Ok so looking at the last post and realized that it was posted just before my hectic weekend last week! So had Harry Potter day at work - I was in from 7.30 - which of course was fun - for those nice eager HP people (the ones that weren't quite crazy enough to be one of the 200 that queued at midnight!)... but I actually had a really fun day - I got paid to wear a witches hat and play with balloons and magic tricks for a whole day! lol I'm just big kid really!!! And then was REM in the evening - was very good!!! Got to the gig half way though Feeder (missed the two earlier support acts Jonathan rice and Idlewild - the zutons couldn't do the rescheduled date). We managed to get slightly lost in Hyde Park... you'd have thought that such a big gig you could hear the music for ages around - turns out you can't really - and trees do a very good job of both obscuring sound and vision... lol basically we managed to walk all the way from Lancaster gate to Knightsbridge (saw the royal opera house and realized we *might* be in the wrong place lol) but we had a lot of fun - we got basically as close as we could without paying £65 for golden circle tickets! - And while I'm on the subject I'm sure the golden circle has got a LOT bigger... I've been to a couple of gigs in Hyde Park before (*coughs* PITP... embarrassed blush*) andIi swear we got much closer without being that close to the golden circle! and of course I worked on the sun as well which was much quieter than the previous day!
So this week... urm... I've been shopping a couple of time - on tue went to Oxford St... finally got a pair of aviator sunglasses, and a really cool new hat :) and got a camera... but I'm taking it back because its not good enough! lol... and drove to brent cross with Jo and Lu on thurs... which was fun... apart the drive home - I got stuck in such fun traffic on the North Circular... hmm... and the worst thing was that I know that I could have come off at the junction before the traffic began hmm...
Oh and also was V.mature and went to see Madagascar... And it was really funny... The penguins were amazing... I love kids films...Talkingg about kids and funny I went to see my sisters leaving play (can't believe that she moving into secondary school!)... and it was hilarious - she was really good but the best scene was these yr 6 kids pretending to be reception kids in a nativity scene and I was really laughing my head off... I really didn't think it would be soo funny!
So that's about it for now! - I should be going to Italy on thurs with naz and jo which will just be so much fun!!!

Finished Exams!!!!! yey.... bit late celebrating on here considering I've been finished 2 weeks tomorrow... ooops? so what have i been doing in my now blissfully free of work and revision time? well actually not all that much... :-S truthfully the first week i was off was a whirlwind, then last week I hardly did anything! I had my last exam (chem synoptic) on tue 28th in the morn and it surprisingly wasn't too bad (i say that now but just wait till the results come out)... then went to starbucks for coffee and cake (and just so you all know starbucks do really good carrot cake lol) then in the evening we went out clubbing... had such a good time... we went to the Roxy Bar at the top of oxford st and it was funny because half the people there were from woodhouse! they play really good music and the drinks aren't too expensive! we left when it closed (3.00) and got a night bus (which stops at the end of my road which is great) and got home about 4. Which was weird because it was already light and the birds were waking up (argh)... also funny (in only the knid of "looking back on it now" kinda funny) was that I'd been awake for at least 22 hours that day - which was never really thought about before... The next day had to go into college to give textbooks back in, collect yearbook etc. We were meant to be in between 2 and 4... and i got there at 3.58... which gave me lots of time. lol it was the buses fault (in the sense that i didn't get it as early as i should...)... i didn't drive because i thought that we were all going to the pub like the last day before the exams... and we did... for about 1/2 hr... there wern't that many people there and a lot of my group still had an exam the day after... Then thursday college people were going to roller disco, and county people were kinda meant to be going as well... but county lot and me decided that we didn't want to go (i'd already been out that week and it cost £10 to get in and i was feeling cheep...) so we stayed at the pub and had a *bit* to drink (lets put it in simple maths... we went through at least 8 pitchers between 7 people... and some people had up to 8 shots(mixing tequila and sambuka) and there was chamagne around.... lol) we left when they closed... we had such a good time, such a good laugh!
I think i stayed in on the fri, and went back to the pub on the sat night... worked both sat and sun, as i did this week. Tiring! on sat did a big clearup of the downstairs till... in prep for HP6 next week... not doing the midnight opening because the rota changed :( but its worked out well because i'm doing a 7.30-4 shift which means that i can go the the REM gig in hyde park!!!!! yey love REM.
Today had a big picnic in the park for sasha's bday. It was a kinda surprise (as is she thought only a few people were going but there were about 20 of us) . had such a good time.... just being really imature... played stuck in the mud, duck duck goose, played in the playground (made some friends with some little kids... who were propably more mature than us) and ate SO much - and most of it was junk lol so hot though and i think i have mild heat stroke (not that thats stopped me from writing an absolute essay here.... lol)
so thats me at the moment... just having a relaxing few days before it goes wild at the weekend with HP6, REM and working sun as well!!!
God bless all those who lost their lives in the bombings last thurs, and all those who survived. I hope that justice is served to those cowards who took so many innocent lives. London will remain strong.
