I have so much planned for the next 2 weeks. I dont think I’ve ever been this busy (and this happy about it).
My birthday money came on tuesday in a cheaque and I took it to the bank. It clears on Monday, but even before that, I have so much to do. Heres a quick summery.
I’m so excited. I really cant wait. Me and Nikki are buying new outfits for my birthday and some CDs so we can dance all night. My friend works at the pub we’re going to and we’re having a lock-in, as he lives in the flat above. Its just going to be close friends, but it’ll be so much fun. I just want everything to come quicker, but once its here, I’ll be wanting to slow down haha.
Sorry I havn’t been posting much, just making plans and going out a lot lately. I shall be posting a lot more in around 2 weeks when I have my own computer, in my room haha. Oh my god, I’m so excited!
I had a good day today. I went to town around 2pm and met up with some friends and then went the pub with Nikki. She bought be a coke haha. One of my friends work behind the bar in the pub we went into and he said ‘You best be in here on your birthday, I want to be the first person to legally sell you alcohol.’ So I got all excited that I can go in the pub on my birthday and get drunk haha.
My party has changed location. My friend Jake has moved out of Lauras flat, and his flat is closer to my house than Lauras, so the party is now there. Its easier and the walk home in the morning wont be so horrible haha.
Tomorrow I’m going to Jennys to sleep over. Its her birthday on saturday so a few people are staying and having a drink. I’m really excited coz I havn’t seen her in too long and I love getting drunk with her! She’s so much more outgoing and confident when shes drunk. She says things she wouldn’t normally say and we have the best conversations hehe. Her boyfriend Tom is there too and it gives me another chance to get to know him more. He’s such a lovely person, and hes more confident than the last time I saw him, which means I can talk to him easier.
I also can’t wait for London! Katy has booked the hotel, so we’re deffinetly going now. I’m just excited to shop and go to the museum.
I’m getting a new computer in the next 3-4 weeks so I’ll be blogging a lot more. At the moment, my mum just hogs the computer from dusk til dawn, but when I have my own, she’s not allowed on it, AT ALL! She downloads so many silly things that appear on my desktop, it scares me how much space she is taking up with things shes seen online and gone ‘Ooo thats good, I’ll download it!’
Thanx to everyone who’s still reading, I know I’m boring =).
Until my birthday! I’m so excited. Not for that fact that my age changes and I can do things legally. Just coz I know everything is gonna start going good from that day.
My plan for my actual birthday is to stay home the night before, wake up, spend time with my mum, go and see Katy and Meghan and then go to town, spend some money on a new outfit, go to Lauras and have a few people round and get drunk. I just hope it all goes to plan.
Yesterday, I went to see Katy for a few hours and during those few hours we had a KFC. Whilst I was enjoying my burger, I felt something happen in my mouth that wasnt normal. So I went into the kitchen and emptied my mouth into a tissue to fine that half of one of my molar, literally, fell off. So today, I phoned about a million dentists and only one, would give me an emergancy appointment, which I am due at in 50 minutes. They said they will just fill it in, put me on the waiting list and then when I get my actualy appoinment they will see to it properly. I dont know how long I will have to wait, but I know it will deffinetly be done before christmas haha.
After the dentist, me, Katy and Meghan are going into town to buy Alex’s birthday presents. I have no idea what to get him at this point, but I’m just gonna buy him something, when I get my own birthday money. I’m sure he will understand that I’m really broke.
I’m going to start updating more, I know I always say that, but I really am going to try. I get my own computer soon, so my mum cant hog it and I can go on whenever I want. My room is almost decorated, just have to wallpaper and paint. Katy is coming round on sunday, to help me move my bed and furniture in, so I’ll be sleeping there sunday night. I think I’m more excited about having a new room, than I am turning 18.
But nothing beats going to London! (read here =] )
I know its been way too long since I last blogged. I don’t know why I haven’t been updating, but I’ve really missed it. I started writing in my diary again so maybe that has something to do with it. I’ve been reading a lot more too, which is good. I’ve missed reading. It all started when I decided to read all the Harry Potter books in one go. It took me about a month and a half, which is a big improvement to last time (about a year.)
I’ve found a new author who I really like, her name is Kate Long and she writes books based in near Wigan, which is where my dad (and his whole family) grew up. Its funny to read in my dads accent and its making me speak more like that than usual, which my friends find highly amusing. I reccommend the books anyways =).
My birthday is coming up soon, (only a month and 2 days to go.) I’m looking forward to being 18. I’ll be able to buy my own cigarettes, go to the pub with Mike and Nikki on a friday, although I probably wont be drinking with them, just sitting in, having a nice Coke. I dont like alcohol too much, not in the day anyways. Mike goes the pub around 3pm every saturday with his friends and comes out around 7.30 pissed as a fart. Dont know how he does it to be honest. I can only drink if I know I can go to bed whenever I want to, as soon as I’m drunk normally haha. I wouldn’t like to get the bus home at 8pm and want to go to sleep.
Me and my friend Mike (not my boyfriend) have made a pact that we’re to go out, once a month (when we get paid) and spend some time together. We normally go to Manchester, I really enjoyed myself last time. Its nice to spend my money on clothes and a day out rather than fags and bus fair to town throughout the week. This month he’s bringing his girlfriend Kate along as it will be her birthday the day we’re going. It should be a nice day out.
My mum and dad go back from a holiday yesterday. I missed them so much, more than last time they went away. I must admit, it was nice to have the house all to myself and have anyone stay whenever I wanted, but it was weird aswell. One night, I had a few people round and I was so tired and wanted to sleep but couldn’t because I had to make sure the house was ok, and I just wished my mum would come round the corner and ask what I was doing, lay on my bed at a weird angle haha. I think I did well keeping the house clean and tidy though, they were quite impressed when they got home.
Tomorrow I’m babysitting Meghan from 11am til around 4/5pm. It will be nice to spend some time with her on my own. I plan on taking her to the library around 11.30am. I want to get some books out and return the ones I’ve either read or dont want to read anymore. At the moment I’m reading ‘Swallowing Grandma’ by Kate Long and its really good. Her books seem to be so-so at the beggining but after a few chapters you can’t put it down.
My wrist hurts from typing so I’m going to go read for a while. I hope this update was enough.
A couple of days ago, our washer decided that it didn’t want to work. When I say I didn’t want to work, I mean the door wouldn’t close. So, after a bit of hassle, my dad agreed to buy a new one, as getting the door fixed would have cost about the same. And considering we’ve had that washer for over 5 years now, its makes more sence to get a new one.
The new washer is coming tomorrow (anytime between 8am and 6pm. Lets just say they’re always on time). So, with that in mind, it was our job to remove and disconnect the washer from where it is. I knew this wasn’t going to be an easy task, not because washers are heavy, no. But because my dad was involved. My dad is the kind of person you just have to cope with in difficult sitations, as (and I dont think he does it on purpose) but he panics easy, and when he panics, he just shouts and gets angry at whoever ‘isn’t doing it right’. So, he pulled out the washer and disconnected the water pipe, this is when the trouble started. The water went everywhere. All over my mum, all over my dad, all over the washer, the floor, the sink, the walls. It was quite amusing actually. But my dad got angry and screamed at me, (and by the way, I was just passing to go outside for a cigarette), to turn off the water mains. Now me being me, I have no clue where the tap for the mains is, so I asked where and he huffed and showed me. The pipe was very stiff and horrible to turn so as I tried my best, he kept shouting for me to turn it off. Once I’d finally got it, I laughed at the sight of them, but shut up as soon as my dad looked at me.
Once he’d let the pipe drain in a pan, he pulled the washer completely out. He asked me to get the bucket from inside the back room (which he’d just blocked any means of entry with the washer), so I pushed the washer back a little, got shouted at and came out with the bucket. We filled it up with water from the pipe that came out of the washer and my mum filled up the kettle. Now, if we need the toilet, we have to fill the toilet up with water from the bucket as or after we’ve flushed.
Its a bit of fun for me, but I think my mums a little frustrated.
