As I may have mentioned, went to Blackpool with a few of my mates during half term week. We only went for a few days but it was so great!

Had to leave really early to get to catch the train into Birmingham, THEN we had to try and find the coach station THEN walk for miles trying to find it, only to find it was delayed 20 minutes, so we had to wait AAAAGES for it to get there... but even that was kind of fun :D

Took about 3 hours to travel up there. We all just sat talking, eating maoams all the way :D

Once we got to Blackpool we had to actually find the B&B we were staying at, all the while pulling very heavy suitcases behind us might I add!

Went out to the cinema the first night (ha ha - another long search for the cinema :P) Saw Cloverfield, which was quite good actually.

Next day was Pleasure Beach day! The Pepsi Max was closed due to bad weather, but we went on most of the other rides; Ice Blast, VALLHALA (got so wet on that!), Grand National, INFUSION, Irn Bru, Avalanche... you get the picture.

Went for a chinese while we were there, that was pretty good. And, I did of course take pictures all the while (which is what I'm going to leave you with... cheerio!)

Yup, the last Harry Potter book came out last friday, and having been a Harry Potter Fan since I was 11, I went up (with my cousins) to get the last book at the midnight opening. We were the first one's there (we arrived at about 11:20) and so were the first ones to get our books! I got discount on mine as well since my cousin worked at the store we got them from :P

Stayed up until 2.00 in the morning reading, until I remembered I had work that day and forced myself to go to sleep :P

Oh yeah, my first day of work - that went soooo well </sarcasm>. A bottle of wine fell off the conveyer belt and smashed all over the floor!!! Trust that to happen to me on my first day :P

Also saw the latest Harry Potter Film the other day (I swear, I'm not that obsessed :P). It was ok, I was in a good mood so I didn't pick out all the bits they missed out from the books (like I did with the previous films :P).

My computer's still not fixed, but I stayed at me Nan's last night so I'm using hers. Oh! And my Dad phoned last night from America! It's his birthday in a couple of weeks, so we're sending him something over. Nan says it has to be something light so it doesn't cost a fortune in postage :P

Anyways, I do believe I have ran out of stuff to say, so until I can next get onto a computer.

Yup, I got back from Turkey at 7.00 on Tuesday morning, having not slept in nearly 24 hours (I don't like flying so I find it hard to sleep on planes.) So I spent the day sleeping and catching up on a weeks worth of missed TV :P Sad I know, but I was too tired to care!

Then, I go to go on the computer yesterday only to find out that it won't turn on. I was beyond annoyed - my mum's trying to find someone to fix it, but it's past its warranty, so she reckons it might be cheaper to just buy a new one!

So yeah, looks like I'll lose all my sims 2 data AGAIN, and it means that until then I have to come all the way into town to use the library computers, which I can't do every day 'cause the bus fare's too high now I can't get away with a child's ticket :(

Anyway, enough of me moaning - I suppose I should talk about my holiday really :P It was ok actually - really hot, beautiful suroundings - we went on two boat trips which was fantastic! Oh - and I had a Turkish bath as well, which was also good.

Only think bad about the whole thing was getting sunburnt! I wouldn't have minded if it was near the end of the week - but it was on the second day, which means I had to stay covered up for the rest of the holiday! I started to live in my football shirt since it was the longest sleeved top I took.

So yeah, Turkey was great, but I'm glad to be back. Not looking forward to going back to work on Saturday, but you can't have everything in life :P
Anyway, my two hours are nearly up, so I gotta go.

It's quite shocking - I yet again have stuff I can write about which isn't to do with school or exams or anything like that :O

Last Thursday was my Year 11 prom :D Which was pretty great - got to ride in a limo for the first time which was... an experience :P Matt and Stiggy kept winding down the end windows to shout and wave at the people who were staring at us as we drove past them :P

So yeah, just spent the evening eating and dancing the macarena and time warp :P Didn't take many photos - I'm gonna wait a few days and check people's bebos/myspaces and steal theirs :P We did have a proffessional one taken on the night though which is currently sitting on top of the stereo in the living room :P

Prom didn't finished until 11.30 - I text my mum to tell her to come pick me up from my mate's house (where the limo was dropping us off to) and she turned up in her dressing gown having just got out of bed. Oops :P

Anyway, I'm completely exhausted today 'cause I had to get up at 6.30 yesterday morning to go to Alton Towers (the theme Park if you don't know it). It was fanta-tastic! We went on LOADS of rides - "oblivion" still remains my favorite, but "air" was pretty good as well. There weren't too many long queues either which was good.

In fact, the only problem we had throughout the day was that it wouldn't stop raining! Seriously - my hair was straight and dry when we left, by the time we got half way around the park I looked like a drowned rat :P And just when I thought I couldn't get any wetter - we went on "the flume," which left me pretty much drenched :P Oh well, we was having too much fuin to notice :P

So, after that incredibly longer-than-usual entry, I would like to day goodbye, since it's 11:47am and I'm feeling a bit hungry :P

It's been a pretty busy week, which is suprising since the summer holidays are usually boring for me.

It was my stepmom-to-be's hen night on Friday. We went to this greek restaurant which was actually quite cool. After we'd eaten they brought out this belly dancer - and she went around getting the heads of all the different tables to get up and do belly dancing on the tables with her! It was well funny :P

We're going quad biking on wednesday as well, which should be a laugh.

Oh yeah - I finally got a job! I had an interview the other day and they rang me back two days later to say they'd like to offer me a job. It's only in a supermarket - working on the cashiers, which is funny 'cause i dont actually know how to work a till :P

Anyway, I need to go recover some more from my mate's 16th bbq last night, so until next time.
