remember my childhood memories.. ? Ruth's Childhood = Jungle Mania. I think i had every single birthday there between the ages of 3 and 9!!

When you all think about your childhood, where do you remember.?

Ohh.. Thunder.. Thunder.. I Just Heard Thunder! :\

Places You Have Come To Fear The Most!

Okay so i went to my sisters yesterday and only to find my sister's boyfriends dashboard confessional cd stash, who new dashboard wwas one of his all time favourite bands, me too, small world. Anyway so i borrowed 4 albums from him..
1. Dashboard Confessional - Dusk and Summer
2.Dashboard Confessional - The Shade Of Posion Trees
3 Dashboard Confessional -A mark, A Mission A Brand, A Scar
4 Dashboard Confessional -The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most.

The Places you have come to fear the most has always, and will always be one of my favourite songs, let alone my favourite dashboard song. It got me to thinking when i listened to the CD lastnight what and where is the place I fear the most and as silly as it probably sounds is when im sitting im my learner car with my instructor to my left, im scared. I don't look forward to it, this magnificent way of ableing myself to get around and explore this beautiful world outside hereford, i should be enjoying myself i always thought i would look forward to theese tuesdays, but i don't as the song suggest's I FEAR it, I FEAR walking out my front door, I FEAR walking to the car, and I FEAR turning on the engine, wether this is because i completley clash with my instructr i dont know, but i have come to FEAR a place, which in my mind has always been incredibly good to me, to my thoughts, since i can remember i have wanted to get away from this small town, see the world, see the enchantment in the world and explore i have never been one to stay in the compounds of where i meant to be to stay within the lines, be kept in boundries i have always been the one getting mucky and exploring the area, dismissing boundaries and ill admit it occasionaly escaping when i was grounded, that's me, yet this whole new thing which can give me the ability to run out to the drive get in a car and go, im scared.

So where do you fear the most?

17 Again!

Sup... I Mean You Look Like You Can Move :)



Guess where i went to day.. the cinema to see of course 17 again, was so funny, I went with my sister and my best mate who is down from Essex, took a lil girlie road trip to Worcester and a bit of Zac Efron so it wasn't all that bad, who am i kidding it wasn't bad at all.?



Movie = Fab for a Girly Sleepout :)



Walking through the town in Worcester on our way to the car park look what we saw :)

I loved it there sound was raw, but amazing. I was fasinated how 4 guys could make such ggreat music using used water botttles and tubs, made me smile and want to dance and pretened i was drumming, I got a pic which i will upload later as i have lost my adaptor for my phone :(



When we got to the car there was none other than a seagull on the car, a seagull, i had to go shoo it off as Alison and Jemma were being wimps and staying well Back, :)


I can't really wish that i was 17 again because i am, yes i am 17, but only for another 3 months and then it's party on, i guess i'll miss the innocence that comes with being 17 as if your almost niave to the world and all it posseses, but as soon as you turn 18 its like somehow this massive hold comes over you and suddenly your life almost isnt as care free as it used to be, that's what i see, and i like being the young one, although i almost never admit it, actually i have never admitted it. But as soon as July 13 comes there ill be front and centre, front and centre.. I will always be the baby, but somehow i will no longer be the kid, the kid sister, the young one. I will just be Ruth and i guess that's all i can wich for, just to be seen as Ruth.. Me and that's all I am, and it's all i will ever be. Ruth.

Life Through A Pair Of Sunglasses

And the glasses that started this blogg... please welcome them.... (Clap)

They make the world a different place dont you think. It's like when you not wearing glasses your living in the real world, stress of college, family, work and everything you've got on your plates.. but then the sunnies come on and its like a whole new world, like the world isnt such a bad place any more, everything is new, clean, fresh and quiet.. it's like its the world you want to be... and nothing matters anymore.It's like no-one in the world can touch you, your own little bubble.. It's like he worlds not such a scary place anymore!

And everything is perfect!

But the old world is still there. I Love sunglasses.. even if my cousin says 'where do you think you are.. hollywood.'

Lots of Sunny Love

Happy Times

Day 2

Welcome to official day 2 of Easter break wahoo.
now if you saw my (on the move) blog lastninght then you would of seen that i went baby sitting for my gorgeous 6 and a half month old godson, called Finlay, however he had a cold, guess what, now i have a cold... Thanks Fin!

But anyway got another driving lesson today i swear these lessons come al to soon, epecially seen as though i have not been out with my instructor for 2 weeks and a couple of days..!
well no matter what the weather people say on the tele, its a load of rubbish today it was meant to rain, but its lovely and sunny, its absolutley gorgeous out wish i had plans to go out but i don't and i only have 2 and a half hours before i go driving so i need to get in the mood to spend 2 hours with my instructor.! Yay... i mean sometimes i have great lessons and we get on fine and stuff, but then some lessons are absolute bull, and i wonder why i have just paid him for 2 hours of him shouting at me,, and telling me he basically dosen't give 2 hoots.!

Well im watching one tree hill season 4 at the mo. haha.. Lol.! 'I have to go to the nurse im going to be sick.' makes me chuckle.!

So yeah it is now April 7th and its like 12:46pm.. and i have offically done nothing today : Whoops! so yeah not much done today, and probably wont get anything done, i think i might type up my unit 5 assignment im not in the mmod to think but im in the mood to type, so here goes i better finish up and go type up my assignment at leat thats one thing done i guess, lol..

Anyway better shoot.....

Barbecue!!

Hey all.

Lastnight was a pretty random night, my sister and her boyfriend had this rather small 'Family' barbecue basically it was some of Paul's (Sister's Boyfriend) family and me my mum, my dad and my best friend her nan (My mum's best friend) her grandad, her lil' sister and her son. Way out there huh? NOT!

But there were shot's involved oh yes my friend 'Shudazz' 4 in a pack from Tesco, Cool, haha!
I took Apple and Strawberry and the sis' Took Peach and Banoffee' or something along thoose lines. Oh and then i followed it of with a sidekick.. This was after Jemma (My BFF) tried to posion me with her budwieser (Oh yes my friend's she is a beer drinker) I prefer cider myself, lol.

well anyway then as i contined to decorate Khye's (Pronounced Ki) Hair with Pegs, Alison (The Sis) And Jemma made cocktails, i think this one was called Martinana. Or sommat like that, it was basically Martini and pommegrante juice, was horriable, even my aunts concocsion's (Spelling??) at the new year's/eve party were nicer, so i continued to douce my fruity yucky cocktail with lemonade (P.s i may not have told you this, but i HATE lemonade) We all (Me, Jem and Ali,) gave it up very quickly.! Lol..

And i want to clear something up,
1 shout may = 2 units

Sorry i just got rudely interupted by my sister and her boyfriend knocking on the kitchen window, of which i then had to proceed upstairs just to get my key and let them in, oh yes and all they wanted was some float money cuz there going to do a carboot, to get rid of there shit, oh yes my friends they have a 3 bed house and its full to the brim with crap, there is 2 of them, 2 of them... Man!! anyway.. of which paul decided to claim i was tipsy last night uhum.. no i wasn't we had this conversation last night i remember see. then he decided to tell me that when we left at all of half 10, alison scremed my sister's drunk! (Drunk much ali) anyway.. paul then decided to try and switch places, which i go to the carboot and he does nout all day, no way, no way. Im happy here with my laptop and The Oc season 1 DVD. (Oh Yes. I Own Oc season 1!)
Well anyway that's what happened in the short 2 mins they were here, alot huh?

As i was saying before i was interupted,
1 shot = 2 units
hence
3 shot's = 6 units.

I WAS NOT DRUNK MISS ALISON MAY BISHOP!


Love Always

WELCOME HOLIDAYS

It's officially the start of the Easter holiday, a whole 2 weeks of bliss! Not that Easter is my favourite holiday at all because i don't eat eggs, and i don't eat chocolate.. so Easter is always a no, no. I get clothes, perfume or things i need for the festive holiday. But 2 weeks, yay... alot of work though.


Lol, been serching my vids, check out this from last year when our budgie Ivor escaped from his cage.!

Goodbye With All My HOLIDAY Love. Go Mad. xoxox

Back Home!

As much as i enjoy travelling and i love travelling alot, can't wait to drive then i can travel on my own, but that's different you know i absolutley love riding shotgun, maybe that's why i never wanted to drive in the first place. But i love looking around taking it all in lapping it all up, having a good time, enjoy the weather the views and that buzz you get when your going down the motorway at 80 mile a hour, ya know overtaking all the cargo lorrys. I Love it.

As much as i love it

There is nothing like home, the smell when you walk through the door, it will always be home. Family who didn't come with you, i will miss this when i go to uni, but somehow i think i will enjoy it... actually i know i will enjoy, i will enjoy it lots..
