aww thats sooo lucky!! i havnt booked a holiday yet but i might be going around the end of august so it may be that i dont go until the same sorta time!! but yeah im not sure where i wanna get a job! cos ive done hairdressing and stuff i was gnna have a look at hair salons you no on saturdays and then maybe a bar job on evenings but we'll see cos i dont wanna be working all the time!!
Inoooo i cant wait, ooo right you going on a girls holiday or? we're going to Ayia napa < (think thats how you spell it lol) for two weeks, should be messy HAHA! yeah ive done my hairdressing too but like you said i don't want to be working all the time, as well as studying and PARTYING! will be far to much :wink: recon a bar job sounds good though, think they will have jobs advertised at the uni so it shouldn't be hard to find one :smile:.

noo probably not i went with my friends last year but a lot of my friends are at uni this year so they dont have much money and my best friend is travelling cambodia and thailand all summer so will probably just go somewhere with my boyfriend haha!! but aiya napas good!! i went last year cos my boyfriend lives in cyprus with the army and i went over to see him last summer! might be off this summer if he doesnt get any time off! but yeah i went to malia last year its awesome!!! ohh thats good but yeah i just want a chilled out job that will get me extra pennies for nights out :wink:!! soooo excited for all the flat parties like i plan on having them like every week like pre drinking parties then heading out to town!! did you go to an open day at ucb?
aww that's amazing, my sister has just got back from Thailand, she said it was awesome :smile:. well thats what i did last year, i went to turkey with my boyfriends family, but all my friends went to magga haha, so i couldnt miss going on a girls holiday this year, aww inoo i bet he doesn't get alot of time off :frown:, but when guys from the army are off they get quite alot of time off don't they...
yeahhhhh cant wait for massive flat parties, i havnt heard back from accommodation yet though, ive had an email thats it though, have you?
yeahh i went for an open day months ago, i loved it, my mum went birmingam uni too soo she kind of showed me around haha, have you been for an open day? :smile:

i no shes been skyping me and stuff it looks so cool!! wish i could have gone with her!! yeah i wanna go on girls holiday this year was sooo much fun!!! but yeah he should get like a couple weeks of at some point during the summer! but if not ill like go for like a weekend!!

i noo going to be awesome! noo i havnt heard anything i thought i would have by now! but i did get an email saying they'd be contacted us during may! i just wanna get on and put my deposit down and get on with it haha! im so impatient!
thats sooo lucky that your mum knows Birmingham quite well!! ive only ever been once for the open day!! the course looks sooo good!! and like the whole uni looks cool! and we're gnna be living in the second biggest city!! its so strange to think like usually round here we'd end up paying like £40 on nights out cos wed have like £10 each way taxi just to get to the closed city and now im gnna be living in one like a second away from the main bars and stuff i was soo happy to see how close our accommodation is to everything i thought it might have been really out of the way!! its literally staggering distance from the clubs haa!
aww inooo i wish i could have gone with my sister, she went with her friends family because they have like an apartment there so it was really cheap for my sister, just flights what were expensive, but when you get there its ridiculously cheap, she got me some mac make-up whats usually dear but its like half the prise there:eek:
Yeahh well at least if he doesn't get the chance to come back so you can go on holiday, where he is is a holiday for you when you go there.
ooo right, well i think my email said they would get back in touch in may so i'm sure we will find out soon, its just a waiting game, i hate it, just want to be there now!
ooooh really i didn't know the clubs where walking distance away, its so annoying like you said having to get taxis to the nearest night life, it costs so much for us when we want to go town, we normally go to manchester as our 'big night out' place, where do you go?
so i cant wait to beable to spend like £20 a night rather than like £50, might spend less though on student nights, drinks are like £1 in the week arnt they...
have you bought anything for your room yet? actually dont know what to take with me at all haha!

yeah flights are rediculous!!! and yeah he lives like just outside of aiya napa :smile:!!!

really ive been to manchester a couple of times cos my sister lives there!! but yeah the closest place for us to go out is hull cos hornseas **** it has like 4 pubs and no club so we never go out in hornsea! but hulls alright but its like an hour from where we live! but we usually go out like once - twice a week so its not too bad just expensive! haha i dont even wanna spend £20 a night im just gnna buy a bottle of vodka and get rediculously drunk on pre drinks then will only need to spend like £10 haha i dont really need to drink very much anyway :tongue:!!
erm i havnt really bought very much tbh ive bought a cheese grater haha!! but im really really really not looking forward to sleeping in a single bed hah! im gnna see whether theres any rules against taking the bed down and bringing my bed from home haha!!
ooo very good :smile:
oh really, its a good night out Manchester, is your sister studying there or just lives there? hahahaha that the same for us, Whaley Bridge where i live theres like 5 pubs and thats it, its gd when my boyfriend has a gig, cos then its always quite busy then but apart from that whaley is boring lol. so where you live sounds pretty similar to where i live. really that's good that you get to go out twice a week though, i couldn't afford to go Manchester that often, wish i could, **** WAGE...
yes yes yes lots of pre drink, i'm abit bad for Geiger bombs:colondollar: haha. love them!
haha a cheese grater! its dead hard though cos you don't know what your flat mates will be taking, so i dont wan it to end up that we all bring the same thing and end up with like 8 irons or somet.
aww iknow i'm going to miss my bed, i'm sure you will be able to take your own, ask, i'm not to bothered really about the bed, more the fact there is only a shower, and no bath :frown: love a good old bath. but that's the only thing i can complain about, i love everything else, SOOO EXCITEDDDDD! are you doing the fda in this course or...

yeah manchesters good! yeah shes at like a uni/college thing for dancing! yeah its soo boring in hornsea never anything to do! cos i hate just going to the pub i prefer like making a proper night of it :tongue:! but yeah i dunno how i afford it tbh! but we do only spend like £30 because we usually try and get someone to give us a lift and my mum always offers to pick us up and stuff and she only lets us give her like £5 each!
but yeah i love jagerbombs!! and vodka redbulls! although i have got to the point now especialy on student nights in hull when its £1 vodka red bulls that i get like real bad heart pain from drinking them so ive kinda stopped drinking them for a while hha!
[h="3"]yeah i was in tesco and was like i need to buy something cos i was so excited and i saw a pink cheese[/h]grater so i was like why the hell not :tongue:! but yeah i was like that wish you could like find out who your living with because when we looked around the woman said that sometimes they have microwaves and toasters in the kitchen and sometimes they dont and i dont wanna get there and find out we dont have something and have like 8 cheese graters cos theres no point :s-smilie:!!
well the only reason i really want my bed is cos when my boyfriend stays hes like a massive massive bed hogger and its bad enough in a double bed ahha! can just imagine me ending up sleeping on the floor cos he gets real hot aswell! so we'll see but if i can bring it he can bring it in his car and assemble it all for me :wink:!! yeah i may have to live take little trips home for the odd bath :wink:! sames im sooo exccited to move in now! i just wanna party!! its gnna be so awesome!!
and yeah well i originally applied for the fda course cos i didnt really understand the whole ucas thing and got really confused but now im kinda glad i did cos then atleast after the two years if im fed up of uni or i get offered a good job or something like that i can leave and still have a qualification and then later on i can do the top up course to get it to a ba! and also i was looking into transferring to america or something so i might be able to do my last year in america i havent really looked into it all properly yet but thats what im thinking or even go to a uni in london to do the top up! but then atleast i have a qualification after two years rather than if i got a reall good job offer after the 2nd year id wanna take it but i wouldnt have anything to show for 2 years at uni! which one have you done?
aww thats good, i would have loved to do a dance course if i didnt get into hair, cant wait to do all the prosthetic designing and aging make-up, think its awesome! oh thats good, wow how awesome is your mum haha, i would love that, my friends mum does that for us sometimes but i always feel bad cos its always really late when we come in.
ahh really, its horrible, i'm always chewing rennies. there great to get rid of heart burn. yeah i think you should lay off vodka redbulls for a while haha, or just invest in some rennies :wink:

awww a PINK grater!ive said i want to go ikea at some point, don't no what to buy haha, or i might just wait and buy what we need once ive moved in the flat.
haha yeah well if we do end up having to many of the same item when we get there,we will have to do like a little car boot sale haha, make a few pennies for ALCOHOL!
o god yeah i never thought, saying that when i first got with my boyfriend he had a single bed, so will just have to go back to the old ways when one of us half hung f the bed lol.
Ahhh that's good, i'm doing the fda to, yeah well that's what ive said because you never no when your going to get offered a good job so doing the fda gives you the option of either going into a job or doing your final year to make it a full degree.
that's sooo wired though because ive said i would love to go america :eek:
would be amazingggg to go there! are you working at a salon at the moment?

oh my god thats soooo weird!! i used to do dancing like i did ballet and stuff right from being 2 and i only gave it up cos of hairdressing and stuff! and both my sisters have gone into dancing at uni's and colleges!! but yeah i no when i was at the open day they had all the stuff there like legs and that was soooo cool im so excited to do it all!!! i know ill get real impatient with stuff though ill wanna get onto all the cool stuff! i was the same with all my hairdressing i got through my level 2 in like 14 months!! and my level 3 i did in 6 months! cos i get real impatient and dont like staying doing the same thing for long! mmm yeah i may have to give those rennies a go!! its proper horrible i actually feel like im gnna die haha!

yeahh i wanna go to ikea but i know ill end up buying stuff i don't need!!! but i can deffo see a carboot coming along cos i know ill end up buying loads of stuff i cant help myself! i love buying house stuff!!

yeah ive just been speaking to my boyfriend about it and were both thinking bringing my double bed but we'll see it might not fit in his car haha! but i might get him to come on my moving in day cos he can do all the manly carrying things up and down stairs and ill just chill out :wink:!!

yeah i proper wanna go to like hollywood cos they'll be colleges there that specialise is tv and film makeup and hair and it would be sooo awesome to do it in hollywood cos we'd get such awesome jobs afterwards!

yeah ive been working in the salon for like 3-4 years now!! its got so boring!! but i never wanted to just work in a salon i always wanted to go on and do it for film stage and tv but i thought it would be easier to go through the hairdressing route and work doing apprenticeships rather than doing a levels haha
are you in a salon?
