Whilst we were walking to the woods we came across this sign too, and for some random reason it really made me giggle! But then again, random is as random does!

Sunday Stroll!
Well what a lovely weekend I have had! The weather was beautiful too. I spent most of the weekend in Birmingham with my boyfriend. We went out to Cannock on Sunday too, he did a bit of downhill mountain biking while I tried to take photographs! Although the camera on my battery kept dying and he moved too fast for me to get a picture. As a result, most of the photographs are of pretty woodland scenary! Here are a few of him jumping:

I aint dead yet!!!
Well here I am, it's been a long time I know. A month in fact! Well a lot of things have gone on in my life. I am trying to remember where I left off!!!
First of all I had a phone call from my landlord giving me my 2 month notice period as he had decided to sell the property. Nice I thought! It was kinda poopy because I really got to like the house and also kinda cool as I will get to move to a new house. So there I am thinking of all the things I need to get done, like looking for somewhere to live, packing everything up, applying for a visa, sorting out my holiday stuff, you know, that sort of thing!
So one night I decide to go to bed early and read my book when there is a knock at the door. I ignore it, firstly because I was snuggled up warm in bed, and secondly because I knew the only person that would come to see me would be my sister, and she would ring first. So I lay there, hoping they go away when i hear them try the handle! I start to panic at this point. I get out of bed and creep into the other bedroom where I can see out of the window without whoever was out there seeing me. Now this bit really scared me. There stood at the end of my garden was two guys with hoods. Mt heart started to race. My breathing became shallow. It looked as though they were going to walk away. I stood there watching them for a moment when they turned round and took a flying kick at the front door. I rush back into my bedroom to grab my mobile, turning as many lights on as I can on the way. I phone my brother in law first, the only male i know in Manchester, he says he will be round as soon as possible and that i should stay upstairs and phone the police. I do as he says and get onto the police switchboard. The woman was very good. She kept talking to me while the hooded guys were still trying to kick the door down. At this point I was crying uncontrollably and shaking like never before. I've never been so frightened.
Then it stopped.
And that was worse than the banging. I wasnt sure if they has ran away, or if they had been disturbed or if they were coming to get me a different way! My sister and brother in law turn up 2 minutes later, and the police 1 minute after them. It turns out they were just opportunists in the area and that the police had been called out to a number of similar events like this in the area that night. They recommended that I stay at my sisters that night just in case they did try and come back. There was no way i was staying in that house after that alone anyway. I grabbed a few clothes and my toiletries and headed straight to my sisters for a large stiff drink and to phone my boyfriend.
The next day I phoned my landlord and he said he was going to transfer me as soon as possible to another house as he didnt feel safe having me living there alone. Within a week he moved me to a better location, and to a much better house, sharing with another guy.
So with all the hassle of moving and not sleeping properly I'm afraid I have not been updating as much I would have liked too. There are only good things on the horizon though. I go on holiday to Goa next monday with my friend Nikki and a few other girls. Should be great. I am also booked up to go back to Scrap-A-Ganza in holland again with my mum. I also have a little weekend break with my boyfriend planned. And another all expenses paid trip out with work too for an indian in Rusholme!
Anyway I think thats enough babbling on for now! I shall try and pop on more often. I do have a great photo of a sign i saw on sunday but i haven't uploaded them yet.
