That Friday Feeling

Every Friday for the past few weeks has actually been the best day of the week... smiles and good moods all round!

Every morning I'm greated by my Chauffer Steph...

"ITS FRRIIIDDDAAAYYY!!!"

Always cheerful.... In fact it's almost scary sometimes :P

To accompany this...I made a banner for her dashboard (with the help from scrap paper and two different colour Sharpies) saying "It's Friday!"

So the trip to work wouldn't be complete with the ultimate Friday feeling music. Chris Moyles has an awesomely cheesy Friday song, but we couldn't find a version to listen to on the way to work, so we have been attempting to come up with the Ultimate Friday Feeling Music CD to sing along to whilst driving down the M275/M27 to work.

So far we have -
- Africa, Toto
- All Star, Smash Mouth
- Build Me Up Buttercup, Someone

But we must strive to reach perfection dammit!!!!

Give me your Friday Feeling music suggestions... so the Ford Puma morning rave can continue!!!

Happy Happy Happy

I've had a pretty damn fine weekend so far.

Friday night I went out to have pudding and cocktails :) Then to the cinema :) After a week of not eating, Creme Brulee and a Shampagne cocktail was very much appreciated.

Saturday was a nice relaxing day... went out bought a dress for various formal events coming up (i know....wait...) some new clothes, a train ticket for my dash to Guildford on Tuesday and some new steel toe capped boots for my PTA assessment

 (there we go :P). The rest of the day was finally cleaning up my room, going food shopping and revising for my assessments.

Also made me smile when I left the house without a coat or jumper on and saw this...

Spring is upon us people! 

Sunday, the dreaded day...but I passed :D I am now Miss Ambulance Lady :D

Whilst I recover from Norovirus...

Ok, I haven't written anything for a while, but I haven't actually had 5 minutes to myself...but I've picked out the highlights!

Recently Blue Peter have been doing a Mission Nutrition campaign, which involves huge Bring and Buy sales all over the country. Being the little fundraisers we are, myself and the rest of the Southend Youth Symphonic Wind Band decided to have a stall, and sell penny sweets and stuff!

We also were asked if we could appear on the show, and play something! WOOOWWEEEE fame here we come!

So there we were, brand new orange t-shirts, Blue Peter badges pinned to our chests (well...to our t-shirts) all tuned and ready to go, when one guy in the production team comes out and says "sorry no time for you..."

The disappointment :(

But we stayed and played backstage instead, which seemed to drum up a lot of attention. 

Overall I think we raised about £70-80 for the cause, so it was definately worthwhile in the end.

Some of us even got on TV...

Haha...

Jake even got in on the action...

I think he was flirting....The saucy grab kit...

Anyway...

It was also Mark's birthday recently..Hoorrray!

To celebrate, we pottered up to London and had a private tour around Tower Bridge, which was all kinds of awesome! We had the nicest tour guide and the view from the bridge was amazing, it was such a clear night! Also went for a nice meal at Pizza Express near Tower Hill, who were very good, and postponed our meal until some more of Mark's friends turned up and also served mark the cake we bought for him :) Cheers guys.

Anyhoo...enough for now...must go practise being miss ambulance lady for my ambulance assessment on Sunday......

No Explanation Needed

Here is a list of topics that I really don't need to explain to you lot....but I just want to get them off my chest...

1) Snow and Rain...

2) Pompey FC on Saturday

3) Twitter...wtf?

4) Cadbury Adverts...

Pin Pricks

I ended up travelling to London briefly on Friday straight from work, and found myself on the 1635 train from Havant Rail Station.

I thought it was strange that stood next to be were two guys, both wearing pin striped suits, and both ended up in the same 6-seater section of the same busy carriage. 

Now

One of these guys was wearing a brown leather cowboy hat, which was rough round the edges shall I say. The other guy was much older, and carried with him a small black briefcase.

The guy with the cowboy hat also had a notebook and pen in his hand. He sat on the opposite side of the seats, and just stared at me. Then every now and then he would smile and write something. 

Now the other guy, the older guy, suddenly pulled out one of those cup-lid things from a thermos flask, so I thought he was pouring himself a mug of coffee or something.

No

He the pulled out the litre bottle of Smirmoff vodka he also had in this briefcase, and with my help, broke the seal, then poured himself a cup. He also spilled a fair amount on me too. By the time we got to waterloo he had actually downed the whole thing, and I was on drunk alert. 

Would have given me good recovery position practise for my first aid exam the following morning.

Anyway, we all stumbled off the train, and before I knew it I was back on the journey home.

Sitting opposite me on the four seater was, as predicted, a fairly attractive guy in a pinstripe suit. Then, his very attractive girlfriend came along. Bummer. They continued to be smug and perfect until the guard announced...

"Message for the guard, don't worry about that briefcase, its all just rubbish inside"

When the guy in the pinstripe decided he didn't like this information and started to as everyone if they had their belongings, and to find the owners of all the bags in the overhead baggage rack.

Ha...not so perfect now HUH....Her face closely resembled the red colour of the South West Train seat she was sunk into....

Some things are just difficult...

I've done some things that i've found very difficult recently... but this is very close to the top...

Ever tried to fit a mountain bike into a Ford Puma???

I'd never make a junkie...

Was my birthday....I'm now 21! Woop!

Opened some prezzies in the morning, ran to work, and pretty much sat at the computer all day and snacked on cakes, as most of my team were on a writing course all day! 

I got to leave work early though...to go and have my Hep B antibody test. Rather... an attempt to have my Hep B antibody test. After a number of attempts, and me passing out twice, they only had about 0.5mls of blood. I used up all their vacutainers, and apparently the phlebotomist has never seen anything like me before, deepest veins in 22 years of blood work! What an achievement.

So I stagger home, and find that my housemates have decorated the front of my house with happy birthday banners and balloons :D They also bought me a huge shiny badge and a cake with candles :D and some prezzies :D

So we went out for dinner at Las Iguanas and had cocktails and latin food :D

The return home saw me finally logging into facebook and being stunned by the 48 happy birthday messages. Thanks everyone :D

Today, I had a very productive day today...I bought a bike and booked a driving lesson. Ill be on the road in no time!!!
