Sometimes my family orders fast food on the weekends and that’s what we did Saturday night! We ordered from a local pizza place called “The Pizza Slice” which we’ve ordered from a few times in the past and love their pizza’s and kebabs. I got a 12-inch Pepperoni Pizza, my mum got a 12 inch Mediterranean Chicken Pizza and my brothers got Kebabs. My pizza was delicious but sadly I wasn’t very hungry when the pizza arrived so I only managed to eat 1 slice of garlic bread and 2 slices of my pepperoni pizza but I knew I could eat more the next day as the more that was left the more me and my brother Connor could have for dinner the next day.

We usually always tend to order from The Pizza Slice if it’s open but previously we used to order from “Pizza Time” without ordering for mum but when mum did want something she didn’t like the pizzas from there so decided to try other fast food places and found that The Pizza Slice had much better pizzas and kebabs so we’ve been ordering from there ever since and they’re awesome! However a while ago they did mistakenly send me a Margherita Pizza when I had ordered a Pepperoni Pizza, we even checked the order to be sure! 🙁

A few months ago we ordered some pizzas from The Pizza Slice whilst mum was at work so they would be delivered in time for her finishing work, however we waiting over an hour past the estimated delivery time and they had still not arrived! (we ordered at 7PM and it was 10PM and they still hadn’t arrived!) so when my mum came in from work she decided to phone up to find out why they hadn’t arrived yet.. It turned out that they had completely missed our order and said they would send it out asap which arrived about 30 minutes later and included a free bottle of coca cola which was nice. Despite this though, they’re usually always on time and have really nice food though so for now we stick with ordering from the same place.

Today it was Saturday so as usually I went saturday shopping with my mum and brother Sean. I hate shopping.. especially food shopping but I like going out in Sean’s car with them. We drove to B&M first which is a UK shop selling a tons of random cheap items, it was pretty fun as we found a few toys for our dogs and I got some more fake nails (even though I had only just bought some more a few days ago :p) We found a cheap laser pointer toy for cats and decided to get it for our dogs as we used to have one which Keira would go crazy over and had never seen Molly react to one!

Last Christmas I got my mum some owl garden solar panel lights which she didn’t really like but we always joke about getting more owl related things including today where we found some owl wind chimes and owl tree decorations which we joked about getting her for mothers day. Somehow we spent an hour in this shop and didn’t really buy much.

Next we drove over to Tesco Extra to do some food shopping Extra to do some food shopping (Tesco Extra is a massive version of Tesco with electronics and clothing included) but first we visited the electronics and I got a new ink cartridge for our printer as we had ran out of coloured ink. Afterwards we walked around the shop to buy food but my mum ends up looking at single things for 5 minutes and constantly going back for things we had already looked at or picking up everything she sees but never actually buying them such as a some Polish Cheetos which somehow reminded her of Germany lol. Usually we almost always get fake Magnum ice creams and we complain about them being way different to the originals but today my mum got us the real thing! I can’t wait to eat them! 😰

Back in mid-2015 we got our second dog named Molly; a black Shih Tzu dog originally named Jessie Jet! Her parents were jet black pedigrees named “Minnie The Minx” and “Stargazer Stan” and Molly was born on the April 12th 2015. She was an early birthday present for me… even though she barely wanted anything to do with me! 😞

My mum decided to get her completely out of the blue as nobody expected us to to be getting another pet! It was just an ordinary school day where I wanted to go out with my friends so left a note, we were near our local cricket field when I got a call from my mum saying she had just been to pickup a new dog! At first I was sure she was joking because it was so sudden, but when I got home to my surprise there was an adorable Shih Tzu dog sitting on the living room mat. She was terrified of me at first but over timed seemed to ease up slightly (for some reason she loved my brother Connor though!)

Apparently mum was waiting for me to finish school but because my teacher kept our whole class back longer that day they left without me thinking they had missed me already so sadly I didn’t get to go with them to pick the dog or see Molly’s family. Once I got home on the night we got the dog too after being out with my friends I had to go to brigade club too which I used to go to every Thursday to do a bunch of activities; but I was so excited to go home and play with the new little dog the whole time I was there!

When I got home later in the night, disaster had struck at the worst possible time; an upstairs pipe had been leaking above the kitchen ceiling and a huge buldge had appeared in the roof, my friend who first saw water on the kitchen floor thought that the new dog might have pee’d but water was dripping from the roof! My brother Sean and mum turned off the water and headed out to B&Q to buy something to fix the leaking pipe whilst me and Connor looked after Molly. When they returned they had also bought Molly a basket and fixed the pipe (although the kitchen ceiling still needs re-plastering as I write this!)

I’ve always loved drawing and spend a lot of time doodling in my free time when bored. Sometimes I decide to work on bigger drawings which usually end up taking hours of work to get perfect! I usually like to imitate cartoon drawings or other cute pictures I find online, drawing my own version to compare with the original. Recently I’ve made drawings of The Simpsons family, Mabel and Dipper from Gravity Falls and my favourite drawing of all, Pikachu!

I decided to draw The Simpsons because I thought it would be pretty challenging to do cartoon drawings of but the end result turned out really well and later I coloured them with new pens which I got for christmas with brush tips making it very nice to do strokes with. I drew Mabel and Dipper a very long time ago and at the time I had just finished watching the final episode so decided to draw them as they were on my mind at the time, then recently my mum found the drawing on top of our fridge and loved it so I decided to finish colouring it in.

My Pikachu drawing was probably the longest I’ve ever spent on a single picture as it started as a simple little doodle which I decided to re-draw on a bigger sheet of paper then later decided I wanted to enlarge it and paint it onto a canvas. For enlarging the drawing I used something called “The Grid Method” which is where you take a smaller picture draw a measured grid over it then when re-drawing it you redraw the grid at a bigger scale (e.g 6cm blocks up to 12cm) and draw each grid segment one at a time; in the end I think the canvas painting turned out brilliantly!

I don’t usually like to paint all my drawings because it means I have to get out all the equipment and then spend time cleaning up everything when done.. but with drawing I can just sit with pencils and paper and start drawing!
