In aid of Ben...Good neighbors

Should point out that whilst I am currently hogging this blog, I am in school 10-5 for the next 3 days, so shall not be. look out for a Jewish post avec rachel soooon.

ALSO: this blog is being mentioned in the student newspaper. Yessss. Global coverage here we come....
Ok so on request of my wonderful friend, brother, life counsellor: Ben, I must formally introduce everyone with pictures. Easiest thing to say is in the banner above, there is (Left to right) Rachel, Ellie, Charlotte, Louise, Hannah, Micheala. But ben also pointed out there are no actualy pictures of me avec my flatmates on here, one of the reasons for this is that Micheala is our cheif photographer, and takes the most photos at 3am when she is trollied. However I usually can't last later than 1am. Anyway, here goes:

Charlotte, Rachel, Ellie and I. Looking vaguely abnormal, in aid of a roller disco. Charlotte is the QUEEN of roller skating. Like, so effortless. Which made me stupidly think I could do it too. WRONG. I broke my wrist. In the words of Mic and Dennis: BAD TIMES.













Ellie and I, advertising the important things in life, in our beautiful kitchen. I love Ellie. I think she loves me too, but less so when i am wide awake at 7am.











Micheala giveing me the heimlich manover. Micheala is great, we have some kind of grandmother-mother relationship. Whereas, she ventures wisdom, I validate it, or I venture wisdom and she corrects me, because I don't know how to be 'down with the kids'. Also Micheala is the proprietor of hangover club, which we are somehow going to have to maintain when we live in different houses next year. Hyde park in PJ's?







Steph, Me, Hannah and James Hollands. 2 important things of note here. 1. Steph is Ellies friend from Londinium. Before she came to stay with us in the ghetto of 'St Marks' she spent the night in 'Devonshire' (super posh halls, generally reserved for the overpriviledged that pronounce 'Yeah'' as"Yahhhhh'. Seriously people, you are not south african. Anyway, she liked it in St. Marks more! So take the £30 some of you spend extra a week to us and.....well give it to the accomodation office. because you have to. ha.
2. James Hollands is michealas boyfriend. we all like him very much. Not as much as micheala. He is uber helpful, which is why him and Mic are very well suited.


Ok so that covers the flat, and one of our spouses. I should point out that technically I am the only single one in the flat, as Hannah lives across the yard (for like 2% of her life) and charlotte had to go hooooome. :( Spinster life is sweet, think i'll get some cats.

SO: now we come on to the first in my self titles series: Good Neighbors. What larks. This series will cover our lovely co-flat 2.1, and also the special people I will be abiding with after June.

First Good Neighbor: Well, inevitably it is Caffs. This is the kind of thing Caffs does for entertainment. Yesterday he posted a snow boulder through our letter box. He,er, likes his drink, and when intoxicated is akin to your drunken uncle dancing at weddings. However, all of us actually love him. Like in the way you would love your cheeky little brother. except he is 4 months older than me!!

Typical life in day of caffs: (example, monday 2nd feb, could be ANY day if it wasnt for the snow)

• Wake up with hangover
• consider going to school. reject this idea.
• Play Louises guitar, or pokemon.
• consider having hair of the dog to relieve his hangover. decides on a fish pie instead.
• Recieves phonecall from Ces, his gorgeous girlfriend.
• Goes out in the snow with partner in crime (but not quite as endearing) Alex. Throw snowballs at Lou and ellies window. Throw Snowballs THROUGH Michealas window (it was open, but still)
• Gets bribed in by a cup of tea by Louise.
• comes to collect tea. With massive snow boulder. Posts snow boulder through letterbox.
• Thanks Louise for the tea and cake, because he is quite sweet really.
• goes and declares undying love for harry deacon.
• Shouts through our letter box, 'I'm bored and Hungry'. After toying with the Idea of ignoring him, Louise lets him in and makes him a cheese and beans toastie.
• comes and sits in michealas room and despairs a little inside and our over excitabilty.
• Asks for some gossip (the only boy that does, and we LOVE him for it!)
• Sleep.

Next in series: Helen Wood (possibly my distant relative, who knows)
