Funniest/Worse trip to Macdo's!

After driving my little sis to meet her dad, I started to moan to mum about getting a Macdo's..!
I knew exactly where the service station was and knew how much time I had to moan about it...this makes me sound awful!!! Also, as I am a student I can get a free cheeseburger or McFlurry with every meal I buy so I knew that that would tempt mum more and it worked...she didn't say she would take me but she started to slow down near the turning!
It was then really busy and she was tempted to turn back onto the main road but I convinced her not to.

Now... we finally got through the drive-thru and instead of a real person it was one of the talky box things...Mum asked me to lean over her to order as she wasn't really sure of what I wanted but the dude couldn't hear me so she had to do it. So mum ordered what I wanted - A sweet Chilli Chicken Deli meal with a strawberry milkshake...then they said they didn't have any milkshake so I ordered a Fanta instead... She then ordered the "Free NUS cheeseburger" (NUS is the card I can use as a student to get discounts in some places) So the dude goes "3 cheeseburgers?" and mum goes "No the FREE cheeseburger" but again he says 3 so mum gets a bit irratated and says "NO the F-R-E-E cheeseburger!" (In England, sadly we get people who can't speak properly and say F instead of TH....my mum is not one of those people!)
So he tells me the price which is a bit above usual but we had to drive to the next bit so I paid. We then got to the next window and the girl gives us a massive bag...mum drives forward as it's busy and I open the bag and see...3 FREAKIN CHEESEBURGERS!!!! So he must have given me one for free and made me pay for two...I was angry! By this time I'd also opened the glove box and rested my drink in the shallow cup-holder... I need to add here that we were in my mum's partner's car... So then I'm angry about the burgers and then as mum pulls out of the McDo's...THE DRINK SPILLS EVERYWHERE!!!!! I was so annoyed but it was hilarious at the same time...Not only did they get my order wrong - I spilled ALL of my Fanta over the car and my feet (I was only wearing flip-flops..!) So it was very amusing and we haven't told Mum's partner as he will freak as his is ocd about cleaning!

And tomorrow is the Royal Wedding!
I wasn't bothered by it until this past week where me and mum have been watching loads of crap documentaries about Wills and Kate! We've even put flags up outside the house!
And we will be up at 8 to watch it from the beginning! So sad..but it will be a massive part of our history if they do get to become King and Queen - Grandpa W reckons they'll be divorced by next year! 
There is also an interesting Drinking Game on Facebook which would be a laugh to do with mum! So I probably won't be able to blog tomorrow ;) ( I am of age by two years in england!)
Have a good day tomorrow whatever you do! =D

A little trip to the hospital..!

Yesterday was my little sister's first day back at school from the Easter Holidays. She was very excited as she loves her school and loves hanging out with her friends.
While she was at school me and mum hung out - I went on a power plate machine (An all over body vibration thing that says a ten minute go on it equals an hour workout!) Then we had lunch and chilled.
When we went to get the sis from school she seemed fine until we were out of earshot from her friends where she started to cry and told us she'd fallen over in the morning... She then couldn't walk so we had to carry her from the car to the house then mum took off her shoes and socks and her ankle was so swollen and bruised it was gross!
So then we took her to A&E where she was very excited to have an X-Ray especially as she got to keep the picture, luckily there were no breaks - she'd just torn one of her ligaments. It's not as swollen today as it was but she isn't at school as mum was worried that if a bigger kid stood on her she'd be to little and scared to get them away! So today we've been playing the Wii (siting on the sofa!) and been snuggled up under the quilt watching telly...Hannah Montana at the moment! (Which sadly I think I'm enjoying it!)
She does keep trying to walk on it though which isn't good so I keep having to carry her everywhere!
I also got a new workout DVD yesterday..I've been losing weight since January and it's going well but since I've been at mum's I haven't been working out as much! The new DVD was rubbish tho! It's a new Ministry of Sound one but it's not as good as the Pump it Up one I've been doing for a couple of months but hopefully I'll get used to it because I'm getting bored of the Pump it up one! But I think mum is giving me some boxing ones which will be coool!

But I have to go because my little sis is being very demanding! And we also have more easter eggs to eat ;)

Today and Yesterday...

So yesterday we had went to watch the step-bro's little St George's day parade - he got to hold a flag which made him happy (He's only8!) Then we got back and had a BBQ where I proceeded to eat until I felt ill...then we all had an easter egg so I then felt even more ill...then me and the little sis started to watch Zombieland with popcorn...so I ate a lot yesterday!
We didn't watch all of Zombieland as she's only 5 and got scared...wooops! I kept telling her that it's only the same as Shaun of the Dead which she loves but she said that those Zombies don't have as much blood on their faces! So then I put Paul on instead which she loved but she then fell asleep so there hasn't been a successful film watched recently!

Today has consisted of the beach where I went in up to my stomach although it was freezing! And there were massive waves that you couldn't get away from but it was fun, I then sunbathed to get dry and we then went to get a Mr B's ice cream from Hayle. I'd not had one before and it was delicious - I had a double scoop one - one side Strawberry Pavlova and the other Raspberries and Cream..it was so good that me and mum are going to have one tomorrow either before or after we have a go on the "Flabelos" power plate exercise machine then eat ice cream, sounds good to me! :D 
So now that we're back from the beach we're watching the Disney channel which I don't normally like but right now it's Phineas and Ferb which I do love..! Although I don't like Perry the Platypus!

Then in ten minutes it's the Dog Whisperer which luckily my sis enjoys if not she freaks if you change her channels to something she doesn't like! Haha the bully just said "I'm not crying..I'm sweating outta my eyes!"
And we're having another BBQ this eve which is good because I'm very hungry! Then I'll probably finish off the popcorn!

My sis has her first day back at school tomorrow but luckily she is excited as she really enjoys school and loves hanging with her friends. I am going with mum to take her which is cool apart from it means that I'll have to wake up early but it's cool cus my sis loves introducing me to her friends!
I have also caught quite a nice tan since being in Cornwall which is a nice bonus and I'm not really looking forward to going back to uni...I keep prolonging my holiday! :D

Family Films!

So as I said in my last blog - I am with my family in Cornwall at the moment. As it was Good Friday yesterday we decided to take a break from playing Just Dance 2 on the Wii and had a look at what films were on!
First we watched Enchanted which I have always loved - I love the whole concept of the film and how it takes the mick out of Princess films whilst still being a Disney Princess film! Watching it was me who is 20, Lauren who is 12, Joel who is 8 and Estie who is 4 and we all enjoyed it and were singing along - a proper family film!
After that was finished, we saw that grease was on on Film4 and we all agreed on it!
My mum loves the film and we could hear her singing along in the kitchen! And we made her come in to sing along to her favourite song..."Stranded at the Drive-In" and then we all started to dance for the last two songs!

Although I did realise how rude Grease is as well and I'm sure they cut some of the film but obviously they couldn't edit the songs but some of those are very rude as well!!


The other night me and Lauren watched Get Him To The Greek and tonight we're going to watch Zombieland which I love!


This is only a short blog today because I'm watching The Dog Whisperer and it's distracting me!!!

Been busy!

So I haven't been blogging much because I'm staying in Cornwall with my mum and sister!
Day 1 of the beach...after this I wore bikini bottoms!
It's been great as the weather is lovely and we've been going to the beach everyday which is sweeeeeet...it's been so hot that me and my little sister have been paddling in the beach!
Although people from hottter countries would probably think it's cold here- it's boiling for us!! I am starting to get a tan =D


We went to the little town of St Ives last night for a meal which was cool - we went to a little restaurant called Caffe Pasta and I had Italian Meatballs and then a lemon tart for dessert! It was really nice and we'd definitely go there again!
The town itself is very busy with lots of tourists but it's such a lovely place and my sis paddled in the sea there but then the tide started to come in really quickly so we left! 


I haven't really had time to watch any films as my sister is 4 so all that is on the telly is Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry! I haven't even read much of my book as we're busy all day and then chill in the night but it's cool and we're trying to arrange a holiday to one of the Isles of Scilly for the summer as mum used to go there when she was young.


I'm sorry if this blog is boring as I haven't watched much and this is different to what it's usually like but I thought I'd let you know why!
Anyway I'm going to stop now as we're going to the beach again!

Get Him To The Greek!

Get Him To The Greek is one of my new favourite films by far, I just watched it for maybe the 5th time in 2 months last night!
If I'm tired or in the mood for a laugh I watch it! I love the combination of Jonah Hill (plays Aaron Green) and Russel Brand (playing Aldous Snow)! Basically Jonah Hill works for P. Diddy at a record label and it's his job to get Russel Brand who is a failed-drug addict-Rock Star who needs to get his gig at the Greek Theatre. The film follows there journey from London to New York to Las Vegas until they get to LA. It's filled with sex, drugs and Rock'n'Roll and a lot of comedy!



 I never liked Russel Brand before but this film has slowly started to change my mind about him, I think it's because his character is how I imagine Brand being when he was on drugs and before being with Katy Perry! Also Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs is in it and he's extremely funny. There are also lots of cameos from other famous people such as Lars Ulrich from Metallica, Christina Aguilera and others! Aldous' girlfriend Jackie Q is also hilarious her singing career consists of singing very rude songs in scantily clad outfits! Although Aldous' songs are very similar and they do actually sing the songs themselves which is cool. No matter how many times I watch it I laugh at every joke even though I know exactly what's going to happen! There are also a lot of funny quotes in the film and the songs are catchy although don't worry, it isn't a musical - they are just the band's songs that are featured all throughout the film.
It is definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it but be ready to laugh... A LOT! If you don't think that any part is funny then I don't know what is funny!


I'm going to catch up with everyone else and watch Kick-Ass soon :)

Marilyn Monroe

Like many others, I am a fan of Marilyn Monroe..I own many things which have her face on it such as puzzles, books, CDs and I have a lot of her DVDS.
I think it all started when I saw Gentlemen Prefer Blondes many years ago...I love it! I love the songs and the characters - I think the dynamic between Monroe and Jane Russel is great! I was just trying to think about which song is my favourite but I can't  actually decide!
My gran then bought me a 3 disc set which included GPB, How to Marry a Millionaire and The Seven Year Itch. I love HTMAM again for its characters and it has a great ending... it makes me laugh everytime! Also, as I wear glasses - I love Monroe's character with her embarrassment to wear her glasses! Seven Year Itch didn't capture me as much as the others but I did still enjoy it.
My gran then bought me Some Like It Hot which is her favourite Monroe film which I really enjoyed because the story is amazing and Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon were so good! But I still always preferred GPB  - maybe because it's the first one I saw so it'll always be my favourite?
The other day I bought 7 Monroe films which included Niagara which I love as it's completely different to what I was used to seeing Monroe do which also goes for Don't Bother To Knock which I really enjoyed!
When I read the synopsis I was a bit apprehensive about it as it said about Monroe being a little bit crazy - not her usual ditzy, blonde and singing self!
I really enjoyed it and thought that she did an amazing performance as the crazed, self harming babysitter! The story itself was really good as her craziness was completely believable as her character lost her partner in the war and she just wanted to have him back and then decides to imagine Jed as her lost Phillip!
If you haven't seen it I really really recommend it as Monroe is amazing and it's just really good!


I need to crack on with watching my other films and I think I will watch River of No Return next as I'm intrigued to see what a Monroe western will be like!
P.s I always call Marilyn Monroe "Mazza" when I talk about her which she probably wouldn't like so I made sure I didn't do it here!
