Half Term

A-M just yelled at me from the living room and goes 'Right, Jeremy was standing by his car and was standing about 4ft away and it didn't work so he stepped 10ft away and it still didn't work the he stuck it to his head and it worked!' Does that make any sense WHATSOEVER?

So, it's half term and I am so ready for it, even though it started 4 days ago. We get these things called progress grades from school and it gives you a number from 1-4 (1 - Excellent 2-good etc.) the a letter A-C. The number is your attainment grade and the letter is effort. Well at my school it doesn't matter if you get a 39 as the number as long as you have 'tried your hardest' blah blah blah. Well I got a B in physics because of my silly teacher, don't even get me started on him... What really got me excited on my report though is the written bit from your form teacher. She says I am 'fun loving, polite, popular and has a good circle of friends' did you catch that? She said I'M POPULAR!!

On monday I was invited to Chester, which is like WELL cool. Went shopping and got this gorgeous jacket thing from New Look
On tuesday I chilled and did a bit of uneccessary homework (uneccessary on the teachers part by the way, I don't thrive on doing homework that hasn't been set). My mother got some boots, her dream boots and I went around trying all of the sample perfumes and ended up smelling like a perfume factory.
On Wednesday I chilled again and did some homework, and had left over pizza.
Thursay - went to Mom's shop (me and A-M). We got so annoying that she had to send us to the library around the corner, not the brightest idea don't you think? There was 4 bottles of this 'Fentimen's Cola' in her fridge, by the end of the day there was none, we had bought them all. I wonder what made us so annoying...
Friday - Going Manchesta wif me folks. Goin PRIMARK. My Mom says she is going to throw Dad into there. And we were all like, awww, he'll die! (Primark is this huge place where they sell everything for about £2 and it is a nightmare to move in that place on a saturday, and my Dad doesn't like crowds so not a good mix!)

This is just stuff springing to mind now...

Last Thursday (still in school) we had this talk after school about D of E (a making-yourself-a-better-person scheme) and I couldn't get a ride because my Dad was in Belgium and Mom had to deal with 2 other busy kids so I decided I would skip it. Everyone was like 'Oh but you have to go' on the day and Beth (I'm sure I've mentioned her bofore, but she's my friend) offered me a ride. So I go to her house after school, I have nothing to wear and she is a little bit, umm, bigger than me so none of her clothes fit me. I ended up going in a skirt, legging and a white hoodie, anyway the bottom line is it was humiliating because main thing in D of E is a major hiking thing. And I was wearing a skirt, kind of ironic.

I got new glasses on Saturday. They're purple. I didn't wear glasses all summer because the ones I had, I sat on and you're not supposed to get new ones until your yearly eye check up. Stupid right? I should of gone to Specsavers! Oh wait, I did (that's funny because, they have commercials all over the place and their catch phrase is 'Should've gone to specsavers').

I just got a new blog idea, if you're lucky I might do 2 today!

Today in the car on our way to the shop the conversation got onto cell phones. My Mom goes 'My screen is breaking I'm gonna have to get a new one soon. 'Automatically everyone except me goes 'Oh ya I need one really bad.' We have all had our phones for four years, except of course Katherine. I then said 'Hold on a minute Katherine. We have had the same phone for 4 years and you have gone through 4. You're not allowed to say that.' Have I told you about this? She's had her first one, which was a flip phone and she decided that hers was out of date and got another one. I rerally nice pink one. Then she drops it down the toilet. End of that one. She then has to use A-m's for a while because she needs it more than her. Finally she got a cheap flip phone which she has now. I thought that was funny :-)

I got a bank statment yesterday and I am 1/200th of a way to having A million big ones. I wrote all over it in highlighter yesterday because I was so exciteed.

I was also excited about the 2 comments I had from my cake post yesterday.

Now if you'll excuse me I must indulge myself playing the helicopter game for 5 minutes then I shall write up that next post. Or myabe posts. ??? That'll be the day.

CAKE! Everybody loves cake!

Since my life seems to have been a bit un-blog-able lately, I have decided to blog about things that have happened in the past, by past I mean before I discovered blogging. This first one is about cake, who knows how many more I am able to conjure up...

It all started on the 22nd April when I was prep 4 (3rd Grade). My Mom told me that she was going to bake me a cake and take it into school later on that day (because it was my birthday, of course). Little did I know how much trouble it took her to make that cake. I'm not sure exactly how this story goes but I will try my best to make it as accurate as possible. This was before my Mom go ther shop so she was able to do things like this.
SO, she was making my cake at home and realized that she needed something from the store. Off she goes in her car to buy whatever. Then she realizes that she needs some gas desperately. So she goes to the gas station to get some gas. At home she was able to finish this cake and now had to do the frosting. Now, over here in England you have to make your own because this country isn't as convenient as to have ready made frosting at stores. She was in the middle of frosting the cake when the fuzz visited our house.

It turns out that while at the gas station, with her wallet on top of the car, intending to pay, was so (I have no idea how to spell this word) siatracked that she had forgotten to pay. Wallet on top of the car, filled up, got in the car, drove home. The police had her wallet and she went to pay for the gas. By the time she got home, of course, the frosting was rock 'ard. She had to make some more. Finally, the cake was done and she came to my school, I, completely unaware of what she had been through to bring me a birthday cake. Don't even get me started on what it looked like... My Mom said that it was Earth Day, and it looked like a pile of dirt, so it all works out. It was really good though.

A couple of days later, we went to see one of my Mom's friends. My Mom still hadn't told me her encounter with the police and Anna, her friend, mentions it and I was like 'Whaa?' and she goes 'You've no idea how much trouble your Mum went through to get you that cake.' Or something along those lines. I'm sure there was something else that made this story more dramatic but I am afraid I have forgotten, but if I remember I will keep you posted! Get it? Because you post on a blog. Ahahaaaa......

You have no idea how long it took me to find a picture of me eating a cake, that's not the same one by the way, I was trying to find the one of me diving head first into a huge cake when I just turned one. Do you know which one I mean?
