beth-custard cool, sad, mad, fab life! (part 3)

Some people mite say that the end of the year is boring, because there’s nothing to do and the nights are to dark, well its not boring for me, infact I considers the back end of last year to be a hive of activity, well first in September there was the end of summer ball, me and mum went with hayley and Chris, n there was lots of people there that we knew, in fact 5 of my best friends were there, and there was Christine(my French teacher and also the other bridesmaid my sis had at her wedding), it was very funny there, especially when hayley and Chris decided they didn’t want the meals they had ordered and they did infact like the look of each others meals so they changed their name tags round, Chris got a few odd looks, with his name tag saying hayley n all that, oh and then Chris played a trick on uncle Sid(who was also sat on our table) there were aftereight mints there and uncle Sid went to the loo, so Chris took Sid’s after eight mint out the rapper and put hayleys name tag in it then put it back in the same position as it was in before, uncle Sid’s face was a picture when he went to get an after eight mint and there was a piece of card init, don’t worry we did give him another one!!

The second thing that made the end of my year was…..ill give you a clue……picture Scotland in November!!! Yes we went to Glencoe(witch is in Scotland) in November, it was soooo brill, me, mum and dad went with hayley, Chris and Harry! we had a prezzie day there, n we saw fireworks, and we went up a mountain in cable cars(which was hilarious coz mums scared of heights and she doesn’t much like cable cars) and the mountains were incredibly big, no they were infact HUGE! No really I didn’t even know that mountains were sooo close to my doorstep I really didn’t believe they were in the next country to me and I really didn’t believe they were as huge as they are!! Fort William was good, I especially liked it coz I could txt my sister and my m8s there! Because we couldn’t use our mobiles where we were coz there was no signal! Oh the second best bit of the holiday was going on a ferry, it was fabulous, I so did not know that sooo many cars could fit in a ferry, seriously, we were waiting to get in and out came 3 lorry’s and a tanker! And here comes the best bit………………..wait for it…………….. We went on the ferry to get to the island of mull, witch has a place where we went on it and that place is called tobermory and that was the very place where the kids TV programme balamory was filmed so in short I want to balamory!!!!!! That was the thing that made It the best holiday like ever!!!!!

So that brings me to 2008, haven’t done much this year, gone to my sisters a couple of times, went round the castle the other week with my sister and her friends, which was very interesting, as we saw the magnacarter, which was pretty interesting!

And my FOSTER sister(not to be confused with my real one) is pregnant and we found out the other day that she’s having a girl! So I can see me getting lots of pocket money by baby sitting an changing lots of smelly nappies, GROSS arh!

So that’s it from me now, next time I do a blog ill probably have lots to talk about including my doctor who and red dwarf DVD collections, because hopefully ill have finished them by then! Lol ok then bye bye for now x x x x

 

beth-custards, cool,sad,mad,fab life!!!! (part 2)

You may be wondering where the name beth-custard came from well I will tell you beth is my nick name that evry 1 calles me, but custard that a funny story, well I have a cousin called david that’s 3 years older than me n when I was aboue 8 he decided that the words custard and cousin sound the same so from then he nick named me custard n I nicknamed him rhubarb (so now I call him rhubarb and him and his sisters all call me custard!)

a while after mum got her arthritis, me, mum and dad went to black pool for the weekend it was gr8 we went 2 Louis Tussaud's Waxworks (witch is a bit like madam tussaud's, but smaller) and i had my photos taken with 1) James bond 2)Marilyn Monroe 3)kiley minogue 4)a photo of me in a model corrie pub 5)Elvis 6)Madonna 7)cher 8) the queen mother 9)prince Harry and William! 10)princess Dianna and the queen! 11) William the conqueror 12) Richard the lionheart! my dad has his photo took with Clint eastwood, Elton john and he also head butted Gordon Ramsey! hahahehe!!

after that we went to the Doctor Who Museum where me and dad had our photos taken with, the cyber men and mum had hers taken with a dalek (to this day I cant work out witch one is witch) (hehe) I also got to have a snoop round in the control room of the tardis (but sadly didn’t get to fly itSad ) and I saw all the old costumes that the doctors used to wear and even met k9 DogBig Smile and met this men there pretending to be one of the old doctors (Jon pertwee i think) lol! and the lights in black pool are amazing, i soooooo let my inner child came out that weekend

everybody on here will know that one of a good thing is never enough, 2 on the other hand is much much better! well I especially discovered this when i went to flamingo land and Scarborough twice! well the only time i remember going to Scarborough was when I was about 10, mum and dad had took me and Emily and Katy(the girls next-door) to the sea life centre there!

That was quite a funny story actually, I remember we were walking along the bath by the beach after, but the sea was VERY rough , and there was like the beach, and then the path( but the path was kind of above the beach) so like there was about 10m steps you had to climb up to get to the path from the beach to the path, and then there was a grass bit, where you had to climb another 10 steps to get to, well I remember being stood on the stairs between the path and the grass, n the waves were coming over the wall and onto the path (coz there’s a wall between the beach n path) anyway me, mum and Emily n Katy were all running down the stairs when the waves came over the wall, n they were landing on the 2nd step n we were all running to that step and getting our feet wet, and dad was stood at the top of the stairs saying to us all, ‘‘your all nutters, im not joining in and im NOT getting wet’’ well a few waves after he’d said that, a really BIG wave came if was about 6ft am the least! Well it came rite up over all the steps and rite on to the grass, and it soaked us all, the looks of shock and astonishment on our faces as we all stood there soaked was priceless!!!

Anyway Id never been there after that, and in 2006 a few months after mum got poorly, my dad took me and tom and claressa (to of my best friends) to flamingo land, that was an ace day and I sooo loved being with them, and then a couple of weeks later hayley and Chris(hayley’s husband) said they were taking Harry to Scarborough and asked if I would like to come with them and so I did, it were well good, I went on a speed boat, wow speed boats feel sooooo ace! And then me and hurry went on the big wheel, and hayley went on the shake it with me and we all went on the dodgems it was an ace day and really enjoyed it! Well what a surprise got then, when last year (2007) mum and hayley had a fabulous

Idea of booking a hotel and going to flamingo land on a Saturday and then going to Scarborough on a Sunday, well I was sooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooo chuffed I really, really, really, really, enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!!!! (my inner child came out then as well)

heya! im beth! (as you might have already guessed!) im 16, iv been a young carer for 2 years now (well nearly 2 years anyway) i care for my mum who has arthritisSad, my mum and dad split up when i was young, but i still see my dad a lot, infact they get along more now than they did when they were together (witch is a bit odd)Huh? i have a sister called Marisa (who is 28) and personally i think she’s the best sister in the world! iv always wanted a brother (but haven’t got one) well no actually that’s a lie because i adopted ewan as my brother in the chat room the other day ( and im now considering adopting Sam as my aunty!)Big Smile any way back to the subject, i do have a brother-in-law called mike (who is 27), i do believe i get on rather well with mike, infact i think he’s the best brother in law in the world, but im not going to tell him that, as it is a common known fact that younger sister-in-laws do NOT admit to liking there brother-in-laws, and im sure any one with a brother-in-law would agree with me!! (and just 2 let u know im a Jehovah’s witness so if any 1 has any questions 4 me about it feel free 2 ask)!! Smile lets see what should I talk about now??? likes and dislikes, well i like a lot of things, here are a list of them! 1)doctor who! 2)going 2 my dads flat & my sisters house! 3)being with my friends! 4) painting (and anything to do with art! 5) poems, i love writing my poems! 6) skating, im not really that good on the ice, but i must admit i am getting much better! 7)Cleethorpes kite festival, its such a grate event the kites there are huge! 8)music, listening 2 mika always makes me happy! 9) holidays, iv been on holiday 2 many places, London was a good one, but I do prefer 2 be in Scotland, gala, Glasgow ,Edinburgh etc: iv been 2 all them places, but my favourite place is Glencoe, infact id like 2 move there when im older!Big Smile  10) BIG HUGS , anyone want a hug??? come 2 me!!!Big SmileRight Hug!!!!! things I don’t like are 1) any vegetables that aren’t green(except carrots and potatoes) 2)my dads veerry smelly feet! 3)the speed in witch my legs seem to grow hair! 4)being cold! 5) bullies! 6)lots more things ( to many to name) 7) people nagging, and one of the worst people I know for nagging is hayley, hayley came to live with us when she was younger and we sort of adopted her in a way, and we haven’t seemed to be able to get rid of her since, but oh how she nagsIndifferentConfused hayley has a son called Harry, I think hed be pretty hard to get rid of as well, not that we want to ofcorse because he’s our haz! Smile erm, more about me?? my favorite girls name is tiffany, my favorite boys name is kinloch! ( from kinlochleven in Glencoe) (ill tell u about that later in this blog)

my mums arthritis started the day after my cousins wedding, she had a bug ( or so we thought) then somehow she got from bad to worse, it went from just a normal bug to a painful joint condition! then she became bed bound, which wasn’t very pleasant at all, i had to help her walk to the loo, and nearly do everything! witch I really did NOT like Indifferent (dad came 2 help me move he bed downstairs, and i slept on the floor on a bed next 2 her incase she need me in the night!, I really didn’t want to be a young carer at first, and mum didn’t want me to be one, mum wanted her freedom and I did not want the responsibility, but as time passed we got used to the fact and now were fine with it!!Big Smile
