Clairvoyance

Last night was pretty amazing, I did get back a little late though and so couldn't find the energy to write on here then.
The lady was very good, she kept getting people correct as well.
She didn't really point certain people out, until she got to my grandad.
The lady said that there was a man, poking him in the back (my great-grandad with his walking stick), telling him to put himself forward more and recognise his abilities to get the credit he deserves (exactly like my grandad...). She also said that this man liked carpentry (true) and that next to him was a little lady with cataracts (my great nan).
They also said in the next few months there would be celebration with champagne...(possibly over my gcse's?)
It was so great and I really want to have a private reading one day now.
Peace out for now

Revision

I find it so hard to concentrate today that revision is almost completely impossible.
I keep thinking about Alistair and when is he coming home and how much I miss him etc. I mean I was meant to start my R.E. revision like two hours ago and I am still sat here without even so much as looking at the sheets.

I have to do some at some point though.
I am not failing my exams.

So that is my mid-way through the year resolution;
WORK HARD.

Tonight I am going to a clairvoyance evening, which I am a little nervous about but it should be okay I hope... I will write tomorrow (or later depending when I get back) and let you know how I got on with regards to that.

Peace out for now!

Nearly The End Of Another Week.

Yet again haven't written in a while but I will only update you on the most interesting things that have happened recently.

Yesterday was the best day this week.
Jack came round mine about 9am and we hung out for a couple hours and took a lot of photos on the webcam (I will upload those later). We caught the train from March station to Peterborough at about 11 and met everyone else at Peterborough station.
There was Terri, Steph, Spectrum, Barsby, his friend Ed and Joe (Harper).
We walked across to Queensgate shopping centre and spent a while there, looking around, taking photos (to come in another post) and just being us.
Later on we walked to the cinema where we met Karl and Emma and we went to watch 21. It was okay I suppose but I dont think I will buy the dvd haha.
We then walked to Mcdonalds for tea and then to the train station again. We didn't leave until half past 8! Long day!
The only down side to the day was that I managed to injure myself. I sliced the skin off of my finger and bruised it really badly, it is currently wrapped up in a bandage!

Today is my little brother's 5th birthday! Gone very quickly!
I hadn't seen him all day until I picked him up from school and took him to his Grandma and Grandad's for more presents.
When we got home I gave him mine and he completely freaked because I had bought him Buzz Lightyear haha!
Then we had a little buffet thing for tea. It was really nice. His birthday party with his friends is on Tuesday after school and I think we are all going to Colchester Zoo for his birthday this weekend.

Alistair is staying down in the south of the country, towards Bristol, since Wednesday. He went to visit Longleat Safari Park today and apparently has bought me and my little brother a present! (:
I miss him lots at the moment and he isn't coming back until Saturday. It's such a shame, but at least he is enjoying himself.

Anyway this is the longest post ever.
So peace out for now.

My Prom Dress




What A Busy Week!

I can't believe how long it has been since I last wrote on here. Five days goes so fast when you are busy! Anyway quick update on my little world since I last wrote.

Thursday - Didn't actually do anything other than revision that day, so not a lot to update you on.
Friday - Went shopping in Peterborough with my mum and my nan. We bought my prom dress and shoes to match (picture to come in one of the next posts). It is really pretty though and I cannot wait until my prom!
Saturday - Went to Kings Lynn with Alistair and his friends (Joe, Ross, Aaron, Timmie, Hailey and Hayley). Had pizza hut for lunch and went shopping in the afternoon. Joe and I slept over at Alistair's house (didn't get to sleep until about 3am!). Pictures to come.
Sunday - Joe went home (all the way back down to Kent!) at lunch time and I stayed round Alistairs all day. Was originally meant to be going home at about nine but got invited to stay round that night again and so did!
Today - I spent it with Alistair again, got home about half past three and now I am here!

Peace out for now!

Alistair's Birthday Today!

I stayed round Ali's last night, in his bed, while he camped out on Ben's bedroom floor haha. Was really fun though, he taught me how to play Scrabble (and I won!) as I never had before. We talked lots and watched movies and Bill Bailey on dvd, he's hilarious! It was a great day.
Today we woke up and had breakfast, Alistair opened his presents and things and we visited his grandparents. Played Scrabble again (I won AGAIN!) and talked, had a cuddle etc. It was so great to be with him.
I can't believe my amazing boyfriend is 17 (:
It means someone other than our parents can chauffeur us around now haha (:
On a side note, it has also been a year since Ali and I met!
So cute (:
I hope everyone else has been having fun!
Peace out for now

Spalding

Just got back from Spalding. I went with my mother and my little brother, Sam.
Collected Alistair's birthday present and got various other bits for his birthday, hunted around charity shops for no apparent reason and then came home which is where I am now.
Wrapped Alistair's present as it will be the only chance I get (i'm going round his tomorrow and not coming home until late Wednesday night) before his birthday.
Anyway so now I plan to continue making Powerpoint Presentations on Physics (GAG!!!) for revision, fun.

Peace out for now

35 Days Until Study Leave!

Terrified

Yesterday my uncle went missing for most of the day. It was a Sunday, and normally he does go to the pub or the shop near where we live at some point around dinner time.
He left about 1pm, give or take, and when it got to 8pm everyone was starting to get worried.
My Grandma decided to go out looking for him and went to a village near here (where he normally goes to the pub). She eventually found him in his house (he's sold it but still technically owns it as of yet).
He was face down at the bottom of the stairs, unconscious. When she came back home and told me I was so scared, I had to text Alistair to get some comfort from somewhere.
She went back with my Grandad because she couldn't move him otherwise and they phoned the ambulance.
Luckily he was still alive and okay, but extremely bruised and cut and in pain, they think he has broken his ribs.
Currently he is still in bed and finding it extremely difficult to walk and things.
I have to say I have never been more scared in my life and it really hit home when I thought we were going to lose him.
It's really taught me not to take anyone or anything for granted.
Peace out for now

Saturday

Yesterday was a bit amazing tbh! Spent the whole day with my wonderful boyfriend again (:

We watched "The Longest Yard" cuddled up together on his bed, me in his hoodie because I was cold. It was so nice (:
We made dinner together because no-one was home and laughed and messed around as always.
It was just like old times when we first started going out together. I loved that.

Today I haven't actually been awake that long really, but have been round my Grandma's for breakfast and am currently babysitting my brother because my parents have disappeared somewhere. My brother is a bit lovely though and pretty well behaved for a four year old (nearly five!). Now I am planning on revising a bit today as I have Science mocks after the holiday and then my real GCSE's a little after that. Argh!

Anyway if anything else happens that is interesting I will update this later!

Peace out for now

Going Out

I'm off to Alistair's house today, be back later but probably not on here so may have to update this tomorrow.

I've been thinking about Owin and Harriet's party next week, do you think I should go?
Any suggestions what to dress up as on the theme of "Superheroes and Villains"?
Argh that is the only problem I have. A costume. It can be original though, doesn't even have to be from a movie!
I'm looking forward to next week (:
Anyway hope everyone has a good day today, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Peace out for now

Two Weeks Off!

Starting today I have two weeks off school! Yay!

Half day at school today, was a bit pointless but went into town afterwards with Alistair and his mum and she bought us lunch.
I bought Ali's birthday present (his birthday is next Wednesday - the 9th). I hope he will like it, I have got to go and pick it up on Monday.
After that I went back to Ali's house where we spent the rest of the afternoon until I got picked up about 7pm. So yeah my day was really nice in that respect!

Also today, Charlotte and I went to speak to Mr Baldwin about changing our A-levels next year (yes I know ALREADY lol).
Charlotte is now doing; Geography, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology.
& I am now doing; English Literature, History, French and Psychology.
Should be fun, I am actually really looking forward to starting sixth form but I know I am gonna miss my other friends so much!

Anyway, I better go and either sleep or revise because my GCSE's are in like 3 weeks. Not too happy about that but what can you do eh?!

Peace out for now

38 Days To Study Leave!

Thursday, 3 April 2008

Badminton

Sorry about not writing last night, was extremely busy and didn't get home until about 10pm by which time I was not in the mood to write a blog!

Yesterday was okay as far as school is, not great lessons but what can you do?!
After school, I went home on the bus with Alistair and we hung out for a bit, ate, then went to badminton. Was pretty good tbh!
We haven't been in about three or four weeks due to me being ill, there being matches, fashion show rehearsals and Ali being away on a Geography field trip. So it was nice to be with him again in the middle of the week!

Today was not too bad either, non-uniform days always make school seem slightly better and town leave at lunch was great because I got to spend even more time with Ali!
Patrick (a friend a met on the French Exchange last year) asked my best friend, Charlotte out today which was really sweet, so they're now together (:
Not a lot else happened except for planning the two weeks holidays (which start at lunchtime tomorrow) and doing work for exams. So I shall blog again later if there is anything interesting more to say.

Peace out for now

Dieting

Oh yeah and starting today (was meant to be Sunday haha) I am going to be on a diet. Ergh. But I really want to look nice for my prom on July 11th. So I have a little while to lose about a stone. Should be a piece of (Weight Watchers) cake (:

Peace out for now

Cooking

So today I had cookery again. Damnnn. As much as I love Food Tech I just can't be bothered with cooking at the moment. The muffins I made were really nice though and very easy to make.

Banana & Chocolate Chip Muffins (:

Makes 11 - 12 (Actually made 10 big ones for me aha)

10oz (280g) plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large well ripened bananas
4oz (110g) fine white granulated sugar
1 egg beaten with a fork
2-3 fl oz (60-90 mls) milk or water (I used milk)
3 fl oz (90ml) vegetable oil or 3oz (85g) butter, melted (I used butter)
2-3 oz (60-85g) plain chocolate chips

1. Prepare muffin cases. Preheat oven to 375-400 F (190 - 200 C) for a conventional oven, Gas mark 5- 6.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarb of soda, salt and chocolate chips.
3. In another bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly with a potato masher. Stir in sugar, egg, milk/water and oil/butter.
4. Pour all of the wet ingredients into dry. Stir just until batter is evenly mixed but still lumpy. No dry flour should be visible.
5. Spoon the mixture into tins and bake for 20 - 25 mins or until the tops are lightly browned and spring back when pressed gently

Enjoy (:
