Heya girls!

Just thought I'd drop in and say: Prom was last night! It was pretty good! But kinda spoiled by my best friend having a major drama with his girlfriend. Today we had a little leavers do and I got an award ^^ Apparently for my constant dedication and effort with schoolwork XD Mad! Ah well.

My love and best wishes to all of you!

xxxx

Okay, I have Drama Club in like 10 minutes but: I HAVE DONE MY FRENCH SPEAKING!!!! WOO

I got one of the topics I wanted and the other one was ok, but I was hyperventilating before so the examiner was being uber nice :D

But the roleplay I didn't even get a chnace to look at so I made half of it up and I didn't know what one of the questions was, but ah well! I think I did okay... I hope XD

Thank you all so much for wishing me luck :D Makes me feel very happy

Love you all!!

P.S. Drama Tech rehearsal today! It went so well. I only messed up on bit when we do a count down and stop at 5 but I said 4 as well. Ah well, just can't do it on the day!

EEE! I'm so happy for you Soraya!!!!!! :D:D:D

I have to be quick, I'm on a major revision quest (RE and French ) but at least they'll be over this time next week! Woop!

Anyway, hope you're all doing well and having a great Sunday!

Hey all!!

Tryed to post yesterday, but my computer crashed  Ah well, 'tis alive now.
All the h/w got done but I'm MAJORLY freaking about exams now. And I got my grade for my Art Design thing I did a while back: Just on an A, but if the moderators change the marks it may become a B. I really need to revise for my exams. My mum may actually kill me if I don't get good enough marks- my sister got straight A*s.

Anyhoo rant over, will try to catch up later when it's not 11:54 pm. Time for some TLC with DT (as the 10th Doctor of course)

Love, Helena.

P.S. I GOT THE BOX SET OF DR.WHO SERIES 2 TODAY!!!! EEE! Sorry

Gina: Wow! You really do look amazing, there is a noticeable difference!

Karey and Karen: Thanks! I will do. I got a new inhaler today to add to my other two so it will hopefully make a difference but I have to go back in a fortnight.

I'm starting to get nervous about exams now- at school we were given a new exam timetable and I have my french in about 2/3 weeks and my RE is only a fortnight away! At least I'm more confident on RE than French XD

Weigh in today: 120

Hope everyone's having a goood day xx

Karen- Urgh, can't wait until my french is over, the other ones i'm not fussed about really- I don't have to memorise XD Only 2 months to go and then Promness!Wooo

Ooh hiking sounds fun!! And yeah the weather here in good old England isn't too bad either XD

xx

Aww, I hope you feel good soon!! I've always thought it sounded fun
I will do :) And I'm just reading over my french again and again XD

Hey all.

Wow, it seems like forever since I last posted on here. Everything just got completely away from me! So busy with exams and revision and family stress and just general mad teen stuff. Sorry for not keeping up and I don't think I'll be able to really, barely have time to relax now that I'm really starting to have to revise madly. My first exam is only 3 weeks away (french) and I have to memorise about 60 paragraphs for it and my memory sucks with English so I'm pretty much going to be glued to it 24/7 for a while.

In other news, I now have my prom dress!! :D It's really pretty and I'm in love with it. I still need jewellery, makeup, shoes, hairstuff etc etc though :(
And I no longer have a date for it because he now has a girlfriend :( But hey, I can put up with going as a singleton I guess. I mean that's what I thought it was going to be originally anyway.   

Hope everyone's doing great and having an amazing weekend :)

Thank you anyway

x

Thank you so much for replying so quickly Lala!! Will do, thank you

Soraya, your comment almost made me start crying again, but happy tears this time. I don't know how everyone in this group is so amazingly awesome!

I think last night was just a bad night (evidently) but I'm feeling a bit better today. I'm a UK size 8/10 depending... sometimes a 6 (so that's a US 2/4/8 I think).
I don't have a therapist or support system... the only time I tried to talk to my mum about it she just said it was too expensive and there weren't any near anough for it to be worth it. To be honest, this group is the best thing that's happened to me for a long while and you girls really help a lot. I love you all (I'm in a slushy emotional mood, sorry)

Thank you so so much for replying Soraya, you made me feel so much happier already  I know i need to get rid of ED, he's just digging his feet in now that I've started doing better, but today I've managed to cut out my morning sesion of cardio and today and yesterday I cut out another section of it. I want to get it down to about 40 mins or so at the most soon so I'm working on it.

xxxxx Love to you all and hope you're doing great and having a 'mazin Monday

P.S. My name's Helena, Soraya. (Well, technically Helen but I prefer Helena xD)

k9- Fair deuce, least now I don't have to try and find some I hope it does too lol. I've also increased my protein intake and am trying to get more oil in as well.
