What an evening!

finished work today and got into wadebridge for about 3 to see some mates in the pub to watch the football. i am not much of a football person, but a lot of my friends are, so i stayed and watched it, until Ali said that he music in his car wasn't working, so i jumped at the chance of getting out, so i went to go see what was wrong with it,. he told me that Ross had been working on it, to connect up his amp and sub, but ever since the head unit hadn't worked. after taking the head unit out and looking at the cables behind, i couldn't believe what Ross had done, most of the cables he had ripped and then put duck tape on them to put them back together. i went through and tested all of the cables to make sure that they were still connected, and wired in correctly, but it still didn't work. the only thing i could think of was if he had unearthed the head unit, and started playing with the power and maybe put to much current through to the until, and blew it. after spending between half hour to an hour working on it, Ali told me to not worry about it, because he would just have to go and get another unit. i stayed at Joe's for a bit longer to have tea, because i was going to go out that evening, but he saw a car he wanted to go and look at, which was up at Saltash, and he pleaded with me to go and see it, so i gave in, and we drove up and had a look at the punto, which turned out to be quite nice, had a bit of mileage on it, but other than that was in quite good condition. so they shook hands on it, and it was joe's for £410, which we have to go up on saturday to pick it up. unfortunally i wasn't able to get back in time for church that evening, infact we didnt leave Saltash until 8. but we had a fun evening out, which we don't often go out for little drives like we all use to, because i can't afford the petrol, but when we do go out, it is always a good trip out.

mini

went out this evening over to st austell to have a look at a rover mini city 1000, it looked really good in the pictures and from what i heard of it, and he only wanted £850 for it, but when i got over there it was covered in rust, had holes in the side of it, big enough to put your fingers through, had a flat rear tyre, and he still wanted all the money for it :( ahwell will just have to keep looking lol

Car

Ive been doing alot of thinking about this, and i think i am going to put it all back to standard and sell it, it costs too much to look after and run. people have been suggesting other cars which i could look at, like a ford capri, or an astra, but today my mate suggested a mini, even tho he knows how i feel about them, and that i haven't sat in one since last june, when Stefan had his. but the more ive been thinking about it, the more i think it might be a good idea, i did love the way they drive, the way they look, i am going to go and possibly have a drive in one tomorrow, and see if i can get back into them, because i know Stefan would love it if i were to have one, because they were his baby!

if i were to get one, either an austin mini, or a rover mini, with the 1300cc turbo engine, in either black or dark blue. the more and more i am thinking about it, the more and more i think its meant to be, i just don't think my parents would let me, but we will see, after all it is my money, and i think i would love one, so will just wait and see....

Half Term

i have had a very enjoyable half term, even tho i spent most of it working, it was great fun! i spent the whole of monday working on my car, fitting my new bumper and grill, and painting other parts which i have got. tuesday i spent the morning in truro, trying to complete the outfit i was planning on wearing to a close friends 18th party. i spent hours in there looking in every shop, but couldnt find a jacket or top which i was after, i left truro and went to padstow and still was unsuccessful :( but had to give up, because i was in work that evening. lucky i had wednesday off, and went out all around cornwall trying to find something that i could use, but again was unsuccessful, so came home and looked online for fancy dress shops in cornwall but there was still nothing which i could use. thursday and friday i spent working so i couldnt go out to try and find anything, but in the evening i went into wadebridge to see my best mate, because it was his 18th birthday, and we went on down to the pub so i could buy him his first legal drink! he spent alot of the evening trying to convince me to come to his massive party on saturday night, where everyone would be there, and he was upset that i couldnt be there, but he understood why i had to do what i did, even tho he said bros before hos, but he knows how i feel, and it was because of that, he could forgive me for missing it, and thankfully he was happy for me. after i got home, i spoke to mum about what i want to wear to the party, and she knew of someone over st austell area who has a private fancy dress, so we phoned her up and she surprisingly had just what i was after, even tho it didnt have sleeves, but i could use it so i was :D afterwards me n mum went to asda, and just had a few hours out, having a catch up about everything. when we got home, i was running around making sure i was ready for the party that evening, i went and got my hair cut, got all the outfit together, found my mounting boots, gave them a quick clean, then headed over. even with the satnav it was hard to find, it took me to the right place, but i could not find her house lol had to stop and ask someone where it was, but they didnt know. eventually i found it, and spent about half an hour to an hour there, until we went on down to the party, which i was slightly worried because i didnt know many people that would be there, and i didnt want to get drunk incase i made a fool of myself. the party was great tho! i really enjoyed it, spent alot of time on the dance floor lol which i can imagine was quite funny for everyone else to watch! i was offered to do some shots, but i didnt want to get drunk and embarrass myself, so i passed on them. the cake which her nan made was amazing, i have never seen a more amazing cake! there was a few of us who went back to her house, which was great fun, we spent over an hour in the kitchen, all sat around the table just chatting. afterwards we went into the lounge and sat and watched mock the week, which was really funny! lol spent all of sunday at hers, which was funny, we sat and watched more mock the week, but over time people started to leave, in the end it was just her family and me. that evening we went to church, which was good, it was mostly about songs, and there was a pray tunnel, which i have never take part in before, but it was more straight forward then i thought. afterwards the person who was running it, asked if anyone else wanted private pray, i saw him look at me when he said it, and i did want to go over then and talk to him, but there are alot of things i carry on my shoulders which no one knows about, stuff i am, and have been afraid of talking to anyone about it, in case i scare them, or they dont understand, but he came over and said that he thought i wanted to go over there, but i didnt know how to say what i have to say. i told him parts of what is happening in my life, but i just scraped the surface, which i think he knew that i didnt tell him everything, but there has been things that have happened in my life that i dont think i can talk to anyone about, not my parents, not my best mates, but i mentioned Stefan, and how i still feel upset about it, and i do feel guilty that i am alive yet he isnt, it doesnt seem fair, if i could i would swap just to bring him back, just to see him again! i had to take a break, and stop talking, because i couldnt cope with it, which he seemed to understand, and didnt push me to say anything that i didnt want to talk about. his pray was helpful, it did help to be able to talk to someone about it, but i still carry loads on my shoulders. later on that evening, me and another girl was asked to sort out these books, because the rest of the group was talking about spring harvest, but whilst sorting out the books, i found one, and when i started reading it, it started to help, it started to make some sense. ive been allowed to borrow the book, which i am in the process of reading.

so all in all i have had a very eventful half term, but it was all good fun, and i really did enjoy it! :D

The Weekend

well in the end, it wasn't me and mates, they all decided that they were busy, or there parents wouldn't let them come or something like that, so i went up with dad. it took us just short of 4 hours each way which was very good, but we had to wait around in the service station for almost 2 hours for the guy to turn up to give me my harness which we weren't happy about! but it was an excuse to hang around and get some food, and put are feet up lol but after that we popped over into the center of Guilford, to find this other guys house, we had his address, but are satnav died, so was a lot harder, but we got there, and put the spoiler on the back seat and started the journey home. didnt help that i wasnt too sure on were i was going, n yet dad fell asleep for almost an hour, so i had to find my way out of Guilford to the M3, then try and find the A303, and he woke up just as we were going past Stonehenge. whilst we were on the way down, there was this golf R32 and an Audi A3 flying down past us, but dad was just like thats just silly, they were even overtaking when there was oncoming traffic! but it was good fun going up with dad, we had like a father and son sorta day, where we talking about nearly everything, college, friends, car, Stefan and other important things, which was nice, because normally we are too busy to just sit there and talk about stuff. we arrived home for about 7pm, and got a chinese in, which was nice. had a very busy valentines day, but no busy like it should, i had to work a split which was very busy and not very fun :( but im just glad i had my phone on me.

Road Trip!

Cant wait for saturday, we and a few mates are going up on a road trip to Guildford to pick up a spoiler, and popping over to Hoddesdon to pick up my sparco harness. it is going to be great, we will have such a laugh, even tho we are only going up and coming back in a day, and it will cost the world in petrol, you cannot beat a good old road trip with some great mates. we are planning on leaving cornwall for about 7-8 ish, and hopping on getting up there for about midday and get back home for 7-8 ish so all in all it should be one good day!

Uclan

had a really good weekend, popped up country to visit the University of Central Lancashire. i am planning on studying Motor Sports Engineering. we went up friday night, and stayed at a B&B. we had a tour around the university, looking at everything around. the presentation that was given was amazing, they informed us all about formula student which is were we would design, build and race the cars against other university. they also showed us about the engine testing room, the workshops where we would be able to work on the cars and learn about how they are all set up.

the trip home was worse tho, took forever to get home, most of the motorway was closed, or some lanes weren't open or the speed limit was dropped down to a max of 50mph, but still managed to get through it all, even tho we didnt get home until gone 2 in the morning, all ready for a split on sunday lol, but it was all still good fun
