Yes, Ive realised that it's been a while, but before you go giving me that 'here we go' look, you've got to listen! So you all know I'm 15, right? Well over the last 2 weeks, Ive got my first taste of the working world. And, to be honest with you, what is all the fuss?!!
I spent my 2 weeks at the Unicorn Centre riding stables, which is a centre for the disabled. It's really lovely there, and I loved it! I was working a typical 9-5 shift, you know the one that you all complain about? It was awesome, or to use the 'on trend' word for it, immense (i can see why everyone says it, it does sound, well, immense!)
No, the only downside (well the main one anyway) was the journal we had to keep. Needless to say, mines a little crumpled, which by the way, is NOT my fault. You know who you are:). It also smells of horse. There was also the slight downside of being stood on, dragged, kicked, bitten (i still have a mark! I blame you Biggles!), and also taken down by a wheelbarrow. Into the muck heap. Not good.
I rode a horse for the first time in 3 years as well. I rode Murphy (ill show you pictures when the camera cable finishes with its vanishing act), and I am still aching now.
So anyway, if you want to hear more, keep coming back, cause with each new post, ill give you a journal entry at the end.
But tatty bye for now, love you all loads:) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Title? Hello? Nope, can't find it.
Hello again everyone:)
Well, I can't think of much to say to be honest with you. I think they call it a writers block. Only this block is a little heavy, and I can't seem to move it. So, I'm going to start a bit of a feature. It'll give me something to write about, and it might even be fun! (just tell me to shut up whenever).
So, the name of the game, is Riddle (Harry Potter fans worry not, I'm not talking about voldemort)
Basically, I give you a riddle, you email in the answer (littleguccishoes@hotmail.co.uk), if you get it right, you get a point, and at the end of the month, the person at the top, is, well, at the top (and you'll get a certificate, cause you know you want one:) ). I'll keep a leader board, and all you have to do is solve them.
OK, so the riddle of the day is...
What English word is nine letters long, and can remain an English word at each step as you remove one letter at a time, right down to a single letter. List the letter you remove each time and the words that result at each step.
Think you know it? Email and we'll see:)
But anyway, good luck, don't forget to email them in:) tatty bye for now, love you all
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PS, mention as promised goes to 'Wavelength', who gave us the storty...

Loved it:D xxxxxxxxxx"Well... I ended up in diggerland last friday, even though i'm 15. Racing my 4 year old brther on little sit in cars! So yeahh.l.. i'd class that as eing a kid again!"
31 Aug 2010
Ooops, I did it again. (Nearly anyway!)
Well, the title says it all. I very nearly did it again.
I'll admit it, it is mainly because i'm an idiot, but it can't be all my fault. I just attract bad luck. Anyway, it was the same time last year I managed to loose £100. In Locke Park. Whatever posessed me to go out of the house with that amount of money god only knows, but I then went to locke park with my friends to play hide and seek. (You'd have thought I was four, not fourteen), and when I got part way round the park to find my bag missing, you can imagine my reaction (headless chicken sound familiar?). But no, I never seem to learn my lesson.
Took a trip to 'boro today, and got all the way into sports direct to buy a hoodie, (my third, this may class as an addiction soon) and when I went to get the money out, guess what? Suprise, suprise. It was missing. £50. Gone. So, I spent the rest of the trip panicking about not finding it, ruined my time to be frank. Only to take my hoodie off when I got home for it to fall on the floor. It was up my sleeve. My parents are concerned.
So no, the day I had planned did not happen. But theres always next time I guess. But anyway, I'm going to be off. Talk to you all laters, love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

10 Best Books (In my eyes that is!)
Well, I've been sat on my bed looking at my bookcase, and its made me think, how every book in my top 10 favourites, is here! So I'll give you a run through, and see if any catch your fancy!
1) The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer; OK, so pretty much every teenage girl has read the twilight saga, and even more have seen the films. But whether your Team Jacob (nope!) or Team Edward (definitely!), you can really enjoy them! To give you the low-down, basically this girl moves from Phoenix to Forks in Washington DC, meets this vampire, falls in love with him, meets a Werwolf's, falls in love with him too, and has to choose between. I just love the way I can loose myself in the books, and wake-up from dream-land an hour later, to find the rains finally stopped and the sun is out. My favourite by far, you'll definitely enjoy (even you lads will tbh!).
2) The Host by Stephanie Meyer; Wow, another book by her, and its no surprise! Honestly, the way she puts sentences together mixed with the actual ideas behind the stories is amazing! I love this one, its a mix of eerie, funny, scary, and sad. (I was literally in tears at one point). If you like something different, a bit of conspiracy, its perfect for you. Another recommended read, and its in at number two. Lets continue...
3) Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling; Well, it's well known that I'm a jam addict. And you know what? I.BLAME.HARRY.POTTER. Yes, I blame my fatty addiction on a fictional character. It all started in 2008, when i was a bit bored, so i decided to read the series. I hadn't read them yet, and within half an hour I was hooked. But reading for hours on end meant I got hungry, which is where the jam sandwiches came in. I've never been the same since. But anyway, the books are down-right amazing. They're funny, scary, happy and sad (I have a friend who cried for ages at one point in the last book, but i won't spoil it). So, yes, i know its a kids book series, but honestly read them. Your life would be incomplete without them.
4) The Confessions of Georgia Nicholson by Louise Rennison; Do yourself a favour, and buy the books, lending them from the library leads to embarrassment and dirty looks. The names are a bit offensive to the elderly and goody-two-shoes of the world. Aside from that though, they are brilliant. A good bit of girly humour to get you giggling. Enjoy!
5) Black Beauty by Anna Sewell; Probably one of the only classics I can endure. It's about horses (one of them had to be), and is beautifully written. I am yet to meet someone who hasn't heard of this book. So, buy it, lend it, (just don't steal it!), and get ready to be taken on a wonderful journey through the eyes of a horse.
6) I Heart New York by Lindsay Kelk; This is the only official 'Adult' book on the list. As in, all of the others are for little 'uns. I got this book free with Glamour magazine, and it's actually the book that made me want to start a blog. Follow Angela as she runs away to New York, and (hints in the title guys!!) falls in love with it. So there you go, that was my number 6!
7) Rowan the Strange by Julie Hearn; I got this book from school as part of the 'Book Club'. It was one of those clubs you think is awesome for the first week or so, but by the next visit you just feel a bit, well, yawn. (sorry, couldn't think of a word there.) And by the end, we were all going for the weekly flapjacks. But when I got reading, I couldn't stop! I was transported back to the time of WW2 (not literally, but you know what I mean), and felt what Rowan felt, saw what he saw. It is honestly a wonderful read. You'll enjoy it. Trust me.
8) The Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill; My first and probably my last ever colouring competition win. I was a week away from turning 14 when I entered the colouring competition at the library around the corner (that library has been a godsend ever since!). I was in the age category 8-13 years old, and screamed like an Oscar winner when they phoned me up to tell me I'd won! I got a signed copy of this book, and whilst it took a while to get into, I loved it! I just really hope they don't make it into a movie...
9) My Secret Unicorn by Linda Chapman; Horses? Check. Unicorns? Check. Childish fantasy? Check. Fan Club? Check. (yes I joined the fan club, but i was 9!). A good kids read (or adults. or teenagers. or the elderly. OK, a good read!). Just read them. You'll understand when you do.
10) The Sophie Series of Books (not sure what the real name is) by D.K. Smith; I'm called Sophie. She's called Sophie. Enough Said
So, there you go. My top 10 books, through my eyes. Is your list different to mine? (It is, you know it). Comment yours, and I might make a top 10 through your eyes. But, goodbye for now,
love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PS, remember, i want your childish tales in the post below, best one gets a mention in tomorrows post:):) xxx

A Falling Star...
I'm feeling all arty today!! Stars, glitter, shiney things (I think i might be turning into a magpie!)Went to Teeside Park today, needed to do a spot of shopping, and decided to take a look in the craft shop. It's like another world!! Everywhere I looked there was aisles of paper, card, fabrics, foam, paint, everything! So, its a working process, but I plan to start a bit of a craft buisness, watch this space:)
Have you ever felt like a little kid? Well, I may be 15, but theres nothing I enjoy more than scooting through toys r us on a scooter while all the mothers glare at me and the kids laugh and point. I don't know why, but I always have and always will be a kid at heart. So before I go, I must ask of you, comment and leave stories of your own antics? I would really love to not feel like the only freak alive, so the best comment left gets a mention in tommorows post (you know you love me:)).
So, tatty bye for now, Love you all loadss xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

One Week Later...
Well, yes guys, it's been a week, and you know what i've learned? Check your internet wires regularly, it'll mean you avoid those long, lonesome hours with no msn, no facebook, no...what? Oh, it's just me who doesn't check them. Whoops!
Anyway, it's nearly the end of the summer holidays, which is quite depressing to be honest. It feels like it's been 6 days, not 6 weeks. But on the upside, this means shopping!! I've got a whole autumn/winter wardrobe to fill, and can't wait to go and shop till I drop! Any ideas for must have items? Comment below, all comments will be greatly appreciated:)
So now, I must go. Ive a few hours to spare, and I think I'll spend them at Summerhill in Hartlepool watching my little brother practicing his biking. For an 11 year old, hes bloody awesome! I can ride, but nowhere near as good as him. Check out some videos of him on youtube; MrMarkbmx. Sore ass version is the best, shame I wasn't up at the time:') http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMarkbmx#p/u/25/HTgAWpnavgo.
But anywhoo, i'm off. Comment, reccomend, just spread the word:)
Love to you all, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
