RIP Grandma and Christmas
Hi all,
Well it's been a while since I last posted. We finally have the internet at home so hopefully I can update more regularly, although I'm growing old of 20six's blogs. It seems that no company can read blogs off here, so I can't make my blog into a book without copying and pasting each and every post. I spent about 2 hours doing this the other night, to then realise I'd only got past the 1st 3 months of blogs.... How realistic its going to be to actually get it done is a definate mystry. If anyone knows a company that can make this blog into a book, please let me know!
Well my Grandma passed away 18th of December. She's been very ill for a long time and had dementia, so at least shes now in peace somewhere.
Its been hard, I wasn't able to attend her funeral as I had to work and it was over 300 miles away and I feel utter shit about it.
On a lighter note, christmas was odd, but good. I didnt' go to Wales as normal, me and Josh just spent it together. We went to my nan and uncles on xmas day which was nice and then we went to Josh's mum and dads for boxing day.
Its so odd that only when you look at someone elses family do you realise how actually unsupportive and judgmental the people in your own are.
Its kinda sad.
Anyway, i'm off.
I shall post again soon!

Life and all its twists and turns
Hey all,
Well I've had a fab 22nd birthday weekend.
Friday, my actual birthday, was very cosey. He got me the best cupcake cake ever, and a great little asbo fairy tale book and yummy choccys  Visited my nan and uncle and got £30 off them
Saturday we did pretty much nothing all day until the evening where we went out with Tom and Kate to Eddies. It was seriously one of the best nights i've had out. I'm so glad we all went Kate got me the most gorgeous necklace ever aswell so I'm gonna be wearing that all the time!
Yesterday we generally curled up in a ball for 12 hours and recovered from saturday. We are really getting to old for these late nights! Hah
And today we've visited Chelle because its her birthday.
Happy Birthday Chelle!!
and we went to the german market where I got a few bits of clothes, a new bra, and some donuts and nuts <3 nomnom.
I really do feel so lucky to of met Josh and have such amazing friends.
I've just read something that seems to ring so true..
"As we grow up, we learn that the people that weren't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken & you'll break others hearts. You'll blame a new love for things an old love did. You'll fight with your best friend, you'll cry because time is flying by, & eventually you'll lose somebody you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely & love like you've never been hurt. Because every second you spend angry or upset, is a second of happiness you can never get back."
Makes me seriously eat humble pie.
I've had so many 'friends'... but in truth, where are they now? The people standing at my side when I feel my worst, act my worst, and look my worst, are the ones who are worth treating like angels, because in truth, to put up with me you would have to be something heaven sent!
But now, at 22, I feel totally and utterly settled, complete, and ready for the next phase of my life.
I'm going to turn my blog into a book shortly, so if anyone would like a copy please just get in touch!
I reckon i'll make this one into a blog then start a new blog !
Anyway! time to go!
Tootle all

Its my birthday!!! 22 Years Old!
Hi all,
Well as it's my birthday today and I have FINALLY got the internet set up at home, I thought it would be worth a quick blog!!
22 years old eh? Who would of thought I would of made it to this grey age!!
All of a sudden I understand when 'oldies' say 'ooo what I would give to be 21 again' lol
With age comes maturity right? Wrong xD
Anyway it's been a good day so far!! Got a cupcake birthday cake off Josh which is gorgeous, a book of funny fairytales (its freakin' awesome!!) and a box of mini cupcakes (as you can see, the diet is going really well!)
Josh is now cooking steak sandwiches for breakfast and then were off to my nans to collect birthday monies... and of course visit xD
AND I have a whole day off work! Yippy!
All in all, life is good!
Tootle!

Life as it was always meant to be....
Hey all!
Well its been a while since I updated, so I thought you all needed a quick update!
Basically everythings going really well. Works ok, secure at least. Although I really need to start considering my financial future and if I have one here. No hints of pay rises so no hints of promotion... hmm...
Everything with Josh is going really well. We have been together a year this month. He really has changed my life so much but all for the better. I'm really commited to him, and I met all his family last weekend which went so well
Moneys getting more and more secure all the time. End of this month Josh will be getting paid monthly so we'll have lots more cash which will allow us to have an awesome christmas.
What I'm doing for christmas, I just don't know. For the last 6 years I've gone to Wales to see my dad and my sister, but my sister has turned into a money grabbing brat and has stated she will 'pop over for half an hour' on xmas day to collect her presents and then leave (all because I would fork out £1400 for her to move house).
Me and Josh have said we will be spending xmas evening in together alone and were getting a xmas tree, so I'm going to try and sort stuff around that.
Other than that, all is well. The Fiat Punto's doing well too
Anyway I'm off!
Tootle!

7 Years - 12589 Visitors - 1166 Blog entries
Hey all.
As I'm on my lunch at the office I thought you all deserved a bit of an update. Just looking over some statistics and I've had 12589 visitors to this blog. Isn't it odd how I've probably not even met 12589 people yet they have managed to read a little bit about my life.
Well what new over here? Lets do it by breaking it down - shimples.
Love Life
Well all is going really well with Josh. We will of been together a year in October and living together for a year in December. Feel so happy to of finally found a man who is worth making that extra bit of effort for and making me want to be a better person. Its not even hard living with him, it just all works. Recently heard about one of my old friends divorcing her 3rd husband (she's 24....). Can't help but wonder why you would commit like that to somebody not just once or twice, but three times, for it to fail so miserably. Surely you would walk away when it doesnt work or at a minimum learn from jumping in head first. Odd.
Friends
Well Chelle's due to have her 2nd child soon. Its all very exciting. I wouldn't say I'm becoming maternal yet but its definately a thought for the future. I just can't wait to be able to help her out a bit and allow her to have a bit of a break where I can look after the baby for her. I really hope she uses me as a bit of support because I want to be support! Although if it poo's it gets passed back. I won't have the pleasure of telling them off when their naughty so I'm not having the displeasure of cleaning turd!
I haven't seen Kate in a while. We don't see each other as much anymore since she met Spike and I met Josh. I think its down to us not going out on the 'pull' now, but I still really miss her. Hopefully we'll get to go out a night next week
Pets
Coopers fine, still humping everything. He absolutely adores Josh! I don't think I've ever seen him take to somebody so well!
Car
Now I have a little Fiat Punto, its really all going fine. No big issues with it and I finally (after a year of waiting!) have my own little run around.
Career
Well what can I even say about this? It's not what I dreamt of, its nothing I wanted to be, but it pays the bills. Eventually I'll be in a situation to go and do what I want to do, but not yet. Hopefully Josh will get a better paid job which hopefully will allow me to study, but how long that will take I just don't know. Humm...
Fitness/Weight Loss
Ok so I've joined the gym by me. All seemed to be going well, that is until I stepped on the scales...... Demotivation central. How can somebody go to the gym near on every day AND eat really well AND still not lose any weight. I'm reaching the point where I'll start chopping off a toe everytime I go for a weigh in so at least it'll show a minor loss of weight. Oh well, keep going!
And thats about it! Generally I'm happy with the occasional mood swing, but hey, I'm still 21 right? Puberty's only just leaving my hormones.
Me and my spots shall be over here.
Tootle!

New Car take 2
So....
After the excitement of the Peugeot 206, it turned out to be a dud car, and has resulted in me selling and buying a different one! I'm not the owner of a lovely Fiat Punto that is rather spiffing!
In other news: Decided to rip up the carpet and found lovely tiles underneath so the flat no longer smells! yippy!
Hopefully going to go up to Josh's mums tomorrow too
Everythings going so well with Josh. Can't believe how lucky I am! We went to a Comedy show up Broad St last night which was so good. Nice cheap deal on Living Social!
On that note I'm being anti-social at Chelles so I will post again soon!
Tootle pip!

I'm here to be your only door between. oh you know . its only everywhere
Hiya all...
Well just thought I should post a little. Just looking over the archives on here. Its been running since 2004. 7 years. 7 YEARS. Jesus.
I read back and I am sincerely amazed at some of the things I did. Hopefully once I've got the internet put in and a laptop at home I will finally be able to make into a book to keep in my memory box. I always said I would stop this at 21. In fact I was adamant, but here I am! I think my book will stop at my 21st Birthday though. A significant meaning to my 'teenage years' will mean it will have too.... Oh well... something to do I suppose!
