Happy Birthday!

Today is my brother, Aaron’s, birthday. He is 14. I haven’t written anything for a few days because there hasn’t really been a lot to write about.

Yesterday I was at work again. It was unbelievably busy as the rota had been messed up so we were short staffed. So I ended up working all over the place, I worked in the ticket and main shop for most of the day with Haley and Scott, then for about an hour or so I got trained by Abbie on how to work in the ice cream kiosk, which turned out to be fairly simple! It was just so busy, apart from my lunch break I didn’t really stop until 6pm.

Once I left work I had to go down to Tescos with my Dad because I needed to get a present for Aaron and I wanted to pick up an external hard drive as they were on offer! I also picked up a mouse to use with my laptop. I also bumped into Kersha and her mum Nina, we had a good catch up and chat about loads of stuff.

I then went down to the Chinese and fish and chip shop with my Dad to get some tea.

This morning Aaron woke me up at 5am because he wanted to open his presents… I wasn’t happy seeing as it is my day off from work I wanted to be able to have a lie in. It didn’t happen although he did like the dvd I got him, so that was good.

Me and my Mum and Dad then went to Tescos (again!) to go and get some food as we don’t have a lot in our house, I wanted to get a new purse but I didn’t like any in Tescos so we went down to the factory shop and I was able to pick a really nice one up in there for £2 and I got two new pairs of plimsolls.

We then went to the beafeater to have a meal to celebrate Aaron’s birthday, everything took ages to arrive but the food was really good! I love the food there especially the chocolate fudge brownie sundaes.

Once we came home I’ve spent the evening trying to come up with some ideas for my own business with Scott and he’s come up with some really good stuff for me! I really appreciate it, he’s really good with ideas and helping me out with things like this. I feel really bad though because the last few days I’ve been really snappy with him because I’ve been so tired, and worn out from work and the lack of sleep I’ve been having. But I’m so glad he’s there for me through it all, and I’m so glad he puts up with everything he does from me because I love him so much.

Not a lot else to say really, back to work tomorrow!

Plenty to do today

Today has been quite a busy day.

First thing this morning I spoke to Scott on skype, we had a really good chat so it was a nice way to start the morning off!

Then I had to bike to work which is 3.3 miles from my house it only took me 30 minutes to get there though which was a lot faster than I thought it would take me, it meant that I arrived an hour early for work! I had issues with my bike lock as it didn’t even work… It wasn’t too bad arriving to work early as Bethany arrived about 15 minutes after I did so I wasn’t on my own for long, we had a nice little chat and then went into work on time, checked the rota and waited for everyone to arrive.

We all walked down to the play barn apart from Rosie and Scott as they were working in the shop, as soon as we got in the door at the play barn Bethany got a phone call from May saying that I needed to go down to the shop, so I walked all the way back again.

Once I got in the shop I had full till training on the new till, there was a few people arriving to begin with but as we had bad weather it wasn’t that busy. As there wasn’t many people to admit into the park me and Rosie ended up bagging animal feed to sell, we had quite a good chat while we were doing it too. Then May cam and asked if I could help clean the fish filter with her so we spent quite a while making sure that was totally clean and hosing it down, it was quite funny as May kept worrying about me getting my shoes wet. Then I got asked to catch a guinea pig which was quite easy, it got taken out to an event. When I came back into the shop Rosie was going home because she felt ill so then I spent a while selling tickets and various other items in the shop.

I got to have my lunch at 2pm and went outside with Megan and Bethany and ate my lunch while they had their fags, as their lunch finished before mine we went in early and I finished my lunch inside. When I finished my lunch break Bethany had come down from the play barn to help out in the shop. We spent a while filling up more bags of feed to sell as the shop was really quiet. I was then sent off to go do litter picking which took ages as people seem to find it really difficult to put their rubbish in the bins! Once I had done that I did various other little jobs in the shop, tiding up and things like that. Then May showed me how to clean the outside toilets round the park and the ball pit that took quite a while today and isn’t the best job to be given at work! When I had finished that I went back into the shop and helped Bethany to make some keyrings, then I got to go home!

My Dad came to pick me and my bike up so that I didn’t have to bike all the way home which was pretty nice. My phone started playing up so since about 6.15 I haven’t been receiving texts properly, I think I may have sorted it now but I don’t know…

Scott has been to hospital again, he’s cracked his knee cap… I really hate it when he’s hurt himself coz it really worried me especially as when we’re so far apart I can’t do anything to help.

Been collecting some more software onto my laptop, I now have mac’s photobooth on my windows laptop and I also have sony vegas pro.

Not a lot else to say really, just watching Manchester United in the champions league final and then I’m going to bed because I’m really tired.

Sometimes Life Is Busy...

 

Friday Night – Work Outing (Lucky Star & Bowling)

Friday I ended up coming home from college early as I didn’t want to sit through endless optional revision sessions.

I spent the afternoon at Bethany’s having a catch up, we then went to the station to catch (and meet everyone else on) the train. Originally for our work evening out we were supposed to go to Nando’s but because we were going to have to wait 50 minutes for a table big enough to fit us all on (9 people; me, Bethany, Lucy, Megan, May, Scott, Josh, Lucy and Rosie) we decided to go to the Luck Star instead which is an all you can eat Chinese Buffet. We all ate loads of food and as Bethany put it – went into food comas. Lovely May paid for everyone’s food too! We then went bowling although Josh and Scott didn’t come as they were going to a party instead. Bowling was hilarious as May wanted to get us all drunk, plus we were all terrible at bowling. It was a really great evening generally as it was good fun and everyone was just really relaxed. We got a taxi home at about half 11, the taxi journey was really funny as we were all a little bit tipsy.

 

Saturday – Work

This morning was quite a struggle to get up due to the late night, BUT I did manage to get up and out of bed at 7:30 am which I thought was pretty impressive.

I started my day this morning talking to Scott on Skype, which was really nice way to start the day off. Especially now that everything is good between us again, we had a really good conversation and had a good laugh together too.

Today has felt like a really long day as it was really busy at work. I’m starting to feel more settled in the job because I’m becoming more familiar with everything. There are new tills though which are slightly more confusing than the old ones but I’m sure it won’t take too long to get used to them!

I’m starting to come down with a cold but I think that’s because of the lack of sleep I’ve had over the past week or so. I’m planning on having an early night so that I’m prepared for work tomorrow!

I got a certificate

Today at college it seemed to be a complete waste of time.

First lesson, business, all we did was some revisions sheets that we had done before.

Second lesson was actually worth going in for I got my certificate for the health course I have been doing, plus i got my t-shirt. Plus our photo is going to be in the college magazine.

Third lesson, media, all we did was play singstar. Me, Shona and Becka best Joe and Saffy it was good fun, but really a waste of an hour and a half.

Last lessons was ICT and it was yet again really pointless. All we did was go through stuff we had done before.

I’m really tired now and just want to cuddle up in bed with Scott… I can’t wait to see him. I really miss him. I’m so glad that we have sorted everything out and that it’s all good between us again.

I’m going out tomorrow night with work, I’m going to my friend Bethany’s (who I haven’t seen since leaving secondary school) house, then we’re getting the train together, then meeting everyone at Nando’s and going bowling. Should be a really good night! I’m really looking forward to it. Although I’m working Saturday and Sunday so lack of sleep may kick in at some point.

Bout it really…

Exams, stress & more stress

 

Today has been surprisingly good although I’ve been tired all day which hasn’t been to great. Plus it was a full day at college without any frees, although I had a laugh with everyone which made it feel as though the day was passing really fast.

I have my media exam tomorrow, I’m starting to get really nervous for it I don’t feel prepared at all… BUT I have a free first thing tomorrow which means I can revise then.

I have reached just over 900 entries for my data entry job this month, I’m quite pleased with that considering I have really spent much time doing it.

Me and Scott still aren’t great but things are improving although I have just found out next summer he isn’t going to be around at all, add that to the fact we aren’t going to be able to speak/ see each other for 3 weeks this summer, its just…. We don’t get to spend the time together I would want us to anyways now we won’t get to spend the time we could actually be able to spend together. Its frustrating/ annoying/ upsetting…. I don’t know. But there things Scott wants to do so I can’t get in the way of that. Plus next summer is going to be really important for me because it’s the summer before I go off to uni so it would have been nice to have him around for that, but he’s got things he wants to do so…. These things happen, just can’t focus on them too much until they happen. Plus I was hoping that maybe we could have gone away together as I would be 18 by then but we can’t seeing as he won’t be around next summer and I didn’t want to tell Scott because I was hoping to surprise him bit late for all that now.

Not a lot else to say really, need to catch up on my sleep!

A day By The Sea

I woke up really early this morning purely down to the fact that I just couldn’t sleep and hadn’t been able to all night. So I spent  a while just sorting out my e-mails and stuff.

Once everyone else in my family got up I got ready and then me, my mum and my dad went to Cromer. Cromer is a beach on the Norfolk coast. This was because my dad has to pick up some stuff he had won on ebay. We carried on driving from the persons house so that we were actually on the coast and then got some fish and chips, once we finished lunch we headed back home.

Right now I’m facing a pile of college coursework and two really long lists of data entry to do.
