A trip to Heathrow!
Yesterday morning, my Grandad, Dad, and I travelled up to Heathrow airport to collect my Auntie Rebecca after her long flight back to England, from Canada!! It was very busy on the roads, and my Dad had a bit of road rage, but I was too busy eating Grandad's hobnob biscuits to notice!
Once we arrived at Heathrow airport, terminal three, I managed to pick a good spot to wait for Auntie Rebecca, and she was out extremely quickly! I think I saw a rugby player, but it definitely wasn't Kyran Bracken!!
I pushed my Auntie's trolley back to the carpark, almost crashing into several cars on the way!
We stopped off at Clacket lane on the way home, where my Auntie was trying to find me an ice tea, but they did not sell it there!!
It was really good to see my Auntie Rebecca again, particularly her new hairstyle, and she brought me some presents!! One of the gifts was a bear, with a Canadian symbol on the foot, which I have now clipped onto my bag!

Top Trumps!
The other day, I brought some Jaqueline Wilson top trumps! Top trumps is one of the BEST games, and the person who manages to recieve all the cards, wins the game!! I brought it to play with my Auntie Rebecca for when we fly to Canada in July! (I know she hates games though)! My dad hates games as well, it must be the way they were brought up!!
I have decided I am going to change my blog now, particularly the pictures, as they look terrible, and I have changed a lot since then!
Yesterday, I was working at Ashford library, when I accidentally put £7.99 through the till twice! A senior lady, who doesn't like me much (I think it's because I'm the youngest) was not very nice, because of this! I just smiled sweetly at her!!

Easter time!
It's officially the Easter holidays, which means, I'm off for two weeks!!
I spent this morning working at a branch of Ashford library, a particularly rough part of Ashford, but the library is excellent! The only problem is, only a few customers came in all morning, most of them being young children!!
I have quite a lot of work to do over the Easter period, the worst one is social policy!! It is really difficult! I have taken out several books from the library to help me, which isn't too bad, apart from they are all in small print!

Birthday Month!
There has been a lot of birthdays this month, and a lot more to come!! Tuesday, it was my Grandad's birthday, and he was 85 years old, Thursday, it was my other Grandad's birthday, and he was 76 years old! The best birthday though is on Tuesday, mine!!! Horrahhhhh!!!!! I will be 17 years old, and next Saturday, I am going to London!
Tonight, it is the dancing on ice GRAND FINAL! I hope Kyran will win, I will let you know if he does! They have got to fly in tonight's programme, which Kyran has been finding difficult, as his posture isn't that great!

Dancing on ice (the semi final)!
Dancing on ice, the semi final was on television yesterday, after worrying that it wouldn't be on, as there has been an investigation into the votes (someone may have fixed them)!!
You'll be pleased to know Carol Ann, that Kyran is in the final, he got 4 6's last night for his dance, which is the highest score!!
This week has been excellent, as I got my first distinction, for effective communication! Wednedsay, I had the day off, but I was incredibly disappointed to find that my Auntie Rebecca and grandad had waited for me at the train station! I look for them every day, and the one day that I am not there, they look for me!! My dad would call it sod's law!
I will be put a video of Kyran on my blog, especially for you Carol Ann!!!

Pink smarties!
Sunday, we went to visit my Auntie Rebecca, because we will not see her for over four weeks now, as she is flying to Canada! Next time she goes though, she will be taking someone with her!!
As soon as we arrived, she sat us down with this delicious pink jello, which was one of the nicest desserts I have ever tasted! She insisted I had seconds, even though I should be careful, secretly I was pleased though!
Later on, she handed me a whole tube of pink smarties, which are scrummy! (I think she is trying to fatten me up)!! I will miss her a lot when she goes to Canada, especially her food!
Today, my dad had an operation on his knee! When we picked him up from the hospital, I played on his crutches, he had been given! He is recovering well though, only his knee looks like a balloon!!

Know your Elements!
This song reminds me of my secondary school days! A teacher called Mr Pritchard used to always play this song, and I tried to sing along, but I can't!!

My auntie!
My Auntie Rebecca took me to college yesterday, as my mum was helping her with some cleaning! It was brilliant to not have to catch the bus and train!
Auntie Rebecca told me she wasn't going to do anything embarrassing, but as I got out of the car, she started waving to me wildely, telling me to have a good day! I wouldn't have minded if there hadn't been anyone around, but unfortunately, a girl was walking down the road! She was laughing her head off, and couldn't stop smiling!! I hid in my jacket, pretending that I was invisible! Thankfully, the girl didn't say anything, but I could tell what she was thinking!
She is still the best though!!
My Auntie told my mum I had something to write on my blog today, so that is why I am writing this!

Im off to Canada!!!
The tickets have now been booked for my first trip to Canada, on the 16th July to the 12th August, with my Auntie Rebecca!
We are flying with zoom, which goes direct to Winnipeg airport, and apparently the seats are extremely comfortable, with delicious snacks!! When my Auntie told me that she was booking the tickets, I was jumping up and down! I can't really believe it at the moment!
Yesterday, was my cousin's birthday, and she lives in quite a small village! My mum and I went over there with her birthday present, I think she liked it very much!
Today, I went back to college, after a brilliant half term! Even more people have left the course now! Soon, I think they'll only be about three people left!

An afternoon with Louise!
Yesterday afternoon, Louise came round my house at 3.30 pm!! It was brilliant!
The first thing was to tell Louise about the surprise that is coming for her, which she is really excited about! Gethin, the blue peter presenter is signing a picture for her! It should be hear any day now! Louise was jumping up and down when I told her!
Afterward, we played on the playstation, on the game, the Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe! It was excellent, but we got a little bit stuck on a level!
For dinner, we ate Pork chops, Roast Potatoes, Courgettes, Sweetcorn, and Gravy!! Pudding was definitely the best though, as we ate Strawberry, and Cream cheesecake!
Today, I had a super day at the library this morning! I have to work to save up for my trip to Canada! I almost have enough!
Lunch was even better, as my mum and I went to Marks and Spencer! I brought cold sausages, and these cheesey stars!

Soul Sista Weekend!!

Spare ribs!
It has been a busy week, so far!!
Sunday, was a briliant day, but frightening at the beginning of the day, as I was made to go up to the front of our church to be prayed for! At first, I sunk into the chair, pretending I wasn't there! I eventually went up though!
In the afternoon, my Auntie Rebecca and Grandad came for dinner, and they brought spare ribs, which we ate yesterday evening for dinner!! They were delicious, especially the tangy, barbeque sauce they came in!! My Auntie Rebecca told me about her week, and about the duck she ate! Later on, we watched the dvd of Eithne's first Christmas, as my Auntie Rebecca hadn't seen it, it was really funny! We didn't manage to watch it all though, as grandad feel asleep!!
Another person has dropped out of my course!! There are not many of us left now!!
Every day, as I walk to the college, I look for Auntie Rebecca, or grandad passing by, so far, I haven't seen them!!

The elderly!
Yesterday, I was at the eldercare centre, for my workplacement! I am really enjoying it, and love listening to the elderly talk about their lives! There is one lady called Terri, who is super! She is almost 90 years old, and finds it difficult to walk, but she always takes my hand to help her! A man named Joe gave me £5 yesterday, and told me to buy an ice cream!! I had to check that that was alright though! Guess where my £5 is going to go? Not far to go!
Next week is my last week at the eldercare centre, and then I have only one more workplacement, it all finishes at Easter, which is early this year!
Today for lunch, I had a sausage and cheese pasty thing, it was delicious!!

Dreams!
I dream about Canada a lot, but that is understandable, as I think about it a lot!!
There was a huge argument at college today between two girls! All they seem to do is talk about each other behind their backs, I hate that!!!!
I am looking forward to half term, as I will have a week off!

A word!
Today, it was brilliant at youth church! We had fruit salad for breakfast, and Ashford and New Romney church came up to join us! It felt odd to have my old church there, but I have moved on, and extremely pleased!
We had to be in groups, to see if the holy spirit gave us a word for someone! I was given a word for the first time, that ws relavant to my daily life! I was really moved today!
I am looking forward to half term soon, as it will be a nice break! On the 9th of February to the 11th February, I am going to soul sista, which is a thing especially for girls! Apparently the roast dinners are delicious!
Aunite Rebecca, I hope you feel better soon, and well enough to go the gym and costa coffee!!

He's behind you!!
I am extremely pleased at the moment, because yesterday I sold my doll's house shop for £50, to raise money for my trip to Canada! It is no far to go now!!
The lady asked if she could have it for £40, but we stuck it out until the end, as we knew someone else was interested in it!
Today, I was at my work placement, which I am having a super time at! I had to do some chair excercises today, which was very tiring - NOT!!
This evening, I am going to the pantomime! It is brilliant, and we go every year! I especially go for the ice cream, as it's my favourite!
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
Stand up for what you believe in!!
Today has been a difficult day, but it was much better towards the end!!
There was only six people in college today, including me! One of the girls is not that nice, and she wouldn't stop talking about 'you know what'!! She was laughing at me, because I am different! It made me feel upset, but then I thought she is probably just insecure! I think it is good to stand up for what you believe in, and not follow everything else, but it take a lot of courage to do that!
The good part of the day was that I went to the doctors today, and managed to get something new for my spots! I have tried nearly everything on the market, and nothing seems to work!!

Miss Potter trailer
If you have the chance to see this film, you should!! It is brilliant! What could be better than sitting with your favourite Auntie and grandad, eating mint choclate chip ice cream, and watching a super film!

The dreaded parents evening!!
Well, yesterday went really well!! I had a parents evening, and I wasn't looking forward to it! We had to wait for ages to see the teachers, as people kept pushing in, but it wasn't too bad! I was worried about what Alison would say about me, but I think she liked my dad, so she is nice to me now!! They said I was too quiet, and needed to speak up more, but I get that comment every parents evening!!
Before, parents evening started, I walked to the Maf office, where my grandad was! It was brilliant! I even got a slice of cake, and a glass of milk!!
Once we had finished parents evening, it was fairly late, so we had a takeaway burger king! I have been put off kfc for life now, as someone in my church found a chicken head in their chicken, and they could even make out the eyes!!!
My favourite television programme starts on Saturday, Dancing on Ice!! I can't wait until I am on that programme - Not!!! Hopefully, after the summer I will be able to move on the ice, if my cousin Tim teaches me in Canada!!

Eldercare centre!!!
I have started my second work placement at the eldercare centre in Ashford!! I found it really interesting, apart from this moany, old lady called Doreen! All she did was boast about how great she was at everything, and moan every minute!! There were some really nice people too, who made me feel very welcome!
I dreamt a dream the other night about my second cousin Eithne, and that she was sitting on Erin's lap talking at the age she is now!! Not only was she talking, but she was using really intellectual words! Canada was also in the garage!!
I also dreamt another dream about my Auntie Rebecca and I, that we were flying to Canada, but I hadn't packed anything, and became really worried about it!!! I can't wait to see you soon Auntie Rebecca, I miss you!
Today, I had a brilliant day, as my grandad came over for dinner! He is really fun, and cares about you!!

Btec National Diploma in Health Studies!
I am going to be writing about my course, as asked by Carol-Ann!!
I started the course in September, and it is a very busy course, five people have dropped out already, because they cannot handle the amount of work set!
It is brilliant though, and I seem to learn quite a lot every day!! I have to catch the bus and train every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Thursday is my study day, and Friday, I am in a work placement setting!
My course is set into sections, some about Anatomy and Physiology, which is good because my dad can help me sometimes! There is a communication unt, research unit, work placement unit, and many other units!!
This course is worth three A levels, and I am hoping to become an Assitant Physiotherapist at the end of it! I would really like to work at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, which is a children's hospital! When I am older, I don't really want to stay in this country, but move abroad!!

Another day has passed!!
Another day has passed, which is a day towards the summer!!! Today, we had a surprise I.T exam, and I became a little bit worried, but I passed!! Horrahhhhhyyyy!
I have been assigned my next workplacement, which is a very short one! It is at the Eldercare centre, which I am quite looking forward to, apart from I am always anxious that I will make a mistake!
At college, I am always dreaming about certain things, mainly krispy kreme doughnuts, and travelling!! I am looking forward to March, because I will be having a krispy kreme doughnut, at Harrods!!

A merit!
Yesterday, I was over the moon, because there was a piece of science work I had to add to 4 times for Alison my teacher! Yesterday, I finally recieved a merit, I am very thankful to everyone who prayed for that situation, and am extremely happy! Last year, Alison didn't think that I could cope with all the work on the course, but now, she is praising me up a bit more!
I have got a lot of work to do before July, as I have to try and raise £300! Hopefully, the library will take me on a bit more, I am going to write a letter! I have only been called in twice since september!

Crawley!
We spent new year at my mum's friends house in Crawley, it was brilliant!! One of my Christmas presents was a gift voucher for Virgin, so I was very excited, especially as it was not Hmv! They have a big shoping centre in Crawley, not as big as Bluewater, but it is cool! I went straight to Virgin to buy Keeping up appearances series 5, and it was almost half the price of the one in Hmv! I can't wait to watch it!!
We had lamb for lunch, and an excellent tea, with sausages (my favourite)!
Today, I went back to college, which I was not looking forward to! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though! Hardly anyone turned up, and the bus was empty this morning!!
I have counted that there are 16 college days left until half term, and 72 days college days until the summer! Roll on the summer!!!!!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to everyone!
Thursday, was my Auntie Rebecca's birthday, and we went to the Pilot in Dungeness, I had sausages!! My auntie invited some friends from her church, and they were very friendly!
Today, I managed to get extremely wet, as it was raining when my mum and I were in town! I looked like a drowned rat!
I was cheesed off with HMV today, because Keeping up appearances series 5 came out on dvd on boxing day, and I have been waiting for it for over 2 years! On the website it said it was only £16.99, but when I went in there today, it was £24.99! I asked one of the staff why it was that price, and she said it was because it was the only one in the shop!
Please, somebody write a comment, especially you Louise, as I know you go on here! I would be very happy if you did!!
Tuesday, December 26, 2006
Brilliant boxing day!
Yesterday, it was Christmas day, and it was excellent! One of the BEST!!
My Grandad, and Dorothy came over, and behaved themselves, so that was even better! I was extremely pleased with all my presents: - a new watch, slippers, books, and some other things! From Louise, I was given a beautiful butterfly purse, with £1 inside, and a bath fizzer (my favourite)! Thank you very much Louise!!
I especially enjoyed Christmas dinner, which was delicious, especially the bread sauce, and sausages!!!
Today, my Grandad is over, and it is really super to see him!! I got given money from him, which is brilliant!!!!!!!!
I am looking forward to seeing my Auntie Rebecca, as she is the greatest, and I miss her!!

Almost there!
Wednesday, my cousin Vivi came over, and we baked christmas biscuits!! I had a super time with her, we even played Authors, the BEST game in the whole, wide world! In the afternoon, I suggested going for a run around the lake, but she didn't sound too keen, instead we danced around to music!
Thursday afternoon, I went to Louise's new house for the first time, which was excellent! I was given her Christmas present, which I can't wait to see, as it came in a really posh bag from Bluewater! For dinner, we ate toad in the hole, potato croquettes, and vegetables, which were delicious, especially the chocolate trifle for pudding!!!
On the news yesterday, they showed Bluewater shopping centre, and even showed the ice rink, which brought back a lot of cool memories!! I even forget to mention that I saw Terry Wogan, and waved to him!!
It is not long until Christmas now, my Auntie Rebecca has flown to Holland, and when she arrives back, it is her birthday, and we are going to the pilot in Dungeness!!

The great big hill!
Yesterday was such a brilliant day, but sad at the end!! I was invited up to Folkestone by my cousins Erin and Tim, which was a nice surprise!
I arrived at Folkestone Central train station at 11.00, where I bumped into my old best friend Stephanie, who I haden't seen for over 5 years! It felt so weird to see her again, and I was so pleased to see Tim wave to me from the car!! I jumped in the car as quickly as possible!
Once we arrived at the house, Tim and I played What together, and I won, but so did he!!!!
When my other cousins Kirsty and Lewis arrived, along with my Aunite Priscilla, we went to Sainsbury's to get some shopping for the big Christmas meal! Tim brought lots of sweets, including Dolly Mixtures, which you can't buy in Canada!
At lunchtime, we ate in the Sainsbury's cafe, and Erin had a huge fried breakfast, with fries! Tim and I were discussing Canada, because I am flying over there in July, or August for the first time!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!
After shopping, Tim found a £1 coin on the car park floor, and gave it to my Auntie Priscilla!! We then picked up Kirsty from home, and went into town, which was fun!! Tim brought lots of horrible history, and science books to take home with him!! We then popped into he MAF office, where my Grandad was! I have never been in there before, and Tim kept shutting the doors onto me!!
Next, we went back home to change into our dirty clothes to climb the hill!! I was a bit worried at first, as I thought I would probably collapse! I fell over a few times, but the best bit of all was getting a piggy back ride from Tim! I thought I would be too heavy for him, but thankfully I wasn't! I did manage to scarpe mud down his PANTS though!! It was the best time walking, I think I have ever had!
When we came home, we took off our shoes, which were covered in mud! I was told by Auntie Rebecca that I was not allowed in the kitchen, but I did try to sneak in anyway!
We all played Cluedo afterward, and Tim won! It is an excellent game!! Then we played Scrabble, which I am useless at, and Erin joined in this game, and usually she wins! Tim and I joined together to play, and we won!!! We managed to use all of our letters to create the word falcon, which got us 84 points!
After the game playing, my brothers, and Terri arrived for Christmas dinner, which was delicious! There was bread sauce, my favourite, and this really yummy marshmellow and pineapple thing, which I loved!! We all popped our crackers, and ate! After eating, we had some presents, which were super! My grandad opened his presents, and he got a portable dvd player, from all the family, and a realy cool bag from Erin and Tim!!
I got a pure gold necklace, which I really love! I will wear it all the time!
At the end of the day, I was a bit sad, as it was time to say goodbye!! I gave Eithne a goodbye kiss and smile, which I hope she liked! I even gave Tim a hug! I feel a bit empty at the moment, but at least I have some incredible memories! Thank you Auntie Rebecca for cooking an excellent meal, and thank you Erin, Tim, and Eithne for making this last week the best!! I can't wait until the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A skating experience!!
Today, was one of the best days of my life, as I went ice skating at Bluewter with Tim, my cousin's husband! He was brilliant at ice skating, as he is a hockey player in Canada, but I was useless, as usual, but I only fell over once at the end!! Tim took me for rides, but I was afraid to let go of the edge, I think I made some progress, but I got my PANTS (trousers) wet, so it looked as though I had wet myself! Erin took some pictures of us, which will probably turn out funny! I kept holding everyone up! I wish I could learn how to skate really well, as it is excellent!! If only Tim and Erin were staying in England for a few more weeks!! Thank you for taking me, I know I probably cramped your style!! It was the BEST fun I have had in a long time!!!!
I brought a few presents in Bluewater, and had a doughnut at Krispy Kreme, which was yummy! Eithnie got a bit tired, but I think she enjoyed herself! Auntie Rebecca is the shopping queen, so she definitely enjoyed herself!!

My mum is home!!
My mum arrived back in England on Friday evening from Romania, and she had a brilliant time! She wants to go back as soon as possible, as she enjoyed it so much! She saw some sad sights, and had some strange experiences, but overall it was the best! My mum is a celebrity now, as Kaddy the weather presenter was out in Romania, staying in a posh hotel! Kaddy bumped into the team, and filmed them about what they were doing, and it was shown on the bbc!!
I am looking forward to Christmas now, as it is not long to go! My auntie Rebecca is going to prepare a Christmas meal for us all on the 18th, which I am dreaming about!
There are only three days left to go at college!! YES!!!!!!!!!

Tres bien!
Yesterday, my dad, my brother, one of my aunts, and I went to France on a day trip! We went quite early on the channel tunnel, it was very quick!
Once we arrived in France, we drove straight to the Au Chan, which is a HUGE supermarket, I have never seen such a big supermaket! Firstly, we stopped off at a little cafe, and I ordered in French, well only my drink!!
My auntie and I took a trolley from outside with her special au chan trolley coin, and started shopping! My favourite section was definitely the cheese, I have never seen so many cheeses in my life! We even got to taste a few of them! I also brought some sausages, big surprise there!!!! YUM!!! My auntie brought many items, including a snowman stocking for my baby second cousin, Eithnie!
Next, we went to Cite Europe in Calais! They were setting up a big snow slide there, where people could slide down!
We stopped off at a french restaurant, and I ate an American burger, with french fries, after much deciding!! It was the nicest burger I have ever tasted, far nicer than English burgers!!
My brother Daniel brought a snow hat, with ears!
At the end of the day, we went on the channel tunnel back home, but it took a while, as a car broke down! My dad was not happy!!
Once home, I had one of my aunite's buns that she brought from the Au Chan, they were delicious! For tea, I had some french bread and cheese, which was scrummy!!!
Sorry for being a groaner!!

My mum has gone to Romania!
Today, at 5.00 this morning, my mum left for heathrow airport to fly off to Romania!!
Everything went smoothly with the flight, but she was extremely nervous, as she has never been away without us before! She is at Romania right now and I am counting the days until she comes home!!
My dad and I have been invited to a meal on sunday, so that will keep him from cooking, although he is a good cook!!
There is a lot of illness around at the moment, hardly anyone was at college yesterday, or today, because of the illness!
Tuesday, November 14, 2006
Strictly come dancing!
Strictly come dancing was on television the other day and it was excellent! Mark and Karen are my favourites to win, as they dance really well! I feel sorry for Peter Shemichael, as he is so big, but at least he puts in the effort!
The X factor isn't that good this year, because none of them really stand out!
I am counting down the days unitl Christmas now and I am really excited! I love eating Christmas food! My mum is preparing to go to Romania next week with the church and I will miss her!
We are planning to go to London to see the Christmas lights and hopefully get some krispy kreme doughnuts in Harrods!! YUM!!
Today, I have a day off, as it is open day at South Kent College, it only seems like yesterday that I was going to look around the college, time flies by!!
Saturday, November 04, 2006
My new blog!!
I've now got a new beta blog, thanks to auntie Rebecca and her friend Carol Ann!! Thank you very much, it needed a new makeover!
Yesterday, Louise came over, or Louise the disease, as my dad would say!! It was very much fun! We went to the outlet centre and I got a new coat from the gap, which is very cosy!
For dinner, we had mini toad in the holes and chips from the fish and chips shop! Profiteroles and hot chocolate sauce was on the menu for dessert!!
Today, there are a lot of firework displays, because it is bonfire night tomorrow! My brother Matthew is having a bonfire party tonight, with hot dogs! We are not going, as he doesn't really want us there! My mum is going to cook hot dogs for dinner tonight instead!! YES!!!!
Tomorrow, my best auntie is coming for dinner!
I was on the bluewater site today and I realised that they are having an ice rink for the winter! I am so excited, because the ice rink at Gillingham is really old and dirty!!

Near death experience!
Today, we quickly went into the bank in town! We parked in Liddels carpark, so we wouldn't have far to walk!! When we were crossing the second road, the traffic lights were well red and the cars had stopped! I was the first person to cross the road and I was just about in the middle of the road, when a car travelling about 60 mph came out of nowhere and broke the red light! If I had walked a couple more steps, he would have hit me!! My parents heart rates were beating wildely and I think everyone at the crossing breathed a huge sigh of relief!! I was very thankful to not have been hit!!
On Tuesday, I went ice skating with my friend Becky, who I have known for years! It was really fun, but not when this person knocked me over on my bottom! I don't think I' m doing very well this week!!
Later on this evening, my dad and I are going to my grandad's house for tea! My auntie Rebecca is going to make an apple crumble! YUMMY!!!Also, it is the X factor and I want Ben to win, because he is from Charing, near Ashford!!

Celebritiy lookalikes!
Yesterday, I went on this website called my heritage to find out which celebrities most resembled me! I was a bit disappointed to find out they were nearly all chinese women, I had never even heard of before!!
My dad looked like Christopher lee and my mum looked like George Bush!! Just to say Louise, I tried Mr Jackson and he loks like Shane from westlife and Tom Cruise!!!!!

What a week!!!
I have had quite a busy week, full of adventures!! Some good, some not so good!!
Monday, I caught the bus in the morning to go to college and it was packed!! I could barely move!!! The bus was late arriving at the station, so I had to run to catch my train! I just managed to get on it and the train started to move!
In the afternoon, we got let out of college at about 4.10 and the train leaves Folkestone at 4.17! I was running down the road, when I realised I had forgotton my bag, so I had to go back to college and collect it! I had to catch the 5.25 train!!
Tuesday, in the afternoon, I thought I had plenty of time to catch the train back to Ashford, as I was 2 minutes early! How wrong was I!!!!
The train was waiting at the station when I arrived, so I quickly pressed the button, so I could be let on!! Their was a man waiting behind the train doors and he wouldn't let me on! I was furious!!! I even shouted, which is quite unlike me!!!
Wednesday, the train was cancelled to Folkestone, so none of the Ashford people could go to college! I had to study at home, which is better, because I am in my own environment!
Congratulations to my cousin Erin and Tim, who have had a baby girl called Eithne! She is superb!! I can't wait to see her in December!!
Well done to my Auntie Rebecca too, who has become a grandma!

My first work placement!
Friday, I was at my first work placement, at a primary school in Ashford! I had a really brilliant time, but it was much harder than it looks!!
I don't think I ever want to become a teacher in the near future!!
I was put with a year 3 class, they were very well behaved, until the teacher went out of the room! It was really scary!! The teacher has promised that she will never leave me alone with the class again!
They had a harvest service at the school, so we got to sing some songs that I haven't sang in a long time!
Today, I was at church, where we all got prayed for! It was really encouraging, and we even got given grapes to eat!!
My cousin Erin's baby is due soon, I am really looking forward to seeing her, because she will be my second cousin! Auntie Rebecca is out in Canada at the moment, they are probably having the baby shower about now!

My father, the hero!
One of my favourite films is called, My father, the hero! It is a brilliant film about a girl and her father who go on hoilday together to the carribean! She pretends that her father is her boyfriend to attract a boy's attention! Anyone who likes romantic, comedies should definitely watch it!!
Yesterday, I was working at the library for 4 hours! I was put on the counter for the whole time, so it was really busy! They even sell coffies at the library now, my auntie Rebecca would really like that!
In the afternoon, we went into Canterbury and I had a cinnamon whirl in Waterstones, yum!!!
On Friday, Louise came round for the evening! We had an excellent time together watching mr Bean the movie! I like it when he blows up the bag of sick and pops it over someone's head!
We even had profiteroles with chocolate sauce!

Assignments.
Yesterday, I had the day off! I get every Thurday off and I have been off today, because our work placements haven't started yet! I am doing my first work placement in a primary school, I was going to do it in my old primary school, but they wouldn't have me!
I can't wait to do a work placement with the elderly, as I have a soft spot for them!!
I have been given my first assignment, which is Physiology! It is fairly difficult, but I am thankful that my dad knows quite a bit to do with the subject!
On Monday, we have to do a Food, hygiene course, where you get a certifacte! I hope you get to taste food!!!
I have started at the library now, it was absolutley brilliant!! I almost gave someone a dvd without the dvd inside the case, but it was still excellent!
Today, I am going to Louise's house, which I am looking forward to! I miss her a lot, as we don't go to the same school now!!

I'm at college.
I have now been at college for three days, I have been enjoying it so far!
The first day, I was very nervous! I almost ran out of the train, because I was so scared! It is much better than school though!
I am there until 5.00 on Monday's and Wednesday's, I get the day off on Thursday's, and I am at a work placement on Friday's!!
We haven't really got started into our course yet, as we have just been getting used to how college is going to be! I am really looking forward to the work placements!
On Tuesday, I went to Bluewater with my Auntie Rebecca, which was excellent!!
We had Krispy Kreme doughnuts first, I had an apple and cinnamon one and an original glazed!!!
My Auntie brought me a pair of new trousers to wear to college, they are extremely comfortable! Thank you for taking me Auntie Rebecca!

Starting college!
The day is almost here, I am about to start college! I am excited, but nervous at the same time!
I am really worried that I will get lost, or have nobody to talk to!!
I start working at the library on Saturday, well I get trained on Saturday! It should be excellent working there, especially as I love books! I am reading a book at the moment called Chasing the Dragon, by Jackie Pullinger, which is brilliant!
Today, is my dad's 50th birthday! On Saturday, we had an open house for him! Lots of people came and brought really good presents!! His main present was a dvd camcorder, which was from a range of different people!
I am looking forward to tomorrow, as I am going shopping in Bluewater with my Auntie Rebecca! I am definitely going to have some delicious Krispy Kreme doughnuts!!

My exam results!
On Thursday, I collected my G.C.S.E results!! I was extremely pleased with what they were!
I got 7 c's and 2 b's! I was especially pleased with what I got in maths, because that has been my hardest subject all the way through school!
I had a brilliant day on Friday, as I went to Louise's house for the day! She had pink put in her hair, but it didn't come out quite right, so she is going back to the hairdresser on Tuesday! We went to the outlet centre, and had Spudulike potatoes, which are just the best!!!
Yesterday, we went to the American diner as a celebration dinner for me! I had a wax works, which is a hot dog topped with American cheese and fried onions!! It was yummy!!!

Holiday of a lifetime!
I have been home 1 day from my holiday, which was the best holiday of my life!!!
There was a bit of trouble on the day we left, because it was the start of the high airport security! We didn't think we would even end up going, as they said many flights were cancelled!! Thankfully, we did end up going!
There was quite a long wait until we got on the aircraft though, and the queues were huge!! We had just over a 3 hour delay, which wasn't too bad!! We even had to take our shoes off, which was rather cheesy!!
At least we didn't have any bags to hold, apart from a clear plastic one!!
The flight was the comfiest one I have ever been on, plus I got a bag of maltesers to eat, which was even better!!!
When we arrived in Mallorca, we got a taxi to Puerto Pollensa! It was about 10.30pm there time when we arrived! The worst bit was getting stuck in the bathroom, as the lock didn't work!!!! It was scary!!! I was stuck in there for about 15 minutes, before I finally managed to unlock the door!
It was beautiful where we stayed, with wonderful views! I even went paddling in the Mediterranean!!!
We ate in many super restaurants, I even had sausages in a few of them, which were delicious!! The chicken burger that I ate was also brilliant!!
On Sunday, we went to a market in Pollensa, which was packed full of people, it was good, but not as good as the one in Puerto Pollensa on Wednesday!!! I brought a pair of short jeans, but the person selling them wouldn't make the price go down very far! I think that's because she was African!!
Tuesday, we went on a boat to Formentor, which was fantastic! The sea was even warm!! It was rather crowded on the beach, with lots of topless women walking around!!
I had a fantastic holiday, I am definitely going to go back!!!!!!!!

Mallorca!
I am going to Mallorca on Thursday for one week and I can't wait!! I am really excited to eat spanish food and read all I want!!! I even love flying in an aeroplane, especially since I might bump into someone famous at the airport!!!!
The place where we are going is fairly quiet, as it is the North of Mallorca! It is meant to be very hot, so we have brought some water spray to take with us!
Yesterday, my parents and I went to our pastors house for dinner, it was delicious!!! We had one of my favourite desserts too, cheescake!!!
My family and I are getting a dog called Charlie for a week to see how he gets on with us! If he likes us and we like him, he will be coming to live with us forever!!
I can't wait until December, because my cousin Erin will be coming over again! This time she will be bringing her baby girl though!! My Auntie Rebecca is going to be doing an early Christmas for her!

What an experience!!!!!
Yesterday, I had probably one of the most adventurest days of my entire life!!! It was brilliant!!!
I went to London with my Auntie Rebecca and my cousin Erin, who is pregnant! It was definitely a day to remember!!
I got on the train at 9.15 am, which was a slow train to London! My auntie and my cousin were already on the train, as they got on at Folkestone! It actually was a good train ride up!
When we arrived, we got off the train and jumped on the underground to mueseum lane! I think I was the most excited I have ever been!!! It was quite warm, but luckily Auntie Rebecca had her water spray, so we could cool down!!
Firstly, we went to the Natural History Mueseum, it was super!! We spent quite a while in there, but we only did two sections! I really enjoyed the Human biology section, because there were lots of things to press! They also had visual illusions there, and these funny mirrors which made our bodies look weird!! They were really funny!
They also had big dinosaurs there, which looked frightening!!
After we had finished at the mueseum, we went into the picnic area and ate! I had one of Auntie Rebecca's leerdammer cheese sandwiches with ham, yummy!!!!!! Auntie Rebecca also brought a chocolate brownie, which she cut into thirds!
Next, we decided we would go to the Science museum, which was fandabadozzie!!! I especially enjoyed the simulator ride, which my auntie and I went on!! We felt as though we were really in a rollacoaster!! My auntie thought she was going to die, it was really fun!!! My cousin Erin couldn't come on though, as it might harm the baby!
We didn't spend long in the science museum, because we were going to Harrods - wow!!!!!
At Harrods, we stood outside and had our pictures taken, I had never been to Harrods before, so it was a real adventure to me!! It was huge!!!!!!!
The food department is just wonderful, the cheese counter is about the same size as my living room!!
We looked at the baby department and the food department!!! I brought a tin of Harrods shortbread for my mum and dad!!
I spotted a man with a bag of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, so I got very excited!!! My Auntie Rebecca brought 24 doughnuts!!!!! I LOVE HARRODS!!!!!!!
We ate some of the doughnuts outside Harrods!!!
We then went back on the tube to go to Buckingham palace, well outside it!!! It is such a beautiful palace!!! We sat on the queen Victoria fountain outside Buckingham Palace, soaking everything in to our brains!!
At about 5.00, Auntie Rebecca suggested we should go and find somewhere to eat, as it wouldn't be too busy! We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, which is the only one in London!
I had chicken toujons, with fries!!! They were delicious!!
Last stop of the day was Hamleys toy store! Auntie Rebecca wanted to buy a Rupert the bear or Noddy, but she was very dissappointed!!! I brought a travel pictionary to play on holiday!!!
The last bit of our day was probably the best of all!!!! We went on a bike with seats at the back!! It was absolutley excellent!!!!! We were all squashed in like sardines, bumping up and down, thinking we were going to crash!!!
I had a really exciting day, which was out of this world!!!! Thank you for taking me Erin and Auntie Rebecca!!

My cousin Erin
Today my cousin Erin is arriving in England all the way from Canada! I am really looking forward to seeing her, as I haven't seen her for ages!
I will be really excited two weeks from now, because I am going on holiday to Mallorca (Majorca) for 1 week!! It will be a good time to relax and have fun playing games!!
The sea is so clear out there, that you can actually see the fish swimming!
I watched Love Actually the other day, which my wonderful Auntie Rebecca lent to me!! It was excellent, and it made me smile, but not on the nude scenes!!!
We might be getting a small dog called Charlie! A man from our church is going to bible college for a year, so he wants someone to take care of his dog forever!

Christy Miller Series.
I started reading my favourite books in the whole, wide, world when I was fourteen! My Auntie Rebecca had given me a book token for the Christian bookshop in Folkestone, and it was there that I got hooked on the best books of all time, the Christy Miller Series! They are a teen christian series, which are super!!
I will write the blurb out of the first book in the series!
As fourteen-year old Christy leaves her family's Wisconsin farm to spend the summer at her wealthy aunt and uncle's beach home in Newport California, she realizes this could be the best summer of her life. Her aunt is bending over backward to see that Christy's every wish is granted, the popular beach crowd is actually talking to her, and she catches the attention of a cute surfer named Todd.
This is just the first part of the blurb! There are 12 books in the series, and I would reccomend them to anyone! Even my grandad has read them all!!!!
Yesterday, I went to Hastings with my Uncle AMBROSE, Auntie Maureen, and my cousin Vivi! I had an excellent time - I even got four hole in ones when we played crazy golf!! I still lost though!!!
Just to say, I have now got the job at the library as a casual worker!

Body Shop Party!
On Friday, I got invited to Louise's body shop party, it was super douper!!! It was a feet party, so we had to bring along a bowl and a towel, we got to try out all different feet products, which smelt delicious!
I ended up buying mango and peach bath and shower gel and lemongrass foot spray!
Today, I am going to see Pirates of the Carribbean, Dead Man's Chest! I can't wait to see it, as I loved the first one! Hopefully it will be even better!
I will definitely not be buying any confectionary, because last time it cost £1.60 for 1 scoop of ice cream! It is such a rip off!!!! The water at the cinema costs over £1.00!! I would bring my own food, but they can take it away from you if they catch you with it!
Just to let you know, I have been blogging for nearly a year now, so it's going to be my blog's first birthday!!!
Tuesday, July 04, 2006
Lets all relax!
Hello!!!
Yesterday, Louise came over to my house and it was super! We played flying hats in the garden, which I think she enjoyed a lot! Flying hats is a game where you have to pass the hat to each other on sticks!
In the evening, we went out to Sainsbury's, Louises' favourite place!
On Friday, Louise is having a body shop feet party! I think youre feet get given a treat, I'm looking forward to that!
Today, I have my interview at Ashford library for a casual staff worker! It is not really an interview, it is just a chat!
I had a bit of a bad weekend, as I was ill, but I wont go into that!!

Being confident!
Today, I have been baking cinnamon rolls, they taste delicious too! They were quite difficult to make, but the end result was definitely worth it!
It feels really odd not having to go to school, or to do exams! I feel a bit empty! This will all change though when I go to South Kent College in September, as I will be busy, busy, busy!! College will definitely be different from school!
I am quite worried about going to College, because it is like a totally different world from school! I will also be having to catch a train every day, which is quite frightening! There will be many different people!
I am not as worried as I was, because someone special told me that I should be confident in what I believe!!
I miss you Louise a lot, and I miss you talking about you know who!!! I especially miss all the fun lunchtimes!!
Monday, June 19, 2006
Finally finished!!!
Well, I have completely finished my exams! Yippeeeeeee!!!
I can relax and smell the coffee grounds now!!
Hopefully, my exam results wont be too bad!!
I have got a long summer holiday ahead of me, but hopefully I will get a job at the library! I wrote a letter to them, and they contacted me today, so that was excellent!!
I am going to South Kent College in September, which I am looking forward to!! I am a little bit worried though about the travel though, as I will have to get the train to Folkestone every day!
I am just looking forward to my future!! I get to spend one day a week at a different work placement, e.g. Care home, Nurse!
I have decided to look at different informtion on Countries, because I would like to travel when I am a bit older!

Only two exams left!!!!!
There are only two more exams left, and then I have finished for good!!!! These are Science and French reading!!
Today, I had my last maths exam, which went well (I think)!!! The only problem, was I was one of the last people left in the hall!!! Everyone was allowed to leave early if they had finished, so it was rather distracting!!!
Tomorrow, I have the day off! Yippeeeeee!!!!! No exams!!!!!!
I am going to do some cooking!
The weather is really hot at the moment!!! It's hard to have any kind of energy in this weather!!! You can't even move sometimes!!! I think it's going to become cooler though, which I am pleased about! It's just the humidity that I don't like!!!!
Please someone write on my blog, I got a total of 0 comments on my last entry!! I was very sad!!!!

Maths exam!!!
On Sunday, I had an excellent day, because we had a barbeque, and my favourite - sausages!!!! My grandad came up, and it was a beautiful sunny day!!!!
Yesterday, I had the worst exam of all...... MATHS!!! It went very well though, which I am pleased about, because it was the one that I was the most worried about!!!! I am just praying that the next maths exam will go as well as the first maths exam!!! I enjoy maths, but I find it difficult!!!
Today, I had an English language exam, which was awefully long!!!! I had to write a speech on whether sending missions to Mars was a good or bad thing!
One girl in the exam sat there doing nothing for the whole 1 hour 30 minutes, one boy didn't even turn up!!!
Later on this evening, I have my Health and Social Care interview at South Kent College!!!
Tuesday, May 30, 2006
A excellent break!!!
I have now done three of my exams, English literature, R.E, and D.T!!! Thankfully they have all gone well! Thank you to everyone who has been thinking and praying for me!!!
Unfortunately, I have got a Maths exam straight on the day I go back!!!!
I am very pleased it is half-term!! I can have a relaxing, enjoyable time off, without streesing!!!!
I had a yummy, scrummy banoffie pie on Sunday made by Nettie's mum!!! It was definitely one of the nicest banoffie pies I have ever tasted!! I had it at a group lunch!!
Monday, I went to Hythe with my mum and dad!!! We were going to go on the Romney, Hythe, and Dynchurch railway, but it was really expensive, so we decided not to go!!!
Instead, we went out for lunch in Hythe!
Today, I have been spending time with my mum's friends baby!! He is called Daniel John, and he is wonderful, apart from his pooey nappy!!!
This picture is of my mum, dad and cousin Vivienne at London!!!!

The first exam over and done with!!!
Today, I have had my first gcse exam!!! It was English literature, and it went quite well!!
I had to answer three questions, one on Inspector Calls, one on poems and one on Of Mice and Men. The poem question was quite difficult, but the Inspector Calls question was the best out of them all!!!
Tomorrow, I have an R.E exam, which is only woth half a GCSE, because it is short course!
I am not looking forward to the exam on Thursday, as it is D.T, and I have not that great at D.T! You have to do quite a lot of drawing in the exam, and I am useless at drawing!!!
I can't wait until half-term, where I can have an enjoyable break from exams!!!
Unfortunately, I have maths exam right when I go back to school, the worst exam to start the beginning of term with!!!!
I miss school at the moment, I miss the daily routine, and I miss Louise who makes me laugh!!!

Exams are on the way!!!!!!
I have finished school now forever!!! We were given a choice if we wanted to go into school this week to do revision! I have been in every day so far, but not doing every lesson!!!
Next week, I am just going in for the exams! I have my first exam on Tuesday, and it is English literature! It is the longest exam of all, as it is 2 hours 10 minutes!!!!
Today, I was watching Notting Hill in my lesson, it was brilliant, especially when the welsh man stood in front of the photographers posing in his underpants!!!!!! Notting Hill is one of my mum's favourite films of all time!!
I can't wait until the exams are finished, because I can start relaxing again instead of being stressed!!! I will have to get a job though, hopefully it will be at the library!!!! I loved working at the library on my work experience!!!
Tomorrow, I am going into school for English, Science, French, and D.T!!! I am looking forward to French the most, because are French teacher brings us in food!!!! On Tuesday, my friend and I got cinnamon whirls from the bakery!!!!

My last days at school!!!!
These are my two of my teachers, Mr lee on the left, and Mr Jackson down below!! Mr lee is my head of year, and Mr Jackson is my D.T teacher!!!
Yesterday and today I have been taking my digital camera to school, and taking pictures of all my teachers!!!!! Apparently, we could leave any day next week, so I have to be prepared!!!
On Saturday, I am going to a ladies meeting thing at Millfield! My church have organised it all, and we even get a buffet lunch!!!!!!!!! A lady called Faith Forster is coming to speak to us, which should be encouraging!!!!
On Sunday, a team of youngsters, called Teen challenge are coming to do something at our church! My mum is going to miss it though, as she has to help at kidz church!! She has to do a talk on joy!!!
In the afternoon, My family and I are going to my grandad's house to have lunch, cooked by my Auntie Rebecca!!!! Yummmmmmm!!!!!
