Bonjour! Claire’s back in the blogging zone! I’m surprised Bone hasn’t sacked me, I, again, shall apologise for the distinct lack of blogness, but I’ve been a busy little bee! It’s been lovely being at home, uni was a bit shocking by the end of it all, got a bit of depression, but I’m not interested in any of that anymore… lets recap on the events of the last few weeks…

Holiday to Wales - just grand. A week with all 16 of my family member dudes in Bangor to celebrate my gruf’s 75th birthday. Fun to had by all. I climbed Snowdon! We mocked the pathetic attempt of those old dears in high heels taking the train and trying the claim they also climbed Snowdon. My cousin Richard & I kept the student thang alive by drinking every night… Nah hang on, that was just me… Ah well, I’d been detoxing since leaving uni, hadn’t drunk a drop of alcohol (well except for champagne on my friend Jen’s 21st, but that doesn’t count… to me anyway) for a month, it was a celebration! Why am I justifying myself, everyone knows I’m a piss-head! You only need to look at past blogs for evidence. Still working full-time which is good cos I need the ma-honey and loving my job anyway.

Then my little bratchen and I went to ‘Pop 2 The Park’ in Carlisle! (don’t even both commenting and mocking me, I’ve heard it all before!) Afterall, it was only a tenner entrance and we saw a whole selection of dudes, ranging from the cheese from Daniel Bedingfield, Girls Aloud, Estelle, Jo from S-Club 7, Tyler James, Bananarama, to the pits from pop idol and pop star the rivals rejects. But all in all a good day. Except we waiting an hour for Girls Aloud and they were rubbish, pretty sure they mimed, Nicola had a face like a smacked arse throughout the entire set and Cheryl took every advantage in showing off her massive engagement ring to the assembled crowd, who really weren’t all that excited to see them! Daniel was pretty darn fab though!

Returned from Carlisle to find I had been robbed of £422.86 from my bank account. Some bastard has cloned my card and is spending like billy-o. So I’ve spent many a morning either in tears at the bank or the police station. So basically, I have no money. Again, I try to forget these things that piss you right off!

Went over to York for a evening, stayed with my ex-housemate Helen, realised old habits never really die hard when I was faced by the state of her new bedroom… not criticising you though Helen! I’d have it no other way! Got massively drunk and was told many a time that what I was saying made no bloody sense whatsoever… what’s new? Shopping the next day with Jenni, visitated Oscars, which reminded me of my fateful birthday… which led to thoughts of “why the feck did you drink AND smoke so much that you couldn’t see Green Day?!” The self-tourment will never die. Saw Charlie & The Chocolate Factory… Johnny Depp is a genius! And he likes my favourite cool cat place in York - the Evil Eye. My kinda guy…

And now, in between working my butt off, I’m preparing for the big move! The flights are booked for 3rd October. Spending my days off trawling the mobile phone companies and banks for the best deals. Planning weekends to climb Scarfell Pike, visitating York again, seeing the Stereophonics and even stretching to planning next summer! Well, these things have to be done… but true to form, the best laid plans at all that!

Until next time, I leave you with a classic quote from my holiday… “So, have you ever been whitewater rafting?” I’ll let you guys think about that one…
