Spent a lot of yesterday afternoon scrubbing the laundry room and the bathroom and general tidying. That was fun. Then I went round to see James' mum to sort out what bits to take on us jollies (a week on monday - yay!!) - such as plasters, mozzy insect repelant thingy that you plug in, cerial bars if we get peckish, washing up liquid, tea bags. So all the little extras really that Janet has collected over the years from their holidays.
Have got work later at 4 til 9. Am in with Sean tonight and tomorrow night, then am skiving work on saturday so me and James can go to meadowhall for last minute holiday shopping. Then am working sunday, although I'm not sure what shift.
Mum goes away for the weekend tomorrow with her gardening club to southport, so hopefully she'll have a good time there. Tomorrow afternoon, when James gets off work, we'll be off to Tesco's to get paper plates etc foir our do next saturday.
Were having an engagement party. I think weve invited faaaaaaaaaaaarrrr too many people but we've only invited close family and friends! And thats for both sides - my family and friends, and James'. Should be interesting. Tis at my house so it may be a bit crammed. Hopefully the weather will be decent for the bbq in the evening. If not, we'll all be stuck indoors and it'll be boring. Will be nice to be able to use the back garden.
Am going to post our letter of confirmation and deposit before I go to work - to book the church for 5th sept 2009 as our wedding date. Scary eh? Mind you, its 2 years away so that seems like forever. Apparently it will pass quickly. Both my mum and James have burst my bubble by saying 'oh you've got 2 years yet' and 'you can start getting excited next year'. Apparently I'm obsessing over weddings and over doing it. I'm allowed to get excited arent I? What else am I going to do? Its on my mind a lot and I want to feel good about it and look for ideas and prices and things. Maybe not.
Cant remember if I said in my last post but... my brothers girlfriend, Tonie, is pregnant! Found out the day after James and I came back from the lakes. Me and mum are not really sure how to take the news because Daniel is only 19 and she's 18 and they've only been together for about 9 months. So its a bit scary. Daniel did plan on moving to her house (she lives with her smoking, drinking mum and younger brother) in january (because the babies due in march) but then this morning he sprung a bit of news on me this morning - that she might be moving in here!!! Thats quite big news but apparently (I say that a lot!) 'its a better environment at our house' because Tonies mum smokes, and she likes a drink and they have a lot of pets. Lovely.
So there we go. Thats my bit of news. Not much else to report on. Have left it too late to put my tea in the oven because I'm going to work in half an hour! Doh!
See ya later.

I am now engaged, wooooooooo!! James popped the question whilst we were in the lakes last week. We went to a waterfall place near Ullswater on the tuesday, found a lovely little spot. James took some pictures of us. I took some pictures. Then he hugged me and me me that he loved me. I said I love you too, and he said good! Anbd he kissed me. Then he let go and he said he had something to ask me, I was thinking 'oh bugger!!" and he got down on one knee and I was like 'oh bloody bugger' lol. He said 'will you marry me?' and there was this long pause! Then I said 'ok!'. Hardly romantic like 'omg yes I will' type thing, just 'ok'! and he stood up and we hugged and kissed and it was brilliant. My body wouldnt let me cry! I felt like I should have been crying because it was just so amazing. We then carried on walking and talkinguntil we got back to his car. I also got to meet loads of his family whilst we were over there. We stayed at his grans house, who is really lovely! I also met two of his uncles' families - his aunties, and cousins, who were all really great and they took us out and we all went for a meal to celebrate our engagement. We went to look for a ring on monday and we've both ordered one in. Its gorgeous, tis a 18ct white gold ring with a diamond. Its gorrrrgeous! Cant wait to wear it. I have also bout James a platinum ring, but we've had to order that too and now Im scrimping and saving to be able to afford it! Were organising a family and friends get together on 25th aug, 2 days before we go away to turkey!
In other news, I've now broken up from college, have been for 2 1/2 weeks now. I just havent updated in so long. I'm still working weekends although I've got a lot of spare time on my hands where I could be working. I've got a few extra hours in the next few weeks but nothing loads. I'm just enjoying the time off at the mo. I've got a few books to read and things to do.
Its is Lee's birthday next wednesday. He would have been 25 so mum thought of having another get-together like we did last year, and let off some balloons.
Well I'm meant to be going to Tesco and picking up some grub for tea now, so am off to get ready. Think thats all I have to report.

At college this morning, a girl was playing that bloody umberella song by rihanna over and over again. I dont mind the song but I got very annoyed by her playing it over and over and over again. She has no respect for anyone else. Then others choose to sing it completely out of tune, its like 'arghhh stop bloody singing!!!'.
Thats my rant for today... for now.

Tis a lovely day outside and I'm stuck indoors. Boo. Just cant be bothered. Am working tonight. Just a mini shift really, 5-9pm and in with Charlotte so is not so bad.
Thats it really.

I havent had a good cry for ages, especially not to do with Lee, but I'm glad I got to today because it made me feel normal if that makes any sense? I added my own favourite memories too when I managed to calm down. I also lost my gran a few weeks back, which has also been a bit of a blow to the family, but I've not really felt anything so far. When she was in hospital, I went to see her with mum and I was in bits because she was in pain and could hardly move. At least I got to say goodbye and I told her I loved her - which is more than I can say about Lee's death last year. I want to be able to cry. But I cant.
Am working on my people skills at the moment. At college and work. I'm fed up with people calling me quiet so I'm trying to show a bit more personality and try and get rid of this stupid stereotype. I'm not quiet, everyone else is just so loud! People seem to think that just because you dont yak as much as some other people that you are quiet and so they dont bother talking to you. Its annoying.
Should at least do a bit of work now anyway for an hour perhaps. Mind you, tea will be ready in about an hour so we'll see. Then James is coming over. Ho hum.

James is working in York today with Ben as they have no staff left and the managers on holiday. Crazyness. He's working today and tomorrow and normally he'd just work fri (he worked in brid yesterday) and saturday. So he's working tomorrow in leui or however its spelt, or said fot that matter. I dont know!
Dads been up this morning so been sat in living room with him and mum just chatting about random stuff. Mum was talking about aunties and uncles and how they were at my grans funeral etc. She has such a massive family its unreal.
Am working tonight unfortauately with Estella. Working 5-10, which usually drags cos its been rather quiet, plus I'm working with the manager. Hmphhh.
Thats all I have to report on really. Got half term this week so it gives me time to do some work, and just get out and about I suppoose. Could do with getting some new clothes cos I just shoved half of mine in a charity bag cos they're too small for me!
Right. Onwards and upwards then....
