Helloooooo my lovelies. Before we start please click on

http://bunny-utopia.myminicity.com/ .....because I'd like more bunny people.

Before I settle down to do even more work I thought I'd show you the house I'm going to look at tomorrow with my friend Hannah and her friend Lucy. Hannah and I have mused over the idea of living together, plus Richard next year and have finally decieded to go for it. I'm supposed to take some pictures and show them to Richard on Friday. I just hope a) the landlord doesn't mind the fact he's not a student and b) that we make it back for the practical at 2! We're meeting the landlord at one so hopefully it won't take too long. Cross your fingers.
Neways this is the place;

Wish us luck folks!

Kicking dust in the canyon wind

Hellooo folks, have we all had good weekends?

The last few days of my life have been rather eventful. Not major events, just minor ones that add to life rich tapestry. The first is I'm moving departments at work, from frozen to the deli, (or as it's more correctly know "Counters"). I will also have hours there every Saturday unless I contact Matt and let him know well in advance. Counters is easier work, no heavy comps, but is occasionally frantic. It also means I'm closer to Richard, as Provisions is adjacent to Counters. Am I going to spend my shifts oogling him? Probably. :)

Tomorrow I start my next set of modules, and I'm rather tired. Rather than get a reading week us science students, (like many others I suspect), must work on. A 10 week term is exhausting, after 5 mad weeks I could go for a week off to rest myself. I seem to be feeling rather lethargic far too often. Given I'm eating well my only other thought it to try and make it to bed earlier. Not that I was going very late anyway but you never know, it might help.

Missing Richard alot tonight. Since Wednesday I've seen him every day, so to not have him here and know that it'll be Friday before I'm with him is tough. Busy I shall be keeping. We had a lovely Valentines Day together, maostly spent lounging around and relishing each others company. We chatted a little more about future plans, about our wedding and thing. I'm odd, most teenage girls who are hopeless romantics have already planned their weddings but for me it's always been about finding that one guy who is meant for us. So the actual wedding seems less important. We''d both prefer to spend more on our honeymoon and go to Australia, especially as we'd like to emigrate there.
I also finnaly asked Richard what his thoughts on being a stay at home dad were. In our current situation it's likely I'd be the primary breadwinner, which I don't mind in the least but once we start a family, in several years time, money would be an issue if I weren't working. Richards brother looks after the family rather than work, and Richard admitted he'd love it, but only if I were happy to not be the homemaker. While this is all aaaaaaaaages away it's good to know I have the option to have a carreer as well as the family.

Eeeeeek it's 10.22 and I have a nine o'clock lecture! Night folks, it's Claire sleepytime. Thanks for listening to my ranblings :)

Helloooooooooo happy valentines day folks :) I got my special Richardbunny so I'm very happy :)
still good
My third and final exam was ok, not as good as the others but still good.
Neways that's all folks :)
Love you all xxxxxx

Yay!!!! Richard is on his way!!!! I hav to leave in a moment to get a bus to pick him up. I was going to surprise him and meet him in preston but there aren't any trains that get me there in the right time. *breif pause to evict wasp from room and shut window. Bloody insects. Anyhoo it's the thought that counts.

The exams I've had so far, I've been well prepared for both and they've gone better than I thought they would. The hardest one is tomorrow so I'm going to find moments today to cram. There is a huge amount of info for it, far too much, but it should be ok.

Right I'd better toodle off now, see you soon folks!

So how are we all? I'm thinking a quick blogg before I sit down to revise might help me relax. I'm more wound up about these end of module exams than any other this year, yet I'm far better prepared and actually doing more revision. I've been waking up and my brain immediatly starts revising. So the last couple of nights have been pretty lousy sleep wise. Exam number one is tomorrow, and it's the module I want to take next year so I need to pull my finger out. Luckily it's not till one so I can go to bed after Monster in Law (with more revision), reivise tomorrow and might do ok. I'll feel so much better once they're all done.

Richard is coming down on Wednesday, which is his brithday too, so I'm looking forward to that so much. He's got three whole days off, all of which are set aside for me. YAY! Remind me I need wrapping paper....

So anyway thats about it for me, nothing else new :)

Thanks folks :)

Calender Girls is funny :) There's something about naked old W.I ladies thats pretty funny. The cast certainly helps, it's like Cranford, some of the best British actresses ever. Except Judi Dench, where's she got to in this film?

Anyway my weekend wasn't quite as busy as I'd planned, my hours at work got cancelled so I spent Saturday watching films adn trying to write lecture notes up. I made mum dig out Pillow Talk, (one of the BEST Doris Day films ever, and one of the first, and her first, screwball movie).

Once it got near six I tootled off to ASDA and picked my dear Richard up from work. Between 6pm Saturday and 5.30am Sunday there just isn't enough time. He's sent me home with a letter which I'm going to read in a mo, bless his cotton socks. I miss him already but we did have lots of fun, and next week we get THREE whole days together here :) His birthday is on the 13th, it's Valentines on the 14th and he argued the toss and got his normal days off on the 15th. YAY! I am excited already.
Richard is also going to sit down with his manger this week, and the deputy store manager an begin his transfer to the Lancaster ASDA. Apparently it can take up to three months, so it needs starting soon. At least they told us it took so long and didnt wait till one month before. I broke the news to mum as well so she can get used to the fact that regardless of what happens with his UCAS application, Richard IS moving to Lancaster come Spetember. It can't come soon enough!

It's hard to believe this is Week 4, and the last teaching week in my third module. It's flown by, but at least this week will be a little less hectic. I've got one more piece of coursework due in, which just needs me to figure out how to apply a line of best fit properly, and then I'm done. I have till after Easter holidays to do the 104 coursework but thanks to my friend Rachel I've got a copy of the coursework text which is no longer in print. It's a lovely book too, she orddered one and got sent two, but billed for one, so we're splitting the cost so we pay half each, (which is only fair if she's giving me a free copy).

Anyway I'm rather sleepy now so bedtime for me. Monday morning brings a 7.45am start. Nigth folks!

PS. apologies for any spelling mistakes, Blogger is being crap and not letting me spell check it.

So when I last blogged it was the day before Richard came up, or something like that. Well he did come up and we had an absolute ball. As always :) My friend Hannah picked him up from the station and then came round in the evening, bringing her daughter Ebony with her. Ebony is gorgeous, and delighted Richard by giving him a huge hug on first sight. It's great to see Richard chatting to my friends and playing with a small child. He'll make a great dad one day. Just after my degree, it's not easy whilst as Hannah would tell you.
Although the lucky moose is appearing in Women's Own and a national newspaper AND she's been on an MTV show. It's pretty rare for girls to have a baby at 16 and make it to uni. She's pretty incredible. So glad she's my friend :)
This week has been pretty hard, I've missed Richard so much, but it's nearly weekend and I've got hours booked at work.

OOOOOOOO that reminds me. Last time I worked on the Counters I got chatting to one of Richards old friends, a girl called Lauren. He's know her for years but is a bit wary, he thinks she might fancy him or something. ANYWAY the BITCH asked him for his number yesterday and said she'd fix him up with one of her mates so he could have an affair. Richard gave her one of his manger friends phone numbers, and told me. I'm working on counters on Saturday so we shall see shan't we. Do you think I can slap her?

We FINALLY got out girlie meal on Monday. As many of us girls from Biology who could come came, and we had a lovely time. Well we did until people started being stingy with their share of the bill. Money brings out the worst in people, next time I think it gets split down the middle no questions. Some people just didn't get that we had to pay the service charge.
I've been having a few issues with one of Karen and Lisa's friends, Laurie, who for some reason came to the meal despite not being on our course. That of course wasn't a problem, but since she threw me out of my own kitchen and told me I needed contacts and highlights I have felt a little wary of her. She's put a couple of others peoples noses out of joint as well. The sad thing is I really like her, but she has a tendency to single out and be a bitch to the weak link. One must learn to cope, seen as Lisa and Karen are good friends of mine.

Neways that's about it for my week. Speak soon xxx

YAY! It's Friday! It's 10.00am so in two and a half hours I get to see Richard :) He's coming down here this weekend and I am SO excited! My friend Hannah needs some nappies for her little girl so is going to take me to and from the station following our lecture. And once I've done getting ready I'm going to race up to the post office and to try and find a book that's in in the libary. If I can find my tutor as well I don't have to go to the tutorial this afternoon :) I love my tutor, Earthworm Guy :) He said it's OK to just pick my essay up not attend the tutorial because I'd be so late getting back from the station. Bless him :)

And I've just realised it's 10 and my lecture is at 11......right time to go methinks.

National Sad Day was not so sad

Today has been National Sad Day but I wouldn't say it's been very sad. Exhausting yes but sad no. Mondays are always, for want of a better word, a bitch. Starting at 9 I have three hours of lectures followed by three hours of practical. Then another three hours to write up my lecture notes and make a start into the coursework for one module. In short I'm knackered. The silver lining is that I only have 2 lectures tomorrow and two afternoons free and I don't have to be up till 10 :) Woot!

My weekend was brilliant, I had no idea how much I'd missed Richard till I was trapped behind the deli at ASDA desperate to go and cuddle up to him and just talk all about my week. I'm missing him alot right now, probably cause I'm so tired, but I only have to wait till Friday as he has Friday and Saturday off he's coming here this weekend. YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!!! Can't wait! Is it nearly Friday yet??????

This week is probably going to be as busy as last week. I'm not planning on going into town really, I don't think I can afford the time off study, but I've got a girlie biology meal planned with everyone and my flatmate is having people round tomorrow night so I won't starve socially.

I wore my retainer last night for the first time in months, mainly because I've been holding my jaw so tense recently and wearing it encourages me not to. Fell asleep all OK but when I woke up I realised it wasn't in my mouth. Now it's way too big to swallow but I couldn't find the bugger in my bed anywhere. It showed up eventually but how it fell out of my mouth I don't know!

Well that's it for me, it's bed time :) Oh and guess what! It's the start of National Bunny Week today :)
love and hoppy rabbits, Claire

Excuse me have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car?

As you may be able to tell I've been watching Torchwood using the BBC's new iplayer thing. Aside from stopping to load every few seconds at some points it's pretty good, certainly a bloody good idea.Thanks Mr. BBC :) It means I didn't miss the start of the new series, and how hot is James Masters looking? Very methinks*

The last week has been mental and exhausting. With exams on stupid inconvenient days I'm working much harder to try and learn and remember the material. I've done far more of my further reading than I normally do and being so busy means at least I'm not missing Richard. The modules themselves are pretty interesting still, all my extra work has been for one of them so far but I'm off to the library tomorrow to try and find a book for my coursework and another for a second piece. Due to my lecturer jetting off to the Antarctic we have a whopping 14 weeks to produce our practical write up. Nice but I'd rather it wasn't hanging around really. The book we need for it is no longer in print and amazon has one used copy priced at nearly £200! The book isn't even WORTH that much!
Our lecturer told us today the ecology center within the uni, (that is actually a national center but works in conjunction with us), takes on one student per year for work experience. It sounds really interesting so I'm planning on emailing the lecturer to show my interest. It would be perfect really, paid and within Lancaster Uni, so although I'd be on a gap year I wouldn't miss seeing friends of need to move again. I don't know if it's the right thing yet but it sounds good to me.

I'm off home tomorrow, can't wait to see Richard and with any luck a phone call tomorrow may turn up some hours on the deli department. My manager doesn't want me, which I think may be punishment for not working much over Christmas and asking last minuet again. Cross your fingers I can get some hours. The money isn't essential but would be great.
Neways if I'm to get up tomorrow I need to go to bed. That's if Adaware has finished running it's scan......well it has but it doesn't seem to want to delete the stuff it's found. Grrrr why are updated programs always so much more complicated????? HELP!

Love, Claire

*but not as hot as Richard....sorry it has to be said.

Well I'm back in Lancaster, all unpacked and fully launched into the term :) It's looking like it will be a good one; we have one scary lecturer and we've got the module on Aquatic Biology this half, they had to swap it because it only have one lecturer and she's in Antarctica when its supposed to run. How cool is that? She is one of my favourite lecturers so far anyway, her description of what happens to certain protozoa out of water was hilarious.
Mondays are always my busiest day, three lectures and a three hour practical. I've managed to write up one set of notes this evening but I've had a massive headache so haven't done any since. It's going now so I'll do a little more whilst I watch the end of Signs before bed. And eat popcorn :) The microwavable kind.
It all helps not missing Richard, it's certainly weird without him. But it's the weekend soon :) And he's coming down for the 13th and 14th of February. But ohmigod two of my modules have decided to put their end of module exams on Valentines Day. *swears at evil tutors. Could be worse though, at least they're in the morning so I get them over and done with.
Oh dear I'm now absorbed in the film.......this doesn't bode well for my note making.
See you soon folks xxx

Well tomorrow sees my return to Lancaster for another 10 weeks of study. I’m all packed up and keeping distracted so I don’t think about the fact I miss Richard already and have to wait another week before seeing my best friend and boyfriend again. I’ll be pretty busy the next couple of weeks, its straight back into the next set of three modules and seeing everyone again. I have missed everyone lots, especially my communal little flat people, it will be nice having them wander into my room randomly or meeting in the kitchen to cook dinner. I won’t mind having the work again either, it’s fun, and practices are always a laugh.
So Lancaster here I come :)

The Year Of A Million Dreams

Well HAPPY NEW YEAR folks :)
I saw my new year in at Richards, which was brillaint. We have big plans this year, least of all moving to Lancaster. He spent this afternoon at mine for tea, and it was good to see him getting to know my parents a bit more. He fits perfectly into our family, he's seen the same tv shows as my parents and shares their sense of humour. And you can't fail to see how much he loves me :)

This year has been rather turbulent, (I suppose I should do the evaluation of the year like everyone), I've loved and lost, actually hated education in the form of AS Chemistry, changed my job, fallen madly in love again but this time with my soulmate, and usccessfully gone to uni on a course I enjoy. I've been bitterly depressed but found my way through the wilderness and returned to a more balanced form of myself. I've lost a few friends, one of whom I dearly would like back in my life, but I've made dozens more. I grew up enough to catch trains and make numerous changes all by myself, like the time I went down to Fluffys, all the way to London and back by myself. My spelling hasn't improved but who cares? I have a new fringe and have developed a sense of real style. I'm happy and loved.

So what would I like from this year? To pass my first year of uni, for Richard to be living with me in Lancaster and for us to be happily intergrated into my family. To get back the friends I've lost and to continue making new ones.

So have a happy new year folks, I hope it's your best yet.
Love Claire xxxx

Cause Without Love It Don't Mean A Thing

Mannn if I wasn’t so small I’d be at Richard right now. His stupid flatmate Ruth broke her key in the front door yesterday, and didn’t think to try and get it sorted till it was later. So the only way into his house is over a very tall fence. This is all well and good if you’ve got a rather tall and handsome boyfriend to help you over it, but on a Sunday morning I haven’t got a tall and handsome boyfriend because he’s at work. So instead I’m going round tomorrow after he’s worked to be thrown over the fence and we needn’t fret about leaving the house till New Years Day when we come to mine for tea. *sulks about being small.

It has been a rather terrible day, the kind where you wonder why you got out of bed. I’ve been called fat by my Nanna, told by my sister that she can’t wait for me to be back at uni and had parents that seriously take each other for granted. I’ve felt so strained by the fractions in their marriage today it’s untrue. A little bit of communication wouldn’t go amiss. *makes note to LISTEN to what Richard says when married and assure he does the same.

So in short the highlight of today was buying a nice new pair of black jeans and a pair of brown smarter ones from New Look because I found a hole in one of my jeans yesterday.
Oooo and I figured out where to get the bicycle from in pokemon diamond…a large DUH moment.

Unlimited Rice Pudding

Well heeeelllooooooooooooooooooooo people! How are we all? Did everyone have good Christmases? I did. I can categorically say this has been the best and most special Christmas ever. I’ve been spoilt rotten by Richard, a Tiffany floating heart Elsa Perretti necklace and some Angel perfume. I was very very lucky. And spoilt :)

Spent most of today lounging in bed or on the sofa watching various Darlek related Doctor Who’s, specifically for fans the last one that Davros is in in the old series and the last one Eccleston did where he regenerates. We’d watched the Christmas special yesterday, which was good but not overwhelming. Very Poseidon, but rather lacking in series plotlines being set up. The next series clips were brilliant, apparently the Ant People, for want of a better name, are back :)

Without meaning to be sickeningly happy, especially when I know there are plenty of people out there struggling to keep their heads above water, but I am ridiculously happy and loved up. I have found the most wonderful person I ever thought possible and I so can’t wait to start a proper life together. The aim is to be living in Lancaster by September, and I can’t wait. How did I get so lucky suddenly?

Did anyone see Ballet Shoes? Wasn’t it wonderful? Superb acting and I love the plot. Emma Watson is certainly developing into a fine actress, who wasn’t greatly type cast, apparently she can act other roles.

So happy :)

Merry Christmas

Happy Christmas to all you wonderful people!

So far Best.Christmas.Ever :)

May All Your Christmases Be Merry And Bright

Just in case I don't get time to say it tomorrow I hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow and that you get everything you want, be it a present or something more. I know I've already got everything I could ask for for christmas even before the day arrives. I'm lucky. I hope you all are too.

I’ll Give It To Someone Special, Who’ll Give Me Something In Return

Last Christmas, Wham

So who’s ready for Christmas? I’m just about ready I thinks, all my presents are wrapped, aside one for Richard which I’m hoping will arrive tomorrow. If not it’ll be ok. :)I’m looking forward to Christmas a lot this year, it’s the first one I’ll be splitting with someone other than my family, and I’m just well…excited and happy.
I’ve managed to see Richard pretty much everyday, even if it’s only whilst working. As for work, JEESE it’s been busy. Why is it the moment you put on the uniform you become invisible to customers? Yeah that’s right mate, stand in front of a pallet full of frozen food that can’t stop so easy, it will hurt if it hits you! Ah well I’ve been lucky and only worked for three days, my friend Katie has done every day since she got back, poor thing.

OOOO and a note to my nasty “I don’t like the way you spell stuff but I’ll read your blog anyway just so I can leave a bitchy message”, the only word that’s spelt wrong so far according to Word is blog, mainly because it isn’t in the dictionary. Honestly haven’t you got anything better to do than be nasty about my spelling abilities? Trying to make me feel bad because of something I’m not so good at is just, well pathetic, almost as pathetic as not leaving your name. So next time I’ll be naming and shaming you because I know where you live…..so to speak. Thank you magic little stats counter :)

Moving on, I kinda miss uni, something I know a lot of students are feeling. Mainly the lack of independence, which was a little depressing at first, but now I’m well rested I’m feeling fine. Slowly getting through the endless tasks I seem to have which are more to do with tidying my room or scraping booking. But in general I like my life and am very happy. Think I need some new glasses but that’s about it. Now I’m going to go to bed and be happy there :) Merry Christmas folks.

Haven’t I done well Mr. Nasty Spelling Commenter, a whole blog and no spelling errors? And I’ve managed to not babble on about how loved up I am. We’ll save that for the conversations I have with myself and my teddy
