  My Sister's Keeper: Movie

  
  

  So on Friday I took a day off of work (yes another day off!). And me and my mother went to the pictures together. It was the first time I have ever been to the pictures with my mother and the first time she had been in over 20 years.

  So we went to see "My Sister's Keeper", which I will admit was AMAZING. I cried my eyes out watching it and the acting in it was brilliant. At first I was a little bit worried, as Diaz doesn't normally do drama movies, Abigail is still a young girl and Sofia has only ever acted in TV shows such as Medium. But I did not have to worry as they were all amazing.

  
  

  The story in it broke my heart and I must admit that they choose the right actors. I know that the Fanning's sisters were suppose to be in this film, but I don't think that they could have done as good a job as Sofia and Abigail did portraying sisters.

  Overall a very emotional film, which I would recommend to anyone (especially girls/women), but I do have one piece of advice about this movie. TAKE TISSUES WITH YOU! YOU WILL CRY!!!!

  Welcome to a week in my life.

  
  

  Welcome to a week in my life. This week has been a strange one, and also the reason why I haven't been online as much as normal. Let me explain.

  On Tuesday of this week I had my driving theory test, which I spent the previous weekend revising/studying for. For 2 whole days my life revolved around, what the breaking distance is at 70mph in normal/good conditions and so on.

  So basically last weekend sucked, and so when I finally got to sit the test on Tuesday, I prayed I would pass it, so that I could finally have my time back as my own and finally be able to get further in my driving "career". And so the good news is that I passed my test, which is a huge relief.

  
  

  Also this week, we have had the death of 2 celebrities: - Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both of whom will be missed by many people. In other news it is finally Friday and I have lots to do this weekend. I have a video which I have to finish (and ER one, and the links will be posted here as soon as I have finished it!), a couple of movies to watch, a couple of shows to watch and also some movies/episodes to edit.

  So I leave you all now as I sit here watching Eden Lake, the first of many films I will be watching this weekend.

  My Painful Day

  

  There is only one word to describe the day I have had....painful. Let me tell you why.

  I took the day off of work today and decided to spend it doing one of my favourite things, shopping. So I went with my mother and my auntie and set myself a limit of £500. Well I spent over £220 in just one shop, but managed to stay on budget, which is good for me. Overall I think I spent about £400 which isn't too bad considering how much stuff I bought.

  
  

  Now I have to spend the weekend sorting through all of my old things and chucking things out and generally sorting out the pit which is my bedroom. But, the painful part, is not spending/parting with the money, it is my feet. I have been home now to 3 hours, and I've had a bath and yet my feet are still killing me.

  But apart from my pain, I'm really happy about how today went. I went treated my auntie and mother to s Starbucks, which turned out great as the guy serving us only charged us for a cookie and a bottle of water which came to £2.50 and didn't charge us for the coffees which we ordered (which would have been around£8.00 on top). So that also really made my day.

  Apart from that I have nothing else really to report; I have made a couple more videos, which are all on YouTube. A link to my page is here>>>> http://www.youtube.com/user/vicki24c click on it and see my latest work, comments/feedback are great and help me to improve on my skills (since at the moment I don't really have that any).
  

  So that's it a guess for today, I'm off now to try and start sorting out my junk/crap/stuff in a huge pile. Wish me luck!!!
