Not long now, last injection on Monday - then that will have been 10 injections all together!!!
I dont mean to go on about this but another big massive thank you to everyone who has contributed towards Brazil. For Steven at the shops benefit you are not all paying for me to go on Holiday!!! I really want to help the people on my placement and I will be working - only 4-6 hours a day - but it will be hard and quite emotionally draining work. But again and again and again thank you everyone!

less than a month to Brazil!
Well... Had my second rabies jab and my yellow fever yesterday and Renne rang me. She's going to be emailing me a list of everyone else who going to be at the hostel with me - oh my goodness its all starting to feel a bit real now! I'm also going to find out what my placement is going to definitely be. It doesn't feel like I'm actually going to go yet - but seeing as I'm all paid up be a bit silly not to! It's going to be a fantastic experience and I really want to be able to make a difference.
Also went in to my old High School today! It was so bizarre showing my old art teachers my uni work! Also they have given me £250 towards Brazil! I couldn't believe it I've just been working everything out and I've managed together about £2,000 which is fantastic - so huge, massive, whopping, great big thank you to everyone that's helped me and contributed.
I didn't realise I had that many friends!!!!
Also I feel the need to tell everyone that it is Daisy - my great Grandma's 100th Birthday party on Saturday! -100th!!!!!

Next big venture is project managing a new build for a farm shop I work at when I'm in Helsby - all very exciting!
Then its off to Brazil on the 14th May! feel slightly like a pin cusion at the moment with all the injections!

See you later Hollyoaks!
well.... was my last day at Hollyoaks today - as a work experience girl hopefully!
I've had a fantastic time and really learnt lots - even if its only things like if a freezer had been turned off for 3 months and has cream trifles in then not to empty it as it will stink the whole building out!
I really enjoyed all the opportunites and enjoyed being on shoot but loved being on the dressing team.
I want to say thanks to everyone there especially those in the dressing department who made it fun so I didnt mind as much that I wasn't getting paid!
I will be back soon though hopefully!!
take care guys and thanks!!!

Being an Extra!!
I've been on shoot for the past week which is definately a contrast from being on the dressing team. It seemed like you have less to do andthere is quite a bit ofsittingaround while they take etc. If there are 6 characters 1 on one side ofthe room and the others on the otherside of the room,they will shoot the whole scene facing one way and then the whole scene facingthe other way and then the whole scene again on each character. Its supposed to make it a lot easier when they are editing it, but you have to really watch the continuity side of it.
I've enjoyed being on shoot and it was interesting to watch but it's less hands on than the dressing team which I prefer.
However today I did get to be an extra - other you probably won't be able to see me at all! but hey its my claim to fame!

Going on shoot
I went on shoot on Thursday which was really interesting. I didn't really do much as it was outside the SU Bar so no props etc were used. It was interesting to see the different camera angles and when I watched it that night it all made sense. The Director was a nutter though!
The total so far for the sky dive has gone up to about £900 now! so all that side is going really well.
Also a big thank you to Roberts Bakery who have donated £50.

Hollyoaks!
Well, what a hectic week!!
Mopved into the halls in Liverpool on Sunday night and started Hollyoaks on the monday.
Ihad so many names to learn and all the the sets are linked and its like ahuge maze.
Saw the majority of the cast during the week which was rather bizzare having lunch in the same canteen as them.
Also you much all watch out for the SU Bar on st. Patricks day, I helped dress that and did the stage that the the Kylie look-a-like comes through.
As yet I've not wlked in the back of any scences as I tend to avoid any wires that may lead to the crew and if its quiet then I appraoch very carefully untill they start making frantic hand singnils at me to say they are rolling.
I'm really enjoying it but its long hours considering I'm not getting paid. I did an 11 hour day on my second day.
Its really strange going on all the sets they are so much smaller. Also the Taylor-Burtons house, the Deans and the Cunnighams are all on Brookside close, so been there a couple of times.
The girls on my floor are really nice as well wich all helps not that I'm really there and when I am I just want to sleep.
Also was in the Chronicle today with my skydive - nearly 2 weeks!
Cheesy photo as usual and got he Northwich Gardian coming tomorrow - oo I'm such a celebrity!!
Well neary the end of an extremly manic week!

Hi everyone!
Well this is the first entry whoohoo - big thanks to Karen Belton for doing my website and setting everything up as I didn't have a clue.
Not really much to report at the momentt, just sittingin waiting for the Chester Chronicle to come and take my photo.
Start at Hollyoaks tomorrow. I'm stayingin Hope Park Halls of residence. It seems ok, shared bathrooms and I'm on a room only basis, whereas the halls are catered for so the kitchen is miniscule.
I'm not too nervous at the moment but am a bit worried that I'm going to randomly walk on set in the background as the rooms are all interlinked and I'll probably get lost!
well I'll keep you updated - if I can actually work this!!
