The Fiat Punto

I woke up today to my dad giving me a parking fine that came in the post. Thank you Preston for yet another parking ticket. Goodbye £50.

So i have always wondered what i would do if i had put petrol in the car and then went to pay and my card gets declined. Well today that became a reality. I put £30 of petrol in my car, went to pay and my jaw dropped when he said 'sorry your cards been declined'. I was sure he was wrong so i asked to try again, but it was declined again. OH NO, POOP - that was pretty much my response. It's not like you can just give the petrol back and drive away. Luckily Craig was close by and came to rescue me. But hey you gotta just laugh at yourself when you do embarrassing/stupid things, if i didn't i'd be a mess every day.
Today i am grateful that i can laugh at my own stupidity!



Driving in the countryside with the girls

Neglection and the fall


It is safe to say that i have neglected my blog (sorry to all of you 3 followers that probably don't even check my blog). But I am back. The past three months have pretty much consisted of me living in the library doing assignments. I know everyone said second year of university is rough, but ugh. Good news is i finished my very last assignment of the year yesterday (YIPEE).

So today i celebrated starting with lunch at Nandos with Miss Penelope Marson. And mmmm do i love nandos. So after a good old catch up and tasty food we went for a stroll around the shops, i watched Penny buy lots of nice clothes while i struggled to part with my money.

 I later went teaching with the missionaries tonight and we got to the apointment early so we decided to knock doors. We talked to this student and set up an appointment with him, he seemed way interested so I was excited. 10minutes later we go to the appointment and it is next door to that guys house and some of his friends knocked at his door. As we were about to walk in to the house we heard from next door 'who is it' and the two friends shouted 'its us why arent you opening the door'. The guy opens the door and rants on about how some weird people came to the door and harrassed him about God....when lo and behold we were stood right there....awkward.

During the past 3 months that i have not wrote one of my most embarrassing moments occurred. It definatley earned a place in the top 3....So i get to unviersity and as I pull up i get a text telling me my assignment was due in in 20 minutes, not 2 hours which i thought it was. I hadn't even finished it let alone printed it off. So i ran to the library. I get to the crossing at the main road and speed walk across but in my mad panic I TRIPPED OVER MY OWN FOOT and fell flat on to my face infront of all these cars waiting for me to cross. If that isnt bad enough my shoe flew off and everything fell out of my bag, including the mountain of sweets i had stashed in there. So i sat on the ground gathering all my sweets up, got my shoe and put it back on my foot and did one person ask if i was ok  or help.....no. I may aswell have had LOSER written on my forehead. But the good news is I did get my assignment in on time (well one minute late).
