Today was the day that I was going to go down to Hubu Salon down by Tesco to inquire about unpaid work experience. I was nervous but I had a good feeling because I worked with the owner Tony before on my T.Y work experience and he was really nice and he helped me understand loads about being a hairdresser. I got all dressed up and made my way down to the hair salon at about 1pm, when I went in there Tony recognized me and I was pleased that he was happy to see me. I was telling him how that seeing as im nearly 17 years old that I was looking for some more experience and I made it clear that I did not want to be paid. After saying my piece, he seemed really happy and wanted to help me out so he told me to come in on Friday and his wife Lisa would be there and then she could go through some of the things I did before when I was there.


I was really happy and I couldn't wait for Friday, I was in such a good mood and I went home and told my mam the good news. She was so delighted and my whole family were building me up saying "They could ask you to come back on the following Monday" 


I went out afterwards at about 3pm and I was sitting on the little green in Grattan Court for about 30 minutes on my own because Brian and his friends were at Spar and then they walked down to the village to get their hair cut. I didn't mind because I brought my Ipad, pages and coloured pencils. It was a really nice day and it was hot so I wore like 3/4 length jeans with a vest top and sunglasses. Brian arrived at about 4pm on his own and said 2 Andy O'Reilly and Tom Cavanagh were gone to call for Michael and Craig Lee and Lee Donahue were still at the barbers. We hung out on the green for a little while and the boys took an interest in my Ipad and were playing games on it but then put a password on it which I still haven't taken off. Brian wasn't really in the mood for playing football so when Craig Lee and Lee McGinley arrived an everyone was going onto the green to play football, he told them that we were going in to his house.


We stead in Brian's house for the rest of the night and we were in the kitchen listening to music and lying on the floor drawing. It was fun and then I was offered food, which I never know what to say; do I say yes but then they'll probably think I'm taking advantage but if I said no then they'll probably think that I don't like their food or that I'm rude. We all had 2 burgers which were really nice. For the rest of the night we were in the kitchen listening to music and we made this picture where it had mine and Brian's hands with a heart in the middle. It took me ages to colour them in but I didn't mind I was having fun. Brian was drawing on another pages loads of funny pictures and he seemed to be having fun. During that night I also set Brian up on Skype so we can talk to each other on it and go on the webcam to talk as well. The night was really fun and I loved spending time with him that day.
