Thanks, got the results for the courses i wanted

Helped out at the horticultural fayre was so hot though! 26 degrees!

Afterwards was the charity auction and Ray Brooks paid £165 for his own jar of lemon curd! I blame my dad (they do this every year) and the women at the back right Was a fun two hours. For some reason my mum thought it was a good idea to get fish and chips to eat there for supper lucky it was airy

Our weekend started with going to the place we ordered a GPS ( or TOMTOM) of course this is a BIG BOYS toy,, so my partner had to play with it until he got it to work,, yesterday we were invited to a BBQ .. so we set in the address , he wants to FOOL the Tom Tom and go a different way ( hes testing and pushing the envelope) well the TomTom is alot smarter.. it adjusts to a different route to the same place,, ha ha ha ,,,We have not set in a specific VOICE yet,, I think he just wanted to make sure this 500+ euro device worked..this one covers all Europe, Canada and the USA,, so we are taking it to the USA with us , should be fun
We leave on Sept 4........... soooooooooo I get to go to the USA not once but twice this year
Today i am sorting out lists of things ,, like what to take in a certain piece of luggage,, we are taking 3 pcs, and packing a big duffle bag in one.. cos one suitcase belongs to my son..any way.. we are trying to TRAVEL LIGHT,, ain't no such thing in my vocabulary,, I gotta travel with every thing and the kitchen sink hee heee
Later every one muwahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I've had a great time in Ireland, we went to Cork and just picked places out on a map and visited them. Its a beautliful place a shame we had to come home. I feel all refreshed and nice after being in the fresh air alot, the weather was amazingly good as well. It was also my dads 50th so we went and celebrated that as well. We visited really great places its amazing that where we were staying was about a five minute bus ride into the city yet if you drove for another 20 in the other direction you were in the deepest countryside. It was amazing.

Anyway now back home got to sort out stuff for uni so dad is taking me shopping tomorrow, we are going to the lowry centre, i like it there as its got a few shops under one roof, its not to big, shopping isnt my number 1 choice of what id like to be doing.

I've had a rotten day. I was called for Jury service today. I tried calling the information line all weekend to see if I was required but it was out of service, so I had to appear at the court this morning. I sat around for two hours before they choose the names for Jury service. I wasn't selected so was told I was free to go but I would have to phone after 5pm tonight to check if I am needed tomorrow and the flaming line is contstantly engaged

That's the british justice system for you, i think its a bizarre way jury service but i suppose if your called you have to go even if it is a pain in the neck.

I got my university accomodation offer through today so i know where i will be staying in September. I 'm really excited now, i am going shopping for essentials today. The room has internet connection which i definitly not good for me, it is the bigggest distraction going. We'll soon find out though.

I'm registered with this site that offers free tickets to shows in london like mock the week and graham norton and they sent me an offer for next friday to see bremner bird and fortune...I'm so annoyed because I'll be starting college next week! So I can't go apart from that good day

Haven't posted on here for a bit, so here goes....

Last week - what a week. Firstly, my dad popped round to let me know that my Great Uncle had passed away 2 weeks previously (and that I'd missed the funeral) would have been nice to have had the option to have gone and said my goodbyes, but obviously couldn't. He had had cancer for 2 years and had kept going for a lot longer than anyone thought he would, but it was a peaceful end, which is the main thing.

Then on Friday, my stepgrandfather was rushed to hospital. He had MS and was chair bound, no mobility in his legs or from the waist down. They thought he had a stroke and that he definitely had pneumonia. Well, he lost the use of his body from the neck down following, was pretty unresponsive, couldn't talk or anything. He fought bravely for a few more days, but then sadly he passed away on Tuesday morning.

So not such a good time of it but for both, was a happy release for them both.

On Tuesday, I'd already promised Ste a trip, so amongst all of the Bank Hols traffic made our way to Wales and popped to Cardiff for the Dr Who exhibition which was pretty good - we both enjoyed it and Ci enjoyed spending the day with his nan at Diggerland.

Boys are back to school next Weds and I had forgotten so now it will end up being a rush job to get all of their things sorted out ready for then (and believe me, I'm not in the mood or the condition to be rushing!! )
