Bye Bye Manchester

Today I decided that I'm actually going to start using this thing properly as I haven't for a while!

I'll post bits and bobs, things about my day, things I like, I'll try not to focus too much on things I don't like (whats the point!)

I started this thing to document my trip to America but I didn't ever get round to doing it so now I have the time to do it I may as well start doing it properly!

I finally decided to cut my losses and leave Manchester, the financial strain of staying up here and not having a full time job finally hit in October so I've decided to pack up and go (much to my house mates displeasure) but if I don't look out for myself nobody else will! I only have 2 days left so I thought I'd go through all the pictures I've taken/had taken of me in the last 3 years and upload some of my favourites!

Fun times with the girls...

Festival Frolics...

Trips to Award ceremonies...

Messy nights out...

Most of the best always involved Danny & Kevin...

Well over 100 concerts...

Alot of them meant standing in puddles of pee like this...

Peace out MCR...

You treated me well but it's time for me to leave and let the good times roll on back home...

Au Revoir xx

U.S.A!!

So the ever impending trip to America to see Kings of Leon in Bimingham, Alamaba and their hometown of Nashville, Tennesee is getting closer and closer!! It's had hiccups along the way and knowing my luck there are a couple more that could come out of the wood works yet.

So far the most important things are booked:

• Flights
• Hotels (Alabama & Nashville)
• Show tickets (Alabama & Nashville)
• Visa

All that's left to do is:

• Book greyhound from Alabama to Nashville
• Insurance
• Put money onto my mastercard!!

I can't wait for this trip, even more so now that I know I'm definately going and with getting my new job I'll have the money to go.

I can't wait to meet Tan and Leah from Australia, Nicole from Switzerland, Jenna and all the American girls and Last but not least Claire, Angie and Marg, you've all been there for me whenever I've eben down lately and have helped me out when times got tough and given me the best advice ever, theres not a single group of people who'd I'd rather go on this trip with.

In their blogs Angie, Marg and Tan have said that one of the best parts of this trip besides seeing the boys twice, is the fact we're all meeting up. We've all spent hours online chatting to each other and we're all going to finally have a face to face chat!

I really do think it's going to be a trip of a lifetime and I'll never regret going!! And everyone thats going needs this trip too!!

Only one month to go and I can't wait!!

Numero Uno

So seeing as all the girls off the site have created themselves one of these bad boys, I thought i would too.

I've tried blogging and online journalling in the past but never lasted longer than a week, so hopefully this time it'll last longer!

So things finally look like their on the up, but seeing as I've just put that it could all go incredibly wrong knowing my luck. I finally managed to get myself a job, albeit a shitty telesales one, but hey it pays the bills. Although my living arrangements at the moment are driving me insane! I've been living in my house for almost 5 months now and for 4 of those months my housemates boyfriend has been living here, I wasn't even asked about it when he first 'moved in' but now it's getting stupid, he's here everynight, using the internet, electricty, water etc not to mention watching my television! The worst thing is I feel like I can't even sit in the lounge when they're here as I feel uncomfortable and it's got to the point where I watch about 2 hours of television a week.

Then theres the part about the front door, when I didn't have a job this was the most annoying thing in the world, not that it doesn't annoy me anymore if anything its driving me even more insane! They don't just shut the front door everytime they go out, the slam it off it's hinges, causing the whole house to shake, and it sounds as though a bombs gone off, 8.30am on the dot every morning and whenever else they go out! It's got so bad it's actually starting to form crackson my walls, I've even tried mentioning it, you can guess what effect that had.....NONE what so ever!

Enough ranting/rambling for now!!
