cosmo is a'callin!

well i did the 2nd day of the carboot and ended up getting a total of £110 over the 2 days! was dead chuffed! more of my bags sold too which i was happy about! also the weather was perfect so lots of people were out and i got a bit more of a tan! last night i went to my belated birthday and welcome home party at michelles house. it was really nice and i got to catch up with maria, keira and sj, some of my mates from high school who i dont get to see very often. we had a good time and reminisced about the good ol' days and all our old teachers! hehe! tonight i had a suprise call from everyone at cosmo. unfortunately i was in the hottub when they called so missed them, but they left a very noisey but funny voicemail! it was becca and em's last night in cosmo before coming home. cant believe theyre still out there! so jealous! chuh! managed to chat to seamus and michael later on though, i really enjoyed the conversations with them, argh i want another night in cosmo

one man's junk is another man's treasure.

just got back from the car boot. i made about £50 once id taken off the price of the stall and the float! im dead chuffed! we'll probably do it again tomorrow cos we still have quite a bit left. my bags didnt sell very well i had 43 of them on display and only sold 2! :-( at least i still get to keep them! haha! it was a fun moring, the only problem was waking up at 6am to get there and set up in time for the public. who goes to a car boot at 7:30am?! stay in bed! its a sunday for goodness sake! went to lufbra on friday. had so much fun, it was rew, sanj, damith and ced and after a visit to the orange tree and newshouse we ended up in echos rock night! my knees are feeling it again though, i really need to learn to not wear my platform sandles when moshing! *ouch!* i refused to leave untill they played nelly the elephant at 3am (its tradition!)! my mates all left me on the dancefloor and walked out when that was played, charming!! chuh! i didnt care, i was having

25 bags need a good home!

ive not yet mastered the technique of making a proper link but i really had to post this website! it made me laugh so much! check it out! http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2005/fainting-goats-p1.php finally finished sorting my room and garage, ive ended up throwing out 25 handbags AND some shoes! argh! whats happening to me! well i say thrown out, im selling them at a car boot on sunday and when i see them all spread out ill probably take half or more of them back! no, i must be strong! my room is so big, both at home and uni without all the rubbish that i'd collected over the years! theres so much stuff we might end up going to 2 car boots! hopefully we'll sell quite alot cos i need money!! off out again to lufbra tonight with the woodlands crew! well 2 of them anyway, the others were busy! looking forward to seeing sanj and rew, not seen them since i got back. partay once more! hehe. dads got a day off work today so we are going out to national trust pla

oompa loompa doo ba di doo, ive got another puzzle for you......

why do they have to ruin a perfectly good movie (willy wonka and the chocolate factory incase u hadnt guessed!) with a remake?! went to see it the other day and i wasnt that impressed, the original was one of my all time favourite movies though! hmm! the factory wasnt magical enough it was all computerised. i could rant for quite a while but im not going to, ill just leave it at that! humph!! this week ive met some really random people! i bumped into a guy that was my 'boyfriend' when i was in infant school and we had a quick catch up and gonna meet up again in the next few weeks! plus i saw 2 other guys from my junior school ive not seen since i was 11 and a guy that used to live next door to my gran and ive not seen him since i was about 12! wonder who else ill meet?! been clearing out my room for the last few days. got rid of soooo much stuff PLUS some bags! wow! never ever thought id do that! argh! whats wrong with me?! doing a big carboot at the weekend, h

physically an adult, mentally its debatable!

well im finally 21 ! hasnt really seemed like my birthday but then again it never does! its the same with christmas, you get all excited for the actual day then when it comes its just like an ordinary day!! not having a party or anything cos ive been seeing all my mates in smaller groups to catch up with although ive still not seen everyone yet. its just been mum, dad and me today which was nice. quite relaxing. we went to borders and ikea!! (not very exciting but hey im getting old now so gotta do older, more boring, less exciting activities!!) hehe! yesterday anna and claire came over, had a really good giggle and catch up. had a bbq and went in the hottub after going to watch barwell carnival. it was a bit of a let down this year not many floats, either that or im getting to old to enjoy it as much!! (ill be all grouchy and shout at little kids next!! :-S) not really much more to add. but oh yeah....... ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! hehe (incase u didnt get that message!) xxx

just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down......

mum and dad came back today so i had to make sure that all my rubbish was actually cleared away ready for their arrival! i really wanted julie andrews to turn up and help me with the cleaning by clicking her fingers and everything clearing itself! good old mary poppins, i love that film! but alas she was no where in sight so i had to do it all myself! chuh! i can actually see my carpet, first time since being back!! oops! sorted out all my photos ready to put them into albums too. i hadnt realised quite HOW many i had! i knew it was alot! :-S i've edited the pile so that itll only fill about 100 volumes now! :-P (bet everyone reading this cant wait to meet up with me when ive finished them! :-S) hehe! had a good night last night in lufbra again. met up with lizzibeth, becky, laura, amiee (lauras mate) and paul. it rained really badly but we still trudged our way round the bars looking like drowned rats all the same! i was the only one to have brought an umbrella w

byker, byker, byker, grove yeah! ahha ahha ahha.....

cant sleep so thought id inform you of what ive been up to! had a nice few days in sunderland and newcastle. did a bit of walking, some sightseeing and visited quite a few shops (especially the metro centre!)! not sure what was wrong with me but i didnt find anything i liked in topshop *shock gasp* but i saw lots of shoes that i wanted in schuh (oh dear!). maybe my conscience is finally kicking in and my purse strings are tightening?! one thing i did still love about being up north was the geordie accent! mmm! hehe! too many chavs but if you closed your eyes they all sounded great! came home today. had a very smooth journey - caught the train at newcastle, when i got to derby the next one was waiting, then the same happened in leicester and when i walked from hinckley station to get the bus that was also waiting! not bad eh?! i was then supposed to blitz my room cos it was a tip ready for michelle to stay for the night, instead i got distracted on the internet and ended up piling eve

echos - lufbra or london standard?! you decide!!

well im back in barwell now but yet again only a brief stop, im off up north tomorrow to visit my aunty untill wednesday! lufbra was ace! got my room ready it looks very indian now! sam and i went for an indian meal (my first proper one since getting back, it was very good, had peshwari nan! mmmmm!). i got a drunken phone call from seamus who was in cosmo with nat, em and becca, got to chat to danny too which was nice! rikster, anna and andy came about 9pmish and we had quite a quiet night in catching up with all the gossip. on saturday went into the town and found out that lufbra now has a topshop AND pizza hut! wow! rfa, dave and ben came in the afternoon and we debated over whether to risk a bbq with the weather being as dodgy as it was. there a quick break in the clouds so we all rushed up to sainos and got the food and booze etc and lit the bbq. it then rained again but not for long so we carried on cooking. john, dan and aiden (dans housemate) came over at 11pm and w

ou est le hot water?!

well im back but not for long, im off to lufbra again tomorrow morning to start my 21st birthday celebrations (although im not really 21 untill the 21st but ah well need time to celebrate!!) paris was really good fun apart from there being no hot water for a day and a bit in our hotel, but seeing as im used to cold showers in bommasandra it didnt bother me all that much! also the food was very expensive the words "c'est un rip off" could be heard quite a few times at various restaurants but appart from that we did all we wanted to see and shopped as much as our bags would allow! (luckily i was just travelling with a backpack so it could have been alot worse!). we saw the eiffel tower (it sparkles at 10pm and 11pm which was nice!), notre dame, arc de triomphe, walked down the Champs Élysée, etc but the best bit was going to the moulin rouge! ooh lala! it was brill although they didnt do much of the cancan which was a shame, plus you only got one glass of champagne co

wedges + moshing = very sore knee!

oops! had a very good night last night. wasnt really expecting to do anything at all then got a phone call from paul saying he was back in lufbra along with a few of the guys and did i wanna come out? of course i leapt at the chance and so ended up at rock night in echos jumping around like a loony! trouble was that i had my big wedge sandles on and while i was running, hopping and jumping i didnt feel anything, but now that its the next day, im in a little bit of pain!! ah well i had a great time and that was what mattered! i needed to get out rather than watching the latest eviction on big brother!! tomorrow mum and i are off down to london to visit my aunty and then the 3 of us plus my cousin becky are off to paris! i dont stick around long! should be quite a nice trip only trouble is it means i have to start packing again! thought id left all the behind for a bit anyway! argh! anyways better hobble off downstairs i think i can smell my fish fingers, mash potato and ba

home is where the heart is

well im back, not really sure where im classing 'home' right now so ill just say im back in england! on my final night in bangalore seamus, paul and i went to have a snake coffee which was very tasty even though i hate coffee and then moved onto cosmo for one last time. there were lots of people waiting on 2nd floor which was nice and i even managed to dance, again! 3rd day in a row, im such a minx!! i managed to keep calm untill the music stopped and we had to call it a night and it was time for the goodbyes. *sniff!* quite a few people said id be back and so did i, so fingers crossed!! set off for the airpoart at 4am and checked in after my tearful farewell to seamus. more tears then flowed when i was told that id have to pay excess baggage!! oops! not goiong to go into how much i had to pay but it wasnt good!! :-S the flight home was fairly uneventful once id stopped blubbing, met 2 really nice women who came up to me in bangalore airport to see if i was ok, one o
