Last week i went to meet my Brighton friend in Birmingham as its half way between both of us. We were staying in a travelodge that from the outside looks like its right next to the bull ring there fore it is going to be in a good location however when you look more closely its actually next to some rough looking buildings ha but not to worry.
The first day mainly consisted of coffee, shopping and more shopping, i ,love shopping in Birmingham apart from the annoying chuggers or charity muggers who keep coming up to you and the actual beggers asking me for some money to get a cup of tea, how selfish considering i hadn't even had a cuppa myself!
then there is those annoying love film people yes those ones who ask you how old you are, i just say im 16 just to see the look on their faces.
Later on we decided to go and look at the market, which i really wish i hadn't ! i walked to one stall and noticed what looked like horses legs and hooves on top of the counter and to my horror further down there was heads, goats heads to be precise! the way the eyes looked made me feel ill and before i looked at anything else i just started running and running until i got outside, i just had to get out because it made me feel so ill!
in the evening we went in search of an all you can eat Chinese, we realised our hotel is just round the corner from loads of Chinese places but they all looked a bit run down so we didn't dare set foot in them, instead we opted for one round the corner which upon entering realised it looked and was set up like a work canteen, but at 10 pound for all you can eat chinese including not so chinese puddings we couldn't turn it down, it looked quite tasty but on closer looks after we had paid we realised there wasn't a lot on offer so i settled for black bean chicken, noodles, chips and various other bits, the best bit was the not so chinese puddings which were mainly chocolate based.
the next day we set out to find the mailbox but when we go there realised it wasn't so good at all, we then carried on walking and ended up walking all done the canals, not actually in the water of course ha. it was really nice down there, we then found broad street where all the bars are, and ended up in Birmingham's answer to the city in London, which looked very posh. This all brought us back to the bullring and we realised we had gone round the longest way ever.
We decided later on to go to selfridges champage bar, mainly as it was a Thursday night offer as we couldn't have afford to go there any other time! upon arrival we noticed everyone was just sat casually drinking bottles of moet at 5 in the afternoon, how crazy and there was some event going on at the other end of the bar, it was a far cry from scunthorpe! i had a French martini and a cosmopolitan which were both Delicious and for one night only i actually felt quite posh. it was so good, i want to go back again!
after all that posh stuff we went back to reality and went to pizza hut ha bit of a difference, after a chicken supreme and a coke it was time to investigate the chinese quarter,
We desicovered it was the same place as the chinese run down restaurants and to our surprise it all comes alive at night and there was loads of posh looking bars, we couldn't believe it, we went in one bar and realised it didn't live up to the expectations of the champagne bar so went back to the hotel for a sing song to oasis instead!

gaymers at 7am V festival 2012
Well I could write all about the bands and who was good and what I thought about them but that would take forever and frankly I can't be bothered so...
V fest was the first festival I have ever been to infact I haven't even been camping before so I had no idea what to expect! By the time we got there after a 7 hour journey to Chelmsford the site was full so we had no choice to set up next to the toilets, which started off fine but later on turned out to be abit of a nightmare as I found out in the middle of the night...toilet doors constantly banging at 5 in the morning isn't the best thing ever!
I realised people at festivals are quite unique, I mean who goes to sleep at 5am then gets up at half 6 all ready for the day and sat drinking gaymers apple and cherry cider. It is pretty crazy, speaking of crazy we had a crazy and annoying tent neighbour called Becky, who just from listening from my tent I found out all about her sex life or lack of it, her cats name, the countries she has been to and the fact she's gods gift to men! So when I saw her I was quite surprised as she was far from this. We was sat outside one day and she came up to us and asked us if we had any food or drink for her to have, what the hell! She then proceeded to drink whiskey with cider( our cider) and carried in taking about her sex life, she had gone to v fest with 2 guys who clearly seemed fed up and losing the will to live with her, I ended up getting to know one of her male friends who seemed really nice at first, but I won't go into details but put it this way you don't go to v fest to meet your future husband!
I find the people funny who shout Alan Alan Alan all the time but don't find it as funny at 5 in the morning!
Another funny thing or not so funny thing depending on how you look at it is the incident yes incident that happened to cher Lloyd, we was watching her, not that I wanted to watch her but never mind anyway she was talking about how it's not very nice for people to throw wee at her and about 5 minutes later she was singing another song and then stormed off the stage like a 14 year old that hasn't been followed by Harry styles for the 103 time, it turned out someone clearly had not listened to her request and had gone and thrown a bottle of urine at her again, someone clearly had it in for her that day, Im not a fan of Cher but no one deserves that.
At one point during the weekend I was walking around and found this short cut between stages and came across these toilets which were like actual toilets and I thought it was too good to be true turns out it was as I later found out this was VIP area or something ha.
During the weekend there was several celebs out and about most in the village but some were spotted in the main arena, the thing is you could walk right past them and wouldn't notice as there is that many people, how crazy is that.
On the last night I wanted to see snow patrol and the killers but my friends didn't so I went on my own, I thought it would be scary but amongst all the crowd it didn't matter at all and there was some people on their own as well. Snow patrol were amazing as usual, and the killers were really good,their set was quite eerie almost and Brandon spoke litter words but I think this adds to the effect they was trying to create, singing along to mr bright side with about 50,000 people was the highlight of my weekend.

Isle of wight
My uncle and auntie live in the isle of wight and as we had not been in a few years we decided to go stay for a week.
Now I could write about how beautiful the island is and how nice the scenery is but for one thing I can't be bothered and for another it would be pretty boring!
So il just give an overview of the week
One day we went to ventnor, the home of. Pub called the spyglass where Russell brand and Robert pattinson have been spotted in the past.
Sandown is not so celeb style it is more like Blackpool and I wouldnt go again!
Cowes is a really popular place and we went for cowes week which is the most
popular yachting event of the year. I have decided I want to be a sailers wife ha.
There was also some really beautiful boys there
I love the way the whole island feels like it has stayed in the 50s and I love the laid back lifestyle it really is nice.

Race for life
Better late than never I have finally got round to posting this!
On the 29th of July 2012 I went to Hull to do race for life, which if you don't know is a 3 mile run or walk across hull. I was doing race for life on my own but it didn't matter as there was lots of other people on there own too. I was totally unprepared for this race as I had given up running a while back and started cycling instead but cycling wasn't going to help me in this race! Just before the race started a man shouted out that everyone had to be in different start points according to whether they would be running jogging or walking the race, at this point no one knew what was going on so I stayed in the one I was in which turned out to be the one for serious runners ha oh dear. So anyway the claxon went and off we went, I started running for about a minute then realised I couldn't do it so walked, I switched between running and walking for most of the race. My mum and my friend was there to watch me. Whilst taking part I kept reading the backs of peoples tops and it was quite emotional seeing all the messages and dedications to loved ones, people were running for so many different reasons and I found it emotional seeing how cancer can affect so many people and families.
The 3 mile race seemed to be at least 10 miles and it was a really hot day! By the end of it I was getting tired and when I reached the end I thought I would have to do another lap! Luckily that was the finish line even though there was no one cheeri bit was a bit of a strange feeling.
But when I realised I had finished I did feel really good and thinking this time last year I couldn't even get up the stairs I realised I had come so far in a year.
The next couple of days my muscles ached like I had done a Marathan ha but never mind I will definitely be doing it next year
