New car: Corsa SXI+

I've bought a new car! An '06 Corsa SXI+

I don't like 3 door cars or red cards but like MY 3 door red car! :P

CAMEL WANT BREADSTICK

We were at the Safari Park on Thursday and got this video of Nikki and a camel...
 

Sherlock + Watson

Just an update about Sherlock + Watson... They still hate each other!

Sherlock was castrated last year so is really laid back but Watson was too young so is still entire so he's aggressive and they don't get on.

They're only slightly friends when they're separated by 2 run panels - we tried 1 and Watson bit Sherlocks ear through it!

Sherlock lives inside and is a proper house rabbit but Watson lives outside in an eglu.

but does come inside too

Photo Wall

Revision was boring me so I made a photo wall...

Camping in Sussex - Bodiam

Have been Camping this week in Bodiam which is in East Sussex :)
There were 7 of us in the end so me + Mika drove down.
Down the M1, then queue's on the M25 as usual but we chucked on Aretha Franklin RESPECT and Valerie by Amy Winehouse and sang to all the other traffic so that kept us, and most of the other cars, amused for hours :P

Got the the campsite about half 8 and chucked up my 2 pop up tents which we kept everything in and then we all put up Cookie's 10 man tent that we slept in.
Drove to Sainsbury's to get munch (chicken + noodles!) and went back to cook it. Attempted to make a fire with charcoal which was a bit of a fail but me + George went to the woods to get a load of sticks and then there was a wood pile on the way to the loo's which we 'borrowed' some logs from so we weren't cold!

Next morning we had sausages + beans in a tin for breakfast and went to Hastings, played in the sea which was really cold...

then on to Eastbourne and then up to Beachy Head.

Stopped in Eastbourne again to go and play with Sketts ball on the beach.
Went to Te$co on the way back to get a disposable BBQ + a load more food + booze. Had chicken + mini jacket potatoes for tea, cooked on the BBQ + fire, and we made corn on the cob.
Actually had fire lighting gel, charcoal, proper coal + bags of logs tonight so had a big fire that lasted aages :))

Next morning we cooked toast on the fire that was still going from the night before and made a load of boiled eggs. Sat around the fire for ages, burnt things - camping chair, football, milk - packed up and left just before 3. Got stuck in loads of queues on the M25 'cos Mika took us the wrong way round, stopped at a couple of services 'cos Nikki needed a wee, dropped everyone back and eventually got home for about 8!

Trip to Wales! Vesey House, Aber + Snowdon...

Back from Wales!

We decided a couple days ago we were going to climb Snowdon and I said we should stop in Aber ... not exactly close but its closer than here!
7 of us went so 2 cars - me + George.
First went to Betws y Coed to see Vesey House, the house school used to own + where we went in Year 7. Was strange being back and that we recognised it, tis a Bunk house for tourists now so we got one of them to take a photo of us outside.

Then we carried on driving, parked the car + climbed up Snowdon ... sooo much effort + took 6 hours.
Went up the Pyg Track and came back down the Miners Track ... only diverted a bit, ended up climbing down a small waterfall and some of them went down a stupid incline ... I went the safe way with The Woman :P
Us at the top - 1085m high...

Near the car park we were driving along behind George's car + a lamb jumped out of nowhere, hit the back of his car + just stopped in the road! We stopped, a bws coming the other way nearly ran it over but Chris jumped out + chased it back over the wall.
Then drove to Aber. Got fish + chips and went to Spoons for pitchers of Purple Rain and Woo Woo.
Back to the house for a few drinks and then bed in the empty flatmates rooms and on the sofas!

Aching knees when we woke up. Found out the showers work but you have to open the window 'cos of the steam ... which looks onto the house window opposite - bit wierd?
We went to Machnylleth for breakfast, and then on to Aberdovey. Went on the beach, paddle in the sea and got ice creams, in the rain :)

Drove to Welshpool, filled up the car and then to Shrewsbury! Got nom + drinks and carried on home.

Think Grumps will get the subtle hint?

Think Grumps will get the subtle hint that I left in the kitchen? :P

IWantADevonRex

Want a Devon Rex cat

I've fallen in love with Devon Rex cats!

They've got really short fur with no top coat so me + Mother shouldn't be allergic to them, and females give off less allergens than males so would be even better.
They're really clever too! Can fetch and saw one that can unscrew bottles and 'talks' :P

Found some photos on Flickr ...

 Cute?!

Grumps has always said No but is just screwing his nose up now ... Mother + Nat like them :P

:))

Home :))

Home today!!
We got up uber-late so just packed and went straight down to town to get the train ... well, replacement rail service coach.
Took a few hours to get to Shrewsbury then Grumps picked us up in the new car :) I would say what it is but don't actually know. Black BMW of some description.
"Push that button" "Look at that" "Push that" Its got one of those posh screens in the dash + he loves it. Wants me to drive it but I'z not insured on it till August(?)

Got home about and went straight to see the chickens, obviously. Nommed some tea and went to Follys(Nan) which always means hot chocklit and cake :)

Went to town on the bus with Nat on Monday, bought some Krispy Kreme doughnuts + went to Costa 'cos we're really civilised.
Walked to Mothers office and drove home then went to see the bubbas next door. Rose was exactly the same as if I'd been there yesterday but Evie came + said hello for 10 mins :P Tommy is growing up aswell.

Oh yeah, I'm teething! Wisdom teeth are coming through!
Back of my mouth has been hurting since Weds but didn't think anything of it. Top right tooth is half through and that didn't hurt, but the bottom left which hurts has got nothing?!

Dropped Mother at work on Tuesday, came back and woke up Nat for school (I'm so grown up) and dropped him in at break. Really wanted to go in and see everyone but didn't have an excuse. Will do at some point soon though! :))
Back to pick up Mother and we went to Frankie + Bennys for nom (chicken pizza) and straight into Brum to get the train. Saw Danni Mac (cousin) in Urban then back on the train to Aber.
Cody got on in Wolvo then had to change at Shrewsbury to get a coach and Tom was on the same coach :)

Bro's visit Aber

The Bro's came up to Aber to see me this weekend! :))

They came up after school and had delayed trains so had to get it from Wolverhampton so I wasn't sure what time they'd get here but knew it was about half 9. Said they'd ring me 20 mins away so I'd go to the station and get them.

*brrrring ring* "We're at the door :)"

I was still in bed! My bad :P

We went to CKs to get drinks, had those and then went into town with Becky. Downeys ("Scary Pub") and then Yoko's/Why Not.
Was really tired but had a good night. Came back quite early + Danny proceeded to spend the next few hours being sick in the kitchen.

Good Times...

Adele - Someone Like You

Love this song.
Reminds me of Christmas, Driving along in the dark singing it with Nat and Home :')

Work Experience

Thinkk I mentioned it the other day, I'm getting kind of bored just being in the flat all day and with the same people. Only really recently so probs to do with exams, but thought I could try + get some work experience 'cos it'd be fun and is relevant to that there degree I'm meant to be doing :)

Applied for work exp at Borth Zoo, which is a 20 train ride from Aber (although the trains only go every 2 hours) and thought I could go on a Wednesday afternoon 'cos we have that off to do "sport".
The lady replied and said yes, when was I thinking about going but I haven't heard back for a couple of days.

Also emailed someone this morning from a Llama Trekking place, in Burton near home. A friend went and so I thought I could ask. Its about half an hour from home but Grumps works (a further) 10 mins down the same road so I thought he might be able to drop me there on the way to work! :)
Would obv have to go at Easter or over the Summer, but thought I could just ask and see what they say.

Found out Lambing starts on March 17th this year, so will still be at Uni but will probably go when I'm home 3 weeks later :) Want to do some in Wales too, would be silly not to! :P

I also need to try and find a 6 week work placement for Uni which counts as one of the modules for next year. Can't really think of anywhere close to home except for a couple of farms and without having a car it'd have to be close. Did think about the vets but the one I've been to before is 40 mins away and the new one round the corner still isn't open and even though they're still working on if it you drive past, I can't see it ever being done!
On the other hand I thought I could go the opposite and go somewhere further away but stay there and do it like that.
6 weeks is a long time though!


Was asked last year to work for someone over the summer and would have loved to have done it but the distance was too far, might see if I can do it this summer and see if it counts as a work placement for Uni :)

New Years Eve

So everyone came round to ours last night and we'z got a liiiittle bit drunk :P
I wasn't that bad but was drinking my Homebrew Turbo Cider which was a bit yeasty + rank but we added sugar to it and made Cider + Black(currant) which was dank.

Nothing got damaged so t'was good :)
Well, George did fall into the christmas tree and was sick all over the carpet and patio doors on the way to getting outside to be sick, but by the time he was outside he'd chundered it all up.

We set off some of those fire lanterns ... the eco, biodegradable no metal wires, ones ... and so did the neighbours.
Only, theirs got stuck in the tree and just sat there burning away :P

Finally went to bed at about 5 'cos we were just sitting there talking in our slightly intoxicated state. Pazzy was on about being ticklish, and well, the rest I won't blog ;)
Woke up about 8 and realised *owww* I was burning, moaned but fell back to sleep.
Back to sleep for 10 mins *owwww!*
Back to sleep again and another 10 mins later *OWWWWW!?* ... the radiators were on full and I was lying right on it.
(I should have mentioned at this point that there were 3 people sleeping in my bed)

There were people asleep on my floor so think I probably trod on a few of those trying to get to my door. Went downstairs where there were a further 3 people, one of them being George asleep on the sofa in the exact same position as last night, still with the stuff balanced on him that we'd put there.
Turned the heating off, returning with a massive bottle of squash 'cos no-one could talk, which was rather appreciated.

Think we got up at about 10, sat around, vacummed and tidied up a bit. Sprayed every sort of cleaning chemical we had in the house on the carpet which made the sick go bright flourescent green.

Thought't it'd be a good idea to drive to ASDA for breakfast but didn't account for them being shut! Although they did have 3 mahoosive cages full of christmas chocolates that were 10p + 50p.
Me + Mika bought a few each, George bought a box of 32! :P

Home

Home today :)

Its my birthday and Mothers 50th on Monday so came home for the weekend.
Got the 9.30 train from Aber. They only put on 2 carriages instead of 4 so it was rammed and there were people standing up thr whole way, they wouldn't even get through to ask for tickets! Put another 2 carriages on at Shrewsbury so it wasn't too bad. Got in to New St at half 12ish.
Went and met the Big Sis, got lunch then just went round the shops ... still haven't any of mine!

Got home, went to she shops to get some more food and then people came round at 7ish.
Was fancy dress but Mother only told me on Thurs so I was Rudolph with an afro :P

No idea what time they left. 3ish?

Got like 200 facebook wall posts! lol
Replied to them all :)
