Ooopssss...
... due to not changing to the new version of Blogger my posts haven't been posting, so now I have updated the system all my posts will finally be visible. So I apologise for the three posts all together and hope to return to post again soon.

Well...
... yet again it's been a long time since I last did this. I think this is becoming a reoccuring theme. So what has happened since the last time I posted a blog?
Not a lot is what. Although it is my birthday this upcoming weekend so I have pretty much spent an entire week having birthday outings. Monday my gorgeous fiance took me out for a delicious meal after saying farewell to his nana until Christmas. Tuesday my nana took me shopping for the day, which again involved munching at a lovely chinese buffet in Wolverhampton. Wednesday I ventured into the good old town of Dudley where I once again had dinner out with my nana. And tonight I am venturing over to my dads with my wonderful other half to eat out again for my birthday. Tomorrow is party buffet with the mother and granparents, followed by my actual birthday on Saturday which involves (as far as I can tell from what I've been told) another meal out followed by a surprise. I was supposed to be cutting down, but with all these people throwing food at me I think I shall be waiting until I am back at university.
On the university note, this Sunday we venture upto Derby to move into the new house. Ashleigh and I will finally be living together without all the travelling between houses and sleeping under different roofs at varies points in the week. I am super excited about moving in together. We shall also be living with two of my friends from university, Kat and Damien. So these other names may be occuring on this page more regularly as time goes on.
I am currently waiting for Ash to return from work so that we can later head over to my fathers and begin the celebrations. I, being the eager beaver that I usually am when going anywhere, am already dressed with hair and make up done. Lets note that Ash doesn't finish work until 6, hence the return to posting at such a time as this. I will try to post again sometime next week once the new house has had the broadband installed and will tell you all about my birthday surprises and the big move.

What...
... on earth has taken me so long to update this blog??!!
Well in all honesty, I have no excuse; I still don't have a job and have plenty of spare time on my hands.
Ashleigh and I celebrated our first year together on Saturday cuddled up in bed watching a film with a children's pick 'n' mix from Tesco. Nothing more fun than acting like children filling a tub full with fattening sweets. The year we have spent together has flown by, but I feel like we've been together forever and I've loved every minute that we've spent together.
Being back home has been a little bit weird with nothing to do except read, read and read, with the occasional bit of shorthand thrown in for good measure. Who knows, by the time I start back at University in September I'll have read a library worth of books and achieved 60 wpm in shorthand.
The diet has also begun! By Christmas I am hoping to have lost atlest 4 stone. So here we go! Here's hoping that if I lose the weight know I'll avoid the unnecessary diet during the wedding planning in a couple of years time :)
Well considering I have numerous blogs to update I should probably get around to doing so rather than writing more here and watching Don't Tell the Bride.

About time...
that I blogged again...
To say I have no job and not tonnes of work to do over the summer why do I feel so damn stressed? No more travelling backwards and forwards from Dudley to Derby to Mansfield and back again now that my work experience is complete. So why does my head still feel like it has a thousand and one things to think about?
Money! Money is thin on the ground after the first year at university, with even more money leaving the account to pay rent on a new house. Guess I'm not eating for a while; good job I've started my diet. Probably about time I did considering the 3 and a half stone I need to lose.
I sit here now in the quiet carriage on the train contemplating how on earth I can find a job that isn't on a voluntary basis. I officially can't afford to just help oput in hospitals and do weekly radio shows and what not.
On a much brighter side I feel so much more confident about myself after finally writing and recording voicers with few or none criticisms (even if it did take all morning). Over the last four weeks I've come a long way from the university student that turned up worried about interviewing strangers and scared of answering the phone.
Soon I will be home for the summer (right after the stress of Birmingham New Street to catch a connecting service- http://kellymariereviews.blogspot.com/2011/06/trains.html). Shopping tomorrow with the Grandmother; I say shopping, its more of lunch and wandering around town window shopping due to the lack of funds.
I am currently waiting for the return of my beloved companion... my laptop. I need to blog more regularly because at present I am writing in a Pukka Pad with my precious pen from Paperchase (by the way, I absolutely love stationary).
I would try to continue writing for the rest of my journey to New Street but considering I'm already starting to waffle I best stop before I lose like the whole three people who occasionally read the crap that I write.

Finally...
... the first year of University is over, it's been less than 8 months since I moved into halls last September and it has gone so quickly.
I'm officially moving back home next week for the summer. Happy times! I guess 8 months away from somewhere you realise how much you miss it, even Dudley. After spending the last 20 years of my life trying to escape it's evil grasp on my life I return this summer looking forward to the sixteen weeks or so that I'll be back.
There is a great vision in my head of spending sixteen weeks doing very little, going on daytrips, a holiday maybe, etc... Unfortunately being a student at present there is no luxury in this holiday as I need to find a job and quick. Although my Tuesdays are taken up with doing radio work experience at Mansfield 103.2, I need to find a way of making some money to save as my darling other half and I shall be living together in September, in Derby (with Damien and Kat). To top off the work experience and needing paid work, I also have to do Shorthand at intervals over the holiday in an attempt to actually remember what the hells going on with it. So a lot of revision and around 20 or so dictation pieces to practise. Fun times.
On a completely different note, I am currently without my precious laptop as the stupid piece of crap has a loose connection or something and will just not turn on. Blogging looks like it will be taking a backseat for a while until my precious social networking tool returns. I shall blog if and when I can (mainly by stealing Ashleigh's laptop, like now).
During the Christmas holidays I decided it would be a brilliant idea to relive my youth and read the famous Harry Potter books. I just could not get into the stories as a child (I owned 1,3 and 4 for some reason), so I tried again at Christmas to read The Philosopher's Stone and actually read the whole damn thing. Over Easter I read The Chamber of Secrets after borrowing it from the library, and last week I read Prisoner of Askaban and began The Goblet of Fire. Its actually shocking how different the books are compared to the films, it really is like "where the f**k did the film come up with this from, it's completely different to the book." And may I say, the books are actually so much batter than the films, picturing some of the scenes in my head and imagining them say stupid little things have actually been making me laugh outloud (while Ash sits there giving me a look that is questioning my sanity).
Speaking of Ashleigh, he finishes his third year of Architecture Thursday, but is currently stressing to get his work printed in time, even as I type this he's in a long queue waiting for his work after disappearing into Studio at half 8 this morning.
I believe it is time for me to return to my book (only 140 pages or so of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire left to read and I can begin on Order of the Pheonix). Over and out x

Reading...
... the Harry Potter collection and no I'm not too old.
I've seen the films and thought I shall read the books, considering people say they are better than the films. I agree. I simply couldn't put the first two books down, and I'm now about a third of the way through the third one.
I never gave the books a chance really when I was growing up. Although I did buy the first, third and fourth books. But finally I'm setting down to read them in order, and am thoroughly enjoying each book so far.
Ideally I should be reading books which will help me complete my law essay, but defamation and the defences doesn't sound as enthralling as Divination and Tranfiguration. I know which subjects sound more exciting to me.
Off I go to read some more of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban before bed. Goodnight.

Here we are again...
... writing another blog entry, shock, two days in a row.
As if Ash and I got up this morning to walk to Swindon, across the canal and then back to his. Around about 10 miles in total, a good start to the getting fit campaign we have going now. Shame now all he wants to do is eat. Even though we set out about twenty to ten this morning and didn't get back til around quarter to two it was a nice walk. We even stopped for a nice fresh sandwich from the bakery in Swindon, which was quite scrummy.
As you can imagine my feet now kill from walking and the silly trainers I was wearing, but I've had a cold shower and have watched Glee for the last 40 minutes or so. Very good times. Ideally I should now do some university work or atleast write a functional blog on my reviews page but I'm just so chilled right now cuddled up under the duvet in Ash's bed while he does work again. Speaking of Ash and bed (don't get any ideas, what is about to follow is completely innocent) we changed side of the bed last night and he slept by the wall at his for the first time since we've been together and was really uncomfortable apparently, looks like we may be swapping back again tonight, although I slept like a baby on his side.
After watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs yesterday, we snuggled up to watch Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief which was actually pretty good too. All in all I've watched some pretty good films over the last week or so. May have to find a film for tonights cuddle session.
