Sunday 17 March 2002
Okay, so I got a little bit bored and decided to start on online diary for all you nosey people out there! This is what's going on in my life at the moment:
Monday 18th March 2002
This site is definitely going to become the main reason why I don't do any work - I have decided :) My money worries have slightly lessened (told you I'd talk about money alot!) as my lovely lovely dad sent me a cheque for £150 today, and I started to sell things on Ebay, rather than buy them, and have made about £50 through selling crap that I shouldn't have bought in the first place. Anyway, I've finished all of my lectures for today, and I have a practical all day tomorrow, so that's probably what I'll be moaning about on wednesday. Found out today that my 5yr old cousin Lewis broke his arm while ice-skating yesterday - my mum says it must run in the family - I broke my leg ice-skating when I was 11 (I had to start secondary school in a wheelchair) Time to go home I think, I'll be dishing out more crap on wednesday!!!
Thursday 21st March 2002
Okay, as pointed out by one of my friends (you know who you are) I didn't come and write in my diary yesterday. Many apologies for this - I am sure that you were devastated to find that my presence had not graced this page yesterday!! Anyway, the reason why I wasn't on was because I was skiving...Bad? yes, worth it? YES! I didn't want to do this five minute presentation thing, I had stayed up till 6 in the morning with total writer's block and just couldn't do it :( Which is why I never got out of my pyjamas, well just to go down the road and get pizza really.)
Tuesday was actually okay, even though I said I would be moaning about it, and I walked the three miles home after I had finished aswell.
I started packing up my room last night (because during the holidays we're not allowed to keep things in our rooms) all the toys are packed up, posters gone from the wall, but I still have lots of junk lying around so it still feels like home! Just found out last night that my dad wouldn't be able to pick me up on Saturday because he's ill (not serious) so my mum has to pick me up instead (and she can't hardly carry anything! So Saturday is going to be full of fun.
Right, I'm going now, I have a tutorial type thing on the computers so I don't even have to move!! Be back soon!! That applies to you aswell as me!
Friday 22nd March 2002
Hello once more, even though hardly anyone visits this site _ well, they're missing out. Seen as today was my last day in Liverpool until 10th April when I move back nito halls, me and my friend have skived off lectures and went down to the Albert Dock, I got a book called "Lern yerself Scouse" which is v.funny, and saw Fred's weather map (you either know what I mean or u don't- I can't be bothered to explain right now) and we have decided that we will have McDonald's for every meal today. We missed breakfast, so we went to McD's, and we just had dinner there, and we're going to go back for tea at about 4/5 o'clock!! Got to go now, I'll have to make time to come back when I have finished all of my packing!!
Sunday 24th March 2002
So, I moved out of the Halls of residence yesterday, there was less faffing around than when I moved out at christmas, and I feel more hopeful cos I don't have to stay at home for as long - two and a half weeks - and then I'm moving back. I'm on the compuetr for most of the time (really bored!) I've joined orange.net and audiogalaxy.co.uk, but on the other hand, I have painting the garden shed to look forward to!! Normally my dad would have done it, but he moved out at christmas to live with his girlfriend Janet (name to be said with disgust). Haven't done much else...my tonsillitis has come back again after two courses of antibiotics so I'm going to go to the local GP tomorrow, and I have appointments booked for the dentist ("looks like you need another filling mwahahahaha") and the hairdresser ("so hows university, any gossip I can spread round to all my other clients?") Anyway, enough bitching and moaning, I have to go help my mum with the tea.......yay.
Tuesday 26th March 2002
Found out about half an hour ago that my dad's had to go into hospital (still not serious though, we don't think) Apart from this bit of news nothing has happened. I went to the doctors yesterday, because even after two courses of antibiotics I STILL have tonsillitis, and the doc gave me a two week course of penicillin rather than the one week courses that my other surgery at university had given me. This basically means that because I can't have alcohol while I am on these drugs, I can't drink for the whole time that I am at home over easter - which, let's face it, is when I need it most. I have spent the whole of today at my computer from ten in the morning till now (7pm) with breaks for going down the street to get the shopping, and walking the dog. I am now waiting for my tea to finish cooking (nothing special, oven chips and sausages) after which I will try my best to stay away fromt the internet for at least 48 hrs. Wish me luck.
Thursday 28th March 2002
Massive congratulations to me, I made 48 hours with no internet...granted I stayed over at a friend's house last night, but it still counts. And went shopping in Birmingham today, bought loads of crap that I don't need (same as before except I'm not doing it via an ISP) It did actually dawn on me when looking at the stats for this page that this is more for me than for the nosy people, cos really, the nosy people are all on the porn sites. (major stereotype, sorry) Who am I apologising to? no-one ever looks here! Anyway, I have to go get something to eat, only had Maccy's today and I'm starving!
Sunday 31st March 2002
Went up to Shrewsbury today to see my Grandad at the nursing home (he has Alzeihmers) and went to see my dad - he's ok, should be allowed out of hospital on wednesday. My Aunt Pauline and Aunt Linda did a really good job of being nice to each other today, even though they're still really pissed off with each other. My Uncle Roy didn't emerge AGAIN - it's a long running joke in our family...no, actually HE'S a long running joke in our family. I really want to go back to university now. Easter is finished - I want out. My sister is pissing me off, wants me to get off the internet so she can phone a friend (and saying it in the sort of tone like "see I have friends to phone") My mum is watching Coronation Street...CRAP!!! and I want to go now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being at home is giving me a bloody headache!!!!!!!!!
Saturday 6th April 2002...only just
It's 20 past midnight, so technically it is now saturday morning. It's my friend Yvonne's 19th birthday today, and me, yvonne, hannah, Adam (Yvonne's boyfriend) and various other people who I haven't seen since the new year are going to go bowling tonight in Telford. Yay fun!!! My other friend Gemma should be there aswell, but she'll be sitting in the bar talking to her fiance Andy, who works on the bar in the bowling alley, funnily enough!! Had 2 spend the whole of friday with my 5 year old cousin Lewis (he's going to be 6 on April 15th) Which now that I'm thinking about birthdays, has reminded me that I haven't bought Yvonne a present yet. oops.
I'm still on the antibiotics so I can't drink, but then again, I haven't got enough money to go out frivolously buying alcohol here there and everywhere. I had better go upstairs to my room now, because my mum keeps checking up on me and asking when I'll be going to bed (which is her polite way of saying "GET OFF THAT BLOODY COMPUTER NOW!!!!!" But before I go, good news! my dad was discharged from hospital on Thursday, and he should be coming over to see me and my sister this weekend!! Which is fantastic :D Be back soon, take care of yourselves, Ellie x
Sunday 7th April 2002
Hello! Got nothing to do at all today! I got up at 11.30 - got to take advantage of the easter holidays! And I painted the shed yesterday, and got the paint all over my arms aswell in the process! Bowling last night was great fun, played three games with Gemma and Andy before everyone else arrived, and then played two games with Laura, Emma, Hannah and Yvonne - but now my back REALLY hurts from chucking that bowling ball!
When we went shopping on friday mum bought this computer pal thing - I've taken a pic so I'll see if I can upload it later!
The picture of the "revamped" computer as promised!
And as you probably noticed (if you are a regular visitor) I have added a picture of Boo at the top of the page! Couldn't resist! And today I have added a link to my friend Dawns' new webpage, so you can go and look at that aswell :) BBack Soon, Ellie x
Tuesday 9th April 2002
Didn't do much today really, watched the Queen Mother's funeral, and I've packed up most of my stuff ready for heading off back to Halls of residence tomorrow.
Went to see Ice Age last night, which is SO funny (laughed so much I cried!) and you just have to see it!
Bought a new phone yesterday aswell (Nokia 8310) only £30!! on contract though, but you can't have everything!
Seen as I'll be going back to halls tomorrow I have no idea when I'll be able to get back to the internet, monday at the latest, and then I'll update you on new events! Promise I'll try to get back ASAP, Ellie x
Monday 15th April 2002
I'm back!! And I'm straight back into my old habits again because I'm skiving Physical Chemistry! Done quite a few things since I've been on last, on wednesday I really did nothing apart from moving all of my crap back into the Halls of Residence, on thursday, my friends Dawn and Neha came over and we all went out to the Raz (and got membership...YAY!) and I got pissed on 2 cocktails from MODO and 7 bacardi breezers! On Friday me and Dawn went to see Crossroads - as my mum said 2 me when I told her I was goin to see it - "Yeah Britney!!" Saturday I did nothing, and on Sunday me and Dawn went down to ASDA to stock up on essentials (alcohol, chocolate, crisps) Problem was the trolley was so full that we could never have carried all of that shopping the 15/20 min walk back to halls....so we took the trolley with us, took the shopping out when we got to Halls, then carried the shopping trolley up 2 flights of stairs to my room, where it is now overflowing with boxes and cuddly toys!! I think that's all.
AND today it's Dawn's 19th birthday so we're all going out tonight for that aswell :-) I sense another drunken night coming on!! And if I don't get drunk then I am at least aiming to be tipsy :-D
AND I tryed to buy a phone off the internet but one2one refused me :-( So I'm going to go down into Liverpool city centre when I'm finished on the computers and go buy me a NOKIA 8310!!! I WANT ONE SO MUCH!!! See this is why I've got so far into debt!
Okay, I'm going now, be back soon, Ellie x
Tuesday 16th April 2002
Back again today! Had a really good night, BUT, I said I would get a bit tipsy at least, well...we went to modo's and I had about 1 1/2 pints of cocktails (from a pitcher) then my friend shared in round a bit, but there was a bit left which she egged me on to drink. Well, without going into too much detail, less than 5 minutes later the pitcher was half full again. yuck. Felt much better afterwards though, but still slightly pissed, and very tired from playing frisbee and going on my new spacehopper earlier that day!!
We all went over to walkabout after "the incident" where we saw Tinhead from Brookie, and lots of Hollyoaks people, which is quite confusing when you're pissed cos all that was going through my head was "How did they get out of the telly?!?" Anyway, I sat on a comfy sofa smoking and drinking lovely water, while my friends all went off dancing and shouting "WHORE" down the stairs at me (actually that was just Amanda)
Just keeping you up to date! Ellie x
Friday 19th April 2002
Hiya. Just a bit bored after my biochemistry lecture (yes, I actually went) so I thought I'd come on here and pass the time while eBay are doing their weekly maintenance thing. And, no, I'm not buying things, I'm selling this time! So, I should have a bit more money soon!!
I found out why I couldn't get a contract phone yesterday aswell, it's cos I'm not on the electoral regiter for Liverpool City Council - so I phoned them up yesterday and they said that my registration should get to me by saturday! So I should be able to get a phone by my birthday at least (21st May just in case you were wondering)
My dad was supposed to be buying me a 30Gig hard drive on sunday (for those who don't know, that's just a hell of a lot of space to put crap on my computer with) but he has no money at the moment so he couldn't, AND I need more memory for my computer aswell cos if i have more than 4/5 programs open then the computer crashes :( Think i'll just have to make do for now...or find a very generous person who is willing to give me all of this stuff for free (about as much chance of that as winning the lottery I expect)
Nothing much else has happened this week. I slept for a bit yesterday afternoon - which meant that i couldn't get to sleep till 3am this morning!
On a totally different note, it's the verdict for Little Mo tonight!! Have to watch/tape that, whatever, cos we all might be going to see "Bend it like Beckham" tonight. Think it's going to be me, Amanda, Dawn, and Sarah. Anyway, I'm going to find more crap to do on the internet, and i'll be back on Sunday or Monday, whenever I can be arsed to get up and get to a computer!! Ellie x
Tuesday 30th April 2002
I know that i haven't been on for a while, but I really doubt that anyone noticed! Haven't been doing much either. Went out shopping yesterday, spent less than £100 - I was very good. Spent the whole of Sunday in my pyjamas, which really made my friends think I'm lazy (look up the word lazy in the dictionary and my picture is next to it! Got a practical exam this afternoon, which will be crap - and then I have another 5 exams starting from next monday. My exams finish with physiology on may 14th and then it's the westlife concert that night!!! Don't have anyone to go with me yet though - it's SO hard trying to search for people who wouldn't lynch themselves during a westlife concert. Anyway, can't stay, got some crap computer work to do as part of the practical so I have to go. BBakwhenever, Ellie x
Wednesday 2nd May 2002
Hi, not done much today, bought a beanbag off ebay for less than a tenner (I can't help it - Ebay is addictive....wonder if they've put them Ebay patches out yet - that would cure my addiction! :-D)
Found someone to go to see westlife with me!! Thankyou very much to Darrell!! Now I won't have to take along my "Tickle me Elmo" for company!Now for something completely different...went on the spark just and did the inner child test - just in case you are interested, this is my inner child:
Okay that's enough of boring you to death for one day, I think I might go home soon. Sit and watch TV and listen to Holly Valance all afternoon! Byeeeeeeeeeee!!
Monday 13th May 2002
Have you noticed how the longer this diary has gone on for, the longer apart the entries get? Anyway, I haven't been able to come on here too often because of exams, yuck! I have physical chemistry this afternoon, and physiology tomorrow afternoon, but then it's all over!! My other exams have been crap - apart from Biochemistry on friday which I thought went quite well. I did nothing last night, just watched ER and Teachers that I had taped on wednesday night, then went to bed at 11.30, which I really shouldn't have done, because I woke up at 5am, then again at 6 and 7am.
I have done no revision at all, so when I come back in August to do resits it will be all my own fault (I get my exam results on the 13th june - if I get round to it I might put them up on here.
I still need to write my CV for the temp agency I'm going to join over the summer, but that shouldn't take me too long, and my mum keeps pestering me to write a birthday list so that my relatives know what to buy me - even though I'll probably just get a pile of Virgin/HMV vouchers anyway.
Right, I'm going to get some brain food, before my exam starts at 2.30 - bbakwhenever, Ellie x x
Wednesday 15th May 2002
My exams are over!!! Yes!! Had my last one yesterday and now I'm free!! Went to the westlife concert last night with Darrell, and it was fantastic! I bought a programme and a scarf, so I didn't go too overboard though. The concert finished at 10, but I had to hang aroung till 11.15 for the train home, so me and Darrell went to a cocktail bar till 11, and then when we went back to Manchester Victoria so I could get the train home it was absolutely packed!! We got back to Liverpool Lime street at 12.20, and then I had to run so that I could catch the last bus home - which was pulling away when I got to the stop - but they stopped for me, phew!!
I didn't feel much like going to bed when I got home, so I watched Monsters Inc (that Darrell had given me earlier - Thank u very much) and then I watched, Eastenders (Nasty Janine!), Holby City (I'm getting v.annoyed with the priest), and Cutting It (Just fantastic) that I had taped while at the concert - so I ended up getting to sleep at 6am, and then I woke up at 10.30, so I'm feeling quite knackered.
Anyway, me and Darrell took some photos alst night, Darrell was threatened with being thrown out for having a digital camera as opposed to a crap one, but he still got good pictures!, Oh and westlife singing Brown Eyed Girl, and Build Me Up Buttercup, massive respect!!
Anyway, to end this very longwinded diary entry, click on Kian to see the concert photos:
Thursday 16th May 2002
I'm back again!! Not been doing much so this diary entry will be v.short. Last night, watched survivor (FINALLY Bridget has gone!) and ER, and Teachers - so funny, can't believe I have to wait till next year for more!. Went to bed at about 1.30, and only got out of bed this morning when Dawn knocked on my door at 10 - then I got back into bed and stayed there till 11. This afternoon i have to go and register for my courses next year, and then I have no obligations at all!! So lots of fun for me! BBak soon, Ellie x
Wednesday 22nd May 2002
Ok, I just wrote this once, but then the computer lost it so, I'm having to write it again! Well, I turned 19 yesterday!! Went to walkabout last night, and then went to one4 to play pool - I actually won a game!! That was good apart from these stupid scally slags who were sitting on our table while watching their numbnut boyfriends play pool.
Ok, off that subject now, my mum, nan and my sister came up to see me during the day, and Dawn came with us aswell when we went down to the albert docks to do a bit of shopping!! Finally got Amanda's birthday present, which I hope she likes - even if it is late (her birthday was on monday)
Anyway, I'm going to go and pester Dawn, cos i got a 20Gb hard drive and a CD writer from my dad, and Dawn needs to install it, cos I'm crap! BBak soon, Ellie x
Wednesday 29th May 2002
Well nothing much has happened. I slept in till 2pm so I've only been awake for an hour. Me and Dawn are REALLY bored, this cannot be overestimated - so much so that one of my missions while I'm on the computers is to find the flags for the Korean rep. slovenia, Costa Rica and Croatia, because we are making a flag for every country that's in the world cup, and these are the ones we are missing. We need help!!! But there's the survivor final on tonight (go Jonny!!) and I need to go to the Big Bro website and vote for Jade one million times, and then i can go home and be bored once more!! BBak soon, Ellie x
Wednesday 5th June 2002
Not doing much..downloading more songs off Audiogalaxy. Watched ER when I got up. Didn't really get much sleep last night, lied in bed for an hour and couldn't sleep so I got back up and watched Harry Potter till 4am, then I woke up again at 7.30, and again at 9 when the cleaner came in to empty my bin. Going back home on saturday..can't say I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait to see the pets though. My dad was going to help with bringing all of my crap back home form Liverpool, but he's gone down to Cornwall to meet his girlfriend's parents, and he won't be coming back till late saturday evening - so that's buggered things up a bit. My mums boyfriend Nigel has offered to help though, and it comes to something when a bloke you've never met is more willing to help than a bloke who is blood related to you. Anyway, if I carry on I'll just get pissed off. and thinking about having to spend a whole summer with my mum and my sister (aaarrrggghhh!) But then at the end of August I get to move in with Dawn and Amanda, and I don't give a shit if we might argue, cos really anything's better than being in Shropshire! Bye bye!!!
Thursday 13th June 2002
Haven't been on for over a week..that's quite rare....anyway, I'm bored now. Back at home.Had a great few last days in halls, I've already read the description on Dawn's page, so to save me from going over it again, you can just go visit her page (the link's at the top of the page). Already miss Dawn and Amanda (Roomies!!!), and Liverpool, and I've got another 8 weeks to go!!
Anyway, back in shropshire, went to the opticians today and apparently my eyes are fine, and I don't have to have another checkup for 2 years, I'll have finished my degree by then!! Went up Telford town centre today aswell. Got some father's day pressies cos my and my sister are going out with him tonight (first time I'll have seen him since April) and I got my sister's birthday present aswell - Moulin Rouge DVD (she doesn't know that she's getting a DVD player yet!!) Just in case you were wondering my sister doesn't know what the address is for my site, so she can't come and check up on here!!
Went out last night with Charlotte (sister) mum, and Nigel (mum's boyfriend) last night aswell. That was ok. He still wants to go and visit my Aunty Linda, and we have all refused to go.
Still need to get a summer job - asked in Threshers Wine Store but they said that they don't like taking on students :p and that you need 3 months of training (to sell fags and alcohol! - what do you possibly need to know!!)
Saw my friends Adam and Yvonne while I was wandering round Telford aswell, and stood outside Barclays for over half an hour talking to them - which was good - have lots of catching up to do!!
It's my sisters birthday tomorrow, she's 17, feel so old!! and she's going to alton towers, and it's getting very confusing, cos my mum has these 2-4-1 coupons, so either 2 or 4 people can go, mum and Charlotte are definitely going, and first it was going to be Nigel and Stu (charlotte's boyfriend) going aswell, but the Nigel couldn't get the time off, so then I was going to go, the Stu said he couldn't get the money, so it was just Mum and Charl, and now Stu can get the money, and Nigel might be able to get the time off!!! Make Your Mind Up We Have Less Than 24 Hrs Here!!!
The one totally saving grace for being at home has to be the E4 coverage of Big Brother...fantastic - I was up the other night listening to them discuss whether oral sex or normal sex was better - very interesting discussion indeed :/
Right, I'm gonna go, not that I have anything better to do, just that my bum hurts from sitting on the computer chair for too long :( Bye bye!!
Sunday 16th June 2002 (just about - 00:30)
3-0 to the Eng-er-land!!! Woo hoo!! I was getting way too excited while I was watching that - and I got a txt message off Dawn every time they scored! here they are just in case you are interested, don't think Dawn will mind (?!?):
Wednesday 10th July 2002
Now it really has been a long time since my last entry, but this diary has lasted longer than the one I had when I was 9, where I wrote to my imaginary friend Lily. Don't know why I decided to share that!
Still been looking for a job, not much luck, went down to look at the advertising boards outside the local newsagents, and the only thing I could do was be a cleaner at the local betting shop - so I might have to ask about that. I did find a very weird advert from a "single professional man looking for a woman (or 2!) to have fun with". When you get down to it, he wanted escorts to come live with him.....er..NO! My mum keeps moaning at me still!! She moans that I never do anything when I'm at home, but even when she comes home and I've done everything she's asked me to, and more, she'll still find something to pick at. Don't know why I bother. I hardly ever see her cos she's with Nigel anyway - she's staying over at his house tonight - Nigel stayed here at the weekend. He hardly ever talks to me and my sister, and he's a nice enough bloke, but he just hasn't got any presence at all, like you wouldn't notice when he walked in the room if you know what I mean - which is probably why he had to resort to finding girlfriends over the internet. There is no excuse for my mum though. She acts all luvey duvey with Nigel, and I told dad that, and he said that they weren't even like that when they were going out, and my mum was 16 then. She's never acted this way before - it's so weird - I go away to university, and when I come back my mum's gone and changed on me. I don't think I like the new her.
Enough moping now. On a whole new subject, I have had a couple of freaky dreams recently - last night I dreamed that Jade from big brother died live on television, and the night before that I had two dreams, one where my computer broke down after I spilled water on it (?) and another really long one where me and my family were at an amusement park on the log flume or something, and everyone else had got on before me (had to go 1 at a time) and I was last, but when it was my turn the ride stopped and i couldn't get on, then loads of my friends turned up and I went off with them, we ended up in a men's changing room (that had no men in it by the way) and I started talking to a girl who I had apparently spoken to on the internet once....(??????????) Then the cat woke me up. I never normally remember my dreams!! I don't have a clue what they mean - think it would be interesting to know what the hell does actually go on in my head!
Right, if you bothered to read all that then very well done to you!! and I'm going to go and watch live big brother on E4 :-D I'll be back when I remember - I have to keep reminding my self that just because I think about doing it, doesn't mean it's going to get done by magic!!! Ok, bye bye!!
Thursday 11th July 2002
I wouldn't have bothered giving an update today, but last night was absolutely explosive. As usual mum came in and started moaning about dad to my sister (I was upstairs at the time - nice and safe) and my sister finally snapped and started shouting at mum for slagging dad and she ran upstairs crying - then mum came upstairs and they carried on arguing, with charlotte moving on to moan about mum's behaviour when she's with Nigel, saying that the other mday mum said she didn't care where Charlotte was cos she was with Nigel - Charlotte said that mum had totally changed and she never paid any attention to us when Nigel was around - then mum started crying aswell (All this time I was just listening in my room - avoiding the confrontation - I got most of this info off my sister when mum had gone out a while later) When they went downstairs they carried on shouting, screaming at each other, then they went into the living room where I couldn't hear them. I found out later that mum had given Charlotte a hug (as always - that was her fixup for everything when we were younger) and told her that she never knew that me and Charlotte felt that way, and that it's always better to get things off your chest *puke*. Even though we had already tried to drop hints to mum about all this, she just laughed it off - and we're sat there like NOOOO I MEAN IT!!! Mum: hehehe!!!!
That's it anyway. Been down the street to the shops and had to send off another cheque for the house we're moving into in august, cos the other one bounced (ooops!), but I might be getting more money off dad, cos this university year I'm getting the full loan, AND we don't have to pay my tuition fees this year, so mum is going to ask (notice, ask NOT tell!) dad if he could split the money he would have paid for my tuition fees between me and my sister, so we'd get about £300 each. Not sure dad will agree though!!
I'll be back when something else interesting happens, Ellie x x x
Tuesday 16th July 2002
It's about 12.30 now, got up at 11. I actually managed to sleep tonight, seen as on sunday night I went to bed at 1am, couldn't sleep, got out of bed at 3am to play computer games, then at 4.30am when it got really light, I started reading Bridget Jones' Diary - The edge of reason, having read the first Bridget Jones book on sunday afternoon. I finished reading that at 11am, then in the afternoon went to the cinema and shopping with my sister, we went to see Scooby-Doo, and I think it's quite funny! Definitely not as bad as some people had told me. Wanted to see Resident Evil but my sister is a wimp and didn't want to see it.
Also, on saturday, I was bored (not a big shock really) so I thought, hey! I could never do magic eye pictures when I was younger, I'll see if I can do them now! (like you do) and so I printed some pics of the web ( magiceye.com if you're interested) and now I can do magic eye pics!! It's fantastic!
Anyway, just had to share this with you, I have to go down the street now to go buy celebrity Heat magazine, but before I go, I've got a new little thing I'm going to do - using comet cursor, I'm going to change the cursor to the mood I was in on the day I last wrote in my diary - very nifty! Hope they don't annoy you too much - esp. seen as you have to download comet cursor to see them - but it's a good program - so try it out!! bye bye!!!
Saturday 20th July 2002
Hello! I'm back again - not doing much today...went out last night with my friend Hannah to a local pub, and I'm going out with her and her friend Amanda who's coming over from America next thursday - so that should be fun!
Had a big scare on thursday night - I'd been downstairs on the computer (gathering pictures of Colin Firth - the Pride & Prejudice repeat on the BBC over the world cup just made me think...phwoar!!!) anyway, went back upstairs, was about to go to bed, when I saw 2 huge moths flying around my room, and they are disgusting creatures!! I don't mind spiders at all - but moths - YUCK!!! so I had to turn off all the lights, and I left my window open, then went downstairs for an hour and a half (till 3am) watching Powerpuff girls with sign language on the cartoon network, then when I went back upstairs they were gone - thank god!!
Anyway. mentioning the Powerpuff girls - I found out that there's a movie!!! It was released in America on July 3rd - don't know if they're going to release it in the UK (they better had do)cos I want to see it at least!!
Ok, well, I have a lot of free time this weekend anyway, my mum isn't here for the whole weekend, cos her boyf Nigel is going to Ireland for a week on a business trip so she's staying over at his house until he leaves tomorrow night - Yay!! no mum!!! peace and quiet!! Right, so I'm going to go off and enjoy my peaceful weekend!!

Hi! guess what I've been doing!!! Nothing!!! Haven't been able to find a bloody job - and mum actually thinks that I like staying at home (err - NO) but when the town you live in is only populated by 7,000 people there aren't many jobs - and the public transport into Telford (next town over) is crap at the best of times. Anyway, only 27 days to go till I get back to liverpool (I realise it's bad to start counting down, but what else can I do?!) I have to go down into down to do the shopping tomorrow, so that gives me something to do other than stare at things on ebay that I can't afford (I am however going to buy some trainers that I've found on ebay - purely b'cos I need them) my current trainers have got quite manky now - seen as I have worn them almost every day since january (nice topic!!)
Anyway I'm having SERIOUS friend problems right now!!! I'm going out tomorrow night with Hannah and her friend Amanda from America, but that's not the problem is. The thing is noone seems to want to go out. I only saw Yvonne by coincidence in Telford Town centre, and I saw Martyn and Roxy aswell - but that's it!! I had Hannah on the phone this afternoon almost in tears because Yvonne said to her that she's tired from working, and can't go out for 2 hours down the pub even, AND said to Han that b'cos her job is contributing 2wards her course and Han's isn't, that her job is more important (more important than your friends??) At this rate I won't see Yvonne again this summer. I know people say that as time goes by you see less and less of your friends from school, but it shouldn't be happening after 12 months - I just get the feeling from some people that now they have friends at uni they don't need their old friends anymore. :( Me and Hannah will always be friends though - we've known each other since the age of 2!
Just read Dawn's diary page - v.funny! And my diary is hardly rarely updated Dawn!!
Random things
That should do for now - probably repeated myself a few times - but i don't care, so why should you!?

Just popping on the internet quickly to keep you up to date - went to Drayton manor today, and it was fantastic - didn't rain at all, and I'm told that there was torrential rain and thunder and lightning in Shifnal (hahaha) the new ride maelstrom is fantastic! Anyway had a great day, but won't go on about it!
I got a letter from ASDA Telford this morning saying that they were impressed by my application, but weren't taking anyone on at the moment - then I get home, and there's a voicemail from ASDA inviting me to a group interview tomorrow (10-12!) so I'm going to go to that - a few weeks work is better than nowt!
Not been going much else recently - went out yesterday night with Martyn, Hannah, Yvonne, Adam and Roxy to our local wetherspoons, and we had loads of fun just sat talking all night. Yvonne was nearly sick after eating half a chocolate fudge cake though - not good!!
I think that's it........OH! How could I forget! - sorted out the date to move back to Liverpool with Student homes - which is finally something solid rather than "We're probably going to move in on the 20th" Can't wait!! 21 days and I'll be back in Liverpool!! :D
Ok that's really it now! Byeeeee!!!
Sunday 4th August 2002
16:47 I got the job! I should start on monday, but the bloke who called me to say that I had got the job forgot to tell me to go to an induction on saturday, so I missed that, and I can't start work without it, so I have to have a mini-induction on monday morning, and I'm working from 8am till 5pm, so I'm going to be knackered. I have to work monday till saturday with tuesday off for three weeks, which means that when I move to liverpool I will have to go back home on the same day, because I'll be working the next day - makes me want to cry when I think about it!! Haven't told Dawn and Amanda yet :( But if I work for three weeks then I'll get £600, which I really really really need, so I'll just have to stick it out. Really wanted to move into the house at the same time as Dawn and Mand, but now I've got this stupid job right at the end of the holidays I can't do it! I think the earliest I'll be able to move to liverpool and stay there, will be the 28th August. :( Anyway, that's all I have to look forward to at the moment, I'm all mixed feelings about work tomorrow, slightly worried and a bit excited aswell, I'm working in grocery (ie. stacking shelves) in the wines and spirits section, so after that I probably won't even want to look at a bottle of alcohol - which is quite unfortunate. Anyway, I'm going to go off and fret about starting work a bit more, and I'll be back whenever I have enough time!
18:25 Just a little picture I have to put up - my perfect car!
Okay that's it now!
Tuesday 6th August 2002
10:37 I am so glad that I don't have to go into work today! I went in yesterday at 8, I had to get up at 6am - then they find that noone has given me a uniform (got that now - polyester, not nice) I haven't got a swipe card to sign in with, I haven't got a smartcard so that I can get food from the staff canteen, I haven't got an offer letter saying that I have the job, and they ended up sending me toddling back home at 9:30 so they could get their sorry arses sorted out! Thank god for the smoking area in the canteen, cos I think that's where I'll be at every break time.
But lucky me, I get to go back tomorrow and start at 8am, so I have to get up at 6am again, in order to get ready before I have to walk half a mile to get the bus which is probably going to be late.
Still looking forward to going back to liverpool, even if it might be later than expected, it was just the smile on my mum's face when she said that I'd have to stay here a bit longer made me want smack her one.
Have got my friend Hannah's birthday to look forward to thoug, that's on friday, and we're all going out in Shifnal down to Naughty Nells, and she's already told me that she's got a bagpuss cake! I was going to stay over at her house with her, because her parents and her sister are all away on holiday, but now I can't (stupid job) wish I hadn't got it now - just want to go back home (i.e. Liverpool, not here)
Now I'm going to go and wallow in self-pity for a few hours, and do sod-all before I have to work tomorrow :(
Sunday 11th August 2002
10:50 Just got up about 20 minutes ago...and I am sooooo knackered. I've had no time to do anything this week between working sleeping and eating (apart from going out on friday for hannah's 19th birthday. I worked on wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday, and I'm working tomorrow aswell - and all but one of them days I start at 8 am. My feet has been killing me all week, and when I get home after work I can hardly walk, but I don't hate the job funnily enough!
I had a tough time trying to get to sleep last night though, even though I could have slept anywhere judging by how tired I was but, I tried to go to bed at 11pm, but my next door neighbour (whose room is an the other side of mine) chose last night out of the whole week to play an action movie at full volume, so all I could hear when I tried to sleep was muffled talking and gunfire every 10 minutes!! Well I went downstairs, watched Jackass on MTV, and a bit of The Osbournes, then went back upstairs at 11:45, and thankfully the film had finished by that time. Then after I'd got into bed and Harry (one of our cats) had settled down on my bed some wanker on my estate decided that fireworks would be fun!! They went off for about 30 seconds, and Harry was scratching my arm to pieces he was so frightened, Chester (our dog) was barking at them, and you just think, wow - that is so considerate of you to tell the estate that you were going to have fireworks so that they could keep their pets inside!!! Anyway, after another mini-fireworks display 5 minutes later, they stopped, and I went back to bed, then tim (our other cat) jumped into my room (he gets in through my open window) and slept at the end of the bed for the rest of the night until he woke me up at 8 this morning scratching on my bedroom door because he wanted breakfast.
I think that's about it for now, I'm not going to bore you by talking about work (get some from warehouse - put it on the shelves) but actually, I did have a customer flirting with me yesterday...I only caught his eye for a split second then he turns round and says "I'm trying to find a wine that is beautiful like you", it was all I could do not to puke! Well anyway, he spoke to me for another five minutes asking me why I didn't love him (err - don't know you) and why I wouldn't give him my mobile number (err - you're a nutter) he offered to give me his number in return but that really wasn't much incentive for me, (he was quite a young bloke by the way - not an old pervert) but sadly the chat-up line blew him out of the sky straight away!! As he was about to leave he said that he just had to check my name again - so I moved my name badge so he could see it and he says "Ellie....beau-ti-ful" and then walked away. When he was walking away I caught the eye of some ten yr old lad who'd been standing nearby and he was giggling at him when he walked away.
Quite funny, the most eventful thing that's happened to me all week, which is quite sad, but anyway, now I'm going to go, check my e-mail which is probably overflowing with spam, and then get something to eat because I'm starving!!!
Wednesday 14th August 2002
19:57 Right straight into everything...nothing has happened to me.....at all. I get up for work at 6 am, apart from Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, get the bus at 7:25 and start work at 8 am, then finish at 4 or 5 depending on the day, then I come home and watch telly then go to bed by 11 cos I'm knackered. Get to lie in tomorrow though cos I start work at 10:30 and finish at 8. And Charlotte gets her A/S level results tomorrow, so I've given her orders to txt me her results ASAP!! Went out with my dad last night to have a meal at the Euston way in telford, we were going to go on Sunday but Dad and his girlfriend got free tickets to go to Chessington world of adventures (which Dad told us is crap) so obviously he couldn't refuse!! I wouldn't have!!!
Can't wait till I get the money from working now!! I know I have to wait another few weeks but I can't!!! And as predicted I am absolutely sick of the site of bottles or cans of alcohol, I see a wine bottle on the worktop at home and it just reminds me of work - least I'm not on the tills though, I just get nice people asking me where the jam is.
Turns out I'm going to be on my own at home tomorrow night, which is what I was expecting, because Charlotte is going to go out aiming to get drunk on Archers and lemonade when she gets her results, then she's staying over at her boyfriend's house, and I don't know what mum's doing......probably going to Nigel's.
Right that's your lot for today - I'm feeling in quite a bored mood - so that's probably what this message sounds like - total monotone - anyway, I'm going now, TTFN x x

14:05
Okay - so I haven't been on here for absoloutely ages!! but after I last wrote I was busy working, then I moved up to liverpool on the 24th August, and i don't have internet access at the house, and when I've been coming to the university computers I haven't had enough time to sit and write a diary entry (sorry!!) But today my lectures started, I had my first lecture as a second year at 12pm, and I have another lecture at 3 (regulatory physiology!!) so i had 2 hours to waste away between lectures. I got my student loan cheque today, which is fantastic!! and there are SO many people here - really weird because I've been here for a month and there's been hardly anyone here!! I've finally managed to pick up an application form for the local ASDA store - but only because me and Dawn dropped into the freshers fair and ASDA had a stall there!! but still - I've got one and that's what matters! I haven't been doing much except going into town and watching telly - and sorting out the mountains of crap in my room (I went home on saturday and brought back a car load more of stuff from my room - mostly books, cds and video of films thatI've taped of telly.) We had so much stuff in the car that my mum could only get up to 50mph with her foot to the floor!!
I think that's all for now though - i dyed my hair last week!! It's now a dark blonde colour - as was noticed by Karen when she came into the lecture theatre this morning and said "Ohh!!! Blonde!!" I think it suits me though - I did try a lighter shade of blonde but I looked so much like Jade it was scary. Anyway, now that's it, and i'm sure that I'll come and write more in between lectures some time soon!!
Tuesday 1st October 2002
11:21 Just decided to come here between lectures - just had a lecture on drug action in manic depression, and at 12 I have a lecture on biological catalysis, which is so boring it's beyond words.
I just tryed to do the work for an assessed excercise in drug action on the computers, but the file that I need to look at to do the work says that it won't open...fantastic. Anyway, went bowling last night, mand won the first game, and me and dawn drew on the second game, but that was only cos mand got me to take my last shot left-handed, otherwise I would have won, but I didn't really care!! Haven't been doing much - got an e-mail from snapfax requesting people to distribute snapfaxes, so I've applied for that (£5 an hour - not bad!) so fingers crossed (ASDA didn't want me :( ) Right, I'm going to get going BBak soon, Ellie x x
Friday 4th October 2002
11:21 Okay, so I'm back!! I have a lecture at 12 (my only lecture of the day!!) so I can't stay too long, and after the lecture I have to speed back home and get changed because I have an interview at ASDA at 2!! They called me on tuesday afternoon to arrange an interview...yay!!! Not been doing much else, Dawn, Mand, Ne and Bex all went to the raz last nite, but I was absolutely knackered so I stayed home and I was asleep before 11. As usual I haven't been doing very much, my life is not that exciting! But hopefully by the end of today I'll have a job at ASDA, so wish me luck!! I don't think there's much else to say for now, so I'll go, and I'll probably write some more on monday / tuesday!! bye!!!
Wednesday 30 July 2003
Okay, so I didn't come back on monday or tuesday to write more stuff, but after I didn't come on for a week or two it became harder and harder to motivate myself to come back, anyhow, this is what's been happening (shortened down of course):
I'm gonna go now, I'm sure I have forgotten some things, and if I remember to come back again then there will be more updates!! C Ya!!! El xoxoxo
