Brilliance.

Hey blogee's!

It's almost the middle of the week, and i'm excited. Feeling superkeen this week for some reason! 

Very happy at the moment! Had the most amazing weekend! Well, it was cold which wasn't amazing but apart from that! 

Started the weekend with my show on Canalside's the Thread 102.8fm on Friday! School's out is back again this week so tune in for the chance to win a £10 iTunes voucher! The Crimbo show is starting next week! Which means....it's nearly CHRISTMAS!!! OMG!!!

Insane. 

Saturday was just brilliant. 

Getting up early isn't my thing, but when you're going to Nottingham, to write a match report for the Senior Journalist at the club, it's a good reason to wake up early!

Travelling to Nottingham is one of my favourite journeys, it's a long enough journey not to be tiring or make you feel car sick, but it's route is so nice over the hills (from my house anyway) and it's just fun to cruise along! 

After arriving at about 12pm I got escorted up to the not so swanky offices as every at Forest kept telling me, to meet the Journalists there-if you didn't already know I want to study Journalism at Uni, so this was work experience to me. Best work experience ever, just having a chat for an hour and a half with the Journalists! Ha! No, really though it was brilliant. They're both absolutely lovely people, giving me tips for Uni and life. Yeah, it got deep. 

Nick, the 'Senior Journalist' told me to answer the question 'Who is your favourite Journalist?' at one of my Uni interviews as him..I haven't decided whether to do this or not yet. 

Him and his 'assistant' Ash were so lovely, it was so nice to meet so many of the nice people that work there! It was brilliant! I then got to watch the match against League Leaders Burnley, although that wasn't so brilliant it was alright when I got to go in the Press Conference after! It was the weirdest, greatest, coolest, quickest experience of my life! It was literally so fast! But it was so so good! I felt like a professional! 

Brilliant 

Then on Sunday, my job for the day was to write up the match report to be sent in by Monday morning. Wow. No pressure. To be honest, I think I did an alright job! Sent it off nice and early on Sunday & hopefully they think I did an okay job too! 

It was such a lovely weekend though, then I got to meet all of the players too!:O amazing. Dream come true. 

Sadly Chris Cohen is out for the rest of the season due to injury, which is not good for us! But i'm sure if we keep pushing, we'll be up there till the end! 

'School's out!' is back this week! Don't forget to tune into 102.8fm's CanalsideTheThread from 4pm! You could win a £10 iTunes voucher, and it's the last week until I start the Christmas Giveaway which is going to be, well. Brilliant! 

Thanks for reading,

Brilliance - I didn't even know this was a word..some journalist, eh?

Week ahead.

Hola blogee's!

Busy bee week ahead for me! What about you? Have you got any plans?

Starting off today, got my piano lesson as always but I'm telling you one of these pieces is so hard to grasp and I don't think my teacher is going to be too impressed when he arrives tonight to find I still cannot play this piece. After weeks, months learning it. Not good! Home alone though for the night as the mother has her violin class tonight so it will be a good opportunity to get some work done! In theory..speaking of theory! Music theory tomorrow! My tutor said not to say 'Good Luck!' because it's not always lucky apparently, but I'm feeling good and I know what I'm doing so lets hope for the best! With an hour to go until my lesson I figured it would be a good time to post to my much neglected blog for the past few weeks! Sorry!!

I've been thinking a lot more about my Christmas Giveaway for my Radio Show & a couple of my friends at school like the idea of giving away some cosy christmas clothing items! Little bobble hat & gloves maybe! Or even some super cute snowy christmas slippers! I'd love it if you have any ideas to let me know!! So far on the list;

iPod

iTunes Voucher (£10)

Christmas cosy clothing

FOOD! - I'm thinking mince pies, everyone loves them! Or maybe some dreaded christmas cake?! TBC!

A special christmas bauble!

Handmade Christmas Key Ring!

I'm sure there's a lot of other things people would want to win in a hamper! (IF i can call it that!) So maybe, I'll throw in some wine as well! Mulled Wine-very christmassy! 

I'm counting down the days already as i know you all secretly are to & currently we are 51 days away from the big day! Yipeeeee! Can't wait! Christmas is the best holiday I think & I absolutely love it! Especially when we get the good old fire going at home!!

Anyway, onwards & upwards with the week! So after my theory tomorrow I probably won't do much else because it will finish at about 7pm!!! Madness! Thursday, James is coming round for the first time in what seems like forever but maybe we'll just do some homework, or something dorky like that as I'm so behind. Then friday! Weekend begins! School's Out from 4pm on Canalside's TheThread 102.8fm until 6pm and you could win a £10 gift voucher!! Someone all the way from Northern Ireland tweeted in last week! So if you think you won't win, you've got every chance! Trust me! Then work at 7pm! Molly's working though so it's okay! She's such a laugh as well so it should be a good shift! In work again Saturday until 9pm then going to the Remembrance Day with James and his fam on sunday! 

Today I entered a giveaway competition to win an iPad! How exciting! James seems to think I won't win as I never do when I enter these things but you never know!! This could be my changing luck time! 

All my new pieces of jewellery have gone up on the website now & are officially ready to be sold & shipped off to a new home! If you want to check out some of my product follow this link to my shop!

Happy week blogee's! Don't get too stressed, I'm trying very hard not to! Ha ha!
