Hi, im back
Sorry i have not left a blog forquite a while, i have not been well, it was just one thing after another, then it was the dentist who caused me a whole lot of unessecary pain.
Anyway im back and im stil alive!!!
Gotta get one thing off my chest! I had a presentation today of my volunteering i have been doing, and it went horribly wrong!
I froze and i shook and i got my words muddled up and i even missed out lots, so i have had a really bad day today!!
Other than that nothing really has happened to me while i have been absent from the board. My exciting life just don't get any more exciting.
I am however going to write 6000 words over the weekend well I'm going to try to, if i do or not is another story.
Must dash we need feeding!!

I have not wrote for a few days as i got some bad news on Friday, that a friend who i have made through a site i visit passed away that day. Even though we never got to meet and it was only a 'cyber friendship' she was a dear friend.
Never to moan about her illness and always putting the needs of others before her.
We are all going to miss her
This is for you Helen
May I go now? Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be.
So can I take the step beyond and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light.
I want to go, I really do. It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid, because I can see your tears.
I will not be far, I promise that, and hope you'll always know,
that my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me. You know I love you, too.
That's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one last time and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me, you'll let me go today.
Rest in Peace Helen, you are free from all your pain now xx

A joke to lighten the mood
HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DONT MOVE FAST ANYMORE.
George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.
George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said "no".
Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.
George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed.
Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."
Then he hung up. Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to George:
"I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"
This is a true story, which i think is great.
I thought it would fit into my blog appropariately as my essay as i am currently working on is 3000 words about the roles and functions of the police, and this just sums up my argument i have made.

Feeling Good...
Sorry i have not wrote for a while, just cant seem to grab the time these past couple of days.
I have started volunteering in my local Oxfam store. Its fab. Its part of my module i am doing at uni and i have to do a number of assessments for it, essay. presentation, diary etc etc. Its going quite well, even though i only started yesterday.
The best of it is its a book store one, its a huge shop with just books. My idea of heaven. Anyone who knows me will know i love books. This shop is what i expect heaven to look like. I got shown what to do with the books when they came in and what to do to them when they go out. Its a lot more technical than it seems. There were just stacks of the same book piled up like a proper bookstore.
I did resist the temptation to buy a book, even though i had my eye on Swallowing Grandma by Kate Long. I go back again on Friday as i am doing 2 mornings a week so maybe it will still be there.
Had a meeting with the other student reps today in uni, we are trying to organise a night out for the whole 3 years in our department as well as relaunch the Sociology Society. We have some great ideas, lots of goof fun stuff that will be a laugh. We just in the process of putting all the ideas and knowledge into practice.
We are going to have to start going around some of the bars here and asking them if we bring in xxx amount of students what do we get free. I think its the only way we are going to get the students to go. Because you have to join the society we are going to have to charge about £3 for each person to go. If we get freebies from each club/bar, this will make that £3 seem worthwhile.
We are also going to invest in a water gun's and bottles of alcohol (the child in us is coming out).... Good job i don't drink!!
Its going to be such a laugh.
Plus my seminar today got cancelled, which i was made up for as he is horrible, really picks on you, me and my friend who is older than me feel like we are back at school again, dreading going to the seminar.
Plus all my lectures and seminars are cancelled for tomorrow as the tutor is off sick. But i still have to go into the library to do a lot of reading.
Speak soon

The View
This is the view from the Top of the Arc De Triumphe looking towards the Eiffel Tower. 510 steps to the top and it was very high.
Very proud of the fact i got to the top and looked over!!!
Ouch toothache....
I'm suffering today really bad!!
I have wisdom teeth coming through at the back of my mouth which seems to be growing sideways. I know i need to go the dentist but i cant bring myself to go. I once had a bad reaction to anaesthetic when i was younger and that seems to the barrier which i cant over come as to bring myself to go soon over this tooth. Its causing me really bad headaches too. Suppose' once i dose myself up on painkillers it will dull some of the pain.
I watched The DaVinci Code last night for the first time, after reading the book and getting 3/4 of the way through and put it down only to never pick it back up. And i really enjoyed it. Plus the fact that only days ago i was actually in the place it was filmed made it all more appealing.
I really enjoyed it, throughout the film i was giving my boyfriend a running commentary of what was coming next from what i had read in the book,. I really must stop doing that, and let the people watch it for themselves. Found the ending a bit of a shock but my boyfriend said he seen it coming.
Started reading extracts from a friends manuscript she has written and i am hooked. Only read a snippet but it left me feeling i was missing out by not having the rest of it. She is an excellent writer and if you have not already checked out her work you best get your ass over there and see what your missing out on http://www.freewebs.com/awriter/.
Feel quite pleased with myself today regarding my exam results i got. I only got 52% but after talking to a few other people in my year i seen to (up to now) have the highest results for that module. That made me feel really good about myself.
I bought another Monkeh too from the PG Tips, i have a feeling i will just keep buying and buying until my house is over run with these small adorable creatures!!!
