June Photo Challange

Hiya

Thought I'd try something different in June and after reading Sprinkle Of Glitter's blog I was highly inspired to take part in her June photo challenge.

So for the month of June I will be uploading, well at least trying to upload, a picture everyday of June onto this blog to document my month. If you want to read Louise's original blog post about this challenge, and take part here's her blog post;

Giving blood

Hi hi hi

So I went to donate blood 2 weeks ago for the first time and what an experience that was! 

I'd booked an appointment so I arrived at 7 for my apportionment at 7:15. All the nurses were lovely and made sure I drank tonnes of water before I donated to stop myself fainting or feeling ill when I donated. 

And in usual British fashion nothing was running on time!

I was the last one to be called through, and that wasn't until 8 so I wasn't bet pleased by this point! I was taken through by a nurse who talked me through the health form I'd already filled in asking about lifestyle and risks, so things like if I was planning on doing any extreme sports after my donation and my travel history. She asked if I had any questions which was really reassuring, especially since I was slightly nervous with it being my first donation! She then checked my iron levels by doing a quick fingerprick which didn't hurt at all, until after she put the plaster on and I could feel my heartbeat in my finger. I was then showed where to sit and had to wait for another nurse to find me. 

When she finally did find me I was taken to another chair where they tried to find a vein for me to donate through. (Bearing in mind that last time I had blood taken the nurse pretty much through the needle at me from the other side of the room with no problem.) So I had to swap arms. The nurse finally got my vein and my donation started. They collected samples for tests first, so for HIV, Hepatitis and blood grouping. I was told to keep moving my hand to get the blood to flow easier and to reduce bruising, but by this point I was already expecting a bruise just by how forceful the nurse had been with the cannula, and how once shed put it in she then proceeded to drop the donation bag which was attached to by arm through the needle!!She then decided that my veins were too thin to donate in a decent amount of time, as the cannula was knocking on either side of my vein causing my donation to be realllllly slow! The nurses then decided that it was best to stop my donation half way through because it was so slow! But they gave me this delightful arm wear and sent me on my way! 

Two weeks later I then received my donation card and blood group! Turns out I have the most common blood group in the UK.

I honestly believe that donating blood and in the future my organs is one of the nicest things I could do for another person. Yeah okay it's needles and my body being cut up but in the end it is my body and my choice, I think that once you're gone that's it, you don't need your organs or your body so why not give them to someone who needs them an awful lot more that I would in death?

Its my thought that why should I not donate my blood and organs? At the end of the day I'd accept a donation from someone else if I needed it, so it's only fair to offer that chance of hope and life to someone else!

That was all very serious, but I wanted to share this with people. 

Side note; yes it did take me 2 weeks to write this post but I've been super super busy with exams and work and things so yeah:-) 

Oh and don't hesitate to leave questions and comments or tweet me or send me questions on tumblr :-)

McFly

HOW'RE YOU:-)?

Sooo, I'm off to see my favorite band ever in the history of everything in a few days and I'm far too excited right now! I'm going with all my faves in a massive group of 10 and I CANNOT WAIT! Its going to be such a good weekend. We're seeing them on Saturday 4th May in Manchester and staying in Manchester for the weekend(hopefully to try to meet them and so we don't miss our train home..)!

I've already seen them live 3 times and they were literally the best nights of my life! 
I first saw them on the 'Above the noise tour' at Manchester M.E.N. on the 19th March 2011. Truly one of the best nights of my life! Although we were quite far back it was still such an amazing atmosphere with everyone singing the songs all concert and shouting and screaming for the boys! 

(Bad quality, I know :-( ) The stage was amazing!

Danny Jones the absolute God

Best end to a concert ever

Honestly I thought nothing could beat that night. Not even another McFly concert but I was completely wrong with that! The following year in April 2012, I saw them for the second time in Preston at the KCAPL tour! This time we were standing and the atmosphere was AMAZING! I've never experienced anything like it! Everyone was signing  and screaming and jumping and it felt like everyone knew each other, even though we didn't. 

 Although at this concert I did learn to stand my ground when people ask if they can squeeze past you because they don't really want to 'get to their friends on the other side of you' ... they want your place. But it was honestly the best experience ever!

(Reaaaaally bad quality, I was too excited) 

All my photos seemed to be of Danny

After that AMAZING experience I got to see the amazing boys in my home town of Blackpool on the 24th June 2012, on the Headland. Again the concert was standing and it was such a good atmosphere yet again (I put that down to the shared loved of the same people by the whole of the crowd)! 

Mr Dougie Lee Poynter

Tom Fletcher

Forever a Pudd girl 

The weather was lovely and the other acts there like Lawson and The Wanted were really good to! I spent the day with my closest friends and jumped and sang our way through the whole thing! It was BRILLIANT!
So after the three truly unforgettable experiences at McFly concerts I honestly CANNOT WAIT to see them again. I cant wait to sing along and scream and fangirl and be surrounded by other Galaxy Defenders and experience the atmosphere! 

HURRY UP SATURDAY!

These people are the most fab people EVER. That is all.

Worst week

HEY

This week has 100% been the worst week I've had in a long long time. And there isn't even a real reason why it is. It just was.

Nothing has seemed to go right this week, literally nothing. I've had so much work for health and social care and all my revision for my exams. And then my mouth decides to swell up and give me major pain, even though only 2 months ago I had root canal treatment on the same tooth, grr. I've broken down in tears so many times this week at home just because of pure stress, pressure and annoyance at the world.

And then to top it off Wednesday was the 7th anniversary of my grans death, which was a hard day for all the family especially this year after everything that we've been through. So that was hardly a fun part of the week, especially when all you want is the world is just to be able to see that one person again and tell them you love them. R.I.P. Gran, Hope you're being looked after whilst watching down on us and smiling<3 

Me(I was only a few days old) and my gran, the most beautiful person I've ever met, both inside and out 

I've spent a lot of time with my family this week, purely because they keep me grounded, cheer me up, make me feel safe and I love them all to death. My family and my wonderful friends have been the only things keeping me going this week. 

My family in 2011, minus my dad

My family photos are always taken on holiday...

My amazing and absolutely beautiful girls

I've spent the whole week in a constant bad mood and I must have been horrible to be around! Lets hope for a better week next week! EEEK MCWEEKEND STARTS IN 7 DAYS! 

Boom

My day- 20/04/2013

HOWDY

Today was boring but still a good day!

Work was so quiet that there was literally NOTHING to do and I didn't even have a party to host so that was a bit rubbish! But not to worry I've got a 6 hour shift and a party to host tomorrow!

But the sun was out so when I finished work, so I got to spend some time with my mum and the dog in the garden chatting and gossipping(to my mum not the dog...)! Honestly love my mum to bits! She's also booked a weekend in Cornwall for me, her and my dad in July which should be brilllll! Ive never been to Cornwall so I'm extra excited about that!

I then decided that seen as id been promising my Friends Easter nest cakes(which they've never had, oh my god) since well before Easter I should probably make them! So that's how I spent my afternoon! If I'm quite honest I'm rather proud of them(I know they're the easiest things ever to make but I don't care)! and if you've never made/had Easter nests, WHAT WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD?!

Feel very nostalgic, I always used to make these every year as a child with my dad!

I've also eaten a ridiculous amount of food today and drank a ridiculous amount of Mountain Dew, so safe to say I feel rather sick this evening. Well done Hannah. 

We're now in the 2 week countdown till McFly! EEEEK, so very excited!

Time for me to stop writing, chill out and watch YouTube videos because that's how rock and roll my Saturday nights get!

Week 1

BONJOUR

Oooops, not blogged all week. Gaaaah 

My week in 5 words? Diet, College, Sleep, Revision, Exam. 

Safe to say I'm completely knackered and fed up on revision and dieting and exams already. Can it just be half term again? or even better can it just be summer already?

My diet is more of a healthy eating mission. Pretty boring if I'm honest, I'm bored of it already and I've only done one week. I didn't even loose weight which is also a MAJOR knock in my confidence and motivation. But I'm going to sort out my swimming membership tomorrow then I can start a bit of exercise too.

I'm currently getting majorly excited about the McFly Tour with all the spoilers and pictures! Cannot wait for that! Only 15 more days and then its Manchester for the weekend and the McFly concert with all my faves :-)

So yeah, have a nice weekend!
