Feeling myself again
These past 5 or 6 days have been rubbish for me..because I've been ill.
Every symptom imaginable...well, just a sore throat, a fever, a high temperature, a bad stomach, a cough, the shakes and a swollen throat. Humph.
But today I wasted 45 minutes of my evening to sit around waiting for my doctor to move his arse so I could have my appointment. A 2 minute one in the end, how ridiculous. I could slap the NHS sometimes they really do have bad service..I dont even want to mention how long you have to wait at A+E in Telford!!
So after that pathetic doctors appointment I went to somerfield with mum and then took Hannahs present to her house. She wasn't in so we left it on the door handle praying it didn't get nicked...I got it in Camden after all..eep!
Im feeling a lot better today, I applied to Next to be a stockroom assistant. Its only temp but I need any money going at the moment.
I am supposed to be going to London this friday but my assessor is being silly and making me do my final assessment on Friday morning without checking with me first. I could just say Im ill again I suppose...I want to see Jamie!!
Apart from what I've already written there's not much else to report. Im quite excited to be starting Stafford College next September tho, I want to do a BTEC National in Media... like I always have wanted to. 2010 is the last chance to do it for free so I thought..why not? ;).
Not long to christmas...the shop windows are being transformed as we speak and each one Ive seen so far is really pretty =). Jamie's going to be here for New Years and its my Mums 50th Birthday so I need to get her something special and a very cool cake!! hehe.
I think Im getting back into the blogging word..only because Im unemployed and have FAR too much time on my hands. It's driving me insane not having a routine!! Hopefully I can get a job soon

Do the Shake n Vac
and put the freshness back!!
Haha, what a retro advert. Im watching the worlds greatest adverts or something, this happens to be one of them...as well as that quite raunchy flake advert of the 80's.
Anyway
Im ill. *applause* Ive done it again. Rachel is ill.
Im ALWAYS ill!!! This time ive got a bad stomach, pains everywhere, a swollen throat and other symptoms which may be because I have piggy flu but I dont think I do...well I might but I dont want to believe it =/
So I've been housebound for 3 days, doing nothing but sleeping and watching tv. The weathers been awful so I cant even sit outside, well not like I'd want to anyway its freezing. *sigh*
I really miss Jamie too, and I hope Im gonna be well enough to go on Friday cause we are all seeing New Moon =] Cant wait. We go to a big cinema in Islington....big prices too...£9 a ticket :o Such a rip off...and I bet you can guess the prices of the popcorn and drinks grrrr. So expensive!
Sam has been very kind and let me use his laptop for the past 2 days and im using it now, I dont fancy getting cold sitting at my computer. Im all tucked up warm in my bed =] Laptops are good for when your ill. I'd have one for the pure novelty if I was rich, hehe.
Apart from me being ill theres not much else to report. Dad got the christmas decorations down (nice and early) although they are all stuffed in boxes in my mums room for now until we put them up.
My new tv is awesome too! A man put a new digital aerial up on the roof and connected our tv's too it via a wire and now I have loads of decent channels..it rocks! I love having BBC three in here hehe.

Its the early hours of the morning
of the fourth of November 2009...
Im sitting at my computer talking to one of my american cousins Heather, listening to some random tv programme but not watching it...and feeling wider awake than ever...I should be sleeping ! But as my recent bed time has been 4 in the morning then how am I supposed to feel tired now?
*sigh*
A lots happened lately, I quit my job because I couldnt face going back after the manager gave me a mouthful down the phone on how crap I was as an employee so I ended slamming the phone down shouting "fuck you bitch. Good times. Im a week away from completing my NVQ in Childcare and officially not earning any money whatsoever....yes Im in that dreaded state of unemployment and it aint pretty.
So...Im just doing nothing everyday...I hate it..no money coming in , nothing to do except get shouted at by my brother who is also unemployed and clean up for my mum, spend endless hours on facebook and watching movies.
The way I have to watch DVD's in my room is a little different from everyone else...well most people I know. I have my desk next to my bed, and my tv is tiny and doesnt come with a DVD player plugged in. The only option I have is to turn my computer monitor around so it faces my bed, move the speakers...keyboard..mouse etc and play my dvds through my computer. This seems to work well until..
1. The monitor automatically switches off after 30 minutes to conserve energy which involves my film being rudely interrupted and having to stumble out of my cosy bed to wiggle the mouse so it comes back to life.
2. The speakers fall down.
3. The pc jams etc
So I guess its not the best method..but its the only one I have right now until I can afford a tv...
The movies Ive been watching recentley include
Rachel getting married
Fame
Nick and Norahs infinite playlist
The boat that rocked
..and another one I cant remember the name of but will probably spring to mind at a later date...
So the job hunting goes on.
The other day I applied to B&Q and the application process was sooooooo tedious....I had to rate myself out of 1-5 from a variety of adjectives such as "generous, kind and sensitive" how stupid why do they need to know that..I havent heard a thing back from them either.
Im literally applying EVERYWHERE now....grr I hope I can get something =/
And also Ive decided I want to be a primary school teacher...seriously. I think its the right thing for me to do....Id be a professional and be on a good salary a year....and I love kids anyway. I would actually go to uni and do it too....but it means going back to some college (not shitty new college) and doing a BTEC or A-levels. Well I know that I hate the whole A-level world and Ive always loved Media so Ive applied to do a BTEC national diploma in Media Production at stafford college next year....its ages away yet so I need to earn some money in the mean time because Im always in London with my gorgeous boyfriend..
Speaking of London , Im going down this friday and staying until Tuesday to see my Jamie <3 It feels like a lifetime since I last saw him... we've been going through a rough patch lately but all is OK now... I love him so much :)
Its still before 4 in the morning and Im still not feeling like I wanna crash and go to sleep...argh my body clock is seriously messed up Im telling you. It feels like time is just passing me by here, I wanna do something with my life!!!
Tomorrow Im going into my mums school to sit in with the receptions for the afternoon, just so I can meet the kids I'll be working with next thursday for my final assessment. Then I'll be qualified and nvq 2 will be mine. Not like Im gonna do anything with it, after all that. *sigh* Unless I find an AWESOME job as a kids club leader or something...3 hours a day aha. Oh well It will come in handy if I wanna be a teacher!!
Miss Tomlinson
I can see it now :P
I'd get those kids in order
Hmm Still not feeling tired and its coming up to 3:45 in the morning......
Bonfire night on thursday, seems to be a popular date for peoples birthdays on facebook as I have a whole list of them on my homepage!!!
Signing off now, hopefully Heather singing lullabys and nice thoughts of Jamie will make me sleepy
Goodnight

Still Alive....
A whole summer has passed since I last bothered to write a blog post. What happened in that time? A lot... thats all I can say. I thought I'd post this blog as a sort of "Im-still-here-and-havent-abandoned-my-blog" thing. Yeah I guess it works. My life has changed dramatically over the course of this year. Take this year and 2008 into comparison and literally nothing is the same. I drive, I work part time at a nursery, I spend every other weekend in London, I have a boyfriend (7 months and counting), some of my thoughts/opinions have changed and Ive realised many things I didnt before.
I feel I have changed personally too, well first I have lost weight (thats cause J walks me round half of London) =P....and the desires in my life have changed too....I am more happy with what I have then I have ever been before. Ok I would love to live in London 24/7 with J, and I dont really like living where I do anymore but it could be worse. I know I will live there one day its my dream.
In about 10 days its my 18th birthday..[17th October]...Im going to see Phantom of the Opera with my family and Jamie, and then spending a whole week in London with J...seeing Tarja on the 19th and then celebrating Jamie's 19th birthday on the 22nd October. Can't wait to be with my gorgeous boyfriend for all that time <3 Its very rare to spend that amount of time together.
Im not going to lie and say I dont know why I havent blogged all summer its just simply cause I cant be bothered. End of I had a great summer , I went on holiday to cornwall and Jamie came too. It was lovely weather but I had to become ill with tonsilitus didn't I?! =( Sad times.
I'll post a few pics and then I'll be off
Nicky...looking at your blog inspired me to write this post
"About bloody time!"
Unfortunatley I have run out of effort to write anymore so I will end this "blog" now.
Adios

.....Life is Peachy
Im sitting in my pjamas and it's 3:19 am as I'm writing this. What made me do this is another story, but Ive suddenly started to feel wide awake....(talk about a night owl)
Life is peachy. <3
Jamie and I are awesome, Ive passed my driving test, my new job is pretty cool, Im earning money and I get to spend most weekends in London! (I wish it was every weekend) but yeah I am so happy right now.
This week has been so hot...in the late 20's! Even 30's!! Everyone has been going mad in the heat and its been so hot at work...the kids getting all frustrated and everything. Why they dont have fans is so stupid...its 28 degrees in those rooms...and we have to look after kids in that heat...something has to be done. I actually didnt like being in the baby room but now I love it 1. because they have an air con machine and 2. babies arent as much hassle as the pre schools. I love them all the same though :).
Ok...my blogging fuel has run out. It has a low capacity right now.
I suppose I'll write something on here at a later date..
And now Im closing the cyberspace door and landing my head on a pillow to dreamland
=) Night

Ripping up those L Plates
Yeah that's right. Im back with GOOD NEWS!!
Today at precisely 2:10pm I recieved the news that I'd passed my driving test after what I thought had been a very good test. I had to do a parallel park, a reverse around a corner and an emergency stop. I passed with only 7 minors! Dead chuffed!!!
Then I drove myself home, and later on picked Sam up from the skatepark ON MY OWN!! And woah was it weird driving on my own..haha.
Im so so pleased. 8 months worth of lessons and hours of practice with dad and finally Im legally allowed 2 drive. SO HAPPY!...
Work is going well, today I had to look after babies for 3 hours in a 24 degree warm room and it was BOILINGGGGGGG! I survived somehow haha...
And now im eating cookies
And Im going to London on Friday to see my JAMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3>

Look at the ducks
I must have said that sentence about 10 times in the space of 10 minutes today.
We were on a 'sponsered walk' with nursery and the weather wasn't exactly on our side ... it was chucking it down and all I had was my hoodie. I also had one 2 year old boy on one hand and one 2 year old girl on my other hand trying to keep them from running off/falling into the murky water.
I never got sponsered =( Meh.
So yeah I pointed out the ducks to them and they were getting all excited about them and then the fish too..oh the fish.. lol.
After walking back around the park and back to nursery we got back in and everyone was soaking wet, and then we started singing songs. By "we" I mean literally everyone in the nursery...the entire staff and kids lol We had just started to sing "When goldilocks went to the house of the bears" when the manager came in dressed up as a bear - It was a mixed reaction - half the kids we're in tears and half were running up to her and cuddling her.
After drawing letters on card and being extremley bored as I wasn't with the older kids , my boss let me go home at half 1 and I went home and ate a pizza...it was yummy.
I'm absoloutley shattered and all I can think about is Friday...I need to be with Jamie so bad it hurts....I'm going for 4 days it's going to be awesome :) Can't wait.
[OH YEAH! Do you like my new blog layout? I fancied a change...the chocolatey browness of my previous blog started to make me feel a bit sick...so I decided to go for something completley different...still following the heart theme cause my blog will always be called "The Heart of Everything"....so yeah I hope you like it cause I do]

Rain is a good thing
Fix You - Coldplay.
I love this song...thank you HMV for letting me buy this album at only £4 .
<3 It's one of those inspirational songs that you can just listen to time after time :).
Yeah I'm in a happy mood, even if it rained today...I sat in up in my bed and just watched the rain flow down off the rooftops and into the gutters in the street. I had Jamie on my mind..(not like thats a difference...he's always on my mind). Im going to be so happy once I get off that train at about 6pm this Friday night..into his arms and staying there until Tuesday night ^_^.
Today has been uber lazy...I got up at about half past two...listened to the rain...talked with mum and watched eurovision song videos from last night...jumped in the shower...and now Im just wiping every possible thing off David's computer and listening to Coldplay's album "X&Y". I love it.
The rain has finally stopped, it was a good release actually..I think the clouds were fit to burst and then the heavens opened...soaking everything. I love it when it rains after a very long period of sunny weather..yeah Im mad but it just gives you a reason to stay in and think. And just as Im writing this the sun is peeping through the clouds =P
I'm just so happy now I really am, I couldnt describe how happy I feel. I'd be happier if I was with Jamie but knowing that he loves me so much and that I love him so much just makes me soooo happy =)...
Did I just write a blog? I should be proud of myself...blog posts dont really appear on here anymore..too much on my mind ;)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadios
(The Mighty Boosh haha)
(ALSO! 5 months today is my 18th birthday!!!)

Is that? No..it can't be!
A BLOG POST?!
I know what your thinking. Here she comes..strolling in after weeks of not one blog....not one glimmer of light shining from the realms of the blogging world and she finally turns up on the 14th May...
Well I'm here so get used to it. Well..I might be out the cyberspace door and walking up the street to the real world any minute now..but...let's just give it a shot.
Basically I have been busy. No lies. No dishonesty. I have.
Basically #2. I cannot be arsed to write blogs anymore.
1. Because I have a boyfriend
Yep..we've been together nearly 3 months and most of my weekends/days have been spent with/talking to Jamie and everything to do with him so...blog's on the internet aren't exactly on the top of my important list right now.
2. I'm lazy.
3. I've been working at nursery which is tiring.
4. Most of my time on the computer is spent doing other things than blogging...like talking to Jamie.
I cant help it...I'm in love and its amazing and the world is beautiful again and things are amazing...and he's amazing and yeah I wont go soppy but yeah we are very happy.
Work is good....I don't get paid and I only do two days a week..but oh well. There's a new girl I met yesterday from Vienna in Austria. She doesn't know much english but that doesnt matter, shes a nice person. Im the only one that makes an effort to talk to her...and I gave her my email address today so we could keep in contact when she gets back to Austria. Oh she's called Lisa =).
Im going to London next weekend for 4 days and cannot wait....=) I get to see my Jamie..
I have also been watching/obsessing over The Mighty Boosh. I cant stop quoting the moon/Old Gregg and Tony harrison makes me laugh =). I bought series 3 yesterday..
That's all I can be bothered to write...I give up easily I know but blogging is such an effort..
And no I wont keep you posted....
(Ok that was harsh...)
(I'll try my best)

Im going to London next weekend for 4 days and cannot wait....=) I get to see my Jamie..
I have also been watching/obsessing over The Mighty Boosh. I cant stop quoting the moon/Old Gregg and Tony harrison makes me laugh =). I bought series 3 yesterday..
That's all I can be bothered to write...I give up easily I know but blogging is such an effort..
And no I wont keep you posted....

Not forgotten
(Scary smile)Hi there

This blog is just to let you know that I am still alive ;)
& that you will probably find me talking in a loved up daze about how great the world is =) Its amazing what one person can do to you ^_^ <3

That blogging bug.
When viewing my blog a few days ago, I noticed that in 2008 I managed to write just 51 blogs for the ENTIRE year..
As of the 10th April 2009 I have managed to write 41 blogs and it is only the 4th month of the year, what does that tell you? Or me...for that matter. Well it means that within 3 months Im 10 blog posts away from being level with the amount of posts in 2008...which equals too..
*calculates*
I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THE FATAL BLOGGING BUG
Yes thats right, I knew it would happen evenutally but already Im writing more and more blogs this year, its different from last year =].
---------------------------------------------------------
I had an amazing time with my boyfriend last Tuesday in London. See the blog below for pics =)
---------------------------------------------------------
Im going driving in about an hour, I hope it will be alright. Last lesson wasn't so great but I have had 2 driving practices so I should be fairly good for 3:15 today.
Also it is good friday! =) Easter weekend begins now.

Saturday 4th April
I passed my theory test!!
Oooh yeahhh 43/50 is the pass mark for the multiple choice part > I got 46/50!
44/75 is the pass mark for the hazard perception part > I got 60/75 HOW?!
Well I did a lot of revision ;) Im dead chuffed =P Within seconds of finishing my exam the man said "Ok you can get your results now Rachel" so I went up to the receptionist and he said "Congratulations Rachel, you've passed" and I was like yay!!! =D haha. I got my things and just as I was opening the door , a guy I know called Josh was there and we have the same driving instructor. I wished him luck =D
Afterwards we went to a garden centre, had a coffee and a snack and then I drove all the way home from Shrewsbury with my Mum in the back and my mums friend Richard as my helper haha. It was awesome, I was awake and really in the driving mood. I just wish my driving instructor could have been there seeing my awesome driving! Oooh yeah ;]
I got back from Shrewsbury and my dad had posted a sign on the window....yay!
I then went to Bromsgrove with Dad in the van to drop off some stock, it took an hour to get there and we were there for half an hour and came back lol. I fell asleep and on the way back we got some take away pizza from pizza hut <3 Yum. Overall a fantastic day!
And to top it all off..
I HAVE MY DELAIN ALBUM! It's AMAZING! Pure BRILLIANCE!

Im not totally feelin' it
What is the big deal about twitter? People are literally obsessed with the site, I don't understand whats so great about it and how you can be bothered to tell people what you are doing 24/7.
That is why I prefer this lovely site. www.dailybooth.com
It's simply more fun than that site which is named after the noise a bird makes because you get to tell people how you feel with PICTURES yes PICTURES! <3 You get to see people's environment and facial expression, they also can send picture notes to each other (like I have done a few times). I even got a load of love hearts <333 sent to me from dailybooth cause I said how much I loved them ^_^. So sorry to all you hardcore twitter fans. I just ain't feelin' it.
Anywaysss enough about ze talk about ze twitter.
Today was hot. And I mean hot. Hot by English standards anyway. It was a nice 16/17 degrees and all the kids were off school and everyone was happy playing in their gardens and eating ice cream from the ice cream man.
"I sense a good driving lesson coming on" I happily said looking out of the window into the sun drenched street. My driving instructor turned up and it was to be the start of such a crap lesson. First of all I could hardly see cause of the brightness and it was ridiculously warm inside that car, I just really wasnt in the mood. I did everything wrong and did an awful 3 point turn which turned into a 5 point turn, messed about on parallel parking and did other stupid errors. Argh. The lesson finished on a high note when I managed to reverse around a corner. I think I pissed my instructor off to the max though, cause he knows how good I am and I just let myself down by thinking too hard about the task in hand and making it hard for myself. Ugh. I came home and just was so disappointed in myself, I felt so bad. Hopefully next lesson will be better. Carrying on the driving theme I have my theory test at 10:30am tomorrow at Shrewsbury. I've been revising for months/weeks and feel really confident about it. I hope I pass!
I got my haircut today, had it thinned out and layered a bit more. It looks good, plus I can actually see now my fringe is a bit shorter =]
Im seeing my Jamie soon, going to London on Tuesday to see him. I cant wait! <3 Gonna be an awesome day..

I've just been dancing to "Single Ladies" by beyonce and so thirsty now haha. Tomorrow is gonna be one lazy day, have to do a bit of homework for my assessor on Wednesday but thats about it. I should keep practicing my theory too as its on Saturday. Not much to report.

Emotionally high
Erm so yeah hi.
La de da. Im in love, yeah thats right. He's amazing, I've never known anyone so great and makes me smile like Im on a high 24/7. He's called Jamie and I'm seeing him soon and Im pratically jumping as I write this...Well maybe not as the typing would be a bit haywire.... Plus he's the only one that knows School of Rock off by heart, loves Within Temptation and Nightwish and uhm makes me feel unbelievably special.
We sorta just stare into each others eyes and theres a connection, I can feel it. =).
I just discovered a couple 10,000 miles apart (Scotland & Australia) who vlog to each other on youtube, thought it was so sweet. =] I admire them for surviving THAT far apart from each other...that must be extremley hard.
ANYWAY.. *secret smile* =)
Been working at nursery these past two days, tiring work but I love it. The kids love me and I always miss them until the next time I see them. Today was tiring, I did first aid on a girl who bruised her cheek, managed to keep David calm/occupied and also quiet little Leo got so comfy on me he fell asleep so I had to lie him down on the cushion... Had a good day to be honest =) Just quite tired now hehe.
Driving tomorrow =D Wooooo cmon test, you cant be that far off now. Couple of months maybe???
I have so much to write about but cant put it in words lol [fail]
My delain album should be arriving soon ... It's SIGNED BY THE BAND !!!!! =P Woo, I love my dutch friends for getting it for me. "Oh yeah's" lol.
------------------------NEWSFLASH--------------------------
Oh I've got a new section in my blog now. Well sort of a "mini-filler".... called
"The 2 new videos I found on Youtube which I cant get enough of".
Its a mouthful I admit, but you really do have to watch these.
Daveyboyz - "Heavy Metal Farmer"
Insane farmer singing screamo style while being chased by cows.
And
CharlyandJosh - Comic Relief
This made me laugh continuously. Actually all their videos do.
(Charly..Josh... I think your awesome, I always watch your videos and have a laugh cause I can just relax when watching you guys. I hope you see this message....and that I get to meet you one day. Also your pretty awesome for being both christian like I am...yeahhh!)

Erm so yeah!
Im so happy.

Street View Spotting
It's nice to know how some people in the city of York react to seeing the google earth street view cars roaming around their streets.
Happy chappy.
These sort of pictures have been rapidly removed from the street view system over the last few days and are still being removed as we speak. Shots of people being sick, being arrested or car crashes have been taken off, and even one of a man walking into a sex shop. Now you just get an error message saying "picture has been removed". Seems like a lengthy task to me.
I've been taking a look at this Google Earth Street view a lot these past couple of days, and cant help feeling that its approach is rather...well...stalkerish.
You can see into people's windows, cars and gardens...and Google say it has blurred out people's faces from the photo. Wrong. There are still many shots of people looking stunned or shocked at the camera (dont blame them) and also car number plates are still in view. So why did Google want to do this street view anyway? What are they trying to say?
Luckily my street is not on google earth yet, and I'm glad 'cause I want to be in the shot doing some random thing like washing my car or walking my dog. Seems random but then I can say that I'm on google earth xD.
I've had fun wandering around London on street view, oh and my friend Matt and I played a "street view" game yesterday where Matt named pubs and nightclubs for me to find in Southampton and then I print screened them to send to Matt and he said if it was correct or not.... yeah we're sad.
But we ROCK!
So...I wonder if EVERY single street in the UK will soon be on street view? Who knows?.

Today
I managed to get up in time and picked up my friend Steph from her house to go shopping in Telford. We were searching for a mothers day gift for Steph's mum and it proved to be rather challenging. First of all it was ridiculously busy, second Steph couldnt decide what to get for her Mum...and thirdly it was really hot inside the place so we just wanted to escape lol. We saw Vicky and that was good ^^ she came round with us for a bit, and then we finally got Steph's mum a lush bathbomb and some thorntons chocolate. I also got my mum a book by one of her favourite author's =]. I bought a new bag and rose-bud earrings from H+M and then we caught the 33 bus home to Muxton. We decided to call on Richard but as usual he wouldnt come downstairs so we walked away with a sad look on our faces....Im really worried about him. Mum picked me up and I went home and chilled out. My brother has a new phone and guess what?...Its the same one as mine. lol
I had a yummy curry for dinner and then I've just been watching the bonfire crackle =]
My blogging energy is used up now

Friday Sunshine
I woke this morning at the reasonable time of 10am; much earlier than previous wake-up times earlier in the week. I went downstairs and checked my facebook as usual, watched homes under the hammer and finally made the effort to go and have my morning (or afternoon) shower.
Doesn't that sound like the opening of a very typical teenage novel? Yeah I think so too.
Anyways..carrying on with the story of my day, I had my shower and started watching A place in the sun ..and yeah I am obsessed with that programme =P. I got dressed and had a sandwich, and then Mum came back from work and we went to Focus and bought a new bench, 2 hanging baskets full of pretty flowers, a bucket and various other things. The bucket was 99p so I was quite impressed lol.
I came back from Focus and managed to hurt my back moving the bench box through the kitchen. Stupid me...It really hurts =(
At 3pm I went for my driving lesson with Dave my instructor. Fortunatley the weather has been glorious again today, and we actually needed the air con turned on inside the car cause it was so hot!! I was wearing my converse and hadn't driven in them before but they turned out to be great shoes to drive in. I drove around Donnington and did loads of reversing around a corner and a few hill-starts, box junctions and had to face some pretty busy roundabouts..but it was good to be behind the wheel and Dave says my driving is coming on brilliantly and that he was "very impressed". =D !
I came home and literally been chilling out since then, watched some tv, had some yummy dinner and here I am...it still light outside! Tomorrow should be good 'cause Im going into Telford with Steph so she can get her mum a mothers day present. I've got my mum a- WOOPs she might read this ;)
Not got much planned for tonight....some good stuff on the tv including A place in the Sun, Home or USA? (*jumps*) OK. I am really sad.

Im in love, he's special, he's funny, he makes me smile, and I may be going to see him soon <3 I love you!

Here we go again
Im at home today, when I should be at nursery. I didnt go to bed until 3am and woke up to the sound of my alarm with a banging headache and felt like crap. So went back to bed and told Mum I wasnt up to it. I had some more sleep and woke up at about half 11 and still felt like shit.
Yesterday was eventful. Got up early to go into Triangle for my childcare exam and said goodbye to Mum's friend Ann who had stayed with us overnight. I didn't see what was coming around the corner though.
I got in my Dad's van and shut the door, and within minutes felt like I couldnt breathe..I seriously couldnt. I was hyperventilating and panicking cause I couldnt get any air . Mum came to say goodbye and I said to her that I couldnt breathe, she said "calm down" and opened the window to let some fresh air in. After I felt a lot better and Dad took me to telford. It wasnt nice though =/
Got to Triangle and sat down on the front table, then Rosemary sat next to me and we had a good chat cause we are good friends and we hardly see each other. Got given our paper's and had an allocated time of 45 minutes - I took 10 minutes and was out the door lol. Piece of cake that exam =S I am a A*/A grade student afterall.
Walked into Telford with Rosemary and spent a ridiculous amount of money on stuff like cd's , make up, my nvq 2 book, earrings, stuff from poundland and other random stuff. Think I spent like £60 in one day =/. Mum picked me up and I went back home and was watching a place in the sun and was falling asleep, Mum said I looked really pale so I went to bed for 2 hours and felt a lot better. Had some tea, and then mum and I went to the retail park to get some new shoes for work and some stuff for my car.
If you knew me very well, or had been shopping with me, you will know that I am EXTREMLEY picky when it comes to shoes. They have to be right and I can try on hundreds of pairs without even buying any. I have size 9 wide feet and getting comfy shoes is hard. But not this time. I tried on 1 pair and they were so comfy I didnt try any others and just bought them straight away! I also bought some roxy flip flops!! <3.
We then went to Halfords and took back my steering wheel cover that was broken and traded it for a new one. I got carried away in the car accessories section where I persuaded Mum to buy me a me 2 you tax disc plate and hello kitty air freshner. Im like a kid in a sweet shop when I go in that place...so much cool stuff for your car!
Speaking of cars.. driving is going well, got my lesson on Friday and my theory test on the 4th April. Im really confident with it now and managed to pass two mock theory exams with amazing results so...;) Im ready for it.
We then went to sainsburys and did the classic thing of going in for one thing, coming out with a trolley full. It always happens to us.
Nothing going on today, mums back so better go
*takes a look back at blog*

Play that funky music
Play that funky music till ya die!
Im back from the real life into the blogging life. Blogging isnt my favourite past time, but I thought as I have a spare moment until major pizza binge out in approx. 30 mins...I thought I'd give it a go.
Changes
I have my childcare exam tomorrow, bright and early at 9:30am and it should be easy.. so I've heard.
Right now my days compose of walking around the house in my pink converse, sitting on the grass playing fetch with Max while listening to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face", The Prodigy's "Omen" and Pendulum's "The Tempest" My favourite songs right now. Pendulum are my fave band right now. =]
It's so sunny and warm these days, I love it. Im making the most out of my days off before I start in my placement at the end of April. I am still working at Abacus twice a week where all the staff love me and the kids think of me as their big sister =) I will miss them all when I go.
Anyway, going to upload some new panaramic shots I took today onto facebook. As you do
Until the next time.........

Driving <3
Is my love :) I drove around Telford this morning , it was hectic but I coped Ok! Dave said my driving is coming along well :) & then as soon as I got in I booked my theory test.
Saturday 4th April =/ Better practice more on my hazard perception cd then! I did about an hour of it today, and I keep epically failing on it because I keep thinking everything small thing is a hazard, Ok I did get some 5/5 scores but mostly 0's lol. Eep! My theory is pretty good now :).
After making a yummy pizza for lunch, I literally did nothing the entire day. I did some more car theory/hazard perception on the computer, had dinner and been on the computer mainly.
Nightwish are playing in London on the 14th March >.< I really want to go, havent been to a gig for a whole year...and that was to see Nightwish! Why not have a 1 year anniversary by seeing them again? Trouble is, I cant get to Brixton very easily lol.
Not much else to report. Tomorrow Im going back home to Ripley to see Auntie Rachel + Emily and possibly Great Uncle Eric. Oh and to get some new vans shoes from Derby too. Woo roadtrip.
New blog design by the way =] It was getting a bit messy before, and I dont know how that harbour layout stayed so long...I think it grew on me. hehe.

I have a car!
Yes my friends! Today we drove to Birmingham (it was chaos) and saw the little yaris I like :)
Its a really good car, but has some bumps/scratches that need sorting out but they said they will do the work for us and we can go pick it up on Saturday! My own little car! Its silver, and Im planning to get some dice for it haha =P and it drives well too :)
So after having a test drive and taking pics of my little car, we shook hands with the dealers and then left and went to mcdonalds where the staff were getting everything wrong ...and in the end they gave us a free bag of 6 nuggets lol RESULT :)
So we came out of the chaos of Birmingham city center, and went to IKEA and bought tons of random stuff that we don't exactly need - (actually half the stuff we DID need) - and then I nicked some teabags at the end..
Im so tired....I just wanna go sleep!! I will spend all week thinking about my little car =)
Harris the Yaris =)

Earth to Rachel
"Hello? Is there anybody out there? If you can hear me.... is there anyone at all?"
Seems like forever I wrote my last blog, over 10 days ago infact. The thing is, I've had so much stuff going on that I didn't really have the time to blog or the resources...(the internet) It's been on and off for a while, and the past week has consisited of myself slaving over the computer taking it to pieces and trying to get the darn thing to work! So frustrating. I've also been working at nursery this week and thats been real tiring. Life without internet has been very very annoying....but my parents bought a new amazing computer which I am very jealous of haha.
Theres a lot to blog about, but Im not one for detailing my day to day accounts of the past week, it seems pointless now. I've given an overview, but I want to move forward and hopefully, with a GOOD internet connection, I will be able to blog everyday...or try.
Its good to be back though...the man came today and fixed the wireless network (I HOPE) I wont expect too much because its so iffy it could go off any moment.
- STOP - No more computer speak, my head cant deal with it!
-Press Play-
I have a driving lesson today, and I think we are learning to "approach complex junctions"...oh that should be fun. I've been looking at cars and seeing how much they are to buy, and I've been studying for my theory test too...need to get it passed. My driving instructor said I should be passed soon (couple of months time) - I hope I pass the first time! I cant wait to drive. I had a weird dream that I took my car out on the road with my friend Jenna, but I wasn't even insured and I got in lots of trouble....argh darn you horrible dreams!
Not much else for the day planned, Im currently listening to Mostly Autumn's cover of Comfortably numb and the end solo is absoloutley amazing...I love this song!

Changing lives
Truly tiring day!
Woke up to the sound of Mum and David arguing about him refusing to go into school...got dressed...drank some of our delicious coffee...ate my jam toast...straightened my hair..turned the straightners ..off...Or did I? I left the house and almost thought I'd run back in to check... but as I was already late for nursery I thought I'd trust my instincts.
Got to nursery and was in pre-school all day. Kids were little terrors, even more than before and David the naughty one was his usual self. Funny as all the staff think I'm amazing as I'm the only one who can calm him down/sit him on a chair and to be honest , shouting at him isn't gonna work. I just get down to his level and approach him calmly..I don't shout or be horrible. So after managing the whole morning of dolls...sand play...tears..tantrums and screams I literally ran out the door for my lunch break. I walked to greggs, got my usual tuna baguette (I cant imagine the amount of calories in one of those) and an iced ring doughnut (yep..not gonna bother counting here either). Walked back to nursery and sat in the freezing cold staff room with my coat wrapped around my legs, texting random people and eating my baguette (which was heavenly like always)...returned to the screams and Gregg made me sing with the children lol I need to learn these nursery rhymes!
About 3, Jo the manager came in and was watching me sitting with the children...I was holding David at the time and he was being tremendously quiet and she was saying "Oh I wish you were here 5 days a week Rachel...David really likes you" and I said "yeah, as an apprentice...I can't find a placement anywhere" putting on the pity talk a bit...maybe she'll change her mind and take me on as an apprentice even though they probably can't afford to pay another one...sucks though as I would love to do my placement there. Anyway, just before I left...another member of staff Lindsey was commenting on how good David had been all day, and Jo replied "Oh yeah, it's cause Rachel is here...every wednesday and thursday he's good because thats the day's Rachel is here" I was like dead happy =]. Glad to know Im making a difference in a child's life!
Im absoloutley shattered now... I have like no strength lol. Same again tomorrow....woo.
Going to Nicky's house this weekend!! York here I come ^_^ I have missed you. We are going to a lovely italian restaurant in Walmgate and yes it is valentines day, but 2 years ago we did the same thing when we first met..so its kinda a anniversary haha. We gonna be with all the valentines couples feeling jealous...but we will probably have our own anti-valentines party afterwards lol. Can't wait...! =]
Thats all I have to say now. Not looking forward to my driving lesson this friday. Friday the 13th. Eep...haven't driven for 3 weeks AND it's an unlucky day... meh. Come on Rach! Be Confident! *eep*
& Yes. I did leave my straightners on and nearly DID burn the house down! Oops

Snow Hype
Snow Snow Snow.
*Begin rant*
Now now england, dont get too excited it's just a bit of snow! These newsreaders on midlands today..take everything so flipping seriously. So what if all the schools were closed and only 18 open in worcestershire... so WHAT? Who wants to go to school and do maths and english, when its chucking it down with 10 centimetres of snow outside? No one. And thats the truth.
I watch my local news every night ; yes call me sad...and they have these reporters dotted around the place donned in hats, scarves and gloves looking ridiculously freezing holding a microphone. And what do they do? Stand there telling us its snowing when I can see for myself that its chucking it down!
Gah, they make such a fuss as well.... reports like..
"Parents angry as headteacher shuts school due to snow"
"Children should be in school, life has to go on"
Yeah but if the roads are mega slippy, and its too dangerous to even get to school then whats the point? Have a few days off, stay at home, drink hot chocolate, play in the snow & HAVE FUN! Argh...
My old school, was shut and the 5 years I was there it never shut once. At 8am this morning both my brothers were informed they had the day off and were over the moon. The headmaster then sent a huge email out to all parents on the email list telling us how he will be "on site tomorrow at 7am , to check the situation" and Im like..oh just close it forgoodness sake! lol. Make such a fuss. Whats one day off gonna do? Nothing!
ALL the schools were shut in my town except ONE, the one where my Mum works! Gutted! She had to go in, but apparentley there were only 16 year 6's in! Like whats the point? Grrr.
I took the day off, I didnt wanna go in as It was snowing outside...but I slept until 1pm and thats why Im awake now typing this as I only got up twelve and a half hours ago lol *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* :)
This week has been uneventful to say the least.
Well...On Monday I went to Telford and dropped off my Unit 4 I'd spent most of Sunday working on, and then Mum and I went into the town centre for a bit and had a gorgeous hot chocolate from Hotel Chocolat (it was heaven) and then we went and got Sam's new phone for him and then I met up with Charlotte. We managed to get ourselves a pair of size 9 shoes *gasp* from New Look which was good, and I bought a trendy new scarf which is now my obsession <3. I advised Charlotte to buy a hot chocolate from Hotel Chocolat and after she bought hers, I gave in and bought my second one of the day...mm liquid chocolate <3. We then went back to her house after a really long bus journey in the snow, and then a good half an hour walk in the falling white good stuff. We got back soaked, and then watched edward scissorhands and ate pizza ^_^ good fun.
Tuesday was highly uneventful...I can't even remember what happened. Oh wait, I walked round the cemetary with Mum and Maxie whilst waiting for David and Sam to come out from school. That was it.
Wednesday I worked at Abacus, and was pleased to see the children again. They got me doing everything to washing paint pots to serving food but to be honest its all good. I managed to calm naughty David down again and the staff were impressed. Greg, one of the nursery nurses, then asked me to keep the kids occupied for 10 minutes so I played "Rachel says" with them and they ALL listened to me and I got them reading a book silentley on the floor. Greg was impressed!
The staff then ordered a KFC for me (I payed them back) and Val the cook made me a coffee...and I only volunteer! I'm well in now ;)
So all in all that was good.
Today has been so uneventful....it included sleeping, sleeping, watching tv, computer, showing Vinicius the snow outside, music, more tv, more computer. Thats it! Wow , Lazyness <3
Tomorrow : More lazyness <3

Disappointment
Unfortunatley, sometimes you can get so excited about something and carried away that you forget all sense of praticallity and sensibility that you wonder why you even bothered in the first place.
This is what happened to me, a few days ago. Wednesday to be precise. I'd had an interview at a nursery in Stafford, to see if they would employ me as an apprentice for my NVQ level 2. I got there late after failing to find the nursery the first time round, and was greeted by one of the managers. I had a tour round, and it was a fairly big nursery and all the staff smiled at me. I then had a chat with the other managers, including the one I'd spoke to on the phone, Steph. Everything was fine, and the other manager was concerned that travelling from where I live everyday was going to be a struggle, but I said I was prepared to do it....or so I thought.
I left the nursery feeling proud of myself, as they were obviously very interested in taking me on...and offered me a 2 week trial starting at 9 in the morning until 4:30.
I was exhausted by the time I'd reached the bus stop which was a good 20 minute walk away from the nursery...and then waited for the bus home where I saw 3 of my friends from school =] we had a good chat. They are actually doing childcare at college, but dont get a paid placement like I'll end up having. The bus journey took about 25 minutes and we stopped in the town center , and loads more people I knew from BBS got on...was weird seeing them after nearly a year.
I finally got home an hour and 10 minutes later, and Mum said It was gonna be too much...and I rang the nursery up to apologise and say I wouldn't be coming on the trial. Gutted..but sometimes you need to follow your brain over your heart. Praticality won this time.
Thursday I didn't go into training, as I felt like crap and attempted to do 1 question on my assignment and just about managed. I then collapsed into bed for an hour cause I felt too weak to anything else....today I am doing nothing and cancelled my driving lesson because I also feel not well enough to drive. I learnt that lesson last time, I'd been ill and tried to have a driving lesson but did everything wrong and felt crap about myself. *sigh*
Also, Im giving up on finding anyone right now. I dont think I can take anymore hurt or stress from a guy. Im gonna wait until I find someone who is worth my time, and will treat me like a proper girlfriend.
As for the rest of the day...I have nothing planned. I guarentee I wont be working tomorrow...idiots. So another week without pay! Gah. And EMA better come bloody soon...I hardly have anything in my bank. Im skint lol

Hallelujah!
FINALLY. SOMETHING. IS. GOING. RIGHT! =] !
Got to training this morning, and discovered that myself and another girl (who I believed hated me) we're gonna be the only ones in the classroom for the morning training session. I was greeted with a smile and a "hello" from the girl, and since that moment we were on speaking/laughing terms and I felt a whole lot better. See? Forgiveness is everything...I cannot believe the level of stress I got into because of that whole thing with her and the other girls....now all is forgiven..I hope.
Michelle made us a cup of coffee and we sat at the desk drinking our hot drinks and eating double stuffed oreo's. Mm-hmm. I then sat to ringing loads of nurseries...
Between 11:30 and 12:30 today, I sat in one of the tiny rooms in Triangle Training and rang about 20 nurseries up...really. I was trying to find a nursery that would take me on as an apprentice you see, but they are extremley hard to come across. I got some funny replies as well, as well as the, well, rude ones...Most of them wouldn't offer me a place or either had too many people already employed...I found one , which to be honest is kind of a trek from where I live, on an RAF base. I was getting all excited until they didn't ring back...well they haven't tonight either.
I rang up a nursery and I asked very politely "Do you take on childcare apprentice's?"
"Not if we dont pay them, BYE!" *hangs up*
How RUDE! lol
Then...I rang another nursery...
Since then, Ive been sitting on the computer and eating my 2nd creme egg of the day..naughty me...

I was trying to find a nursery that would take me on as an apprentice you see, but they are extremley hard to come across. I got some funny replies as well, as well as the, well, rude ones...Most of them wouldn't offer me a place or either had too many people already employed...I found one , which to be honest is kind of a trek from where I live, on an RAF base. I was getting all excited until they didn't ring back...well they haven't tonight either.
I rang up a nursery and I asked very politely "Do you take on childcare apprentice's?"
"Not if we dont pay them, BYE!" *hangs up*
How RUDE! lol
Then...I rang another nursery...
"Press 1 for Baby Bears
Press 2 for Tiny Tigers
....goes on...
....Press 6 to be put to the manager..."
Mum picked me up from training and we went to ASDA and managed to spend too much on food and stuff, and then we got home and I set to ringing up loads of nurserys again...It wasn't until the last minute that I managed to talk to a lovely lady who was very interested and wants me to go for an interview! WOW... RESULT!Press 2 for Tiny Tigers
....goes on...
....Press 6 to be put to the manager..."
Big place I thought LOL. Jungle more like! Tiny tigers haha
Google FTW
I rang another nursery....well...I thought it was a nursery
Me : Can I speak to the manager please?
Person : *Kids voice* We don't have a manager!
Ok... lol
THEN the most EPIC one of the whole day...
Me : Can I speak to the manager please?
Person : Im sorry theres no one here at the moment, they're out herding sheep
LOL....Herding sheep...new brand of nurseries or something? Lol...think my training center needs to update their phonebook lmao...it had me in fits xD

Childcare
Today was great, tiring but that's the norm after working with children all day at Nursery.
My friend Jenna is working at Nursery with me now too, so I came in half an hour after she had and she was like "where you been" lol. The day consisted of us carrying soft play equipment around the nursery and serving everyones dinners and getting bowls of flour lol. Im feeling more at home there everyday, Im used to it cause I used to go to the after school club when I was about 8 (But hated it)...
Anyway I managed to lock myself in the office while photocopying and one of the staff called Jackie managed to spot me alone in the office with the door shut, and if it wasnt for her I would have been stranded there lol. I spent lunch in town with Jenna , and we went to see her Dad at the fire station lol....random. We got back to nursery and the kids had free play, and then the naughtiest boy David who has some kind of learning/behaviour problem stopped being horrible and came and sat on my lap out of the blue, just wanted to cuddle me...this really made me feel happy and felt like what I was doing (working with kids) was right cause it is so rewarding. He didn't want to sit with Jenna, he wanted me and that really made me feel proud of what I was doing...I seem to be the only one that can calm him down.
So I survived through the tears and arguments, toy wars and screaming until about half 2 when Greg said I was going on the school run :| eep, I hadn't done it before so we walked to the Infants and then the Juniors and survived the crazy parents and traffic with about 3 kids from each school...saw some people I knew in town including one girl who worked at Abacus where I am...and managed to grab one of our little girls, Maya, out of the road before she got run over. We got back to nursery and I went and said hello to the after school bit and they were all up there, said bye to everyone downstairs and went home.
Another rewarding day with children...yes I am mad but I LOVE it...better than sitting in a classroom all day doing boring work.
I'm exhausted...I can barely feel my legs, today has been busy! Walked about 2 miles lol
I haven't blogged for a while because I cant be bothered to be honest....loads of shit has been happening again and stuff and not been in the mood to spill about it on the internet. Anyway, I should be back now...things in my day to day life especially working at nursery are really good...infact I look forward to working there next.
Adios

Empty Drawers
I chucked out a load of old clothes the other day. It made me feel a hell of a lot better doing so.
I removed clothes that are too small, I never wear and that are just sitting there because I'm emotionally attatched to them. It felt great. Trouble is, I now have no clothes left and my drawers are nearly empty....time for a shopping spree.
So if you need a restart, chuck out your old clothes and start again.
I've been ill for the past week, again. Stupid sore throat swelling up at any signs of a virus, preventing me from breathing properly. I haven't been into training or nursery and I don't want the depression creeping on to me again so Ive decided to take as many blackcurrant lempsip as possible to make me well again. Obviously I'm not that depressed as to take an overdose if you're worried or something...I just want to feel better. I'm driving tomorrow =]
Not much else has happened this week, I've just been stuck inside the house feeling lousy and spent hour after hour on Facebook. It gets very tedious after a while
I suppose I'll blog about something interesting later....

I saw twilight on Monday, Yes Twilight!
It was rather random how I ended up seeing it. I was at triangle in the computer room, typing up my essay with Rosemary and Rachel. Rachel randomly just said "I wanna go to the cinema!" and I said "Really? To see what?" and she replied "Twilight" and then I said back "ME TOO!". So we ended up seeing it after training :) We wasted about 3 hours in town somehow lol and then we went and saw it. We got there mega early so had a hot chocolate in costa coffee beforehand, and then went to see the film. I literally knew all the words lol and thought it was really awesome =D Not many times I see a film where I already know the story =P but yeh I was impressed with it...and 5 words...I just have to say.... ROBERT PATTINSON IS THE SEX <3>
Anyways yeh It was a good day :)
But since then I've been ill! and it sucks....had the shivers and my throat is all swollen up =( not fair.
Now I have to drink this manky hot blackcurrant drink =( bleh

Story Preview.
From the second I opened my eyes this morning I knew today was going to be trouble.
I woke bleary eyed staring at the gray, dark ceiling and wiped the sleep from my eyes with hardly any effort. Waking up slowly but surely, something cold and wet hit my head within seconds. Drips of water were landing on my head somewhere from above and with a sigh I lept out of bed and stood on top, pressing my hand along the ceiling searching for the source of the water. I hated this house, it was so old and creaky. I'd lived here for the past few years when we had first moved here, and I swear the house needed knocking down and being built again.
Still searching for where the water was escaping from,t I realised the bed beneath me was creaking and before I knew it , the bed collapsed beneath me with a huge crack. My legs gave in beneath me and in the process , I managed to bump my head off the hard, wooden bedside table spinning my head into uncontrollable pain. I couldn't remember anything after that.
I'd always been clumsy since I was very young. It didn't help that my mother fell down the stairs while carrying me inside her , maybe It rubbed off on me when I was born.
I woke up in a very white room, I heard voices above me but it sounded so blurry and out of focus that I couldn't tell what they were saying. All I know was that I had an awful stabbing pain in the back of my head, so painful that it made me want to shut my eyes again and go back to sleep. This idea lasted for a few seconds until I heard , loudly and clearly someone say my name.
"Karen , wake up sweetheart, you're alright now". I knew I wasn't alright , but one thing I was sure of was that it was definetley my mother's voice. I opened my eyes wide and saw my mother's worried face, deep blue eyes and dark black hair in front of me , holding my hand in a cold grasp.
I asked her what had happened, and she said that I had a nasty fall. I couldn't remember anything from this morning but I still wanted to know why I had such bad misfortune and how I was wrapped up in white sheets in a hospital bed.
I heard my mother whisper, "I'll explain everything later, you rest now"
My tiredness and pain took hold of me, and I sank back into a deep sleep knowing I wouldn't wake for hours.

Back to my old self
Hear that?
I'm back to my old self! Well, I don't want to jump the gun but last night just brought me back to life!
I went out with my friends Emma and Salome and have not had seeing them for months we had loads to catch up on! We met at Pizza Hut and my mood was lifted instantly. We had to wait half an hour for a table as it was so busy but in that time we caught up and I felt so glad to be with my friends :) We ordered a stuffed crust cheese and tomato pizza, wedges with dip, salad and drinks. We were so hungry that by the time the starters came and we had fetched the salad from the salad bar, about 5 minutes later we had about 1 piece of lettuce and 2 tomatoes left from the salad as we were so hungry! So I decided to be rebellious and walked up the salad bar and filled the bowl again with tons of coleslaw/tomatoes and croutons =P Salome was shocked =P
So after passing on the cookie dough and ice cream dessert, we walked to the cinema. I had to hold Salome to stop her from falling over as she was walking in heels (silly girl) and by the time we got to the cinema, Twilight had already started so we went to see "Yes Man" instead. We got in late and pushed our way through 2 people at the end of a row, and sat down to watch the film which - no surprise- was showing the adverts before the movie. The film started and I have to say, right from the start you could tell it was gonna be a good movie, and it really was. It was hilarious! :) I must go and see Twilight this wednesday though =] Cant wait to see that.
So after the movie ended, Emma went home and I got a lift back with Salome. I got home and was all happy and felt really good. It was me who had organised it and I was so glad I did, otherwise I probably would have been jumping off a cliff right now...heh. But yeh it was great, and next weekend we have something else planned with my other friend so can't wait for that either! I've decided if you want to do something with your mates, you can't sit back and expect them to get it sorted, you have to initiate it. I've always rejected that idea, but when you fell to the point where I was at, literally in the midst of depression - I had to do something otherwise I would have , like I said, jumped off a cliff.
I've just come back from driving with my Dad in my mum's car. It's the most stupidest car to drive, and she hates it when I say it but honestly..the gear box is stupid and it is so easy to stall. I got all frustrated and turned too quickly, ended up beeping the horn and having my Dad grab the steering wheel. I got it back on track again and stopped the car, walked around the car in the fresh air to compose myself and got back in again. I have , however, been driving a luxury diesel toyota yaris with Dave my driving instructor. So to go from that to a petrol Suzuki Wagon R which is slightly old , It was difficult. But I managed in the end =] Woo!
I did have my driving lesson on Friday with Dave, I went on dual carriage ways and it was awesome =P. I really need to pass my theory so I did a bit of that today, gah just wanna get it out the way!
Back to training tomorrow , probably finish really early so will go home around 2 =P I really cant be arsed to sit in that tiny computer room at training which is like 35 degrees hot. Hopefully they'll let me go home.
Thats about it for now, I'm hungry so will probably make a toastie *Toastie Time*

Explanation
You may have noticed that my recent blogs all begin with "E"? Well I don't know why, it's just random.
I might choose another letter soon and start all my blogs after that letter. Just adds a personal touch I guess. Oh by the way, if you do read my blogs can you let me know? I hope someone does...
I have been driving today :D I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything at all after 3 weeks of no lessons, I'd missed it. I got in the car after my driving instructor was like 5 minutes late Grrr -_- We went on the dual carriageway and it was dead fun! :P I was zooming along at 60 haha and really loved it, I also managed another 3 point turn woop hehe. Yeh I love driving! =]
After my driving lesson I decided to delve down the side of my bed and couldn't believe the amount of crap lurking down the side of there! I cleared it all out, including the stack of empty useless boxes at the end of my bed and then Mum and I set to clearing out tons of clothes, I mean TONS. I chucked them all out and need to buy some more now lol ;]. It felt good though, I still had all my P.E kit from school =S Not that I'll ever need that again. *shudder*
Just been out to the fish and chip shop and Waitrose - It was crazy in both places. Got ignored by a girl who served there that I went to school with - talk about rude!
Eat tea and it was scrummy, and looked through the paper to see if there was anyone I recognised from nursery. I'm like that now, I wanna show everyone all the kids I work with at Abacus, they're so cute ^_^
Now I'm just sat on the pc blogging and talking to people. Tonight will be boring but tomorrow night won't cause hopefully me and loads of my friends are going to Pizza Hut and seeing "Twilight" so looking forward to that. Hope it goes ok.

Enthusiasm
I have finished reading twilight. Oh my goodness, what a book! Must read the next books now! :)
I've been in a room of screaming 2 and 3 year olds the entire day, my head throbbed as I left that nursery! They just never shut up! I try playing with them but they are that age where they get so bored of one thing and move to another within 1 minute, I can't keep up! It's fun though, working with children is what I want to do...just the older ones!
I got home after Mum picked me up and just texted all my friends asking them to come to the cinema with me to see "Twilight" (Obviously) in the evening. None could make it, but I rang them all up and organised pizza hut and seeing twilight this saturday night =D They all could come and my mood lifted in an instant! Even hearing my friends voices made me happier, and I can't wait until Saturday! It should be a good night.
Im so exhausted! Looking after kids is hard work! But so rewarding! =]
--
I was reading some hilarious Bush quotes earlier haha.
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we"
ROFL
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
LOL!
Seriously, what is that man on? He's hilarious! =P Made me laugh.
---
I'm driving tomorrow , probably going on dual carriageways : Eep!
"Say goodbye, wish me well, you gotta let me know, are we human? Or are we dancer?"
