Stolen wedding moments



Been a long time since I wrote an entry, my mind has been somewhere else lately.


After the Easter holidays, SLS hosted a Reunion ball along with CSU, the event was a success and people enjoyed themselves. It was nice to see old faces and to see that people do appreciate the work SLS does.

        The following week, SLS hosted a quiz to raise money for a local deaf children's charity. A good number of people came and enjoyed themselves. The quiz was hard in some parts but I thought it was fun and a good brain work out too! There was a round about Wolverhampton itself which provided to be popular, testing out the local knowledge!


I attended a meeting in London to discuss the possibility of trying to re establish BDAYouth as there is a strong need for some sort of organisation for young people between 18-30 especially in England. It was agreed that an open forum would be set up.


I watched Phantom of the Opera on stage AGAIN! love that show

I also managed to hand in my dissertation after some initial confusion regarding the module which was frustrating for both the lecturer and myself! I passed this module which mean I can graduate this year!  What a relief. My mum was very very pleased and as a result went a wee bonkers on her Facebook and family email!


When waiting for the results, I had a well deserved rest, as I was feeling slight burnt out. It was exciting for me knowing that Deaffest was happening which meant new films and awards as well as lovely friends!!


I enjoyed Deaffest despite having a very heavy cold and a cough which tired me out too much to attend the evening event. I had a pleasant evening watching the Eurovision, a few months later I don't recall who won! Just that weird vampire bloke and the bloke who sang about working in the IT dept!


My landlord moved to Belgium and now is working for the EUD, when this was made news, I got several requests for renting the spare bedroom which was very strange as my landlord moved out honks ago to live in Bristol and a new flatmate moved in last September so people must have thought David was commuting! Sorry folks!  My flatmate is pretty happy where she is for now!


I also decided to apply for a PGCE post compulsory course at Wolves uni, more education in the place I struggled at? Yes I am very weird and a glutton for punishment!

I have been for an interview and is currently awaiting to hear if I have a place or not, it is been more than 10 working days now which is really frustrating for me as it would be nice to know if I have a place or not!
This frustration is also because my classification is not out yet, I was told it would be out on the 12th July and now they are saying the 24th which is very grrrrrrr!

I spent most of my early June just relaxing and catching up on tv as my flatmate was away so I could slob out and be a wee bit messy! I visited my parents in Scotland for a week as I  said I would keep an eye on my brother and the family dog when they went to some history thingy in Dublin, for the first time since my parents got Tara (the dog) I had to ask my baby brother how to feed her as I have never done it before!  I honestly am not an animal lover, I find them weird.


I would have stayed longer but I needed to prep for the PCGE interview and Stoney came over to prep me which was much appreciated!

The interview went well, I think and bloody hope so! Please people, keep your fingers crossed for me!

I ordered this really lovely 50s floral swing dress for a wedding in Newcastle, I watched this adored friend get married which was pretty wonderful! The wedding overall was really simply vintage and quite elegant, none of that OTT that seem to be happening these days with doves, and horse drawn carriages etc!

The happy couple :)
Really glad to be asked, it was so beautiful!



I was glad I got a chance to wear the dress as seeing my suitcase was stolen from the train when I was on my way to Newcastle! :0

With a smoking hot friend! 

I cannot understand why would anyone want to steal a suitcase that just had clothes and a few things. I was pretty glad that I was carrying my valuables with me such as iPad, passport etc! I made a report to the lost property office as well the British Transport police (the policeman was pretty cute which did not hurt at all!) then sped to the Metrocentre for a quick last min shopping for stuff I badly needed, it was frustrating as I didn't wanna have to have such hassle. Thanks to the parents and Char for helping out, I was really panicking ESP when I thought my tablets was in the suitcase. I later found them in my handbag yay!

I was given a crime reference number for insurance purposes and this peeved me as who would take out travel insurance for a train trip?! Later on the week, I received an email from my bank letting me know that the charge for my account would go up by an extra £2, and there was a list of benefits which included travel insurance......! It seem I upgraded my bank account last year to get mobile insurance and I kinda of forget about this! I contacted them and it was confirmed that I could claim for UK travel as long it was more than 25 miles from home, a minimum of 2 nights away and the trip was pre booked. I met all of these requests so I have typed up a letter detailing. What happened, where when what why etc as well as a list of things that was stolen, a list of things I had buy to replace at short notice etc.


I was annoyed when they said they couldn't cover perishables such as make up, toothpaste, shampoo and so on as some stuff I had collected/was given and was pretty expensive!   Bahhhhhhhhh! But better than nothing so I hope they will approve my claim and give me money to replace stuff!


My flatmate is away YET again so I am bumming about the flat feeling rather lonely, so I checked the cinema listings and decided to have a cinefest week :)


Monday- Monsters University

Tuesday - Now you can see me
Wednesday- the internship

My next posting will be about a camping festival and twitter!



Fact: I love 50s dresses and owe 4 so far  :)
