I Try to Tell Myself I'm Not a Chocoholic...

Europe » United Kingdom » England » West Midlands » Birmingham November 18th 2006

So it seems that everyone I know here thinks I eat way too much. It is said that by the time I leave I will be at least 300 lbs. It is true, I do eat alot. ALOT. How many times have you heard me say I'm hungry -right after I've eaten. Second breakfast and elevensies all the time. My clothes all still fit and haven't really gained any weight so I keep eating at the same pace. So no one was really surprized when I took a day trip to CADBURY WORLD! It's just outside of Birmingham and basically the only thing to see there except lots of shops. Bournville is a town founded by the Cadbury brothers to have a place for the factory workers - how cool is that to have a town ... read more

Ali n Stew s world tour

Hey Guys, sorry we never posted that message letting you all know we landed safely, but I guess we've spoken to most of you know so you know we're ok! The reason we didn't post the message was simply because of post holiday blues. We have devised a cunning way of showing all of you all our photos and also offering you the opportunity to get yourself prints. Just click on this link and you should find 1,322 photos documenting our entire trip. This way we avoid a lot of boring slide show presentations at all your houses! It seems quite easy for you to be able to order prints so let us know how you get on if you do! click here for our photos! ... read more

Kelly's Excellent Adventure

Europe » United Kingdom » England » West Midlands » Birmingham October 4th 2006

I'm keeping this diary to remind myself of my life in years to come, to remind others that I am still alive, and because I don't like the idea of group emails. I haven't travelled very far at the moment. In fact, I'm in my bedroom in Birmingham and am actually confined within the West Midlands for the next week, having been 'grounded' (does that word still exist these days?) for the first time in my life. Apparently this is meant to make me organise my life, but so far all I have done is gone shopping in Birmingham lots and attempted to buy loads of things over the internet. My plans for the next year, before I sell my soul to Rothschild include teaching in China, feeding baby lions somewhere in Africa, not getting shot ... read more

Just a note to let you all know that since I have been back home I have added some photos onto all my blogs from the last 5 months so if any of you are interested (or for those of you who find reading a bit too much of an effort) you can go back through them and see what it was I was waffling on about. And if any of you are gluttons for punishment there are plenty more where they came from!... read more

Here's an interesting thing about Birmingham. They're all for tourism, but on their own terms. We turned up at the Jewellery Quater Museum to have a look around... -Oh I'm sorry, the last tour just left (Museum lady) -I didn't know there was a tour, I thought it was a museum. (me) -Well, the last one for the day has left, I'm sorry. -Ok... -You can have a look on the first floor, but the tour has gone. -Right, well, can I book for the tour tomorrow? -No, you can't book a tour, you have to be over 10 -I'm 28 -No, over 10 people -Oh, well, how do I get on a tour -Turn up tomorrow, if there's room, you can go. hmmm. Interesting. Oh well, you live and learn. What I've learnt here is ... read more

It's been a while since I last wrote. Since many people want to know I'll let you know what Cheri has been up to. She has been working for Rotary Watches. They are a brand of Watch (apparantly they're a superbrand which puts them in the same league with the likes of McDonalds - however I've never heard of them, Rotary that is, not McDonalds). Anyway, they sell all around the world in all different currencies and as is the case everywhere these days, a lot of data ends up in Excel. Many, many different files. Cheri's job has been to update, simplify and expand their library of files. Sounds like fun. However, she works on Regent Street (of Monopoly fame) which is nearly entirely comprised of clothing shops and she comes along Oxford Street (also ... read more
