It's the last day of the month tomorrow is April the 1st and I'm getting ready for all the pranks that are bound to be played on me!


Hello! I have now got 16 'friends' on myspace which is getting somewhere towards catching up with Birdy (not that I'm competitive you must understand!) so join me and help me have more friends! Tee Hee!

Been doing all sorts already today, I got my essay results back yesterday from the OU and they were better than I expected so that was grand - celebrated in the evening with a trip down the pub and some chinese food! Got some more catching up work to do at the moment but ran out of paper yesterday with which to take notes so had to buy some this morning!

FNT tonight and I'm doing the warm up game - which is probably going to be a quiz or something I probably should start doing that! Anyhoom better get on, have a grand day whatever you are doing! God Bless...

My printer is dying :( well hopefully I'm getting a new one as the other office PC is being connected to the photocopier!


What a lovely morning it is, the birds are singing outside of the church office window and I am ready to go to the college (via the post box to post my financial OU form thingy!). It's going to be very exciting today - double technology which has at last changed from textiles to the slightly more bearable home ec! Hurrah! Then it's my 'favourite' art lesson again - which to be honest wasn't too bad on Monday. The rest of the day will be spent reading the media audiences book and taking notes and doing a first draft plan for my next essay (oh the joy!).

Yesterday was ok, my foot is hurting a lot and I now have some super strength painkillers and a cool gel thing to rub onto the ankle! I did get a sixth of the work I need to do over the next two weeks done OU wise so that was good. Crusaders went ok last night, I was kinda spaced and they weren't half noisy but it was the last one of the term so that was to be expected. Anyhow, better go otherwise these lads wont get support! God Bless...

Striking sausages sizzled silently stepping sure-heartedly & surreptitiously slowly!


Well we're on strike today at the school (actually it's not me personally but it has given me some time off) and so I'm back doing a few bits of web editing before doing some hardcore office/kitchen cleaning and getting some OU work done and then going on to Gatehouse which IS open and working with the reception class and doing the after school singing club!

Anyhow I'm starting to get friends on my myspace which is nice. I thought I might be a tad lonely!

Also have just finished filling in all the paper work for the OU financial support which has taken ages to get together. Just a matter of sending it off and waiting for the to ring telling me I've got something wrong!

Better get moving, offices don't clean themselves! God Bless...

Feeder rocked - and by that I mean that they rocked. I wonder if I mentioned the fact that they rocked?!


Well I am nearly recovered from last weeks gig (bar the ankle injury!) and I enjoyed myself imensely! In fact both the days were very nice - the train journeys, meeting up with Helen and going to Camden, meeting up with Ally and seeing Feeder at Hammersmith, going to the Tate the next morning and drinking starbucks hot chocolate at waterloo station!

The gig really was grand, GLC got the crowd going with such classics (?!) as Your Mums Got a Pen*s, and Your Misses is a Nutter! They were very amusing - much more so than I thought they would be, especially having read a horrific review of one of their live gigs in a paper the week before. All credit to them, they got the crowd going and got us ready for the band!

Feeder themselves were as always on top form, they played a good mix of old and new tracks ranging from live classics such as Descend and High, to future single Lost and Found (coming out later this month). The highlights though must have been a cracking version of We Must Rewind, the fantastic Just the way I'm feeling, and Just a day! There was lots of other great stuff as well, shatter, come back around and buck rodgers to mention a few. I also bought myself a red feeder t-shirt - hurrah! Tis rather groovy :)

Since the gig I have been doing loads, sorting stuff out, friday night talk, mothers day drama and talk, and a fantastic Renascent band practice for the gig on the 22nd (which is going to be INCREDIBLE). Wrote a new song on Friday called Evil Cat and it's a bit of a cracker, we've stuck it at the end of the set - it's got screamo in it and otherwise I can't sing after it!

Anyhow I've got some stuff that I'd better get going (though tommorrow morning the school is closed due to strikes so I've got some time then to!)! God Bless...

I will post and tell about Feeder very soon...promise!


Been more than a tad busy since I got back and I have also damaged my ankle from jumping about at the gig! Oh well!

Feeder tommorrow! I am really ever so excited!


It is indeed Feeder tommorrow, and along with that I hope to do all sorts of other groovylicious stuff - meeting with Helen for Lunch, meeting Ally for the gig, visiting the Tate, and National Galley - ooh twill be lovely!

The other exciting news is that I am sorting out my CV in aiding part of my job for next year, tis also quite exciting. Anyhow, I've got a cake to bake! God Bless...

Sky Television is now installed...


I spent most of yesterday evening channel flicking through the wealth of channels that are avalible to me (which is surprisingly huge)! I discovered some of the most ridiculous shopping channels, classicFM tv (which has to be seen to be mocked), a huge number of Christian TV channels - all with odd people speaking very loudly and quite scareily, and then I blocked a load of channels (yeah guess which ones they were!).

Anyhow, I have now planned tonights gameshow for FNT (which I can exculsivly reveal will be a version of Blind Date!), I am getting ready for the 7's Rugby final in the commenwealth games, which is in approximately 25 minutes and features England V's New Zealand! I am a converted 7's fan (it's all thanks to BBC multiscreen I can now get on sky!).

Anyhoo, later I'm thinking of getting back to work on the new BFT site - the main problem is waiting for all the grpahics and bios I need from all the guys, also hoping to get some sound clips on the site and I really want to organise a Summer event (evening somewhere) for all the artists to come and perform live together and do a live CD - would be great!

So there! That's it. I'm going to get 'mentally pschyed' for the rugby! God bless...

Six days to feeder, around six hours to sky! Oh hurrah life is working in sixes!


Sat printing some 'reality tv' articles out, and listening to some music on napster (my playlist is starting to play all the music I quite like now - hurrah!). Looking forward to Sky - really want to watch the commonwealth games on multiscreen (why bother with the swimming when you can watch the 7s?). And so on the printer queue is the commonwealth games multiscreen palnner, which is making life very exciting.

All sorts going on in the last few days, still not completely clear of gunkness, but am getting on as best I can - got a meeting with Steve Jones this afternoon after being at DCC, yesterday I did some OU work and Crusaders, and on Tuesday the second singing club went tremendously well (they sang!) and it was fun in DCC and at Gatehouse.

Anyhow, my printer is taking forever, so I am going to listen to some rocking music and do some dancing before I go to DCC. God Bless...

Still not grnad but getting on, might as well - being ill is just plain boring!


Sorting out some bits and bobs with my mug of flu-plus and computer! Hope to do some website work this week on BFT.org.uk and on a number of different artists/bands sites that have joined in the last few weeks - Got a nice solid backbone for the project now which is great - therefore a much better site and a number of good band sites are required!

Cool stuff coming up this week, got the second singing club tomorrow at Gatehouse, sky being installed in the flat on Wednesday, and a trip to London with the school on Saturday! All that and there is only 9 days until London and Feeder! Oh I am a tad excited!

Anyhoo, I'm going to get on! God Bless...

Upside and Downside, it's all good in the end though, can't really complain too much, just hope upside continues to be on top!


Upside - Fantastic Soul Exeter yesterday, got to hang out with Matt, Pip, Haley, Nick, Robert, David and Nadine, 10 days till Feeder and my London trip (2 DAYS OFF!!!), grand church service this morning, listening to nice new Almost Elliot CD, just finished my TMA to send off tomorrow morning!

Downside - my cheeks feel swollen, got a bad back, a headache and a blocked up nose - yes the dreaded synisis (sp?) is back with avengence!

Oh well, I shall get some sleep. Really can't do with being ill at the moment - there is far too much to do! God Bless...

I heard Feeder's new single 'Lost and FOund' and think that it is jolly good! I have the money ready to buy it!


Good evening, I am writing on my blog tonight mainly as an avoidance tactic to doing my media essay, which is going well but making me quite nervous! So far I have sorted the conclusion the introduction and begun padding out the main content, but it's really odd writing it in the correct tense and making sure you use the correct referecing system (which is unlike anything I used at school or at SWYM!).

Had some fun days this week, we had a new head teacher picked for the school - the right candidate in my oppinion - so that's good news. Also launched a singing club for reception aged children at Gatehouse on Tuesday after school which was brilliant fun, and we had the last leg of our winter olympics at Crusaders tonight (along with the '59th' part of Daniel!).

Anyhow, essay writing looms. God Bless...

I had one of the best days ever, it was so much fun and really groovy!


Yesterday begun early but it was super grand, I went into Exeter to meet Nadine for a cooked breakfast at Boston Tea Party. Then I had my Open University tutorial which was fantastically grand at the CCI building. Then travelling back to Dawlish had a bit of a band practice and watched Mr&Mrs Smith with Dave, Pete and Alex.

All in all quite superb. Any how I've got to go to church, so God Bless...

This morning I am mainly frabbling! There is much to frabble about, I shan't frabble too much though, other wise I might become a frabbler, and I wouldn't want to be a frabbler!


Lots going on at the moment, have a work experience student from the Princes Trust coming over next week, Exeter C.U. this afternoon, Friday Night Takeaway tonight (where I'm not doing the talk or the game - which makes it twice as nerve-racking!), and then tommorrow I have my first O.U. Tutorial for which I need to do 16 hours worth of reading and work before (yes half term is a minger - put me a week behind!)! Anyhow, it shall all happen and everything shall be super grand!

Also got a band practice tommorrow which is cool. I have been practicing the songs, working out some vocal harmonies for stuff as well and I think it'll be a grand rehersal! Looks like we have our next gig booked for Exminister in about a months time so we're working on a good set of 9-10 songs including a few covers.

Finally the most exciting news is that I have a date booked for sky installation!!!! 14 days till I have more than four channels and I can watch the new series of CSI. To celebrate I am looking at buying a new DVD recorder! Then I can record all the great programmes that are on whilst I am college and working in the evenings and watch them when (as often I find) boring stuff is on in the afternoon!

Anyhoo, things to do! God Bless...

Jeeves has been fired - how awful! What other icons will we see changed?! Will Ronald leave McDonalds?! Will Sky Blue Sam no longer be at Coventry City?! Has life as we know it changed forever?????!!!!!


Good morning, and what a lovely cold, snowy morning it is as well! I have been out this morning taking some photos which has been great fun - and suprisingly some of the results haven't been to bad. It's even lead me to consider once again having a gallery section on the site with some of my best photos on it - twould be nice!

Had a grand pancake party last night, and got ash wednesday services this evening - that'll be after putting some serious study hours in and doing Crusaders! Oh well, it's all great fun! God Bless...
