Me, myself and I

Well it's been two months since my last blog and tbh my life is boring. I have however moved from Leeds back to my loving family home, with all of my stuff. Mt dad had to put extra storage though I seemed to have accumulated quite a lot of clothes and books and shoes whilst I have been living away. I don't think they were very happy about it.


Good news :) I am off to the University of Hull in September to do Zoology as planned and I shall be living with my dearest Chloe, Tom, Iona and Rachel. Speaking of Chloe, the little one has gone and walked in my footsteps and made herself her own little blog, she talks about everyday things atm and is a happy little read: http://lifeaccordingtochlo.blogspot.com/.


I have also been transferred to Worksop Sainsbury's for the summer and atm it is very boring, I don't get to do all the stuff that i used to, I just sit on a till or go on the kiosk, no little Sainsbury's family to talk to just me, myself and I. Hopefully it will get better though, I had my first friend request from a Worksopper today though so my presence seems to be working.


Ooooohhh oooohhh I don't know if I mentioned this but tomorrow I shall be on a train to Leeds to stay at Katy's and then I shall be off to Holland on Monday so you will get a massive blog about that next weekend :D

See you then (Y)

Work de Durk

Well as I am sat here thinking that I should really be getting on with my work I have decided to have a little update :)


At the moment I am still cracking on with my assignments I have just finished my Applied Ecology seminar which hopefully my tutor will email me back and go 'Yes, that is amazing, don't make any changes'.....doubtful he will probably email me back the morning of my seminar and scare the shizzle out of me and then I will have a panicing 2/3 hours to fix it all before I present it. Anyways now I have done that I only have 4 assignments (well 3 and a half) and 2 exams to go. The assignment side I'm ok with as its just writing stuff up really but the exam side I haven't even started revising and had a realisation and panic attack last night, so I have decided to get this practical portfolio out of the way and then start revising as well as doing my last 3 assignments :D


Work wise I have met my new team leader and they are very grateful that I want to work full time, me too as student finance have slightly screwed me over (will talk about this later on). They have me working on kiosk and tills but Danny's Mum Kerry says that if they haven't totally filled my hours then she will quite happily take me :). Plus soon I can sort out my duel storing at Hull soon :D


Talking of Hull, the house is all signed for and the advance has been paid. Just waiting for my copy now. We also have a new member to the clan as Roisin has decided she no longer lives with us we now have a lovely lad called Tom, who I get on quite well with :). Bad news about Hull is that I didn't get the job at the Deep but I think I will keep trying. Also student finance has decided not to help me this year with tuition fees etc but they are going to give me everything for my 2nd and 3rd year, so this year they are giving me £5000 maintanence loan which will mostly cover my tuition fees and some rent, hence why I have to work full time over the summer, but everything should work out ok and god knows I can barely wait to move in :D.


Lastly I have finally booked tickets for Holland and shall be of on my short jollies in August (Y) so exciting. Also I have half term next week so I shall be having a bite to eat with Mat-chu at the weekend and going shopping with Katy in the week to get some bits for my cousins wedding!! So apart from working loads I should have quite a nice time off :)


Thank god things are starting to look up :D

End of Year Stresses

April, the wonderful month I get have off college and always decide to eff all with it! Well that's was a little bit of a lie but I haven't done anything much to do with college :P. I have basically just been sorting out next year, I have visited a house in Hull that I have decided to take with Chloe and 3 of her friends, all I need to do is pay the advance tomorrow and send everything off, it would have been done a lot sooner if we hadn't of had all these bank holidays :/. I have also applied for a job at The Deep as a guide (fingers crossed!) and got a transfer to a Sainsbury's back at home......aaarrrhhhhhh home :D.


I've been home quite a lot in these holidays tbh its been quite nice at times :) I've also been able to see Mat-chu, Verity and Tessalina (lovely besties) and soon be able to see Katy Roscoe, eeeekkkk!! Oooo I am also going to Holland in the summer to see my dearest Katy, so I've been sorting out my passport too, which is late again due to the bank holidays :/


Student finance have again been crap again this year, as I have done everything they ask and then they sent me an email saying 'You have an online offer' I log on and they are wanting me to send more evidence. I ring them up to make sure this is correct and they are like 'Yes your application has been processed and we have no recollection of having your evidence that you sent 2 years ago so your going to have to give it us again. Also your parents need to sned thier P60s in.' More and more evidence, I'm really sick of it. So now I have to wait for my passport to get here which may be another 2 weeks due to bank holidays, so I can tell them I am who I am and then make sure my parents do have to send their evidence in. Job after job after job. They think that I have nothing better to do, obviously I do!!!!!!!!!


So yeah apart from all the things above yet to do I also have to revise for my exams, volunteer another 30 hours and complete 9 assignments in 6 weeks, YAY! O and I have to pack..........

I ♥ being a student (Y)

Arrrgggghhhhhh!!!!

Its April, the sun is out, its nearly Easter, we have loads of bank holidays to look forward to so why am I so down.......

Well its mostly because my sweetheart of a boyfriend has gone to Lanzorate for the week, I know I know your all going to be like 'a week, that's nothing, what are you going on about dear?' but you must remember I spend every second possible with that boy and now all I have is 2 texts a day from him, 3 if I'm lucky and I can't sleep when I'm by myself, its terrible. He's out there getting a tan, sunbathing, scuba diving having a nice time and I'm here in England, yes the sun is out but I have a hell of a load of work to do and tea to cook, my room to sort out and now (here's the best part) my car only just scraped a pass on it's MOT........SCRAPED!!!!!! So I have to look for a new car now, it's bye bye for Sydney I'm afraid :'(. On top of all this I have no money and don't get any till the 22nd, so no outings for me either I can only just get back to Leeds with what I have. Thank god Danny is back on Monday. Oh Danny..........

Good part of up to yet is that I got to see my Tessalina Thumbalina :) She came and stayed with me for a bit so I wouldn't be in the flat by myself. We went shopping and to Yo Sushi which was very nice, I'd like to take Danny there when he gets back actually. We also had a Indian takeaway and watched 127 hours which was surprisingly good, I was always wondering how they were going to drag out the story for over an hour and I must say I was quite impressed :) I also have been able to come home for a few days and spend time with my family which has been quite nice, especially when there not in ;) I joke I joke! But its partly nice because I get the house to myself and the animals and I can swan about and do whatever I need to do!!!

To end on an high note: Before Daniel went away I went to a Biological Sciences, University of Hull open day and I loved it, all the time I was there I was planning and scheming everything so that's where I shall be off to in September, by myself, to study Zoology........HOOOORRRAAAHHHH!!!!

Mad as March

Oh yes its that time again, the end of another month!!!!! I can blog away and rant about nonsense till my hearts content :)

Well this month has again had its ups and downs and at the moment it's still the same which I shall ramble on about later. Firstly there was my 20th birthday (yes I am an old mofo now) and it was lovely! My parents and Aunty Mandy came up and they had bout me this amazing fellow:

Lotso, my strawberry smelling bear ♥

I also got a lovely mouse from my housemates, its a Logitech MX Performance which I am still very protective of.  Some garlic and herb sauce, my fav, money towards my iPhone 4, toiletries, a nemo and obviously more money :D So a very productive birthday. We went to the Red Hot World Buffet which was amazing, the museum and then to the Old Bar. On my actual birthday me and a few friends went bowling and then to Frankie and Benny's, I then finished the day off watching Tangled which my beloved Daniel ♥

Later on in the month came mine and Daniel's 3 year anniversary, 3 years, sometimes I can't quite believe and then others it feels like a lifetime but I still love him so. For that day we went to the Royal Armouries and Jamie's Italian however I pulled a massive strop because he made me walk all day and my feet had blister and I was tired but Daniel being Daniel stuck it out.

During March I also came home to see my lovely Nanna and would you believe she is 92.......92!!!!!! and she hasn't aged a bit since I last saw her a couple of years ago, I miss my Nanna ♥

The bad parts have been assignments, the nice weather and being able to go out, revision, tidying the flat etc etc but I guess on this occasion the good out ways the bad and March was an excellent month compared to the one I'm having atm, its been pretty disheartening but I shall tell you more about that on my next post as obviously you want to know and will keep reading my glorious spits and spats (Y)

Love and Fun

Well as seen as the month of February has quickly gone I thought I would blog about it before I can't remember anything plus it will distract me from doing work for a bit.


Obviously as it was February we had the wonderful day that is Valentines, which I love but unfortunately it was the same as every other Valentines. We woke up swapped presents, I went to do admin at the council, he went uni, we came home, went to Pizza Hut and the to the cinema. Nothing unexpected, nothing special and me planning as per usual. Now Danny will be reading this and thinking 'Wow, she is so ungrateful' but I'm not, I am just saying that sometime surprises and Danny planning something instead of me would be nice. But tbh it was still a nice relaxing day with my lover 8)

I ♥ You Daniel Shaw

Right, what else have I done in this joyous month, well I went to The Deep with college, I got to do a talk at a hospital about the council, I had a lovely free facial at Molton Brown where I got one of Danny's anniversary presents from (hushhush), I got to see my Tessalina Thumbalina :D, I got to go home and be spoilt by my Mummy. Actually one of the things we did which many of you maybe scared of is.........

.....we had our feet sucked by fish :)

I actually quite enjoyed it, it was very ticklish at first but once you got used to it and started to relax it was wonderful and made my feet really nice and smooth!

Also this month I have obviously been working, at college, at Leeds City Council, having exams, working on assignments (not so much haha) etc etc so pretty much a good month as I think I have got that work, play ratio much better :D

Next month (this month) I have my birthday, mine and Danny's anniversary, exam results, sorting out university and student finance, open days, and the usual day to day stuff (Y) Exciting or what?          

EEEEEKKKKKKKK!
