Finishing the Leaflets and how I found the experience...

Hey there guys, so today I finally finished delivering the leaflets, and honestly it's been tiring, draining and a lot of walking has been done. But there aren't all negatives I learnt that the local people are so nice and were willing to help me when I got lost. I didn't realize this before I started as in my town if you don't know the people you pass you don't really talk to them, but it was a different story in the village where I delivered them. I could go up to people and ask which street I was on if I wasn't sure and they were so friendly and happy to help, I guess all you have to do is ask. A slight negative is all the dogs that barked at me, oh and the two peacocks I encountered!! Here's a little story for you, when I was little I was with my dad and grandparents at the local theme park and there was an area where parrots and other types of birds where and I went to have a look. I remember looking up and seeing a peacock standing on the fence that was supposed to be holding the birds, and when I looked back down I saw another peacock right in front of me. As in out of the cage and in the same area I was!! I started to panic and as a little kid I didn't know what to do, my family were round the corner and on there way to get me. I noticed the peacock getting closer to me and I ran! I freaked out and ran, as I was running the peacock was stilling chasing after me and I just ran for my dad. I was so scared it still haunts me today I guess.
Which is why when I went to this house with two peacocks sitting on the drive I really didn't want to go to the door, like I considered leaving it on the floor. Bu the owner saw me creeping round them and came to rescue me from the peacocks she owned.
I haven't decided whether I'd want to do it again as me and my mum had trouble getting there and it used up a lot of fuel, and not to mention the hours its taken, but as they say money isn't handed to you on a plate...... sadly.
Thanks for reading guys, I enjoyed telling you the little story from my childhood so if you liked it I may do it again :) byyyeee x

Why can't I get on a Bus like a normal person?

Since I started using the public transport that is buses I seem to always embarrass myself! I've come to the conclusion that me and Buses just don't get on very well, and neither do me and a certain bus driver. The first time I used a bus I was around 11 or 12 and I went up to the driver and said these penultimate words "Ticket please". Yes I actually said that, I'm going to put it down to watching to many movies and TV programs where they say that and just get on. Since this first incident I have learned that you actually have to tell the bus driver where you want to go because sadly there not mind readers. One of the most recent times I went to get on a bus was a few weeks ago, I was meeting my friend who was already on the bus and we were going to go training. She wasn't sure how much it would cost for me to get on this bus so I took £1, usually it's around 90p so I thought I'd have enough. Anyway the bus pulls up and I step onto it, ask the driver for my ticket and telling him where I want to go, then he replies with £1.10! As I mentioned earlier I only had £1, so I was 10p short. I looked over to my friend sitting on the bus and ask if she has 10p. She didn't. As I looked around not knowing what to do I notice the rest of the people looking at me like I'm a total freak. The bus driver then repeat to me that it's £1.10 and I was close to slapping him. I eventually made the decision to walk and me and my friend got off the bus and started walking around 3 miles. I was really angry because anyone of those other passengers on that bus would've had 10p!! I ended up getting massive blisters on my feet and a great story to tell, along with immense embarrassment. Thanks for reading x
