Got woken up from my snooze by the guy downstairs ringing to see if I wanted to go to Sainsbury's then have tea at his. He really does pick his times to ring. So we went to Sainsbury's and he bought a chicken that takes 2 hours to cook (this was at 6pm). I've been to the library and he went to a social, the chicken should be cooked by now. Won't be getting tea for another hour I think :( I just want to go to bed, my throat and head are killing and I ache all over. I'm not even hungry but I can't not go.

I think my body is close to packing up. I need to learn to say no to some people and just rest.

I'm way too tired for my own good. I need to start going ot bed earlier!
Just got back in from dancing after a little detour to my aunties as it's her birthday.
Now I have to do my RE essay, and have a bath,
Looks like I'm staying up late!

You should listen to your body, it knows you best. Hope you feel better soon.

Last night was awful, I thought I was going to die. I was burning up and shivering at the same time, I couldn't wrap up because my arms are so sensitive at the moment, sore throat, swollen glands, kidneys, back and hips hurting. I've got an appointment with the doctor this afternoon. My ears are hurting now and I can't swallow :(

I ended up sleeping downstairs in my friend's bed because I was scared I would die during the night. Worst night's sleep in ages :thumbsdow

05-12-2008, 09:38
Aww, Abigail, I am glad you are seing the doctor this afternoon. I think you should get yourself home and let your mum look after you for a while, sounds as if you are not well enough to do any studying anyway. :( Hope you get better.

I finish on Thursday and I have two assignments to write so I can't go home yet. Five weeks with my mum would drive me crazy.

Another day off school - have been off all week now because of snow :D

And also a chance for me to wean myself off Mamma Mia :lol: i've watched it 26 times sinces Saturday afternoon! I've uploaded all the music videos to youtube, my phone & iPod, got the songs on my phone, iPod & on a CD in the car! :lol: :lol:

Aww Abigail, the last thing on my mind if I were you would be assignments. Hope you feel better soon x

School was good :)
I had a text off the one boy who read my messages apologising. I accpet his apology.. but I have to tell him why I was so annoyed first, otherwise I knwo I won't let it go.. and he's not getting off that easy anyways!
Mwahahaha

Been to town to buy some new shoes and a belt to go with my new dress for 2 of my friends joint 18th tonight :)

I've had a busy couple of days...yesterday had a music concert (he kept flippin not giving me my cues! :rolleyes: It was not good...) and then went straight to a friends to sleep over with some others. Today I went with my best friend shopping to find a dress for her for some posh party. It took a while but we managed to find one. :D Then we came back and watched House. Then we went to the Kew Sparkle evening. :D Got some great fudge and its so christmassy and it gets better every year. (Its only been going 3 years). And then I went to the pub with my family for the Kew guild for supper.

My friend and I am going back to shop tomorrow because we didn't finish what we planned. :lol: I get way too distracted in HMV. I did get a set of Billy Connelly dvds, series 4 blackadder for my dad and a Katie Melua collections cd for my mum so I've at least started the christmas shop. :p I also got Mock the Week too hot for dvd because I couldn't resist. :lol:

Abigail
05-12-2008, 23:50
I've been watching House season one in bed today. Going to start from the beginning and work my way through. The show has changed so much, "everybody lies" hasn't featured in seasons two to five.

I've felt like Ive lost a week of my life...this week. Been pretty ill with bird flu..but have to say....finally on the road to recovery!!! Woooohoooooooooo....:cheer:

Kirsty :]
05-12-2008, 23:58
Glad you're feeling better PB x

Been to a school frined 18th tonight... it was good, until jsut afterfood when drama kicked off! :( It really wasn't good.
I also had a bit of a tiff with my best friend.. we never have like "arguments" it was hardly an argument but I got mad over something really really stupid!
We all also found out another friend had been lying to us all night!
Other than that was a good night :)

Katy
06-12-2008, 11:17
Glad your getting better. I really need to complete my final essay to or tomorrow. I reallyl dont want to be as last minute as i was last week, i nearly gave meself a heart attack or something it was certainly panic city!

Im doing that most f the day and then i am going into town to drop some deposits off for my friends christmas dinner and then i am going to get some dvds from HMV and then a bit of crimbo shopping. Then back to my essay! i highly doubt my day will be as planned though!

I'm going to write one of my assignments in bed today. Feel slightly better but still tired. My room is such a mess, I can't even sit at the desk for all the rubbish on it and the chair is in the middle of the room surrounded by clothes, boxes and god knows what else.

Going to have some breakfast then get started on work.

Abigail
07-12-2008, 15:05
I'm so confused yet happy and worried at the same time. I had such a good night last night with my friend, watching a DVD then going to bed together. I wanted to stay in bed with him all day but I have work to do :( I'm still trying to figure out what and how it happened.

Anyway, halfway through my first assignment. I don't have any more information to write, need another 460 words. Then I need to do 2000 on a subject I know nothing about :hmm: Night at the library tomorrow methinks.

Kirsty :]

Last night was rather eventful.
3 of my friends went out and I was online.. but didn't get an invite.
So I went over my aunties and kept my Nan complany whilst she babysat my cousin.. I did fall asleep though lol
Then when my Aunty and Uncle came in my Uncle said somethign about my Granch being delayed to pick us up because of a young girl with a dog at our door with a bit of a dilemma. It was weird.
She was ill though, like borederline schizophrenic and she self harmed, but my Nan and Granch took her back to her flat and made sure everything was locked up for her so she was safe in the night.. what she'd told my Nan was quite sad :(.. I'm sooo soo lucky compared to some people, she sounded liek she had a really rough time of it as a kid.

Today I am sooo annoyed!
The same 3 friends who went out last night ahve gone out again today, and not invited anyone. It was a "last minute" thing apparently.. but my friend said she wouldn't go into work today because she wanted to go shopping.. whcih isn't like her at all, so it must have been planned for her to not go iinto work. It's really wound me up! The 2 boys change their minds on the company they like and then the girl (who is supposed to be my best friend, but we've grown apart alot recently) never ever comes out wiht us if her boyfriend is around but if he;s not about she says jump and everyone says how high? It makes me madd! :(

Sorry for the rant.

I swear your social life mirrors mine precisely Kirsty. I hope you sort things out with them.

I had my first shift at Homebase yesterday, it was ok :) Spoke to a few people so hopefully will make some new friends down there, as well as do work obviously :p .. today I stayed in bed til midday, watching a DVD and doing some of my Media coursework..

and I plan on relaxing for the rest of the day. Going to watch Home Alone later on Five :D

Kirsty :]
07-12-2008, 15:53
Haha! Well.. you have a job, so not quite there yet!! :p

I wouldnt have been able to go out today anyways, everyones coming over for my aunties birthday dinner... but it would've been nice to have an invite.

Abbie
07-12-2008, 16:20
Well so far today Ive atempted a past paper in biology I need to start some geography work and Ive been getting all the stuff for drama ready for our exam this week :eek: :S scary!

Perdita
08-12-2008, 06:38
I have watched the old H&A episodes on Fiver too. Not being a regular watcher, I found it quite informative :)

Kirsty :]
08-12-2008, 16:42
Had quite a rough day I suppose, got alot of my RE essay done though.
Not quite sure if me and my friend are talking, don't really even know why.

Got home and I am soo tired, but I cooked tea for me and my Nan and I missed another phonecall on the house phone!! :(

But while I was cooking I had a phonecall off the lady who interviewed me and she said the opening is delayed for about 10 days but they are interested and will give me a trial :D:D:D:D
Sooo I'm happy now :D

I'm sooo tired! got back from Runcorn yesterday evening - had one of the best weekends ever! Saturday we went into Liverpool to do some shopping and it's amazing, a lot lot lot bigger than I expected, will defo be going there instead of Manchester next time, lots more brand name shops too, i'm not one for lots of brand names but was very impressed!

Got back to sara's in the afternoon and got ready for her party - she'd bought a drink fountain and we made 'the ******* mix' to go in it.
Cherry lambrini, normal lambrini, red chinzano, peach schnapps, cherry WKD, limeade & vodka. And me and sara were drinking this tropical fruit twist thing that was bright green and was like bacardi breezer stuff, and also peach schnapps & lemonade. God knows how i didn't have even the slightest symptoms of a hangover the next morning, we even got up at 7! But i must say i have felt the effects today! been so tired, a banging headache and really dehydrated so me thinks it was a bit of a delayed hangover. :lol: :lol:

Was a really good night, i'd never met any of her friends before and they were all dead nice to me which was really sweet.

9 days left at school! Can't wait to finish!

I am :D I have to get through the trial first... anyone here a waitress and can give me a few tips?? lol

Me and my friend have had a big argument :( then my other friend got involved but had only got her side of it.. which I thoguht was rather harsh. But I told him to not get involved as it;'s nothign to do withhim.. and me and my friend have sorted stuff out I think :)

Abbie
08-12-2008, 18:24
lol Im a waitress :D

You just need to smile :D and be friendly to people, and you have to feel confident in some respect cos you feel like your doing crap you might drop something

Kirsty :]
08-12-2008, 18:27
Aww thanks lol
Since it's a buffet, I don't need to serve hot food... but I do have to serve drinks, and I've seen a waiter drop drinks all over someone before and I'm terrified I'll go do the same!

Abbie
08-12-2008, 18:35
Oh and only take as much as you can carry, it doesnt matter if you take less, as long as you dont take much and drop it.

09-12-2008, 10:23
1300 words were doing well just over 1000 to go, as soon as this is over the better! I cant wait to be free, although it is just a mountain of revision to do and a load of pacing for going home for crimbo.

I have to say i have much enjoyed this last semester of uni more than my first year i dunno it feels weird.

Perdita

I have just had my last session with my assessor and should hopefully have completed all my work for my level III in an NVQ in Business Administration. It took me just over 6 months and was hard work. :)

Abigail
09-12-2008, 13:36
Congrats Perdita. I love the feeling when you've finished something.

Went out last night and drank way too much. I couldn't even walk at 7.30am this morning. Was a really good night, ended up sleeping with my friend again. Three times in the past week :ninja: We had room inspections this morning and I was still in his bed when she came round, she give me a proper dirty look.

I got off with some random guy, can't remember what he looked like. Apparantly he wasn't that good looking. He got pretty heavy and told me he was taking me back to his :hmm: So I went to the toilet and text Jamie to tell him not to go without me. This guy was really going for it, Jamie walked up and nearly lamped him one.

I think one of my flatmates kissed a girl from another flat when we got back. I didn't see exactly what happened but he came to my room later (walked in on me naked :eek:) and swore blind for about two minutes that nothing happened :hmm: He gave me strict instructions when we went out that I was not to let him kiss any girl or go home with any girl except me because he's seeing someone.

So yeah, best night out I've had in a long while :D

Kirsty :]
09-12-2008, 14:45
Congrats Perdita.
Abigail you sound liek you had a very good night lol

Came home from school early as I don't really feel well and coudn't concentrate :( I have driving at half 3 for 2 hours aswell whihc I'm not looking forward too!

Perdita
09-12-2008, 14:47

09-12-2008, 17:39
Congrats on getting the trial Kirsty. Hope it goes well for you. My new computer arrived today :D I just got a new base unit thing instead of having the other one repaired because it's quite old and wasn't that expensive anyway. We had a bit of a problem connecting the monitor so I didn't think I would be able to use it today.

Yesterday and today I've had an extra free because my Psychology teacher hasn't been in. If he's back tomorrow I'll end up having two tests on the same day :( Test on Friday too and we were meant to have one on Thursday but we won't be having it because the teacher has to take the Young Enterprise people (including me) because the other Business teacher doesn't have a licence to drive the minibus. Nice way to get out of way too many tests this week anyway.

Year 11 at my school finish tomorrow for Study Leave. I kind of want to finish because I'll have more time to revise but kind of don't because I won't have many more lessons before the exams.

Anyway got Business coursework to do now and some revision later so I'll stop writing an essay now lol. I can't type on this new keyboard, its taken me way too long to type this.

Abigail
10-12-2008, 13:58
My 2000 essay is complete. Could have done a lot better on it though. I was in the library until 2.30am trying to do it. I gave up in the end and my friend brought me food so we sat and talked for an hour. Going to hand it in soon.

Loads of sorting out and packing to do before I go home tomorrow. I still have to add references to my other assignment beforeI hand it in tomorrow.

I really could scream and it seem's like a total petty problem now :crying: .

My best friend and her boyfriend have been dating for at least 9 months now (which i'm fine with) but now i never get to see her at school, i use to see her nearly all the time before she started dating him and now i hardley do. & when i do it's with him and i feel so down. They don't seem to understand that i don't mind them doing stuff but it get's a bit annoying if it's constantly (that might sound mean but i don't know how to explain it) and then for this christmas party we were going to go together and have a laugh (and i didn't think he was coming) but now he is and i'm dreading it cause he'll be stuck to her like ####### glue all night:angry: . He doesn't get any of the jokes we say and can't take a laugh. I was explaning something to her today and he went "so" and i just turned around and snapped at him. It's soo annoying and i feel like i'm losing my best friend :crying:.

i need help cause i know i need to talk to her but i don't know how or when cause they're always together but i don't want to lose her at all. :crying:

CrazyLea

Aww, Tannie, this is a common occurence with friends, when one of them gets romantically involved, then the other friends feels left out because they don't spend so much time together anymore. Perhaps you could write her a letter, to tell her that you are worried about losing her friendship but that you are happy for her to have her boyfriend and whether it is possible for just the two of you to spend a little time together again. Your friend probably feels torn between spending time with her bf and you as well. :)

Is it possible to combine the two? A voucher and a handmade christmas card or some homebaked biscuits/chocolates? Just an idea. :)

Kirsty :]
10-12-2008, 20:33
Tannie, I've been in your situation and it's really not nice I know, but there's not alot you really can do. Me and my friend used to argue and argue about it, and it would get us somewhere for a few days/weeks and then it would go back to the normal, it was the same cycle over and over again.. and that put more strain on our friendship than us not spending much time together on the first place. Then, I made friends with her boyfriend, I really didn't think much of him at first but then got to know him and he's a really ncie guy and he's one of my good friends now :) You jsut get used to not seeing them much.. I still see her, not as frequent, but when I do it's really ncie because it's somethign different :)...just try not to let an argument erupt and maybe the party will be good for the 3 of you, maybe you and your friends boyfriend can get to know each other :)...Sorry for the essay.

And Lea, neither of your options is tacky, and if someone hand made me something I'd be sooo over the moon that they took time and effort to make something for me that I could keep nice :) and I've made cakes for my friends before for brithdays and that and they've gone down really well :)

Alright day, I was supposed to go to rehearsals for our "nativity play" (I say nativity, but Sixth Forms version.. slightly comediatised haha, I'm the star) but I oculdn't go because I had to babysit my sister so that my Mum could go to the emergency dentist as her tooth is really playing her up.
Not done alot other than that. Me and my Nan had an Indian :) and my aunty and cousin came over too.

Now I'm just going to have a bath, make some lit notes and go to bed.. then partayyyy tomorrow night which I'm well excited for :D:D

I have to dress up for the thing I'm going to tomorrow; my mum's put all my Busines type clothes in the wash... oops.

I asked my Mum to get proof of posting on my friend's birthday card as it had an iTunes voucher and £1 in it (she's 16 on Friday so I thought £1 per year would be good) and I don't see her much because she lives 6 miles away so it has to be posted. She only went and got recorded delivery on it instead and my friend's family are never there when the post arrives.

Economics test :eek: 24/25 and I only got the one wrong because I changed the answer to a wrong one at the last minute. Someone with much better GCSE's than mine got exactly the same so I was happy even though I could have had 25.

Had to take a DVD back to Blockbusters this evening. It was supposed to go back on Sunday :ninja: My friend told the woman that it didn't work (we hadn't had time to watch it) so she cancelled the late charge and gave us two nights for free :D

We decided to have something to eat so I made poached eggs on toast, except I haven't ever poached eggs :rotfl: It was fun, I put an egg in an the pan boiled over so there's egg stuck to his cooker and pan. There was more egg left on the pan, cooker and in the bin than on our plates :lol: Then we watched the DVD, I got scared, screamed a few times and kept jumping. We were watching Prince Caspian :ninja: It's a PG! Sam kept laughing at me then he said something really random.

If you were an 18 year old girl.. would you rather someone use a voucher to buy you a christmas present or hand make something yourself ? I feel tacky either way :( At my wits end here!!!!

Is it possible to combine the two? A voucher and a handmade christmas card or some homebaked biscuits/chocolates? Just an idea. :)

Handmade Christmas cards = sore subject. We were selling them at a trade fair for Young Enterprise today and we still have about 74 left! We want them all gone by Monday, tall order I think. We had the teacher take us to it in the minibus and we have £6 net profit. Baddddd. We thought we'd won today because they were describing a 'creative company' and the company that won looked like they'd just bought a load of christmas cards and sold them on! :banned: It was a laugh but that won't help us win the Area Finals! Some judge thinks we have a good chance but I don't see how after the winners they chose today.

Well the voucher was for woolies and apparantly they're not taking them now :cries:. Hand made gift it is lol!

Kim
11-12-2008, 18:10
The judges said ours looked professional, it's just a sore subject with the group because they didn't sell well; a load of people had already sent their Christmas cards.

Handed my last assignment in. Did a lot better on this one than the crime and deviance. Had lots of stuff to sort out before I leave tomorrow. I got roped into cleaning the kitchen up, it looks like it did the day we moved in. Still got to tidy up, hover, dust and take a dvd back to Blockbusters.

I'm actually rather liking some of the gifts I made my mate. Not finished yet, but I'm getting rather into haha!!!!

So far I have made
- A photo merge of her and all of us, which I will print out when the printer decides to print and put glitter and all around it :D.
- A snake
- A book of her favourite things (pictures) << all glittery and stuff :D

I'm also going to make a santa finger puppet, a snow man finger puppet, write a short funny christmas story which includes all of us, tree bauble and a christmas flag lol... possibly more if I think of stuff haha.

I love that my college is next to a rugby grounds. Every now and then they have a match and the college closes for the day. :D

Went shopping with my mum and got some short leather boots with heels :D and a couple of jodi picoult books to boost my collection. :lol:

My ankle is aching after all that walking. Ouch.

My sister and I need to go shopping for the parents though. :rolleyes: I've got my mum a Katie Melua collections cd and thats it. :p

I've had the cold since Monday, I only had it a couple of weeks ago and it's comeback again. I think I may have caught PB bird flu when she sneezed on shoutbox at the weekend.

Lea your mate will love her pressies as it's the thought that counts not the cost of the gift and you have put a lot of thought and effort into her presents. Chris don't go to too much expense on my Christmas present, I'm easily pleased just Kiefer gift wrapped and a box of fredo bars will do nicely. :lol:

Sam is the one who I almost slept with twice over the weekend. I didn't want to be the girl who practically forced herself on him last Sunday (he came on to me when we were in bed). I do have the pleasure of being the only girl he has ever shared a bed with and not had sex with.

We had fake christmas yesterday we all bought presents from poundland! Joky ones it was really cool. I got some great football fan socks.

Just got to pack now, its a very slow process. Watchign DVD s instead.

I got a bit tipsy last night so a bit worse for wear.

12-12-2008, 18:29
Im exhausted, drama exam went well.
There were some parts that went better in the dress but oh well
AND we had the sugar glass bottle :D It was amazing, when I screamed and smashed the bottle on the floor it went everywhere and was really cool
But now im aching a lot, stupid physical theatre :p

Abigail
12-12-2008, 18:45
Finally home for the holidays. I got an email earlier saying we don't have to be back until the 12th Jan. I have an exam on the 5th so I either go on the Sunday and come back home on the Monday for the rest of the week or I stay there. Hmm, I don't know what to do yet. I think five weeks at home with my mum will lead to one of us killing each other.

Going to have a shower and an early night. I don't think there's been a night this week when I haven't been to sleep before 4am. Tomorrow I'm going to put the christmas tree up.

Kirsty :]
12-12-2008, 18:54
I'm sooo tired.
Last night didn't help!
I got in from school and have been watching my brother and sister at my Nans on my own from half 3 until about 6 as my Mum isn't well. Was hard work and my sister wasn't happy tonight.
Going to my friends house tonight with a few friends, we're going to watch Christmas films and order food. Should be fun

We sold most of the cards :eek: There's only about 10 left, there were about 70 when we got back yesterday!

Completely messed up my Economics test. I spent far too long on the lower mark questions and then realised I'd answered one of them using the wrong extract :(

Kirsty :]
13-12-2008, 00:29
I had a good night in the end, it was a sort of mix of our friends... it was odd but really nice as it was different conversations :)
We went out to get food and then when we got back watched some of our friends show on her dvd and we all jsut talked loads about everything possible lol and then we watched Saw 4, yuck yuck yuck. The film is sick and scary.. but it scares me even more to think about the writers, and how they come up with gruesome things like that lol.
I'm going to do some more Christmas Shopping tomorrow, if I can get myself out of bed.. I'm having a much deserved lie in! Haha :D

Katy
13-12-2008, 09:22
Good idea on the lie in , we watched films last night, and had toast as we realised as well me and my mate were the only two in the house and the wind was scaring us too much to even go out bread was the only edible thing in the house! It was fun, We watched Love Actually and the Mischief Night, THe whole series 2 of the Office and an episode of Cracker. it was a nice night though. I don't think id have liked it if i were in the house on my own though, it makes weird noises when there are not six of us in it!

I should be in bed but my dad has already left manchester and my room looks like a bomb has dropped on it! ! ! so i have a bout an hour before he gets here to pick me up.

I don't like Saw its not horror its just gore there is no point to it, the first one was ok but i not seen any after 2, i dont like that sort of thing.

Im soooooo tired

For some strange reason it feels like the hoildays already. Its been such a long weekend, I babysat on friday and then went xmas shopping yesterday and babysat again. The this morning woke up and gave my mum her birthday present then went back to bed
I still havent recovered from thursday night, (drama exam), we were gonna go shopping in manchester today but I was too tired and didnt really think I needed to go, so just my parents have gome. tbh ive bought everything I need to at the moment, other stuff I can get in town, I sorta wish I went now but then again im glad I havent cos I would have ended up spending money on myself, or getting bits of presents that I didnt need to get, im just gonna stick to what ive planned, cos at the end of the day im still trying to save money at the moment, and a few people owe me money so im a bit down at the moment

14-12-2008, 14:21

Last day of rest today then I'm going to start on lab reports and revision tomorrow. Only three weeks until my exam and I haven't started revising yet. There's not a great deal to do, only seven lectures' worth.

Can't be bothered to do anything today...I have work but not a major amount and I don't know why our Biology teacher is making us research genetic diseases now when the coursework is due in February. I do like this module though its interesting so far. We did some experiment with DNA last lesson.

14-12-2008, 14:48
We spent over a year doing our biology A2 coursework Kasple. Started straight after AS exams and didn't hand it in until the deadline the following May. I didn't mind as we spent an hour of most lessons going over coursework, which was better than doing an extra hour of work. I hated that subject at A2.

StarsOfCCTV
14-12-2008, 15:03
Woahh...This coursework is only a leaflet worth 10 marks though. The major one is 26 marks on building a bioreactor and testing it. We also have a chemistry one worth 26 marks. Nice of them to make them both due in on the same day. :rolleyes: They are April ones though I think.

Abigail
14-12-2008, 15:15
Start your research now then you won't have a shedload of work to do when it comes to writing them up. I made the mistake of leaving my 2000 word assignment until the night before it was due in, I hadn't even looked through the reading list as to what I should be writing about. Big mistake and one stress I could have done without.

I think I'm going to tidy my room and put my clothes away after I've got dressed. Feeling in a productive mood today :D

Ughh this cold is bugging me.
Todays been alright.
Didn't do alot school wise, had to finish an essay in my first RE class, but in the second class last lesson our teacher brought in muffins and stuff and we had Christmas music and hot chocolate and sorted out the Christmas concert for Friday. It was fun :)

Me and a friend had a bit of a barmy. I'm trying desperately to sort out what me and my friends are doing for Christmas, in the end we were all up for Secret Santa, so we went in at dinner and told this girl it was her idea in the first place) then she started ranting on about having no money and all that. She has a job. I know she has her family and boyfriend to buy for, but so dot he rest of us.. well I don't have a boyfriend to buy for but my family is huge, I'm paying out for 9 people yet I'm still trying to make something nice work for our friends...and I don't even have a job! I'm fed up of trying to organise stuff and having it thrown back in my face. :(

15-12-2008, 17:05
Right well tbh im fair peed off at someone at school today. She goes oh i've got your present with me and she goes ive taken the tags of cos it had the price on it and then i opened it when i got home and its her jacket that she said is too big for her :S i just opened and was like? tbh i think its dead cheeky giving something second hand and claiming that youve actually bought it and the reason im annoyed is because she knows ive spent £17 on her present and fair enough its not about money but dyano what i mean? id rahter not get anything than have something that shes just wrapped up and not thought about.

And i know that it sounds really unappreciative (sp?) but I always try and put loads of thought into christmas presents 'cause I like to think other people do the same if you get me.

And now reading this back I feel like I sound really cheeky but she did it last year as well and gave me and my other friend a teddy that was from her bed and some half used perfume and its not like she skint or anything because she gets £100 a month for working as a waitress and if she was i'd tell her not to get me anything and save the money for family and stuff.

Anyways. Rant over. I sound ungrateful now so im going!! :lol:

CrazyLea
15-12-2008, 17:09
Don't sound ungrateful to me. I'd be annoyed too. Keep what you bought her and give her the coat back :lol:.

I'm so fed up at the moment.

Feel like my family's just going to burst, and in a way i'm toeing the line with my dad which i wouldn't normally do cause he can be scary!
My mum feel's like she's smothering me and i know it's cause she loves and care's for me but i've had it ever since i got burnt when i was 9 and a half months old an i've just spoken to her about it and as perusual she got her own way.

Basically i was ment to be helping out at the chirstmas concert tomorrow evening at school. Start's about 7 and i don't know what time, but now i can't go cause my mum's on day shift and she has to know i'm home before she can go to sleep.

Plus i have a cold and feel so choaked up it's unbelivable. Just want to go to bed and curl up and sleep forever

:crying: :thumbsdow

EDIT: I've basically just cried with laughter :lol: over god knows what:P

I got a B in Economics!! For completely messing up Section B which is worth the most marks, I am SO happy! 12/12 on one of the questions, I can't believe it. I spent nowhere near enough time on that one. Ran out of time on the last question.. it showed lol 11/25. I have an evaluation to get started on now; spent too long laughing in Business.

Second hand Christmas presents; tell me about it. I think it was last year that I had a second hand bottle of body spray that wasn't even a brand name from one of my closest friends. Considering she's just got my friend a brand new Sarah Jessica Parker one for her birthday, it's now more ridiculous. The second hand one she gave me she even left the top off of; how much more obvious can you get?

Had to rebook my holiday flight because OH does not get back in time tomorrow, so we now have to get up at 2 am (some of you will still be chatting in the shoutbox :) ) on Thursday to go to the airport. Change of tickets cost me an extra £320 which OH' company is supposedly going to pay. I certainly hope so because this has now gone right up to my credit limit as I have already booked next summer's holiday flights because they get too expensive.
One day less holiday, but I shall survive. Just waiting for confirmation that the car hire is sorted as we are changing airports in Spain too. :)

Kim, second hand christmas presents are the worst.. my friend got me a book, haven't opened it yet but I know it is an autobiography of some famous person cause she asked me to read it after her.. Last year she gave me a diary and pen set but you could clearly see it was second hand as it was all grubby like it was opened, and then put back in the box

I am just getting annoyed now at work cause nobody is listen to me.. I keep telling them stuff and then 2 hours later they still don't get it and I repeat myself but they don't listen at all.. :angry:

We had mock interviews today in school for University. It was scary but I'm glad I had a mock interview now so I know where to improve :)
Went to town then with some friends and we got food and did some Christmas shopping.. or tried anyways. It was impossible to do with 3 boys! and another 2 girls. I managed to get2 things though which I'm proud of :)

I'm at home now watching my dancing dvd with a cuppa. I'm sooo going back to Slimming World after Christmas :eek:

Another Economics test today... questions were so random.

Christmas presents :( I gave my friend a £16 thing from the body shop and a pack of chocolate coins. She gave me one of those £1 tiny boxes of Celebrations and a tiny bag of non-brand name body stuff. If it was much smaller I would need a magnifying glass! She can't have spent more than about £3 on me! It wasn't even wrapped! :angry: Wish I'd taken hers in tomorrow now, then I would've at least kept the chocolate coins.

Present from another friend is tiny. I didn't get her as much as I've only known her since I started 6th form but I bet I've still spent about 3 times as much on her as she has on me.

Dog has to go to the vet at 6 :(

Kim, did you not agree on a budget before you bought presents? Not everybody has the money to spend £16 on each person. Be grateful for what you've got, there are millions of people in the world who won't get anything this year.

Done some revising today. I underestimated the amount of work I have to do in less than three weeks. What a fun Christmas break this is going to be :D

Going to a christmas bash at the pub on Thursday night. Will be an early one as the pub closes at 1am. Might end up at 'Spoons or somewhere that's open until later. No way I'm coming home after a night out at 1am :nono:

Got a bit of more xmas shopping done today :p

Oh! and I got an A in my geography mock, I was happy :)

Kim

It wouldn't annoy me so much if I knew that my friend didn't have a lot of money, but I know she has loads. I'd have much preferred a framed collage like one of my friends got from her friend who left the school; it seemed like a lot of time, effort and thought had gone into that, and only the frame would have actually cost money.

We don't agree budgets, but this is the first time that the money spent has not been about the same in terms of what we've given out and what we've got from that person.

Well done Abbie.

I went into my mams school yesterday to watch the nativity and helped out thill the end of the day we made christmas tree decorations! It was very messy indeed!

Today i just got more telly watching, more revision and then meet my firends out later.

Kirsty :]
18-12-2008, 17:39
Ahhh well done Brains! :D

Had my hair done today :) I quite like it, though it's quite dark and quite blonde lol

In a bit of a dilemma. Told my friend yesterday I'd go to a party tonight, but thing is.. 2 of my friends have dropped out so there's 3 of us left, but I have no money. I need to get Christmas over and done with but I don't want to let her down either because I wouldn't like it if someone did that to me

Trinity
18-12-2008, 17:48
We do a secret santa at work. Pull a name out of the hat and get a present for that one person - everyone gets one present and there is a budget of £5.

I do this with a group of friends from school too - we all have families and it can get too expensive to buy presents for everyone. this way it is a group thing and not too expensive either.

Kirsty :]
18-12-2008, 17:57
yeahh we did Secret Santa with friends and the budget is £10 whihc is ok. My family is really big though.. and we buy for everyone, so I'm finidng it difficult to stretch my money. I'll just have to figure out my money, write everything down and keep track.

Kim
18-12-2008, 19:07
The teacher hadn't marked the tests we did in Economics so she will email us what we got over the holiday. I'm not going to want to look at my emails now :lol: Bet the person who moderates all school emails will love looking at what people got lol.

Last day today, as tomorrow is optional for 6th form :D Went to the chinese at lunch with friends and he was giving out pens. Makes a change from Christmas Calendars we get from the one in town. The man was asking me how to spell friend as English isn't his first language and he wanted to have a specially printed mug made for his friend for christmas... aww. :wub:

Debs
18-12-2008, 19:23

Abbie
18-12-2008, 20:41

Aww thanks Donkey :p


We did secret santa at dancing, I got some lovely stuff from the body shop :p mmm mango :p

Kim
18-12-2008, 22:10
I gave mango stuff to some of my friends! Other friend had olive for her birthday and I got coconut for myself. Everyone at school must thing I have an unhealthy obsession with that place because I've been taking my textbooks to in in bags from there for weeks! :lol:

Had a really good night out catching up with friends last night. Met a guy called Lee who lives in the next town to me. We got on really well, he was sober and I was slightly tipsy. I almost got his number but things kicked off between my friend and her dad and I was left to sort it :rolleyes: The night ended kinda badly, with me having to do some first aid on my friend and getting blood on my jeans. Some guy sat with me when I was doing it and gave me tinsel and baubles from the beams in the pub. Had to sneak out the back to make sure I wasn't caught :p

I wish that just for once, somebody else would take responsibility when we're out if things go wrong. They could see that I was talking to this guy outside the pub but they still insisted on shouting to me that they were going to the pub a few doors down, ruining the moment.

On the downside, he did look like my old english teacher, who I hated.

I really hope I see Lee again :( Even if he has got a girlfriend. He wouldn't have spent all that time talking to a drunk lass if he wasn't interested. He tried to teach me to play pool but I just embarressed myself.

Anyway, enough waffle about my night out. Need to text my friend now and see if she's ok.

Staying in bed today, don't have the energy to do anything.

Kirsty :]
19-12-2008, 14:40
I'm ahving a pretty good day :).. apart from a headache lol

We did our Sixth Form Christmas concert today and squirty creamed 2 of the teachers :D Haha! We did our own version of the nativity aswell and I was the North Star lol and then we did the dance to Jump on it which was really really fun :D

Then I came home and had a driving lesson, my instructor misbooked me so I onyl had an hour rather than 2, but was told that on my next lesson we will decide a dtae for my driving test! Scary stuff! Haha

I have to go to town now and buy my Dad a birthday present as it's his birthday and then I plan on spending the evening over my Mums :)

Day's been ok - been watching DVDs most of the day and I've had a nice spring clean on MSN - got rid of most of my contacts that I don't speak too and set up a new account.. I had my other one for 7 years!

.. Parents arguing last night just because my mum went out for a night out with some friends.. sounds like they've sorted things out now though.

This weekend i haven't really done anything. Althrough i'm quite chuffed cause i'm dating someone again whom i've already dated (but i do really like him always have done actually =$ ) but keeping it on the low cause my relationships haven't been the greatest.

Helped my grandma out but then she got all moany when i couldn't pause the thing i was doing on her DS and then said i was arguing when i wasn't i was stating a fact. She's starting to irritate me now.

My dad's due home tomorrow till the new year so all chuffed about that:Dx and then my gran's coming down on xmas eve cause it's a tradition that she stay's plus I'm going to the German Market in Edinburgh on xmas eve, actually had to stop myself from going over yesterday cause it'll be much better on xmas eve.

Got all my christmas pressies bought minus my brother's but i think my mum's got that not to sure through i'll have to ask her about it tomorrow.

My english teacher wanted an essay handed in on thursday (second last day of term) and she said if we didn't complete it then she want's two essays on the first day back but i just can't be bothered doing it:angry: Although Educating Rita isn't as hard as i had expected!:Dx

Large essay style my english teacher would be so proud of me:rotfl:

Bah humbug, friend in hospital again :( Not the one accessible by bus either. Earlier I wasn't too happy that my dad was thinking about putting me down as a named driver on the Nissan (because I hate Nissans) when I'm learning, now I wish I could drive the thing :(

Kirsty :]
21-12-2008, 23:45
Hmm, had an alright night. Went bowling and had a boogie on the dance mat, then went looking about at Christmas lights :) but there's a bit of commotion between 2 of my friends and it's rubbing off aon us all and there's loads of tension, so not that great if I'm honest. Oh well.

22-12-2008, 13:48

Im soooo lucky :D

I just got a call from one of the parents of the younger ones at dancing, but shes more like a friend to us older ones and she is the woman who got me in touch with all these people who I babysit :p anyway she works at next and shes asked me to work there at Next on the 27th 3-9! :p Im sooo lucky another job :D well this one is just the once, but maybe they might keep me on, I know they take on a lot of xmas staff but you never know, and if they dont keep me never mind at least I'll get some money for 6 hours work :D
I owe so much to this woman :p

Been at my sister's since Saturday, got back about half an hour ago. Going to have a snooze, unpack my bag and watch some tv.

My friend who I bought the present for (the one I was talking about on shoutbox on Friday night) text me on Saturday to tell me not to bother buying her anything as "we're students now and it's one less thing to think about." I hade left her a message on facebook asking what time would be best to take her card and present round (when I had got round to buying it).

Thinking about it, we've hardly spoken since August and we haven't seen each other for months. I'm back in touch with some old friends now, which I'm happy about. Don't get me wrong, I really like Rachel and she's a good friend but I feel more comfortable with my old friends, the people who I've grown up with and known for years. Even if they do ruin my chances with a great guy :p

Happy Birthday Bryan! :D

Ugh what a day.
Went Christmas shopping..but didn't actually get alot. That will be the deed for tomorrow then, greattt
Me and my friend went to get the Secret Santa presents as we were all going to meet up tonight, but oh no.. 2 of our friends are being awkward and want to do it on the weekend instead because they haven't even finished their Secret Santa. They bug me sooo much, on the note that they sat online talking about it to each other and complaining when they could've got off their bums and into town to sort it out, but they've made everythign complicated again... as usual. I'm really annoyed and I really don't want Christmas to come.. I wish it would just go away. :(

So now I'm not sure what this evenings plans consist of.. brillianttt.

I am in such a good mood today and my dad yelling at the xbox doesn't even make me mad.

Listening to Paramore - Decode over and over again love the song load's it's in twilight and i now want to go see that movie! Back to my paramore obsession.

Thanks to bree i'm obsessed with tao again. How i love her:p and bree ofcourse i can't forget bree at all!

It's christmas tomorrow and i feel like i'm 5 again! i'm that excited :lol:

My room now officially feels like my room, Moved upstaris and it's got all my stuff in it like teddys and books and dvds and all that junk and i love it!!

Edit: And i'm obsessed with word challenge on facebook but a certain person *cough*Leanne*cough* has the high score out of all my friends and i can't beat her how did you get 11606! I can;t beat that but it's addictive lol!

Last minute shopping today. Luckily it's just money and a bottle of rum for my mum. Need to get some pencils and paper for my neice too. Not sure where I'm going to get them from seeing as Woolies has nothing and we don't have a proper stationers. I'm hoping Tesco will have something.

We're having turkey tomorrow. Really pleased because duck gets boring after a while and I've never had pheasent or goose. Four birds for five people, looks like we're going to be having cold meat sandwiches and salads for the next few weeks.

Kirsty :]
24-12-2008, 14:34
Finally finished my Christmas Shopping today. Bah humbug. I can't wait until tomorrow is over with.

Babysitting my sister now for a bit whilst my Mum wraps presents and that.
Then off to my friends house this evening as it was her birthday yesterday but she was in NY so she's having a few of us at hers tonight... hopefully that'll get me in the Christmas spirit.

Abigail
24-12-2008, 15:46

Was it good? I was forever put off by going to midnight mass at a Catholic church. I thought it was going to be short no....hour and a half. :lol:

We've been gorging ourselves on Quality street and Kettle Chips this evening. :lol: Sprinkled catnip on the floor made the cats hyper and played with ribbons, tinsel and a laser pointer. Well sweet. Especially Basil who hardly ever plays nowadays! :D

There are Quality street wrappers all over the floor now. :lol:

It was pretty good. Some old chap fell asleep at the back of the church and started snoring loudly. I couldn't stop laughing during prayer, it was hilarious. It seemed to get louder whenever the vicar paused.

I went to the local parish C of E church, where I was a member many moons ago. The last time I went to church and Sunday school was about twelve years ago. It's nowhere near as cold as I remember it to be back in to '90s.

Tired now after half an hour singing carols and just over an hour figuring out what I should be doing (praying, standing, sitting, singing, I kept looking around to see what everyone else was doing) and trying not to laugh.

Got ready and went to my cousin's house around half 11 and stayed there till 9ish! - Had a really good time, me and my older cousin were making cocktails, mainly alcoholic ones, and they were nice as they weren't overpowering with alcohol so I am perfectly fine.. and I had quite a few :)

Played some games, watched first part of EE.. & Of course had a Christmas dinner and gave out presents etc...
Good times! :)

Hope all of you guys are having/had a brilliant Xmas too! xx

I didn't get up until 11am. There was nothing to get up for, we were opening presents at my sister's before dinner, which was at 2pm.

Pretty good day. Took my sister's dogs for a walk after dinner and got them in the mood for the boxing day shoot today. Saw my two cousins on my dad's side. I've seen the five year old about six times and the two year old twice since they were born. No wonder they have no idea who I am.

Today I'm going to get dressed (got up an hour ago) and do some revision. I'm feeling really guilty that I've only got through three lectures worth of information and my exam is in nine days. Going back to uni on Thursday so I'll get a few days of complete peace and quiet before people come back on Sunday for exam week. I really want to go back earlier but I don't get back from my sister's until Tuesday and I'm not missing NYE with my friends at home.

Went into Edinburgh for the sales as it's so much better then Dunfermline by miles! and only got 3 cds (but i didn't get much money this year) Got Britney spears - Blackout and Circus (Circus was only £9.99 so just had to get it!) Also got Chris Brown - Exclusive The Forever Edition. And their all going on my ipod :lol: I'm rather obsessed with it. Got some sweets from Thorntons to cause they were having a sale:p . Went on the big wheel to and the boy kept on spinning it which cause a lot of screaming and cursing from me then laughter from me and lucy was hilarious when he done it the second time then he done it another time then he never done it the third time so we burst into laughter and i yelled thank you:lol:. Were going to go ice - skating but it cost to much so we never but i really wanted to go but i needed the money iswell for the CDS.

The buses were getting a bit irritating so my dad came to pick us up, i asked him if he would pay for a taxi and he said no :(:lol:. In a way i was being seroius but i was also joking lol.

So all in all had a good day. Going to read Twilight and watch Mamma Mia again (i'm rather obsessed with that dvd like!:p)

Back to revision today.. I'm now hibernating until New Years Eve... because then I'm obliged to party :D Haha

Yesterday turned out fun in the end though :)
My friend didn't cancel her party because she was ill, she was fine.. but her boyfriend wanted to split up or something (it's long distance and so I think he found it difficult) anyways she didn't feel like it but her Mum has said we can have a party after January exams :D:D

So it ended up me and a few friends going bowling and then to see Yes Man... go and see it, sooo worth watching! I really didn't want to see it, but I'm glad I did now! :D

I'm going to cram lots of revision in today. When I get dressed :p Going to see my sister in Newcastle tomorrow until Tuesday then I'm going back to uni on Thursday for some peace and quiet. Not much time for revision and lab reports :( I feel bad for neglecting it. Good job the library is now open 24hrs a day.

Not looking forward to going back on the train. My suitcase was packed full when I came up, with Xmas presents and other stuff I've accumulated over the past few weeks it's going to be rammed. Might need another bag.

I need to read it by next week cause my mum want's to see the movie and i would like to read the book before i see the movie, but i have a funny feeling it'll get finished either today or tomorrow!

Well, silent night is still going on in my house since Christmas Day because OH did not appreciate my efforts on the Christmas dinner. Bit rich coming from someone who would give Alan45 a very big run for the money in being fooking opinionated (sp), sorry, but I am upset, he went out for dinner by himself tonight and is now in a pub, no doubt getting drunk. Sorry for the rant but I never claimed to be a brilliant chef and I ate all of my Christmas dinner. :angel: Ok, the roast potatoes were a little on the dark side. :o

Kirsty :]
27-12-2008, 20:10
Awww Perdita :D Don't worry about it!... Make him cook his own dinner from now on :p Did you have a nice Christmas apart from that?

Hmmm, so much for revision. I had to babysit my brother and sister and I'm back now.. but I keep getting distracted by my Nintendo DS lol. My files are out on my bed though... may go and do a little bit of RE revision now.

Perdita
27-12-2008, 20:16
Yes, thank you, I had a nice Christmas, nice presents, Il Divo CD from OH :cheer: , some D&G perfume :eek: (must have cost a packet) and some hair curlers which will never see the light of day after the first attempt, I can´t do my own hair in curlers. :lol:
Hope you all had a good Xmas :thumbsup:

Well I nearly got arrested for Granny bashing in tesco's today: Here's the story:

I bought Marley a wide-screen LCD TV/DVD with freeview included TV for Christmas, well today the bugger packed up on us we were just getting the red standby button and nothing else. I spent 20 minutes on the phone to the engineer were we tried different things to get it going but even he had to admit defeat. He gave me a reference number to take down to tesco's this would be comfirmation that I had called the helpline. So we went down to change the tv. There were two other customers before me and when it was my turn I had to go round to the other side of the desk I explained to the guy what had happened. No problem he said I will change it for you, great off he went to get me a new tv, he came back and I had to film out some forms, while I was putting the tv back into the trolly this battleaxe shoved me out the road waving a pair of shoes in her hand grumbling that the shoes were £6 in the shop but £5 in another tesco. Well I just gave her what for I said excuse me but I am still being served and there a queue.

Abigail

Oooh go you Kath :D What did the battle axe say to that? I love watching a good barney in a shop.

Chloe O'brien
28-12-2008, 00:11
She said aren't you finished? I said yes just but that's not the point if I had shoved you all hell would have broken loose and there is a queue, which there was. Honesty all because of a flaming pound difference in a pair of shoes, why didn't she just go the other branch and buy the cheaper ones.

Kirsty :]
28-12-2008, 00:19
:eek: You nearly got arrested for it! Wowww!
Ah well, go you! Yesterday I was shopping with my Mum and brother but we had my sister in the pram too, and some old lady proper tutted because my Mum was trying to get out of the shop with her and was saying excuse me but couldn't get passed. People annoy me sometimes!

I'm so tired... today has dragged big time :(

Kim
28-12-2008, 00:46
I have been beating my dad at Ten Pin Bowling on the Wii.. I think he's had enough of that game now lol; my record's 217.

My mum had to take Now 71 back to Sainsbury's today as I opened it on Christmas Day to find that it didn't have the first disc in it :eek: My mum said she would pay for another one if necessary and I really thought she would have to but she didn't. I'm now obsessed with it :D

Done some revision but I don't seem to have got the motivation that I wanted for Christmas :lol:

good day!\

phoned up Parcelforce to complain about my ASOS delivery being messed up, and they said it'll be on it's way tomorrow! Hopefully my All Saints jeans will come aswell, hope they come in a fancy box like the last pair :heart:

Also finished my 20 page docu-drama script. That was such a slog, but enjoyable at same time. Was doing it on the Birmingham Pub Bombings of the 1970s, so once the bombs went off in my script it was exciting to write! But glad it's out the way now!

No more work to be done now until I go back, so I can enjoy New Years. Seeing Yes Man on Wednesday with friends, then I'm spending New Years Eve at a friends house! First year i've actually done something for New Years, wont be too exciting, but it's better than staying at home! Then on New Year's day I think we're gonna go see the Spirit!

So yeah, not a bad week ahead! Then back to uni! Woooo! Can't wait! :D

Emmie
29-12-2008, 16:33

How do you actually play that game? lol. I just can't do it.. I go for a gentle swing and it doesn't do anything. Even my dad can't get less than a bogey.

I just look at the map on screen and use the up and down arrows to get the golf club that I think will be right for the hit, then I look at the wind and how that will effect my hit, and I just basically swing it as hard/gentle as possible making sure I press A... :)
