SORRY I HAVE abandoned my blog for the last few days, however I have returned home now to Cornwall! Unfortunately however we do have reliable internet here, especially if it is windy when we quite literally do not get internet at all! We cannot get broadband at all so when it does occasionally decide to work here we only get a very slow dial up connection!
It has been very wet and windy here, forgot how much it rained in Cornwall! It is weird being home again, with the constant buzz from four younger siblings. My younger brother, who is 11, scarily losing track of how old he is! Anyway he can defiantly cook a lot better than Nathan, without any assistance, well apart from his little assistant; our 4 year old sister. He has cooked shortbread, chessey bread and scones all since I have been back!
I am defiantly enjoying the home baking though and can say it is much better than Nathan’s cooking! Although I would say he probably managed to beat Nathan with the mess he made, he did manage to spread the flour pretty far!
Well I can hear the rumours “can I cook dessert” from my brother coming from the kitchen so its looking good for me again tonight!

Everyone else has gone home ...
THE FLAT IS now empty apart from me with everyone else gone back home. I shall be off tomorrow on my long drive home.
Had a busy day doing student ambassador work at Drayton Manor today unfortunately we did not get to go on the rides though! However there was lush buffet lunch, which rather filled me up.
However I was still of course hungry when I got back, so had smoked salmon with cheesy mash potato and some seasonable vegetables, well Tesco frozen mix veg really but that sounds better!
So I am now sitting here writing this feeling stuffed and tired from a long day however I should pack and also do some uni work really!
I did all the washing up that was left in the kitchen, as anything that is left dirty gets chucked out. However it occurred to me whilst I was washing up; what is the one thing on a sink that is probably even more important it is there in a student flat! A overflow drain of course, with student forgetting and leaving the taps on this could prevent a big mess. However our overflow doesn’t work and the sink fills up and then floods, no I haven’t managed to flood the kitchen before! Just thought that was a bit stupid really, well anyway. I have also emptied the fridge of all the stuff that was left in there that will go off, I think otherwise some of the stuff may have smelt and looked interesting on our return in two weeks!

Easter Nearly here ....
WELL IT APPEARS Easter is pretty much here!
Ben and Nathan have gone home today for the holiday leaving just me and Simon here for a couple of days until we will both be gone too!
I finally helped Nathan pop his balloons today, as he had quite a lot left! Apparently he does not like popping them because of the noise and that a couple of them had flour in still! His room was stinking of rubber though so it would have been awful if he left them over Easter as they continued to slowly deflate. However with a knife I quickly popped all of the balloons. Then he set off home with his Mum who had come to pick him up!
I am very pleased with my Thirteen package as it has had well over 2,000 views in just twenty four hours!
We had fun last night however I will wait to tell you about it until the video I filmed is ready, so keep an eye here! However it has something to do with Nathan attempting to cook!

Work, work work!
A FAIRLY UNEVENTFUL weekend with just work, work, work! However only a week until Easter holiday now!
Made a surprise discovery yesterday evening after trying to contact Australia to arrange a trip I want to do out there! I battled with my landline and the extension for dialing a different country. I then decided to use the other option the tour operator gave me to contact them! I downloaded and installed Skype and dialed through with it. First time no answer, second time I was forwarded and somebody answered! I was already to use instant messenger however to my shock my computer had a microphone, which I had never known about and they could hear me and before I knew it I was having a conversation. On further investigation I found out my webcam which I have never really used has the microphone within. Anyway that was my first Skype Experience!
Was not impressed with Bens cooking technique last night, he microwaved a piece of delicious salmon and then splashed it with water after he cooked it to had some moisture! Not how I would cook salmon!

Best so far ...
A BUSY DAY TODAY, though nothing particularly exciting in the flat. Nathan has gone home for the weekend, as usual. This time in a week though I should be winding my way on the long journey back home to Cornwall. Looking forward to seeing my family as it has been a while!
Anyway I thought I would look back through my favourite few posts so far!
The best has to be filling up Nathans rooms with balloons, last night’s antics.
Also I like, dinner, showing how important food is to my blog!
Anyway please look through my past blog posts and don’t forget to comment!

Another day done ...
PRETTY STRESSFUL DAY today with one of the modules deadline suddenly changing, anyway it is better now! ...Enjoyed a nice wrestling match between Ben and Simon yesterday, was interesting though I think I did the wise thing and kept out the way. Eventually though Simon wrestled Ben out of his room and managed to lock it, before strolling out to his party! At least that was Ben knackered for the night.
Had a really nice Chinese all you can eat this evening, which was lush! Feeling bit stuffed now though to be completely honest, I do have the old problem of having eyes bigger than my belly! I had some lychees as I love them, but we kind of convinced Nathan they where kangaroo testicals. Perhaps unsurprisingly he turned down us trying to persuade him to try them and looked rather confused as I gobbled a load down!
Ben ate a stupid amount of cake, he took three big pieces of cake, one with profiteroles on and another was gateau and the last was chocolate cake, needless to say they where rather rich. It made us feel sick just sat there watching him eat them, swallowing big chunks in a go. The cake did beat him, he did leave a little tiny bit! I think though we all safely got our money’s worth!
