Lolz on Our Holz

Hey guys, hope you're all ok and enjoying the sunny weather if you're lucky enough to have any! I've been meaning to post about T4 on the Beach and I have finally got round to it :) It really was one of the best weekends ever :D here goes...

Saturday- it was the day after prom so we were all a bit knackered but we had to get up to meet at the train station at 11.30. We got the train to Birmingham then Bristol then Weston-Super-Mare and managed to have a pretty good journey. We were all so excited on the way! My friend Ffion had bought us all white t-shirts, so we all sat on the train writing our nicknames and 'T4 on the Beach' all over them! The last train was so busy, I got squashed into a corner on my own and loads of people kept asking me why there were so may people...they clearly don't watch channel 4 :P


We camped over night with 1000 other T4ers...that was pretty mental. Most people were drunk and the music went on all night. We didn't have any booze so we were a bit bored! We made some friends though- a group of boys who came and sat in our tent for a bit (it was a tee pee, how exciting!!) It was quite nice to just sit around and chat cos we were all so tired from travelling!

Sunday- the day of the concert, we got up at about 8 and got a coach to the beach. It was so busy, we queued for an hour and a half which isn't too bad considering some people had been there since 4 in the morning! The actual concert was really good, Dizzee Rascal and Jason Derulo were amazing but Example and Plan B (on the smaller stage) were definitely the best! The only problem with T4 is that it revolves around the TV show so we were constantly being used as 'the crowd' being asked to cheer and shout the artists' names which was a bit tedious.

After the concert we had to wait for a taxi for an hour and twenty mins. We were not happy. It was so cold and we were all starving so we just sat on a street corner taking photos! A good way to spend your time :D

Monday- the morning after T4 and on our campsite there were only 18 of us left out of the previous 1000! It was like a wasteland with rubbish everywhere! We walked around the site and realised that there was so much stuff left behind! I know it's really disgusting but we went round to see what we could find (we had nothing do on Monday and were staying for another night.)

There was so much stuff left behind! We found this paddling pool and filled it with our findings :D Most of it was booze as that was our priority (we'd been away all weekend and hadn't had a drop) We also found a wind break, a radio, footballs, camping chairs, roll mats, crisps (unopened), BBQs, juice, a bucket, shoes, plastic cups, a torch and much more! We ended up making an amazing little camp for ourselves :D

So most of the day was taken up with drinking, sleeping and sunbathing, what a nice life :D In the evening we made some more friends, three of whom sat with us and played their guitar while we all sat round a BBQ (which we found :P) and sung along and got drunk :) Monday was by far the best day!

We got up the next morning, had a nice shower (that we didn't have to queue for!) then left to catch our three trains home. So pretty much an amazing weekend with the only downside being restricted to where we could go...next year we're hoping to drive there :)

Thanks for reading :)

We're all going on a Summer Holiday

Ok this is a very rushed post...a quick update on the past few days- book return day, sixth form induction day, prom-getting-ready-for-day and then prom :D (I dunno why we call it prom but 'the ball' sounds really chessy, like something out of Cinderella!)

So...prom yesterday, it was so fun and so much better than we thought it would be. We got a limo there (cheesy again, I know!) and then danced all night, it was so fun! I'll be putting some photos up soon :) Anyway now I'm off to Weston-Super-Mare to T4 on the Beach and we're leaving in about half an hour...that's why this is so rushed! I did want to do a proper post this morning but after not going to bed 'til three I slept in a bit and now have no time to spare! I promise I will be here to update you next week :)

Thank you all for reading and sorry that I won't be posting 'til Tuesday, until then fellow bloggers :)

Football and Photos

Ahh I'm such a busy bee at the moment, even though school's finished and exams are over I still manage to have too much to do! I had my last exam yesterday finally! I felt like the only person who wasn't free yet :(

So anyway it was the England v Slovenia football game as you probably already know :P I went to my friend's house to watch the match- we're not really into football but you know, it's the world cup we've got to make something of it! To be honest we weren't really watching it, it was in the background while we talked and took photos!

Thats' our little family photo :) I don't usually like putting people's pictures on here seeing as no one knows about this blog but ahh well, a few won't hurt, hey?

The one above's pretty funny- we put the camera on self timer so we all sat there smiling when Lydia (middle) shouted "Look they've scored!" so we all turned to the TV looking really shocked and confused and then we realised it was half time and they were replaying the goal! Classic photo, I love our bemused faces!

This one's a bit random...like I said I don't really like putting photos of other people on here so I found one that was just of me. It was supposed to be really cool because one eye would be bigger than the other, I guess it didn't really work!

From there I went on to my other friend's house, with the T4 on the beach girls, to practice setting up the tent and just for a general gathering :) That was really good fun, there are some photos but I'll put those up another time. We stayed over in the tent which is amazing! It's a giant teepee that easily fits the 7 if us who are going, plus all of our stuff...ooh I'm excited now :D

Being the busy person that I am, I woke up in the morning and rushed home for a shower so I could go to someone's birthday meal. It was good but a bit awkward because they're not really my group of friends, so I had to keep making small talk...ahh well it was good to see some more people! I went shopping for a bit then had to go DofE food shopping which just wore me out to be honest!

So that leads me nicely on to my last point- I won't be posting for a bit because I have my silver Duke of Edinburgh expedition over the weekend. I'm actually dreading it, we're wallking for 3 days and camping for 3nights in Exmoor. It better not rain! I'm back on Monday so I'll post some pictures if we get any good'uns :)

I hope you're all ok, thanks for reading!

T4 Sur la Plage

I'm so excited! It's just over 2weeks until I go to camping with my friends. We're staying for 3 nights and going to T4 on the beach on the Sunday...I dunno what we're gonna do for the other days, apparently Weston-super-mare isn't the most exciting of places! Haha I'm sure we'll find something!

The line up is really good, I'll admit most of the artists aren't really my sort of music but it will still be amazing! And there are a few little gems in there who I actually cannot wait for :D I don't know how may artists there are going to be in total, but they keep adding to the line-up, here it is:

Iyaz
Kids in Glass Houses
The Hoosiers
Example
Plan B
Dizzee Rascal
Basshunter
One Night Only
The Saturdays
Taio Cruz
Professor Green
Diana Vickers
Pixie Lott
Ellie Goulding
Chipmunk
Scouting for Girls
Alexandra Burke
JLS
N-Dubz
Tinie Tempah
Jason Derulo

So yes, I am VERY excited! It'll be so fun camping as well, we can just relax and not worry about anything, we haven't really planned much, I think we'll just live off biscuits and many trips to the chip shop :) Are any of you guys going? You never know we might be staying a the same campsite, that would be funny...

Thanks for reading, I hope you have sunny weather like us :D xxx
