We cleared out the cupboard under the stairs, found some elderly tins and chocolates, loads of pics of the boyf off of the early 90s haha (a personal fave is him looking bronzed next to the pool with long hair and an amezzin' 6 pack!), masses of wrapping paper and cards, brand new glasses and a coupla dead spiders.

The bin is full and I now have a larder! Yay!

Chinese food tonight. We're sort of celebrating Valentine's Day a bit early.

PS. I'm also currently wearing some Shrek ears which I encountered. So all is good.:)

Just had the most amazing and random evening with a bunch of friends. Involved a lot of forfeits/dares, nakedness, kissing, party food and alcohol. Then 3 of us went to a club and had a really good time. I managed to drink some alcohol without overdoing it really. I have yet to find out if it will make me feel ill but hopefully it won't because I paced myself and am drinking the water.

The best bit is, February 14th is over for another year!!!! We decided to rename it Christmas to make ourselves feel better.

Well, I've now had it confirmed for me at least 3 times, I really do only have to do half the number of credits we were originally told to take in Spain (15 instead of 30, that is) because I've had to do an essay for the French department as well. Which is good as hopefully this means I'll get Tuesdays off and I can take some more time to actually enjoy being in Seville. The frustrating thing is that I seem to be the only one who's actually been told about this, everyone else I know who's in Spain for this semester is convinced we're supposed to be doing 30. But whatever, if they can't be bothered to find out for themselves then it's their own fault. I still think this should have been made clear to us before we got here (the Birmingham Spanish department really is horribly disorganised), but at any rate it's better to know now than at the end of the semester.

So save the last dance

Helen I totally understand your frustration with University disorganisation. I'm glad you've sorted out your problems for now.

I was up till 4am trying to write an essay that was set last Thursday afternoon that we were told was due in at 9am tomorrow. Got a text from the department at around 3:30pm, when I was just about to give up and hand in the jumbled rubbish I'd produced, saying "oh there was a mix up and the deadline's actually 9am Wednesday." I happened to be in a meeting of the committee where we complain about things like this at the time so took the issue up straight away.

So I suppose it rocks that I've been able to get some sleep finally and that I have tomorrow free to write something better but it also sucks how stressed I ended up getting about it. Oh and Strongbow Boy is coming round in a bit and he's gonna get me some food because he always eats mine when he's round here and we're gonna watch a film or something (sounds like a date I know but it's not supposed to be).

I went out walking up a mountain today, verrry dangerous as it was still snowy/icy and very misty, but I feel like I've got some exercise in - we were out for about five hours! I do think I've twisted my ankle a bit though, I felt on it so many times :(

Edit: 2,635 ft, it was!

Nice one Sam and Ema. Lucky you Kirsty.

What rocks? I got a lovely bunch of flowers this evening and am still on the hunt for kittens to adopt. Think we might have to wait a little bit longer as it's not really the right time of year, but it's certainly something to look forward to.

    • Someone in fact posted about it on digital spy and its still on his instagram. James put up a story his dad was in hospital this weekend but it sounds like it's gone ok. That explains that
    • Nikita Kanda is covering the weekend mid afternoon slot a few times over the next few weeks, as is Ore.
    • No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it. 
    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
