Damn me and my forgetful mind. I seriously did completely forget about my blog for a while. Though I’ve had other things on my mind, I still should have updated to let you know I was okay. Which I am. In fact I’m pulling along quite well. Sam and I have been talking about moving to Surrey (London), where I grew up. It’s 200 miles from where we are now but it’s definitely what I want. I’m back and forth from that damned place but this time I want it to be a permanent move and Sam is backing me all the way, so it looks like we’re set to go as soon as we can afford a huge down payment on a flat. Looking to move before Christmas, so we can spend it there together

Other things are generally still pretty crappy. Not been feeling too great the past few weeks but pulling along as normal. Money is very tight and I’ve been living off 8p noodles again, but food is food and I even managed to scrape enough to treat myself to a Chinese dinner tonight!

You may be shocked to know that I also join a gym. Sam paid for my membership and well… best choice I’ve ever made I think! I just want to tone up a little, get back into the small clothes I used to wear. I’m not far off, they’re just a bit tight on the thighs/bum. My top half is still small though my arms are pretty flabby haha But I start as I mean to go on and this diet is the best I’ve been on in a while.

Anyway this was just a quick update as it’s 4am and I’m not really up to typing a whole essay out about how boring and uneventful my life has been the past few weeks. So I’ll stop here and let you get on. But yeah.. I’m still around. Just been a little quiet recently

I forgot to mention that Blossom died on the weekend. Saturday morning I found her. She was only like 7 days in my care and I did everything to keep her comfortable. It doesn’t seem right, but there we go. RIP Blossom Awww… poor hamster.

So anyway, annoyed right now! It’s 4am and I should be going to sleep but I just lost out on Poker and made myself mad. Then I’ve got the TV on watching people bang on about “You slept with him and her and him, the baby isn’t mine!” and then find out they’re completely wrong. Then the TV asks me if I would like to perform my daily software upgrade. Would you like to perform the daily upgrade? No thank you Mr Freeview Box. Okay, I’ll do it anyway.

Seriously - what is the point of me stretching to pick up the damn remote, find the right button to say no to it but then it pops up again less than a minute later. Obviously you won’t let me rest until I damn well upgrade you so just do it - what’s the point in asking!?

It’s like when someone says “What would you like to do this evening? Eat or go for a drink?” You tell them you want to eat and they say, “Oh well I wanted to drink so we’ll do that instead yeah?” It’s like… why the hell did you ask me in the first place then? I know a few people I could mark guilty for that. Grrr… 4am makes me moody.

But if it’s any consolation, there are new things up all over the place. Check out each section, hundreds of pages have been added

So I started an online “magazine” type of site, designed to give advice and the latest gossip to teens all around the world. It contains the articles that used to feature on Dusted Petals plus a whole lot more. The site is located at Smoochable.ORG, go see!

So a few things. Blossom, the new hamster has settled in. She keeps me up all night unlike Mr Ham, he was too fat to do anything much, hah. I’ve booked a hair appointment too, for highlights and a cut. Not had it trimmed since last October so as you can imagine it’s getting a little out of control. I booked it for Tuesday so I can go away on the Friday with my new do.

I’ll be travelling back to Somerset next Friday to celebrate my birthday (on the 29th April). I’m meeting with my best friend back from school, we haven’t caught up in years so it’s going to be great. We’ll probably shop in the day and go to a few clubs on the Saturday night. Tuesday I’ll be back in Devon for my birthday.

Also - I’ve decided to go back to College in September but it’ll be in Somerset where I used to go to college, so I’ll need to save for a car plus the course fees by September. I’m being tight with my money but it’ll be worth it in the end. Also - the compensation money I get from the car accident will help a lot, whatever amount it turns out to be. So wish me luck with that! I’ll need around £3500 altogether, to buy a car and pay the insurance off for a year plus around £900 course fees, possibly more.

Sam better get me something nice, hehe

Okay so I’ve been pretty busy lately. I went to visit my granma in London with my mum for a week, resulting in a car accident, two collisions with a drink driver and a very bad case of whiplash. The bright side being that I can claim high compensation which should come through in a few months. The dark side being that I’ve spent most of my time laid in bed complaining about the aches and pains shooting through my neck and spine. But apart from that - there isn’t much to moan about.

If you live alone and can’t stand shopping for food, I suggest ordering online. I ordered my shopping from ASDA with a £5 delivery charge and had around 2 months worth of shopping sent to me. Can’t complain about that, considering I can only carry three or four small bags each time I visit there and the train costs about £4 for a return ticket. But the best thing was that they accidently gave me two extra bags full of items. Now I’m not one to admit mistakes when they’re in my favour, so for dinner tonight I enjoyed a tasty Piri Piri Chicken microwave meal that wasn’t even on my list. Fantastic!

As you can see all the articles have been removed from this site. This will now be a personal/tutorial/graphic site only. My blog will stay here. Articles are on a new teen fashion, celebrity & article based website I’ve been putting together over the past week or so. Once all is up and running smoothly I shall share the link.

And the best news of all is that Sam’s lump was not cancer. Just an abnormal cyst. What a relief that brought for everyone. Thank you for your supportive comments on the last blog though, it did mean an awful lot to us both

I’m not moving away to this new town on the 25th anymore. No no, in fact I’m leaving in three days. Saturday morning I’ll be throwing my stuff into the back of my mum’s mondeo and venturing off toward my new life. Of course I’ll be back two hours later to pick up more stuff haha, but once it’s all there - that’s it. I’m excited but frightened at the same time. I’ve yet to find a full time job still and only have weekend work in a nightclub for the minute - but plan to call as many bars and hotels as I can for full time work. Let’s hope it all goes well. If not I’ll look into my administration quialifications and see if any reception or admin work is going - though I’d much prefer to be in the bar trade. Still - I can always change jobs

I’ve been speaking to a guy from that town on MSN for weeks now, we talk for hours and hours upon end about useless nothings. He’s a really sweet guy and has promised to show me around the town. Plus my new landlady called me and told me she’s more than happy to drive me around and pick me up at 3am when I finish working in the clubs on the weekends. Now how generous is that? It’s so lovely to know I’ll finally have two new housemates that aren’t complete tossers.

As for online related things. I’ve updated a lot on this site and added new pages here and there. If you check the menu on “Recent Updates” you’ll see I’ve added two new sections and lots of subpages elsewhere. Hope that keeps you busy for a while

Take care x I’ll probably blog next either just before I go or when I’m already there! Working my last shift at the bar tomorrow and then Friday night is my leaving do. Very exciting, very emotional. I’ll miss my friends something rotten. But a new start is the best thing I could ever choose to do.
