IRELAND

You know guys, I only just realised I didn't show you the photos I took from my holiday!

HOLIDAY

One of my friends said the last few posts have been less writing and more answering questions so I'm gonna take a break from that.

Anyway, HOLIDAY! I'm still currently in the middle of nowhere stealing wifi from the pub next door, but they don't care.. I hope.

Most of this holiday has just consisted of me stealing wifi, eating, sleeping, and spending time in the pub.. All of those things except the last have made me feel a little like cat-woman.. Because she steals and cats like to eat and sleep so it's all good for me. This post is gonna be pretty short because I'm about to go down to the pub again. i hope you're all having fun! 

THEME 3 - MY FAVOURITE RECIPE

So we’re onto day 2 of my holiday.. Yesterday I went back to the cottage from the pub at around 10/11pm and just got in bed with my laptop and watched a film, Abduction to be precise. I love it. Maybe because it has Taylor Lautner in who’s just gorgeous and it also has Lily Collins in and she’s one of my favourite actresses so, I LOVE IT!

My parents got home I don’t even know when but my dad fell over or something and now his ear is all cut up and there’s blood on his pillows.. None of us know how it happened :S

ANYWAY

The theme today is my favourite recipe.. Now at home I don’t get the chance to cook a lot but from watching my mum cook, I have one favourite.. The recipe isn’t all DIY so it’s pretty simple if you want to try it yourself!

To be more specific the meal is CHICKEN CURRY (my favourite food!) and what you’ll need is:

• ·       A can of Heinz Chicken Soup (or more than 1 depending on the amount of people. My mum uses 1 and it feeds 4 of us well so.
• ·       A chicken! OR chicken fillets. Easy enough to get, cooked or uncooked from your closest supermarket.
• ·       An Onion
• ·       Mushrooms
• ·       Rice (or chips OR both!)
• ·       Curry Powder! Buy some in or make your own, its up to you. Brand doesn’t matter just get one that you like!
• ·       A Pan
• ·       A Frying Pan
• ·       Oven (For Chips and/or if cooking chicken yourself)
• ·       Microwave Oven (for rice)

That’s all you need! I’m going to do the recipe for cooked chicken so all you’ll need to do extra is cook the chicken previous and add it in when it says J

1. 1.     Peel and cut up Mushrooms and Onions (whatever shape and size you like)
2. 2.     Fry them off so they’re cooked!
3. 3.     Get pan and pour Heinz Chicken Soup into it and heat until warm/hot.
4. 4.     Add Mushrooms and Onions to Soup and stir in.
5. 5.     Add Curry Powder to the mixture and stir until there is an equal spread of powder.
6. 6.     Add in the chicken and stir until all of the chicken is covered with the mixture.
7. 7.     Heat until you have your desired temperature.
8. 8.     Put rice in the microwave and cook for right amount of time. (Do the same for chips in the oven if you’re having them.
9. 9.     Plate it up and ENJOY!

I love this recipe because it’s so simple and I think it tastes amazing as well. I think its perfect for if you’re in Uni because it’s simple and fast!

THEME 1 - SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER

Just a little foreword here.. I'm going on holiday in 4 hours and 22 minutes.. WOO!

Anyway, the first themed post from lists I made yesterday is - "SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER"

Now thinking about it, not many "big" things happened to me while I was in high school.. I suppose I could say that I had my "first" boyfriend and stuff but most of the relationships I had while there never lasted longer than a month or two so I don't really know if the guys count as "proper" boyfriends..

Life changing wise though I can only really think of 2 things.. One, the whole dilemma I had a while ago where none of my friends spoke to me for a week.. That was pretty life changing because it made me realise that you can't always depend on your friends, and that you really can't trust anyone.. I was so used to depending on them to made me laugh and to make me happy and then they just weren't there, it was weird. So that was pretty life changing because it made me look at things differently and to be honest I think it was a change for the better.

The other life changing thing was applying for the apprenticeship with Unilever.. I did it while I was in an IT lesson, supposed to be doing my work. I'd just decided i didn't want to go to uni anymore so I was looking on the apprenticeship website and I found it. So I applied, not thinking I'd get anyway from it and before I know it, I was in the next stage of the application.. Then the next, and then the next, then the next again and finally I was in the last stage with 9 other people, basically competing for 1 of 5 apprenticeships they were offering. After the final assessment day I waited a week and as it turns out, I GOT IT! So that was pretty life changing because now I definitely know that if you work your butt of for something and don't give up, you'' most likely get the outcome you want. :) 

There's a lesson in life from Jenny, people! ;)

Anything happen while you were in High School that was life changing for you? If so, what is it? I'd love to hear your stories. :)£

STRESS AND "BOOK-ET LIST"

I'm going on holiday "tomorrow" and I've never been more stressed in my life.. Let's get this straight, I shouldn't be, usually it's my mum who gets stressed and its safe to say that she is getting there now.. 

The reason that I'm stressed is because I'm doing things she's telling me to do, yet she still finds the need to have a go at me.. She told me to "clean" my room today so, there I go, getting rid of rubbish, polishing everything and then when I ask her what bin something goes in, she blows up on me. Saying that she told me to clean my room, not to get rid of everything.. I'm fine with doing things for her, and helping her around the house an stuff when she asks, but doing things she tells me to only to get a b*ll*cking.. I don't think so.. I don't see why she's cleaning anyway, my brother is just going to wreck the place when he's here home alone anyway..

ANYWAY

The "Book-et List" part of the title.. As you may or may not know, I already have a page called "My Bucket List" for the more physical things I want to do with life.. I'm going to create a page called "My Book-et List" full of books I want to read. I'm going to be using other people's posts to help me decide whats book are going on it as well as ones I've wanted to read for a while..

So, as a start, do you guys have any books you want to recommend to me? ;)

BACK TO REALITY

It's currently Sunday afternoon and horribly enough, I am back in Sixth Form tomorrow.. On the other hand though, next time I leave there, I have left forever! HUZZAH!

Anyway, it's safe to say that this holiday I have done nothing productive at all.. I haven't done any of the work I was supposed to, I haven't even gotten out of bed that much. (My life is so fun right?) Anyway, after I leave, I should have better things to post about, I'm hopefully going to get that apprenticeship so.

It's back to reality for me so hopefully I have more to say next time. :)

4-Day Blog Hiatus

As you can see by the title of this post, I've been on basically a 4-day hiatus.. From the last few posts I made I mentioned that my parents had gone on holiday and that was basically the reason for the hiatus all together. I mean, since they've been away, all I've done is sit in my living room, eat (£40 worth of ordering in), drink water, play on the Xbox. Just not that much has been going on, so I didn't think what I could write would be enough for you all, you know?

Anyway, my parents are back home now. So hopefully I'm going to have more thrilling and exciting posts for you all. I promise.

THE PAST FEW DAYS

Hello! Sorry I haven't been here for a few days! My parents are still on holiday and my brother has been drinking every single day. Fortunately enough, me and his friends actually get on so it's all good!

Me and one of his friends, S we'll call him have been playing the game Split/Second. It's a racing game with a twist. Have you seen the film Death Race? It's a lot like that, where as you're racing, you can blow things up to stop or slow down your opponents. Anyway, I'm better at the actual races, so i do all of those, and S is good at all other types of play, so he does all them. 

Then me and another friend of my brothers, let's call him J, we're talking about tattoos. He has an incomplete half sleeve and wants more, and i want them too. We ended up just talking about who we thought would suit tattoos and just talking about them in general. Overall, it's been a pretty good few days. 

HOME ALONE

IM HOME ALONE! (With my brother..) Okay, okay. Technically I'm not home alone but my parents are here with us, so I'm counting it as home alone!

So yeah, my parents have gone on holiday to Ireland for week and this is the longest they've left me home in my life.. Last year, they had a bit of a tester when they went away in March/April and it went pretty bad. For my brother anyway. He likes to go out and party and one night he didn't come back.. I mean, my mum hates it when he does that and she's home, so can you imagine her reaction when she was away and he did it? 

Anyway, apparently they were near flying home that day because of it, but they didn't. When they got back (while i was in school) they had a go at my brother.. And i mean had a go at. My dad was furious and I'm glad i wasn't there to witness it. (Violence is not the answer! Only loud words!) 

Anyway, i hope this time goes better and as usual, I've done nothing today.. Ordered tea in about an hour ago, Fried chicken, chips and onion rings. So delicious.
