Gremlins are stealing my stuff!


Hi, I'm sure that Gremlins like the cute Gizmo above have been stealing things from my room, because items appear to be missing like my pen drive and my mobile phone memory card. There's a notebook too and socks! I keep finding odd socks all over my room and I've no idea how they got there or where their pairs now are......I had another idea that maybe borrowers had been involved too.

I'm hoping that whoever has my things returns them soon, because I really did want to load some pics up from my phone of my two new dogs and also save the start of my new essay. I guess I'll have to write about them first and then take some photos on my camera. I might tidy my room and see if that turns anything up- I might have simply misplaced these items. So I'll have to do that once I've finished here!


So my new dogs then; they are actually my uncle's dogs but he died on Wednesday, so my family have had to take responsibility for them. It is a little too soon after Sandy though and I don't think any of us were ready to take on two small and full of energy creatures, but there's no one else to take them in and I'm sure my uncle wouldn't have liked them going to a dog's home. The chances of them being rehomed are slim too, because Cindy is a lurcher cross yellow Labrador and Patch is a jack Russell cross staffie, being a pair and being not very desirable breeds is the most possible cause. They are good dogs though and they do have some obedience and are good on lead. I guess its just getting use to them, because they are so unlike Sandy- yet they did know her-Patch likes sitting on her hip and licking your ears and Cindy is the noisy one and barks at everything. Hopefully I'll find a pic to put up soon!

In light of that I've not been doing much and I've not written my other blog or do a webcam post because of the news, but I do want to carry that on, so I'll find some time to do that soon enough.

First ever video blog for me

Hi! please click below to see me doing my blog with a webcam-something I've never done before! So I know its a bit messy in places and I've given up trying to sort the ending out now- I so don't have the technology skills to do that! Anyway, hopefully everything else is okay and I might do my blog like this again- though maybe not too soon! Enjoy watching, bye.

Worry Exams


Hi, I know I've not wrote in awhile, but I've been really busy and sick, plus running two blogs is not an easy thing to do, so I decided that I wouldn't give up on this blog but I'd post the same things on both because its easy and then people can decided which blog to read. So as a caught up on here I'd just like to write about my dog for a few minutes. She died 9/12/10, peacefully in her sleep at home. It was on my dad's birthday and in the morning. I came home from uni and she was cermated on friday, but as of yet not been buried. It was been a massvie blow to the family, friends and everyone else who knew her because she was such a great dog and touched many people. She'll be missed and never forgotten. RIP.

 
This photo is from 2009, so its pretty old now, but it was from my first year at uni and this message on thefire exit door had me and many other people giggled as we walked passed it. Originally it read merry Xmas, but when we came back in january someone and I've never found who decided to change the message to a more appropriate one. So (and it was the same with last year) at this time of year I recall this message and it makes me laugh. Though it is very true as next week I've facing what is possibly going to be the two biggest exams of my life. I have seen my modernism exam paper today though, because it is a seen exam and whilst the 1st question scared me the second- if I can find some more information on the web- should be okay. I plan to spend my evening studying these things now and also- if I get the chance, putting some new music on my ipod touch because it really does need an update.



Next pic of the week is this one, taken by my little brother of me in my new coat! My mum has spent months knitting this and it was meant to be my Xmas present. It was finished yesterday, but it still needs buttons and pockets. It's really warm though, so I might not give it back any time soon!

So besides from more revision and finished my reflection essay today, I guess the only other thing to report about this week is the New Year's Eve party I went to last Friday- though it feels a long way away to me now!- I made homemade strawberry woo woo to share and if you've not tried any before I suggested you do- Revolution bars serve it and theirs is the best. The night was good, though I drink too much and next time I'm so sleeping in a bed and not on a sofa whilst people are playing darts in the next room! Anyway Happy New Year everyone and here are some pics;

My strawberry woo woo was mega tasty.


The misleading fruit salad punch!



My dad and his drunken playing.


Lastly, my friend sent me this link and I thought I'd share on my blog, because I just think that it really shows what you can do if you keep trying to keep your dreams alive.
