Where have I been ?

Once again despite all the best intentions I have managed to neglect my blog...oops!
It has been a grand 4 months since I sat down and wrote a post so I guess I've got some explaining to do.

Anyway the main reason I have been MIA is I'v just been so busy, I  found myself having to balance A2 levels ,  looking after my menagerie of animals who keep deciding to be ill, YouTube, work experience, job hunting and then have time to fit in driving lessons. Yep pretty stressful to say the least. I did however finally passed my driving test 6 weeks ago which is pretty brilliant as I'm much more independent, but more about that later.

So faced with a humongous to do list I'am now finally getting control back of my life. Oh I have also applied for university eek, I'm applying for 3 courses my main one Veterinary Medicine then two different back ups, Bio-veterinary science and animal biology. This has meant I have been trekking around the country each weekend attending university opening days and dragging my more than underwhelmed father around with me :). Luckily I have received 3 offers so far so my parents are pretty happy as this means they are definitely getting rid of me next September!

On the other hand offers means having to get the grades and in order to do this I need to STUDY. Whilst I'm loving my A2 levels (seen as I finally got rid of physics), they are pretty hard and I'm planning on resitting two AS level modules in the hopes of boosting my grades. So well done Georgia for just piling yet more work and pressure on to the already collapsing pile! Oh well, I'm getting there my English coursework is now out of the way and I'm currently revising for my first mock exams at the end of December.

As you can image I am still running round like a headless chicken taking care of all of my pets. James our eldest horse has decided to be ill by chipping a tooth, giving us a cancer scare and having a giant cyst on his side. Luckily we managed it well and he's just as happy as ever again. One of the chickens started limping so off we went to the vets to discover she had bumble foot, which she probably got from jumping off the shelter roof, naughty KFC. Oh and the receptionist got slightly offended by our comical naming of our chickens (KFC, Korma, Ticka and Madras), she's  a lovely lady but slightly sensitive at times we discovered. Finally Milo our dog has got an ear infection which again led us to the vets to face a slightly less disgruntled receptionist!

My YouTube account has also taken a good chunk of my time as I really want to improve my channel now it's growing so much. I've worked really hard to improve my camera quality and now I want to upload as much as possible so I'm working on some really exciting things (but sshhsh its a secret).

I've also been pretty busy popping here, there and everywhere trying to scrape together as much work experience as possible, again the whole wanting to go to university thing. So I'm currently volunteering at the RSPCA which is amazing to get to help such a brilliant charity and cuddle cute animals in the mean time. Well its more cleaning up and walking but that's great fun too.

However volunteer work doesn't pay very well, well not at all at it happens! So this leads to my next point (see the nice transition there). I need a job, mainly because my car is a money eating, bank balance demolishing, constant fuel consuming machine that also likes me to pay ridiculous amounts in insurance! I've got to add here my parents have been brilliant in helping me with this and with out them I would have no car so a massive thanks to them. However as my car enables me to be more independent I want/need a job. So far I have applied for more jobs than I would like to count and have received two interviews. I've got my second interview for a job on Thursday so fingers crossed all goes well!

My final point (you'll be relieved to hear), is that I passed my test which I think it pretty awesome and 6 weeks on I'm still chuffed with myself. I hated driving lessons, they dragged soo much and I didn't really see driving round the town centre for two hours a very productive use of my time. However that is all over, I passed and I'm finally free to go where I want, when I want. This makes life so much easier for me as living in the middle of nowhere being able to drive is pretty essential.

Anyway thats all I've got to say for now, well done if you've managed to make it to this point in my essay of a blog post and hopefully I'll upload a bit sooner next time!

A day in my life

I love watching and reading about people's lives and everyday routines (I'm nosey like that) so I thought I'd share a typical day in my life on days I'm not at school.

The video takes you through my day and as you can imagine revolves mainly around my pets, especially my horses. I hope you like the video and the small insight into my life.

My Passion | My Pets

Here's another insight into the things I'm passionate about, you've met my horses in my previous post so I thought I'd introduce to my others pets if you don't already know them from youtube.

My Dogs

We've had our two rescue dogs for nearly a year now. We got them from a brilliant rescue in Leeds, they were both strays from separate homes and the rescue paired them up. They now spend most of their day running around our 5 acres or sleeping in front of the fire.

 Milo is our 2 year old Great Dane x German shepherd, he's a big boy but is so well behaved and gentle. I'm hoping to do a bit of agility with him in the summer, he's done obedience so I'd like to teach him some more tricks.

Dusty is my little Staffordshire bull terrier cross. She's 18 months old and a naughty little pup! She's a  cheeky dog and is always up to mischief but she's my best bud and loves cuddles. She's not exactly obedient but will do anything for a treat.

My Rabbits 

My rabbits currently live in my 13x12ft shed that me and my grandad built. I have three at the minute , one pair and rain on his own.

Aurora and Ariel are two sister that I adopted from BARC. They are very different girls, Ariel is the smaller, quicker and general bossy bun. She's much more forward and inquisitive than Aurora who is quite quiet but a cuddly bun. They're sensitive girls who prefer to be left alone unless you have food ! 

Rain is my latest addition, I got him off gumtree and he's currently living on his own as he's yet to be neutered but once he's been done I will be adopting a wifey bun to keep him company. Rain is a lovely lad, he's super friendly and hops onto my knee for a cuddle whenever I go to see him. He loves  coming inside for free range time so I'm sure he'd make a brilliant house rabbit.

Guinea pig

Unfortunately I now only have one guinea pig left after Pepsi passed away on Saturday, we believe from old age. I had her since she was a baby so am finding it hard without her. 

Fidget is left and lost without her but he's eating and coming out for cuddles.

He's a lovely boy but unfortunate has a large lump on his rump which has been seen by my vet who has decided to leave it as he's still happy and eating and in no apparent pain.

R.I.P Pepsi

Good night,  God bless x 

My Passion | My Horses

I thought a good start to this blog would be to give you an idea about me and the things I'm passionate about. By far my biggest passion is my horses! I've horse mad and proud! I've had ponies since being little and currently own 3 horses and two ponies.

Danny & Lucy

These two pretty much come as a package. Their complete opposites but love each other to bits. Danny is technically my mums horse but as he's a show jumper and as my mum hates jumping, I jump him. He's a dutch KWPN and stands at 16.3hh so he's a pretty big boy. He's 12 years old and a gentlemen in the arena but pretty spooky out hacking. He's a school master when it comes to jumping and will jump anything you put in front of him with out even changing pace.

Lucy is the only girl and baby of the group. She's a 4 year old Irish sports horse and currently stands at 16.2hh. She's a really sweety, if a bit dozy and clumsy! She's behind in her riding due to a knee defect meaning she couldn't be worked for a year but she's getting there.

Taffy

He is my absolute baby! Taffy is nearly 20! and only dinky at 14hh. He's a welsh section C cob, liver chestnut. He's a cheeky boy with a giant attitude but is so good to handle and ride. He's an absolute dream, he hacks, jumps, does dressage and will do a bit of cross country. I love him to bits, he's such a special lad and I have so many great memories with this pony.

James 

This cheeky boy is 21 years young, my mums had him since he was 6 months old (so before me ) and she rescued him from going to France for meat. He's a bugger but I cherish him. James is a dartmoor pony and super dinky as he's only 11.2hh. He was my first pony and the one who made me fall in love with riding (and taught me to hang on) ! He's a super lad and is retired due to his age and chronic laminitis.

 Archie

What can I say? Archie is basically the odd ball, well non of them are exactly normal but this ones something else. He's a great horse with a crazy attitude. He's 15 hh and a welch x thoroughbred, aged 15. Archie thinks he's human, he hates all other horses (especially his arch rival James) and I'm pretty sure would live in our house if he could. He can be fantastic to ride or he can be an absolute arse ( basically will bronk until your off his back) depending on how the mood takes him! He's a quirky lad but we still love loads.

I hope this wasn't too long and now you have an insight into my neddys and their personality.

Finally starting my blog !

To be honest I'm pretty nervous, 2014 is the year I've finally plucked up the courage to put a face to my name on youtube and I'm loving it. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing but I love the journey of learning. Like right now I'm sat writing this blog and have no idea how to edit and make it look half decent but I'm sure I'll crack it at some point.

So enough rambling, why am I doing this ? Why all of a sudden have I decided to start blogging and vlogging? Well I love it, I'm forever watching vlogs on youtube and reading peoples corresponding blogs. I'm into makeup and fashion as well as general life and animals. I'm also looking for a release from school work and constant A level essays !

So Im Georgia, I do pet videos and now vlogs on youtube as lilpetchannel. I'm 16, 17 in May and have a pretty normal life getting on with my AS levels at sixth form and riding my horses.

I hope this makes some sort of sense.
