A Curious Girl: Follow bridleway past Go and collect Ł200 (I wish)

Hey, I'm getting popular! I have 18 people who've listed me as a favourite!!! :-) You're all mad. Actually, two of them are Christina (don't ask me why, but they are!) and one is Angelique and being fictional she doesn't actually count. Don't tell her I said that. Speaking of which, I really need to do something with the poor girl, she's trapped on a humid desert island with permanent internet access and people who don't really understand her. Sounds like my summer holiday. :-) I just went and checked out Beth's diary, which is funky and up for God. (Hey, I don't say funky anymore... I blame Stephen. Although Steve got saying funky off me, I'm pretty sure of it!! That should get him back for making me say 'stunning' all the time.) Anyway, I haven't written poetry in ages - last poem I wrote was a couple of months ago. Must get on with my story, too. I'm being typical me - soon as I find something new I can release creative energy too, my last project's abandoned.

Spent most of my afternoon route-planning for the second day of our expedition. Chris, Charlie, Claire, Abigail (not Abi - a completely different Abigail) and I are doing our Duke of Ed Silver Expedition at last (We're all in the Girls' Brigade). We were meant to meet yesterday to do the planning, but only Charlie and I made it (Claire works and the others are on holiday), and it was so hot that in the end we decided that I'd take it home and complete Day 2, and then maybe she or Claire could do Day 3. Abigail was the only one who turned up last week - I feel really guilty as the only reason I didn't turn up was because I didn't want to remember it was on. Sort of accidentally on purpose. I feel rather proud of the route now, I'd put it online to show it off except that five seventeen year old girls aren't fond of being stalked.

In a way, although it's hard and very very boring work, it's satisfying, and I'm pleased that I got to do it. I've been banging on to God for months that I sometimes feel a little left out, living further away from the others and often not having much of a say in the route, and as a consquence, feeling a bit useless and not confident that I can do it. However, now I've done it, I feel much better. Thank you God :-) I really like it that he's given me a part of it, properly. And now I have the slightly more tricky problem of what I'm going to do about the Physical section when I'm nearly in debt - if I get a job I'll be OK - must complete Tesco's forms but I really don't want to work there. Hours are far too long. The job I got the interview for is OK - only 9 - 5. But I can't start until September 8th!! Argh! But on the other hand, God has eased my mind about it - given me reassurance that he won't leave me out on a limb if I'm doing what he wants me to do.
