Christmas!

Hello everyone! I hope Christmas was good!!

Mine definitely was, being woken up early to check our stockings as the little ones were very excited is how it began, Sophie had asked only for chocolate when writing her list and didn't want to stop eating it when it came! Sophie and Zoe were both quite happy with the gifts I got them - matching Man United pajamas!!

The day progressed in usual fashion, people taking turns opening some very pleasing gifts and lots of smiles! I got a brand new suit which I was in need of as the one I had is far too small for me - the best thing about my new one is the blazer has 3 inside pockets!!

My Nan and Uncle Ian came round for a tasty Christmas dinner and a pleasant day! The Christmas special Doctor Who truly was amusing, I found the Doctor's assistant potato head person quite funny when he kept suggesting grenades!

So, tonight I am off to Nantporth to watch Bangor take on Prestatyn! Hopefully 3 points and some good entertainment. Tomorrow will be completely fantastic as me and Dad are off to Old Trafford to watch United v West Brom! It will be my first United premier league game and I cannot wait!

Sorry about this post being late but I forgot on Wednesday and ran out of time yesterday!
Thanks for reading!

Chrriiiissstttmmaaasss!

Hello people! An on time blog here for once!

So, as of yesterday I have finished college for Christmas! This is fantastic news of course, and better so that The Marches don't break up until Thursday.

Today I had my second driving lesson, cruising around villages surrounding Oswestry and through housing estates so there was pletty of turning and gear changing and stop starting and stuff. Mad focus levels required!

The weekend saw me and Dad go up to Nantporth to cheer on Bangor, it was a good day and decent match but frustrating as we took a 2-1 lead but couldn't kill the game off and ended up drawing 2-2, dropping 2 points. United won and are top at Christmas! Also, it has been confirmed that on the 29th, me and Dad are off to Old Trafford for the Man United v West Brom game!!

Driving!

Hello! Sorry for another day late post, I completely forgot yesterday!

First of all, on Sunday I turned 17! It was mostly a good day but overshadowed by feeling really ill, like I have been many days and had many days in the past week off college because of this. I don't really feel too much different for being 17 but of course I can now start learning to drive which I am very much pleased about. On Sunday morning I went out into an empty car park with Mum, she taught me how to start a car and I even did some laps!! I was amazed at how easy it all was and was really looking forward to my first driving lesson.

Yesterday morning was my first lesson, I was picked up and taken onto Morda Road where - to my surprise - I was put in the drivers seat and was driving for the whole hour! We went through loads of different surrounding villages and went in a big circle, ending up back at my house. The lesson went well, a lot of gear changing and manoeuvring were very dominant. I only made one big mistake, a quiet right turning where I had to change gear and left the clutch down when trying to accelerate - Doh!

So, I break up for Christmas holidays on Tuesday and am very much looking forward to that! Two weeks off college of as many lazy days as I want and avoiding the frosty, cold weather sounds very good. I would like to thank Robin van Persie for his fantastic birthday present on Sunday - his extra time free kick to beat Man City! How brilliant that was! Also, on Saturday I was at Nantporth for my first game in a while to watch Bangor best Aberdare Town 4-1 in the Welsh Cup. Not too bad a game and very good to see Bangor progressing!

This weekend, Bangor are at home against Carmarthen so I will probably find myself there. United are at home to Sunderland so that will hopefully be 3 more points, keeping at least 6 points between us and City!

Under the weather

Hello! Apologies for the late post!
So, it is currently 2 and a bit days until I turn seventeen! I'm mostly looking forward to starting driving lessons of course, but also will quite enjoy seeing family members and eating food of my choice - probably chilli con carne!

Last weekend I made a very important and rewarding decision - I was in town, freezing cold, with my friends at twenty past two and chose to rather than stand around bored and desperately cold, go home to watch the England rugby. In the previous two matches, England had fallen just short against Australia and South Africa but Twickenham still stood full of proud English folk, hoping that somehow they could get a result against New Zealand.
New Zealand did their pre-match dance to try and imitate England, only to be drowned out by the fantastic crowd chanting swing low, sweet chariot. The match was brilliant and just as it looked like the All Blacks were going to take the lead, a flurry of spontaneous tries saw a good distance between the two sides.
A very proud match and result indeed! Bangor didn't fare so well and lost to TNS - the scum themselves - due to some terrible officiating. Bangor are still top of the table though! United narrowly saw off Reading in a 4-3 goal fest.

Sunday, me and Mum traveled to Wrexham and I chose a new suit (Christmas gift). It has two excellent inside pockets - a feature all jackets should have.
I have finally fallen to the same cold virus as everyone in my house and had the day off college today because of it. Not good!

This weekend, I am heading off to Bangor on Saturday for a Welsh Cup game, then Sunday is the much anticipated day of course! Hopefully United can give me a present in the form of beating City!
Finally, the brilliant Lower Than Atlantis have released a Christmas song! Join the campaign to see them at top spot instead of some shambolic boyband or X Factor group this Christmas by buying the single!
