Family and Riots

Wow, I have been a busy bee this last week. Not even had the chance to update!  (I forgot)

It's been quite an eventful week for myself and for the world (well, London).

There have been riots in London recently; mostly young guys raiding stores for free TVs and stuff. None of it really affected me in any way, although I did go to Wood Green and was pretty shocked that a lot of the shops I like to go in are closed because they were all smashed up. It also prevented me from buying a new TV because the shop I wanted to go in closed early >.<;; It seems to be calming down a lot now though, nothing's happened for days so I hope it stays that way ^.^

Riots to one side, I also had my big sister, Emma, to stay over. I had been keeping regular contact over the phone a few times a week, but we hadn't physically seen each other for almost two years simply because our circumstances kept changing and we ended up in different places all the time.... It's more settled now though. Emma and myself have always been pretty close, so it was nice having her over - just to chat about different things over a hot cup of tea, something that I can never really get out of my significant other ^_~v I thought she would've changed a lot since she's married and with two children now, but she's still the same Emma.  Also, I saw my new niece for the first time too, her name's Layla, she's 8 months old and an absolute cutie (I forgot to take a photo >.<!) My other niece's name is Daniella, she's 7 now and extremely active, but also very loveable. For just a few days my home seemed like a mad house with all five of us under one roof. Although it was also headache inducing at times. It actually felt like a graveyard after Emma went home and took some readjusting.

Oh, and in other news. My David's moved in full time now. It's not so lonely anymore, but it's gonna be hard with the cooking. Making nice meals every day has never been my forté. So my next mission is learn how to make yummy food.

Feel ill!!

It's been quite a pleasant week of lovely summery afternoons and warmth and of feeling relaxed and lazy, but now all of that can be totally forgotten as the rain comes back (and probably to stay).

The recent news flash is that I've developed a nasty sore throat and something of a fever.

I've spent the whole day sucking throat sweeties, but they don't seem to be helping. 

Cooking dinner now, typical oven ready food as I'm too close to death's door to risk standing in front of a hot cooker to make real food. 

This might make me feel a little better

Although in good news, we finally got the deposit returned from our old flat, so we're a little bit richer than we were yesterday. 

Ok, I'm off to my bed (it's on the floor, remember?) to have a sulk!

My glamorous bed!

First Entry

I've decided to succumb to the whole internet diary thing at last to keep a little record of what I've been up to. If anyone ever does read this - then prepare for pages and pages of my moaning, complaining and general boredom ^.^

So, what's been happening to me in the last few weeks?

Well, I've finally left my flat in Poplar after weeks of battling the dumb lettings agency and have found a lovely house in Winchmore Hill (Enfield - North London). Currently sleeping on the floor as we don't have a bed yet, which sucks, and there's no sofa for seven weeks! It definitely beats a cardboard box outside King's Cross Station though (As I was expecting...)

Our house from the front!

I'm stealing my neighbour's internet as we speak, but got our own internet coming on Saturday - along with our new bed!! Oh and David too, of course :) Hopefully he'll be moved in on Monday.

So that's me updated.

As for today? It's the hottest day of the summer so far, but I didn't really get a chance to enjoy it so much what with spending the whole day in a boiling classroom.

That'll do for this entry!!
