Do You Know The Answer?!

A man goes into a hardware store.
He goes to buy something.
He says to the man at the counter, "How much for 1?"
The man says 20p.
He says "How much for 12 then?"
The man says 40p.
So he says, "How much for 122?"
The man says 60p.

What was he buying?

If you think you have the answer, please let me know in the comments! Good luck! :)

Primary School Friends

Today is one of my primary school friends' 13th birthday party! She said that she has invited a few people from primary school to meet up! I am really excited to be honest!

Since I went to a different school to all my primary friends, I hardly ever see any of them, so tonight will be exciting!

I can't wait! I'll try and upload some photos if I can!

Some More Riddles!

1)Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it. 
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it. 
What is it?


2) What can travel around the world while staying in a corner?


3) Paul's height is six feet, he's an assistant at a butcher's shop, and wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?


4) What kind of tree can you carry in your hand?


5) A man is pushing his car along the road when he comes to a hotel. He shouts, "I'm bankrupt!" Why?



See how many you can answer without using the internet!

Learning Another Language?!

Yes, I am learning another language! It is very exciting and at times difficult.

At school, we have to learn French, but on top of that, I learn Punjabi at home. Every Thursday after school, for an hour, my mom teaches me and my brother different parts of Punjabi and India/ Punjab. We learn about the history of Sikhism, geography to do with India, the language in general etc.

The lesson will start today in a bit, I honestly can't wait!

Finally, Snow!

Last night, we finally got some snow! It hasn't snowed all christmas this year and last year too! ... Well it has snowed a bit but it hasn't set.. until last night! It was only a thin layer, but still!

Major went out in it too, at first he was scared and confused! It was pretty funny watching him run about in it afterwards though!

However, this morning when I woke up, the snow was all ice and slush :( It was disappointing... Walking  around school was hard too, making sure you didn't slip!

Apparently it's meant to snow again tonight! I hope it does! haha

GCSE Options!

I'm now in Year 8 at school, which means that I have to choose my options by the end of this month! :/

Normally, you choose your options when you get to Year 9, but my school does it differently and gets you to choose in year 8 so you have more free time and not always crammed with work!

There are subjects that are compulsory by law, these are as follows:
English Literature
English Language
Maths
Science
ICT
PE
...and if you are in the higher sets...
French...

Because I have to take French as well, I only get to choose three more options. It's quite difficult as the options are all in different columns so PE, Business Studies, Food Tech and fashion could be in Block A for example and I could only choose one of all of them subjects to study. Other subjects are in the other columns and I can only choose one out of each.

I've been thinking about what I want to take and I think I'm gonna go with Business Studies, Sociology and History. However, you don't always get your first option, so I have to choose back up options just in case :(

...


I've just come back from Year 8 Parents Evening and started thinking more about my options. It is quite hard and I'm quite stuck as teachers were saying how different GCSE in that subject would be completely different to how it is now and in Year 7. I'm quite stuck now but I think I'm gonna have to check the school website to see what each option is like and what it can do for you in the future.

Getting a Puppy!

It feels like we had Major yesterday, but it's actually been quite a few months!

We got our dog, Major, on the 11th October 2014. Before we got him, I was absolutely frightened of dogs! I can't even explain my fear! Now, I can't really understand what I was getting so worried about though, there so gentle and cute! Major is a German Shepherd / Alsation and we got him as a guard dog.

He was born on 16th August 2014 and was only 9 weeks we we got him! He was so small compared to now! When we went to pick him up, he was outside with two of his brothers. I was so scared to get close because of my fear then. Him and his brothers were so energetic though! They were running about like mad! We picked one - Major - and basically just took him home! He obviously was very nervous on the journey back, as it was at least 30 minutes! He seemed quite confused as well.

We got home and played with him for a bit, just so he could get used to us, then we put him inside and left him to sleep.
He must have slept for hours! German Shepherd puppies actually need to sleep for around 15-20 hours per day! Which is a lot!

Now, Major is nearly 5months, which is pretty scary! He's a lot bigger now, it's hard to imagine that he was actually so small 3months ago!
When we first got him! <3

About a month staying with us!

When he went for his training last November (Puppy School)

Major also has Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!

Happy Belated New Year!

Happy New Year!

I know it's a bit late but still... :)

I can't believe that it is actually 2015 already! I still remember 2014 New Years so clearly! Last year whizzed past and now we are in 2015!

I guess I don't really have a New Years Resolution this year, I always seem to break them anyway (as do many others!). I could blog more ;).  Comment below your resolutions, if you have any! It would be interesting to see what other people are hoping to achieve this year! :)

I also made a YouTube video on New Years Resolution - Expectations vs. Reality last Thursday! Go check it out if you have a spare minute!

Again, Happy New Year! <3
