LUINGIFIED!!!

Hiya everyone!
Well this weekend was an eventful one!
My friend mandy came down for the luing experience. On Friday night when we got onto luing colin the bus driver thought there was something wrong with the bus so a few people went in the car with Johnny b and the rest of us stayed on the bus! Mandy found it quite amusing that at any point the brakes could fail and we would speed down the pier and end up in the sea! Lol
But when we got home I showed her the wonders of cullipool, we went down the beach taking lots of cool photos (I will tru to get them on here soon) and then I showed her “the dump” well what used to be the dump anyway, it was not long ago filled up and covered over and is no longer used. We saw a sheep that appeared to be suicidal at the top of the cliff! Then for the best part of Friday night we got out the maclachlan family quad and spent the night driving about, we went over park and were up to the quads foot plate things in cow dung!! Eeew but anyway it was really good fun and mandy really enjoyed it!
When we got back Laura and Kristina came down and we had a “Patio Party” in febuary I know it was a little crazy but we had candles haribo and “The Vatersay Boys” so it was altogether fabulous!! Our own we ceilidh, great.
Mandy was saying in school today that her trainers were still manky from luing and I told her that her trainers had been “Luingified!” it was class and she told me how much she loved Luing!!
I love having my friends down on luing and they always love coming down, to them and me there is soooo much more to do on luing than in oban, some might disagree but I think waling up and down george street for 12 hours is simply a waste of time and its soooo boring when you could be playing footie, goin down the beach, goin on the quad and basically having great craic on luing or any other island really!
Wow long blog eh!?

quick one

hey everyone this is a quick blog because the bell is about to go and im in school, just to say the christmas and new year on luing was as good as ever and my fund raising ceilidh on the 28th of dec was a cracker, nearly everyone on the island was there and holiday makers and all we showed them how to party luing style. On new years night me and the girls went out first footing, truely grand and i think everyone at some point in their lives should come to luing for new year!! Its been really wild since new year as "glasford gal" already sed and we hav had a couple o half days off!!! all is good on luing! c ya later everyone, plz leave me a comment if u want to know anything about the island because im running out of things to say!! bye guys x

Luing School Is At It Again!!!

Luing Primary is Fundraising again with its annual Holly Tea, This is when all the primary kids make things to sell. The school board make cakes and hot mince pies for sale. Its on Tommorow night (thurs) at the school, and all the kids will be there helping behind the stales. There is always an amazing raffle and the school is always full to the gunnels with people!!
Im sitting my driving theory on thursday night aswell but believe me as soon as i ahve finnished i will be down to luing school to catch a glimpse of the top class merchindise that the guys have made!!! (I am terribly sorry for my spelling)
It has been rather wild the past few days and on monday morning on my way to school it was a bit rolly on the ferry, you got to give it to the luing ferrymen they are determined to keep the ferry on! As Glasfordgal said, we had a magic weekend in Invergary, and it was so annoying when we had to come back across the ferry in the small passenger ferry, it was blowing a gale and tipping it down, those are the times you really wish you had a bridge!!! lol
but anyway, i will keep you posted on the holly tea and hope to see all luing residents in attendance!!!
BYEEEEEEEEEE

Forgot my Password!

hiya everyone, well i know it has been ages since my last blog but i lost my password. i have now made a new one so should be on more now. Alot has happend since my last blog...infact i dont even know if i can remember when that was!! im going on a gap year with project trust next august and have to raise £4190 so i have been busy fundraising with the help of my family and brill friends! I have now raised £2200!!! im totally extatic with the amount we have raised and thanks to all the very generous people of luing who have been comming to all of my events and dontating money! im sooooo gratefull guys!!! Also i cant believe its winter and the clocks have gone back already, its getting dark when we are on our way home from school now, so no more football! but we still play every sunday at the pitch. Its kinda annoying becuase the drainage at the feild is poo and its like playing in a puddle, nevertheless we play every sunday and even saturdays if we can, and in the winder flood lights at the side of the pitch would be a dream, right now we play until we cant see the ball anymore! hahaha, Im also totally excited about next weekend becuase JAM are going away on our great jam getaway 2006!! wooo lol invergary here we come. anyway will be blogging again soon..... byeeeeeeeee xxx
