Yay! I couldnt wait any longer lol. I took money from my savings account (shhh dont tell anyone lol). Should get it all in the next few weeks
I got the following:
Nikon D40 (with 18-55mm lens kit)
SANDISK EXTREME III SD 4GB CARD
Nikon – EN-EL9 Battery for D40
Hoya 52mm PRO1 Digital UV Filter
Lowepro Rezo 160 Shoulder Bag
SD CARD (2gb) x 2
Card Reader
Some of the stuff isnt for the camera (as i bought 3 SD cards), my digital photo frame seems to be broke so i got a new SD card to put in it lol. Anyway so i cant wait for it to arrive. Hopefully when it arrives ill get some new pictures up asap!
I still have lots of things i want to buy for the new camera but i can ask for a few things for my birthday or for Xmas…or ill just buy them when i get the money. Hopefully ill learn a lot more about photography from the new camera
Oh and also I GOT THIRD ROW SEATS FOR MCFLY! Yay! lol. 25th November at Glasgow SECC. Im going with my friends Heather, and Sam and Sam”s lil girl – Rachel (she is so sweet!). It should be a good concert!
Right id best go lol

Didnt think it had been nearly a month since i wrote! lol Ive been so busy working full time…i forgot how rubbish it is working full time! I liked been a student lol.
This month im sooooo skint! I have my Car Insurance due (£325!) i have my Car MOT, which could cost me a bomb! I then have McFly ticket to buy for friends so that will be about £120 until they pay me back…all to be spent by the end of the money…oh and thats not including petrol for my car, and my phone bill!
I hate how money runs your life sometimes!
Oh and another thing im thinking of buying a new camera…yes i know my Kodak camera is not even a year old but i want to go away from the point & shoot cameras and get a camera with a lens, so i can learn more. I was thinking a Nikon D40, i know there are probs better ones but its the cheapest i can afford cos they are expensive things! Like £280 for the camera and then £140(ish) for a lens! I then have to buy a camera bag, SD card (maybe 8GB) and other stuff to go with it! eek! lol I might try get it before November as my friends wedding is in September and i could get lots of nice pictures of her
Oh and i have a holiday in October which i could get sum pictures of too!
Anyway thats all ive been doing cos ive been working full time! lol. I hate July sometimes cos i always have my car insurance and mot and my brothers birthdays! Its an expensive month! Espcially since i have to pay for it all!

Well i got my marks back for the essay and i passed (with a merit) so that means i should have my HND! Ive passed all the work over the year so i should hopefully in the next month get the official papers from the exam board
yay!
Also i spent all weekend editing the fanlistings! So all 24 fanlistings have been updated with new coding and some with new layouts…im glad i got them all done cos ive been wanting to do that since last year! lol.
Now im just trying to tidy my laptop up a bit. Trying to delete the things i dont need and then i can backup all the stuff i do need onto discs and store them.
I dont have too much to do on my fansites just now. Just pictures mainly but once i get lots of spare time i can sit down and do them. As even though college is over im even busier now lol. It just goes on doesnt it!?!
Right im off to walk the dog and then im coming back to sort out more stuff on my laptop lol.

Well…i still have one essay to get my marks back on…hopefully ive passed. If i have then i will have my HND in Animal Care and Management
YAY! Thank god its all over and done with. Though i will miss everyone at college…apart from one but the rest ill miss.
I was going to open a Photoblog but i dont think i will. I still have too many sites and if i get the job in Chester ill need to close more
Hopefully i can sort out a few things lol
Right well im off to watch tv lol

I think ive wrote here more in the last week than i ever have! lol
Ive been sorting through the sites/fanlistings i have. I deleted Kerry-Katona.com Fanlisting cos even though i love the site its closed now and i dont see the point in keeping the fanlisting open! Franzi has taken Ps I love you and Susan McFadden and ive given away another 5 or 6 fanlistings too. So im down to 24 now. I should really close more but i just love them too much
If i do get the job in Chester im going to be struggling so much and i have a feeling ALL fanlistings will have to go and maybe even KKO and KPC as ill be working 40 hours a week…and ill need to find a flat with internet access so i can update. Its soooo upsetting. Hopefully if i do get the job i can still keep everything. Though i might have to ask more people to help…cos at the minute i have people helping but noone actually updates lol.
So i have 10 fanlistings to make either new layouts for and to change onto headers and footers (which makes it easier to change layouts in the future) and i have KKO and KPC to update when i get time. Ive been trying to do these fanlistings since last year and i still havent done them lol. OOPS

So i applied for a years work placement at Chester Zoo (its about 300 miles from where i live i think) back in January and i got a letter on Monday to go for an interview on Friday. Im dreading it! I hate interviews and it doesnt help that 3 people will be interviewing me. Im dreading that i say something stupid.
I know the job is unpaid and it will be hard to move away from home and go somewhere i dont know, but its such a great opportunity and if i do get the job, its something ive always wanted…working with animals and getting to learn more about their behaviour and lives. Im just so nervous
Ive still got a few things to do for college as well and then thats me finished. Hopefully i will pass and get my HND cos i dont want to fail after all the work ive done!
Oh and another thing….Sam is coming to Paris with me on the 13th June! YAY. Mum couldnt go anymore and so Sam is going to go. Paris wont know what hit it! LMAO.
Hopefully this interview on Friday goes OK cos im nervous already and its only Tuesday!
Wish me luck! …im gonna need all the luck i can get!
