Today is the day when my ages goes up by a year making me 18. I have got quite excited about my birthday for a change as I am now officially an adult. As I’m not a naughty person, I shouldn’t get scared that I can now get admitted to jail if I break the law. Least I’m old enough to buy gangta dvd’s now.. I say this because last week I was looking for movies for my assignment that due in at December and was going to order one from Play.com, however they act within the law and asked me to remove it from cart. Even though the college shown me it. lol
Yesterday was really brilliant and it started off by heading into Reading with my sister. On the way there I shown off my music collection to her as it makes me feel more manly.
Well I just wanted her to listen to some tracks of a unsigned band that I am rather fond of. She liked them which was nice. However her car speakers seem to be louder more on the left and it bugged me alittle.
When we arrived in the car park, we started to wonder around the city centre. Some of the highlights is when I noticed that Two Seasons have a more massive store (than Derby) that is near to Footlocker. So we looked at there hat collection as they like there hats it seems. The other highlight is that I ate at Nandos which I discovered that I love the place. The food is soo good. Yum. We went around other clothes shop which I felt the pain of not having a job as I really wanted to buy everything. My sister didn’t manage to have time to buy me a present so we went into HMV where which she got me a Alfred Hitchcock dvd collection. I wanted that for so long.
In the evening I got invited by wanted of her friends to watch some fireworks. I had a massive laugh there as firstly I received a pink cake, played with sparklers, and watched some fireworks. I got handed some cards which I opened today and I like one of them as it had a nice message in it. I will post it up later. It was a nice ending to the day.
So back to today. I didn’t do that much apart having a meal and a Bud at the pub and received my mom presents. She couldn’t get much as she unwell but I loved the clothes, toilette, and tin of sweets she brought me. I thought it was nice. Anyway, I better do some college work that I been avoiding for the whole weekend but least it means that I don’t have to get concerned about it.
This week has been okay I suppose. For those who doesn’t understand the whole England holiday system, every so often after like what seems ages, you get a week off which is called half term. At college you supposed to crack ahead on assignments but it didn’t turn out that way for me or anyone else who spoke to me. Anyway, I spent most of it at different locations around England as I think my mom wanted to have trips with me before the whole kidney journey begins, which is fair enough.
The first day trip was on Tuesday and was spent at Milford on sea and Mudeford . Wasn’t looking forward to it as I felt a bit old to spend days out with parents but I was wrong. It turned out okay as I had food outside a cafe with a beautiful sea view and that special refreshing air you get at beaches. The tide was in the whole time I was there so I didn’t bother going on the rocky beach. Only issue I had was my dad being a pain and wasn’t making any effort to include himself or even stay awake in the car. Him snoring in the car really pissed me and my mom. Plus on the way there his directions was wrong. My mom was driving the right way and he told her to go towards Southport or something. I had fun directing back on route. Not. Thank god for Google maps.
On Wednesday and Thursday was spent up with my sister that lives in a village near Derby. I am still amazed how massive the Westfield centre is. For those who don’t know what one of them is, its a shopping centre on a seriously large scale. You wouldn’t believe how spacious it really is till you looked at it yourself. I had a evening getting a few things there which included Croc trainers (which are really light and easy to clean) and a new jacket. I shouldn’t forget I now have a bath bomb from Lush to use. It smells nice.. I am saving it for a moment when I’m feeling in the dumps.
I had my dinner at Pizza express which I loved. I had dough balls which I been dreaming of eating since my last visit and shock horror, a pizza. They like glass bottles for drinks such as Coke which is nice to pour in the glass but it is a shame they don’t have taps as it be great if they offered bottomless refills. I get so thirsty when I’m waiting for my food there.
I spent the night sleeping on the sofa bed. I had a good sleep on it actually and used this amazing cushion that turns into a duvet. I love the Swedish people at Ikea, they come up with some good ideas sometimes. It kept me at a good temperature over the night and the zip was at a location that didn’t contact bother you whilst sleeping. The only problem I had was the gerbils eating their cage overnight causing a annoying sound. I said shut up to them and liked how they was frozen still for enough moments for me to nod off.
I have college tomorrow which I actually don’t mind. I am putting my fingers crossed that the new timetable will be more to my liking. One can only hope however. I guessing he will just do different lessons in the same slots as before which will be dull. Anyway least I will have a hour gyming things up. I better sort my bag out now for everything. Toodles.

Various uni prospectus from Derby Uni.. contains Stoke-on-trent lolly!
Its my second day in Derby and I have to say that things have been rather random. Yesterday I travelled up in the afternoon in my sister car and she packed her car full with different items for the house that she moving into with her partner. I was crammed in myself but the journey wasn’t that bad even though I had a hamster in a cadge on my lappy.
I went to sleep on this camp bed that already has some lovely holes in it. I woke up at 4am because my weight has just tore the whole thing apart. I was so glad they were planning to get rid of it anyway because I have had rendered it useless now. It’s a shame cause it was better than directly sleeping on the floor.
Anyway, moving on to today. I’d got up at 8am to have a refreshing shower and cornflakes whilst seeing disasters that the emergency services have to deal with on telly. Not exactly something I wanted to watch really but the cable video-on-demand didn’t work at the time.
At lunchtime, I decided to help out by mowing the lawn. I stupidly thought that such a task would be simple to archive and that I would be munching on another snack within moments. I was so wrong by thinking this. I had to put this pesky mower together and then I found that every five seconds I had to clear the base of it or it wouldn’t function. Ah well.. least it did the job.
Much later on in the afternoon at around 3pm, I arrived in Stoke where I unplanned went out with some people I knew from the place to the park as they were looking after the neighbour kids for some reason. I discovered that I would fail so badly if I ever wanted children.
I went to the house earlier than the people at the park and went out with my sister in the car. When we returned, we discovered the locked them out. During the time they were waiting, they deweeded the front garden which I was amazed by as the two years I visited the place, not once they took much care for it.
So we went out to the garden centre, for them to spend around fifty quid on plants. Not like you can get much for that price these days.
So that was my rather random day. Sorry if I rambled too much. :/

My road today..
I finished my last post saying that I hope it wouldn’t snow or if it did that it wouldn’t close the college. Well guess what happened when I woke up late this morning? I looked at my phone for the time and panicked rushing outta bed and putting my college clothes on. I then peered outside the window to get blinded by the white stuff, plenty of the blinking white stuff. My parents confirmed that college wasn’t happening and I felt disappointed.
I went to look at Facebook quickly to see what people was up to with the snow and all. Turns out that they were planning to go to the Abby and make snowmans. I was debating joining them but when I stepped outside to take photos for this blog and twitter I thought otherwise. It was really cold and judging how pale they were in the photos, they felt it. They had a wonderful picture of the market square though with snow and it looked quite odd. It was neat how the council gritted the paths though and it turned out to made good sections for different people creations.
Like most of the week though, I was hanging around the house being bored. I was tempted to tidy it but I lacked the effort or the drive to do so. I had a lovely hot bath though and while the bath was running I repaired this sliding fabric door with matching white duck tape. You could call the repair I did was rather dodgy, neat is most certainly not a word to describe job I did.
Anyway, I really do not want it to snow tomorrow. Well I do as I don’t like Friday mornings but I hoping reverse thingy wotsit will work on the weather system like it did on the last post.
