Manchester United (and me) in 7th Heaven!

So ya Hi me again. It has been 9 days since my last post. Remember when I said that I would post more regularly?! Well I lied! hahaha Anyway so Happy late Easter! Hope it was a good one! I went down to Exter and hung out with my friend Lily! Was awesome.We went out in Exter, went to Budleigh (spelling?), then to Exmouth and hung out with Lily's family! I had a really good time! Was Awesome actually! AND it was sunny the WHOLE TIME I was there so wore my board shorts much tbout all the time, although the night times were pretty chilly.




Here are a couple of pics wil put the rest on my flickr account. Theres Exmouth sunset. Lily, laura, myself. Lilly and Katryn. And Lily and me.

Then yesterday I went round to the awesome Clays house! We watched Manchester United absolutely demolish Roma. 7-1 and the seven goals weren't regular goals either and to be fair the Roma goal was pretty spectacular to!! the goals just kept coming! Anne and I were talking bout the game before it started just saying how we were pretty nervous as it was a tough game last week. But Man U turned up and boy did they show Roma!! Was a really good evening. Anne cooked an awesome meal and as usual the evening was filled loads of laughs, I do love hanging out with the Clays!


I'm still on Easter holidays we go back to uni on the 23rd but got work to do in the mean time!

Not fallen off the face of the earth

Okay so maybe some you might think that I have fallen off the face of the face of the earth, but I actually haven't ALTHOUGH I was tempted to jump many a time when I was trying to get my dissertation done. It seems a distant memory but this time last week I was running on 3 hours sleep as I had stayed up till 5 in the morn finishing off the diss. But that's all in and we are on our Easter break. It's not really a break as we have work to do but it's nice having a deadline that is far away!

So what has Miss Mud been up to the last month?! WORK, WORK, WORK. I'm sure many will chuckle when they read my name and work in the same sentence as it is a very rare occasion that this happens or that I do any work! But yes it IS true! I DO work (sometimes!) :-)

I turned 23 last month! Crazy I tell you. It was a really good day. My friends and I went out as mexicans, sombreros, ponchos and all here are a few pics. Theres one with the gang, one with Jon my housmate, Helen and myself, and one with Matt my housemate as Nacho Libre in his recreational clothes! (if you have watched Nacho Libre your missing out!! NAAACCHHO!)






So that was cool and then from my small group I got an awesome present! A personalised Manchester United shirt!! Was awesome! With the number 23 on my back. I was like 'ah awesome you got 23 thats my hockey number! Then it dawned on me that it was ALSO the age I had turned!! DOH!


So I have just been watching cricket world cup and filling my days with nothing. So its all good. I'm going down to Exeter for Easter will be good to hang out with my friend Lily. I went to the station to buy my train ticket and on my way back got onto the bus (big mistake) The bus driver was like, actually he was a driver from hell. He was roaring round the bus route. I was standing which made it even worse as i had to grip for dear life and he did his wheelies (not really but it felt like he was trying) round the round about! What made me laugh though was when we were approaching a bus stop he sped up and then screeched to a halt having past the bus stop like 100 meters behind and opened the doors to let people in. He proceeded to cut out the bus engine because he stopped so quickly!! I was so glad when i stepped off the bus. As always i said thank you!....(and under my breathe i sed)..... for not killing me!! haha was funny!

otherwise that me. If I haven't spoe to you sorry..send me a rude email or phone call and will defo get back to you! :-D Will prob be posting more regularly! Don't hold your breathe though as you may pass out!

Oh ya one more thing found out today that my brother and his wife and my little nephew are expanding their family and there will soon be a new addition to the fam. So I will have a new little nephew or neice! Awesome. Congrats to them.

My song of the moment

Okay so instead of doing my dissertation, which happens to be due in 1 week and 6 days!! I am watching Youtube clips of my fave song.........would someone slap some sense into me!! PLEASE!!

Anyway here you go. It's a pretty old song but I do love it. Jason Mraz makes me laugh and I Love his voice!

In shock

So i log into msn and a msg comes up and it's my friend Kelly, she's like "MUDZ!! So glad you logged! I'm thinking huh? When did Lana get engaged?"

This is crazy was only home in January and she wasn't engaged!! I mean i have one friend who has been married for ages. But we always knew she was going to be the first. You know when your at school and you go round the group guessing what everyone will be doing in like 10/20 years? Well bernice was the married first girl!

Then found out just recently that my friend Kirsty got married last year! ( you probably thinking well she must not really be your friend, coz she would have told you!! :-) ahahaha no kidding i KNEW she was engaged, just not married!

I guess I am growing up, friends (my age) getting married and engaged left right and center!! CRAZY i tell you........sorry still in shock from news!!

Top snow tip

If you ever want to play in the snow for a very long time and want warm hands but want to keep them dry............MARIGOLDS are the answer!! Put your gloves under them and then you can play, play, play!!

Other snow pics on my Flickr account

More now pics

Here we are in our HI-VIZ jackets sitting on Cindy!!!
Alice is directing Cindy that she wants to go THAT-A-WAY!!.......

Top of the hill....CINDY is formed

We climbed up this slippery road to get to the hill. Oli and Alice went sledging, i couldn't walk anymore i died from the previous one so i was determined to build a snow man. I was gonna build Chris Moyles from radio 1 but Alice came up with a Genius idea and we built a SNOW CHICKEN!! OH YES you read right!! check it out!!

Stage 1


Stage 2 (body and head formed!)


Stage 3 - Here you have it!! Our very own SNOW CHICKEN.......we christened it CINDY!

What's going on?

Okay so I haven't posted in a very long time!! (just thought i would state the obvious, as you probably have noticed that i haven't posted in a long time!?)

Okay so what HAS been going on? Well last week friday and thursday, i went to work for Owen! It was awesome and pretty cool 'going to work" everyday! Had to be ready for 8!! It felt like i was walking through a thick mud pool, that was me for the first half an hour before i actually got myself together and was alert. Unfortunately i'm did not manage to go to work this week, only for one day because it suddenly ( well not really but i like to think it was sudden) that I have a dissertation due in just over 2 and a half weeks!! (If you are a kind soul and like writing essays, please let me know and will gladly give you work!)

What else well we had a SNOW DAY...........on the day i had decided to sit down and work on my dissertation.........it had to SNOW??? So the diss went out the window and Oli, Alice and myself went sledging. We first went to Cleeve hill but that was FULL of people so went to prestbury and were the only people on the hill!!

Here are funny things that happened before we even got to hill.....
1. Oli tried to drive up the slippery, muddy slope and nearly grounded his car on a hump
2. Us getting ready and Alice saying "Oli your car IS MOVING!!!" It was the funniest ever. We were outside the car and his car started sliding away Oli ran and grabbed the boot to stop it. The funny thing was the handbrake was on so it was the ice melting under his tires!! (ahhahaa we joked that when his car would be in Cleeve by the time we came back from playing in the snow because it would have slid away!!

Genius

So today my friend Melody leaves the Land of Eng for the Land of Wallabies and Koalas (sad face and a sigh)

I can't wait till she lands in Aussie, sleeps off her jet lag, sorts out her broadband and connects to skype where i can chat to her and find out all her news!

"Formula forecasts sadness on Jan. 23"

My housemate told me about this but i didn't believe her and so i went to my reliable and always ready keeper of all knowledge (Google) and looked it up and the first article i stumbled upon was this one.......

"Oh, woe is us -- the gloomiest time of the year is looming dead ahead. Stay under the covers and wallow in comfort food on Monday, Jan. 23 -- it's the most melancholy day on the entire calendar, at least said a British psychologist who backs his claims with a scientific formula.
Forget the Ides of March. Beware [W + (D-d)] x TQM x NA, cautions Cliff Arnall of the University of Cardiff in Wales.
"The formula uses six immediately identifiable factors: weather, debt, time since Christmas, time since failing our New Year's resolution, low motivational levels and feeling a need to take action," he said yesterday..............."

If you wanna read the rest of the article heres the url (sorry don't know how to post it as a link as i am bit slow :-)

You will however be happy to know that we have only got 164 days to go. The happiest day is Friday, June 23 this year!
