Total = £120
Goal = £400

Things are looking up and it could be because it's Christmas and it is very hard to be sad at this time of year.
But a lot of stuff are going right at the moment and i hope it progresses in the same way :) Right now i am at home, freezing cold in my attic bedroom with what sounds like a storm outside. I am contemplating making a jacket potato and then a custard doughnut.
I went to work tonight and had a lovely time, now i am waiting for my boyfriend who is currently working at my old job in the restaurant.

Apart from everything that isn't going right, i decided to talk about the things that i am looking forward to.
My birthday and events
seeing Breaking Dawn
going for a Chinese buffet on the 4th
breaking up for Christmas five weeks today
Going Christmas shopping
the food at Christmas
another Chinese buffet on the 27th
starting my new job any time this week
New years eve.
Then it will be January and i can book my holiday in summer.

I hadn't realized it has been this long since i last posted on this page. I don't know what i have been doing that has made me busy, but i didn't have any time.
Today i finally completed my university application and that will be paid and sent off for tomorrow :)
I will be starting my new job any time soon, and i still haven't told my current boss that i will have another job.
I am normally really excited to start a new job but i am not, perhaps it's because the weather has been getting so cold, meaning i am not in the mood to do much else than stay in bed.
Though i am thinking about having more money, as it's almost Christmas and a few birthday's as well.
Including my own TWO WEEKS today! 22nd November.
I bought myself a necklace for it.
I have a lot of work to be doing at school so i am really busy doing all that, my main problem is getting my media film done, every time i bring work into school it's either ,too short, too long, or just crap.
In the half term which ended a week ago, i finally went shopping to Leeds, i wasn't there too long because i just went to Primark and bought what i needed, it was really rainy and so i wasn't in the mood.
I bought a Starbucks as usual, because Leeds is the nearest place that have a Starbucks so i look forward to getting one, but i ended up throwing half of it away.
I got all my make-up and then i was happy enough to go home, i stopped off at the supermarket to get a few extra things.
I went to stay with my dad who i haven't seen in a while and it was fun, we went to Leeds the day before i went :)
We went to see paranormal activity 3 and i loved it, i thought the acting was much better and it was a lot scarier than the other two. After that we went for dinner at T.G.I Fridays.
I had a ceasar salad and then a cookie dough cheesecake.
I totally forgot my art book as i didn't go to school the day we broke up because my brother was ill, so i didn't get any work done at all.
Overall it was a good half term and i only worked once which sucked a little.
Now i have until the 20th December before we break up for Christmas, but we have next Tuesday off :)
19/10/2011
It's Wednesday which means it's Friday the day after tomorrow and that day is the end of school term and we get 10 days off :)
I am going to rest a lot, hopefully work and go on my lovely trip to Leeds by myself, that's going to depend on my financial status and i have just this weekend to bump it up.
Sooooo... Last night it finally happened, my best friend cut my hair off. It was scary waiting for the main part to be gone and i freaked out a little bit, then she started cutting it shorter and styling it and now i really like it.
The majority of my hair has gone and it feels much better and i received a lot of compliments on it today at school.
Then as i was getting my coat on to go home and wash my hair, my boss text me asking me to go to work FINALLY, but i was already 20 minutes late, i quickly replied saying i had only just received his texts and if i should still go down.
Then i have twenty minutes to get home, change and get down there and luckily i manged. The night was quite and went very fast and the boss wasn't there which was kind of nice, i got to take some food home and i was really happy how the night had planned out.

I must say i did something rather spontaneous this week. On Wednesday i text boss and asked when i was next working, as did my friend. And strangely we never received a text back and so i was growing suspicious and was consulting my boyfriend when my phone started ringing, it was a women from a nursing home where i had applied for a job a few weeks ago. She had previously tried to contact me and i told her i was no longer interested in my application.
Then i sat and thought about it for a while and decided it was a good idea to see if my application had been successful.
And so i rung the women back and she was very shocked, i explained my job was unreliable and that i was really interested in a job at the nursing home. She told me she was glad i called and said she could fit a job around my other job too.
I expressed my interest and she invited me for an interview the following day.
I went to the interview and i think it went well, it is really good pay and i could still keep my other job. However even if i don't get a job there, i may continue looking for another job for more money.

I thought i would quickly make a note of an awesome band that i was introduce to at Leeds Fest 2011. They are called Best Coast and this is their album crazy for you. It is really good and i can't stop listening to it.
Highly recommended.

Today is Sunday and i have had a really good past couple of days, starting with me and my best friend going down to the restaurant we rang for out training. It went so well, i was put on bar and she was put on waitressing. All the staff were really nice and helpful and we soon got really in to it.
We were there for four hours but it went really quick and when we were finished we got a free meal and throughout the night, free drinks and on top of that we earned £10 each even though it was meant to be unpaid.
So we got a job together, which was something i really didn't think would happen. We were next into work on saturday and we left feeling really good.
I spent friday night with my boyfriend and then he left on Saturday when i was going into work, last night's work was really good too and that was still training but we still got a free meal and then £20 each.
Including a £2.50 tip each :)
We are not sure when we are next working, because he is going to text us, but i hope it continues going this well :)

Now i really do mean it, things are getting better. Yesterday i was just about to ring up a local restaurant about a job my mum had seen available.
And as i was dialling i received a text message from my best friend who was informing me that she had just rung up another restaurant and had been given an interview, so she passed on the number for the one she had rung and i gave her the other number too.
The first one i rang was the one my mum had told me about and the man seemed very pleased an 18-year-old was ringing him, then he told me to bring him a CV and present myself, then if we get along i could go for a trial shift.
he told me the hours and such and i was very interested.
Then i rang the other place who gave me an interview like my friend.
Sooo.... Today i had an interview at 5 and my friend had one at 6, mine went really well and he told me about the job and asked me loads of questions. When it was over he told me he was going to text me within the next few days.
Then my friend went for her interview and i rang her up when she was finished. And she told me that he had asked her if she knew me and she had filled him in that we used to work together and are good friends. So he invited both of us to start training tomorrow :)
However i am not sure if it is a trial to see if we are good, or if we have both been offered a position. Though i am really hoping it goes great and we both get a job!

Things are finally starting to look up just a little bit and i am so pleased to be a step out of the misery i was in last week.
Today i received a call back from a job that i applied for and gained an interview on Wednesday, which i am excited for and a little bit nervous as well.
I have a awesome weekend coming up if everything goes to plan :)
And overall i am just in a much happier mood despite some negative things going on at the moment and i am still hoping a great job opportunity comes along and works out wonderfully.
04/09/2011
This has been a rather boring day, though was ten times better than yesterday.
I have mainly been doing my art work and still haven't finished, that's probably because i went out for dinner with family a while ago.
I am preparing to go back to school tomorrow and i already have a busy day planned out for tomorrow, i have to go to school and when i have some spare time go to the libary and update my CV then print off some copies and head up to the village to get out some money for the bus fare.
Then when school is over nip on the bus to Skipton and do some job hunting, i hope it will be fairly successful as i all ready know of two part-time vacancies, i just hope the signs are still up tomorrow.
Also today my sister was fired from my ex job Fun Planet, mainly because that business is trying to get rid of everything to do with me. So glad my sister is out of there anyway.
Good luck for tomorrow :)
it's going to be one of those days today
It is Saturday morning and i go back to school on Monday and today i am dedicating my entire day to doing my art work and tomorrow if needed.
like i planned, i left it until the very last minute and i am actually not concerned because i do best under pressure.
Today i am also looking forward to making myself a jacket potato with cheese, i have had a real urge for one recently.
So... I am going to make an effort to get up and have so breakfast, then a shower, then do my work and eat and perhaps tonight i will have a bath.
:)
Thank goodness!
Finally the thing that has been bothering me for weeks is finally solved. Today i quit my part time job, i have been wanting to for weeks but i had to wait for my pay to go into my bank so that my boss wouldn't take the money away from me.
Me and my friend had both decided to quit and we met up this morning to do so, we started by ringing work and talking to a full time worker, then to our manager and then our boss.
My ex boss is the nastiest man ever, where i live he has a reputation of being horrid and people avoid working at his business.
Though somehow i survived nearly two years of him telling me i am ugly and need to wear more make-up, that i look grungy because i dye my hair and all sorts of personal things that were really not in his right to say to me.
I am free now, apart from the fact my sister and a few of my friends still work there, though the boss doesn't have a problem with my sister so it should work out cool for her.
You see the boss and manager sold the business a few weeks back and are leaving in a month, but i know he has told the new owner a load of untrue things about me, so it was easier to quit.
Me and my friend had to record the phone convosation in case the police needed to get involved, it's highly unlikely that they will.
The main reason for leaving was for my own happiness, as i was miserable working there.
TODAY TODAY TODAY!!!!
I didn't manage to do a one day to go post because i was way busy yesterday. And now is the time finally!!!!!
I woke up today at 7:30am due to excitement. I got out of bed at 9:00am, whilst showering and dressing i was screaming out that i was going to LEEDS FESTIVAL!
Then i went in to town with the friends i am camping with and my boyfriend (who isn't going to the festival)
I got everything i needed which included :
Normal Stuff - baby wipes, sandwich bags, dry shampoo, medicine, deodorant, sleeping mat, disposable camera's.
Food stuff - coco pops cereal bar, chewee cereal bars, pop tarts, cheese strings, bread, nutella, M&M's, biscuits, mints.
Alcohol stuff - Two bottles of sidekick one green apple and one blueberry, margaritas and five cans of mixed vodka.
2. Smirnoff gold with ginger beer
1. Smirnoff with apple juice
1. Smirnoff with cranberry juice
1. Pimms with lemonade
I think i spent too much on alcohol and not enough on food, however i am taking £90 with me.
When i got home i had to rush around to get everything done and i am still not entirely packed, even though i am going in a few hours.
I had do a final hair wash and make sure i have everything. All that's left to do is sort out how i am getting all my alcohol there.
:)
Then the biggest surprise about an hour ago my boyfriend rung me and told me he has got VIP for Leeds Fest and will be joining us tomorrow morning. I can't believe it.
Well then i best continue the getting ready process, i will be back on Monday hopefully dying after an amazing weekend !!!!!!!
2 MORE DAYS TILL LEEDS FESTIVAL!!!
Majorly excited now. I saw my friends today who were going to get all their food and alcohol to take with them, that will be me either tomorrow or Wednesday.
And luckily we have a plan :)
If me and Lucy get sent home from work tomorrow we are heading to Keighley to do our shopping and buy some £2.00 camera's.
Then we are going home to pack!!
Then it's just a wait.
On Wednesday i will find something to do with myself until i go to LEEDS FEST that night.
We are getting the 22:20 train to Leeds, we are meeting another friend on the train and then we wait until either 23:07 or 00:07 for the bus up to the park.
It is going to be a very late journey but i am too excited to care.
Once we arrive at the park, we have to wait a few hours until 03:00 in the morning so we can get let in, we then have to go meet our friends who will show us where they are camping and then sent up tent and fall asleep.
Wahoooo :)
Something i must do!
Take lots and lots of pictures. We are getting disposable camera's to take so that we can get the images printed off and put them in a photo album, i am excited to do this because i don't have any photo albums with memories in, so i am hoping it'll start me off on getting it done :)
A summary of today.
I have posted a lot today because i was in the mood to do it :) And soon i am going to turn off my music and watch Pretty Woman!
Tomorrow is the start of a new week and half way through i journey to else where, but i hope for good things in these next two days.
I am going to believe that life has something special in store for me and that i am not just a hopeless believer.
3 MORE DAYS TILL LEEDS FESTIVAL!!!
plans made so far = none!
Oops.
I have no idea what train we are getting to Leeds or what bus we are getting up to the park. I am hoping when i next talk to my friends they have planned something.
I am also relying on some other friends who are going a day earlier than us, to come and get us when we arrive, so we know where we are camping.
I had a dream last night about going to the festival and it all went wrong! The beginning of the dream i was waiting for a train to go back home and the festival had finished. That was when i realized i hadn't gone to see the two bands i want to see the most.
My Chemical Romance
+
30 Seconds To Mars
i started freaking out and was really gutted. It was one of those dreams that you were glad to wake up from.
Even though loads of bands are playing there are only a select few i want to see.
Muse
Panic At The Disco
Ed Sheeran
Crystal Castles
The Blackout
New Found Glory
30 Seconds To mars
My Chemical Romance
---------------------------------------
That is not a lot.
FOUR MORE DAYS TILL LEEDS FESTIVAL!!!!
Oh my goodness, an all year wait and it's finally just sleeps away from me.
I was a little annoyed to receive the weekend off work but now i can do some homework. THEN it's two days till i go for the weekend.
And something that adds to the excitement, when i arrive home on Monday 29th August it's the VMA's that night!
Finally after two weeks, my family returned. I was so happy to see my little brother and have everything back to normal.
Of course when your parents go away, as teenagers you are given specific rules to follow, though me being 18 and my sister being 16 we did go beyond the boundaries a little, and when my mum asked us if we had i was reluctant to admit it, but my sister did admit what she had done so i did too and mum wasn't bothered anyway :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some good news!
Luckily, getting my A-Level results wasn't a complete failure this year, i managed to pass all my exams and i am now on the track for university. I am going to resit one exam to bump up my grade a little :) Other than that i was very happy.
Only 5 more days to go until i go to Leeds Festival.
<3
On Thursday after i collected my results i headed to Leeds to do some shopping for Leeds Fest as i needed some more clothes, i found exactly what i needed and enjoyed a McDonalds and Starbucks whilst i was there. The luck continued when me and my friend found a 4 man tent for £15 which was just what we needed.
All that is left now is four days of terrible work and then next Wednesday i awake early and journey in to town to collect food, drinks and other items for the festival i will then come home, pack everything and then head out.
So excited!!!!!
This past week hasn't been too good for me, but i am looking forward to a few things. On Thursday i will be going to school for a while to pick up my A-Level results, this is going to be the second time i get these results and i am hoping they are much better than last year. The time before i didn't do so well therefore chose to resit my year 12.
Fingers crossed :)
At some point me and my friend are going shopping in Leeds, because next week we are going to Leeds Festival and we haven't bought anything yet. I am looking forward to getting prepared for this event as i have never been to a festival before.
Today i started doing my art homework, i have a huge amount to get done in a few weeks and i have been putting it off for a while, it has felt nice to get back on track.
And lastly a few week ago my parents and my little brother left to go on holiday and on friday they return. Me and my sister chose not to go with them however i really regret not going, i think having a break from your normal routine is healthy. Though i will be happy to see them and i will be sure to go next year! :)
GOODNESS THAT EACH WEEK BRINGS.
