Today was average. I'm still under house arrest due to the sunburn on my face - yes i do now have a extremely higher factor sun block - spent my day watching day time tv and talk shows. The high life to say the least.
I did in fact come online and look up holiday prices to Florida, managed to find a uber cheap one on Travel City Direct for April next year. Perfect, but as i have recently applied for Disneys CRP (Cultural Representative Programme) and we don't find out the outcome until the 2nd week in September it would be foolish to book any sort of holiday now.

Speaking of CRP , OMG I'm so excited about the applications this time round. I feel my application i alot stronger this time round so am hoping it will get noticed .. for the right reasons. They say 3rd times a charm. How amazing would it be to spend a year working in Epcot. I would go through alot of sun block!

Back to my day, about 2pm i had to go out in the sun to collect Josh from his Dad as he was sleeping over mine tonight. Certainly is hot over here at the minute. Main reason he's sleeping over tonight is to see my mum of in the morning as she's going to hospital to have a Gastric Bypass tomorrow. She's not nervous, dunno why i'm a nervous wreck for her. Least she will finally be feeling happy with herself.

Day one of the diet. Milk for breakfast - Bad idea though because by 11am i was starving and had a sandwich. Opps. But all in all i has Sugar Free Jelly for my lunch. Glass of milk for a snack and i had Chicken Nuggets and Chips (with the skins on) for dinner. I know that's not partically healthy but it's what i cooked Josh and i had a tiny amount so i'm feeling pretty good at the end of the day today.

Nightime, the usual routine with Josh, Kids programmes, Bath then Bed. Then a bit of me time and Big Brother on the TV, although i did miss the eviction bit so i'm clueless as to who went?
See you tomorrow Bloggers =]

Today has been very uneventful to say the least. I had to brave it this morning out in the sun to take Joshua to playschool. BIG mistake. Face was burning like crazy. Luckily my grandad came to my rescue and took me home in the car.
My Blackberry Pearl came today, very disappointed with it. Stuck it straight back on ebay.

Kinda spent my whole day dossing around and i finally tidyed my bedroom which looked like a bomb had hit it. Had a good old clearout, sorted through all my clothes , what i did and did not want and stuff i have unfortunatly got to big for and now am on a crash diet to help restore my figure.
Day One begins tomoro. Milk and Sugar Free Jelly here i come.

Just a short one today as i really have nothing to report but peace out bloggers i shall see you bright and early for day one of the diet =]

A little bit about me

Hi
My names Natalie Napier-Raikes. I'm 21 years old.
I thought i'd start by telling you all a little about myself. I live in the United Kingdom in a small seaside town down south called Littlehampton. I live with my mum, Michelle and brother, Ben. I have a 3 year old Son called Joshua who lives with his dad most of the time but stays here on mondays, tuesdays and some weekends. When he's here its pretty manic. I no most would say it's very unusual for the child to live with the dad but this works for us. I prefer working and his dad prefers being at home. We broke up when Josh was only a few months old but we do get on.

I work in a care home in a place called east preston which is about a 15 minute car drive from where i live. Does get annoying as i don't drive yet and rely on lifts and buses, harder so as i do night shifts and buses don't go that late but i somehow always make it in on time (just). I do like my job but it is always the same thing, I get bored very easily and i've been in this place a year almost so i'm looking for a new job currently just for a change of scenery.

Some of my hobbies? Well i absolutly love to travel but i've been pretty set in where i travel to in recent years and i have not gone anywhere other then Florida, Orlando for the past 4 holidays in a row. I love it there. Being a HUGE Disney fan i can't get enough of Walt Disney World. To me it's just the most magical place in the world. I've even planned my own Marriage Proposal there, and whoever the lucky guy may be best not disappoint ;). Not only do i love Disney, Universal Studios is amazing. I can't wait to get out there again and experiance The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter as i'm also a bit of a Harry Potter Fan too. I just love Ron and Dobby. Last went 28/01/10 for two weeks, over my 21st birthday and it was freezing! Never again in that cold, didn't feel like florida, but all in all a good holiday.
I'm a very social person and love to go out with my friends. Be it a BBQ down the beach or a gathering in the local pub, Can always count on my friends to be out and ready to have some fun. We have all been enjoying the thrill of the World Cup recently all making the effort to come together for the England Matches. Gotta love the atmosphere when we score.

Well there is a million and one more things to know about me, but i don't wanna get you all sitting here reading for hours on end so daily i'll keep you updated on my day to day life and also add in some interesting facts. Have a good day Bloggers and check back tomorrow for more updates from a Disney dreamer =]
