&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i started making a dress last night. i really like it. i had to stop, cause my eyes got too tired i couldn't thread the needle. and i couldn't find the ones that are easier to thread. was very unhappy. but still, i might even wear this dress, cause i think it's going to be good. i have also made a couple of bags.. but theyre not really bags yet - they don't have handles/straps yet, cause i wasn't sure what stuff to use. i'll figure something out though. i shall post pics if they turn out half decent. they probably won't, i just want them to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ALSO..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; i'm gonna start christmas shopping, and get it all over with. - shock. i'm usually the one who doesn't have half the things i'm meant to by christmas eve. p.s i can't believe i'm saying the C word, and it's not even december.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have loads more things to say, but i don't know if i know how to say them, so i better not chance it, getting blogger's block. plus, i think this post is long enough for my 'comeback' blog. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s i'm glad it's an inservice tomorrow, woohoo. three day weekend. yum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;bye bye x i'll try not to leave such a gap in between blogs in future. and remember my password.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/887958460695211753-5588113929049358477?l=cheap--frills.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cheap--frills.blogspot.com/feeds/5588113929049358477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cheap--frills.blogspot.com/2009/11/forgot-password-hah.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/887958460695211753/posts/default/5588113929049358477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/887958460695211753/posts/default/5588113929049358477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cheap--frills.blogspot.com/2009/11/forgot-password-hah.html' title='forgot password. hah.'/><author><name>alisonwonderland</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15724960171863312526</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VIeS7wtgJLY/SrvzyhCVy0I/AAAAAAAAAAs/hYrJ0hOwhNs/S220/SDC10370.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887958460695211753.post-5186252378737916383</id><published>2009-09-25T16:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T16:14:22.002-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jewellery jonathan ross jools holland shakira bed tired night IshouldBeAsleep-now.'/><title type='text'>i should be asleep.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;i really &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt;

For my first attempt, (on this one that is) i'm going for short and sweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm alison, (you may know, or have guessed. it doesn't take a genius to work it out) and i'm 16. I've probably only got this far on this blog because twitter keeps crashing. grr. i'm an addict. twitter and tea addict and i am a massive fan of food, i'm surprised i'm not about fifteen stone sometimes hehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i appreciate lots of things, like, erm.. tea! ha. but no, little things like being the right temperature, that's always good, and thoughtful people, and politeness. i do not like rude people. books. i think they're possibly the best entertainment you can come across. well, when you're in the right frame of mind for it anyway. wee trips out with people, going for tea and cake and some shopping (typically of the window variety, due to low funds!) and lazy days (the kind that you don't feel like you've wasted a day) - they are god. music, music is a good one, cause there's always something for everyone, whatever mood you're in. and i really like playing the piano, and i'm sorta proud of the fact i've never had a lesson, ever, yet still manage to work out a few wee tunes on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there are things i really do not like, like rude, brash people, that i just don't have time for, although sometimes find myself having to put up with. they are such happy times! (p.s i'm sarcastic, watch out for it in future, especially if i say something like 'my dad is such a nice man' - i will definitely be lying then. so there's a wee head's up for you.) i don't like higher chemistry. and i don't like how stressful life is at the moment, it's not going that well, but that's just the way it goes i suppose. oh and i sorta don't like the fact that people can read this and i don't know who they are, and it's about me. nice. i don't like how my mum appears to have a hatred for glasow, and i never end up going there, even though i really like it, and it should probably have been mentioned in the paragraph above, along with stephen fry + other's. oh, yes, my forgetfulness sometimes, that really does irritate me quite a bit. as does the fact that i said this blog would be short and sweet for my first offering, and it blatantly is nothing of the sort. ah well, whatchagonnadooo?&lt;br /&gt;righty ho, that's enough i reckon. i'm going to see if twitter has fixed itself yet nanighttt chaps x&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/887958460695211753-9043466654321326243?l=cheap--frills.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cheap--frills.blogspot.com/feeds/9043466654321326243/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cheap--frills.blogspot.com/2009/09/back-to-blogging.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/887958460695211753/posts/default/9043466654321326243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/887958460695211753/posts/default/9043466654321326243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cheap--frills.blogspot.com/2009/09/back-to-blogging.html' title='back to blogging.'/><author><name>alisonwonderland</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15724960171863312526</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VIeS7wtgJLY/SrvzyhCVy0I/AAAAAAAAAAs/hYrJ0hOwhNs/S220/SDC10370.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
