Hello dear readers!


I've had a great weekend, you've probably all heard about it because I know all my readers from some place or another were I've been ranting and raving about the weekend. But just in case you haven't...I'll tell you again!

(If you've already heard it, then keep scrolling down till you get to something interesting XD)


On Friday I got up early...ish. Went shopping with Mum, cleaned the bathroom and cleaned my bedroom. All in time for when the Retallicks were coming to stay =D

You see, I've been talking to David for about three years, we met up two years ago, but it didn't go down too well as I was too shy and just wasn't my usual self (mad). So I was a bit apprehensive about this weekend coming up where Rachel (their mum), David, Hannah and Johnny were staying at ours.


So when they finally arrived at 03:30PM I had a few butterflies going round my tummy...But after a walk to the back to see the aeroplanes it was ok :D

We then went to our Church's bowls evening, David and I as a team came no were near first of course...But we're planning to do better next year ;)


Then on the Saturday (after getting to bed late the night before because we came home and had a few games of Dutch Blitz...Vhat Fun Ve all had!!! =P) We all got up blurry eyed, ate loads of toast (Mum told me we got through three loads of bread and two packets of butter for those two breakfasts that weekend!) we drove to Kenilworth Castle. Good fun :D All got very wet..but hey...we're home educators...it's learning and nothings going to stop us! =D


Then we came home, had tea and David, Georgie, Nicole, Hannah and I went off to Dudley for the youth rally. Was a very good talk on Proverbs 23v23 and buying the truth but not selling it.

Then we had a 50 minute car drive back home from Dudley. We came home, and sat down, except Me and David who were up in the bedroom having a good, well deserved talk and catch up =D


Then on the Sunday we all walked to church in the gusts, meeting dogs on the way, nice people on the way and Johnny being a bush and scaring two girls....=D hehe.


But then they had to go home on the Sunday afternoon :( Was very sad to see them all go...But it had to be done!

There is a chance of seeing them next week while on Holiday in Wales which I'm looking forward to as well =)


Well...That ends my eventful weekend of fun. As for today and yesterday. Well...Nothing worth telling the whole world yesterday happened...and today..I went to home ed meeting :D Was good fun...=D


So yes...Hope to hear from you and I'll be blogging soon ;)


Tata! xx

Today has been a milestone in the educational part of my life. Today I have, God willing, done my last GCSE. It was my last History exam on the changing roles of women and the Vietnam war. that isn't the only exciting thing that has happened this past few weeks.
Last week, on the Monday. There was a knock at the door, I thought to myself 'It couldn't be...not yet!' So I eagerly walked to the door and opened it...Yes..it was. My laptop had been delivered! (Ok, so maybe not as exciting as you hoped...but it was for me!) From all the money I had earned whilst working at Birmingham Law Society I had sat down and thought hard about what to buy with it, and I came up with the idea of buying a laptop which would be very helpful in September when doing all my work for college or the zoo.
Talking about the zoo, I still haven't heard any news from there...So please keep praying!

To carry on from my last blog, I has a good time at YP, and stayed over at Hannah Harding's house because Hannah B was not there. Then on the Saturday, we went shopping to Merry Hill...Now THAT was fun! We brought bunny ears. Then later on met up with Jonathan (Hannah's older brother) and his best mate, Adam. They all go to YP. We had SUCH a good time, there are pictures in various places for those of you who want to see them just say and I will show them to you! :D

Then all my exams went well, I'm just so glad to have them all over and done with. This week I've got something planned for almost every day. Tomorrow I'm going to help mum out with her new business that she's starting up. Sweet and Precious gifts. Then on Wednesday, Nicole and I are getting up early and going into town for when Primark opens as not to catch all the queues and busyness of Primark during the day. Then on the Wednesday night, I'm going out to the theater to see 'Our House' with Beth (my sister) and two other girls from work. Which will be really nice. Then on the Friday I have a friend and his family coming down to stay with us for the weekend. Rachel, David, Hannah and Johnny are all coming down on Friday. Just in time for the bowls event at our church on the Friday night. On the Saturday night there's a Dudley Youth Rally which we will all go to, I'm looking forward to that.
Then, the week after that its back to thinking 'what can I do with my time!?'

So, watch this space, as I might be blogging within those weeks of boredom just for something to do.
