Graduation!!

Last week I graduated from my HNC course. To be honest I didn't really think it was a massive thing but according to the tutors and some parents it was! we had the whole thing, cap and gown.....millions of pics..(which I hate!!) But lets not forget the white piece of pipe with a ribbon tied round it as our scroll! Classy hey!

I had a nice evening with my friends from the course, which I must say I have grown pretty close too over the past year and a half. Probably couldn't have done it without all the crazy cups of tea and the occasional dinner time trip to the pub!

I haven't written anything of here for ages as a) I'm rubbish and b) I'm mega busy, with work, college and looking after friends!! (which I enjoy of course!) So next week I am going to have a least one night to myself!

zeebrugge

I really enjoyed my few days away.....although we didn't go to Rotterdam...We went to check in at Hull to be told we were booked on the ferry to Zeebrugge and I had NO idea where this was! I talked to a dew people to try and get us moved onto the Rotterdam ferry but we had to pay extra money and be down graded into a worse cabin! So we decided we'd go to Zeebrugge even though we didn't know where it was.

It's quite lucky we went on that boat as i ended up winning £100 on the bingo!! woohoo! I wasn't going t play as bingo is for old people and then i ended up winning. I split the money with Toni so we both had a bit of extra spending money which was nice.

The sea was soooooooooooo rough. I didn't sleep a wink the first night as it was throwing us around so much. The second night was even worse but i was that tired i had no choice but to sleep a little. All day Saturday when i got back i felt as if i was still on the sea. It's a really weird feeling.

We spent the day in Brugge, which is a gorgeous place. It reminded my a little of York. All the streets are cobbled and there are loads on grand buildings. We went on a tour of the area on a horse and carriage and then walked around for what seemed like hours as it was pretty cold.

There was, no word of a lie, 30 chocolate shops! It was amazing, so many different types and in any shape you could ever want or need them in. I bought all the boys at work naked ladies. I bought gifts for people but I must say I don't have the taste for it I still prefer Dairy Milk!!

I am without a car today..... : ( it failed it's MOT on brakes so gone to have it sorted. So i couldn't get to college.....secretly i planned it like this! So i am meant to be writing my assignment but as you can tell I'm not getting very far with it!!

Catch up

What a mad few weeks it has been!! Firstly I'd like to say thanks for all my birthday wishes...i am now old and all people have been saying is it goes down hill from now!?! God I hope not. I received many gifts and money which I will be putting towards a holiday....which i really need right now!! Toni has paid for me and her to go on a small cruise to Rotterdam at the end of the month which I'm really looking forward too. You're only actually in Rotterdam for about 7 or 8 hours and spend the rest of the time at sea and sleeping between ports which to me sounds like something different to do. I am always going on about how I'm a little too grown up and won't let my hair down so this is something random which will hopefully be fun. So THANK YOU TONI!!! X

Apart from the madness of my birthday I have worked a million hours and also got lots and lots of college work to get to grips with. Plus I've been applying for any job I have the qualifications for so please keep your fingers crossed for me. As i am in two minds of whether or not to go back to uni as Swansea really shattered my dreams so maybe i will go in sept maybe i won't depends what comes up between now and then.

I bought my bestest mate Jason tickets to go and see High School Musical on ice for his Birthday as he likes the movies. I must say...it was FANTASTIC! Ok it was for children but i really enjoyed myself, the skating was great the acting and singing was good too.

I have lots more to say but I have soooooo much to do. I have had the same head ache for about 2 weeks now which is really starting to suck ass. I have even been wearing my glasses to work...thats how bad it is!! So i will catch up again with everyone is a few days.

Merry 2008!

Well Happy New year to anyone I haven't already wished it too. A very uneventful evening had by a very tired me. Worked lates new years eve, managed to have 3 malibu and orange before deciding i was too old for late nights early mornings as was back to work in the AM. Although the sight of 8 greeny off looking crew members reminded me why i went to bed without getting wasted!! hahaha.

Tomorrow is my first day off since Christmas but i decided that doesn't count as everyone had it off so today has been my 13th shift in a row and man my feet ache. I am contemplating whether to stay in bed ALL day and sleep, or go shopping and spend my hard earned cash?!

I'm 21 in less than a week now...WOOHOO so i need to find clothes to wear for the night on the town. Plus its Dad's birthday on Sunday so need to get him a present.

Harriet is a little monkey although a lovely little one, she had millions of presents so it is crazy working out what to play with. She had a little play kitchen with the pots and pans etc, a shopping trolley and till so she has taken over the real kitchen, bringing us cups of tea! She now knows how to say 'Yes please' and says it at the right time, with a big smile on her face...how sweet. I can't wait until she can really speak!!!

I love Santa!

I think I'm going to marry Santa Clause. I had a great Christmas and can't believe it is all over already....although not long till my 21st now!!

I got a Sat Nav and a tent as my main presents so i think this calls for a road trip!! I'm well excited.....all i have to do is get time off work...and maybe wait till the summer for some warmer weather.

I was just as excited as any other year, i worked lates on Christmas eve until about 10.30 in the hope this would tire me out so i could sleep. How wrong was I!!?? Me and Samantha who are meant to be the grown up ones didn't sleep at all but Darrell managed alright!

Christmas dinner was yummy as always and is topped off with a glass of wine. A few glasses and many giggles later more presents were opened...Santa really was a busy boy. Darrell got University Challenge game so we played that for a while.....I WON!!!!

Then straight back to work for me, which sucks ass! So in the whole festive period i managed to have Christmas day off! Anybody would think I had a really important job where people couldn't survive without me but no it's just burgers and chips!!

Aberdeen

It's freezing, but not as cold as Nottingham?? Whats that about, my dad said it was minus 2 yesterday and it was roughly 4 degrees here but i swear more like minus 19!!! Samantha and I erected Gran's Christmas tree, which doesn't look that bad!

The only person i have completed Christmas shopping for is Harriet, I had all her stuff in October but then decided to give it too her so then i had to go shopping again. Well thanks to Charlotte I didn't even leave the house, she found a trolley and basket with shopping so i have got her that. I can't believe how she has grown. She is a proper little madam now!

So tomorrow take form of shopping....i HATE shopping. As we have flown up here we have to be careful of weights to take things back with us. If i don't finish shopping tomorrow everyone is having money as I'm back to college on Wednesday and back to work until Christmas day then! So the pressure is really on!! arrgghhh

Off to visit Grannie!!

Me and Samantha are off to Aberdeen tomorrow to see my grandparents. We are flying...i know seems pretty lazy, but believe it or not for both of us to fly return for 6 days, it is cheaper than it would be to drive!!! Samantha has never been on a plane before so this will be interesting!! he he he.

If i have time to pack properly i am planning on taking my laptop so i can do some of the million essays i have pilling up for college! ugh! So i may keep you updated while I'm away.

Finally getting over this stupid glands thing, feeling 1000 times better than a couple of days ago. I think the rest is just what i need, no work!! woo hoo, with my sick days and now the hol i will have had nearly 2 weeks off!!
