The moments that defined the person i am today | DanielMarshallAdventures

So as many of you know by know after writing over 50 Blog posts i am a very open person, i talk about a lot of things, i share onto my personal life where businesses i have networked with, and others can see the real me.
Not caring what impact it might have on that side of life because if i can not be who i am then i do not see the point in even trying to do the things i love.

To me this a special post and will be the most open post so far and its also a very important month in my life, that started the change last year to the person i am.
So in this post i am going to let you know the moments that defined my life, the problems i had to overcome, and bits of my life you never know before today.

I suppose to start where it all began, is when i was around 3, from the earliest i can remember.
From that age till i was 18 i had to put up with a abusive dad who would not only be emotional abuse but very physical as well.
Police got involved so many times but choose not to do anything.

My Dad was obsessed with the fact he had something wrong with him, and would often spend days shouting, at my mum, saying i am going to die, the doctors wont listen, they wont help, they think, i am a physco, which would then often lead to my mum being beaten up, my dad smashing the place, and lots of shouting and me having to sit on the top of the landing listening to make sure my mum was ok, to rush down, to save her.

I remember one day, when i was young, it was one of the worst weather days i had ever seen, and just bolted it down with thick hail most of the day.
My dad had made himself so ill, with his own stupidness  that we had to go down and see him.

We walked a hour in the bad weather, for my dad to cry and moan, and when he did not get his own way he shouted for us to go.

Later that evening they had let him go, and well when he came back decided to smash the place.

Christmas was a day that was never enjoyed, and around 3 times i think it was, he would go crazy and tear everything up, he hated Christmas that much.
Just when you think he had calmed down the next day, where we would have a boxing day, platter of meats etc, he would start with the smashing again.

Some years we went to aunties to stay the night it got that bad, for him to then call round the next day and start on them for us being there.

Over the years things only got worse, i was shouted at and called stupid because i could not tie laces, even when i was 16 saying at his age he should f.... be able to.
Yeah hardly going to have the confidence to be able to when i am always put down.
which only the last year i have found out that its not my fault i can not tie which ill explain later.

Around the start of primary school, i had massive toilet problems which i was made fun of, calls names etc, and was heavily  bullied for, which the bullying only got worse, because word got out about my dads shouting etc.

I was put on so many different tablets and horrible tasting stuff i had to take.
I had took this for over 10 years, and was in so much pain, to only find out that it was stress that was causing it, and I managed to partly move away from it, when i was 18 and since then i no longer have those problems (:

With everything that was going off in my life, i became very depressed, often crying, and running away from home about 5 times ):

My schools never bothered to get any help for me, and my mum even though she was suffering never did anything about it either.

This then led to getting inanity as well with all the bullying that i had in my life, i find it hard to talk to people, i would be scared all the time, and would get panic attacks.

I tried to get myself a girlfriend, but had many conflicting feelings of wanting to be with someone to get rid of the pain but at the same time pushing them away because of not wanting that person to hear and see what went on in my life.

I was born in Nottingham, and i took my Girlfriend one day to wollation hall, my mum had rang up in the day, and all you could hear was my dad shouting.
I fell to pieces crying, and even my Girlfriend could hear the convo.

I did not want to go home, my girlfriend did not know what to do, and after hours the police was called, as i had no where else to go, but i did not want to go home.
They let me know they could not force me to go home due to being 18 and having my own life choices now.
I had no choice and had to go back.
Problem was that everytime the police had to visit my dad, it only made him worse as soon as they went he would shout saying how dare you bring the pigs into it again.

Months later i snapped and had enough, one day when things were going off again i dragged my mum outside and said im sorry ive had enough this has to end, called the police and got my dad out of the house for a few days.
We got some things that we could carry, and went to a homeless shelter.
after a year of moving to 3 different temporary accommodation, we finally got a permanent place.

The first few months was great and i finally could focus in life,
I had been talking to a girl for a few months online and from there we became Together.

Weather something in my mum changed, or she did not like my choice of a girlfriend, but she started to be very demanding, shouting, and it was like having my dad back.

My depression came back, and again i found it hard to talk to people other then my girlfriend.
at the time i had just finished college and was on job seekers looking for a job, i was paying 20 pound board and was told if i wanted to buy treats that i had to with my own money,
I had a phone contract on the go, plus i had paid for broadband, which we both used.
I left her note one weekend as she was at work, and i was heading off to spend the weekend with my ex.
and that i could not afford some of the board this week, due to wanting to spend money doing things with my girlfriend, who i was trying to build a life with.
Its not like i said i was not paying it, so instead of understanding, she sent me a nasty text saying how dare you do, i want you out.

After hours of arguing, i had to travel back to nottingham, to collect my things, to then travel back to Grantham, to spend the week at my exs parents house.
Which then after going to the council to explain my situation i was told i could not be put on any form of list that i had to of at least lived in Grantham for 3 months.

So back to Nottingham again to beg to put in a homeless shelter.
After a few weeks i managed to find a shared house.

As you can imagine they not only took a tole on me but being with my girlfriend as well, i want not myself, i could not think right yet only, think about spending time with her.
she would come over at the weekend, but most of the time, to only hear shouting and fighting that a couple was doing in the shared house.
I had moved away from that experience to be back where i started.

We almost split up but we powered through it, and a year later, i found myself a shared house in Grantham.

Things started to get much better, i was eating a lot better, as i was thin as a rake due to not having much money having to spend it, seeing my ex, and although i could see my ex at the weekends, it was the first time i had to depend on myself, which i was struggling with.

Back then because i was 25 job seekers was only 55 pounds a week.
after 6 months of being in Grantham, the person who owned the house was selling to move to another location.
we was put in the situation of me finding another shared house, or moving into with each other.
we managed to get a place, and it was like trouble just had to follow us.
This time, loud music out 2am, banging and much more from the places below us as we was renting a place with 2 other rooms in the house.

On top of all that, i was struggling getting used to having so much time with each other.
Since all my life was stuck in a room, gaming to distract me from my parents i got used to that alone feeling.
the first few months were hard on each both, but at time went by we got used to being with each other and i learned to open up to her.

I got myself a job, but was still no good, at talking to people, i also was struggling at every job i had.
we moved into somewhere better, and again things were looking up.

the last 2 years of us being together was not great, her parents decided it was a good idea that everytime i did something wrong or lost a job, to have a right go at me.
Which i understood there reasons for it due to wanting their daughter to have financial backing, to afford things in life and to keep the place we was living in.

But it was like they was trying to be my parents and i hated that, and even to start with i had to have a go at my girlfriend, for having a go at me as well about it, instead of talking to me why i lost the job.

Eventually she started listening and backing me up as well.

Even though i was happy with her, most days something just did not feel right.
most days i needed to feel secure, and would often get bored and lonely, and not feel right when she was off to work, and i had the place to myself for 6 hours.

It was like even if we was not doing anything together, eg watching tv etc. just her being in the house make me feel more at ease.

I never saw help for this and my girlfriend never really noticed it enough to tell me to get help.
I think, the reason i craved to feel at ease was from everything that had happen to me in the past.
then the day came i did the most stupid thing ever.

I was sick of us arguing over such stupid things but also not wanting the neighbours to hear and for us to get kicked out.
the last 2 years we was together we just aruged a lot, of many different things, and i could feel inside not wanting to become my dad but i could not control, aruging back some things were might fault and some hers thats what arugements are like.

there were weekends where she would see her family who only lived 25mins walk, and already saw them a lot, and i wanted to spend time with her or we had planned something for her, which instead became us going over to theres.
do not get me wrong most of the times i liked going over to her paretns but it was the point that we had planned stuff and it was like that did not matter.

I cant remember what it was about, all i can remember is one day while she was at work, she was talking to someone about something, on facebook, on the computer, which we often shared the computer and left our facebooks open, as we trusted each other.  and not remembering what is was about, so much has gone off in my life its hard to remember everything.
I had enough of the lies,  she texted me saying she left her keys at home so could i let her in when she texted coming back.

I took my keys and went out. i was upset and not thinking, said some mean things by text and asked to meet in a public place to talk. which clearly saying mean things before meeting up is not a good idea.

She decided weather she had enough of me, but instead of ringing me or meeting me to ring her parents.
I managed to get through to her a hour later, and she said i am with my paretns and i want you to come back to give me my keys.
I also said i would only if her paretns was not going to be around knowing how much they like to show their authoirty.

After a hour of aruging of her saying they would be involved, she got the police involved, and they wanted me out after pulling that stupid move.

Which to some understanding i knew that was the right choice.
things was not exactly going right with us anyway, so maybe this was the right thing to do.

Although i had no where to go, no money, no friends, and my family wanted nothing to do with me, and i did not really want nothing to do with them.

My ex still had feelings for me and so did i, i hardly ate, my depression came back even worser then when i had to deal with crap from my dad.
my brain was a mess and i was not thinking at all, all it could think about was being back with her.
we tired to make things work, but not ended up aruging again, and me saying email after email, being a wreck saying sorry, and a hell of a lot more.

Her paretns was not happy and again got the police involved, i was given my first caution.
I had manged to get into supported housing, and well as i explained before in a time where i needed the help, to snap out of my stupid brain i could not get the help till it was to late.
In those following months, even though i could end up in jail, and was told off by so many people to stop, i could not stop wanting to contact her and so sorry.

I just wanted to take back what i had done, and to explain myself to her face.
I let my life slide away, not wanting to do anything because nothing mattered.

I learned however that all the times i lost my job, and all the times i was shouted at for no reason, because i could not do something was because, i lacked hand coordination.
I also suffered from not being dumb, knowing how to do something like tie laces, but my hands getting all confused and not being able to do it.

This time it was the first time of being alone, where i had this similar issue in nottingham, at least i had my ex to talk to and be around.
This time i had no one and was going getting worse by getting a second caution.

My support worker, got to know me and what i liked doing, which was making videos, and said why dont you see if you could make a business out of it.

I went to lincoln on a course to learn about starting up your own business.
I poured everything i could into it, just to distract my brain from thinking of her.
it seemed to start working, i was going on networking events and working on my business plan.

Now i do not care if my ex decides in rest of the write up to report me, tell her friends about me etc, and try to get her parents involved more, because, i have turned my life around which you will get to find out later on in this post.
I have also learned in life to be strong, be smart, my ex could aruge the fact that i have written this and its targeting her, expect i have not mentioned her name in any of my posts i do.
its a free world and i am allowed to explain how i feel about events that went off in my life.
and as you read more you will understand (:

The next moments really defined my life, to what it is now and was the turning point to get my life back on track.

I use social media a lot because as a growing business that is what you need to use to get your content out there.

all what i am about to say i have screen shot everything and the police know about it, and well as many people (:

I put a picture of me at a networking event on twitter, i got a email through saying my ex had liked the tweet,
now for someone who got the police invovled twice to make me stay away, seemed a bit odd.
Maybe it was a miss hit, the question in the first place was why was she even checking my twitter, because she had already moved on with another guy?

few days later another email, my ex liked something else i posted, miss click one let off miss click twice now something is up.

I fell into her stupid sick game, weather it was her plan, her bfs, or her parents who knows but i decided to send over 10 emails, asking what the hell is going off, and me being silly me wanting to be with her again.

she never replied to them, when a few days later, her mum who has twitter, liked something i put on twitter.

few days later i gets a knock on the door, and arrested for contacting her, her plan worked.
I got a court date a month later, and i just kept getting my head down trying to start my business up.
I got prank calls cause i had a landline number up on my website for people to contact me, Police tracked and noted it down, i did not want to take action, i did not want things starting again in my life, after trying to tear away from it.
The court date came and went, and although i explained about the contact on twitter, because my actions in the first place was way more then what she had done and because she did not reply to emails, it looked like she did nothing wrong.
I accpeted what i did, because even to this day i should not have kept doing what i was and got hit with a fine, and 12 months where i could not contact her, show up at her work etc.
Some people may and even my ex may think that i should of gone to jail, maybe i was willing to accept any charge.

I knew i was given a second chance at life, and that if i was stupid enough to go down the path of contacting her again this time it would be jail.
something had to change in my life, so i looked at my fitness, looked at my life and started down the path of leading my own life, for the first time.
I took part in a tennis scheme, tennis being something i loved playing, but my fitness level were very poor and also i never played tennis to learn how to, just something i use to hit the ball any how with my ex.
Now i do not know what my ex was thinking, weather she hated me that much, because she did not get the result she wanted from the court, but i think if someone is took to court for harrsement then, if that other person does something which is not right they should get in trouble to.
My ex thought it was a grand funny thing, to put up a tweet with a attchement to the local journal about which mentioned people that had been to the court in lincoln.
Saying that she was finally happy to get the closure she needed.
I did not see this but rather heard it from someone else, in my terms of court order it was not to also stork her on social media, which again i did not but when you can not live your life because of fear of just that being targeted then what else are you supposed to do.
Should i have reported it yes, but again i just could not put up with the hassle, and it being took to court.

Numerous times before court she had put on twitter that she just wish people would move on,
and yet for someone who has clearly moved on and with someone else, i honestly think deep down even if its hate for me, she still feels the need to somehow be a part of my life.

Moving on, I started to go out for walks something i really struggled with since being with her, due to my own body, even though we did some sport, after looking back at my life, i realised that i stopped doing sport and let my fitness go because i wanted to spend so much time with her and never really focus on what i wanted to do in life, that and gaming took over my life as well (:

I loved the adventures we went on but also struggled with long day outs and countryside walks.

Something i was kind to improve on now i was on my own.
around this time i got funding, to start up my own business, brought equipment, and started networking and working on tester videos.
I also tried to get out of the house, to not let my depression win and learn how to do photography.

as you can see i had no idea how to do it back then and my shots were awful.


I got my head down on my computer most days, learning how to do motion graphics, just learning.
The trouble was the more i started to learn the more i lost the enjoyment of making videos and even photography,
it made me feel worse and would send my depression out of control.
I would get frusated at myself because i had it planned in my head how i wanted a video to go, for x business but lack the confidence, and the time sitting all day trying to edit the video.
spending days watching Youtube Videos how to create something that was only a few seconds long but would make a huge difference in the quality of videos.

After having many meetings with advisers i decided to put the business on hold, to not only try and still get the help i need with my mental health but to learn even more.

I got myself to a gym, and started really pushing, as i was sick of how weak i was, connected with a fellow person who also went to the same gym and just all my emotions into it.

My photography was improving, and i loved networking with people, when someone i did not expect to happen to not only Grantham but Lincolnshire was closures of A & E Turning 24 hours, to a lot less hours and on the threat to this day of being closed.

This day was one of many turning points in my life.
I wanted to help out the only way i could think of which was to film it and take photos.

I got a overwhelming support from the community, and even though my photography was improving i still say for the time my photos was not that good.

I slowly started to open myself up more talking about my issues, which tied in really to what was going off, as it was more then just Hospital closures but cuts being made to the NHS services like the mental health etc.

I opened up to the people that i was helping with my work, and they understood and talk to me when i do feel down, and understand me way better then the mental health team and doctors.

Although around this time of trying to make friends, i had some people i started to get to know that i had to block because, they know of my ex, and i also knew from the way our convos went that, my ex has been saying stuff about what happended and also warning them off me.
my ex really did not want me to turn my life around at all.
so i toughen up and thought i would rather have no friends, then talk to people who do not understand me and i know dont care, or there just to mess me about.
2017 hit and its been a amazing year so far.

I went to cover more events, with photography and videos, i started networking with more people, and more and more i was surrounding myself with people who were there for me,

The more i opened up the more happyier i felt and the more, please understood about some of my issues.

I continuously got my head down and poured everything i had, my depression kept fighting back even harder, and days where i would fall about over nothing, and days where i knew why i was feeling the way i did and that trying to move on, but struggling to cope and thinking of the past.

as i have mentioned before i am a dabbler and i think because i never really opened myself up for trying new things in the past, this year was going to be different, i learned about social media marketing, i started writing blogs to go with photography and videos i was doing.
Posts like the NHS Marches, Businesses that i had networked with, and explaning why that business was good, taking photography and really wanting to help lincolnshire grow.

Life was finally making sense to me, I joined a running club because as well as wanting to get stronger, i wanted to work on my stamina, meeting new people and being a part of the community.

My photography is something that only keeps improving and is where it is helping the community the most and where i find myself the most confident and can network with people.
Ok i am not running a business like i wanted but i used my experience to do it as a hobby, while still having business elements to it, so one day when i am ready to take that adventure i have already bulit myself something amazing to go and continue with.

I was never the brightest of sparks, but because i was forced into being on my own, by my own actions, i learned to grow up, i learned to pay more attention to what goes off in the world.
and in my eyes which i will never change my mind on this, in some messed up way, i needed to go to court, and i need that puinshment so it finally drilled some god dam sense into me, and to force me out of my sprialling circle i was in.

I have done things i never would of dreamed off because i keep on fighting and pushing, to be better and better.
my confidence comes from wanting to be heard, and wanting to prove to my past, all my past that i am here to stay and that i can do great things !!!!

sometimes in order to discover who you are and what you are supposed to do in life you must first, go from having nearly everything in life to having nothing and having to build it back up.
That is what has happen, in my new life, i have true friends, not friends i hanged out with for the sake of it because i had no one else.
I have more drive, more fitness then i ever have done in life,
Ive been on the radio twice and planning right now with someone on a third one.
I have been in the journal not for something bad this time but for mutiple good things i have done.
I fight because i want to, because i need to if i want to prove to myself and my past that i have learned to adapt to my problems and embrace them,

I learned to be smarted, and record everything that may seem like a attack, like blog posts that have been tracked to Grantham, one of my posts about if i had a million pounds what would i do.
comments like i would pay 1 million people a pound to smash your teeth in, to comments from the same person replying to themselfs about buying a fish tank on ebay and someone commenting saying they have one in Grantham and they live on x street, which just made me laugh so much, so thanks for making my day there (:

I used to watch videos with my ex on Youtube about when people get famous how much hate they get.
well i am not famous and do not see myself ever be, but in a way i have turned my life around and well some people.... in Grantham, tracked location, do not want to see me do that or be happy.

I think its sad that there is always 2 sides to story, and yet, when someones from your past, judges you based on what they have heard from others rather then getting to know you, i think its so sad really.

My ex might write a blog post back about what i have said, let her, my ex may try and get people to scare me... guess what let her, and my ex, may try and take me to court, but this time, i have a strong backing because i am learning to turn my life around, i am not perfect and will never be, and i would be lying if i said i have completety turned my life around, because i do still struggle in life and i am no where near getting fixed down to the stupid help i can not get.

I am no longer afarid of what people think of me, and what may happen in my life now that i have posted this blog.
If i can not be open about my problems then i honestly do not see why i would even bother doing anything i do.

Being open is the best feeling in the world, not many people can do it, not because they do not want to but because of fear,... yes fear of us, us humans.
we are our own problems, we judge people we put titles on them and we look down on others, like people with mental health problems are monsters.

Like we have no feelings, i was talking to a few tennis players i get on well with the other week about mental health after having a big melt down.
one person was furious about the support i have not been able to have, having to wait 5 months just to get 3 months of help before having to wait the same amount of time again to get more help.

the person said that, its also how people look at each other, if someone was in a cast, due to a accident then people would make sure they are ok, but if someone is looking down, its we dont want to talk to them, dont want to make ourself feel down or go down to common social standing, be seen with less.

on a positive note mental health is being talked about more and more people are understanding but its still going to be someone, people choose to look down on, all the people can do who suffer is keep proving those who treat us wrong, that we are hear for a reason, that we all have different talents and just because someone may be feeling down does not mean they are useless.
I started to bulid my confidence i know what i am good at and what i am not so good at and just fount ways to cope and work around things.

I was going to write this blog at the end of this month because my 12 months of not contacting her, would be up,
it was going to be a look back blog, but i felt the need to write about it now.
should i have written it after knowing that i could somehow get in trouble still, maybe but again i fear nothing.
to me its also a test, and a way of being the most open i have ever been.
this month is going to be hard for me, because its going to test me so much, and have already had rough sleeping nights of thinking about things.
but lets see, if i get any nasty comments, prank phone calls or anything, that my ex or her friends want to do to see if they can break me (:

one of the things that just proves people wanted to test me was the fact that since i mentioned 4 blog posts back that all comments was being monitored and traced, that i have not had any bad comments since, or 100 comments within a hour of clearly the same person being stupid,

I did some very stupid things in my life, and i was not a good person, am i good person know, yes maybe i dont know, i just keep trying to be me and do what i love.
So what if i may scare some people, and people know about my past and choice to not speak to me, if those people are so low minded then i do not need them in my life (:
maybe i have not been able to find someone else to be with because of my past who knows ??
i just focus on what i wanted to do in life, and things like a girlfriend come second (:

whose to say that i wont ever do anything stupid in my life again ?
all i can do is keep pushing to improve, to hit targets and enjoy the live i have got now !!!
this blog post i have written for 4 hours straight, and it has tired me, more mentally having to bring stuff up, but i will feel more happier with doing so (:

all i want to do in life now, it forget about the past, and keep driving forward, i know i can never be with my ex and that everything happends for a reason i have believed that even since the court case, its why i have the great life i have now, i will have my ups and down, but what breaks us only makes us stronger.
she has bulit a life with her new partner doing the things she wants to do in life, and i have done the same with my life, i am happy for her and will always be just as i am happy with the progress i am making (:

Thank you for reading i let you decide, on what you think of me, just know that given a amount of time, people can start to change, and people have new paths to take, which may or may not lead them into a better life, you just got to embrace it, and see where life takes you.

PS, if sorry for my spelling and grammer i feel it only get worse lol also, sometimes even if you read it all through 2-3 times to make sure it makes sense you end up missing bits of sentences, so if i have started explaining things and not carried on please let me know (:

My Adventures, The Coach To 5k Course with Grantham Running Club !!! | DanielMarshallAdventures

Over the past Few months I have put up a few posts about Grantham Running club, and i mentioned at the start of the Coach to 5k that i would write about the course as a whole as the finish line, so here we go !!!!

12 weeks a go i started the biggest challenge in my life, 12 weeks a go, I was unfit, and very nervous about the challenge ahead.

I had attempted to Join the running club in 2016, only a few weeks after the coach to 5k has ended and at the time Running was something not on my mind, until I looked on google about things to do In Grantham.

Should i have looked the club up sooner, I can honestly say that everything happens for a reason, and that no i should of not, at the time which I will explain later on.

I had only attended 3 run sessions in 2016 when i decided that i was struggling to much and it was not for me.

As 2017 started it was a year that i needed things to change in my life, diet, fitness, strength and a whole bunch of things.

I noticed the club was putting the course back on, and so i attended my first session,
The idea of it being the group met on a Monday and Wednesday for 12 weeks.

Shock and fear took over my emotions when i arrived at the tennis club as around 80 people turned up. The running sessions was held at the Tennis club, this was great to see 2 businesses networking with each other (:


me being well me, I kept myself to myself as i do not cope well in big groups.
The group got split into people wanting to aim to do 10k and 5k,
The 5k group set out, going through  running furrows which is a pubic foot path, on the right a sports field which i think is owned by a school, to the left, a railway bridge, and as you go down the path, you are surrounded by the lovely nature.
This then opens ups to many streets and heading towards manthorpe.
We was told it would be 2 mins of walking and 1 min of running, just to get everyone used to it.

I think we did around 20-25 mins, we make sure before and after every session to always stretch our muscles, as with any form of exercise you do you always need to warm up and cool down.

And as the weeks got going, we extended the time of running, and the 5k group was split into 3 groups, Group A being the group that wanted to do the 5k as a faster pace.

By week 4 we was doing 20mins of running without a break, and i was starting to really struggle with maintaining my pace.
I would have stages of feeling great followed by sharp pains, that for me going at the pace i was i just could not keep it going, it became go full pelt for a minute and cause more pain or just stop.

Stop not being who i am hehe, for the next few weeks as we reached our first 5k distance, the run leaders were helping me by reminding me to slow down and i started to get used to it.

Penny who helped me in 2016 with the running was someone i kept looking up to for inspiration as she was a amazing run leader, pushing us but also having great laughs and helping us reach our goals.

By week 7 we was already going off road, through narrow paths, uphills and seeing the wonderful views of Grantham, as we set off, around Great Gonerby.

I noticed in our Facebook Group that people was talking about going on their first park,run which is global event, helping encouraging people to enjoy running.
In Grantham there is one held at Belton house most weekends.

It is a 2 lap course which is 5k, so i thought with already reaching 5k i would give it a try.

It was not what i expected, with over 300 runners, and you have no idea how to control your pace with so many people around you, you think your going at the right pace until you reach the second lap and then it hits you.



I told myself i never wanted to do a park run again, well i have now done 4 so yeah that happened lol, ill explain more about why i decided to keep going back later on.

I came back after a horrible park run to do the best running since starting at the club, and i was well happy.

Then i suffered my first, minor leg pain, because i do so much physically activities, it took its tole, and only for a week i had to miss running, tennis and gym, to me this felt like longer as i love everything i do, and missing out and being around people just made it worse.

again i came back even stronger as i went on my second park run and managed to get a time of just under 30 minutes.




But that could not of happen if it was not for some of the amazing runners from the group who i got talked to, who kept pushing me, to keep going.
I feel that the i enjoy sport more when i am being competitive i want to always achieving more and more, and although the park run is tough, i still want to keep going to more because i know if i can control my pacing i can do awesome (:

with only 3 weeks left to the end of the course , we all had some surprises and different challenges.
One of which was the club got invited to go to Ropsley

The idea was to run at a different location but then able to all get together to have a BBQ !!!



The Pub may not be much from the outside but it has a wonderful sitting area inside and a big outside space for when its nice in the summer.



We was told there would be 3 routes we could choose to be in, 5k, 6 miles and 10k i think not sure 100 percent on the route mileage.
Anyway i was over hearing the fun, of what the run leaders were discussing about the routes.
Our run leader, had this big map and was being told go down here, turn left do this and that lol
All i can say is i am not surprise we ended up doing over 5 miles instead of 5k, even i would of been confused where we was going from a map and remembering it off by heart hehe (:

This was the toughest run i had ever faced, in blazing heat about 25 degrees, with no shade, and no wind.

Straights that seemed like a mirage that went on forever, massive uphill parts, all of us was really struggling,
Most of our groups set off at their normal pace thinking it would be ok as we was going to do 5k well at one point if we had not turned out some signs we would of done 10 miles lol.





Trust me when i say that from that picture it may look nice but its such a demanding course.
The countryside itself yes is amazing.
I was glad i went for the experience, and the atmosphere of talking to people.
I was to tired to even think about food with not feeling great either because of the sun, some of the runners can do great in the sun and love in but nope not me anything over 20 and i really struggle.

I managed to get a drink and sit down, while everyone was getting food and it was really tempting as there was burgers, sausages chips and much more.





I would like to go again maybe once i know i can run in the heat and that i have got at least 10k under my belt !!!

Which leads me onto my next challenge the coach to 5k and 10k was invited to do one of the running club sessions starting from the normal location of the meres leisure centre in Grantham.
The task was to run Through the canal and see how far you could reach within 20 minutes and then beat it next month.

This was even more important to me then Ropsley as this was my revenge course.
I had run down the canal 2 times before last year when i had joined the club and struggled.
So I needed to know how much progress i had made since then.

Half way through as with some of the run sessions i got a bit of pain but shock it off and was like even if it hurts i am doing this, and in 20mins i managed to reach 3k.

I was drained when our runner leader which was led by penny for the session said come on your running it back !!!!

I was like your kidding right, nope you can do this Daniel and you know what because she kept me talking most of the way and pushing me to keep going, i some how ran faster on the way back.

which meant not only did i get much further then i did last year, but i ran 7k in total !!!!

the first time ever minus the over 5 mile run which i did a lot of stops and walking on.

entering the last week, penny was not letting it off so easy as we ended up doing another 7k run.
This time Through even more narrows paths, more steep hills, and in very tricky hot weather.

Overall with struggling a little i just managed to keep pushing and complete the run, with some great laughs and adventures along the way !!!



Half way through the run our run leader took some amazing pictures that are now wonderful memories of the adventures of the running.




 I think even though i have 2 more pictures to show that i am in, and you would think that the one upcoming would be the one to remember, be more important. i think i love this picture the most because, it was a picture i look ok in lol, but also it was such a wonderful adventure day, Proving that we can all run more then just 5k !!! (:

So the last run of the course was up, and it had already been a hot week, with the last run being around 25 degrees, Taking more off road routes, I really struggled with this run the most, to say a few days before that i ran 7k and i could not even manage 3k, it really surprise you how much the heat can affect your performance.
Although it was another great run, with of course another epic photo of  some of the runners (:



 Onward to the weekend which saw the running club come Together, at the Tennis club once again for the Graduation of the runners taking part in the coach to 5k, and 10k, a epic BBQ and our very own Grantham Running club Shirts !!!!

I turned up wanting to look smart as i feel important events like that you just need to be hehe,
The tennis club staff were at hand, Inc The Manger Sarah Patton who also completed the coach to 5k, so well done for someone who on multiple times said she Didnt want to go hehe, but she did and achieved, showing shes not only a great tennis player, manager but a runner (:

The tennis club also arranged ratchet and balls for the kids that came along with their parents.
on a day where i am dressed not for tennis, and a day to rest and enjoy myself, i could not tear myselt away from Joining in (:
Playing against some of the run leaders and kids, making sure everyone got a go, but also being a little bit competitive wanting to show how good my tennis was haha (:

After a bit of tennis we all went over to the best Hog Roast in the world, stacks of meat, served to everyone, and it tasted epic, is all i can say.


I did not want to be cheeky and ask for more so i only had one lot.
It was not to long before i left everyone chatting and enjoying the food while yes i went to play more tennis ahh me hey what you going to do (:




here is just a selection of runners enjoying their food (:





After a hour we all got called as it was time for our shirts (:
A speech was said which the only thing missing was a mic so we could all hear it properly.
Names were read out, and everyone getting claps for achieving the course.

A bunch of people could not attend due to different reasons, which other people collected on their behalf to give to them at a later date (:

It was time for the group photo, and the thing about things like that is I wouldn't say hate being in photos but i get really shy, i also do not know how to act.
A few people went to hid in the back of the group so i followed but nope the run leader i look up to was not having none of that (:
I got made to be at the front and to be a part of the photo which in the end i am glad i was as i now have something to look back on, instead of being a group photo with me not in it lol.



Overall In my Opinion you just could not meet a more wonderful and caring community in Grantham.
Its amazing to see how much dedication and hard work, the club has put into, Building a community.
How its evolved over the years, and how little it costs to join a club,
Some may say why would i pay just to run with a group of people !!!???

I can tell you now, it will change your life forever being with the running club, sure you could run by yourself, and with headphones in, but being involved in something much bigger, its just such achievement for 24 pounds a year, you get to run on a weekly basis around Grantham, exploring, being a adventurous and outgoing person.

You get to have discounts on Races to compete in, the club also hosts many events across the year, like BBQ, Bowling and much more.
The experience of meeting new people and making friends is its own reward.

I could honestly say that i could not manage what i have done without the club, without the runners in the groups, the run leaders and the fun times.

For 24 pounds a year, you can not find anything in Grantham, for less with such benefits to your health its truly outstanding !!!


I enjoy ever moment that i am now continuing  with the club on my next adventure which is making my way to 10k (:

What breaks us only makes us stronger and at times i really struggled with the running, and i will probably struggle even more, but that is the whole part of the journey no matter what sport or physical activities you do, if you are not willing to push yourself to always achieve better in life then you are not trying hard enough.
Its the same with my tennis and gym, at points i wanted to give up, and heck i almost did, but because i had been open with my issues, and started to build a community around me.
They had my back and helped me snap out of worrying so much.

My next Targets for the running is to not only reach 10k but work on my speed with the park runs and aiming by next year to get myself under the 25 min mark !!!!

So i leave you with a collection of bonus pictures and the advice of  Weather your worried about your health or even running do not be, ok do not jump into trying to do 5k if you have not run much like i did last year, but if a running club near you does the same and has a course to work on getting in shape, and working your way to running more then what are you waiting for get out that door and have the most epic adventure of your life !!!!!!! hehe
This has been my adventure of the last 12 weeks thank you Grantham running Club, and the local community, and thank you readers for reading this very long post (:

Bonus pics !!!!!!!!!!!

Online Dating Yay OR Nay ??? My Experiences | DanielMarshallAdventures

This is a blog post i was not sure weather to right or not, but decided in my own experiences to let people know and for others to share their experiences.

Online Dating has grown so much in the last 10 years, and in this blog post we will look into some of the so called free dating sites and weather it is worth wasting your time over, vs getting to know people in the real world.

I have never been a very confident person, so to me being able to chat to people about almost anything ask the touch of a keyboard is great.
I get to know the person, before well getting to know them in person so at least we have a common ground and things we wanted to talk about more when we do meet in person.

The first site i ever used which i would not really call a dating site but rather a place to talk to people, play online games etc.
This was a site Called Tagged as you can see by the image below.


Tagged was a great site because it had a rather addicting game called pets.
This was where you had some not really money to spend on buying people on tagged, and it was a competition of buying each others pets as they are called off each other.
It may be a sad concept, which there are many things in life that are so stupid and so simply that we end up still playing because its addicting.

Moving on i would look for people around 30 ish miles to get to know, and ended up finding a girl that become my Girlfriend for 5 years.

We chat for months, and decided to arrange a meet, so i have tagged for making it possible to find someone at the time.

We bonded a fair bit by using the silly game of pets, i remember us having a competition on buying the most people, and that whenever someone brought me or my girlfriend, we would keep trying to earn money so that we could buy each other again so we owned each other virtually lol.

It was in my opinion the best website around, despite the only minor fact that lots of forgein people kept messaging me and my girlfriend, asking to come over to England to meet and messages like, click here to help us etc which was clearly spam and contained viruses.
it was amazing how one website could bring someone Together that much.

Sadly I went back onto that site after taking a few years break, and having a break up with my ex to find that although the layout had not changed much, the spam and fake accounts only grew.
Not just that but the way people judged you via your profile and what you put onto it.
it has always been my rule for years that if you create a long profile explaining who you are and what you like no one will take the time to read it.
I also say as well that you can not even begin to understand or get to know that person via what you write on there, otherwise again your profile would be pages long.
so the best way to get to know people is via messages.

From the sort of messages i get i can say this is general thing across all sites.
You either get told sorry i do not want to get to know you because your not my type.
Hmm.. very vague answer !!
So you proceed to ask then just out of curiousness why i am not there type.
and the different answers you get make me laugh.
Oh your just not my type, me thinks how can you possible no that, when we have not gotten pass hi, only conclusion is they are judging me on the way i look.
another reply is I.. do not need to give you a answer i do as i wish.

Then why.... on you even on the site lol if you judge someone right off the bat and will not tell them why because your stuck up on your high morals (:

Other replys are,i only get to know/date black people, racist much lol.
sorry you do not like this band i am into...really you wont talk to me because i may like a few different artists wow... (:

To even the classic ones as i am not judging you, my reply is of course yes you are, how about you get passed hi and get to know me before making that decision, which either then results in being blocked, a laughing reply of i would never date you, you ugly cunt, or this is why i do not talk to younger people because they have no manors.

I can understand that we all have a preference in some way to who we would like to get to know or even date, but 90 percent of opinions are made without even exchanging messages, which i think as a society that is really sad, for me i never ever judge on looks or age, personality counts, and the older you get the more you know that, i would rather be with someone who understands me etc, then weather be with what the society calls as a really hot looking women.

Anyway moving onto other sites, to a site called badoo, which is a another social site where you can message people and get to know them, with a limit to around 5 per day unless you pay for super powers, and other features like being in the top list where your profile gets seen more etc.




It is a free site to use and like with tagged is only a few now days that are free with the side options of add ons.

This site has a very mixed review, because on one hand i have made just online friends from it, and in other cases, comes back to the judging element again but not only that, badoo sending you emails saying so and so said hi, when they didn't its just badoo automated bots at work.
Creating fake accounts some with auto messages and some who send you 2 reply and then never speak to you again.

One of the clever methods i use to tell a fake from real is i say to them, take a picture with a sheet of paper saying my name face must be visible.
This way you know they are some account a guy has created, or the site has.
Again some of the replys you get  are i am real, click this link to see me, like yeah course i am that stupid to (:

I have had accounts magically no longer exist after that message, and other stupid replys.
Now days 60 percent of customers on any site are fake accounts created by the company to lure people in.

Even payed for sites such as match.com and boy will we get to that in a minute !!!

so yeah badoo overall is a ok site, once you get past the fakes and the bull crap its nice to find those who you get along with, but be warned it takes a while to find those.

now days if you put into google free dating sites or social sites, even looking after page after page, you will often find that the word free is using very loosely.
Most sites will often have the same basic layout of sign up asking you if your male or female and so on.


you can 80 percent of the time tell if your wasting your time before even setting up a profile by looking in the corner of the websites for a upgrade button.
those buttons once clicked will often say oh if you want to reply to a message it will only cost you 80p a day making us sound so cheap and then when you add it up a month becomes very expensive.
its also funny how you have not given a pic and your profile says nothing about you but suddenly you have a email saying you have gotten, 5 winks, 10 messages, 20 profile views within less then a hour of signing up to this so called free site.
Back when sites like this first started ok it might have caught a few people into their money making trap but because so many websites do the same thing and cant even be bothered to create a unique website other then making the sign up page flashy, that people are not as stupid as there were and can tell a spam a mile off.

so when it comes to paid for sites i have always stayed away, until i was stupidly caught by the marking team of match.com and via a friend who said it was good.


I had a email saying you can get 6 months for the price of 3 which was 30 pounds, and i thought at that why not, i will give it a shot.



you first are given a very over the topped detailed pages you have to fill out about yourself,
which as the title of the website suggests its a way to help match you with people which i do not believe in that system.

Only once you have paid do you find out that your ok to send messages and even read and reply but to only those with a paid for membership. and that if you want anyone to message you back, you can pay a extra 10 pound a month to lol.
Like thanks for wanting more of my money.
So if a women looks at my profile and supposedly wants to get to know me they can not unless they paid.
I even tried to sneakily get around there stupid rules and often told them to message me on Facebook, if they wanted giving them my link, which is not the same as getting a link to a website which you never heard of lol.

I dont mind people knowing i am on these sites, because i am fully open and people should not laugh or judge with someone who pefers getting to know people online first (:

I got told off my match.com for breaking their rules and that if i carried on i would be removed which to a degree i understood but still such a stupid rule.

anyway the overall exploring off the site is great and its easy to message me.
I met one person though there, but after 10 different excuses after meeting why i was not there type i gave up on the person.

After spending months on the site i started to notice a pattern of people looking at my profile even having their own range match, mine but yet again i got the nasty usual replies as with most of the sites i had been on.

I also noticed a pattern of fake accounts, and that as soon as i canacl my membership i magically got loads of people wanting to talk to me hmm....???
oh and that was not the best part of match.com, i cant remember the name completey, but join us on our sister site, where is more tailored to finding your match for only another 10 pounds per month.
so ok I joined match.com paying for it and you also want me to pay to use your other site which is some how better?

Maybe when the website first started it was good but now days its just full of fake accounts and them asking you to pay even more money, oh but we do give you the free meets with real people events every now and then which are only ever in major cities like Manchester etc. so yeah thanks (:

So after spending so many days of my time, i gave up for a while and then decided to see if any apps on my Ipad were better.

Singles around me, was a app where is suggested people based on your location, which was never ever right, as you would talk to someone which said they were 10 miles away and they were from another country. or over 100 miles a way.

Lovoo was the worst at connecting with people who were mostly from india and other places even after filtering the options to just UK people.


I will not even mention Tinder since it has its only rep, and hundreds of  videos on why not to use it.
Even Facebook has gotten that bad and smart and trying to put fake accounts on but way smarter.
Some days i can get up to 3 fake accounts trying to add me, it started with the usual stuff off, hey you looking for a guy for xxx and normally their picture would be of them nearly naked.
to have there location set to Grantham or nottingham and even looking close to a real person, until you see they have only just put a picture of themself up on that day and have posted nothing.

Online social media and even dating sites have gotten so bad now days that its impossible to even connect with people.

People like me who find it hard with social interaction to start with need to feel at ease and for me that is on via online sites but when you have so much corruption and sites saying there are free until you have signed up, its just becoming more effort then its worth.

Even though they may have been a lot of fake accounts i remember when i was 18 good old msn messager and even bearshare used to find music but also had a chat site.

Myspace turned from a social media platform to a serious music platform.
Another site which was so great back in the day, It was the site that got me into new music as a friend sent me a song of a old cd of Nickelback which now i love the band.

Facebook is impossible to make friends as if you send people messages they think your werdio because you do not know them, also people do not see them 90percent of the time because of the stupid oh here is a message but wait we will put it into this other inbox which we wont tell you have a message, and on mobiles you cant even access that section !!!!

Other sites people have talked about is plenty of fish which again costs,  e harmony which is most like match.com

I feel sorry for the way the new generation of the internet is going.
And because i find it so hard to start up a convo in person, its all just costs for us.
Even places like meetup.com. which is to meet like minded people for a meal, pub quiz, etc costs money, to join and even then go for these events, which is never just you and one person its normally around 10+ people plus ):
I suppose i just one day have to snap out of my shell and talk to people, put me in business mode and i am super confident put me in a room of people having a meal or even meeting someone new and i am useless lol, until i know that person i find it hard to talk.

I could go on about these sites but i shall leave it there, if you have ever been on any of those sites or different ones please let me know if it was a scam etc (:

Thank you For reading
Hopefully this world will not get worse at judging a book by its cover,.... who i am kidding it will only get worse lol

The Hidden stories I started on last year | DanielMarshallAdventures

As you can tell from now over 50 blogs i have written i love writing and getting my thoughts out.
Although i am not great at spelling or, grammer, there is nothing better then just letting your brain go wild to create your inner thoughts into stories.

When i was around 18 and studying music, i would often in my break just write little short stories of many different things, sadly i scrapped them, when i Moved to Grantham and which i had them to remind me of what went through my mind when writing it.

Writing in overall terms can be very difficult as often when we go to sleep and wake up the next day, we tweak, and even start over what we had already noted down.

For me i could blog all day, everyday about life, but when it comes to writing a story, i get a writers block, and with  a lot of writers comes that most used saying off, this time i will get my head and write, when in reality in hardly ever happends.

Its been a whole year since i ever touched my last writing project i was working on.

so i wanted to share with you some of what i had came up with,
Please note that again my grammer is not great, a story can be changed so often that i may even change bits if i ever decided to try my hand at it again.

Also please note that this is my wrote i hold all the originals and if i find someone has used it as there own etc, well you will see is all i am saying (:

The concept of this was to create people who had super powers and people who were supernatural but had some kind of superpower as well, so a vampire who could see the past and the future etc, this was a story i was so over the moon to write, and the more i did the more i enjoyed it.
Every chapter was going to switch in characters until certain parts came together, so you got a sense of the roles of the characters, but also how they found each other !!!!
                                             

Prologue

Read The book that breaks boundaries between the underworld and supernatural
as this book tells a story where people have powers and are unusually different .
we call them the divine.

These unique individuals  bring good but also many dark times, chaotic events have happened for centuries , unknown to the norm people , the people who can’t see the truth in this world,
the world the humans live in is always a lie.  Those weak minded humans sit and pray and cause there own chaos when the world is changing,  but only if they knew what truly was causing the destruction and unhappiness.
this story will chill you to the bone, and you wont want to take your eyes of the page
so sit back and prepare to have nightmares , as we are taking over tonight , this planet is ours and we do not share.

Chapter 1      It begins

I’m flying seeking out my prey who’s below on the mud, I can hear every foot print and he thinks I can’t see where hes going, I laugh to myself because I am so much superior , I am a divine creature and human , I am one of my kind , its about 9pm the moon is full and bright  and I have been toying around for to long now , I admit I love the fun the chase , it makes my skin boil , I have always been like that, I don’t go for the kill straight away I like to make my enemy think he has the better hand before delivering  the fatal blow.
where are my manners , my name is Samantha green but you can call me sam .
I am 500 years old but I look like im 20 , I am cute, well that’s what many guys have told me at least.
I am different to everyone because I am a vampire with a twist, you see not only am I a supernatural being but I also have powers that’s right , 2 powers in fact , I can see events , the past and the future now before you think that’s awesome, when I have these visions as such , i can never tell if they will come true because the past can come back to haunt you and the future well its never set in stone.
my other power is i can drink without getting drunk lol , yet again it can be good but also annoying because there are times where I wish I could get wasted , but oh well that’s what being a unquie person as myself is all about.
Now  were was we oh yes my prey , his body pouring with sweat as he trys to out run me,
There is road ahead in about a mile , I must take my chance before he reaches out to other people,
I have never once let any human know about me and im not letting that happened today.
I count to 5 then I close my wings and spiral down to him, with every second that passes to his demise  , my body shrecks with enjoyment, I know what I want and I know im about to get it.
I slam down infront of him as he halts to a stop and looks straight at me, his hands and legs shaking, his mouth wide open and I can see he knows his life is about to come to an end.
He Speaks  to me Almost crying but even in the face of danger, he holds it back
What !! are you , Who are you !! What do you want from me .
I wait about 10 seconds  before replying  just to keep him more on edge , When im about to kill someone I like the intensity of the conversation because it makes the victims’ blood taste so much better . 
You don’t need to know who I am I say to him in a wickely sounding voice, all you need to know is your about to die, I promise you sounding sincere but also with a grin, it will be quick however I cant promise you it wont hurt, I like pain I like my victim to feel every bit, the blood gushing out and the feeling that their hearts are about to stop.
I take a bolt of a step but before I could reach the lad , My body made me stop, I Froze in fact, My Head pounding ,  I could feel like I was coming in and out of reality, My vision was impaired , I felt dizzy and then just like that I collapsed .
It felt like hours had past when I finally woke  up, But something didn’t feel right , I was no longer in the forest , I was no longer on my feet and the lad well he wasn’t there either,
I was sitting in a old leather sofa , that clearly had seen better days .  My eyes scanned the room , noting down in my head every detail that my eyes could see, My skin ,also sensing if there was any danger around outside of the place but there was none.
In the room There was a clock that I believe  hadn’t worked in months,  Old tv , Old ornament’s , everything  was really old as if no one had been in the property for years
The most creepy  thing my eyes saw was about 15 photographs  on walls, and in picture frames of a young girl, about my age.  My eyes sparked wide open as I Realised all the pictures were of me,  I never  fell Truly in love with anyone  so who has  Pics of me , at this point for the first time in my life I was really scared,  I’ve always done the hunting and yet my instintics  felt like I was being the hunted, im in this strange place instead of the woods and someone knows about me, weather they know who I truly am that is a mystery I hope no one solves  but still its concerning  Me because who ever has taken  these clearly doesn’t live here anymore, I feel so confused .
And in that instance I was back In the forest still running to the human as if time it self hadn’t passed , my thirst and hunger was at the most intense level and all I could think about was feeding,
I opened his artery on his neck and started  biting so hard, blood filling my mouth and covering teeth , I kept biting more and more harder and harder until the lad flawed into my arms  he was no more.
as I sat there with the lad in my arms ,  my thrist and hunger  now gone, all I could think about was that event. Was it the past or future , why did it happen  and what did It mean , I shook my head , cleared my mind , picked myself up and buried the body in the ground so no one knew what happened.  It only takes me a matter of mins to burry a body due to my claws and my strength as a divine Creature I can do things much easier then a normal human being.

Chapter 2            Abilities

In sunny side Virginia We follow a young boy who discovers something about himself,
It is 8am and Michael aged 11 is getting ready for school , he packs his bag full of homework, and other  quirky things he likes to have when he is  bored in lessons,  like his Gameboy and music player.
he has spiky brown hair , Blue eyes and a caring personality.  He has blue sports sneakers on which he adores because his father brought him them about a year ago for his birthday , he uses them to walk, run and even play sports with, he often shows them off to his friends , who  get jealous because their parents can’t afford nice things for them.
The school Bus arrives and His mum Shouts him down, gives him his lunch and kisses him on the cheek goodbye , as he opens the door His mum shouts you behave today young man, and don’t get into any fights,
Michael replies with a smile and shuts the door.
The bus is full of Noisy kids who have just had sugary sweets and breakfast that gives them the energy needed to get through the school day.  Michael was sat with Sophie, and Lawrence  his 2 friends who he knew since being about 6 years old.  They all lived In the same  neighbourhood ,  They had many  adventures together ,  Ranging from going on long walks to abandon sites, To playing video games and role playing , They pretend to be in this fantasy world , where there are supernatural beings, and people with powers.
The place would always change but there identity’s would always remain the same
Sophie Being a supernatural vampire, The good kind not the bad who helps defeat other supernaturals , then there’s Lawrence who liked being a werewolf, he liked chasing Sophie down ,
but the 2 were always matched with the same skill and speed so neither of them ever won,  which Lawrence always hated because he wanted change he wanted to win and have power.
Last but least was Michael aka mike he was a unusual being he was just him but he did have a power  that matched the rest of them . He could change the course of history By freezing time , moving people around, moving them away from danger or putting objects  in place of them.
they all wished many times that their role playing would become reality , Sophie would only change one thing and that’s  her and Lawrence were best friends  instead of chasing each other in a never ending loop in reality.
as the bus was only a few mins approaching the school , Michael remembered seeing a poster for a new board game that was coming out a role playing game, which would go so well with there adventures
He bounced up and down with exciment and telled  both of them about it and that they should go to the  mystical realm shop after school which was the best shop in town.
If you were into role playing, supernatural , or fairy tales that was the place to shop,
it sells shelves of artifacts, Books, comics , Gadgets you name it , Michael was thinking if I had a ton of money , my house would be so full of cool unique things.

The day was passing by it was now 1.30 in the afternoon and the 3 of them were all studying history
Mr Reynolds was the Teacher and had taught history for 2 years now , it was his passion , On many occasions  Instead of following  the curriculum he would tell the class to put their books away and simply listen to his many tales about  his explorations and stories of his granddad  who fought in the war.
Mr Reynolds was only 30 years old , he has part of a beard growing , long side burns and Long Blue wavy hair . He was quite tall 6 ft to be precise , His fashion sense though could do with a tweak,
He wore mostly the same jeans everyday and they were falling to pieces because of how much he travels and digs, most weekends he would find himself at a construction site looking  for any rare and unusual artefacts , hence why he should really buy new clothes.
He loved his job and his hobbies and after he told his adventures and stories He announced to the class that they could get the change to go on a felid trip for some extra credit.
Mr Reynolds handed out letters to give to their parents, Lawrence, Sophie and Michael were all talking between them saying that it will be a smashing idea , They all loved exploring and have very active imaginations , so this was perfect, 
The school bell went and with that it was on to the last lesson of the day, Both Michael and Lawrence enjoyed I.T  The lessons covered many things from data input, To Creating  Posters and many more technically Work.  The Teachers would often walk up and down helping anyone with problems and checking if everyone was doing The right things and not playing games.
For Michael and Lawrence They were wizz kids when it came to hiding websites, such as games,
Adventure Quest also known as Battleon  Was the game They had a bond over , Many hours were spent on the game , It  started of very basic but over the years it grew so much adding many stories The company Grew that much it managed to create a spin Of Game called dragon fable
Lawrence sent a message Over msn To warn  Michael that when you reach the guardians post to battle the stumbling  Ox you need a sword that you get when you defeat  a different monster called  brunt the warrior in the mages outpost.
The 2 of them were always close in level and Objectives, Michael thanked him sending a thumb up emoji . It was about 20 mins before the end of the day , work had to be done so the teacher didn’t suspect anything,  So they put their heads down,  and produced something  that the rest of the class had spent all lesson doing,
The  School bell rang again as it was finally the end of the day, but before the class could leave
Miss Jenkins the I.T  Teacher spoke Reminding everyone about the homework that they needed to do over the next few days , she was very strict if you missed any homework because of a poor excuse she would death stare you and make you crack until you whimpered sorry .
The homework was to create a questionnaire and knock on peoples doors asking questions
quite simple really the hard part was thinking what kind of questions to ask.
As the class were leaving To go home , Sophie sprinted up to Lawrence and mike  and asked if there all were still going to the  mystical realm , Mike responded  with the biggest smile ever , Of course we are I wouldn’t miss Getting that new board game we best hurry though in case the shop sells out quickly. Anything new in this town people went mad for.

As they approached the shop, there was so many people inside, A big poster was outside on the window and it big letters it said 20 percent off everything not only that but next to it a smaller poster adverting the new Board Game It was Called Sprit Dice. The Game would normally be 20 pounds but because the store was having a sale not only was it a new game but they could get it cheaper at only 16 pounds.
As they battled Through the Crowds To Reach the game, Luck was on their side today as Michael Reached For The Last One left. A strange Feeling went into his fingers, making him shuddered .
Unknown to him, A Bizarre occurrence Had Happened, It was Brief Lasting all but 2 seconds , Everyone in the store had completely  froze  , but not mike of course he didn’t know what was going on because he had his eyes fixated on the board game.
The 2 Seconds had passed and Mike turned to Sophie and Lawrence , Who looked very confused , Michael looked puzzled and asked both of them if they were ok,  Lawrence looked at him and spoke quickly  Of course I am. Sophie hesitated For a second and said yep lets pay for the game and go home. Sophie Didn’t want to feel embarrassed or think  she would be laughed at but something didn’t feel right. She had a huge stabbing pain in her chest, making her want to be sick , she took a deep breath holded the pain in and went on with the rest of the day.
It was 5pm The nights sky Getting darker as time went by, all through  the day it spitted with rain but now it looked like it was going to thunder and bucket it down.
All of them rushed home so they didn’t get caught in a thunderstorm or worse big rocks of hail.
Michael’s parents agreed the night before that sophie and Lawrence could come over to have tea so they all after could crack into the game and have fun.
For Tea was Michaels mums  signature Dish Suet Crust Beef Pie she had made it many times, For 2 reasons , she loved making this dish and she was perfecting it to be put forward into a Cooking competition.
Michael’s mum loved cooking , when she wasn’t busy at work, or doing the housework , she

would often read cooking books, watch the cooking channel and practice her skills.
The 3 of them were always saying to her that she would be a world class chef,
piles of people would line up for her food and she would be famous.
But for her being a mom was its own reward she didn’t want fame or money .
No as long as people enjoyed her food then that always put a smile on her face and warmed her heart.
The 3 of them wolfed down the food like there was no tomorrow  and couldn’t stop  thanking her  for the best food in the world.
