Brian's Halloween party is fast approaching and seen as all the boys have their costumes and I'm fairly certain this party will actually be good due to the extent they've all gone with it, I've just bought mine...
I really wanted to be a zombie due to my Walking Dead obsession, but didn't want to go full on blokey, so I am a zombie Nurse. Never thought I'd be saying I'm going to a party as a nurse, images of sluts with their bits out come to mind, but nevertheless the costumes very cool and I'm no ho so as long as my butt stays in i reckon I'll be fine (can't guarantee that after the amount of alcohol I'm preparing to drink...). Plus I've never been to a full on Halloween fancy dress, so bring this shit on...
This weeks been a bit of a blur, I had quite a severe case of the stomach virus from Tuesday to Thursday which sucked massively, I was stuck in bed with horrendous stomach cramps and only awaking to vomit :/. So Uni was in the back of my mind this week, but I was back to my normal self by Friday thank God.
On Friday me and Hannah went on a date to watch 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' which was amazing and really well done even though I hate Emma Watson.
Saturday came around and it was the day of my cousin Daniels wedding, so we all awoke early to travel down to Bournemouth for the day. Things didn't quite go as planned, when my Mum, Brian and I were halfway there we got a frantic phone call from Emma who was travelling down with my Sister and Adam who'd crashed on the motorway. Through no fault of her own, there was basically a pile up and by the time the breaking got to my Sister she couldn't in enough time, so ended up swerving and avoiding the main part of the crash but couldn't avoid all of it. Everyone's ok but her car was totalled, she's badly injured her collar bone and has some awful bruising and Emma had smacked her nose and cut all of her lip but it could have been so much worse. We ended up missing the actual ceremony and driving back to make sure they were ok, thankfully my Dad picked them all up to take them to A&E and the rest of us made it to the reception.
What a day! Because before all of that Brian chundered his hungover guts up in the back of my Mums car which I thought was bad enough :P.
The reception was lovely, it was great to see all of my family that I don't get to see anywhere near often enough and then come home and give my Sister a massive cuddle.
Today there's a lot of slobbing about being done, after recalling yesterday's events over and over we were literally exhausted. So X factor, food and pj day I think! Let's hope for a better week!
In no particular order...
Seeing Resident Evil Retribution which was amazing and most importantly perving over this beaut with Hannah...
Returning to University, oh how i've missed my chums there...
My Dad buying me this WuvLuv, I used to own one when I was like 6 so having one at the age of 20 has generally made my life...
The destroying of my old chest of draws, which led to a lot of unnecessary doodles on the leftover wood by me and Brian...
Many a movie night, including the introduction of 'Napoleon Dynamite' to Brian..
The ledge that had this attached to the back of his truck...
My ever expanding mini fruit and veg collection, it's rather adorable :)...
The amount of baby snails that were sucking the water off this piece of cardboard...
My need for this new Daisy Dot bottle, Daisy is my favourite perfume anyway so with a ladybug bottle it was clearly designed for me...?
This is a massive highlight: My beaut of a boyfriend getting us both Nickelback tickets! I've wanted to see them since I was 10 but it's been so worth the wait, excited isn't even the word...
The sextuplets in the newspaper wearing owl onesies, so bloody cute!
I finally made my own camper van model, this will suffice until i buy a real one...
The buying of my ice cream dress, it's stunning and after having it on hold for a month due to lack of funds, the arrival of this stunner was ridiculously exciting :D...
Visiting the 'Thumbs up' club again to play with the down syndrome children, it was even more enjoyable than the last time if that's possible? I definitely have a career path to venture down now.
Recently...
I've finished 3 and half weeks of a babysitting stint, I didn't mind looking after Phoebe to be fair even though aged 7 proved a to be quite a difficult age for young Phoebes.
Since then everythings still been quite busy, Dads 51st birthday was a couple of weeks back which was lovely, followed by Hannah's 21st in Reading the weekend after, Chloe's 20th the next evening and I have Emma's 19th this weekend. I don't have any money so I don't know how I've survived if I'm honest, but its been lovely spending so much time with everybody.
Hannah's birthday was great, considering I wasn't drinking due to driving I had a really good time and I hope she did too even though it got cut short earlier than intended. Plus a night somewhere different from Uxbridge with all our closest buds was really great. Driving home the next day was tiring, me and Brian crashed for 3 hours once back at his and then had to get ready for Chloe's 20th at Goals in Hayes. I had another great night, was able to have a few drinks and stumbled back home with Brian about 12 where we collapsed until the next morning.
Uni starts again soon, I'm not exactly sure when because typically Brunel are a bit behind on letting us students know, but its soon and i can't wait to kick start third year. It will be hard work but I know it will go quick and then I'll miss it like mad. But for now I'll focus on getting back into it and most importantly seeing my lovely friends, I'm very excited.
Last Thursday I was invited to my old Primary school, Colham Manor, to go to a morning that is held once a month in one of the playrooms for Down's Syndrome children. It was one of the most incredible things i've ever been to, I got to play with the children all of which were only about 3 years old and chat to their parents and just generally take in all the enjoyment that it gave me. I used to look after a little boy with Down's Syndrome when I was younger and I loved it, his name was Ryan and he was one of the most amusing children I had ever met, so this was truly a beautiful experience for me.
My Dad knows a woman that works next door to his office who had her baby Lewie about 2 and half years ago and he was born with Down's, from there my Dad became their main sponsor which helps allow young toddlers with the same condition to come and interact with each other once a month. It's also a great thing for the parents to interact with other Mums who understand what they are dealing with. Lisa, who runs the morning asked my Dad specifically if he could bring me along to visit, having heard about the little boy I used to take care of, so of course i was over the moon. My first and only option for my future career has been for a very long time to work with downs syndrome children, its something i've always wanted to do but never thought hard enough about it. I hope that I will be invited back next month to see them all as its definitely an enriching experience, and made my month complete by a long shot.
Got to see Sarah and Matt last Tuesday, due to lack of money on all of our sides Brian so very kindly let everyone come round his for an evening of drinking. It was amazing, we drank, danced about to all the old song that came to mind and didn't end up going to bed until 4am. Joey stayed up with us which was great too, very amusing that he couldn't get up for work the next day though, oops my bad. And of course it was absolutely incredible seeing Sarah and Matt, I've missed them so much.
I've been busying myself a bit more this past week, mostly babysitting Phoebes everyday, and I think that will probably continue for a while seen as I'm off Uni. I've also taken on a few cleaning jobs for my Dads business, It's all thanks to Brian, he took the jobs off Dad originally to earn a bit of extra cash and has encouraged me to pitch in and help so we can split what we earn between the both of us. Not having a job sucks, I know those who have one would wish they could have no responsibility job wise but I personally hate it, It makes me feel lazy and a bit useless even though I do as much as I can for my parents etc in every other aspect. So this is great for me really, on Saturday and Sunday me and Brian cleaned two shit heap houses from top to bottom, it was hard work but I enjoyed doing it with Brian and by the end of it, it was actually nice to think 'yay I did this'. So hopefully this little string of cleaning places will continue and help me out a bit, I was and still am quite reluctant to take my share because I want Brian to have the money for himself, but he's not accepting that offer one bit so because I've earned it I guess I shouldn't complain, after all at least I'm doing something...
So this past week has been quite busy, last Monday bought with it a girly night out in Watford with Becky, Han and Ellie. We had such a very wonderful, much needed drunken night out and i really enjoyed myself. On Wednesday i met up with Han and Becky, we went for a Harvester lunch in the sunshine and a wee catch up which was lovely. Thursday i went to Brian's, we bought a 12 pack of Corona and spent the evening watching films and getting drunk, no idea why we did it, it just felt needed.
Brian had a bit of bad news recently, Andrew is moving out of their house in January meaning that him and Joe also have to move as the rent will be too high for two of them. It's fine don't get me wrong, Andrew's got to do what he needs to, but you see he has his parents, Joe has his parents, Brian has nobody. He has me and a few really tight knit chums but no one who could really help him out with something like this. It's a shame as Brian was moving out next Summer anyway, he has a really good job and wanted to get himself a place that one day i can move in and contribute to. But he really needed until then to save and now he has to cancel those plans to waste his money on a place for himself to tied him over. It just sucks a bit, i feel very helpless, it's times like these that our age gap shows, I can't give him financial support right now and move in with him, sometimes I wish i could do all those things. But he's a big boy, a very intelligent and careful one so i know for a fact he'll be fine and I'll support him in whatever way i can, plus my Dad would never see him struggle.
The weekend was spent at Leeroy's 25th birthday party, on Saturday evening me and Brian's lot all pre drank and then made our way to what actually turned out to be a very decent evening. It was a black and white themed night, which meant I got to wear my new playsuit and see Brian looking mighty fine as usual. We all got way too drunk, i bumped into a few people i hadn't seen in ages and the night ended with a drunken chat with Andrew about his recent relationship problems. I shouldn't really be spending money at the moment, I'm a lot more skint than i thought i was and with a crap load of birthdays coming up i have a feeling I'll be in a bit of trouble soon, but oh well, no more nights out for a while i think!
Sunday was spent hungover, of course. This is me were talking about :P. The Olympic closing wanking ceremony was watched and then beddy bies. I'm babysitting Phoebes most of this week and tomorrow i get to see Sarah and Matt which I'm really looking forward to :). Got a letter from Brunel today, I have to go for a TB screening as someone in my Drama department has recently been diagnosed, I know who it is he's actually a good friend of mine and I remember him being awfullly ill during April and no one actually knowing what was wrong. He's such an amazing guy and i feel so sorry for him because not only has he been so dreadfully ill but now everyone knows about it, certain bastards are slamming it about Facebook, making ridiculous assumptions and really need to fuck off. Poor poor guy. But anyway i'm sure that will all be fine, better safe than sorry right and i'm sending loads of get well vibes to my fellow Brunelian.
It truly wasn't intentional that I forgot to mention my anniversary in my last blog, there's just been way too many happenings this week.
These photos will sum up my evening of complete loveliness with Brian...
A truly wonderful evening indeed :)
This past weeks been rather different, Dad, Phoebe and Martina have been in Portugal for 6 days now, leaving me and Brian as 1 week home owners. It's actually been really lovely having a house to ourselves, despite Brian still being at work 6 days a week we've had some really lovely evenings together.
On Wednesday me and Han went for Baskin Robbins and a cold beer in Ruislip, seen as the sun had decided to make an appearance we thought we'd better make the most of it. In the evening me and Brian went for dinner and then drove to High Wycombe to watch the 'Dark Night Rises', which was incredible and really well done I thought, I'd driven us to the wrong cinema at the beginning of the evening so let's just say I'm glad we made it on time to the right one :). On Friday my cousin Emma came over, we had a traditional little bitch and moan and she gave me my birthday present, which was a gorgeous pair of plain black wedges, I have too many shoes! In the evening me and Brian stayed in, ate chicken dippers and watched '21 Jump Street' which is absolutely hilarious.
Saturday came around and it was off to Club De Fromage for the night, everyone pre drank at my Dads before hand which led to some brilliant dance moves from the boys, porn watching and leaving the house way too late. Jason was ridiculously drunk on the train journey there, I've never actually seen him like that before, swearing and shouting...just WOW. The club itself was actually really good, a bit cramped downstairs but we spent most of the night in the cheesy upstairs bit bopping about, the change of scenery was also most welcome. I got home about 3:30 i reckon and met Brian at my dads who had passed out in all of his clothes.
Yesterday was spent sobering up, more and more stupid news came my way but enough said on that. We went to Tescos and Brian made me a much needed stodgy carbonara and we napped, before waking up to watch the first two Batman films and eating doritos and dip...such wild lives we lead.
Dad returns tomorrow evening, so I'll most likely spent today and tomorrow cleaning out the animals and tidying the house. Mum's birthday is on Wednesday and as for he rest of the weeks plans, I literally have no idea thus far, we'll see what comes my way. TTFN.
There's been a lot of happenings recently, two weeks ago I returned from an incredible 10 days in Gran Canaria with Brian. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a holiday so much ever (and I've been on some good holidays :P) I think it was the company of my gorgeous boyfriend, I obviously already new how well we work as a couple in every aspect but going on holiday really made the final few things click. Anyway the holiday involved all the normal couple holiday experiences, including some slightly unwelcome, involving getting shown the inside of a woman's vagina and throwing up so much that the whole hotel room floor was covered...all of which are wonderful memories in there own way so I'm not complaining :P. I also finished all three of the '50 Shades' books and as much as I wanted to hate them so badly, I actually loved them, if you can get passed the hardcore sex all the way through the story is actually really good, it's a shame it's quite poorly written as I think it would appeal to more people not just chavvy young Mum's.
Last Saturday it was my 20th birthday, it was an amazing weekend despite the shit weather and i was utterly spoilt. Mum and Becky took me out to Windsor for lunch in the daytime and in the evening I went to Brian's, who in particular made it ridiculously special, he blew up 500 balloons which coated his entire bedroom floor and filled some of them with small gifts like ladybug toys and his special homemade birthday coupons. I then had to go around popping them until i found them all, it was soo much fun! I've literally never had anyone make something so special for me, he really is incredible...gush over i promise.
Anyway after being spoilt more I met up with everyone in Uxbridge for a night of merriment, loads of people came to the point where it was actually difficult to keep up with everyone but it really was a good night. My friends are the best for making it so memorable and i am so grateful for everyone that came, bought me drinks and graffitied rubbish on my birthday cards :P. Certain moments could have been improved, i.e my prick of an ex turning up and a prick of a 'so called' friend of Brian's being a complete douche bag. But I had fun and i don't give a shit about the other lot.
On Sunday Dad took us all out for my Birthday dinner to the Cattle Grid in Windsor, it's basically just this incredible steak place. After spending the entire day chundering in a bowl, i managed to wolf down ribs, steak and chips and a Belgian waffle for desert...hell i even managed to climb up on the ginormous cow outside, all in all a brilliant evening.
It's me and Brian's first anniversary this Monday coming which i am very excited about, even though it feels like we've been together for much longer (in a good way!). I'm excited not only because it means I've managed to hold myself such an incredible guy for a year but because after a year all the shit in between hopefully should ease up, things should relax and by no means am i talking about my relationship...no no this is all the wank stains either side of my relationship. Hopefully they will either fuck off (i doubt it) or I'll just learn to be stronger about everything, to be fair it's about time i did that anyway, i cannot tell you how much shit has strung itself along with my otherwise pretty perfect relationship and I've buckled under the stress of it. Quite frankly i have the person i want to be with, everything/one else can piss off. Wow it feels good to say it.
So apart from all my slightly dramatic but necessary ramblings, Summers here. My friends are home yayyyyy and this means a lot of merriment, a lot of alcohol and basically just squeezing every moment i can out of them before they all have to go back to Uni. I'm excited!
