Egypt


Not long now until I will be flying off to the land of the Pharaohs. Yes my friends that's right i am jetting off to Egypt for two weeks of sun, sea and ... mummies.

I will be staying in Sharm el Sheik at the three Georges hotel. I am really excited I have always wanted to visit the pyramids since I was about 7 yrs old.

I have my T G Huges suitcase, filled to the brim with my primarni collection and £1 flip flops, which are bound to snap after the first hour.

I find it so funny when your walking around on holiday, and you can spot from a mile away who the English are. There they are flaunting their Matalan beach towels, primarni sunglasses and ASDA George beach bags.

Nine times out of ten you will be relaxing on the beach, the cool breeze sifting through your hair then "Oi divint gan in the watar withoot ya armbands on man!" and there it is the good old geordie accent, you can just never get away from it.

Anyways please update me on where abouts you are going off on holiday.

Happy birthday to me.


I have now reached another decade in my life, I am now 20yrs old :(. I don't want to grow up. Why can i not stay a little girl for the rest of my life. Not have to worry about bills, running a car, working, studying, just have mammy run around after me and solving all my problems.

People say it all goes down hill from 21. Well at least Ihave another year until that happens.

I did however have a really nice birthday, apart from getting absolutely mortal and running around the streets of Newcastle like a complete mad woman, falling over and throwing up. But hey they say the best nights are those you cant remember lol.

Let me know of some of your crazy nights out.

Can we fix it.... Yes we can!


Am sure my mam thinks I am actually the Wendy from Bob the Builder, and not the Wendy that she gave birth to.

"Wendy will you be in all day?"
"Why?"
"Because I have ordered a few bits of new furniture for my room, and there getting delivered today"
"OK no problem mam"

(KNOCK KNOCK)

And there it was not the few bits of furniture my mam said she had ordered, but 16 large flat packs from Tescos.

It took three men to load all the boxes into the kitchen.

"Just sign on the line love"

And there it was my mams furniture, neatly boxed up. The shiny duck tape, the cardboard colouring, just lovely.

Two bruises, one spelk and two blisters later.....there was her furniture assembled . It took me three whole days to put together two wardrobes, a corner unit, two sets of six drawers and two bedside cabinets.

I like being set a challenge but this was a rather large one. But the smile on her face when she seen it was more than satisfying.

So if you need any D.I.Y jobs doing, please don't ask me hahaha.

First,second and third chances!


Why is it that when we know we have a second chance at something we don't do our best the first time round. Then why is it when we know we have a third chance we still don't do our best?. I am writing this blog as this is the situation I am in at the minute.

I promised myself that last year I would do so much better in my second year at uni, where as a matter of fact I have done a thousand times worse.

At first i thought yes Wendy you are doing well, and then it all went down hill from there. Is it true that some people have natural talent to these things, and without working hard, excel in everything, or do they all really study through the reading list, make notes every lesson and do the extra 100 hours of personal study?.

I think I have messed up big style. In fact I know I have.

My fellow peers I don't think I will be joining you on your road to success, and seeing you all graduate, as I have took the dead end road and will need to start my mission all over again.

I want everyone who reads this to know how important it is to study hard, not leave essays till the last minute and to attend all lectures. Otherwise you will end up like me! A girl who has know idea what the future holds, and a BIG FAT LOSER!

Making money from......Blogging


Well today in my lecture at University we have been discussing how people get paid to blog. I mean not just a general...(run of the tounge) blog, but blogging for an agency (blogger advocacy).


With so many people now dipping their fingers into various social media outlets, there is so much writing going on online but do you feel that you would make a good job of blogging for an agency?


Do you not think that getting paid for writing a blog will kill your creativity. Having to write to a deadline, and not at your own leisure.

I will look at some of the pro's and con's of blogger advocacy.


the pro's





  • Well first and foremost, getting paid ...yeh ££££££

  • Doing a job that you enjoy

  • Gets to know potential customers/clients





The con's





  • Restrictions as to what the blogger can say


  • Curb their own thougtys and opinions


  • False represention of the blogger


I think it is an exciting move foward, using social media in business.



What do you think?

Dreamzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Have you ever wondered why we evolved to dream? Or why dreams can seem so real and meaningful when we are experiencing them but are mostly forgotten? Or why, when we do manage to remember a dream, it often seems so weird?

Dreams are sequence images, sounds and feelings experienced while sleeping, strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and biological purposesof dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as onerirolgy.

I have been dreaming so much lately, sometimes three or four different dreams a night. So I decided to look into the meaning of dreams.

I have dreamt the common dreams like, falling off a cliff (not hitting the bottom , THANK GOD!), losing my teeth, my hair falling out e.t.c. But i have had the most perculiar dreams which have had me waking up in a cold sweat. The other night I dreamt I was in a market place and it was a lush day, then all of a sudden I was in a big hanger inside an aeroplane, then a massive storm came and I was flying around in a aircraft with no engines and i was so scared. And a one where my ex's mam started attacking me along with the rest of his family.

So I would be interested to know of any weird dreams which you have. Let me know.

Get that room tidied now!!!!!!!!


Ahhh mother please, this is my space, my bedroom where I sleep not where you sleep where I sleep. Gosh why is it mothers get so annoyed when your bedroom is a mess. I mean it's not like they have to live under the mountains of clothes and shoes that clutter your room, and its not them who has to untangle all the beads and necklaces that are knotted all over your dressing table, its our bedroom, and we will tidy it when we have time to.

Sometimes I admit my room does get really messy and you cant find anything, and there has been times that it has been so cluttered that i could not sleep and had to get up at 3am to tidy around a bit, but that's my problem not my mams.

All I hear every time shes upstairs is "Wendy Louise Fowler, you better get that pig sty cleaned up now" or "I didn't spend all that money on decorating your room for you to mess it up, get it cleaned no!"
"Yes Mam, I'll do it in a bit" (but I never do hehe)

But tomorrow I will have a little tidy around, so I can see a bit of the floor.

Let me know about the current state of your bedroom.

Me To You Bears


Oh no. My room is being took over by the grey fluffy blue nosed me to you bears. I have so many of them, but i just cant get enough of them, the me to you bear, I love them.


The little bears just sit in the window of Clinton cards with their little beady eyes looking at me saying; "Please Wendy, take me home". I just cant resist them.


My car is even being invaded by them, the car mats, the tax disk holder, the noddy head one, the one that sticks to the window and the mirror surround. And the worst thing is there are so many to collect, valentines day ones, birthday ones, congratulations ones, good luck ones, and at £8.99 a pop it all mounts up.


My boyfriend then got me the massive one for valentines day about 2ft tall holding it's furry arms out saying "Love you this much". It is obviously my favourite one.
They even come with a little heart warming story, which makes you want to have even more.
"The oldest smallest house you can imagine was about to be knocked down. All the things that once made the house nice and cosy had been thrown outside and piled up in the front garden , from the soft springy bed the owners slept in, to the old wooden floorboards they used to walk on.... and even, surely by some mistake, a little brown teddy bear. H e was trapped amongst all the other unwanted things, and couldn't move.
Then one day a very , very cold day , something fell from the sky.. a little snowflake. It landed on the teddy bears nose and was then followed by many more. He began to get very cold , very cold indeed. More and more snow fell. heavier and heavier. The little bear was now so cold that his nose started turning blue.... so cold that his brown fur started turning grey. He was cold, unloved and all alone in the world and felt very, very sad.
Winter finally passed and the weather got warmer. One beautiful spring day, a little girl was playing near the old house, when she spotted the grey bear in the pile of unwanted things. He was like no other bear she had ever seen, and she pulled him out from where he was trapped. She dusted him down and lifted him high in the sky to look at him.
"A grey teddy bear.. with a blue nose, how strange" she thought. The teddy bear wanted to cry. He though she didn't like him and would throw him away. But she fell in love with him straight way. She ran home as fast as her little legs would carry her, to see if her grandma could patch him up. She looked as her grandmother replaced his stuffing and patched up his holes. His stitches had started showing where the fur had worn away, but the little girl thought he was perfect.
It was all cosey and warm in the little girls house and the bear felt cosy and warm in his heart. However his nose was still blue and his fur grey. He was unique amongst teddy bears. The little girl gave him a great big hug. She loved him more than anything in the world... her little,grey, blue nosed... tatty teddy."


Well people my birthday is coming up very soon so if your struggling for ideas as to what to get me... well you now know haha.

Goodbye Burger world hello PRIMARK!!!!!!


Well after my first fortnight working in the wonderful world of Primark it has actually been OK. I moaned and groaned about it at first saying i hated it it but in the end i decided to give it a chance. It is ALOT different to flipping burgers and coming home stinking of grease (although now i come home covered in glitter and thread).

I am working on lingerie, PJ's and beach wear. Many customers have said to me "Eeee pet you must be sick of folding all the clothes then people coming over and messing it up". Hahaha yes it is annoying, but hey i did it myself when i was just one of those thoughtless primani customers.

My favourite section to work on is the knicker tables which all the other staff hate, but there is something about it which relaxes me and passes the time quicker.

The only thing about the job that really gets me down is the fact that i work Monday to Friday 5pm till 9pm at the Metrocentre, and it gets tiring, however i do get every weekend off. Hmmm what do you think do you think it is worth me working ever weekday and getting the weekend off?. Let me no your opinions.

Anyway if you happen to be in the Metrocentre, please do pop into see me playing in the hundreds of knickers.

P.S. To all Primani shoppers please do give a little thought to the staff when you can see that they have just folded a whole table of jarmie bottoms, please do try to put them back as neatly as you can thank you :).

Road Works!!!!!!!


(Grr) Why is it that the council aren't happy unless their digging up some roads which they just did about 3months ago, littering it with bright orange cones, and big flashing signs. The thing is they do all this, close roads off and when you finally manage to dodge the bloody things you see that there's nobody working on it.


A mean fair enough yes they need to place cones out to let drivers no not to drive on that part of the road, but 1 cone for every 20cm or so... its a complete joke. Then you get some plank who is driving 80mph on a single carriage way, (even though the huge FLASHING ROAD SIGN'S state its only 30mph) and they clip a cone which that then clips another and another and another..... and then everyone is trying to dodge flying traffic cones, and then you have to stop, get out the car and shift about 5 cones out of the way in order for you to get passed.


A don't no about you, but I'm so tempted sometimes just to get out of me car, grab the nearest fluorescent cornette and go and hit one of the workman (if you can actually find one) on the noggin and tell them to get their backsides to some where that actually needs resurfacing.


There are plenty places a could tell them to go. For instance round my neck of the woods. Most of the roads round Jarrow are like driving on a dirt track. Every pot hole you hit is guaranteed to make those less desirable parts wobble, well especially in my case.


Anyway that's enough about that. Please leave me some comments.
