gone home, gone fencing

mleh, i knew going back to bed was a bad idea, now my head is all fudgy.

i just read megs diary, and it made me feel so bad.. i know its difficult being away from home but i still feel like i could do more as a friend. but the thing is, meg pours out her heart to her diary then doesn't mention anything that's upsetting her when we talk real-time. i spoke to her on the net a few days ago and all she said was she was ok, and when i went round while i was home for the weekend, everything seemed fine then, apart from her letting the machine get the phone, which i though was a little odd. but she never said anything, maybe because i didnt ask, but i feel bad for not being able to do anything to help her feel better. she invited me out one night when i was home, but i had em and kate round and was supposed to be taking them back to their place, but i still felt like i was just making excuses and i'm sure that's how it must have sounded to meg, and for that i'm sorry. i'm a pretty bad friend sometimes.

so yes, i was home this weekend. its always tricky trying to fit in everything you want to do when you only have a weekend, but i went to see people at dancing, saw family, went to megs, went to tea at my narnie and grandpa's, and went shopping twice with mum and dad. i did want to try and go to wicked auntie sharon's again and to drop hannah garvey's very belated christmas present off, but there just wasnt time. i got back about half four on friday, which was kewl, cos all last term i was getting back about half eight. dad made cauliflower cheese with turkey sausage balls for dinner and we sat round the table, which was nice.

i always go to bed later than i intend when i'm home, then i sleep in the next day and get cross with myself. anyway. saturday got up late, had breakfast and later mosey'd on down to dancing, intending to quiz them about their injuries for my SSM. ran into a couple of problems in that MSoffice wasnt working, so i couldnt write a questionnaire in the first place, and nobody had suffered any significant injuries anyway because they don't dance enough. so that was a bit of a lost cause, but it was kewl to see everyone at dancing again. had lunch at home then i think we went shopping for stuff for dinner; it took ages! we picked up a few supplies for me too. when we got back i didnt do i great deal, just hung around, being at home, while dad cooked dinner again. twas curry (i love dad's curries...) and we watched casualty and then shanghai knights, which i'd seen with bob in the summer and spotted in tesco earlier :-D we also sampled some of mum's cristmas present - three very expensive-looking chocolate sauces which were divine over ice cream... mmmm ice cream...

sunday i was up quite early as bob and joe were going to a judo grading and i was going to meg's, only the boys kept going in the bathroom when i needed it so i ended up being almost an hour late :-S. it was great seeing meg again, we talked and drank tea (tea always seems so much nicer when it's made in a pot...) and watched an old video of thundercats because i had no idea what she was on about when she kept talking about it. when the beginning credits came on though it all came right back to me, lol.. i remember the cartoon, but not what happened, so it was kewl to see it again. was very cheesy tho, heh :-)
when jane came back from church she made us all fish finger sandwiches and salad for lunch - meg and jane have fantastic bread, it's unsliced and crusty so their sandwiches are huuuuge! one time when i went round with em and kate, meg made us cheese on toast and i swear it was about an inch and a half thick... great stuff...

mum picked me up after the boys had finished and we went home, and i made cookies. i love making cookies, it's so satisfying, and you get to eat the dough that's stuck to the mixing bowl :-) mamma came round later as well and dropped off a tin of thornton's toffee, which i forgot to bring back, d'oh! but i dont think it would have fit in my bag anyway. at about half five we went to narnie and grandpa's for tea, which was brilliant; i stayed in the kitchen a bit talking with narnie and mum, tea was great (salmon, woo!) and then i stayed round the table with everyone again afterwards. narnie gave me these recipe cards from her calendar but i accidentally left them behind so i think she's sending them in the post.

after we got back home mum helped me to dye my hair pink with this semi permanent one (looks pretty kewl actually) and we packed my bag for the morning.

i hate leaving, it really sucks. but i had to, mum drove me to hucknall station but the train was late, then the one to liverpool was delayed because the driver was late, so that was a bit pants. while i was on the train henry rang to ask if i could come to this house they were viewing, so i got the 86 from town and got off where he said, then as i was walking up one road they rang again to say they weren't viewing any more, they had decided to take the two four bed houses we looked at and were with simon signing the contract and could i come to this other road. grr. so i walked, with my three bags, and eventually found them on a street where i could have just got off the bus at a different stop and been two minutes away. bah.

but anyway, we got the houses, and it's all done and dusted. well, almost dusted, he's got to send us our copies of the contract and i think henry and richard have yet to see their house, but it's ours as of the 15th july. yay!

eeee this entry is waaay to long, and i'm hungry.

went fencing last night with henry, was kewl, going back next week, had pizza on the way back to halls that had the most cheese i'd ever seen and finally got to bed much to late.

ok need food now.

bye
