Hey,
Well i have a few things to report to you.I now have a new job at a bar called Bumper,which i absolutely adore.It's a really chilled out place and everybody gets along and it's a bit like a family which reminded me of my time at Yacht and Beach in Disney with my little marina family,who i miss more than i could say.
I started back to uni and got a total surprise with how amazing my timetable is so that was good and my student loan went in as well so that helped me out in reducing my debt which,might i add, i have now reduced by half,from saving up my tips and wages and a bit of my student loan and also just scrimping and saving as much as humanly possible :D
So all is going well.Have been talking on SKYPE,the most ingenious invention ever,to Jen and Luke which is awesome.Spoke to James as well,who never fails to make me smile.So really,life is good right now.It appears things have taken a turn for the better and i am enjoying life again :)
I am also gonna do my research and get a new project to aim for travelwise next summer and once i have cleared my debts, i am gonna start saving up for that :D Good times!!So things really are fandabbiedose right now.
Not really got much else to say but felt the need to express how happy i am feeling right now :)
Love xxx

Leaks,Bugs and Love.
September 10th 2008:
Ok.Well i have tons of things to say so i thought it was about time to blog again.
I have had possibly the worst few days ever just recently!!
I moved into a flat that we found in Liverpool,all ready for Year 2!!! It was totally perfect when we visited as well, and i was mega mega excited!!It was right next to the students union and our uni builing and everything :)
HOIWEVER...the time comes for us to move in,and we're still mega excited.BUT then we get there and it was a total train wreck disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firstly,there were leaks in the ceiling with water coming through so that the entire living room smelt like damp which believe me is totally disgusting!And not to mention there was a BUCKET to catch all the water that was seeping through and dripping onto the floor!!! The walls and ceiling which used to be beautiful white were now brown because of the leak!!! And it was all through the living room,into my room and in Laurens room.And oh yeah, did i mention that Lauren has asthma and therefore cannot be anywhere near conditions like these is she wishes to survive!!!!!
Then there was bugs in the kitchen because evidently they liked the warm and damp conditions,so me and Lauren had to become expert woodlice and beetle killers in a very short space of time!!!!Oh and there was a GIANT SPIDER in the one bedroom that me and Lauren had to share!Yes,you heard me,in our perfect two bed flat we had to share a mattress on the floor because the idiots who had been trying to fix the leak had stood on and broke the beds!!! So we were scared shitless sharing this mattress in a leaky and bug-ridden flat for our first night!!Which was not at all what we'd paid for!!!We were literally crying because it was so bad!!
So of course,me being me, i went into kick ass mode and headed off to the student welfare office armed with a camera full of photo's of the most disgusting place on earth!!!And the woman down there agreed that it was minging (gross)!
So then we had a huge drama trying to get this evil witch of an estate agent to let us out of our tenancy contract so we could go find somewhere else!And she was being a right evil moo,telling us that we'd never find anywhere now and that she could move us around until it was fixed.IS SHE CRAZY?!?! It's an important year,as if we wanna live in different flats and be moved around until she decides to sort out trampsville!!!!NO WAY LADY!!!
What she didn't know is that by some miracle,we had already found a really cute little place where me and Lauren can both have our own rooms and bathrooms,back in Liberty Park,our old place of residence :D So it seemed our luck was changing!!!
Sooooooooooooo long story and bad bits over,we managed to get out of the contract with the witch,by threatening her with environmental health and Lauren's asthma issues!! So then we had to stay in the hellhole (flat)for another night and move all our stuff all over again the next day!!!But now i can happily say that we are safe and sound in our new bug and leak free flat and smiling :)
I should also add that we managed to get back our £260 summer retainer fee because our apartment was that bad!!!
As i type i am sitting in my new flat and feeling much happier,safer and alot less stressed!!!Life is deffo busy busy busy right now,but i am glad that i can come out of it with a smile on my face :)
...Before i go, i should probably address the LOVE part of my blog title.The love has to be given to my bloody amazing friends!!Without them i would be nothing and i would certainly never have survived this crazy and horrible experience.
Claire and Maria,helped me move my stuff into hell and supported me when i discovered what i had let myself in for!!
Niki and Jono,were absolute stars and helped me get out of that place.Without them i never would have managed to escape :D
My Dad, who helps me through everything,whether its giving me money so i can pay off flats or buying me toiletries or giving me cuddles or talking to me on the phone and making me feel like things will be ok.I don't know what i would do without a DAD like mine,he is not only an amazing father, he's a friend who's always there,no matter what!!!I will never be able to thank him enough for everything he does for me.I love you Daddy x
I think that even though i had such a bad time of it, i am grateful because it has reminded me how blessed i am to have people like this in my life who will stand next to me and hold my hand when i am lost or worried and who support me and help me as much as they can and never ask for anything in return.Without these people my life just wouldn't be the same :D
So i send my sincere thanks and greatest love to those people who made hell turn into heaven, i wouldn't be anywhere without you xxx

Long time No speak....Or should i say type..
September 3rd 2008:
Ok,so i was sat down speaking to American friends on facebook when all of a sudden i realise that i hadn't blogged in ageeeeeeeeeees.I feel so bad!But really there isn't a great deal to report,however i still feel that i need to put in a bit of an update and at least some sort of effort!
So, i am doing a trillion times better now.I am adjusting back to life in England and all the rubbish rain we're having right now.It makes me so jealous to speak to some people who are still in the lovely glorious sunshine!I swear i should resort to sunbeds for my fix but i am slightly scared of the ccancer risk!!Dammit!
Anyway...i still miss everyone from Disney every single day and i think about people there alot and wonder what thy're doing now or how they are and whether they like the new people and what they're like.But i am starting to find it easier accepting that i need to be here and i need to get my degree finished and then i can look forward to being able to travel to a million different places and see all these amazing things! I guess i am focusing on the positives alot more now.
I had some prety fun times recently as well,which has made me smile much more.I went for a night on the tiles (went out clubbing) with my Mum!Which was possibly one of the funniest nights out i have ever had. I am lucky to be blessed with a mother who is fairly "down with the kids" and so we had a right giggle!Although i connot forgive the woman for dragging me into a hard core rock bar when we were both in summer dresses!!!!!!Think that was a drunken moment of randomness, i swear i thought they were gonna eat us alive,either that or slit our wrists so we looked less cheerful! But i actually had a really fun night with her.It was good to have some Mummy/Daughter time because we never really do that :)
Other things i can mention...
Erm...i am hopefully moving back up to Liverpool sometime within the next week so fingers crossed taht willa ll go well,althoughit snot looking like it at the moment due to difficulties with the flat but never mind,chin up and fingers crossed!!
Oh..how did i forget.I have to mention reuniting with an old friend of mine.He is a little angel and i dunno what i would do without him just recently!When i was feeling low he bought me flowers and sat and listened to me go on and on about how much i loved Disney and all my advenutes and sat through about ten million photo's and just was such a great person to have around when i felt like that.So i thank my lucky stars that i am blessed to have someone like him around in my life.
Thanks Matt xxx
Well thats me done for now, i promise i will try and update a bit more regularly in the future!
