Hey everyone it’s been longer than I initially anticipated but I’ve been so busy with my assignments, I’ve had three due in by 18th December so I’ve been working really hard and I’ve not even been on twitter very much. I managed to finish them all and I’ve handed them in now.
I’m going to be working on the site over Christmas yayyyyy!!!!!! hopefully anyway, I have yet to finish some Christmas shopping and I’ve got to wrap presents.

Like I said in the last blog Christmas is my favourite holiday and i love to get involved because I love it so much. With my assignment I’ve not had much time but because I’ve finished now I’ve put the tree and the decorations up and I love to wrap presents and help with Christmas dinner so it doesn’t leave a lot of time for myself obviously.

Recently I’ve noticed that there has been a little clique forming in our flat with some of the flatmates doing everything together. I ignored this at first because I thought I was being a little oversensitive and paranoid but then on monday morning I was awake fairly early because I needed to do my assignment and I heard everyone going out and I thought that’s strange they’re never up before noon and then I thought they’re going looking at a house for next year without me. Then i thought don’t be silly .
They came back a little while later and everyone was in the kitchen so I decided to walk in and get some breakfast. And they all had these application forms and were talking about this house and I sat there quietly thinking they’ve gone looking at a house because theyre not going to live with me next year

Then George said did we get an application form for Toby and the others were like yeah and so I was like yep they’ve definitely not included me. So when it’d died down a bit I asked them how many bedrooms it was and Rachel said 7 and I was like oh and then walked out.
So everyone is living in this house except me and Daisy because we’re not part of their little clique. I was so angry I told Daisy and she was pissed because I thought we were all friends and to stab us in the back like that.
I am still really angry about it all but they’re not my friends anymore in fact it’s taking all of my effort to be civil I’m just so pissed off. Me and Daisy are gonna live together next year though hopefully so.

Anyway not to put a dampener on things Happy Holidays to everyone :)

Hey everyone, today is the first of December and means Christmas is soon!! I’m excited, I love Christmas and everything about it, but mainly the nostalgia of it, I love how Christmas always brings back memories of when I was younger.
My favourite things about xmas holidays are
decorating the tree
the smell of the turkey cooking in the middle of the night
being so full after Christmas dinner
going to my grans house on new years eve and having the fire on and having a buffet

Anyway I’ve still got some assignments to do before I go home for the Xmas holidays so those need to be finished then I can go home. Also I’m hoping that when I go home I can actually work on this site, my early new years resolution will be to keep up more with this site

I’m going to get on top of things this week I’m going to make those icon requests and to make some Christmas graphics and to finish the new layout. I’m just waiting on my mouse coming because I can’t really make graphics with a laptop touchpad on Photoshop.

I’m also going to have an affiliate clean up and generally revamp the site.

And finally I’d just like to add a small note about what’s going on in the “I’m secretly in love with my roommate who’s dating my friend from the other building”
His sister came up at the weekend for her 18th birthday because none of her friends are 18 and she came to party with us. I got on quite well with her actually it was good we had a good time.
George is being weird with me and I don’t understand, in fact I don’t understand him most of the time, and they say girls are complicated.
It’s like we always tease each other anyway because that’s what we do but then because his sister was there he offered me a cookie and I was like “as if you’d offer me a cookie if your sister wasn’t here” because it’s true, he wouldn’t out of spite. And he was extra teasing calling me by my full name because he knows I hate it, we were also finishing each other’s sentences because when we were talking to Ami (his sister) I’d be saying something then he’d finish it then I’d say something and he’d finish it.
Then he was off with me the next day when Jess was around like treating me like an acquaintance just acknowledging me then not saying anything, then today it seemed like he was in a mood with me but later on tonight he was all fine with me again

Here’s some recent pictures only the first one is of me and Ami because I couldnt find anymore where I don’t look absolutely wasted

Me & Ami Me & George Me & George

What’s your favourite part about Christmas?

hey everyone
So last weekend we get a letter through our flat door telling us there’s an inspection on Monday and George had already gone home for the weekend, and Daisy was going home to Devon as well , (but more about that later) so I decided to go home for the weekend as well and tidied my room before I went, because they were inspecting our rooms as well as the kitchen. Then I tidied the kitchen and hoovered before I went home.
I find out on Sunday morning our kitchen got trashed while Rachel was out and Toby was in bed so we were like :@ who trashed our flat, and we came to the conclusion it must be Alfie because why would random people come into the flat with their own food and smash it up all over the floor.
So when Alfie came into the flat on Monday Rachel cornered him

Rachel: “did you and your friends come in on friday and trash the flat”
Alfie: “no”
Rachel: “oh right coz the flat got trashed and I was out and everyone else had gone home, I’m gonna go to reception and ask for the CCTV anyway
Alfie: *looks nervous* “oh I don’t think it was us, I mean we were pretty drunk but I don’t think it was us”
Rachel: “okay then”

Rachel then went to uni and me and Daisy hung out in my room for a bit and we had our flat inspection. We haven’t got a letter back yet but we think we’ve done okay.
So Rach gets back from uni at like half 3 and she had a note under her door saying

just spoke to my girlfriend and she said it was her, She said she’ll clean it up after she comes back from lectures,
Sorry Alfie

by this time though Rachel had already re-cleaned the kitchen for the inspection so she said there’s no point because i’ve already cleaned it now, I appreciate your apology.

There’s been a lot of tension in the flat lately because George keeps moaning about EVERYTHING especially to do with tidying up and it’s like just get on with it instead of keep moaning about it.

I watched New Moon last night it was pretty good, better than the last one. I think I’ve switched teams to Team Jacob hehehe, it’s that body! lol

Things with George are same, as ever! it’s difficult to watch but I manage most of the time, I just hate seeing how she is with him everything is on her terms and he’s happy to comply he’s changing loads of stuff about himself so he likes what she likes it’s like get a grip!! Anyway there’s nothing I can do but sit back and watch.

I’m off to Opus tonight I’ve not had a night out since Halloween! and I need to take pictures of clubs for my project so it’s also doing work as well!!

I also had an assignment due this week so i was working hard on it, I don’t know what I’ve got yet but it’s worth 25% of my credits so I hope I do alright on it

I always say I’ll update more often and I don’t end up doing! lol I’m working on a new layout though at the moment so it should be up in a couple of days but knowing me it’ll probably be December LMAO!

If you’re aware from my tweets, I had tonsillitis last week, it was really bad. I’m still on antibiotics until tomorrow, I’m feeling fine now though. It started on Monday night, I had a sore throat and I could feel it swelling up and I thought oh no I’m gonna have one of my typical sore throats again because I do have quite bad sore throats anyway. So I didn’t have any throat spray because George had used the last of mine.
I asked if anyone had any vodka so I could drink it neat and kill whatever was there but no-one had any so I had to go without, so I took some Ibuprofen to hopefully bring down the swelling so I could go to the chemist in the morning for a throat spray.

About 11pm I was really cold and I needed to have a shower anyway so I put my heating on for 15 mins and got in the shower and had a nice hot shower and when I got out I was quite warm. I was tired and was up at 7.45am the next day so I decided to get some sleep. At 2am however I was very hot which I didn’t understand because my heating wasn’t on so I opened my window and threw the covers off me to cool down but so I didn’t get a chill. I still wasn’t cooling down though however and I felt like shit at this point, my throat was still killing me and I was so hot so I thought to myself “I’ve got a fever here” so I got a cold compress to put on my head and rang my mum to tell her I really didn’t feel well and she said she’d pick me up.
Luckily I only live about 20 mins away from uni so it didn’t take long for her to get here so she came and picked me up. I’d collected some stuff for a few days and then my mum took me home. I still had a fever but i managed to get a bit of sleep.
The next day I could hardly swallow my throat was swollen that badly I had to drink water through a straw and solid foods weren’t happening at all. I was so dehydrated as well because of the fever but I couldn’t drink the amount I wanted which killed me.
When she checked on me in the afternoon she had a look in my throat and she saw how bad it was and I still had a fever so she rang the doctor but they were like “oh we dont have any appointments until thursday” and my mum was like “she needs to see a doctor now” and the woman was like “ring the walk in centre” so my mum rang to see how long the wait was and then we drove to the walk in centre.

I waited about 40 minutes then I saw the first nurse who assessed me and she took my temperature and my pulse and I was 102F which is 39.5C which is really quite high and my pulse was 138 and I was sat down! so the nurse was like O.O I’ll put you on an urgent. So I went back in the waiting room and 5 minutes later I saw the senior nurse who told me I had to take paracetamol and ibuprofen every few hours and she gave me penicillin as well because she diagnosed me with tonsillitis.

I had to take the penicillin every 6 hours so I had to get up at 6am and go to sleep at 12am every night.
The pills also gave me really bad stomach ache so on thursday I went to the doctors and got my pills changed to another antibiotic which worked.
I’m on my last day today wooooot :)

The only thing that bummed me out was it was George’s birthday weekend last weekend and all his friends came up and I couldn’t go because I was still ill :( :( :(

I’ve got a lot of assignments coming up so I don’t know when I’ll be able to blog but I will soon

I did say I was going on hiatus, which I am on because I find no time for this site at the moment whatsoever which is sad. Living on your own is extremely fun but it comes with so many new responsibilities. Also uni is getting slightly more intense now. I have various assignments being set which count towards my module mark. I have to pass modules to get on to my second year because the first year of my course doesn’t count towards my degree.
I have a project due in next friday which I really need to get on with.
Anyway so this last few weeks there’s been loads going on really but I won’t mention it all in this blog else it’d be pages and pages so I’ll summarise because you’ve probably read my rantings on twitter anyway.

I went to the Big One! on Tuesday which was the Guinness World Records biggest pub crawl in the world which was ace. I got very drunk that night though. My friend had brought some Absinthe back from Spain which was 80% so it was like someone was burning a hole in your mouth. I also had 2 bottles of Archers, numerous wkd’s and at one point my friend suggested Jagerbombs which she said was strong but I remember having one and going they’re not that bad so I think I must have been off my face by then.

I realised when I knew George was my roommate nothing could happen but it still gets me down. I can see that he’s going to get extremely hurt though further down the road. You see he’s in this “thing” , I say thing because god knows what it is, I don’t know if they’re dating or what. Anyway with Jess.
Jess is a notorious cheater, she’s cheated on every boyfriend she’s ever had and we all know leopards don’t change their spots. In fact on two occasions she’s come close to cheating on him.
First time was at 5th ave when she was getting friendly with some other guy and I could see the hurt on George’s face then. Then the second time Rach and Jess went to the Ritz and they had a competition to see who could pull first and she was like “Don’t tell George” so it’s inevitable to be honest.
I also think he’ll get hurt because I think he’s more vulnerable than he makes out to be. He’s been “seeing” or whatever for just under a month and he’s already like I love you it’s like… er what!?!
and then he’ll be like love you xxx and Jess is like errr..yeah whatever. He’s become quite clingy it’s pathetic tbh it’s like role reversal and he’s the needy girl. Oh and he met her parents yesterday its like dear god!

Maybe I’ve become too independent I don’t know but I think personally it’s moving way too fast. I can’t say anything though but I’ll be there to pick up the pieces I guess.

Anyway I promise it won’t be too long before I next blog and I got this idea from Kerry about things they don’t tell you about university

1. You won’t have any money
2. But somehow you’ll have money to go out
3. Your flatmates will wake you up at ridiculous times of the night
4. You’ll never go to sleep before 2am
5. 17p noodles 18p cola and the value range become staple foods
6. You know you’ve hit rock bottom when your vodka is so shit it freezes (vodka isnt meant to freeze)
7. Your flat will never be tidy
8. Leaving your door open results in your things being scattered everywhere but your room
9. Food will go missing, especially when your flatmates are drunk
10. An overdraft is your lifeline
