New mum

5 weeks gone and my new son is amazing! When I found out I was pregnant I was so scared and didn't know what to do or think. After a while it sunk in and I got used to the fact I had this little person inside me making himself comfortable. By week 30 that's definitely what he was doing. I won't go into details about labour and pain relief etc because that's boring, but when he was finally here it was so wonderful! All I could find myself saying was; "hello baby" over and over again. He just looked up at me with his big (at the time) blue eyes, which are now turning brown! This is where Henry's genes have dominated. Hopefully over the years I'll see something of me in George. After 5 weeks he is doing really well and getting on amazingly well. Updates to come over the next few weeks!

Taking back my blog on twitter!

Looking back through my past blogs...I mention how I don't get twitter and why people feel the need to post up random statuses about things others don't need to know. I guess you can say I'm doing that right here! Ooppss! I hate to admit it but I am a big fan of twitter now and even have the app on my phone. Who would have thought after "hating it" some things do change! Follow me...Claire_tonna

Cornwall and proving to be a pet hate

Being in Cornwall for 5 years now, it's started to irritate me more and more...the people, the place and just generally the way it makes me lazy!

Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely place...when the sun is shining and it's hot, but most days when it's raining, cold and very windy it does prove to be a damn right horrible place.

I've decided it'll be a good idea for me to go back to Sussex and have the fast moving way of life back into my system...I think it'll do me good.

Cornwall turns you from fast motivated and always wanting to do things to wanting to 'chill on the beach' for days on end, and not seem to have a care in the world. Sorry I can't work like that anymore...time to grow up I think.

So at the end of this month, I will be slowly packing up my Cornish way of life and taking it back to Sussex with me for a new start with my boyfriend.

See ya Kernow!

Dissertation LOVE!!!

Trying to write my dissertation is proving to be a right pain in the ass! I think I should have a Facebook blocker on my internet until I finish my degree.

Sitting in the dining room, 'getting on' with work....coffee after coffee and getting a bit 'typey' isn't always fun! Don't do a degree!!!

Long Journey

Another epic 'road trip' was planned for Friday, leaving Cornwall, where it was sunny and beautiful weather...to go back to Crawley, where we go rained on for 2 days. Just for the weekend, it's such a long journey.

It starts off alright, the car is reasonably clean, up for it, singing along, chatting to mates who are with you, then you realise you've got another 5 hours on the trip so by this point everyone has shut up and gone to sleep...the car is a right mess, crisp packets over the floor, drink bottles, pillows covered in dirt...It being my car, I'm now thinking, "great, I have to clean this now."

Going home and seeing my family and friends, who I don't see very often, is great...but at the same time, it just seems like too much hassle. We drove for 2 days and stayed in Crawley for 2 days, so it seemed like there wasn't much point.

As we're going to Spain next Friday, and flying from Gatwick. We have to do the whole journey all over again. GREAT!

Think I may look into flying. Petrol is just sitting at a ridiculous price at the moment as well which doesn't help, when you're already poor.

So why am I living all the way in Cornwall again?

Time After Time

Jaye Louis Douce, my housemate. Possibly one the strangest human beings in my life. He likes to sing, do graphics and moan about things alot of the time.

Jaye is a keen dancer and has a couple of very problematic trademark dance moves-the cowboy, and one of his personal favorites-the DJ Douce! Where he impersonates a DJ, holding his ear, putting his feet together and pretending to mix on imaginary decks. Some would find this strange, but that's just Jaye, doing his thing.

Jaye literally has a fact about everything on life, hence one reason why he's building his own website 'www.a new fact every jaye.com'

I've never come across someone who is so determind to go so far in life, he is one funny character, when he's drunk especially grunting at girls and saying "wasson" to them and then giving a look of disgust to his friends when the girls look at him strangely.

He always knows someone, who knows someone, to get something done for you. Which I guess in a way is a bonus, as you can always expect him to come up with something/someone for you.

To be honest, the thing I'll miss most about Jaye if he was to leave and go somewhere with his life after uni, is his Gaston (from Beauty & the Beast)impersonation!

Keep it going Douce!

The Beatles

I never used to like The Beatles, but right now they are cheering me up. With loads of things going through my head right now...they seem to be doing the trick.
Let it be, is definetly one of my favorites, along with Obla Di Obla Da. Putting it on repeat is probably going to annoy me within time thought, which maybe I should stop doing.
LISTEN TO THEM!!
