All good things do not last forever...

Had a nice day, sales, but of revision, time with grandma and dad but the "girlfriend" has to ruin everything, she gets under my skin. Why should a teenager have to suffer with her parents relationship issues? Shouldn't adults be able to make decisions for themselves and do good for there own family... All he asks for is an easy life with no stress but the decisions he makes and the thoughts he thinks isn't giving him or me who he confines in much of an easy anything. Please God if your listening just let me cope with my own issues, no one else's, exams in which are too hard to cover in the given time period and the usual teenage issues... It's not fair that I need to even discuss anything to generate a better thought pattern to others if it means me being drained. Goodnight :/ x

Christmas is here!

Our failed attempt, at my dads I have to say we really do skimp out I mean we have had this tree since.... Before I was born? Haha literally! But even though we knew how it looks we always decide to use the same tree, dads promised to invest next year in a half decent one though! I will take a picture of mums in comparison in another post... Baring in mind me and my sister didn't help put it up so that might be why! Anyways happy Christmas to all :) x

My iPhone 4S!

Not another apology I know you don't want to hear it but I have good news I am on my new iPhone! Yes just got the 4s and it really is amazing I love it, so much of an upgrade from the lg ks360 i have had since I was in year 8... That's around 4 years defiantly time for an upgrade! Also I am paying with money I received from my exams and also the contract is part of my Christmas allowance :p anyway getting to the point I will be posting a lot more because I can post on the go now and also take photos and upload instantly! Amazing stuff!

34. Saturday 13th August- Venice!!

Great day in Venice, very hot, lots of ice cream and a ride.















Mazipan Tomato =) (I love Mazipan)


33. Friday 12th August

Great day sadly no photographs, swam in a lake which was behind our camp site in a site in between Lake Garda and Venice! Didn't see Garda though =S Basically a day swimming and sunbathing on a blanket on the grass near the lake!

32. Thursday 11th August Como!

 Lake Como and traveling into Italy-

31. Wednesday 10th August- Chocolate Factory and Italy!

Today we visited a Swiss chocolate factory-
  
 
The tasters! I felt really ill (i made the most of them!)

Also we walked around another lake the once which was linked to Lake Laguno but im not sure if this one was called something else as we were on the Italian side! Yes my first time in Italy! even at the border we noticed the shops and food was ALOT cheaper than Switzerland! Oh and also the campsite we hjave been staying at the last 2 nights and will be staying at tonight is nice in a small town called Celaro 100km away from Milan (Italy) Its very expensive for a camp site 68 Swiss Francs about £62 per night! they are usally half or less than half than that!

The lake in Italy--

30. Tuesday 9th August- Lake Laguno (Switzerland)


A visit to lake Laguno or it might be spelt Lugano not sure! Well i don't even know if it is lake Laguno it is in the town Laguno and its a huge lake which runs between the mountains and the other side is actually in Italy! Its about 30 min away from the camp site. A really great day, went on the pedalos, had food which was very expensive- for example we had 4 ice creams which came to 20 Francs which is about £18, In England it would cost about £6 for 4 ice creams max!

29. Monday 8th August 10am

We are on the road again attempting to get to the south of Switzerland... I will let you know how it goes!

Yes we made it!Its about 9pm and we are in Lugano (well on the outskirts) that's south Switzerland! We are staying here for 3 days which is great as it gives some time to relax and site see! The scenery is great and there is a waterfall behind us (which i don't have a pic of but my dad does so i will hopefully get that soon!)

                        
                        A town we travelled through which contained a lot of typical Swiss houses.


28. Sunday 7th August- Water!

Today consisted of mainly driving we got through Belgium and Luxembourg and back to France (east). We had enough after around 6 hours so we began the hunt for a camp site, which didn't exactly go as planned- streets with one way no entry signs, the SatNav did not take those into consideration also the "extras" button did not work which usually has a list of the closest campsites so we had to use our brain for a change and look for a municipal park and hope there was a camp site near it (as in most towns they usually have municipal campsites in France)
Anyway the lady who managed the site said there was something beautiful happening in the park on that night and she was doing firework motions with her hands but when we arrived on the dot at 10pm it was a water show (not what we expected but it was good) well actually the over heard voice over thing said it was an "aquatic show" . Hundreds of locals turned up to see this show and they had benches around, not much else to say apart from look at the photos and videos---
 

27. Saturday 6th Auguast- Disaster

An absolutely traumatic day and what a start to the holiday! Starting with the first 10 mins on the way to Dover my dad got caught jumping a light (we were in a rush! I know that's not an excuse but I'm not the driver :P) Dad couldn't believe it when they came up behind him, serves him right in a way! Didnt got much better on the motorway either as on the M25- TRAFFIC! We ended up missing the ferry we were supposed to catch at noon and we ended up getting there at 3:30pm and the next ferry was at 4pm (comes every 2 hours) sid have a little luck! Also we didn't have to pay any supplement because we had some excuses up our sleeve, but we were prepared to pay though! So we made it to France, pitched up and slept!

Decided not to put prom photos on as the people in the photos may not want to be fully accessable to the public!

24. Putting it off and update!

Hello again, yes another apology! I'm sorry! Well I'm not sure why i am apologising because i never said i would post all the time ;p Anyway so i have literally been on blogspot pretty much everyday since my last post and for some reason i have been putting it off, which isnt good seen as i am doing this for fun in a way but that's just me =S but i have brought myself today to update you.
Another reason why i haven't made a post is because i have had nothing to really say, well you will see.
Monday- I went to an experience day at my future college, it was pretty scary at first but then you realise that everyone else is feeling the same well that's what i thought i would realise but other people knew each other and sat together ect ect but some were like me! Lots of my friends are going to my college but their experience day was on Tuesday not Monday! which bothered me at first, basically we had a quick presentation and then e met our tutors and did a few activities but the best part was the free food, i had this lovely jacket potato with chillie con carne on, i know its just a jacket potato but it tasted really really nice cooked to perfection! by this time i had found someone from my school this girl who i am friends with so it was ok! Then we were allowed to leave and we had a walk around town together bought a few things and then went home, this lasted from 11:30 to pretty much 3pm which is longer than i expected!

Tuesday- I just relaxed all day pretty much did the odd job and that was it.

Wednesday- Went shopping with my sister (she had the day off because the rest were on a trip she didn't want to go to) It was a good trip we bought some nice stuff i got 2 pairs of sandals, shorts, ummm and some vests and bits and bobs.

Thursday- I woke up really late and just was on my computer all day. Found out i was going on holiday to Crete next week so my last post will be maybe on Wednesday or Tuesday? I'm not sure, i will be away for 2 weeks! Going to this new hotel looks amazing i will post pictures when i get back for sure! Oh i will post a few prom ones after this post you wanted to see.

Friday- Got up late again! Did ironing yes it really was back breaking! but i have to do it because we are going on holiday and we don't want creased clothes, mum cant do it because shes working and sister is at school. So I'm the dosser who gets to stay at home all the time now XD

Saturday (today)- Went down town with dad and sister, got a subway a foot long tuna hehe it was filling but yummy! Having a BBQ later as well.

Some photos of where we are staying as in the hotel its a spa hotel-

I'm pretty excited it looks really nice, well i think anyway!

Speak soon,

23. Prom!

The last few days have been filled with prom preparation and revision, on Wednesday i had my last exam, which was Textiles. It seemed to go ok but some of the questions were pretty impossible to waffle through as you had to know the fact to answer it, but there is no harm in guessing. Most of it was ok though apart from the few bad questions.

Then after the exam it was prom preparation, to be honest the most preparation i had to do was mental preparation! I don't know what i was worried about!

Friday was prom, i got picked up by a friend at 7 and then we got to the venue at around quarter to eight. And everyone was there we went late, the arrival time was 7:30-8. We didn't go in anything fancy and we are glad we didn't as it would have been a waste of money, it was raining you see and everyone was inside and you couldn't see the transport anyway! On the way me and my friend were actually pretty scared well i was more excited (i say now) but my friend felt sick XD When we got inside, it was the usual friendly welcome from everyone! and at first glance everyone did look really nice, and when i had more of a chance to look at people after the chaos of arriving i still thought everyone looked really nice! I'm glad everyone made the effort and we all did look really nice.. i am saying really nice a alittle too much!
The head of year gave a speech and handed out a few sarcastic awards for worst dressed ( like the worst uniform) and that, obviously i didn't get one because my uniform is always perfect XD
Next we went to get our "professional photographs" taken which was good but we waited in the que for a while and we couldn't even come back later when it wasn't so busy as the woman said she was only going to do it between certain times... So me and my best best friend had one together and my and my other best friends had one the second being with about i think it was 9 or 10 of us (cant be bothered to count) The only bad thing about the photos were everyone was sooo hot it was unbelievable especially waiting while she fiddled around with everyone dresses and that! Gosh... And also the rest of the year group were all gathered around looking while the photo was taken! which was very off putting and i bet the photos arnt as good as they could have been now!
After they were done it was pretty much dancing for at least 3 hours straight! well with the odd item dipped in chocolate and we also had alittle food, there was a hog roast and it was actually a pig on a stick, which i didn't really expect.
Anyway everyone was dancing and getting into it and to be honest i didn't really care what people thought of me seen as its the last time we are to be all together, me and my friends were pretty wild! Especially me I'm not sure what really got into me! The songs were good as well ranging from moden to the oldies which are always fun! My feet were hurting by the end of the night even though i was in flats i got a blister from the shoes, well not a blister but i can see it was on the verge of being one!
We had the the last song which for some reason was the Bear necessities from the jungle book, which was a strange choice, it all finished at around 12:30 am
We texted my dad to pick us up and it is a far distance to even get near the place from my dads house! and it was also hard to find! i am surprised he want later, i had to ask people from the venue to help with directions! haha the DJ was also talking to us fr awhile and got into a convo with us and it was strange but he was nice hahha.... we ended up getting to my friends house at umm it was after 2am maybe closer to 3 am? And we sat and talked for awhile and then at about 5 we passed out.. I fell asleep really quickly! I'm not surprised with all that dancing!
When i woke up this morning the top of my legs and feet hurt, and still do alittle! it was a real workout =P
Overall prom exceeded my expectations and i thought it really was an amazing night dancing with everyone and just everyone let their hair down! Really a night to remember!

22. Time for a practice!


Above is two pictures of my hair, this style will be for prom which is on this Friday. I think it all went to plan and i quite like it but i don't really like the 4 flowers maybe 2 dotted about it looks a little uniform at the moment. What do you think? I like it! The make up went quite well as well but i don't have a photo of that but i think the purple on the eyeshadow needs toning down alittle bit! This is not the final product on Friday we are making the front more volumised and the curls will be more defined this was just a quick go to find out what it would look like! Couldn't really do that much as my hair is pretty long and it would fall out i think if we pinned more up and would be more uncomfortable!
