Monday, August 30, 2004 ( 2:21 pm ) I'm keeping a close eye on the weather forecast for this weekend. So far the BBC are only showing as far as Friday, but from Wednesday onwards there's lots of bright yellow suns :D Let's just hope that it stays that way for Saturday, and Sunday seeing as we'll be asleep in the garden for most of the morning :p I'll post the link of the site, just In case any of you want to keep an eye on it too :D http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3263 Dave won't be coming to the BBQ now. He has another engagement of somesort to attend. This once again leave me a tent short, so Danny is hopefully going to be able to supply one. If not I'll be well and truly panicing!
Sunday, August 29, 2004 ( 10:07 am ) Hello everybody! How is everyone? I'm quite wonderful actually, despite being tired and a little confused... But I won't bore you with that :PWell, I'll tell you why I'm tired... Went out yesterday to a waterways festival. We left at 7.30 and got home about 22.30. I was bloody pooped! It was a fun day though! I did archery, ate lots of pastry and viewed a few new narrow boats. I picked up all the information I need about buying a boat for myself. I could be paying up to £80,000 for one though :O Although I'm not ready to leave home just yet :D I don't wanna talk about why I'm confused... Actually if I knew why I was confused, I don't think I'd be confused :p I'm just hoping to clear up my confusion within the next week or so... And I may tell you all about it then... If things go the way I want them to :p 6 days till my BBQ. Yes, that means that it will all be over this time next week... It will also mean I'm hopefully about to eat Chinese food :D I still need to finalise a few things, such as final head count, food bills, and arrival times of practically everyone! I'm breaking out in spots all over my face, which is all I need really! I think it must be with the stress of the BBQ and anxieties from other things in my life. Grrrr, why isn't life simple?

My cholesterol results came back ok. The woman on the phone didn't tell me what the result was, exactly. She just told me I was normal, so that's all good. Been swimming twice since I last said anything here. I love swimming, I'd go everyday if I could afford it. When I go back to uni I might invest in a 19.99 monthly pass, so I can go in my free time to ponds forge. I might need to find a buddy to go with though :s I went out last night and had a cracking time, despite being ill at the moment. I only had to spend £1.40... *smacks Dave* :p Mind you, I shouldn't complain about it, he might stop spending his money :D Only 1 week and 1 day till my bbq now! And exactly 1 week today when Gem and Capps' lot turn up :D If everyone who I invited turns up I'll have about 16 guests, but some people haven't got in touch with me, so I may have to presume they're not coming. People who have confirmed their appearance are: Cappsy Gav Mark Gemma Danny Dave (vamp) Dave (vindi) Wendy Liam *Gets all excited* Song of the Day Artist: Beck Title: Soul Suckin Jerk Album: Mellow Gold Reason: Funny :D Monday, August 16, 2004 ( 9:38 am ) Well Jono may not be coming to my BBQ, but there's a Mark Day who is coming :D I can't wait actually. Every time I've seen him since we broke up we've never really got past the 'hello, how are you' awkward small talk. It's going to be great to see him for more than 5 mins, so hopefully we can get past the awkward and nervous feelings, and move on to becoming good friends. It better bloody happen now, anyway, coz I've psyched myself up for it! I've been doing lots of walking and out doorsy type stuff over the past couple of days. I went to the coast on Saturday, and we must have done about 6 or 7 hours walking, and although slightly achey, I'm actually feeling really good about it. This Saturday coming I'm going on the Tissington trail with my aunty and uncle. They do it often, and usually ride about 30 miles on hired bikes. So I'm muchly looking forward to that. Thirdly, I'm going to see Ocean Colour Scene. Cappsy wanted to see them in Sheffield, so I said I would go along, because I can keep him company and show him where the venue is. I'm actually excited about it, even though I'm not into OCS at all. Anyway, I was telling a friend of mine about it who I know though someone at Uni, and he's coming with us now. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D Song of the Day Artist: XTC Title: Yacht Dance Album: English Settlement Reason: It's wonderful! Play it Capps! Thursday, August 12, 2004 ( 10:58 pm ) Jono isn't coming to the BBQ.... ( 9:21 pm ) What a day! I was up bright and early for my appointment with the practice nurse at my local doctors surgery. I finally had the cholesterol test that my dad's doctor recommended months ago! So now I have a hole and a big bruise on my arm from the mean lady and her mean needle [-( On my way home from the docs I bought myself an ice lolly because I was soooo bloody hot, and I had yet to walk all the way back up a massive hill *falls off her chair thinking about it*. I was half way up when I walked past the infant school. At the moment it's havin a bit of building work done, so there were a few builders pottering around the place. You just know in moments like these that you're going to be getting a comment or two of some kind. You always expect the worst as well, like a comment on your appearance or something (My current appearance at the time was red faced, knackered, sucking on an ice lolly). All I got from one of them was 'you could have bought me one, love'. I smiled and upped my pace. I went out with my dad to various places in the afternoon. Visited a few rellies and the tip so mi dad could dump a couple of dated computer cases. It doesn't seem like a mammoth task, but it lasted a good few hours, and I was happy when I got home. I've shocked and stunned myself! I never thought I would become anything but a couple of one off posts on the BTLi forum, but in the last couple of days I've been promoted to 2nd Tech and I think I have made nice impression (Flirting with the male members helps :P ). I've posted more on there in two day than I have in about a month on rd.co.uk. Does this make me a bad person, or do you think it's a way to stimulate myself with something new and refreshing? I suppose I have got a little bit sick of the official board, but I'm sure the dry spell will pass soon enough. It seems to be happening to more people than just me though, a lot more people seem to be posted less and less, which is a shame really. *yawns*
Tuesday, August 10, 2004 ( 10:46 am ) I have found a tent! The lovely Dave (Vamp_D) is coming to my rescue complete with tent for two. Although I plan to fit four in there... it wont be too hard, I don't think. So far the people who have confirmed they're coming are: Wendy Liam Cappsy Gavin Dave (Vamp) Danny Gemma Dave (Vindi) There's no Jono or Simon on that list at the moment, which makes me quite sad :( I hope they can make it, especially Jono... *sigh* Why is The Sims so addictive? I can't stop building houses and making people rich. I have one woman who's a master criminal and earns £1,100 a day. She has a cat named Max and also has a husband, Smithy, and a son, Paul. Wonderful! I might have to organise a BBQ for them :D Song of the Day Artist: Jeff Buckley Title: Last Goodbye Album: Grace Reason: Tis Pretty Monday, August 09, 2004 ( 9:22 am ) Today I will mostly be searching for nurseries. I was doing some extra reading into the teacher training course I want to go onto, and because I'm doing the early years one I can also have experience working in a nursery. Seeing as I failed tying to find myself a local Primary School to work for, I am now devoting all my time into Nursery work. I have very briefly worked in a nursery before, which may help. While I was at school I did 1 afternoon a week at Brook Hill Nursery... This is the nursery I'm hoping will employ me because... 1. It's just at the end of my road. 2. It's a private nursery and that will hopefully mean I don't have to deal with smelly children. Posh children don't smell, right? Or am I asking too much of them not to mess themselves, puke, or fart? Well it's Monday again, which mean neighbours is on... woohoo! I'm not lookin forward to next week though. It isnt going to be on because of the Olympic Games. Just as it gets interesting again they have to cut me off! Darren's back for goodness sake, I wanna see if he can seduce Libby again or not! I miss how neighbours used to be. All those really sad teenagers who thought they were the coolest, like danni, bret, Billy, Anne... ooooh Lance and Amy, Hannah Martin... I could go on :p I always feel really sad when Big Brother ends.... I hate to interrupt my Big Bother talk, But there seems to be a man lose in the village with a megaphone. I can't tell what he's saying or where it's coming from, but It's quite quite scary :s ANYWAY! Big Brother! I hate when it ends because I just wanna carry on watching them. The thought of the house being empty just makes me wanna cry... poor house :( 3 Weeks 5 Days
Wednesday, August 04, 2004 ( 1:30 pm ) I haven't used this much for a while, but everyone else seems to be making a huge effort so I'm going to try my best and think of something productive to say. I think I will talk you all through my plans for the BBQ so that people know what they are doing and what is expected of them :p The Date as it stands at the moment is September 4th, but I am still waiting for a few people to confirm their availability. Hopefully the weather will be still pleasant enough for us to cook and eat outdoors. If not, I do have a cooker :p First of all I will be asking you all (Very nicely) to hand over some money. It may seem a little rude to ask for money upfront, but I don't have any at all so if I have no money for shopping then you will not get fed :D I'm only going to ask for £5. I've decided I won't be going overboard this year with food and such. I will just get burgers, bread, drinks and maybe some doritos (That's only if Gemma is a good girl and joins in with the football). They'll be 11 people including me (If everyone I've invited can come), so that will give me £55 to play with, which sounds like more than enough, so expect change. I think people paid £5 last year too, but I don't remember because Capps was incharge of the money. I will probably go shopping on the Saturday morning with just a couple of people. Last year was really stressful, so I'm gonna learn by my mistakes and allow people to request food for me to get for them rather than have everyone chucking things in willy nilly. I think we will do the BBQ for late afternoon. I don't know who will be incharge of cooking yet, but I'm sure I can get someone to kindly volunteer *gets out some sharp implements*. In the early afternoon we can have a few drinks and fit in the football game. Drunk football will be the best option, I think :D As for times and days that people will be arriving. I haven't spoken to anyone about that yet, but I'm sure it will be similar to last year. I'm hoping Gem will be able to arrive on the Friday night again to save her having to get up too early to travel on the Saturday. Everyone else can turn up when they please... as long as it's in time for all the action :p At ease! Song of the Day Artist: XTC Title: Another Satellite Album: Skylarking Reason: |
