Mum's Birthday!

On the 23rd February 2010 it was my Mum's Birthday!
We celebrated it by spoiling her rotten, going to visit my Grandma in hospital, watching movies and having a big buffet tea and just generally messing about!
It was a good day!
And she loved all her presents!
I bought her 9 books, because she's a major bookworm, a recipe book, a vase and a big bouquet of Orange and White flowers!
She deserves to be spoilt!
 

Cam & Dan's Party!

As of 22nd February 2010...

Argh, these last two weeks have been... eventful to say the least.
Firstly, my Grandma was admitted into hospital on the 11th February and was then diagnosed with terminal cancer on Monday the 15th February. My Family are totally crushed, and shocked because it all seems so sudden. 

Secondly, I had been saving up since mid December 2009 and finally purchased my brand new television. It's full 1080p HD, 22", LG and beautiful. I can actually read the words on the screen instead of having to squint up at a 12" tv, but unfortunately, haven't really been at home or in the mood enough to enjoy it!

And Finally, I've spent the majority of my time in and out of hospital visiting my Grandma, and that's about it, I feel like i've been in a very long daydream over the last 2 weeks... I don't really remember much of it at all apart from the bad things... I think it's the shock of the news and the upset to be honest... I feel like i'm just co-existing....

I was really nervous on Friday, which is going to sound strange, considering the reason I felt nervous was because I was going to a Party... It was a joint 18th Birthday Party, for my two good friends Cameron and Daniel. It was at the New Inn, in Oadby and to be honest, despite a few setbacks, it was a good night.
I was nervous because it's the first time in two weeks, since hearing the news about my Grandma, that i'd been around more than 5 people at a time that weren't Family... I was scared that I was going to burst into tears if anyone asked me about it, or what i'd been up to recently. In the end it wasn't too bad, I was ok when I was there, if not a little drawn back and quiet sometimes...

It was all good at first, until the creepy barman threw us all out because some people were underage and drinking... and some of the "of age" people were buying drinks for them. After being kicked out we all walked around trying to find somewhere to go... some people went to the Fox and got kicked out for having no ID, some people went to the Black Dog and some people went to get food at Pizza Mondo. Most of us went along for something to eat, whilst Scott and I and other friends waited outside, we heard shouting from inside and witnessed a very close call of a fight happening, which shocked us all to be honest.
Luckily no-one was hurt, but it was quite scary at the time...
Not sure of the full story, but what I do know all sounds a bit silly.

After that we waited around for a while then Scott, Tara, Kurt and I went to Wetherspoons and met up with Cam, Amy, Akash, Josh, Sam, Andy, Tom and a few other people. We all went back to Tom's after that, had some drinks and food, watched Old School and Layer Cake then went to bed.
It was lovely falling asleep in Scott's arms for a change, and waking up laying next to him with his arms around me. I felt safe and happy, I didn't feel so scared and crushed, which felt like a big thing for me.

On Saturday morning, Scott and I walked from Wigston to Oadby at 9:30am, went to ASDA, bought some Croissants, Crepes and Orange and Mango Juice and had a nice breakfast back at his house, I got picked up by Dad at half eleven, went to the bank for a meeting, picked my Auntie Sandra up and we all went to the hospital to visit Grandma... she seemed good, a bit more colour in her cheeks, happier, smiling... she just wants to come home. Which hopefully, she'll be able to do next Monday (22nd) :)

It's my Mum's birthday on Tuesday 23rd, which I'm SO excited for. I've spoiled her rotten! Can't wait to see her reaction to the gifts i've bought her and the cakes i'm going to bake :)
We're going to have a buffet tea with birthday cake and pavlova. I can't wait!

I know this has been a bit long, but I guess sometimes writing about things is easier than speaking about them... sometimes I just don't know how to voice what I feel... 
Write Soon :) x

The Good Times and The Bad.

I realised today that I hadn't blogged since the 5th of February, it's now the 16th...
I guess I've just had other things on my mind...
I celebrated Valentines Day and my 6 Month Anniversary with Scott yesterday.
It was lovely, we had a perfect day.
We met up at ASDA and went shopping for dinner stuff, we had chicken and cheese wraps for lunch, then we played Warioware on the DS, we then went for a walk into the village and bought some Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream and some Vimto Bon-Bons, then Scott treated me to a lovely Hot Chocolate at Wetherspoons!!

Scott also bought me Coyote Ugly on DVD, which I love, and a really nice card!
And the most gorgeous teddy bear :)

I bought Scott, Shooter, a teddy bear and some chocolate hearts :)

When we got back to his house we played Call of Duty 4 on the DS then went upstairs and watched When Harry Met Sally, which was lovely!
Later, we had our Chinese Banquet for 2 with a glass of Carribean Twist: Pina Colada!! It was amazing.
I spent 13 hours with him and still missed him when I left....

Unfortunately, when I got home, my Dad had some bad news for us...
My Grandma's hospital scan results had come back and they had found a cancerous tumour in her Liver... and when her second lot of scans came through they found that she also has breast cancer in both her breasts and also a cancerous tumour under her diaphragm, which means the cancer has spread around her body and there's very little they can do.
So naturally, i'm absolutely devastated, and I feel sick... and I don't want her to die ='(

I was meant to get my brand new LG 1080p 22" flat screen TV today, which i've been looking forward to for ages. We went to Richer Sounds to buy it, but they were out of stock, so they've taken my name and number and are going to give me a call when they come back in stock, which hopefully will be with tomorrow's delivery. It's a shame it wasn't in stock... I really wanted something to take my mind off of what's happening to be honest...

Dear John....

Tonight, I watched the trailer for the upcoming film called Dear John, which was originally written by the author of The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks.
The trailer made me cry and the film looks brilliant.
Which means I now have to buy and read the book before it is released in May!!
"It's a full moon tonight, which makes me think of you... half a World away..."

 
"Dear John.... I miss you so much it hurts"
