Am I ever going to catch up?

WOW! Again I am forgetting about this blog, I think it's just about needing to get back into the habit of posting on here because I did use Myspace's blog for a while but I don't even use Myspace anymore and I don't think that I've posted a blog on there in a very long time so I just need to try and remember I have this blog and post blogs.

I don't know what I mentioned the last time I posted a blog but I will do an update of the last couple of weeks for now.

Well I've passed my 6th and final assignment for my history course and I'm meant to be revising for my exam but I haven't been. My motivation sucks big time I can tell you that and I don't even know when my exam is, how bad is that? It's either next Friday or the one after...personally I am hoping for the week after so I can get some revision done.
I will be glad when the course is over, it wasn't what I thought and I did find the whole time I was on it that I was spending most of my time trying to catch up or having to cram the full months course work and an assignment into 5-10 days.
I don't know when I will be doing another course with the OU, I am meant to be on a new one now but for a reason too long to get into now they don't let me register for another course. I know I need to try and sort it out because I do want to do another course next year but right now I just can't be bothered trying, I think I just want to get my exam over and done with first.

Well, I finally started driving lessons again after not having one for two an a half years....haha. It's been a long time and I've driven loads in the mean time but I haven't had a lesson but my theory runs out on the 11th of December and I don't want to re-do that so I am forced into the situation of trying to pass before then. I can't really be bothered with it all but I don't want to do my theory test again so I am having to get it done and out of the way...my test is booked for the 25th November.
So I had a lesson and yeah I am a good driver but I need to be taught how to drive to the standard needed to pass my test. I'd rather not have a test because I don't like tests and I am sure I am going to be a bag of nerves and crash the car...oh well. Anyway my instructor is interesting to say the least...I'd describe him as a old hippy or a new age type of guy...interesting is a word that comes to mind when I think of how to describe him. He is so chilled out and laid back and I think we are going to get on well which is good.
I have two lessons next week to look forward to and I can't wait but at the same time I can wait...it's because driving is old hat to me because I've been driving for three years so it's not as exciting to me as it once was but it will be nice to pass and be able to drive along instead of having to have someone in the front who has had a full license for three years.

Well I don't know if I said but I had a joint eye test at Spec-Savers with Lyndsey a few weeks ago, picked out a funky pair of specs and had to wait to pick them up. Well I picked them up and I had them on for a little while but they were hurting me so much that I had to wear my old glasses. Plus the prescription wasn't as strong as my older ones so they needed to go back. Anyway I finally took them back on Tuesday, after my driving lesson, and they didn't want to book me in for another eye test and when I finally convinced them I needed another one they were trying to book me in with the guy who originally tested me and said he'd have a go at me if I'd not tried them. Well I had tried them, I mean how else would I know they were a wrong fit and I couldn't see as well with them on?!! Anyway then they were wanting me to wait another week for the test and I said that wasn't any good because I needed it sorted. So I was booked in for the next day, I went back and had another test and the guy who had originally tested me had badly messed it up and gave me a really weak presciption. Then I was allowed to pick another frame because the day before the girl had badly mis-shaped my glasses by trying to stretch them. It took me half an hour to find a pair and then I ended up with some metal framed purple ones which are nice. I didn't like much of what was in to be honest so it was a task to find a pair that I was happy with and now I am waiting to pick them up. I don't know when they will be ready but I have been told 3-5 days so it could be next week....well I can't pick them up tomorrow if they are ready and I don't think they will be ready until Monday at the earlier.
I plan on getting some more glasses but from the designer factory because it will work out much cheaper for me that way.

Hmm...what else...what else...what else?

I can't think, it's just because I stopped writing this to reply to a email and now I can't remember what I was going to say next.

I have been making my own Christmas cards lately...it takes me ages though because I have so much stuff that I can use that I don't know which order to put it in and what colours or how much etc. I always pick what I want to use, which takes ages, and then place it how I want it and then change it around and make sure I have it all in the right places and then finally glue it together. It's taking ages and I have made about 6 cards so far, it's a slow process but I want to make sure things are looking good and don't have too much or too little on them.

On top of that I am also making my own soaps. That is great fun and I've sold a couple so far and I've given some away but I don't want to be giving too many away, I want to be making back the money I've had to spend to get me started on making it. I think I spent around £60 to get me started so I want to make that back at least even if I don't manage to sell any after that as long as I make what I've laid out then I will be happy.

Looks like I'm going away for my birthday this year, it's going to be good....4 days away from the 31st October till 3rd November and I am going away the weekend after too and I have plans for the weekend before my birthday too. It's going to be great fun and cost a lot but I've never been in this situation before where I can do this and have a good time with my friends and do so many different things so I am really looking forward to all of it. Just think of the crazy pictures that I am going to have after those weekends..lol. It's 5 weeks tomorrow that I go away and I can't wait...I need to get saving because I need a lot of spending money for that weekend and the weekend after plus I am looking at dresses and tops that I want to buy also so it's going to be costy but I am getting clothes that I can wear for Christmas party's etc.

Anyway I think that's all for now, I do hope that I come back on here soon and do some catching up and keeping up with what's going on.

Another long time

It seems I have all but forgotten about my blog until tonite. I have much more going on in my life than ever before and I am finding less and less time to do blogs plus I have gotten into the routine of not doing them but I really want to try and blog once a week because it is nice to have some kind of record of what I am up to and what I am doing and what I have done. I am hoping that I can get back into the habit of doing blogs once more because I want to so here goes for the first one.

I can't even remember what I last talked about the last time I did a proper blog so I will do a brief update of what has been happening since the end of June.

Well in June I went to see Bon Jovi in Manchester. I was actually meant to see them in London and Manchester but I just couldn't afford to do both in the end so I had to sell my London tickets and make do with just seeing them in Manchester.
They were good and it was a really good night but I hated being so far away from the stage...it is crazy because before last year I didn't know how wonderful it was to be right at the front at a Bon Jovi concert. I didn't think it would bother me being at the back in the stands but it really wasn't as good up there as it had been on the floor the year before so I am going to try my best to get Golden Circle tickets for next year.

I have started going to the cinema which is amazing. I have probably been around 10 times in my life before July so it is nice to go and see new films when they come out. I went to see Hancock and then Mamma Mia and then I went to see Mamma Mia again and I went to see You don't mess with the Zohen...that was one of the funniest films I have ever seen. I haven't been in a few weeks but I hope to go soon because there is about 5 films out I want to see and I still haven't seen the new Batman film which I've wanted to see since it came out...I hope I don't miss seeing it at the cinema.

I am working on my last assignment for my course, before the exam, and it is tough. I haven't had much chance to work on it until the last couple of days and even now a week before it is due I don't know what direction to take it in. It is crazy. I need to start writing it tomorrow so I am hoping something comes to me tomorrow and I do at least 1000 words on it...this is a 4000 word self researched one without a question and it is tough. I could really do with another week to be honest because it has no direction yet and I am still needing to find some really good resources for it. So I am hoping I just do some outline tomorrow and maybe decide what direction I'm doing in. Time is running out and fast so I need to try and get it done as soon as I can but also make it good and not a pile of all rubbish. I will be glad when the course is over to be honest because I just need a break, this course has been taxing in the last couple of months so it will be nice to have a break and try and take up a new hobby or something. I was going to start a new 60 point course this month but I think I will save that one until next September.

I finally went for an eye test last Saturday too!! I have been putting it off since March but I finally went and it was only because my friend had an appointment and said I should try and get one around the same time so we could go together.
I was so worried about that air test thing that they do but I didn't need to bother with worry because they didn't do it. In fact I had the quickest eye test ever, I was in and out so fast. My friend then helped me pick some glasses and I can't wait to pick them up. I will be picking them up on Saturday and I can't wait to get some new glasses.

I am looking for a new driving instructor at the moment because I have 12 weeks to pass my test before my theory runs out and I don't want to do my theory again so I need to find an instructor within the next week and then book my test and get one as soon as poss. I really can't wait until I pass, it will be amazing to be able to go out and drive on my own. I have been putting it off because I am worried my dad will try and use me as a personal taxi and I don't want that so I have been putting it off for that very reason but I don't want to sit my theory again so I must pass now. I hope someone gives me some money towards a car as a passing gift, that would be nice anyway but with my family I think it is very much doubtful.

I had a really good night in with Lyndsey and Louise two weeks ago (2 weeks on Sat) and it was amazing. We actually went out to see Dill sing at my mums club and then came back and had a right girly night in sat around in our PJs listening to music and having a good old gossip as well as having a couple of drinks and munching on food too.
We are having another night in on the 13th and we are all looking forward to it, it is going to be a top night.
I hope we can have one at least once a month from now on because they are just so much fun.

I am going to see Nickelback with Lou and her son in a couple of weeks time so I need to really start listening to my Nickelback CDs because I haven't listened to them in ages and I don't want to be there trying to rawk out to songs I don't know the words to so I need them on at least once a day (all their music) and then I will hopefully know as much as I can for the concert.

Work is getting busier too and I go out at least once a week to a in-house job in a pub...in the office. I like the guys who I work for, one especially makes me laugh like crazy and I will admit I do have a slight crush on him but he bats for the other team so nothing will happen. He is cute though and makes me smile so it is all good.

I don't know what else to say really, I am sure there is so much I need to talk about but it is time I went but I shall be back before the end of next week with more x
