So it has finally come despite all attempts to stop time and all my pleading with God to stop the sun as he did for Gidian (at least I think its Gidian) it seems that turning 20 is just one of those inevitable things that one just has to face in life! Also my case is not quite as strong as Gidians!!
However now I am here it doesnt feel too bad, not that i was expecting dramatic greying of the hair or anything...Its not that old after all, infact nothing dramatic has happened at all ( I can hear u all going "well Durrrrr!!") but you would imagine that with a date as seemingly significant as 20, something should happen! But not a sausage!!
Well tonight is a night on the tiles in Studio with my friends, 50p night so who could resist!! So I will post photos of all my lovelie people then...
sorry for the short entry but i have work to do and revision that needs starting,
Ciao for now xxxFfixxx

OH NO!!...
.....Only 12 days to go!!! You have got to be kidding me right?! 12 days left of being a teenager....Gaaaaaaaahhhh! No fair!
OK, so, 12days to cram as many mood swings in as possible, 12 days left in which i can use the phrase, "well I'm entitled to, I'm a teenager!". 12 days left of the freedom and sense of "youngness" one gets with teens (at least im guessing its related to being a teenager....we shall see!) And 12 days left of not sounding OLD!!! Also theoretically 12 days left of spots, but the world being the way it is that one little thing, the only one im actually looking forward to, will be the one that doesnt change the day i hit 20!
I am not a happy bunny! The only good thing is that I get 2 birthdays! woohoo...(note the sarcasm)...I get to turn 20 TWICE! No this is a good thing as I get to spend my actual birthday with my Lovely Uni mates, a new experiance but i also get a great day with all my family and mates at home here too! So hopefully, with quite a bit of wine involved, i can forget the actual reason everyone is making a fuss over me!
Hmmmm.....

My hands feel like sandpaper....AND....they're all streaky!!
Ok, an odd title for this blog but let me explain.....
Working in the old caffe of Nero, one has to use considerable amounts of chemicals to make sure everything is spick and span and disinfected, however the effect on ones hands and lower arms is quite remarkable, as whilst using said chemicals one forgets that one should be wearing gloves to protect said hands and lower arms...however, me (being me) forget that vital piece of information every day! so consequently (and after much rambling), my point is, is that they (the hands and lower arms) are practically the same texture as Grade-4 sandpaper (oh the joys of D.T. GCSE for knowing such things as the grades in sandpaper)!!!
Understand the first half of the title now? "Yes Ffion!" I hear u cry, "but what about the second half....Streaky?Whats that all about?!" Well as those of u who know me well know (infact scrap the "well".....if uve known me for 2 days or more u'll know this!) I am a fairly vain person. Also as some might know i naturally have fairly brown skin but having not seen the light of real sunshine in around 2 yrs (not counting Thailand as it was just cloudy the whole time being rainy season, so tanning wasnt that successful!) my palour is suffering somewhat! So, to get on with my point (which i am labouring incredibly!) I decided, having seen the ads on T.V and being a sucker for a bargin and any new-fangled gimick, i decided to by some Garnier 'upside-down-spraying' fake-tanning stuff. This i have to add now is the first time in my litte life i have ever fake tanned, mainly cos i havent needed too but this time i succumed. I can hear ur groans even as i write this so i hasten to add that actually it turned out really well and I AM NOT ORANGE!!! Horrah!!
So whats all the "streaky" stuff about then miss george? well it turns out that whilst the fake tan is resistent to conventional soap and water and will (under normal circumstances) last up to two weeks, it does not cope well under the strain of industrial strength 'D10 Cleaner' and the other products used in Nero. My point being that not only are my hands now all dry and sore but also a very interesting hue of brown/white/red in varying streaks and patterns, designed by the corrosive cleaning fluid!
hmmmm!...So, that is my story for the day, hope u all enjoyed it....Untill next time my friends,
Tra......... X
P.s: Celebration bash for my birthday with my Bath mates is happening next friday so expect photos very soon of funness and random people that u durhamites wont know! oh well! they will still be interesting i hope! Oh and Nicloa is coming down to see me and lovely Bath that week too! hurrah!! tra x

Random thing I realised while at washing dishes....
Ok so while staring out of the top floor window off Caffe Nero today whilst attempting to wash up dishes, I was suddenly struck by how odd the effects of holidays from university really are. By this I mean one week away just felt like one week away, Uni still felt real and my uni mates still felt close (by close i mean 'physically' close), I was still imagining their responses to things i had done that day whilst cooking dinner etc. But after one week back and when life in Bath has returned so sweetly to the state it was in before i left for uni last october, (routines with friends and with work etc...) University, and Durham in general including all the amazing things that have happened whilst being there now seem like some super fantastic and i may add very realistic dream. I get this alot with life in general....not just with uni...For example... 1 month after returning from Thailand - the fact I had been there, to Thailand seemed like a rediculous concept! despite all photos and emails and letters i still, even now, find it hard to believe i actually did go there and that it wasnt all just a very good dream. Not saying i dont believe all u guys exist cos i know u do, but it doesnt seem "real" in the same way as the life i am now living does....Does this make any sense at all? Also does anyone else ever feel like this or is it just one of the many fantastical fantasies of Ffion?? I would appreciate feed back on this, i am quite perplexed? Any theories anyone?
Also thought u might like to know that i did actually do work today, though got told off for spending 10mins staring out the window whilst a particularly large queue waited for the freshly cleaned crockery that I was supposed to be doing! Honestly what's a girl to do??
Love y'all
