So this time next year I could be living in a flat/house on my own or with Luke. Mum, Dad and Adam are moving back up to Leicester. I cried my eyes out while Luke hugged me when mum and dad text telling me. Obviously I am not going, mainly because of Luke. I know some of you may think it's a bit stupid staying down here just for him, and I think my dad in particular is included in that, but it's not just for him. Yes we have been going out for nearly 3 years and I've never been happier. But, I'm beginning to feel settled here in little Swindon. Yes I still don't have many friends here and if it wasn't for Luke then I would be jumping at the chance to go back up to Leicester. But saying that, I like how small and 'nice' Swindon is. Plus I'm close to Emma, Fallon and Marie. I would never get to see them if I moved back. So I'm staying put. I'm not sure at the moment if mum and dad think that I'm just staying until I've done my teacher training and then I'd come up there or if they know that I'll probably stay don't here indefinitely. But if they are moving away I think my teacher training is going on hold for a year or so. I can' afford a flat while I'm doing that and I know I've said this before but I am really sick of being a student and learning. It sounds stupid but I just want to wrok and be a 'grown up' lol, and at the moment I don't care where I work as long as it pays. I started looking flats the other day just to get prices and stuff, and a stupid letting agency rang my house saying they have flats for me to go see. So now my mum and dad were panicking saying don't rush into anything, we won't be moving for a year blah blah. So I had to calm them down and say I was only looking to find out my options for when the time comes and the letting agency just got excited lol. I need to get a full time job first before I can afford anything.
So apart from working part-time at Morrisons and looking for a full time job, nothing much else has been happening in my life. Oooo I got a new 26" LCD TV from Luke for my birthday....last week.....even though my birthday is tomorrow...hehe. I can't wait until next week. ENGLAND RUGBY BABY! I wish my first England match was watching a side that is playing a little better than the current one is but I think it will be a good game.. no Jonny though :(. Speaking of Jonny I really hope he doesn't go to France. I can understand why he is thinking about it and how tempting it must be for him. And he has always said he would love to play in France. But if he wanted to move I can't understand why he didn't move earlier in his career and to be honest I'm selfish and I'd miss him. It will make running wilkofans.co.uk a lot harder as well! LOL! So my plea to Jonny is PLEASE DON'T GO TO FRANCE NEWCASTLE ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD NOW! hehe.
I am officially addicted to Twitter as well....http://twitter.com/jonnyologist |

So I passed my degree!!! I'm not sure what my overall mark is because it has still got be confirmed by the exam board or something, but i definitely have a degree. So that's a weight off my mind, but now I really do need to decide what I'm going to do with my life :/.
I'm off to see England vs Scotland soon in the 6nations! My first England match ever and its on Luke's birthday. So he isn't happy that I'm not going to be with him on his birthday....but its ENGLAND RUGBY! As long as we win I'll be happy lol.
Um not a lot else has been happening. I've been making a website for my mums friends carpentry business. I was only charging him £50 but he's decided he wants to give me £100 so that's nice. |

So I hope everyone had a nice new year and Christmas. I did apart from my nan being ill so her and my gramp didn't come down. She has a hyatus hernia(sp?) which is basically server acid reflux and then her stomach lining comes up a bit as well or something, which i can imagine is unpleasant. But i think because she had trouble eating when she had her cancer (she felt sick all the time) and then she got depressed, she seems to be doing it again. But Luke has exactly the same thing and so does his mum and once you take the tablets and there are loads to try if the first ones don't work then its fine, but my nan seems to be making it worse than it is. Plus it doesn't help that my gramp treats her like an invalid helping her out of the chair and stuff which he really doesn't need to. Trust me if you saw my grandparents you would not think they were over 70. Mum and dad went up to see them on the sat after Christmas but for some reason they didn't want then to go to their house and they had to wait for them at my aunties. And when they came they only stayed for an hour and they were miserable all the time. That upset dad quite a lot. When they came home mum said they were turning into hermits and if nan doesn't eat something more than natural yogurt and banana (no wonder shes going toilet all the time! Sorry) then she won't last much longer.
I had my last uni exam on the 6th of Jan. The written part of my sports injuries. I think I have passed it. I managed to answer two questions really easy and then the other two I managed to put answers down, so i wasn't sitting there think what the hell is this going on about which is a lot LOT better than last time. I don't think I've passed it with a lot of makes but then that doesn't matter as the whole module is capped at a pass mark (40%) no matter what I actually get. So now I just have to sit and wait for my results. My presentation wasn't the best in the world but he seemed to be nodding and writing stuff when i was doing it so hopefully I've just scraped a pass on that i'm not sure if i can get under 40% on the presentation but still pass if i get a good mark on the exam. So there is nothing more I can do, I've either got a degree or not lol.
Obviously depending on if I get a degree and what degree I get will depend on what I do next. If I get a good enough one I'm still going to apply for teacher training (even though I still don't know if that is what I want to do). If not then I don't know. I think dad is going to be so disappointed in me if I don't choose teaching and if I don't get a good degree. All he tells people is Sara is going to be a teacher blah blah and if she wants she could move to Australia because they want teachers. I don't think he realizes would be his dream, he wanted to be a teacher when he left school but he did the wrong subjects or something and he would love to move to Oz, not me. So i think I'll be breaking the news to my mum first and hope she tells dad. But that can wait until i get my degree otherwise I'm just going to keep thinking about it and I can feel myself slipping back to how I felt before.
On the bright side I found out yesterday that Morrisons have agreed to give me hours in the week and stop my weekends yay! I'll have weekends free!!!!! Well I'll be working one Sunday a month which I don't mind at all because you get time and a half on a Sunday. So that will start at the end of the month. Plus I'm working extra hours for them this week and next week because Sandy is on the sick for two weeks. I worked yesterday but they rang me today wanted me to work as well, but i said no because I'd be working 8 days straight if I didn't have today off, noooo thank you!!
I'm off to Emma's not this weekend but the next to watch Quins Vs Ospreys for her b'day. She's a Quins fan but I've said Quins will be my second team for her and Tigers are her second team hehe. It should be a good weekend, I've got her meeting me at Paddington though because I've never been on the underground by myself and I just know I'll get lost lol. I'm having to Adam for some money to go and get her a present though, but as he has like £4000 in his bank I'm sure he won't miss £100! I get paid on the Friday after anyway and with these extra hours I should be able to pay him back soon enough or hope he just forgets lol.
Anyway I had better get dressed, clean my room and get back to reading the second Twilight book (I put that bit in for Kirsty :) When I get weekends off I'll be able to come see you a lot easier if you want!) |

I haven't updated in a while so I thought I should, I'm sorry.
Last week I had the flu and it was horrible. I was supposed to be doing more hours at work but I had to ring up and tell them I wouldn't be in all week including the weekend because I was so bad. I couldn't even get out of bed on Tuesday because my joints hurt so much. Even the manager I spoke to on the phone said "you don't sound to well", so I think they know I wasn't faking it. I still have a bit of a cough but I feel a lot better now. One good thing was that I got to watch some rugby on sky for once which was nice. It has made me want to look for another job even more though. One where I don't work the weekends. Plus I now know what days I am at uni, so I am taking a trip to the job center tomorrow to look for part tim jobs. Actually I am quite annoyed that my lectures are in the morning instead of the afternoon because there is an admin clerk job at Morrisons Monday-Friday, 7-12 which would have been perfect :(.
In other news, I waited at Toys R Us the other Friday for like 2 hours to get a Wii Fit lmao. I love it! The only get 16 every Friday and they go pretty quick and as they are selling for twice the price on ebay, I thought I have nothing else better to do I'll wait hehe. My Wii Fit age is 22 which I am happy with as I'm only 21 so I'm not as unfit as I thought I was lol.
I also got a new laptop and I am in love with it. It only came in the post yesterday, but it is my new baby. It's the Dell Studio 15 in PINK! And it has a fingerprint reader which is one of the main reasons I am in love with it so much lol. Instead of typing my passwords to log on I just swipe my finger, and on websites I can just swipe my finger to log onto those! So cool! lol I'm sad.
Uni starts next Thursday and I'm actually looking forward to it. Plus I can't wait to see Marie and Fallon again I miss them. I have to enroll on Thursday 25th and lectures start the next week. My lectures are on Wednesday morning and Friday morning, so not too bad. Emma is coming down the first week because we are going to see Gloucester Rugby Vs Newcastle (JONNY!). I am going to wear my Wilkofans t-shirt, we have bears to decorate and we need to make a banner. I swear he is gonna think we stalk him.....But I have said to her that I'll have to leave her at my house on the Wednesday to go to my lecture, I'm not going to miss them like last year. Then on the Thursday we are going to Worcester to watch Harlequins Vs Worcester (Emma supports Harlequins). I'm driving so dad has taken me on the motorway to get me used to it, but I think we are going to go on it again this week when it it busier. It seemed pretty straight forward though so I think I will do ok. Not getting lost will be the hardest part lol.
Ooo I don't know If I said but mum got a new Job! She started at the beginning of September. It is the same as what she was doing in Endoscopy back in Leicester, so that is good. She seems to like it I think. It does mean dad is going to stop working nights now otherwise they'll just be in the same situation as when she worked at Morrisons and well we know what happened then.
I think that is it, I might take a trip to Cheltenham on Thursday when I enroll seeing as its only 10 mins from Gloucester, they have better shops there lol. |

I am sooooo happy! I went to the england training session and at the end they had a signing thingy and I got Jonny's autograph twice. At first I thought he wasn't going to come over but he was waiting for all the other players to go. So I raced over to where he was and got him to sign a copy of rugby world with him on and then I got moved on by security. But as we were leaving dad went toilet and I noticed we were right next to where he was so I went back in, got right infront of him and said can we have a photo for wilkofans and he smiled and laughed and said sure and he looked at my wilkofans t-shirt, signed my book with take care, hope you like it! and I gave him a wilkofans.co.uk fridge magnet and he laughed lol!!! SO i'm happy because as soon as I said wilkofans he knew what I was going on about which shows he does read his letters and I got a better message on my book than all the other people that just got Jonny Wilkinson :D :D. |

Im off to see england rugby train tomorrow eeee! I'm so excited although Jonny hasn't played since his op so fingers crossed he will be there even if he is injured.
I'm still trying to do my stupid SPAM assignment for next monday. It's so boring I can't get into it, hence why I am on here destracting myself lol.
I've been doing extra hours at work which I'm loving for the money but hating because I can't stay up and watch the olympics and have to do with the highlights. We're doing well aren't we?! woo!
I really need more friends on AIM lmao everytime I sign on I have no one sigh. |

[Jun. 3rd, 2008|12:27 pm] |
The one day i wanted and needed to go up town to get some new shoes for work and it pisses it down. So now im stuck inside bored. I would still go to town but it is really heavy rain and has been since like 5am and I really don't want to get soaked before I got to work this afternoon. Yes I am doing extra hours at work :o! Mainly because they were desperate and after the decision I made the other day I now have nothing to do and need the money.
So, some of you may remember that I failed my inury exams in January because what they wanted us to do for them was just way too much. Well this week I was supposed to have the re-takes. I didn't go. Basically with all that has happened with me this semester I've found it hard to revise and get the work done for the modules I've had since January to now. As a result, I haven't been able to put the hours in to leanr the injury stuffand if i had gone to the exam I would have failed it. I was sat there the other day trying to revise for it amd all I saw was words and pictures and I just burst into tears. So, basically I have decided that I am re doing the whole module again in September to January, which means I won't be graduating this year. I know Luke wasn't happy and think im wasting time and gave up and yes a year extra is a lot for one module. But to be honest I m not even confident that I've passed this semesters assignment and exams so I could have to go back and re do them. Plus as i said I would not have passed injury if I had gone. I need to go to the lectures and practical sessions for me to be able to understand it and learn it. So um yeah. Plus I get to graduate with Fallon and Marie instead of on my own, but no that is not why I am doing it. The only thing i need to figure out now is how to tell mum and dad. I'm not very good at telling them stuff like this because I don't like them being disappointed in me. But then I know my parents and I don't think they will be but them im not sure lol. So any help in what to say would be lovely lol. I know I'll probably tell my mum first and hope she tells dad because he'll be the most disappointed.
So all my exams are finished. I think they went ok (fingers crossed). I didn't speak to anyone while I was at uni doing them, mainly because I have no friends there now. Only people who I used to just say hi to or would only talk to me becasue I was with Fallon or Nat, and they didn't attempt to say anything to me in the exams so um yeah. Im such a loner.
Because of re doing the module I'm not sure what to do about work. I still don't want to work weekends but I can't get a full time job in the week until January because of having to go to uni 1 or 2 days a week. I think im gonna do extra hours at morrisons over the summer then when it gets to september as if i can work in week and not weekends. I know people who work there say they won't let me but you don't know until you try and even if I can just not do saturdays would be a bonus. I want to watch the rugby on sky now i have it in my room lol. And be able to go to some of the matches withou having to use my holiday to book the day of or ring in sick.
My car had its MOT last week and failed which i knew it would. But apparently it just needs a service so thats getting done next wednsday which is just in time so that I don't have to re-pay for the MOT. Then finally i can get it taxed, insured and drive it woo! Plus it means i can sell my bike. I'm transfering my no claims over from my bike to my car hopefully so i've not been able to insure my ect until I had money to get it all MOT and taxed ect, So i've not driven since my test lol. I should get my insurance quote but i have to ring up because stupid direct line don't have the motorbike car swapping option on their quote form thingy but they do do it grrr! I just hate talking on the phone, Im a whimp lol!
Ok im done don't know what else to say! TTFN! |

I shouldn't really be updating as i have an assignment due on thursday and I've only written 200 words when it should be 2100. I'll get it done eventually lol, I needed a break. I feel like poop because I've got a stupid head cold. My throat hurts and everytime I swallow or talk my ears hurt I hate it.
Sad news :( Ive got to send my sidekick to be repaired lol. Luke and my family have been having a go at me because everytime they try and ring me it just goes to my answer phone and it doesn't ring at my end because I keep loosing service which also means I can't ring people. If I was in trouble I'd be screwed. So I've got to take it in and they'll send it off. I just don't want it to take weeks like Kirsty's I quite like having my lil sk slide eventhough i secretly want a sk3 just because of the way it opens lol.
Still looking for a new job I never knew how hard it actually was, I'm probably not look in gthe correct place. I have found some on the job centre website though. hmm back to my assignment....joy! |

God the weather is awful! I'm sat here still strying to do my SPAM assignment which was due in on wednesday...I am findin this the hardest assignment that I have ever had to do. That could be due to the fact that I have no interest in uni anymore and no interest in what this assignment is about, but also I cannot find any journal articles about it! But im up to 1000 words only another 1000 to go so woo! lol.
:D look and LOOK at what I got :D. Emma made the card isn't it brilliant. I was so happy when i got it yesterday :D :D :D.

Well apparently I am now officially old lol! Everyone keeps asking me how it feels to be 21? Ummm no different, except that another year has passed and I still don't know what I want to do with my life, apart from be Fallons web consultant for her business she is starting up. I'm making a site for her and she says she'll pay me....eventually, but I like doing it so I don't mind if I don't get paid. Plus as I had to put money in her account so that she could come out on Saturday for my b'day says that will never happen lol. I'm really glad she came and I think she was too. Me, Luke, Adam, Fallon and Steve went out. We met up with Nikki and her friend from Lukes work later and It was a really good night apart from getting soaked and me being stupid and losing my ballon after 5 minutes lol. I'll have to put the photos up on facebook.
Prezzie list:
This ring from Luke <3
My outfit, the rest of season 1 and all of season 2 of Dr Who, 2 pairs of jeans, a skirt, underwear all from Luke.
A sat nav from Mum, Dad and Adam <3!
A beautiful bangle from Lukes mum and dad.
A groovy picture frame from Lukes sister.
A necklace from my uncle and auntie.
£100 from nan and grampa
£21 from Lukes gramp awww!
It amazed me though I didn't get one thing with a key on! Not even a card lmao! OOO I did the euro millions on the friday because the jackpot was £21 mill and the number 21 came out which I had and I won...£7 lol!

This entry is way overdue but with everything that has been happening I've not had the time or wanted to write it.
Mum no longer works at Morrisions with me anymore. I can't remember if I said she did, but she did. She left two weeks ago. I'm not going to go into all the details as to why because it's really personal between my mum and dad, but basically it was because they never saw each other and well 'stuff' happened which they are trying to sort out now. I don't think mum really liked it there either. It was quite hard for her with her arthritus and the hours just didn't suit her or dad. So at the moment she isn't working, but she has got an interview for a job back at the hospital on the 14th of March, so fingers crossed.
From that incedent mum and dad have decided to move house...again. I think it is more dad than mum. He has never liked our house that much, it was just we were homeless for a week when we first moved down here and so needed to move fast. everyone else loves our house including me, Adam, mum and Luke lol. But if dads not happy he never will be and that just won't help the situation. Plus he's having to do overtime everyweek just to pay the mortgage which really isn't good. I've been to see a few houses with them and there is one that i absolutely love and everyone else really likes. So hopefull if ours sells then we're going to put an offer in for that one. Its only 5-10 mins from where our house is now so I won't have far to go for work yay! lol.
Talking of work, as I've said in previous entries I've been struggling to decide what I want to do with my life now and after uni. I have decided to 'take a year off'. Basically, Sport is one of the hardest PGCE's to get into even if you've got experience. As I have no experience or coaching qualifications at all I cannot see myself getting in this year. Plus my tutor still hasn't done my reference and I asked at christmas for him to do it! So I'm going to take a year our of education, as I've had no break from it all my life and just work, get money and use that money to take some coaching qualifactions to see if teaching is really what I want to do and if I'd be anygood at it. I think it will give me the opportunity to explore other jobs in the sporting field as well. I'm just so fed up with uni at the mmoment and not wanted to go that I just think I need a break from the whole education and learning thing. I've been in education for what 16 ish years of my life non-stop, I just need a break. I kind of told mum this morning, well mentioned it and she didn't seem to angry at my idea or anything, I'm hoping she'll tell dad though lol. I just don't want them to think I've let them down and wasted my life and that I'm going to turn out like Adam because I won't even if i don' know hwta I want to do I'll still work and earn money until i decide.
Finally I'M 21 IN 12 DAYS!!!!!!!! I can't wait!! I'm actually going out on the saturday night so if any of you are in Swindon come along lol! I did ask Fallon if she wanted to come but she's short on money and says she can't :( Kirsty I think you'll be at uni or I would have asked you to come :( :( :(. We're having a meal on the Sunday with my grandparents who are coming down so that will be nice.
I think thats it hope you all have a great week, I'm sorry if I haven't commented on your entries in while I never know what to say most of the time! lol! |
