Remember, remember...

Hey guys, hope you've all enjoyed the weekend and you Brits had a good Bonfire night :) Just a little update of what I've be up to and a few photos...

I was really gutted when we came back from Norfolk- I thought I'd take some pictures of the amazing colours in our garden to show you, so I got my camera only to find half of the leaves had fallen and the other half were brown :( I found this one from a few weeks go though :)

On Saturday the family got together for my Grandad's 80th birthday. It was really nice to see everyone, even though the meal was a bit rushed. This was his cake (He's a rower as you might have guessed!)

We went for a little walk afterwards so I took some more photos :)

My aunt and uncle were supposed to stay over on Saturday but decided not too at the last minute so my parents went to our town's bonfire and fireworks on their own. They got some really good pictures though...
As for me, I watched them from a hill with my best friend Ffi (it's were all the stingy people who don't wanna stand in a crowd go :P) Afterwards we went to Chazzy's house where 8 of us sat around all evening watching 'Clueless' and 'Scary Movie' We had a good time but lost track of time so I didn't get home til 1.30 :/

Hope you like the photos, thanks for reading :)

A Place In This World

Just thought I'd show you some pics from our recent family holiday to Norfolk :) (Family meaning me and my parents (minus my bro), my uncle Guy plus wife and three kids and my uncle Toby plus wife and two kids. So a pretty big bunch, 12 to be exact...) We rented a really nice big house which was cosy and countryside-ish...and right next to the sea :)

We didn't do much, it was mainly rainy walks and lazing around at home. I was lucky as I got to be a kid and spend time with my cousins and go to 'Bewilderwood' (a giant adventure play place in the woods) but I still got to spend time with the adults and have nice meals and drink posh wine :P Though one night I was used as a babysitter for all 5 kids!

Above Left- Me and my cousin Ted on a very cold and rainy walk. Right- Me and my mum by the seaside. Sorry the pictures are of myself, I didn't want to put pictures of all my cousins up for the usual reasons :)

Above- we went on a boat to see some seals, in the rain which was lovely! They were amazing, just lolling around on the beach, must've been freezing though even with all that blubber!

Above- Our pumpkin :) It wasn't quite Halloween but why not? My mum, two cousins and I carved it, please appreciate the incredible artwork ;)


On the last day we went crabbing which I've never actually done before. We caught loads of crabs! We let them go afterwards of course, mind you they did suffer a bit as they were kept in a bucket and held lots :/
The crabs did get a bit angry when we let them out onto the concrete...they all made it safely back to the sea eventually though, don't worry :)

Above- a collage picture in a little art gallery in the seaside town, I love it :)

Above- my dad and I just before we left, my mum managed to get the seagull in the background :P

So yes, overall it was a really nice holiday :) I love spending time with the family however cheesy it sounds and it was good to get away, but I now have all my homework to catch up on, bad times :/

Anyway, hope you're all well, thanks for reading :)

I Found A Whistle

I have been very neglectful to you all in the past week so I thought I'd do a quick (although it will probably take me ages) catch-up post.

Friday- I worked at the cattery in the morning and got paid :D (I went there for three mornings on work experience and at the end she gave me 50 quid, which was unexpected but very welcome!) In the evening I got the train to London on my own and met my uncle and Euston station, he took me to their house then he and my aunt went out for a meal, leaving me to look after my three cousins :)

Saturday- All 6 of us travelled across London on the tube, by foot and by taxi eventually getting to London zoo :D We spent the day there then went out for a Chinese in the evening, to congratulate me on my GCSE results which was very nice!

Sunday- One of the kids had rugby so me, my aunt and the two girls went for a walk and picked lots of blackberries to make an apple and blackberry crumble. We came home and had a lazy day, playing on the Wii and baking! In the evening we all watched Terminator Salvation which was surprisingly good even though I haven't seen the first 3 films!

Monday- Two of the kids were back at school so my aunt, the youngest and I went for a coffee before dropping me off at the tube station. I got the 45min tube then the train home. In the evening I had work at the swimming pool which was a bit of a bore but never mind!

Tuesday- I had enrolment day at sixth form, it made me nervous but it was good to see everyone. In the evening me and some friends cycled to a nearby village to my friend's house as her parents were away. We just hung round and watched TV then Kill Bill (the boys' suggestion!) which was actually quite good! We all stayed over, watched Wild Child in the morning then cycled home :)

Wednesday- It was my best friend's birthday so I came home and had a shower before gong to her house to give her my present (MGMT tickets for me and her- can't wait!) I worked at the pool for a few hours then went back to her house to have a shower before going out for a meal with about 10 of us which was really nice.
Thursday- Today I was supposed to get up early to go shopping with my friend but I got phone call from her at 1 when I was still in asleep (oops!) saying she was outside my house and apologising because she was late! I got up and we went shopping for about an hour. I had work again and came home to sort everything out for sixth form which starts tomorrow! I'm really nervous, I still don't know what to wear and if I have the right stuff but oh well, I just hope I wake up in the morning!!

Thanks for reading :) Georgina xx

Hate people who think their life is a drama

Yer this title is a bit hypocritical...I do hate people who think their lives are dramatic, I don't believe I am one of those people, but I do think we all have things to complain about however lucky we are and I choose to vent through the medium of blogging :) Here goes...

Agitation. That seems to be all I feel at the moment. Everything just pisses me off and thinking about doesn't help much either. Huh. I keep meaning to update this blog and I should be a bit more positive but right now is the time for ranting and moaning, sorry guys.

Ok the first one- exams. Yer we all have them, well most of us, so you feel the pain. It seems to just take over...every happy thought is drowned in the dreaded 'r' word.
(I've just realised the girl in the photo is drawing but let's pretend it's maths :P)

Clothes...Ok I know these complaints are so petty..I'm a bad person for getting stressed over clothes but they seem to be all I think about. Because summer's starting and my wardrobe consists of a few pairs of jeans, a variety of hoodies and plain t-shirts, I'm getting desperate. I just dream of floral dresses, sunglasses and denim shorts...

My hair. It's never been right, but now it's just boring I suppose. I try to do stuff with it but it doesn't wish to cooperate. I used to have it really short when I was little so now I'm obsessed with growing it and even though it's not far past my shoulders I don't wanna have it cut...however out of control it is.

This is the real agitator (if that's a word) Noise. Petty but boy does it get to you. Being at home all day doesn't help and the fact that my dad decided to hire a friggin cherry picker to do 'work on the house' halfway through my GCSEs...so drills and hammers it is for me.

Sleep. The old body clock's pretty fucked up again. I go to bed at 2-3 in the morning and get the rents coming in my room at 9am telling me not to waste the day and that I have work to do. Cheers.
(I love the sofa in the picture below <3)

Braces- small but friggin mighty. I hate the bloody things, they cause me nothing but pain and I've just been told my 2 baby teeth, which should be long-gone, have to be pulled out -.-
Family, who needs 'em? Yes they are being nice...but overly nice as if to compensate...I dunno what for, I suppose they saw me drifting a bit. But I want to drift I don't want to be wrapped in cotton wool. I just don't get them and they don't get me.

Again, I am a horrible person for complaining about this, please forgive me. Food, I dunno, I'm just gaining a lot of weight at the moment. I've always been really skinny and want to stay that way but boredom transfers to hunger and I pile of the pounds. It does get me down.
Thanks for reading, I hope you're all well and I don't bring you down with my meaningless non-problems... Have a good week, let's hope for some sun :)
