Sorry I wasn't able to post yesterday, I'll put it in now before today.
February 17th:
Started off with work once again, 11-5 though not all day thank god. It was pretty quiet considering what the previous 2 days have been like. Went home and had chicken Korma for dinner and some cream eggs. Watched Grey's Anatomy and relaxed. That was pretty much my day.
February 18th:
Today is less eventful than yesterday because I am working all day long. Yay. Just hear the sarcasm in that.
It happeneed to be hell. Lunch was hell, I had to call for reinforcements although I ruined his evening plans he did say yes to coming in saying it meant more money. Fair enough. The evening was hell as well but luckily because we had the reinforcement it wasn't as bad as if it was just the 2 of us.

February 16th 2016
Today I had work between 11 and 5. It's now the school holidays here so I was expecting it to be busy. Maybe not that busy though. It was hell and I am so grateful for my boss coming in to help because of he hadn't, it would've just been me and a trainee. Now that wouldn't of been fun. Other than it being busy customer wise, we had a laugh. I like working with the people I did today because even with the stresses of work we can always get on and make the most out of it.
After work I went home via a pit stop for tampons (sorry for the info but I did that today so thought I should share) and sweet treats for myself, and just had a margherita pizza for dinner and chocolate cheesecake for dessert.
I spent the evening watching greys anatomy alongside some colouring whilst I ate my sweet treats.

Today was a day of work for me. I got up at about 9.30 finished watching The Good Dinosaur which I'd started a couple day ago, it was a cute film, had some bits to eat and just relaxed really.
Dad went to work about 1pm and I went down the town to the travel agents to find out about Orlando Park Tickets and then collected my winnings from a scratchcard.
I came home and started to place the rigging on my mod ship whilst I watched the fastest episodes of Hawaii Five-0 and The Walking Dead. Fishcakes, chips and beans for dinner followed by Eton mess and Grey's Anatomy.
A bit of relaxing adult colouring and then some stressful online shopping. I needed to find something to wear to a funeral that I have on Monday. I don't want to wear what I did 6 weeks ago at the last funeral because it is majority of the same people. So I found a dress online and hopefully when it arrives it'll be all good.

It's Valentine's Day today and I have no Valentine, no chocolate, no romantic dinner, but I do have work! From 11am until 10pm. Fun times.
It wasn't so bad though. The time went quite quick and the evening wasn't as busy as I thought it might be considering it was Valentine's Day. I must've finished about 9.15.
I went home, showered and just got into bed really. Watched some youtube vlogs and played mahjong. When I have to be at work all day long it doesn't really leave enough time for anything else.

My day started with another trip to work. 11 til 5 today but it's with the worst person who I work with so I knew before I went that it'll be a drag.
The time itself didn't go too slowly, it was just the crap that comes out of his mouth. That person has to know everything and definitely wants everyone else to know about the useless crap he knows as well. Luckily though, he didn't put any music on.
After work I went home and had chicken pie for dinner and then made pancakes. Yes I know it's not pancake day anymore but Dad didn't have any on Tuesday so as an excuse for me to have some more, I made him some.
Other than that I didn't really do a whole lot else. Watched Law and Order, Grey's Anatomy that I needed to catch up on, played some mahjong and relaxed.

Travelling home today from my mini vacay. 2 trains, a boat, another train and a walk up a hill with my suitcase. It took about 3 hours in total to get home, everything worked to the correct time. It was a simple journey.
I got home and first thing I did was have a shower. Not because I smelt but because there is something about being in your own home, showering in your own shower and eating your own food. After my shower I felt so much better. So comfy in my woolly pyjamas. But I dare not to get too cosy because in 2 hours I had work. If I got too comfy I would fall asleep and then never want to go to work. Instead I started watching The Good Dinosaur. I had heard it was good and it looked cute so thought I'd check it out.
Work was boring, not very busy but surprisingly the time went pretty quickly. I had work from 5 until close. I managed to get out by 9.30.
I got home, put on my pyjamas again which I secretly had placed on one of our radiators so I just new it would be toasty and warm for me. Got in bed and relaxed with a not so relaxing episode of Grey's Anatomy which has just come back off it's midseason break.

After some people getting back from a club at 3.30 this morning, I went back to sleep and woke up around 9. I watched the latest episode of Chicago P.D. whilst I waited for a friend to wake up and then got up and ready.
Not much was planned for today. Just a trip to town to go shopping and a cafe. I ordered a hot chocolate without thinking. I had decided yesterday to give up chocolate for lent since it is the majority of my diet! I quickly changed my order to a strawberry and banana smoothie. It was delicious.
Went back to the house and relaxed. Had a Google. Had a sausage pasta dinner, some fudge, cupcake poptart and some sweet popcorn. Watched the end of Ant Man.
Very quiet day today and also my last day on my mini holiday. I go home tomorrow.

Today is a lazy day. Had a shower and got dressed and ready. Watched the latest Chicago Med and Chicago Fire episodes. Drew a picture of a tree. Don't know why it just happened.
I ate a no mayo chicken sandwich. It's yoghurt and creme fraiche instead of the mayo. Less fat or something apparently. It's healthier.
Went out about 4.30 to go to some bar because the people where I'm staying are insane and start drinking early and also it's a Wednesday. I don't get the hype.
I had 2 drinks where everyone else seemed to have like 2 bottles. I didn't know anyone either so they were having conversations about things, people of which I had no clue so I just sat there. We ate chicken wings and eventually left at about 11.30.
The others decided to go out to some club. I had no desire whatsoever so I am now in my friends bed while they're out partying.
That was it for today.

Today is the day we go to London!
I am extremely excited. We have booked to go to Madame Toussauds and ride the London Eye. We get into London Waterloo station around 10.40am and immediately go down to get the tube to Baker Street. It takes about 10 minutes on the tube but it literally drops you outside the Madame Toussauds door. With a bit of confusion as to which door we're supposed to enter, some helpful male worker said as camp as can be 'Door 4, priority darling!'
Through door 4 it was very posh. Huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. A stair case up either side. We were excited by just that. We hadn't even seen anyone famous yet.
We met tons of people ranging from Johnny Depp and Brangelina to E.T. and Yoda. With a 4D Marvel experience as well thrown in. It was awesome.
After a quick bite to eat at a Costa across the road, we got on the tube back to Waterloo to go and ride the London Eye. You see the views in pictures but when you see it in person it is breath-taking. I didn't realise it went so high in the air. Amazing view and the sun even made an appearance so it was totally worth it!
A brisk walk was had up the river and back down the other side towards Big Ben. And when I say brisk I mean it, jeez I thought I was a fast walker! Went back to Waterloo and got on the next train and with a quick stop, we left the house again to go out for dinner. And since it's pancake day can you guess what I had for dinner? Yep pancakes. For main and for pudding. Met a couple new people and had no clue what to say to them, I just sat and listened to their conversations. They probably think I'm weird. Pretty normal there then.
That was it really. Went back to the house and watched some videos. The Ellen show included and got into bed. Today tired me out.

February 8th 2016
Today is the first day of a mini holiday for me. I am travelling off of our small island and into the real world by myself for the 3rd time in my entire life. Baring in mind 1 of those times I was dropped off at the ferry terminal one side and then someone was waiting for me the other so in actual fact I was by myself for about 25 minutes. The other 2 times I was travelling further than that. I had to get 2 trains. It'll take me 3 hours to get home.
The weather was showers with 60-70 mph winds. Trying to get across the water and walk round to the training station with a suit case was ridiculous. Nearly got blown over.
The train journey was pretty simple. I kept checking if I had all of my tickets and things though which started to get aggravating.
I arrived at my destination where my friend was waiting for me. We went to where we are staying, had lunch and then she went to a uni briefing and I wrote on here.
We went out for dinner at what looked like a fancy restaurant but was quite cheap. Salmon discharges and a pineapple, banana and passionfruit smoothie.
My night is finishing with Ant Man.

Missed a couple weeks..
For the next couple weeks I didn't really write down what I did or didn't do but basically I went to work when I had to be at work and sat at home when I didn't have to be at work. It was a whole lot.
I hope you dont mind but I am going to skip the last couple weeks and continue from now. Like I say, I never did anything that exciting that is even worth boring you about.

Before I knew it, today was going to be the worst day of my life so far.
As soon as I woke up I was constantly shuddering. I got up shuddering. Had a shower shuddering and left the house all while still shuddering. I knew kind of the reason but still not 100% why.
I left home and headed to my Grampy's house for 11 o'clock. Just to let you know, I was still shuddering.
Half 11 was the time it would all start. We were all sat squashed into 1 small room in our smart attire just waiting, not sure what to do. Half eleven came and we were all now standing outside the front gate watching down the road. Watching him come along slowly.
When he arrived, I couldn't look. It was too much. I got into the car and watched the funeral conductor walk my Grampy up the road past his home where he had lived for nearly 60 years.
We followed behind the hearse to the cremetorium. I was trying not to look because I knew I would start to cry so I chose quick glances. He lay there, still, with the Merchant Navy flag draped over him and our flower wreaths placed on top.
At the crematorium we were treated by the celebrant that was to do the service and gently asked me if I was still willing to read a small passage which I had agreed to a week or so ago. I nodded yes as when he asked, that was the moment I began to cry and could not stop. I went and sat down as I couldn't bear to follow him anymore. People I didn't think would come were there. The place was full.
Other than the celebrant. I was the only one to read anything. It was the hardest thing I have ever done but would do it again. I would do anything for my Grampy. I managed most of the passage without too much hassle but by the end I was crying.
Amazing Grace was one of the chosen songs for the service. I knew that before the service began. The thing I didn't know was the version played was played by bagpipes. I wept a little more. My Nanny was Scottish. Grampy's wife. She passed nearly 8 years ago. An emotional tribute to both of them.
After the service we had a wake. Food and drink and old photos. It was from then I stopped shuddering but I think that was from the alcohol I drank.
I went home later that day, ate pizza and went to sleep. I was glad it was over but also glad I could say one last goodbye to the world's most amazing man. In my eyes anyway.
