The dramatic day out with the family 3/1/2011

Time with with my family is never dull.
Going out for lunch with my mum, nan and auntie. Turn up and order food, my auntie goes to get a table and then after i told my mum what i wanted i went to get sauces and cutlery and went to sit with my auntie... in which when i got to the table she had also took a load of sauces as well, so our table ended up looking like this...

A load of vinegar, a load of ketchup and salad cream... me and my auntie attempted to hide it all with our drinks, but it didn't quite work as the waitress face when she brought over the hot drinks was in amazement. In which we then saw her re-stock the sauces. Then the food came, though my nan's and aunties food took a little bit longer, in which when it did come, my auntie had ordered salad with hers... however there was no salad, so she complained to the waitress, in which the waitress seemed a bit narked about, as we were sitting far far away from where the food gets brought out from, even though there were many tables we could have choose from. So five minutes later she came back out with a MASSIVE plate of salad!! In which in the end my auntie only ate the cucumbers from it, and made me eat the rest of it, with the help of the tons of salad cream we had stocked up on (Y)
However that was not all... all of a sudden my nan started choking on something, which made a tad of a scene with nearly knocking over the table of food, in which me and my auntie both at same time had just taken a sip of our drink, and as the table was knocked went to laugh in which we both started choking as well, and then as i turned to try and get out of my chair i smashed my head into the wall next to me, which made my nan and auntie laugh more causing them to choke more... while all this was happening, the cafe we were in was quiet  except our coughing and laughing and my mum was just sitting there laughing. (Y) After the coughing incident my nan went to the loo, and as she came back she was telling us about this couple who were in her way and as she passed them made a comment or somewhat.. then my auntie started to bitch about them, in which my nan looked at her and went "SHHHHHH" and then whispered "that's them over there" and they had been sitting behind us and had heard my auntie bitching about them! (Good one Mand :P) LOL

After our dramatic lunch, I went and hung out with my auntie, in which we looked at very very old embarrassing pictures, in which i am going to say, i looked like a complete TROLL!! and not being vain and all but im sooooo glad i don't look like that anymore!! Seriously, it looked like i wore a tent as clothing!! Shame on my mum for letting me look like that! LOL
Then we decided to take photos and hope that in 10years time we don't look back on them and start crying with laughter because of how bad we looked!! As well as that, i showed my auntie a site in where i edit my pictures, which we had fun with....

Summary of 2010 and Hopes for 2011 anyone?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011


Summary of 2010

January 2010 - 
Not much really occurred within this month.. was mainly just exams, and year 12 re-takes... So im going to skip January as a summary because from as much as i can remember nothing happened!! :) Moving on...


February 2010 -
This month  was actually pretty good. Joined the gym with Chanita, and Angela. Which proved that i actually enjoy working out, especially when after being able to relax in the sauna or steam room. As well as the laughs had when there, especially with Chanita when we added some new workouts to our pretty intense routine, and then showing Angela them. Oh and how can i not forgot the Abs Attack class that me and Chanita were talked into going, which lets say i have not laughed so much in my whole life, my abs hurt so much the next day!! Miss the treadmills, the cross trainer, the bikes and the weights that killed but was gooood!! Good times!! As well as that the start of many crazy parties begun.. 


March 2010 - 
Hmmmm... March... in 2010... was mainly full of messing around in sixth form, having laughs, walking round city with mainly Chanita, and Gym. Oh and i also got my first ever job working at Clinton Cards, which gave me something to do, even though i bunked off sixth form a bit to go in and do shifts, but it was worth it :) Was not a bad month, but yeah not much interesting happened. Just alot of laughs :) 


April 2010 - 
Was the same as March... Except within April, went on an amazing residential with Youth Cabinet, even though in the room i was staying in with Jess and Sally, there were scary massive pregnant spiders, it was still fun :) With the footballers to check out at lunch ;) But yeah April 2010... it had a few minor bumps and downs, but it was still good :)


May 2010 - 
Was the start of exams! Even though i only had one re-take (AS Music Technology) in May, in which me Chanita and Chloe, revised like MAD before the exam, and still remember Mikey trying to help us by singing Bon Jovi - livin on a prayer. And the old examiner woman falling asleep in the exam room = LOL 
If i can remember as well, it was lush weather in May :) Which was a plus, was a stressful month with revising for exams to come and having an exam.


June 2010 -  
June was a month of stress!!! had so many exams to revise for, coursework to get in, and my A2 Music Technology exam coming up, as well as my sisters 15th. The only good thing about June was the weather was amazing, was sunny yet had a breeze as well as the end of sixth form, :D


July 2010 - 
Was a taster of what was about to come! The weather was amazing, Chilled out most days, saw friends nearly every day, the world cup was on, which meant parties, had my black tag grading which i passed :D and Prodigy gig, which even though i got so bruised from all the mosh pits i randomly ended up in, stinking like beer and passing out due to heat and getting smacked over the head by a bottle and missing the start of prodigy (Sorry Luke :P) it was the BEST GIG EVER!!!! 


August 2010 - 
The start to a new world!! Turned 18 AT LAST!!! Watched everyone else turn 18, and turning down invites to go out clubbing, that i finally was able to go out and PARTY!! My 18th was incredible and love all my friends and family who made it so amazing, on my actual birthday (7th) had a garden party, in which the garage was decorated with lights, banners and pictures of me as a baby, BBQ was burning away and the sun was shinning, ring of fire was played, and hide and seek in the dark and drunk was crazy :) Then the next day went to TGI's and clubbing which OMG... WOW is all i have to say, met people who i used to know and became the group i went out with :) As well as that happening in August, also went to London with Chanita and Ryan which was a long day but was fun :) Then results day.... THE MOST STRESSFUL DAY EVER!!! woke up at 6am, got onto UCAS, and there i sat for 3 hours constantly refreshing the page and waiting to see if i had got into Uni.... then at about 8.30ish... there it was... "You have been accepted into the University of Derby" I literally RAN down the stairs i exclaimed in excitement to my mum "I DID IT! I DID IT!! I GOT IN!!!!!" Then at 10am went into Sixth form with Chanita to pick up results... in which was not what i expected.... Me and Chanita both looked at each other and laughed then started to cry.... Had done sooooo SHIT!!! I was so confused on how i had got into Uni, as i did not have the requirements that they had wanted.... I rung my mum up to tell her and she came to see me, we then spoke to the head of the sixth form, who really annoyed me, kept on congratulating me for all the work i had done in youth cabinet, etc... and was not focussing on the main point until i looked at him and was like "You are not listing to me! What am i suppose to do?" Thats when he saw i was not messing around, he looked at the results and said that he "did not understand how i got how i got, considering my predicted grades" and in his words "outstanding reference" He then mentioned, "maybe they have made a mistake, i mean you could stay on and re-take, ignore it and go off to the uni, or call them up, but bear in the mind, if they have made a mistake, they may reject you" It was a risk i had to consider, go off to Uni in hope that it was not a mistake, or call them up and ask them... I decided the only way i would feel secure (which if you don't know me, feeling secure is a BIG thing i have to feel) So i rang UCAS first... explaining my situation and asking if it has happened before, they said they had not heard of my situation before... and said to ring the Uni. So i did... It took me half an hour to get through... and when i did i felt so sick, i kept playing the conversation in my head... I explained to them, that i have got a place at the Uni, but i had reached no where the requirements they wanted, and had they made a mistake... It was silent... the woman on the other end, asked for my name, i felt like hanging up, i didnt wanna know, but i said my name, and she put me on hold, those few mins felt like years had passed... She came back... this was it... she said the University was well aware of my grades, and that they too were confused on how i had achieved so low, but i had definitely got a place, as they had looked back onto my GCSE's, my predicted grades, my Reference and Personal Statement, and accepted me on those terms. I thought reading that i had been accepted was the best feeling ever, but that, was the best feeling i had felt. To think exams i had done 3-4 years ago, a reference and a personal statement got me into Uni. I went home and had a BIG glass of Champagne. That night i went out clubbing and got very, very, very DRUNK!!! and stayed out until 6am thanks to Bethany :P And as soon as Chanita finally turned 18 everything was going so well :)
August a month of partying!!! and meeting old new friends, such as Sean, Charlie, Bethany and Roberto. (Y)


September 2010 - 
Well September was the month were clubbing picked up, and partied as much as i could, saw as many friends as i could. Then on the 19th of September everything i started i left, and moved to Derby. I had only turned 18 4 weeks ago and was already moving out... felt so un-real. I didn't feel that sad when moving out, more excited. The car was packed full of boxes, and as i turned the key into the door, my new life begun. Was a long day, the parents car had broken down, so they stayed longer than expected whilst waiting for the AA to come, and then when they were leaving, Ryan showed up to see me and say goodbye as he had been in Nottingham, was so weird seeing my Parents and my best friend from first school drive away... Then that month was partying, getting punched in the face, getting freshers flu, trips to the walk in centre, starting lectures and meeting new people, such as the amazing people in FLAT 10C :)


October 2010 -
Starting to get into a routine, and still meeting new people :) But yeah October was not any different from 19th September onwards, was just getting used to life on my own, handing in first assignment and partying! 


November 2010 -
Such a horrible month,  the November blues hit me, and it hit me hard! started to want to go home, and the thoughts of failing my A-levels hit me, and i started to think that i shouldn't be at Uni. My Dad said he would bring me home if i wanted, where as my Mum told me to get up and sort it out. Which i thank her for, because it did get better. Got first assignment back and got a B- and everything that had happened before with exams, i just didn't care, and Uni started to become fun and got good :)


December 2010 -
Went home for the first weekend in December, and was a crazy weekend with babysitting the gorgeous baby cousin, and gaming with the goober Chanita :) Then on the 12th the amazing Superhero party for Bens birthday in the legendary flat 10C Love all you guys :) Finished first ever semester on the 17th. Then on the 18th i went home for Christmas... which even though a month ago i wanted to go home, when the day came i didn't want to go. But now i am home, i am starting to get used to being home, and i know that when the day comes its going to be hard to say goodbye to the parents and MK again... but it shall all be okay :) 
Christmas was good this year, not any arguments = a plus and new year's eve was good, was not hectic, but was fine, because i HATE new year eve,  worst day of the year i think! 


So to summarise 2010 i think that for me, its been eventful, obviously some months i haven't said much... but some things are left unsaid and i know what went on and how good and how bad things got, and overall 2010 was a learning curve and was epic :) 




Expectations of 2011:


To have fun as usual, to not think so much into things, because doing that just causes downs, and having someone special to spend and share the year with! Please? 


Follow for some amazing posts that are yet un-known :)

Christmas!!! 2010

Christmas. It means something different for everyone, some people it is all about Jesus being born, some people it is about spending time with family, for some its about presents and festive food, and some it doesn't mean anything, just another day in the year.
Christmas. Holds many traditions for people. Such as Putting up the tree, in which in my family, my Dad would put the tree up in the room and then my Mum and me will decorate it, and even though my Mum says to me "yeah just put it anywhere you want" as soon as ive done a bit of a tree she will always move things and always has to approve of it, and then at the end my little sister will put the angel on the top. Even the build up has a tradition, of films with the family every day with hot lunches and Christmas lights. Christmas eve, is usually go out for dinner and then cinema... but this year was different in which we just stayed in, which in my view was a tad strange... but traditions have to change at some point. 
Christmas day is always the same though, even though the little sister is getting older she will still wake up at a un-natural hour and then come bouncing into my bedroom waking me up, in which i will make her lie with me for an extra hour before letting her loose to wake up the parents, then the whole morning she is the boss, opening presents in turn, then after getting ready, and whilst food is being prepared family arrive, and then dinner is served which takes up to about 4-5 hours. After that family always gathers round to watch Christmas specials and then play games, until bed. Boxing day is always my favourite day though. 
Going to Uncles, seeing the whole family, having a lush lunch and playing games, then for dinner the left over turkey, baked beans and mash :) YUM!!! 


Christmas to me, is the best holiday, just filled with films, snuggling up in blankets, and chilling out :) 
And you get presents :)

 Always need a Christmas outfit!! 
In previous years its usually every single piece of clothing that i got given for Christmas, and some years its been tutu and fairy wings! Its the only day as well as my birthday and fancy dress parties i can dress up :D 

However i left my fairy wings and tutu in Derbyland so my outfit this year consisted of a dress i was brought, red tights for the festive season, the hat and cardigan because it was COLD!! as well as the lush slippers i got!! :) 

Christmas edition 2010

 a

There are sooo many pictures that were taken, that i couldn't have them all on the post! So 12 festive photos of the amazing Christmas that i had are all that are needed :)
The first one, is us all with presents that are ready to be open :O
Then there is the one that shows the LOVE that goes round the household <3
And then the famous tree, that without it, well it just wouldn't feel like Christmas now would it :)




Got any traditions of your own... then comment below :)




Follow? Its Christmas :)

Just don't see the big deal.

For those who don't know me as well, will think that this post is going to be very BIG headed, but believe me its not... this post is more of a rant, and to question why boys do such things...
Feel quite strange posting about this... but it does play on my mind and confuses me...

What is the big deal with me....

I just don't understand, how without even trying, boys come and tell me things such as "your gorgeous" and  "I've always had a thing for you but been to shy to say" and more things such as that... now I dunno if anyone has noticed... but I don't dress on a day to day basis in a way that is in my eyes amazing... take this an example...

Me on the left, in a baggy hoody and what you cant see is some normal blue sort of baggy jeans, compared to this girl who is wearing skirts, tights and a small jacket.... i don't tend to dress girlie ... I'm more of a jeans, hoody and trainer girl.... however I am NOT a tomboy, very much girlie.. just don't dress it. But I still don't see how that even though I don't dress as girlie as the girl on the right, but still guys are constantly staring, eyeing me up and asking for my number and name... WHY????




I'm not complaining, its good to know that even without trying I am still what people class as "attractive" and all that, but at time it gets to the point, where realise that it scares guys that I actually want to be with, off.
Its even more annoying, having the wrong guys thinking your amazing and that they will do anything for you (don't ask why..) and not having the guy that I would actually much rather think that I am amazing, not think it.

So yeah random and weird post... but
I am not that amazing, just average me :)

Why does it need a title? :)

18th December 2010 - longest time i have EVER spent not moving on the motor way!
Driving back home to Milton Keynes for Christmas, was going well, not many cars and was making good time.. which was good because just wanted to get home, even though was in a weird emotional mood (which annoyed me because i didnt know why) and then got to Northamptonshire, and traffic picked up... was getting icey.... then literally went under a bridge and BANG there was TONS of snow!!! Knee deep and a stand still!!
There sat in the same position 9miles away from Milton Keynes for 2hours!!! As well as that the petrol was running low.... I think sitting in that car would have been more bearable if my dad wasnt getting annoyed by not being able to move and then moaning about the people that were getting out of the cars, and going fast... and blah blah blah.... eventually we got to Milton Keynes, and no lie it was like a scene from a Zombie film!! There was abandoned cars and buses, lorry's that had crashed into vans and bus stops, random people walking the streets and roads, and cars skidding everywhere! 
From just coming from a quiet icey Derby to this... it was crazy!!!!
Decided to get pizza, and me and the Dad walked round to get it, which he always makes me chuckle because even though im 18, he still treats me as though i am 5 years old and have never seen or walked in snow in my life, even though it was me making sure he didn't fall! :) 
That night when laying in my bed (which is SOOOOO much comfier and bouncy than my Derby bed) i realised how strange it is to be home!!! and how bloody cold my house is!!


Anyway only a small post this time!!

End of first ever semester

Friday, the last day of the first semester here at uni (2010) and lets just say its been interesting, and i have learnt a lot. It seems like only last week i found out i was accepted into uni, and only feels like yesterday that my parents drove me all the way up here, and left me to start a life on my own. These 3 years are going to FLY by!
To be honest, it was hard at the start... 
Making friends, getting to know people, getting into a routine and for half of the semester i was constantly ill, mainly because of stress, lack of sleep and feeling homesick... which was un-cool and there were many times i would call up my Dad asking to come home, because i know he would come pick me up any time, unlike my Mum who would tell me to get a grip and carry on going... which in my best interests she is right.. 
But yeah things are good now... I thought this post would be a lot longer than its turning out to be... but hey ho :) 
Met some AMAZING people!!! Learnt how to do things i never knew you had to do... Realised that not sleeping is not good.... and realised that without the constant nagging of my parents things don't get done, and that ends bad!! 


Even though i promised myself and all the AMAZING friends i had before i went to Uni that i would NEVER change, and i will still be the same person when i come back... but i think i have broke that promise... because i have changed... and i know i have.. Which in a way i am glad about, because some of the changes are good... but then im quite sad that i have, because i liked who i was, and i don't want to loose people close to me because of this change thing!! 


So going home for a whole month is going to be ODD..... not having to worry about cooking and getting up for lectures is going to be INCREDIBLE!! But living under my parents rules is going to be the odd part!! But it shall be good to get away from everything... because it comes to a point where i just cant deal with all this s**t! 


:) Yeah anyway... sorry for this real crap post! but am a tad tired.... 
If its your first time reading my blog.... do follow me! :) and read the other posts because they are better :) 

Weekend back home :) Goobering, drinks, learning about babies

As being at University all the way up in Derby, every now and then its nice to go back home for the weekend. However each time is as crazy as the last. As it is only a weekend... which only really consists of one full day, there are many things to do, and many people to see. But this weekend was the BEST yet :) and blog worthy :) 


3/12/2010


My train left at 1.06 and it was a CRAZY rush to get onto it!
I woke up very late (10am), and still had to wash my hair, do my washing, pack and go to Sainsburys to get some money out..
Got dressed at (11am) and went down to put the washing on... that would take half an hour.
So decided to walk to Sainsburys to get some money out for taxi to station, i would walk it, but the paths were so icy it would have taken ages to get there!! Vicky (flat mate) needed to go Sainsburys as well so she decided to come with me.... BUT what would usually take us 10mins there and back took us up to 40mins!!! Due to Vicky not wanting to fall, it did make me giggle how funny she was, fussing over the ice, when she didn't even fall :P Oh and also the cash point wasn't working so i had to buy something to get cash back.. so the time i got back it was 11.40... cutting time here... so i put my washing in the dryer... 50mins that would take... i begun to realise there was a high risk of missing the train :O 
Decided to skip washing my hair and i would do that when i got home, i would just stick a hat on.. so that cut time... then i packed as much as i could whilst waiting for the dryer.... it was 12.45 now i had 15mins to get my washing back to my room put it away, get in the taxi and get on the train!!! Eek!!! I ran down got my washing out, ran up back to my room.. 12.50... called a taxi... "ten minutes" the lady said!!! It takes 5 mins to get to the station... at this point i was panicking!! I put as much as the washing away as i could, and left the rest on the bed, grabbed my suitcase and with the help of Vicky lugged it down the stairs. Lucky the taxi was there!! 12.56.... in the taxi.... got to the station 1.02... payed the taxi man, got out the taxi, grabbed my suitcase and got into the station... 1.04.... looked for where my train would be.... ran up the stairs... 1.05.... ran down the stairs to the platform... 1.06 there was the train... the doors where closing... i ran, not caring if i fell or not... luckily the driver saw me and waited... so so lucky, i managed to get on the train :) 1.07 it left! 
Now back in Derbyland it was icey, snowy and COLD!! So i dressed fairly warm.... got back to Milton Keynes.... NOTHING!!! no snow.... no ice!!! nothing!! I looked like a complete PLEB! but anyway got back home saw the cats <3 and the family, went food shopping with the Mum <3 and the the best friend Ryan came round and we went to the pub for a drink which was goooooood :D 

Yeah Ryan looks a bit scared in this picture... but he was having a good time :) 


4/12/2010


Chanita came round. :) 
So the Goober was suppose to come at 11.... but because of her little mum having to go to loads of places first she didn't actually get here until about 12!! She knocked on the door and as soon as i answered it we both started laughing!! :D The Goobs were back!! (Y) We then walked to tescos and brought chicken burgers (Chanitas frav :P) crisps and fizzy drink!! For our full action packed day!!..... Of GAMING!! 
We got back to mine, cooked lunch, and sat and watched...... Spongebob (Yeah we are cool of course) Then we munched on the crisps.... which were a bit toooo spicy for little ChanBan and she was well lets say pre-occupied for a while ;) (She knows what i mean) After that we went onto the Wii and begun.... playing MARIO. Now this game, always gets me and Chanita... because its the new super mario brothers game, in where we are both playing on the SAME screen... and have to work together!! Which to begin with me and Chanita aren't that good at.... but after a few times repeating a level... over.... and over..... and over..... and over.... with 30 continues we get there.... So we defeat fish, Ghosts, and Squids that look like Ghosts... and we get to the Boss.... this is where it goes soooo wrong!!! Chanita, "how do we defeat him?" Me, "You jump on him and then avoid the shell" Chanita "okay" But no she gets killed straight away... and then i die... we try again... i died and yell "Don't die... wait till you pop me" but no she dies.... We try once again... and we both die... and then the most funny thing happens... Its chanita and the boss... Chanita yells "What do i do" I yell "JUMP ON HIM! JUMP ON HIM"...... so she belly flops Bowser... and its Gameover!!! We both stare at the TV with our mouths open... i then look at her... and we both burst out laughing!!! We decided then not to play any more and to play a few round of MarioKart before she went and met her boyfriend. 
Then later that evening. I went and babysat my 4month  old cousin William.. who is sooo cute bless him... However i never realised i know NOTHING about babies. Just as my uncle and auntie were leaving to go out.. he woke up and started crying and i was like ummm okayy... i let him have a bottle which made him stop crying... but as it neared the end i begun to worry about the crying... which he did... so i decided to do what i always see people do... i stood up with him in my arms and bounced up and down singing the first song that game to my head which was the... "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" So here i am, with a baby in my arms, bouncing up and down singing, "In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle, the lion sleeps tonight, Awimba way Awimba way" This actually calmed him down, then he was more interested in the tv, and everytime i moved him away he would moan and try and hit me.. so i was like meeer okayy... I then realised this little baby... hated simon cowell, loved Louie, hated men on tv but loved women! Oh and he loves Simply Red.! Was a good evening :)


5/12/2010
