Kate Lawler : tragedy of the murdered sisters on my block

After a quick shower and a full English I didn't feel too bad and flew back to Birmingham, arriving just in time to see some really cool bands and do my bit.

After that a load of us from Kerrang! went to The Rainbow beach party in Birmingham which was really good fun, although i ended up drinking too much.

The next thing I knew, I woke up fully clothed, trainers and jacket on, phone in my hand, laying on top of my bed.

Time check - 3:30am. Head check - ouch.... hangover pending.

Tuesday September 16th

The last two days haven't been that pleasant due to a horrible incident that happened in the building where I live in Birmingham.

Two girls were found murdered in the flat two floors above mine.

It's tragic. They were sisters, I can't imagine what their parents must be going through - I have two sisters.

I'm on my way down to London for a couple of days to get away from it all.

Wednesday September 17th

Ouch... my head hurts. I roll over and stare at an almost empty bottle of vodka sitting four inches away from my face on my bedside table.

Why!? Why do I always have to drink one too many?

I never drink during the week. I like to save it for the weekends but I had a date last night and I was really nervous. I had a really good time, though.

Athough I was drunk and completely passed out when I got home, it looks like I'll be seeing him again :-)

Oh sh*t, just realised the time I'm supposed to be at the Bauer Radio Awards in Central London. One hour from now.

I've never got ready so quickly in all my life! Shower, make-up, hair? Scraped back, pretending to go for the messy look when really my hair is just... messy.

Taxi - Train - Taxi again and I make it just in time for the awards which begin at midday. Everyone from Kerrang! Radio is there, looking very
glamorous.

As the day went by, I watched them all drink more and more wine and around 7:45pm we all boarded a train back to Birmingham! The noisiest and funniest train journey I've had in a while.

Went to see Scars on Broadway at the Academy later that evening. Wow! Amazing band. I love them!

Sunday September 21st

I'm absolutely shattered. Wake up Saturday morning at 2:30am, drive two hours to Heathrow.

Arrive at 4am, board a flight to Copenhagen at 6am, land and wait for rwo hours for a flight to Lithuania. Finally get to Lithuania at 2pm Saturday.

The promoters of the club I'm djing at tonight pick me up and take me for a huge slap-up meal. Yummy! I had three courses and then slept in my
hotel for four hours. My DJ set was at 1am and we left the club at 10am.

I have two hours sleep then a three-hour drive to another airport where I fly to Stockholm. then back to London Heathrow. Finally the
drive home which I somehow managed to do without falling asleep.

Longest journey ever! Completely worth it though. Global Club in Lithuania rocked - I can't wait to go back and DJ there.

Tuesday September 23rd

Had lots of friends round this evening. My friend cooked home-made burgers and we ate lots of chocolate cake for my friend Sarah's birthday while watching repeats of America's Next Top Model - the new season has started and it's got me hooked already!

Love that programme!

We also watched 'The Family' on channel 4 - hilarious.

OK, it's 1am, I've just finished tidying up the flat.

Best get an early night - I'm viewing a flat tomorrow, where I've decided to move in with my friend.

EXCITING!

See you in 2 weeks!
