I didn't get through... : (

I didn't make it any further than the final for Beijing but I'm not surprised the competition was high. All were managers and only two crew, some of the managers were even salaried. I gave it ago so at least i tried!!

I got a beautiful Olympic T-shirt...which i put on back to front to start with....how stupid did I feel!!! lol. And a 1GB ipod shuffle which is personalised with crew Olympic competition 24/11/07 which I think is a nice touch.

I'm getting excited now!!! (about everything!!)

It is very very nearly Christmas!! I'm so very excited!! Christmas songs have started playing at work and yesterday the came to put up the decorations!!! WOOHOO!!! Although I'm sure by the time Christmas actually gets here I will be sick to death of the songs as at the minute they are playing every 3 or 4 songs as it gets closer it'll be every other one and on a 10 hour shift I am bound to hear the same song a Million times!!

The final is approaching quickly......I'm getting a little nervous but I am still excited at the same time. We had to send a picture in of ourselves in and it took me hours to decide which one to send it. I'm not sure why I am going to meet them on Saturday! I will let you all know how it goes so keep your fingers crossed for me!

I went to 'Meadowhell' last night....i hate shopping at the best times never mind at Christmas! However i managed to get a few bits and bobs. Got Darrell's birthday present which I am quite impressed by! I will post a pic of it when he's had it, wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.

Right off to college to learn something about common law!!?? I have about a million assignments on common law so if anybody knows anything about it HELP!!!!

I'm through to the final!! woohoo

Remember me telling you all I'd applied to go work for McDonald's in the Olympic Village next year? Well today I had an e-mail confirming I'd been pick for the final!! OMG! Out of all the people that applied only 16 got picked which all go for the trails in two weeks time at Leicester. From that only 6 people will get a place! I can't believe I even got short listed! If I don't make it any further at least I gave it ago. We will work a station for an hour and be assessed on : Job knowledge, Performance, Personality and attitude. I think for the next two weeks I will be reading my QRG (quality reference guide) This is like the McBible. I'm really pleased I have made it this far....although I didn't really do a lot apart from fill in an application form.

I've been to the gym today first time in ages and I mean ages! I've decided I am going to be committed and go at least twice a week. I really wanna lose a couple of stone then I'll be happy....well probably not 'happy' but happier about the way I look.

Oh I am so very excited about Christmas! Mum and Dad want a list writing but I'm too excited to think what I want! Luckily I have chosen all the worst shifts at wok over Christmas to make sure i am tired enough to sleep.....last year it worked...well ok only until about 5.30am!! I know what you are all thinking this woman is 20 years old....I only become this childish at Christmas....honestly. Come on my whole family (yes this may embarrass you all) knock on the living room door saying "izzy wizzy lets get busy" before we are allowed in the living room! You're never to old to do things like that!!

Right I'm off to bed...very tired after my day of confusing study ...common law anyone know anything about it?

My luck needs to change!!

This last week has been horrendous! This all revolves around work...it sucks ass! Thursday night I was doing the close as I have very high standards...well as high as people who work for McDonald's have lol. We were having an operations review which is extremely important to us as a store. well one staff member went home sick, the other to hospital in an ambulance...had blue lights and everything! Which finally left me with one crew member, myself and a s**t load of work to do. Needless to say I started work at 2pm Thursday and finally clocked out at 7am Friday!!

Then with less than 4 hours sleep I went back with high spirits. Although I looked like I'd been smack in the face with my puffy eyes. Finished work at 8ish, birthday get together for mum (happy 95th!) and back to work at 4.30am! I LOVE MY JOB! Well actually there must be something about it or else i still wouldn't be there would I?

My work load at college is ever more growing so better get a shift on! However on a tiny positive note I finally finished unpacking my clothes...although there is still some stuff boxed up this is a move in the right direction!!

The count down to Christmas is upon us! Must say I am a little excited!

Sing star



OMG where has this year gone? I can't believe it seems like two minutes since this time last year. I'm sure the older you get the faster everything flies past you...how scary! I will be 21 in like 9 weeks.....it only feels like yesterday when i was dying to be 16!!!


I started Christmas shopping yesterday and to be fair it was a pretty poor outing. I hate shopping anyway and i went with a lad from work and it was even harder!! Although I did buy myself a new sing star game for the playstation 2. Last year for my birthday Samantha bought me the microphones and games for it. If you have never heard of it or played you have to sing the song and try and hit all the notes. It grades you on your tone and gives you an overall rating like tone deaf or lead singer. I must admit we are all a lot better now and get quite competitive about it. The new CD is RnB which I'm not really a fan of but got some well good songs on. Harriet thinks herself a bit of a lead singer i think! I have 80's hits which is the best and mum and dad know all the words. Mum is pretty good at it but Dad is just funny....he gets well into it. I get excited and start dancing , plus it puts everyone else off!!

Right I am now going to sort my room out as I still have not out anything back in place since i came back all those weeks ago. Had to come home from work today poorly so need to take it easy! : (
