Happy New Year Everyone!

Let's hope, that for a change, we keep those New Year resoutions ;P

Hai everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and a spectacular New Year, whether you spent it with family or friend, or even out on the drink as I'm sure alot of you were :P I myself had a fairly quiet New Year this year, was down in Welsh Wales with Ben and his family :) We stayed in, watched G.I Joe, which to be fair, was pretty good and then counted down the bells at the end of the night. I didn't realise that English people sang Auld Lang Syne at New Year aswell, that sounds really horried, but I honestly thought it was just the bloody Scottish, but it's not :) Anyways, just gonna update on everything just now then go off to have a bath :)

So, Christmas Eve I was actually working, which wasnt so bad to be honest, everyone on the peone that day was really nice and wished me Merry Christmas at the end of every call which is very sweet. When I got home Mum had already cooked the turkey and wanted help doing the brussel sprouts and all the veg prep, so we sat down and watched "Scrooge" with a dram (JD and pepsi for me and Voddie and coke for mum) and did all the veg. Been doing the veg with Mum on Chrismtas Eve since I was old enough to use a sharp knife, so probably about 6 years but it's something that I'll never out-grow, I really enjoy doing it. So, once everything was done there, I was on MSN, chatting to Ben obviously :P And, yeah, a few others, but they're names escape my mind. Eventually we said goodnight and went to bed. Now, I turned 18 in 2009, and what is ridicilious, is that I still cannot get to sleep on Christmas Eve because of pure excitement! I'm not sure I will ever grow out of it, or maybe not until I've got my own flat/house/whatever! To be fair though, I did sleep until 9am on Christmas day, which is the ladtest I have EVER got up on Christmas Day, so, I'm getting better, fingers crossed it will improve :P I got a Bag from Next that I've wanted since I saw it in the catalogue, Lady GaGa's new album, loads of smellies, a gorgeous new night gown thats pink with white love hearts all over it, and other little bits and bobs. Granda was down for Christmas Lunch which was really nice, me and Calum bought him £10 worth of scratch cards, which he won £100 on one of them which was brilliant. Hannah had made sweets at school in H.E and gave them to him. Ever since Granny died he's been at ours for Christmas Lunch and the majority of Christmas day, so it'd be weird not to have him there now. I had a few drinks that night but was not drunk by any stretch of the imagination (though, Ben if he had seen me probably would have said I was).Boxing Day was a bit hectic for me, I had to pack, dye my hair, tidy my room, wash clothes that I was taking to Ben's, sort out where most of my Christmas presents were going inbetween having a bath, eating and helping Mum. But I did do it! I got everything done :D With time to cut my hair also. And ofcourse, I had turkey sandwiches for lunch and then a second turkey dinner that night. Everyone went out to see Auntie Susan, Uncle John and they're kids, and Hazel, Derren, Jamie and Bethany. I couldn't really go as I had so much to do. But that was fine, I got a day to myself and I enjoy my own company most of the time. So then, it was the 27th, which, excited me more than the 25th did to be honest. I was going to see Ben again! For the first time since the 25th of August. Long time I know, so I got up early than my alarm was set for, body was way over excited. And did my usual, tiday up, make bed, hoover room, bath and brush teeth, hair, get dressed, makeup and then put my bag in the boot of the car, sorted out my hand luggage all whilst speaking to Ben pretty much, then said bubi to Ben for the time being and set of to the airport. The flight was delayed three hours, which was really rubbish but I'm just relieved it wasn't cancelled to be honest. So the flight was fine, well, other than the spawn of satan child sitting in the set of seats infront of me. But I was sitting to a really lovely woman called Laura who is a criminal psychologist and we had a really good conversation about psychology and the brain chemistry and my career choice which is to be a Sex and Relationship Therapist. (Yeah, I know I'm gonna get asked about that, but feel free, I'm not embarassed about talking about it to be honest) When we landed, thats when the butterflies from my toes, to my finger tips to the roots of my hair started fluttering, as usual the wait for my bag is a pain in the arse because I know how close Ben is and I need to wait before I can go through. Eventually having my bag I get stuck behind a slow pair of pensioners, buggers and eventually got out and got a big hug :D YAY <3 xoxo Loved it lots :D Anyways, so the drive home, we got KFC for dinner, lol, good times, when Ben and I went to Glasgow in April 09 we had KFC for breakfast one day :P So bad but so so good! Saw Debbie and Harry again which was great, I goot say Debbie, your looking absolutely brilliant! Met Mick's parent's aswell; Kath and Big Mick who were both lovely :) On the 28th we went through to Cardigan to go see James Cameron's Avatar with Tux, Hayley, Chris and Conn. It was a really good fun day and we had a laugh. Avatar was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G, I mean, it was in 3D which was awesome, but it still woulda been amazing without 3D to be honest. I really enjoyed it, I had been sceptical about seeing it but I really truely enjoyed it. 2 hours and 40 minutes of pure movie enjoyment, that hasn't happened in a long time for me. It's definately now one of my favourite movies. Tuesday, if I remember rightly, we had a quiet day inside, just snuggling on the couch. Wednesday we went up to Carmarthen, bumped into Troy and Seth and I think that was about it. But I did get a new pair of shoes for £15 that were down from £30 I think. Which, was okai, but I did want a pair, and I hadn't bought myself anything, so I thought I'd treat myself. As usuall I dragged Ben into Claires Accessories where there was a blue plaid Russian hatty thing, which, Ben seemed to think was cute on me, but I didn't think so. We went into Body Shop and got a bit dizzy of the scents everywhere, Ben bought himself blueberry body butter which smells AMAZING :D Blueberry boy ;) Thursday being New Years Eve we stayed in and had a lazy day, and as the first paragraph has my mini story about that night I'm not gonna repeat myself :) New Years day and the 2nd we had lazy day's aswell, chilled out, watched Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which, exceeded my expectations a little, but thats fine because I truely enjoyed it. And the older and eviler he gets, the more I seem to fancy Draco Malfoy :P Still got a thing for Bad Boys apparently :P Going home was sad, but I'm getting better at it. Ben said he was proud of me :D Got home and Bonnie went skitz as usuall, I genuinely think she misses me when I'm away, can't imagine what it'll be like when I get off to uni :P

And well, since I've got home I was in work yesterday and not in today because of the weather :) Dunno if I'll be back tomorrow, guess it's a case of wait and see really. Sooo, yeah, that was a rather long blog but I suppose it makes up a little for not posting alot in the last few months of last year, I'm gonna try and update once every week or two weeks, depending on whats going on to be honest. But hopefully youll be hearing more from me this year :D

Off just now everyone, hope yous aren't too snowed in! I hear the whole country has it as bad as we have it here. Keep warm :)

Love you all

Oh the weather outiside is frightful...and bloody cold :P

Hey Guys, sorry I haven't updated in over like, 2 months? My bad, been meaning to be haven't been feeling the motivation really. So heres a little blog just to get myself back into the swing of it :P

Been at my new work for almost 2 months and I've been on the phones for a whole 5 weeks already. I'm really enjoying it and it's really easy work when you know what your talking about when your using computers :) The whole team are really nice; Aimee, Julie, Fi, Tania, Ross, Denise, Tony, Kirene, James, Gareth and Sandra ofcourse :) Everyone has been really welcoming and have been there to help when I haven't been able to do something or needed help with something. We get paid weekly which is nice, every friday although this coming week it will be thursday as friday is christmas day! OHMYDAYS. So yeah, but I'm really enjoying it and really glad I actually got a job.

Onto the subject of Christmas 2009, I'm not posting any information about what I got people but I do know you all will love yours :) I mighta went a bit OTT with some people, but it's to be expected with the people I have :P I cannot believe it's already only 5 days to Christmas, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with their family and hopefully have a white Christmas.

Now, New Year, as most people who read my blog will know I am going to Ben's for new years this year. I fly down on the 27th and arrive back home on the 3rd of January, I'm not really sure if he's got much planned but I know we're gonna go see James Cameron's Avatar :D Well looking forward to that :) I also know I'll be meeting Mick's parent's Kath and Big Micka and also meeting Tanya Keira and Aiden :) Best behaviour then, not wanna show my mother up ;)

The pictures at the top of the post is the snow we woke up to today in Inver, it's about 7/8 inches worth of it and it's beautiful. Cold but beautiful, last night, it had started snowing, I ran outside and jamp on the trampoline, and almost fell on my arse a few times but survived ;) My mind reverts back to being a 5 year old when snow is around! True story, ask Ben :P Bonnie was also VERY excited by the snow, so excited she didn't stop to pee when I took her for a walk and therefore left a yellow streak through the snow. Stupid dog.

So I think thats about it...uuummm, yeah :) I'll be posting hopefully before Christmas and hopefully before I leave for Wales :) If not, then I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year :)

Love yous all

Hokie Kokie, Big Update, Have the cuppa on hand :P

Right, hey guys and dolls. It's friday the 16th of October, a nice day in Scotland! Oh MY God I know Lol. So, I've not properly updated recently so here goes :)

First off, I got the Job I applied for. I had the interview last friday and got the call back on wednesday to say I got it. I'm working for BT, the holding is called "ManPower" ,which is ironic because the only people I've seen working there are women) and my job pretty much entails picking up the phone and using a computer. Both things I do daily. I start on the 26th of this month and my general hours for the first 4 weeks should be 9-5 or 10-6. 10-6 is much better because it will be easier for me to get into Alness for that time. But I guess we'll see. My pay rate is awesome. I'm not gonna publicly write it on here but feel free to message me on my Bebo or Facebook or Hotmail and I'll let you know if you would like to :) So thats really my BIG news.

Secondly, the weight loss which I haven't updated. I've now lost a stone and 3 pounds. I'm delighted with that amount so far, it's only been 5 weeks today so I'm chuffed to bits :) Its really beginning to become noticeable which is great and my clothes are just becoming too big now. Thats me started shifting sizes I guess. :D

Thirdly, Halloween is just around the corner now and I'm not 100% sure on what I wanna dress up as...Megan and I are planning Invergordon and everyone knows you get free drinks If you dress up. So anyone got any ideas for me? Last year I was a devil and I don't feel like being the same thing. I was thinking Vampire or Cat...so yeah. Help me out guys!

Okai, so um, I think thats about it really. I know I said long post but it's just not. Sorry guys. Ill try and update soon but gettin ready for this new job is taking up the majority of my time.

Speak to all of you soon

Katie

P.s I Love You Ben rawr

Oooohhh

Who does the picture look like? Ben. I really realy think so. Not identical obviously, but alot alike blue eyes, dark hair, jaw structure, similar lips. His name is Daniel and he lives in Germany. The funny thing is though, is that he finds me attractive. And I told Ben about this. Ben's response was rather funny; Ben says: Me types also have a type, its the you type. That was his response on MSN hence the "Ben says". But yeah, basically what he's saying that anyone that looks like him is gonna be attracted to me? Well, thats fine by me. :P
Thats all now folks. I'll write again soon. Promise
Love you all

Quickle Tickle Update :)

Hey everyone. Its the 8th of October so before I say anything I want to wish my little sister Hannah happy 13th birthday and hope all her dreams come true this year. Love you Hanzie xoxo

That out of the way I can tell you the good news :) I have an interview on friday for Manpower in Alness, its pretty much a BT call centre. Proper 9-5 job but it is a job and I desperately need one. Interview is friday at 1.30pm. Julie (the woman on the phone and probably the woman wthat will be interviewing me) said I could be in there for up to 2 hours by time all questions had been discussed/answered. So obviously, I'm really hoping I'll get this one :) Wish me luck everyone.

A little update on the school situation. I've got work to do on Empire of the Sun. Art is coming along well. And I'm also looking into doing something like Sociology through UHI online. That'll be another 2 highers and a HND under my belt if I do those. Aberystwyth have to take me now :P

The weight loss is going brilliant. 12 pounds so far, only 2 more and it will be a whole stone! Delighted obviously. It'll also mean I lost a stone in 4 weeks. So I'll probably be aiming to average a stone a month, give or take a few pounds. Which is really really reeally good. Mum reckons by my 19th birthday I'll be in the trousers I wanna be in. Yay!

I think thats about all I've got to update on everyone. If theres anything else I'll write later.
Some random photos at the top there, hope you like them :) Just a few randomly selected from the folders on my computer :)

Love you all
