Millenium Bridge
took some of St Pancras station which I will also post.
Safe and Sound
Hello,
Sorry I didn't manage to post more while I was in London - it was soooooo busy!!!! I sat in Starbucks for only a few minutes but decided to move on because of how busy it was. Was there some big event that I didn't know about?
London was cool all the same though but I wish I had had someone to share it will - I didn't spend very much time at the Tate in the end because it was really busy and I couldn't concentrate - I tried listening to my iPod at the same time as looking at the paintings but I just wasn't there.
I walked along the river to the Globe - I was going to go on the guided tour thing but it was £9 which wouldn't have been too bad but it was a lot.
After that I walked back over the river and up to St Pauls Cathedral - I thought about taking a look round but decided that I wasn't in the mood for Cathedral-ness.
I went to try and get on the nearest tube so that I could get to Oxford Circus but I got myself in a muddle - I decided that if I had some lunch I might be able to thing straighter.
So I had my Big Breakfast Sandwich and Diet Coke while listening to some horrible dance music that was playing. I was the only person sat on their own rather than with people - I can see why people often feel lonely in London even though there are people around you. So I read my book and wrote a blog post polished off my sandwich and planned my route to the tube stop.
I walked to City Thameslink and found out that although it is on the map (the main road map rather than the tube map on the back) as a tube stop - you can't actually get the tube from there - you can get a Thameslink train back to Kings Cross but you can't get a tube anywhere else :(. So I walked to Monument or Embankment - don't really remember but it got me to Oxford Circus.
David had told me that if I got the tube to there and took the exit signposted Regent Street I would be able to see the Apple Store from the tube station door way. He said when I came out turn right and head to about number 230 and you should be there. WELL!!!!! I got to 197 Regent Street and realised that I should have turned left out of the tube station and not right! Thanks David!!! So I about faced and walked down to the tube station again. When I got there I turned to my left looked down Regent Street and could see the front of the Apple Store - it's the only building in that particular stretch with big windows. The windows are like from the floor to the ceiling of the ground level.
The shop is cool - it's open planed with all the counters having display products on top and then storage or shelving underneath - iPod/iPhone accessories were all under the desk that had the iPod/iPhone display models on top. I was going to play with the mac laptops but the store was kinda busy. When you go into the store they have a "Welcomer" who's job it is to stand there and direct you round the store - so he says Hello and I ask him where the iPhone accessories are and he points in the general direction - obviously he needs to hover at his post so he can help the next person - and off I went and found them. The staff were really helpful - which was cool.
Wow this is an essay! Sorry! Trying to make it as detailed as possible so you feel like you were on my shoulder or in my pocket enjoying the day with me.
Then from there I went for a walk and went to Carnaby Street - I love it it's full of surfing and skater shops which is cool. There is also a David and Goliath store (You know the phrase "Boys are Stupid Throw rocks at them") well there is a whole store based around their slogans and characters.
I then went looking for a bead shop that Mum found when we went to London for her birthday. It was really cool and I could have spent soo much money in there - NOT GOOD! lol
Anyhoo I headed to starbucks for a drink of some description then decided I was tired and needed to get home before I keeled over somewhere in a corner - I found my way to the nearest tube and hopped on back to St Pancras - I arrived at St Pancras at 3:40 and the next train to Bedford wasn't leaving till 4:10 - kinda annoying - I did have the option of getting on the Nottingham train and coming to see you but that left after the Bedford train and my ticket was only valid till Bedford lol.
On Wednesday afternoon I plotted with Andrew that I would go and surprise Laura - I think it made her day but she didn't really give much away - it was kinda weird - but we wont go into it here.
I had got her a bunch of Pink tulips and a bar of Galaxy - when a friend is in need presents work well so - whats more girlie than flowers and chocolates. We had a chat about various different things including would it be easier to celebrate my birthday in the Easter Holidays if you are down - obviously it's like 4 weeks before and you might come down for my birthday anyway but I thought it might make it easier if we did it then as you have the furthest to travel and you will be on holiday then - does that make sense?
Tomorrow I am off to Hatfield to be bossed about by lots of Animation students hehe - David, Hennin and the other guys and girls in his group are using me as their starring actress or something like that! lol. So I have to look Cyber punk - what ever that is hehe - I am ok to wear bright colours as long as it's not blue - and there is not too much colour - think goth but more futuristic or something like that.
Chris is seriously tired after his road trip - I will need like two weeks notice if you are going to arrive - the living room is a bomb site as I have done like no tidying since you were down for half term - I've done lots of clothes washing however.
I need to redo my nails before Monday - is metallic green appropriate for my first day or should I go with Pink? - I don't really want to as it's baby pink because thats not really me it's my I can do grown up and serious nail varnish. or something like that. hehe I have the option of purple instead?!??!

Lunch
hello
So now I'm in Pret a manger eating some lunch - not a normal haunt cos it tends to ne expensive but it's either this sushi or a gourmet burger. It's 13.10 sh in a few minutes I'm heading up to St Pauls tube stop to catch the tube to Oxford Circus to go to the apple store and get a case for my phone before I seriously scratch it or something. How you doing? I'm sorry if I am boring you -a day out like this isn't fun on your own - chris has had a change of plan and couldn't come.

My Adventure
So this is slightly scary lol. I'm nearly 22 and I am taking a train trip on my own. I am on the train to London blogging from my iPhone - yes I spent my hard earned pennies on one. Have a temp no so I can text from it and stuff until my number changes over tomorrow or Saturday - if it's not changed by then i'm going to call o2 and kick up a small fuss.
You know you have that bang when a train goes past - I just jumped out of my skin!!!!!
Just going past stewartby brick works now. I'm going to read for a little while.

Things CAN get worse!!!!!!!!
Ok after last week and the weekend i was feeling pretty pants. i went to bed at a decent time and got up mega early today coz of ofstead. Mum looked terrible, said she felt sick and then started retching. She was adamant to go to school so i listened and said she shouldnt but i took her anyway. She was retching in the car too and half way to school the phone rang to say the house alarm was going off so i turned round and came back. made sure everything was ok (which it was) and grabbed a bucket for mum.
We finally got to school (still in good time). Mum just got worse and ended up being sick at school so i was asked to take her home. she was so poorly on the way home i nearly cried. Anyways i made sure she was as good as poss before having to dash out (by this point i was late). Got to school in record time (hope there were no police cameras about) and then had to load the mini bus with kids to go to a mainstream nursery *which we do every week*... mum has food poisoning from a dodgy batch of scampi!
This afternoon has been ok though. Back at school we had the inspection which went ok me thinks... will find out tomorrow!
Danielle has come off ventilator today so hopefully this time she will last for more than 48 hours on her own!!!!!!
STILL SAY PRAYERS THOUGH PLZ
It's Pauls funeral tomorrow. We cant go coz of ofstead so we're having a moment of quiet at 11.00 (when his funeral takes place) throughout the school.
I'm meant to be in a medal ceremony tomorrow for the police but i dont think i will go, it's the ofstead debreif and pauls mum has invited us to her house, it's the post ofstead night out and i have a v poorly mum! so i think they will have to manage without me!
I wish i had the time off to go to london etc with you i just need a break from all this poop!
Love as always.

SQUISH HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is seriously rude!!! There is no excuse for cheating on someone - whether you are just girlfriend and boyfriend or married. If you don't want to be with someone at least have the respect to call it quits before going off with someone else. RAHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Ok I have never met Tim but with you being like my sister that makes him like a brother of sorts (does that make sense without sounding weird?!?!) and that makes me annoyed that he has been hurt by her thats soooooo mean!!!
Did you get Laura's text earlier? I phoned her quickly just after getting her message to let her know that I have the week off between jobs and that she is welcome any time if she needs to just get away and have a breather because from what she said on the phone her Mum and Dad are seriously gutted - as you would be. Her Dad is doing the practical bits. Her grandad was up in Tyne and Wear with Laura's Great Uncle. So if they are to abide with his wishes they have to get his body transported back to Buckden which is causing a huge amount of stress. I said would it be possible to have a service and have him cremated up there so that they can abide by that part of his wishes then have a memorial service in Buckden and the sprinkling of his ashes as by his request. Laura agreed with that - that it would be good because then that way they would be abiding with his wishes. Anyhoo she knows that my door is open and that she is welcome any time.
I'm going to send an email round the cell group about praying for Danielle.
So my plans for this week. Tomorrow morning I am going to Karen's to hang out and play with her new toy. Then she has a meeting at 12 so I am going to hang out at home or play with Abi. We are then going to go to Jaffa for lunch after the meeting. I am then babysitting for Kerry's Mum. Kerry's half siblings are in year 4 and 6 i think or maybe a little older - well young enough that they need a babysitter lol.
Then on Tuesday I had planned to go to London and go to Tate Modern and maybe wander down Oxford Street - My challenge ages ago was to go to London on the train on my own so that I wasn't scared of doing the train or the tube on my own. So it's finally happening on Tuesday. Then in the evening me and Caroline are having a DVD fest - we might watch Stardust if I go and purchase it - well then again I might get to the DVD shelf and find a different one lol.
Erm Wednesday so far is going to Carolines at about 3ish then going with her to get Joel. Then me and Chris are invited to tea before going to cell group which is seriously cool.
Thursday and Friday are just going to be normal days but Laura could show at any point so the week might go whoosh and change!
I am now inflicting Julie Delpy and Adam Goldberg on Chris and FINALLY watching 2 Days In Paris - I can't help it I love continental films. My favourite all time film would probably be Amelie which is completely in French and I love than Italian for Beginners film even though it's in Dutch and Italian. I am officially a geek hehe. (Just trying to find a geeky t-shirt image to put in here but my internet has conked out but Chris is OK.) I tried finding a geek t-shirt then I found this one - very Evolution. I'd probably have it printed on the back rather than the front and maybe black rather white - Man I am so picky lol. Then I would seriously look like a geek.
