Honk if you're going to Momentum!!

Would love to put that in the back window of my car... :-)

I'm pretty much all packed and ready. We set off (or are optimistically aiming for) 8.30am!

See you on Sept 1st!

Excuse Me...Where Did August Go?

Hello.

Can you help me? I'm looking for the rest of August, as I seem to have missed it...

Since I don't want to look for it now, I'll give you a run-down of all that hath occurred since my last blog.

1. Hooray! My phone is working. Lord only knows why it wasn't working or why it is now, but it is, so cooooolio.

2. I've finally seen HP6 and it was awesome. I went with my Mum and we had an Orange Wednesday, took a bag of popcorn with us and enjoyed! Serious underestimation of the need for popcorn though, we had one bag between us and had almost finished it by 10mins in to the actual film.
Not sure what it is about the flicks that makes you obsessively eat popcorn... :-)

3. Momentum is actually 3 days away and I'm soooooooooo not ready - my mind is all over the place! Half a dozen things have been started, but not finished.
What've I done...? Today I washed and polished the car in preparation for its long journey West. The camping chair and table, tent, groundsheets, rugs, sleeping bag, airbed + pump and cool little chair for using in the meetings are in the car.
Last week I put up my tent for a bit of airing and just to make sure it was all ok. The dogs decided to help...








We've started the shopping list, packing list etc too.
Must get more organised. Must get more organised. Must get more organised.

No news on the job or life fronts yet though.

So the plan of action is thus:

20th and 21st - WORK

22nd - Travel to Momentum

MOMENTUM

27th - Leave Momentum for Soton

CHILL OUT IN SOTON

29th - Emma and James' Wedding @ ABC

30th - Travel home

31st - WORK!

1st September (Ooh a new month!) Sleep. :-)

But I can look forward to, on the 12th, travelling to New Malden to go to Sarah's Birthday/Getting out of hospital Party. Now to think of what to get her... Tis rather exciting too!

Waiting Patiently

Hello everybody, I've called this entry "Waiting Patiently" as it seemed appropriate. So, what am I waiting patiently for? I'll make a list for you:

1. My phone to actually be working again. A certain person - who shall remain nameless - has suggested that I have a detrimental effect on every phone I touch, but I beg to differ! It's definately the phone's fault!!

2. To see the new Harry Potter film 'Half Blood Prince' at the cinema. I wanted to go on Orange Wednesdays to make it cheaper, but I haven't had my Orange sim card yet. Mega :-(

3. Momentum! Travelling day is the 22nd August and I'm not ready in the slightest, so I'm gonna have to get my act together and make my little lists and organise my dear chum Tom. Then we can head of to Somerset for what is the most amazing week of the summer!

4. A job. Needless to say job-hunting in Hastings is like banging your head repeatly against a brick wall. There are a couple of vacancies advertised that I'll go for and really, really pray that they work out because I need some money extremely soon.
Meanwhile, the JobCentre are trying to Shanghai me in to a rubbish job at Sainsburys as an 'intermediary'. No thank you very much.

5. A life. When I say that, what I mean is; when I have a job, I'll have money, can actually do things for myself, maybe even get my own place and put lots of lovely things in it etc and just generally be an independant young woman!!
How exciting!

For now, I'll leave you there. The next venture into bloggage will be, perhaps, before I embark for the wilds of Somerset and, if not, will definately be after I've returned.
