Only one day left of school, and then my summer holidays begin! Has been gorgeous weather today and hopefully it'll stay that way. Am on an all fruit diet; (well, I'm only eating fruit, veg and staples like bread and pasta)in preparation for PARIS!!!! (the ultimate girlie holiday) which is less than two weeks away now. Tried some sale items on in New Look at lunch time today and was VERY distressed by the appearance of my JELLY BELLY sans clothing. Am therefore taking remedial action IMMEDIATELY. Not only would I like to look FABULOUS in the new clothes which I will undoubtedly buy FOR my holiday when I go on a spree round Oxford on Friday, but I would also like to allow myself a couple of lbs leeway for the weight I will undoubtedly GAIN on my holiday through consumption of various croissants, breads, cheeses and glasses bottles of wine!

Am soooo BLOODY excited!

In other news, accidentally bought size sixteen knickers from Topshop (they were on a size ten hanger!! grrrr). xx

The Ball was lovely, and I DID fit into my dress eventually (Jill from Curves told me to go bra-less or try a different bra, and it WORKED! Maybe am not fat after all...)! The place was very pretty and posh (especially the loos!), and there was a chocolate fountain, and a bar which I spent FAR too much money at... Me and Rachael had the same shoes, but everyone was too drunk to notice, so this did NOT matter. Did a lot of dancing (and as was wearing heels, KILLED my feet, and had to take them off afterwards and walked BAREFOOT all the way up the Banbury road, drunk, to catch a bus into Oxford. SO sophisticated. Sam looked v. gorgeous and lovely in his suit. There was lots of (drunken) dancing to Abba, and various other COOL music. Everyone got together, and everyone had a good time, and everyone got into the group photo which STILL hasn't come through the post.

Had a good weekend; went to the pub Friday for a meal, then got elegantly pissed afterwards (elegant in the sense that I didn't show anyone my bra and I didn't start crying and asking everyone if they think I'm fat...), then Saturday was Sam's birthday, and I made him a cake and bought him London eye tickets, and spent the day with him.

I'm off school until next week now, as there is a week of fun educational activities for the lower school in which all the teachers are involved, so all sixth form lessons are cancelled. Had a girlie SKINS party last night with series 2 and lots of chocolate buttons, and have been out to lunch (another girlie outing) today and sat in a really cute, cosy cafe in Abingdon all afternoon eating mash potato and drinking tea, watching the rain come down and the floods come up, through the window. Am going to make the most of being off school, and possibly sleep all day tomorrow. This will be V. good for the diet, as if I am asleep I cannot eat, and I will have lots of energy in reserve for when I hit the gym after work! x

Today was the most gorgeous day ever - supposedly the hottest day of the year so far? Finished school at one and met Sam. He squeezed me to death and told me he was very sorry about yesterday. Then we went into Oxford to get my shoes. Was planning on spending fuck loads, and VERY NEARLY did in Karen Millen, but at the last minute decided this would be a bit of a waste as I would have no money for the next few weeks, and could get shoes just as nice (if I'm honest) for £20 in New Look. So that is exactly what I did.

We had lunch in Christ Church Meadow. Got baguettes and apple juice from a shop in the covered market, and strawberries from the fresh fruit stall and went and sat in the sunshine. Was lovely :] Would have been romantic if the park hadn't been full of smackheads and pissed uni students! Still, at least we had ready-made entertainment.

Tried on my ball dress when I got home to check if it still fits me, and was VERY annoyed to find that the zip no longer zips itself up to the very top. And it's a SIZE 10, FFS! I know I've eaten a lot of shit recently, and not really counted my calories but come on - I was expecting it to hang a little looser on me, If I'm honest, seeing as most of my clothes are eights nowadays! AM NOT IMPRESSED. At least I've got my shawl to cover up the zip that won't do up at the back. Am paranoid that I am going to look a bit like a lollipop, with skinny legs supporting a massive BLOBBY body! Mum says I look nice, but mum's are MEANT to say that.

Think I may have to do some sort of 48-hour-detox-fluid-loss-diet-thingy if I want to slim into this dress and NOT look like a deluded girl SQUEEZING herself into something which CLEARLY doesn't fit her. :[

But on the Bright Side (one has to look for a bright side when one is GETTING FAT): ANNIE HAS A DEBIT CARD!!!! This is good news for me, but bad news for my driving lesson fund. Just know I am going to spend spend spend, especially in Paris, as I can USE THE CARD ABROAD!!!! WEEEEEEEE, feel like I have been released from shopaholic prison (the past few weeks I have resisted SO many things as have been scrupulously saving - yes I regard this to be PRISION-LIKE), and am all set to go ABSOLUTELY CRAZY in a few weeks time, when the money from all my overtime comes in! Who knows, maybe I will even TREAT MYSELF to Karen Millen shoes?! or possibly LIPO SUCTION!!!!
