So I haven't posted in a while and whilst I sit in cover for phse I have nothing to do so why not write a blog post?!  How have all of you guys been? How is work or school treating you? Sixth form has such a huge workload compared to gcses it's insane!!! I have near enough 4 hours of homework everyday which sucks. But apart from that I am really enjoying it as you can walk around school without the teachers asking where you are going and you can skip the lunch queue!!!!! Although, in other news, I have 2 job interviews yay!! One next Wednesday and one on Thursday. I have one for Rymans (a stationary shop for guys that don't know what it is) which is a Saturday job and one for a Christmas worker at Debenhams (a department store). This will be my first ever job interview so I am so nervous but I am praying that I get the Rymans job as I can then fuel my love for stationary at a discount! If I get the job I am pretty sure I would run around my house like this (just not naked):...

So yesterday was my birthday yay! I turned 17 and I had a lovely day with family over. At the weekend I also had loads of my friends over for a sleepover in a tent in my back garden and we danced and chatted and played twister etc. It was one of my favourite birthdays I have ever had and I was going to share with you what I got because I love to look at these too (just as a note I am not boasting I am merely showing you what I got for your entertainment as I'm a bit nosey and like to see what people got too)! To start off with, from my best friend that I have known since I was an ickle girl I got some beautiful smelling shower and body cream from a quite fancy looking brand called Mandara Spa. I also got some really cool earrings, a bracelet and a book that looks really cool. It's a novel about crime and murder so I can't wait to read that as I am going to New York soon so it is perfect for the plane!  Next, from a wonderful girl called Ami who I have known since p...

So I have now started school as a sixth former (idk what that is in any other country but for ease, I'm turning 17 in this school year) and thought I would tell you guys about it to see if it's comparable to your first days or this may help you prepare for your first days.  So I go to school in London and I went to the same high school as I do sixth form and apart from Maths (bc my Maths teacher has A4 Maths books lying around that no-one uses), you have to bring paper everyday. Also, you have to buy all your own textbooks and these are not cheap!! My Science ones alone were £20 each and my Maths ones are £14 each (I need 3 of these as well). So that's not shy of £80, just on textbooks! Let alone clothes for sixth form as my school has a stupid dress code and all of the other things I need like folders, stationary, bag etc lets just call it around £200 on school stuff if we're being generous.  That is an insane amount of money and that's before we've even bega...
