Lets talk finances..... went in to the bank today for ask for an extension on my loan payback and.... well the woman as good as laughed at me then slapped me with a wet fish. "Sorry Ms Williams, we will be unable to extend your payment date. However we can offer you a.... (thunder/lightening sound effects) CREDIT CARD" AAAAAAAARGHHHHH as you hear me go running out the bank, twitching and then I realised... Not only am I turning 20 this year so I really should start acting like an adult but I AM TURNING INTO MY MOTHER!
Now I've spent my life hearing my uncles tell my aunties "your acting more and more like your mother everyday" there is no love in my family unless you hurt one of us in which case you will be hunted down and.... well I can't share trade family maffia secrets! At the weekend my parents went away to Ireland and I had to be mummy for my brothers and sister. Towards the end of the weekend I was screaming at the kids for leaving a glass on the floor..... I was getting twitchy seeing a wet towel on the bathroom floor.... AND I came close to massacring them when they... put the loo roll round the wrong way on the holder and it didn't flap over it flapped under and OH MY GOD! I was turning into my mother! And my brother found great pleasure in pointing so out to me.
Was out in the front garden on Sunday doing some gardening with my little bro and these old grannies kept walking past telling me it was lovely that "my son" was helping "his mummy" out in the garden! I DO NOT LOOK OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A 12 YEAR OLD SON OK GRANNY?!
Oh and it got worse.... I looked at the programmes I had set on Sky+ and well... im a geek *sobs quietly into corner* I had set Place in the Sun, Ready Steady Cook, The Office, 60 Minute Makeover, Will & Grace and.... Grand Designs! I AM MY MOTHER!
Then when my parents got back they gave me the Ireland rugby shirt I'd asked for and i went to try it on.... on my return to show mum and dad how cool I looked I walked into the living room to see my dad wearing THE SAME SHIRT! Now we already have matching England rugby hoodies and shirts.... now we have Ireland. We stood next to each other and oh GOD I LOOK LIKE MY FATHER!
So in conclusion...... I look like my dad but with blonder hair, bigger boobs and not so much round the middle! But I act like my mother with less geordie accent, less psycoticness and an ability to keep my mouth shut OCCASIONALLY. Gonna go eat some borbon biccies now and watch 60 minute makeover.... OH SHUT UP!

Blue Rinse
OH MY GOD.....
I woke up this morning, sat bolt upright and realised (drumroll please) I am going to be 20 this year! I remember being 9 at primary school, sat on the benches with Biddy & Alana and saying i cannot imagine being as old as 10... and we all laughed and said could be worse... YOU COULD BE TURNING 20! But oh god.... I am turning 20. What has happened to the last10 years?! I dont think my parents look old enough to have a 20 year old daughter, hell i dont think i look old enough to have parents that are old enough to have a 20 year old daughter!
The kids at the youth club i work at have started calling me "miss"...... when i went in to my mums school to help out they all said "miss williiiiaaaaaammmssss" and "miiiissss" I quickly put a stop to that and said "if you want my help or to talk to me call me emma, if you say miss i will ignore u" It also made me realise how annoying i must have been as a child refering to EVERY teacher as "miiiiiiiisssss" and "siiiiiiir" usually those names were preceeded by the word "oh but....." swiftly followed by "thats not faaaaair i only banged in to her twice cus she grabbed my pigtails and said george fancied me" Which admitidly i think he did, but who could blame him! Always was the early developer was I, first bra at 10, periods at 11.... he excitment of being female hey! And in my defence..... the girl in question was called Emily and we were rivals and well she soooo had it coming!
OH MY GOD..... wait a sec if i am 20 this year.... and 10 years has already gone so quickly.... oh shit im going to be 30 soon! OH NOOOOOOO! Once again que primary school flashback - do you remember sitting with your mates guessing the first names and ages of teachers? No just my group then oh well... we did do that and when we guessed 30 we'd all giggle and say if we were that old we'd die.... OH I HOPE I DON'T DIE. Obviously we all die eventually but you know what i mean.
Does this mean i should start using anti-wrinkle cream now? Should i not drink/eat anything after 6pm? Should i take up an aromatherapy course and refer to kids as "youngsters"? Does this mean i can join the bingo club...? Is my life as good as over? Should i buy one of those plastic hats old women wear when they go shopping in the rain? OH MY GOD DO I HAVE TO START WEARING GRANNY PANTS?!
Its tough being old.... i think my back hurts.... arthritis is setting in... BLUE RINSE BRING IT ON! Im off for a rest and a cup of oveltine....

Hmmm....
Well.... how to begin?! This blog is an attempt to (just like i did with msnspace, myspace, faceparty etc) keep people quiet by me signing up for another thing i will forget to use!
Hmm... not sure what to say. I am at home in Winchester, Hampshire (South England before anyone makes any blonde "isnt that abroad" related comments which do unfortunatly happen) and i am incredibly bored! Start work tomorrow at my old place, screaming children, £40 a day and free entry to cinema/theme park/other stuff cannot really complain i suppose.
I guess it is nice to be home, the weather is slightly more normal than up in Lincoln! How British of me to bring up the weather! It's just that in Lincoln a normal weeks weather consists of gale force winds, snow, hail, sleet, torrential downpours, freezing temperatures and the bluest clearest sky you have ever seen! Makes me feel so hardcore being able to walk around "down south" now with just jeans and a t-shirt on while everyone else moans about the cold and wraps up in fleece and gloves.
I've been a busy girl lately, lots of things going on - fingers in lots of pies (no who ate all the pies comments please) etc etc etc..... Had quite a lot of coursework due in before Easter, lots of birthdays and excuses for a night out as well as the thing which makes me grin my head off..... Features editor on TheLinc!
Now i will explain a bit about TheLinc cus well.... this is my blog and i want to so neeeer. TheLinc is the brainchild of Daaaaaave who is bless his little cotton socks such a sweetie (some may say too nice to be a journalist, but i know he'd stamp on a small child to get the story so go him!) Basically like most of us he thought "why is there no decent place for students to voice opinions and be incharge of it" so he made us somewhere! I LOVE writing features, so being incharge of an entire section is enough to make me giggle and i am chuffed to have shocked a few people into realising i do actually do some work. Have been doing a bit of research and stuff today getting ready for our "dummy run" when we get back after easter - the excitement of it all!
Right i think that is it for today, anything else would be ridiculas!
