Hi my name is Jack. And I'm a cancer survivor.
It all started 4 years ago when I was on holiday in America! I had been I'll the last month or so and had not been right for at least 4/5 months. It got to the point where I was so ill I couldn't physically walk.
A trip to the doctors and some test later is when we found out; I had A.L.L Leukaemia. On the day I can remember my dad crying and telling him it was going to be ok. I didn't feel bad or frightened. In fact I didn't really feel anything.
Treatment was very hard. Mentally and physically. To make things worse me and my dad are VERY squeamish. I lost contact with all my friends from school the first intensive year of treatment. I can't remember why I just don't think it was on my mind at the time.
Treatment lasted 3 and a half years and ended last July. I am still feeling the effects but am gradually getting stronger.
I am running a race to help Leukaemia and Lymphoma research this October.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONATE!!

Not your conventional Twitter
I have just created a new twitter account. However, it's not your average profile to say the least. It is based on blogging and doesn't give away my identity. Why do this? Well by not putting your real name it opens up a whole world of things you can't/wouldn't write if you name was shown. You can tell all the gossip you want, tell everybody your deepest secrets, tell people about your crushes, who you like, don't like or even your very personal life- you know what I mean ;-)
I have only just created it today so will wait a couple of weeks until I start the tweets.
Hopefully it will be extremely interesting for people to read and I'm hoping people will interact with me and ask about my life.
So give me a follow @Ivor_Montagu (I used this fake name which is nothing like my own so people wouldn't have any clue who I am)

Bro's before ***?
I go to college and have some great friends on my course. I'm lucky to have that. At the start of the year it was about 12 boys and one girl. Everything was fine then because the girl was a lot older than most of us boys. Now we're down to about 8 of us and 2 of them are girls thanks to some people switching courses and a new girl arriving.
Everyone was looking forward to the new girl starting (some for better reasons than others). I didn't really think about that because I've never really had a long term relationship. So the day comes when she arrives. "Wow she's hot" says Chris, one of my college friends. "Dibs" I say jokingly-I never really have confidence when it comes to pretty girls- so I didn't mean it. The day goes by and everyone does the awkward introductions and asks her general questions to get her involved. She seems really nice.
About a month passes and she's reasonably settled in. I'm still not think about anything with her except making her a part of the group as I know it can be hard to come in late to something new. I try to be a gentleman. Now my friend Ben has a little "get in their" nudge as we get on quite well.
However it's not until recently that I have even thought about trying anything with her (it's been 3 months since she's joined). But I think she likes Ben more than me. They both live quite close to each other and get the same bus. He is also probably funnier than me. I sometimes get awkward around girls and don't feel she's completely comfortable around everyone yet. But it seems she likes me and Ben the most.
You can probably guess where this is going, right? She's a pretty girl and she's single. We're both teenagers and she's the only girl in the group apart from the older girl. I think we are both trying to get her to like us the most however neither of us will admit it. It's causing tension in the group. I don't like it but I really like her.
What do I do?

Never felt this way before
I have developed a celebrity crush- more like an obsession actually- with tennis player Laura Robson. She is literally the definition of perfect. Although I know I will probably never even meet her, I have still had feelings for her for a couple of years! I've never felt this way about anyone before. I can't stop thinking about her, I check her Twitter page at least twice a day and look at her instagram before going to bed. (Not in that way guys!) I just love seeing her smile. My favourite being the video of the waterfalls where she smiles at the end. It blows me away every time I see it. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
I'm in love with her.
Laura- if you ever read this I just want you to know if you are ever lonely or unhappy there is ALWAYS someone thinking about you. Win or lose you will never let me down. Cookiemonster11

Last day of the championship!
End of season, its all about relegation and promotion. It's the one time where I usually forget about my team (Ipswich) and switch to Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday on TV.
You get a funny felling when you wake up; The beginning of the end. You know that later in the day you will be full of nerves and emotions. Even though my club where safe in mid-table.
The first battle was between Hull and Watford fighting for an automatic place in the Premier League. Hull started as favourites but it was so close that just one goal could change everything.
One of my nurses comes from Hull and supports both Hull and Ipswich. She has been trying to support Hull and I have to admit I do look for their results but nothing really more than that! So obviously I wanted Hull to be promoted!
It was a nervous wait after the Watford goalkeeping saga! But in the end Hull were promoted and there were some incredible scenes at the KC!
There was another tight battle between Leicester, Nottingham Forest and Bolton to who got the last play-off spot! I fancied either Bolton or Leicester to get it but it really could have been anyone! Incredibly Leicester play Forest on that final day and Leicester ended up winning with Bolton not getting a good enough result so the foxes snatched the last spot!
Now to the most dramatic battle. This is what football is all about. Sadly Wolves were relegated only a season after being relegated from the Prem! So it was down to Peterborough, Barnsley, Millwall, Huddersfield, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn to fight it out! It was nail bitting to say the least! The last minute of the game and Wednesday and Blackburn were safe. Peterborough looked safe and it looked like Barnsley would be going down. 5 minutes later and Peterborough lost their lead to Palace and were now in the relegation spot!! After fighting hard they just couldn't hold on and were relegated.
WHAT AN END TO THE SEASON!
