My exciting sunday

Sorry my blog earlier was quite short bt it was becasue I've had my boyfriend here over the past few days so we've been sharing th computer and unfortunately I'm one of those fussy people who cant stand other people looking over your shoulder while you type!!

So here's the quick run down of my exciting easter sunday:
1) Slept in quite late (blame the boyfriend for that- You all know what I mean)
2) Was going to build a snowman/ woman but it was too cold
3) Tried to tidy the house before the parents return from holiday tomorrow
4) Had a heart attack because i though the washing machine had broken down- it hadnt
5) Realised that all the shops were shut and we had NO food and one hungry boy in the house
6) Spent 10 minutes defrosting the car
7) Took my auntys 3 mental dogs for a walk- i.e they took me for a walk
8) Dog pooed on pavement in full view of the entire street- Nearly died of shame
9) Gave up on trying to find a shop that was open and went out for food instead
10) Tryed to teach Boyfriend how to make bed properly only to be told that he did not appreciate me having so many cushions on the bed and they were ''pointless'

What an exciting day i had. lol. On the plus side all I've got to do tomorrow is a bit of hoovering and washing up then the house is all ready for when the parents arrive home!!

Snow job

It has snowed overnight!!! Now this is not the first time it has ever snowed at easter and statistically it is more likely to snow at Easter than at Christmas. however even though I am 20 there is still something about snow that just makes me go awwwww.

Tired

You might be wondering where I have been for all week. I have been working day and night. Lack of sleep is finally catching up with me. It has been quite a week.

I am feeling crapy because I'm tired and miss home(Zambia). This is gonna be long weekend and I'm not going home.

I thought I could get plastered this weekend but no chance. It's easter week and being Catholic means I have to observe the Lent season to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ so I have gave up alcohol during the Lent.

Happy Easter!

Ring my Bell

I know, it's been a while, but, we are on holiday!!

A note to North of the Border, I think the most important lesson you may have learnt thus far is, not to give a crazy person your phone number.

Words like, 'I have no credit' 'It just ran out' 'No signal' 'Get away from me crazy man' springs to my mind!

We all live and learn through these things and, as your classroom mummy, being the eldest in the class, I will say, 'I hope you've learnt your lesson, and don't do it again!!'

But on a serious note, be glad he is unable to trace your movements with your number and hasn't got your address. Text messages you can ignore and, as you have his number, you needn't pick up when he, or any withheld number calls. It's a pain but, he'll give up after a while, he may meet someone else on the train... As long as she is over 16 it is perfectly legal... Your safety is paramount...

A word to the elder set, this also applies for Marriott salesmen trying to sell you a once in a lifetime 5* hotel, 4 day deal but does not take the debit card with funds, you are offering and hunts you down for a MasterCard that has no funds...

He had the sale before we stopped, he actually talked his way out of it!!


You can ring my beeeeeeel, ring my bell, ding dong, dingaling aling......

OMFG!!! (continued....)

Right so I have rung the wonderful people at Vodafone only to find that they cant block only one number off a pay as you go mobile phone. WTF??? With all the technology we've got in the world you'd think that we could at least block a persons stalker!!!!

OMFG!!

Hey everyone, ok so you're all been a bit shit at posting since we left the old uni for easter :( Got blogging peeps!!! I'm basically on here cos something beyond scary happened today and it's kind of a worning to all you other girlies out there who sometimes travel by yourselves on our fantastic public transport system.

Today i was tres excited because I was coming to see my bestest frine who is a t uni in Carlisle (that's in cumbria for those of you who don't know or who are thick) so i had to catch 2 trains to get here and it was meant to take 3 hours 34 mins. However as usual our public transport was crap and my second train was 15 minutes late (no suprises there then!!) {This isn't the scary bit by the way}

So I (eventually) get on my second train and the train is empty, i mean totally empty there is literally me and 3 old ladies on the entire train but of course because i am the loonie magnet a guy comes and sits right doen next to me when there's the whole bloody train that he could have sat down on :( :(

Now i'm a pretty easy going person so this didnt bother me too much until he started talking to me, i dont mean just like how's the weather i mean like properly in depth talking to me. This was a bit weird by anyones standards but here is where it gets even weirder. We're just sat there and I keep doing the thing where you pretend to be reading the paper so that they won't talk to you but he just wasn't getting the hint at all. So he gets out a pad of paper and writes down his number on it. He gives it to me and stupidly i take it. Ok so he then asks me to ring it to make sure that it's the right number and like a fool i do so he now has MY number. SHIT!!

But it doesn't end there this is where it gets scary. We're sat talking and I've already established that he's 25 and he starts telling me about when he was waiting for a train once and there was this young girl stood eaiting for the train and she was cold so she didnt have a coat so he offered his, very gentlemanly you may think until he tells me that she was 16 and that he asked her out. OMFG!!! Why the hell do i always meet these type of people??

It gets worse. When we get off the train he says he hopes thah he'll see me again even though i've made it VERY clear that i have a boyfriend and am not interested in him AT ALL!! (He was soooooooooo ugly).

So now I have a stalker, he's already text me twice and asked if he can see me again and I'm actually a bit scared because I don't know how to block him on my phone!!! HELP!!!

If you know how to block people on a Nokia 7373 please get in touch.
