Today we didn't get up to much till the evening when me & Dad went to see the christmas lights switched on at Ironbridge, they had a little market as well as quite a few of the local shops staying open.
At 7.30 the lights came on and the fireworks started! They didn't actually last that long but they were really good! The finale was awesome!
Right before we left I bought some cupcakes too xp~ These ones are white choc & raspberry, sundae & gingerbread, sounds good to me x3

Guess what?

( Fireworks, again? XD )

Today was like the most wasted day you've ever seen until about 6, although I did do most of my past LJ entries to catch up so I guess that was pretty good, I am now finally up to date! For the first time in probably a year! *parties* I did actually spend most of the time looking up music on youtube, it was pretty good, found a lot of tracks I'd forgotten about :]
At about 6 I decided to get going and I made my tea and some fairy cakes (in a cupcake mood ;p) and then Dad came home and about 7.15 we went to the Donnington Bonfire =D I'd booked tonight off work so I could go as I haven't been for the last 3 or 4 years cause work kept making me go in.
So as you'd expect, have some pics of fireworks! The little camera did an okay job I think :] Oh but first is a pic of Smalls asleep on his tank X3

Today I booked off, so I had a whole day to myself, kinda ;D Me and Dad went down to Ironbridge to check out the stalls that were there for the Ironbridge festival, there was this and that and it was nice to wander up and down as the weather was pretty good today too, got a right chill coming in the wind though.
Anyway, after listening to the school steel drums band for a while we went back home. Tony was going to bring me back come dark but he'd worked a 20hour shift cause the PI was a bit of a bitch last nigh, so he was too tired. Dad and me went back own at 7.00ish I think. There were fireworks at 8 as well! I got loads of photos, too many as usual, but my camera was playing up again and wouldn't focus if I zoomed at all ;/
Oh, and I felt like taking a desk pic this morning for some reason XD

Felt like a desk pic...

Today was promising to be fairly eventful but as it turned out was just okay.
We went out driving earlier in the day forrandom driving, stopping at Wolves but we didn't stay long. Later on when we got home we dossed about some more, then we went out to the cinema to meet Lauren & Aiden from work. We went to see Tim Burtons' new movie, '9'. It was...strange XD it had nice animation & and stuff, but the story line seemed rather vacant at best, like 3 or 4 20 minute cartoon episodes all jammed together. Then it finished, but didn't really finish and went on for another 15 mins or so to an unconvicing end XD Still, wasn't all bad.
We came back to Hollinswood & Tony & Aiden set off some fireworks. Lauren was scared of fireworks and she wouldn't let us forget it. I can usually get along with Lauren but it got quite annoying & the boys didn't seem to notice as they were too distraced so I had to put up with it. It was freezing too xp
Once they finally quit letting them off we were gonna go to the pub, but it was time for a club to open that the others wanted to go to & we couldn't stay out tonight because Tony has his drving test in the morning so we dropped them off and then went home, where I dossed on the pc for most of what was left of the night XD

I didn't forget to take pics of course, not many turned out though ;/

So, today we went to Aber. Once we got up I had a quick zoom about the place to make sure everything was okay then we went up town as we had some money to bank, ended up spending a while there though, did get a new shirt though, woop new clothes!
We set off at 1.30 and drove all the way without stopping, it was a pretty good trip, but at one point a stone chucked up and now my windscreen is cracked :C
We got to Aber at about 3.30, and parked up and went for a wander. Tony wanted to look for a dvd so we went to the highstreet but for a university town it doesn't have one place that sells dvds! I was having a great time taking photos around the town anyway.
We went to the arcade too (of course) and Tony went on his new fave machine which I think i described last time, and he won £20, only spending £1.50!
It was getting dark and a bit late by then so we headed to the caravan, where we dossed for an hour or so before the fireworks were on =D its hard to choose between watching the fireworks or photoing them XD
We went to the pub/club bit later, but this year didn't seem as fun as last, it was a more typical pub experience without the exploring and card games of last year, more sitting and dossing with flashy lights in my face & then the kareoke, Tonys mum is a pretty good singer, bit most other people are not xd we left about midmight and went back the caravan via the still-burning bonfire (look at all the colours!) and watched infomercials...woo!
It actually wasn't too bad a night, but most of all I'm pleased with the pics i got today :]

Start with some cute gerbils

Today I had to get up early to run the mini keys down to Tony and get some petrol for it so it could be driven up to it's MOT. Once i'd done all that I came home and did some odd stuff on the PC, then went upstairs to sit in the warm in jens room and do some puzzles in a book, but i'd only done one when i fell asleep XD I slept till 1, when dad came up and said he was going to Wolves, so I went too.
We went round 3 different places looking at beermats, well, dad looked while I stayed in the car X3 It was a good drive even though the mats weren't any good and we got home just in time to put tea on.
I didn't have work tonight like I thought as apparently it was very quiet so they cancelled me and instead me, Tony and his siblings went over the park and watched fireworks Tony lit for half an hour, the rest of the night i didn't do much though.
Oh, btw the mini passed! Woo! Just needs it's windscreen wipers replacing apparently, the other stuff that was picked up was only minor or easily dealt with.

Today we got up fairly early and first went to get Tony's bike from the PI. It took half an hour to start just out of being awkward, and I cleaned up my car a little while I waited so we could fit stuff in easily. When we got home I got the sleeping bags out of the attic and then I said bye to Dad and went over Tony's house to pick up the stuff over his house before we left.
It tok a while to get there, about 2 hours? I think. We stopped just past Welshpool for lunch though, so maybe that held us up, since we did stay there for a while.
When we got there is was about 2 or 3, and we'd got lost a couple of times through the local town, and then trying to find the right lane to the caravan park, but anyway we got there in the end!
The park is nice though we didn't explore much, just looked about the caravan then relaxed in the little sitting room till tea was ready. Although there was gonna be a buffet later at the club on site, Tony's mum cooked us all food in case the other food wasn't substantial later.
At 6.30 a firework went off outside, and that sorta signalled everyone to come out of their canavans and see the firework display set for 7.00. It was a nice display with some quite large fireworks, and if was then I realised i'd forgotten the SD card for the camera. The camera can only store 5 pics on itself so I deleted a couple I'd taken earlier to get some firework ones, but typical, isn't it?
The camera needs a special cable to get the pics off it, and since we can't find the cable there are no pics for today ;d
After the display we went to the club and got some drinks and stuff, everything seemed so cheap compared to the PI! XD The buffet started at about 8, and it was proper food after all, and really nice too. If my camera had been happy I'd have taken a pic of the huge salmon they cooked up and put in the centre of the table. The whole house was pic-worthy actually, it's an old monestary and looks like it'd be really creepy to walk in if you were by yourself. The club was located in the basement and all the walls and stuff were stone, weird X3
Anyway, I didn't get too drunk and neither did Tony, we eventually went back to the caravan at about 2 XD
EDIT: found the pics!

Lost on the way there

( Site and boom! )
