A Week With My Girlfriend

Hey Guys!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently just nothing has really been that interesting to blog about, until February half term (16th-20th) where my girlfriend travelled from London to Southport (7 hours) to see me and spend five days, Monday to Friday, with me. So I thought to do a blog post to keep some of the memories here.

Monday

  My Girl left London to begin the long journey up north at 12:30 and after seven hours of much confusion (due to the coach going different ways than what the itinerary said) and stalking using the National Express coach Tracker I got the text to say that she was finally here. Filled with lots of excitement I literally ran downstairs-as she was meant to text me when she was at the stop before but due to a delay they completely by passed it and went another way- to tell my mum she was in town now and we needed to leave! After a 5 minute journey we met for the 3rd time in 5 years, we then went back to mine and just talked for pretty much the whole night. 

Tuesday
  This was our first full day together so we took a trip into the beautiful city of Liverpool on about two hours sleep, and showed her some of the sights, we took a trip to the World Museum but gave up after about 5 minutes due to it being packed (never go to fairly small museums when its the half term holidays you literally have to trip over children to move around.) we went back into Liverpool ONE and bought each others valentines presents, we agreed that we would choose our own presents but the other person would pay because we never know what to get each other, had a little walk down by the docks, looked for the hotel me and my mum are staying in in May, before getting the train back to Southport and going home 

Taken down on the waterfront (that light flare though!)

Wednesday

  Today we just stayed in Southport town and had a little impromptu meet up with my best friend, Jess, a couple of the girls from college, Danni and Maria, and Danni's fiance, Andy. This was a fun day which consisted of Starbucks, chats, walking, winning 922 tickets at Funland arcade and a trip to the kids play park (who would of thought we were all 18-20 year old's, personally were all just young at heart.) It was a really good day which was just filled with laughter. Although the weather wasn't the best it was good that a couple of my friends actually got to meet Simone for the first time. 

Obligatory selfie had to happen!

Thursday

This was the last full day we got to have together so we just spent it at my house talking and chilling and a little trip to Sainsbury's up the road which it decided to throw it down with rain and ended up getting soaked, bad timing happened. We just sat in the living room and watched tv for a while before dinner, this wasn't what we had planned to do because it wasn't movies, but it was super cosy just spending time together.

Friday

  We were up bright and early as Sim's coach was at 10am however we arrived half an hour early due to thinking is was later than what it was and the coach wasn't even there yet so we just spent time outside in the fresh air before she had the 7 hour long journey back down to London. 10 came we said our final goodbyes then she got on the coach and pulled away (I may of cried in the middle of town like an absolute idiot!) after the coach was gone me and mum just went shopping for a food bits before going home and sorting out my room from an amazing week spent with my most favourite person ever! 

This is the end of the post because its long and wordy and I'm nearly crying with emotion right now! Thank you to Sim for making it brilliant I can't wait to see you next (I know your reading it!) and thank you to everyone else for taking time out their day to see what we got up to.

See you all again soon

#MakeItHappy Project

Hey Guys!

This is a slightly different post which is filled with procrastination and all that good stuff because all this week I have had a block week in placement and basically done that and nothing else because ive been to tired (might be over worked or maybe anaemia has returned...) although i did go to town at night last weekend for the first time ever which was a really strange experience if I'm being honest although it was fun to just chat to my best friend for a while!

This post is completely not sponsored, I'm to small for any of that malarky and don't really fancy using advertisers, I just want to keep it as my little space on the internet for everyone to enjoy, but I was watching a video by Hannah Hart on YouTube, she has teamed up with Coca-Cola, to help make the internet world a happier place!

Now for me this sparks a big interest as myself has experienced hate on Facebook when I was still in high school, just for having an opinion on something and uploading my own YouTube videos.

Hannah made three YouTubers (Jenna Marbles, iiSuperwomanii and Colleen/ also known as Miranda Sings) read out some of the hate they receive  , then after this she made them read out a positive. This made me think that humans are always so quick to judge other people without thinking how that one comment could affect that person (I have seen this a lot recently through watching Celebrity Big Brother over here in England you honestly need to watch it if you haven't already) and we find it difficult to spread positive vibes around, which is what I try to because of what I've been through.

I thought of a good way to do this as a challenge through blogging, if you leave a super positive comment on the next blog post you read, think about how that would make that blogger feel, a) by know someone enjoys their blog post and b) someone likes them and what their blog is all about. You never friendships me even be made! Also if you have a favourite blogger who has lots of followers (such as Sprinkle of Glitter, Tanya Burr or Zoella) think about how they will feel, also if that person recieves a lot of hate on other social media platforms, they may retreat to their blog for a while and get that warm fuzzy feeling inside that people out there like them for who they are.

I want to try and make more thoughtful posts in the future where i just blurt out everything thats in my head as I think a lot but for now I'll speak to you soon

Hey Guys!

I know I haven't posted in two weeks, but its because i have had a very large college assignment to do (which is completely stressing me out if I'm being quite honest) but this is blog post to say that the wonderful Sally at andallthatfairydust.blogspot.co.uk/ nominated me to do the Liebster award!

4. If you were an animal what animal would you be?

I would love to be a penguin, they are my favourite animal and the way they waddle and glide through water is amazing! When I went to London Zoo the most time spent was getting fascinated over these super cute animals!

I don't really have a style idol but someone who's fashion sense I absolutely love is Rita Ora that girl can literally pull off anything and wears really bright clothes with out fear!

6. What is your dream place to live?

London, partly because there is always something to do, new discoveries to find and its always so vibrant, but also because my girlfriend lives there!

I have recently gotten obsessed with reading, my all time favourite book that i can always just pick up is Fallen by Lauren Kate, I am currently reading Looking for Alaska by John green and I'm really enjoying that too!

At the moment it would have to be "Into the Woods - Prologue" although it is 14 minutes long which is long for only one song it is really catchy and i like it a lot!

9. If you had to choose between real life and fiction where would you rather live?

Real life 100% although I do have an imaginary land inside my head I escape to whenever I feel down or stressed out!

10. What is your favourite childhood memory?

It would have to be the yearly trips to Pontins (kind of like Butlins) or the holiday to Disneyland Paris after I had my operation, both of these hold many happy memories

The British Tag

Hey guys!

This is a bonus blog post yay!

This is a tag I found on a blog called A Piece Of Elish, and she tagged every one to to do it (British or not) to do the same. I'm going to to do the same to see if people from other parts of the world can answer these very stereotypical British questions.

Lets go!

How many cups of tea do you have a day? How many sugars?

I hardly ever drink tea I'm not a massive lover of it, I'm more of a Starbucks girl which is more american than British. When i do have tea though its not the tea that's setereotypically British, you know the brown kind, I have a green or fruit tea from Twinings.

Favourite part of the roast?

Tough decision, however for me it has to be the Aunt Bessies roast potatoes or yorkshire puddings smothered with lashings of gravy so it all goes soggy. Sounds disgusting I know but it tastes absolutely perfect ooft! 

Favourite dunking biscuit?

I love having a Penguin (strange name i know but they're perfect) or the classic bourbon for hot chocolate time!

Favourite quintessentially British past-time?

Playing lacrosse... jokes I dont even know what lacrosse even is fully i just know its British haha I love internet time (what teenager doesn't) and reading, i know they're not very British because everywhere does it but yupp!

Favourite British word?

I love saying chummy which is another word for a friend.

Cockney rhyming slang?

Apples and pears (it exists) it means going upstairs it amuses me because its fruits being used to mean something non relatable

Favourite British sweet?

Do not kill me, I haven't eaten sweets in years because i physically can not stand what is in them i mean why does gelatin have to exist EW! 

What would your pub be called?

I honestly do not have a clue I've never wanted to be a landlady haha.

No. 1 British person?

The queen! However the people who shaped my childhood and added magic and strange creatures everywhere is pretty much on par... Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and of course JK Rowling yepp Harry Potter!

Favourite shop/ restaurant?

Favourite shop is Primark, hands down as for restaurant it will have to be McDonalds for quickness or as a sit down it will be Chiquito's .

What's the first British song that pops into your head?

Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud, that mans voice is perfect!.

Marmite- love or hate?

100% hate, you can keep your marmite/ vegemite/ yeast extract ew!

I hope you all enjoyed the extra blog post about ye olde British times, like I say I tag everyone to do it! See you all again soon!

A Very Busy Week

Hey Guys!

So here it is the first blog post of 2015 and what a wild week it has been! Two pantomimes, I've had a trip into the wonderful city of Liverpool, New Years happened and also we have taken down our Christmas decorations!

Let me explain in more detail now!

Pantomimes

I'm part of Southport St John Ambulance in my town as a hobby for the last 8 years, this allows me to learn first aid hands on, and allows me to help others in need when they need it the most, as a trainee first aider i can go to local events and do minor first aid but I want to build up and do more county duties as this means i can go into Liverpool and Greater Merseyside to help out on them. 

Because of the festive season it means that lots of pantomimes have been happening at the Little Theatre in my town and we are their primary first aiders, with this we get the choice to sit in and watch the show or sit in the cafe area if we want to, because the show was Dick Whittington literally the only panto i haven't seen in the history of me going to panto's I decided to sit and watch, it was hilarious and well worth watching, they may of even played the odd frozen song (which of course I had to sing along too!) which is why I saw it again as the Christmas season draws to an end!

Liverpool

On Monday me and Jess took our yearly Christmas trip into Liverpool, my favourite place in the North West of England, we went window shopping, blew our money on ice skating (£10 for 45 minutes of hold onto the side of the rink because we were to scared to let go haha!), and even saw Liv from LivandMell on youtube and her blog is oliviacherylx.blogspot.co.uk (go check her out shes amazing at what she does!) even though i got to scared to even say hi!

We normally finish the day by having a little Starbucks date however this plan changed when Louise from sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk tweeted that her daughter lost her Bagpuss toy somewhere around Liverpool one so off we went to try and find it, after two hours of hunting we had to stop because we needed to get the train back home. It was very fun and even made a few new friends along the way!

 

Ice boots on and ready to go! (Photo from Jess)

New Years

On Thursday it was the beginning of 2015 i did a main blog post here about looking back on last year and what I'm hoping this year will bring. In my house it is tradition to have a buffet dinner for me and my mum and drink wine and watch TV (mainly the news to see the other countries see in the new year), have a good old laugh and reflect on the year that has just passed by. When the clock strikes midnight we watch the fireworks live from London and drink another glass of wine and of course sing Auld Lang Sign! I honestly can't believe were in 2015 already and this year I am going to be no longer a teenager which is kind of scary! I hope everyone has a very good 2015 and had a good new years day! 

Taking down the Decorations

As i said in this blog post we take down our decorations on the first weekend of January, which of course was this weekend. It was the first year I actually helped  my mum take them down. I did the tree and one of the garlands above the windows. It was a really strange thought because I actually wanted to do it, when normally i hate it; is this a sign that I am growing up!? 

I'm going to leave this blog post here because it is already very long so I will see you all again soon!
