- those emails you get from random banks, asking you to send them your bank details. I never get them from the banks I have accounts with, thankfully
- when my brother had his identity used fraudulently by some people ordering things from very.co.uk, they had set up a credit account in his name and he was getting the charges
- the 02 charges that people get on their bank statements, sometimes even non-02 customers get them
- when the phone rings, you pick it up and there's an automated voicemail saying you've won a car or a holiday or something. Yeah right!
- the "cash for gold" schemes, especially the ones where you post them back
- several scams connected to selling something through Auto Trader
- where companies invoice you for advertisi...
mar 15 2010 ∞ sep 14 2015 +
- I never leave anything plugged in, unless it's the computer or the fridge/freezer
- I don't drive much and walk when I can
- I recycle endlessly and try and encourage my family to do it. I actually hover around the bin when I see someone at home putting trash in to see if they are throwing recyclable stuff away
- I "make do and mend". I'd rather repair a pair of socks than go out and buy a new pair and end up throwing a decent pair away
- when I'm cleaning out the house I go to great efforts to reycle things that the council don't take away for us, i.e. cables, CD's etc.
- I don't eat meat, and that's meant to be better for the environment. Somehow.
- I use the library rather than buying tons of new books
- I give clothing, jewellery, shoes, access...

- Nannan Betty
- she had the most beautiful soft skin, especially on her neck
- she was constantly making cups of tea for people, hence my brother nicknaming her Betty Tea Bags when he was tiny
- her phone voice. She had a broad Yorkshire accent but when she answered the phone this posh voice came out of nowhere
- her almost psychadelic floral dresses made from that shiny silky fabric
- she was obsessed with knowing where her purse was at all times and either myself or my brother would have to carry it up to bed just before she retired for the night
- she used to call my brother a little jessie if he cried, which used to make me giggle because I thought it was a girls name

- I have never met my great-grandparents on my father's side, and I doubt he'd know how they died, sadly enough ...
- Minas Papa had a stroke a few days before Christmas, fell into a coma and died on December 31st. The actual details haven't trickled through from the family in California yet ...
- my grandpa Ron died last year, natural causes I guess, although I've never really asked about that
- my great-grandma Mabel ... not sure either
- my great-grandma Teresa died fairly young, not sure how though
- my great-grandpa Walt died after being in hospital for an operation, I think there was something wrong with his kidneys but I could be mistaken there. My mum thinks it was something to do with his lungs though, as he was a miner for all his life
jan 4 2010 ∞ mar 25 2012 +
- being negative
- ignoring the fact I need to exercise, not as much for my health as it is for my happiness & mind
- being grumpy, especially on a morning
- being controlling, I need to learn to go with the flow!
- having ridiculously late lie-ins
- procrastinating so much
- being jealous of certain people who seem to have their life together
- worrying about my weight, I've never done this before so why start now
- avoiding nail polish
- drinking so much soda
nov 30 2009 ∞ mar 25 2012 +

nov 2 2009 ∞ mar 25 2012 +
- lots of money, that'd be nice :P
- my dad's strong work ethic
- the ability to make a home happy, safe & clean
- my nannan's general loveliness & friendliness
- and her ability to not get stressed over little things (already inherited that from dad I guess, too late!)
- the ability to look young when I'm older, both sets of grandmas look(ed) amazing for their age
- my nannan's soft skin
- little personal mementos, like photographs & favourite objects, they mean a lot when that person is no longer around
- to be able to lavish my kids with attention and love (thanks mum)
- my dad's old address book
- my dad's thesis ... if we ever find that again
oct 19 2009 ∞ mar 25 2012 +
- anything by Enya. I had a school friend who would sing or chant her songs at me. Egh.
- Ray Charles - "I Can't Stop Loving You". It makes me cry.
- Gene Pitney - "I'm Gonna Be Strong" (think that's what its called?) for the above reason.
- R.E.M. - "Everybody Hurts". Far too depressing.
- The Monster Mash.
- Christmas songs & carols, apart from "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby. Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is the worst offender.

- Sinead O'Connor - "Nothing Compares 2 U".
- The music that used to come on with Central TV.

- what I need to buy for the new house
- what to buy people for Christmas (at the moment anyway)
- shoes
- random illnesses and whether I have them or not
- my grandparents
- morbid things that stop me from sleeping
- where the people I have known in my life are now & what they are like
- my teeth & my braces
- fucking work issues (let's not go there!)...
sep 29 2009 ∞ mar 25 2012 +
- tell someone about my "secret"
- or even simply email it to Post Secret
- try some form of extreme sport, like white water rafting, surfing or skiing
- eat fish or seafood
- do hardcore exercise, not sure why I'm scared of that, I'm sure it all comes from scary P.E. classes at school ...
- get a tattoo
- do something about my problems
- watch horror films
- do kareoke
- shave part of my head, in a tasteful way, like Alice Dellal
- tell Matt how I really feel at times
- move away
- see a medium
- contemplate writing a book
sep 6 2009 ∞ feb 8 2022 +
- hit him in the face with an umbrella on a date
- drunken beach race in the early hours of the morning
- talked about anything and everything for hours upon end, perhaps not memorable, but for someone who is not a big conversationalist (him) it is
- got lost in a dodgy area of London at 3am
- created the most amazing edible work of art ("Food Face")
- known each other for 8 years before thoughts of being together even came into our minds
- the early morning after the night before takeaway on the beach. That was nice : )

- alcohol - it's too cheap therefore people just abuse it way too easily. I'm sick of going places and seeing yobs staggering around drunk.
- licensing laws - pubs open 24/7, no thanks
- NHS - while it's great and everything so many hospitals have really poor standards.
- people that take drugs, although that's not country-specific really, is it?
- rising levels of obesity - related to the hideous deals on junk food that supermarkets promote
- the culture that it's uncool to care. So many people just don't give a shit about anything any more
- the north/south divide
- weather - too cold, too rainy (sod the plants), too windy, not enough sun and warm weather. Could go on for pages and pages...

- countless school projects, ones that come to mind are ...
- my Captain Cook project, did it all in one day when I was about 8. I had all summer to do it and I totally forgot. Spent the last day of my summer holidays stuck inside working
- a history project in Year 8 or 9 when Natalie & I worked with Matt P & Matt, we actually did nothing ... the boys were bad influences!
- one on teeth when I was five, I've still got it. The front cover of the book is totally covered in glitter. Bling bling!
- my very glamourous (and slightly gay) bar for graphics in Year 11. The one project in graphics I actually did work for!
- my dissertation. It's quite epic actually. Loved it :)
- cataloging my video games ...

- I'd try and call every family member, friend and my fiance, and tell them that I love them
- possibly get together provisions & try & find somewhere safe, like a bunker ... not sure where to find one of those though?!
