Christmas Fun

My first proper post :) Woo it's Christmas Eve and I'm so excited! I went Christmas shopping with my dad and brother, David, yesterday which was quite fun but it was very busy in Liverpool. Luckily, we got there early and had a go on the Liverpool Wheel in Liverpool One.


And then, at about 9:30pm it started to snow..lots! Me, David and my best friend Jenny played out in the snow for about 2 hours, it was so much fun. We had a sledge ride down the hill near my house and a snowball fight. Snow is such a luxury here. I haven't uploaded the photos yet but here's one of us last year doing pretty much the same thing! (Sorry, not very good quality)


Finally, we found an abandoned rabbit/guinea pig hutch near my house yesterday and decided to not let it go to waste and brought it home. Therefore, I'm allowed two new guinea pigs! I already have two called Teddy (the brown one) and Mika (the grey one) and I absolutely love them. Here's a photo of them:

My goals for 2010

As the year is coming to a close, I have brain-stormed some goals for 2010 (and beyond, perhaps!).

1. Do a fun run - possibly the Big Fun Run in Liverpool.
2. Do a car boot sale in aid of Dog's Trust - have collected together lot's of old junk and, instead of selling it for my own benefit, I'd like to raise some money for a good cause.
3. Start aerobics classes
4. Start dog walking
5. Finish my first book list - haven't had much time for reading lately and I'd really like to finish this book list, will update as I go along.
6. Grow a frog-friendly plant! - had a kit for ages but haven't used it, ideal because I have a pond full of frogs!
7. Cook everything in 'How to Cook' by Mary Berrys! - OK so this might take a little longer!
8. Pass Grade 5 piano
9. Pass all my GCSE's - already passed German and my first science GCSE, only 9 more to go!
10. Learn how to crochet
11. Do the Bikeathon for the 12th year - have been doing the Wirral Bikeathon for 11 years now and can't wait for this year!
12. See a show - last year I saw Billy Elliot and Blood Brothers in the West End, this year I really want to see Cesar Milan on tour.
13. Find some voluntary work - hoping for a place with the Cinnamon Trust if possible.
14. Pass Grade 5 tap dancing - also do other types of dancing and I'll create a new goal once I've passed this.
15. Complete my 'Clay-Mate' house - hehe
16. Do the silver Duke of Edinburgh - did bronze last year and really enjoyed it, even though it was very hard at times!
DONE!17. Start a blog
18. Buy a yoga book

A little about me

Right, so this is my first post- after a few different blog attempts! So I thought I'd scribble a little about myself :)

Well, my name's Jess (obviously) and I'm a 16 year old animal-fanatic from the UK. My birthday's on 1st September which makes me the oldest in my year at school :D. I go to a grammar school and have lots of great friends. I live in a fairly small town, which is nice, but when I'm older I hope to move somewhere with more open space. I have long, wavy hair and grey/blue eyes and I am quite skinny. I love love love animals and have had many pets, at the moment I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Poppy, two guinea pigs called Teddy and Mika and lots of fish and frogs. Here's some of my favourite things:
Colour: pink!
Food: mangos
Film: Slumdog Millionaire
Tv show: ooh lots- The Dog Whisperer, Meerkat Manor, It's Me or the Dog, Animal Cops, Rescue Ink and some soaps/reality shows
Band/singer: Enrique Iglesias! I also love Alesha Dixon and have seen her in concert
Song: too many! I like sad songs
Month: December
Sport: swimming/dancing
Animal: dogs
And some of my dislikes: animal abuse, drinking, smoking, drugs, singing!, anybody who purposely tries to hurt someone else.

So there you go! I could go on forever but I don't have the time..
