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!

Pictures from my day at London!




These are a few of my pictures that I took in London!

Tuesday, August 01, 2006

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!!
