An Update....

So its been a long time...I have of course been busy playing stupid internet games, talking to people and working. How very dull of me....I havent forgotten you guys tho..I have another blog now...vodka related, however I cant remember the name of it...I believe I fail at blogs....but I wanted to keep you informed and updated....Not that anyone reads this shit!

Any other sugesstions?

it's been too long

I know I know, Its been way too long.

I had a busy summer and after being a bit disillusioned with the world I decided to start blogging again.

I've been unemployed since September the 1st and I've been claimed jobseekers allowance. I haven't bandied this information around because I don't think its important. Next thing I know one of my childhood friends on facebook started bitching about people on "the dole" in her status. I don't think she knew about my situation. She was all "People on the dole make me sick, wasting tax payers money. Ughh just look at you you are gross". Uhhh where do people get off judging people for accepting help. Then a few days later a group appeared on facebook called " I better go to work, the people on the dole need my money" Its so annoying. Why are people like this. Yeah okay there are some people that abuse the system. But not everyone does! It's just not fair. I was claiming because I needed the money and I was desperate. It's just so unfair. It shouldn't be allowed.

People that have these views are the reason there is so much hate in this world. We might look different, and sound different but we all bleed, bruise, cry, laugh and most importantly love.

Never forget this!

Everynow and again....

Everynow and again I feel compelled to write. I am thinking and decide on something and want to tell the world about what I am thinking. On this occasion I am glad of my blog. Im reading "If You Could See Me Now" by Cecelia Ahern (you know her name because she also wrote P.S I Love You) and its a nice story about a woman who is so caught up in her life that she forgets how to love, and stuff like that. So she basically end up with an imaginary friend who she falls in love with. At the start of chapter 26 her imaginary friend called Ivan is talking about how all of his senses are all of a sudden alive (describing being in love with the woman, without saying this). My question is why do people always write about this kind of bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I understand that love is the greatest thing you can be blessed with in your life, but it doesn't happen the way they always say. I'm very much in love with my fiancee, but it was not love at first sight. He does not make every hair on my body stand on end, he does not make me shiver with delight. He doesn't make my every sense feel alive or anything like that. But he does make me smile every time I see him. He does make me laugh so hard I think I'll either wet myself, or cry, or faint, or all three. And he does make me feel safer than I have ever felt before. Love is real. It's all about learning about someone, and standing the test of time with someone. It's not about giving up at the first, second or even third hurdle!

Where's Fred Dibnah?

Yesterday we were chilling round mine, with a bit of booze, after eating a really yummy spaghetti bolognese. So my boyfriend was in charge of the music. Which was fine by me. He came across Lady GaGa- Boys Boys Boys. So yeah towards the end of the song The GaGa sings "Where's Fred Dibnah!"

StumbleUpon

I have stumbleupon, and I think my life would be alot duller if i didn't have the magnificent little toolbar :) Especially when I am bored. I do love the old stumbleupon. I don't really have much to write today. I finally got blood test results back. Im just anaemic. Well I say just but I'll be honest I am struggling with the whole sorting it out situation. Because I just don't do well at the old feeding myself malarky. I dunno I just get lazy, and I can never find anything yummy to eat.

I have an awful cold tonight too, and horrible dry skin on my nosey. I probably look rank, but I don't mind too much :)

New Needles!

Yeaaaah :)

I finally got around to buying the needles that I have been needing for MONTHS now. I am extremely happy with myself. But I have also just realised that I have made and extremely huge faux pas on my account. So you know the darts cabinet-cum-jewellery cabinet, I keep asking to go to b&q, wickes, focus, homebase etc. And yesterday we happened to land rigggght by one.
So I was all "ohh ohhh ohhh" and upon asking my grandparents if we could just nip in there quick I was told a no, and we drove off.

UNIMPRESSED

Anyway I'm sat waiting for the post and I was thinking about what website next, and it dawned on me....Homebase, Focus, Wickes, B&Q etc .com.............

DOUBLE UNIMPRESSED.

How could I have been this stupid. But never mind. I know now :)

Off to Reading tomoz, to play a few hours of darties :)

Enjoy

An Update

Hi everyone...

Im playing at sitting duck at the minute...

I think the pleurisy has gone now. but im not certain. I don't hurt to breathe anymore. But there is a major coughing thing going down :(

My darts team won 6-2 on Wednesday... Very proud of them as it was the first win of the season, and my first ever win as a captain. So it was really good. I look forward to lots more of these :) Thank you guys, Mr Amie-Dillo sorry you couldn't be there!

Sitting duck hey (I heard you say it)
My blood test results are back at the surgery after only 3 days of having the test, and of course the receptionist is only allowed to tell you if there is a doctors note on it...There was. It said "sending patient a letter".


YOU CRUEL DOCTOR

I'll just sit and wait then shall I....and wait....And Wait!

Not fair, but I shall be letting you know when I know I guess :)

So it's getting there....finally

The darts cabinet it looking more and more cream now, but it is taking ages to have to paint over and over and over. But I am enjoying the challenge :)

Has anybody got anything new going on at the minute??

I have a cool way of making necklaces/bracelets or earring and was wondering if a tute for those was in order?

Maybe hey!

A Darts Cabinet is no longer.

Okay I have all this jewellery, and no where to really put it all where I can still see it easily. So when I had a 12 Hour Darts Marathon, and a darts cabinet was one of the prizes I started to want the cabinet, and when at the end of the night it was still there (my friend donated it and I knew he didnt want it back) I took it home.

So my plan was this. Paint the big ugly black thing white, and then attach hooks from either side, and then use ribbon or something (maybe a trim instead) so I can hang necklaces and earrings in the cabinet. I have started painting it white (its gonna take a while, and alot of paint) but I'm enjoying it.

I may get some special glittery paint or something to cover it in also, to make it look even more special.

What do people think?

When its finished I shall upload pictures.

Votes, Pleurisy and Darts.

So life has been a bit hectic the last few weeks what with alot happening. The general elections took over my life, because I was panicking about who to vote for, but I think I voted for the right chappie.

Then Sunday the 9th of May I organised and took part in a 12 hour darts marathon. Phew that was hard work. But we raised £114.31 to be split between the Anthony Nolan Trust and the Brodey Centre. I am proud of this effort, and everyone did so so well. But the next day I woke up in a pretty bad way.

I had the worst pain when breathing in, all up around my shoulder, not good. So Friday it was off to the doctors, to be diagnosed with pleurisy, and to be given horsey sized tablets!

Cute Fishy Earrings

Okay I did promise to show you my tute on the fishy earrings. So here we goes..... Im not sure how good that it will actually be because it is my first but fingers and tentacles crossed.

You Need:

2 Wooden Fish Beads

4 Small Blue Glass Beads

2 Medium Dark Blue Glass Beads

A pair of earring Hooks

Wire or Thread

So here you can see the stuff I used. But well half of it, because by this point I had already made one of my earrings and then decided to write a tute :) You obviously don't have to use the exact bits I used on mine. You can use similar items.

Step 1

Take the wire or thread, and thread your fish onto it.

Step 2

Thread one of the small blue beads onto both ends of the thread, so the bead is nestling the fish's face.

Step 3

Then add the dark blue, and the light blue beads in the same way.

Step 4

Then you have to attach the little hooks to the dangly bead bit. I did this by winding the wire round and around the hole in the hook, and then tie it off making sure it will stay on.

So here we have the finished product. It looks so natural looking and the colours really do compliment each other :) Have funnnn x

Hi Everyone. I'm sorry it's been so long. Anyway heres a short explanation...I was really ill and then I have been busy sorting my life out. I made a cool tute yesterday and was about to upload it when all of a sudden it went. I was not impressed. So I gave up. But it should appear soon :)

A brand new?

Okay, you can probably see that I have indeed changed the name of the blog. Basically I was worried people would find the blog boring because it only says about trains....so it doesnt anymore :)

And when I am better, and don't taste or smell of sick anymore I will put some crafty tutes up.....

However my real craft is.....

Making fabric flowers.....Maybe a tute about how to create these? Whaddya think

£14.00 for well needed protection

It's getting to the time of year again where we all have to go out to the shops, and buy some cream...Sometimes it smells nice, sometimes it has something in it to make you look brown. And if you don't wear one with a high enough number, well then your f****d.


Yeah it's suncream.....or sun tan lotion. Or sun block... Whatever you want to call the bloody stuff....

So late last night we went into tesco for our usual nightly gander....And the nivea suncream was out on this stand...On buy one get one free... I thought oooo Ill see how much it will be.

£14.00

£14.00

£14.00 for something I require to stop myself getting cancer. This is ridiculous...its terrible. Bloody £7 a bottle for something I need during the summer. I don't understand the need for it to be so expensive. The supermarkets, and indeed the consumer market know its a neccessity, just like fruit and veg, and bread. So why does it need to be priced so bloody high. I really don't get it. I myself will be shopping around before paying that much.....

Anyway hope everyone is okay. I not actually. Im quite ill. So I'm led on the couch writing this without moving much. Now I must go to sleep.

Night (except its not)

Sweetie You Had Me

Im frustrated. Its late at night and I can't get this out of my head.

I used to have this friend. I don't recall how we became friends. He was so funny, but intelligent like me. We used to bike everywhere and spend all this time together doing stupid things.... making videos and other stuff. We used to spend every evening together just hanging out. We even went to his mum to see his gorgeous little hamster.

Then I got a job, and I asked him to come meet me for my lunch hours so I didn't have to spend it alone, and so he did.

Then my year at school was choosing what it was doing after school, whether it was going on to sixth form, or college, or even apprenticeships.

I chose sixth form, and my friend was the only other person that did. So we went together on the first day, so we really wouldnt be alone. We made friends, but they were still in the same group.

He learnt to drive so we would go about in his car everywhere with another one of our friends.

Then the worst thing in the world happened.....

I started seeing the other boy....

Yeah I know it doesn't SEEM that major, it destroyed our friendship. I don't know why but it did. I still seem him when we all come back from uni now, but its like I'm not there. He is really close to my fiancee and one of my best friends, but now I feel like I'm being tolerated.

Im not one of these people that copes with rejection very well. I wish my best friend from secondary school still was, and I wish this boy still regarded me as a friend, but Im not. I don't know what I did.

But I guess I did something :(

A good deed

Okay everyone.....

9th May....
