Thursday I had work and then went to curry night at Spoons with my friend, we also ended up in Bowplex playing pool and was slightly tipsy.
Friday my car went back on the road friday night I went to Spoons with my school friends as they were hom from Uni... apparently, I was legless, I really don't remember alot.
I wonder if there is some sort of Spoons anonymous you could attend? :hmm:

;707226'] I also keep seeing things out of the corner of my eye, but there's nothing there.. I'm getting freaked out haha. I do that all the time I wouldn't worry about it. :p
ive had a brilliant day, gt my exam results and i got 67 on my law and religion exam and 55 on the essay and i gt 70 in the commercial exam and 67 in the essay. I cant believe it! i never done that well before.
Got a whole book on the concept of law to read for tomorrow and its thicker than i remember so should get cracking. I cant stop smiling. Hopefully if i can read the majority i will treat myself wth a dvd!

Well done Katy! :) I bet you are so chuffed! :)
I went up to dancing last night, it was so lovely to see everyone again. I really miss it, but I can't wait to go and see the show in March :)
Hmmm, well it's day 3 and the headache still hasn't cleared. I've taken paracetomol but only helps for a bit and then it comes back. I thought that sleep would help get rid of it, but it's really not and within 5 minutes of waking up it comes back again, I keep getting a sharp shooting pain over my right eye too. My head feels really heavy and I keep feeling dizzy. Hm, I'll just keep drugging myself up on paracetomol haha
Pancake dayy!!! :D I'm making the most of today by scoffing my face with pancakes because tomorrow is lent and I'm determined to give up crisps and chocolate... this should be fun haha
Make sure you get enough water, Kirstey, dehydration can cause a headache, so drink up :) Hope that the headache goes away soon. Enjoy your pancakes, I am thinking of having some too, blow the carbs haha :p

All of a sudden I have this huge pain in my back. When I move or lift something (even something as small as a cup) lol. Thinking maybe I have pulled a muscle. Though it occured while watching Holby City.. so sitting down is dangerous :eek:.
I was thinking the same as Lea, maybe you need an eyetest, i used to get headaches alot when my eyes had changed and was straining them t see things.
That sounds painful, does sound like pulling a muscle, hope its better soon.
Im going to start on my mountain of work today, and maybe tidy up, i keep getting distracted with the soaps!
What a joke CD WOW is .. I ordered books in January.. 10 days time, no sign of them (even when they said it was dispatched).. wrote to them asking what happened and they send a mail back saying they have faith in the delivery service and if I haven't got them in 21 days then contact them again.. This morning got mail from them.. was happy, until I read it.. they said the books were returned to them and can I contact them to give the reason for the return.. I NEVER got them.. how can you return something you didn't get.. what a joke!! I am really mad at them.. this is the 3rd time I used them and this is the 3rd time they messed up.. I should have known after the 1st time where is took 6 months to get a DVD..

I haven't long had an eyetest and I have my glasses which I wear, but maybe I should wear them a bit more even though the optician said it wasn't crucial that I wear them, but would help. I'm also regular so I don't think it's that either. Day 4, I think this headache loves me lol.
Maybe you should go back to the optitian and just check that the glasses are indeed still suitable for your needs, i.e. did you mention that you are using a computer/laptop a lot? I am sure you did though :)

I've heard nothing but bad news about them from a lot of people. They don't seem to rate customer service high enough on their priorities.

I swear you are becoming obsessed with me :D First you said you loved me in the Home and Away thread.. now you are saying my name when it was Kath who suggested the eye thing :lol:. Thanks though Katy. Love you too :D.

Im losing the plot i swear! Maybe i should be the one getting an eyetest! :)
Blame a law degree, its definitley bad for my health, not been getting much sleep due to the amount of work that needs ploughing through.

Been to the doctors this morning and explained, he checked me over but said there was no infection or anything that was alarming to him, but he did say that 5 days is a bit long for a headache.. so he gave me co-codamol. I'll give them a try onw and he said if I don't feel better after a few days then I should go back. Hmm
Hope your headache finally goes away now, Kirsty. I think viruses can cause headaches sometimes, because both myself and my mum suffered a continuous headache for a few days a while back. Hopefully, that's what yours is. Just remember to drink plenty of fluids, because as someone said above, dehydration can cause headaches too.
Hope the stuff works Kirsty, must be awful having headache that long.
Ive decided to go hme tonight, got bored and tired in bangor, fancy some city life for the weekend, alot of my mates are have had all week off so i am getting a bit lonely!!! and wrks not happening so i thought why not, it isnt that expensive either,

Ouchhh hope you're feeling better soon Kirsty! Doesn't sound like you're having much fun with that :(
Just come back from the cinema from seeing 'Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World' - absolutely fabbbbbbbulous. MAde me even more excited for Vegas next year. Roll on payday then we can buy tickets! haa. In a proper singy mood right now but seen as it's bed time i think it'll have to wait till tomorrow lmao. I'll have a rave whilst doing my Hannah Waterman dvd (: speaking of which, does anyone on here have any reviews of the workout? ie have you tried it and does it really work? ive only done it twice this week so obviously nothing i'm gonna see changing so quickly! Just wondered (:
night all (;

Thanks guys, you've all been really supportive. I know all I've done is continuously moan but I'm just beginning to panic a little bit :/ but it's probably nothing and hopefully these tablets will help relieve te pain though I'm having no luck so far... but these things do take time :)
I was asked if I wanted to do a shift at the Brantano store in Cardiff tomorrow, just to help them out with cleaning and that, I said yes.. I need any hours I can get and will be getting a whole 8 hours more pay :) Also, it would be good experience for me to see how the stores operate and will alos show my loyalty to our store so they know if they need cover at anytime then I am available and wiling :)...hopefully.

19-02-2010, 12:14
Oo that's good :D I love getting extra hours at work (even though i've only had the job three weeks lmao) but that's even better at a different store cos like you said they'll probably call you p if they need you again :D im so jealous you work in a shoe store btw!
I've decided to come home for a while. I'm too ill to look after myself and I've had enough of the stress. Hopefully a week or so at home will be enough to get back to normal. I've got plenty of DVDs and books and I've just seen an advert for season 2 of The Mentalist :D Its going to be a lazy few days.
Aww Abigail, I am so sorry that you are so ill that you went home :( Hope you are better real soon xxx :) The killer reveal later will make you feel better, surely lol

I've got the cold :( Yesterday there was a fault with the heating at work and the place was baltic. Last night I started sniffing and feeling rabbit. Went to work today but just felt rubbish. My nose is running, my eyes are watering and I've headache. On the plus side I've ruined any chance of promotion at work due to heckling the Principal. This week there has been a couple of staff developement days at work due to the mid term holidays for students. There has been a number of presentations given by the principal and the board of management on the future of funding in FE, which was mandatory to attend. Any way after the presentation it was asked if anyone had any any questions and yours truley put her hands up about four times asking questions I don't think the board wanted to answer. Watch this space I'll let you know when I get my P45
Things are really good for me at the moment, me and this guy sort of have a thing going on, I dont really know what to call it, but its going well :D :p
Hope everything continues to go well for you, whatever you might wish to call it :p :)
Thanks :) we have pretty much been texting each other everyday, he only lives next door
aww, glad to here its going well Abbiie
I had been at hom e all weekend, it was really nice, went to the cinema and saw valentines day which was really good, and spent time with my friends and family. So it was all good. ALs the death anniversary of my granny last friday s we went and met some family at the cemetary and had a meal. So that was nice, cant believe it has been 10 years though.
Back at uni today and everyones talking about a parent who sent a letter into the Times newspaper complaining about one of our lectures who happens to be chinese, yes the guy has a strong accent but s do many of us and i feel that going t the paper telling the entire country about the problem is not the right way to go about somthing. There are procedures for these things put in place for a reason and my worry is if people read this is it going to effect my chances of getting a job. Maybe thats just me being paranoid!!!
ANyway, Rant over!!!
I have today's Times, I'll have a look on the letters page.
To be honest, a lecturer who's english isn't perfect is not really a huge drama. If students feel they can't understand him to the point where its having a detrimental effect, they should contact the university and union. I can't see what purpose going to the press will serve in this case. There are times when some things do need to be blown open but you always reserve that path for when all else fails.
I wouldn't worry about it having an effect on you getting a job; its only one letter from a parent and as long as you get a good degree, you should be fine.
I need to find some ways to switch off. Even when I'm asleep I'm dreaming about stuff.
Soapboards is awfully quiet at the moment :(
Soapboards is awfully quiet at the moment :(
Not much has gotten us excited since the live EE episode.. we need another juicy story
There was a big flurry of activity after the live episode.
We need some games to liven things up.
I keep on forgetting to come on. Not been feeling myself again lately and that. But i think i'm back for good now hopefully :D!
We had snow in dunfermline today and it's caused my driving instructor to rearrange my driving lesson cause the road's are bad. I hate snow with a passion and it's meant to be really bad towards the weekend not good cause I have a packed weekend :)!
Think that's all to be honest :P I will start using this thread daily :P.
Welcome back, Tannie. I hope you have a good weekend, snow permitting :)
It does seem like a lot of the regulars have dropped out of sight since I joined, which was only a couple of months ago. Come back everyone!
I don't really use this thread 'cos I never have anything interesting to say about my day, but I enjoy reading about y'all :D
Thanks Dazzle :D!
I think this is one of the only thread's i use at the moment haha! I'm on the munch and all so far had two cheese rolls and i've just put a pizza in the oven :lol:
Yum yum :thumbsup: You're making me hungry now!
Yum yum :thumbsup: You're making me hungry now!
I am getting hungry too!! Today has been quiet slow in general.. Getting new glasses this weekend.. looking forward to that.
Lol i've been known for not eating as much since November so i think everyone's just happy i'm eating at last :D

I hate people thinking you should be eating all the time, if you are not hungry you can't force yourself to eat. I have been on a diet since July and my mum is always at me to eat more and more but I can't.
I'm very pleased to hear you're eating at last :cheer:

Well said Siobhan I agree with that completley, I hate people trying to force me to eat, it's like i'm not hungry which mean's i ain't going to eat!

As long as you are not starving yourself on purpose then it is fine. I don't force my kids to eat all their meals, no point if they are full.
I agree you shouldn't eat if you're not hungry, Tannie, but you can't blame people for worrying if a young girl isn't eating. I've had experience of eating disorders and I know how they wreck lives. That being said, it must be annoying if people assume things just 'cos you're not hungry :eek:
Enjoy your pizza :D
I'm not starving myself on purpose. I've had experience of eating disorders iswell Dazzle. The Pizza's yummy :D!
It is annoying cause they seem to think i'm on a diet or something but i'm not.
You might find you're extra hungry for a while to make up for it. That's how these things generally work, I've found.
Yeah I go through days where I don't want to eat anything and some days I just can't stop.. your body will tell you what you need..
Yeah :D! Ate half of my pizza and gave it to my brother and now i'm tempted to go have a rocky road. Hmmm...
I really want to go for a Nap and all but i know if i fall asleep just now even for an hour i won't be able to sleep tonight :crying:
Good luck on resisting sleeping - I'm terrible at that and I stay awake all night afterwards too :(
Thanks i need good luck. I wish i had college work to do i am that bored!
I haven't been on here in ages :eek: Banning myself from coming on here because of lack of revision for January exams ended up going a bit far. Shouldn't have bothered, I have a funny feeling they'll be my worst set yet anyway.
I need to get a new mouse, it keeps freezing and the computer has to be restarted after what seems like every two minutes.
Got all 5 uni offers so now to decide which to accept.
Tannie you can have some of my work if you like, I have what seems like a lifetime supply :lol:
Hey Kim, its been a long time :) How are you? Are your parents feeling better after their ops?
My dad's doing a lot more than he used to, he used to just sleep a lot of the time and didn't realise it was down to kidney failure. He's come right down on the anti rejection drugs but they're worried he could end up with diabetes which is a side effect in some patients. My mum's ok in herself but she still hasn't healed as she should, she has an appointment with the specialist soon.
I hope that they continue on their way to recovery, Kim :)

Oh Kimmey your back from outer cyberspace :D we were so worried about you and your parents. Glad to hear they're on the mend and you are well. Happy belated 18th by the way. xxx
Kim, welcome back, been a long time. Sure you will have done great in your exams,
I have a mountain of work to get through and not enough time, i feel like i have moved into the library, also want to apologise a lot of my posts look like im text typing which is not intentional its just i have to proper stab the O really hard as otherwise it wont register and i have been typing quickly and therefore some are missing out, so sorry if its annying! i know its annoying me, and its making my 2500 essays quite interesting to say the least i have to prper proof them when there done, stupid keyboard.
Very boring life this past week, just work and generally feeling sorry for myself, really want to finish my degree now, and the work loads really getting me dwn.
Everyones still talking about the article from the SUnday Times, most interestingly with sypathy for the lecturer, i can agree that the man is hard to understand but you can get what he means, he even has handuts and power point, everyone has an accent, s its n different from another lecturer who has a strong welsh accent.
omg welcome back Kim :D we all wondered where you were and how you were! we were getting very worried.
Glad everything is ok
Kirsty :]
27-02-2010, 18:18
Welcome back Kim! It's good to have you back! We were all worried and missing you... now I expect some more posts off you in the "funny quotes" thread okay? It gave me a giggle! :)
Glad you're doing well :)
Hm, what a night, think my past came back to haunt me last night. Grr.
There's suspicions in College that we have a thief among us. Last Wednesday, a friend in my class got home to discover £100 missing from her purse (she ahd to put money in the bank but it wans;t open, hence having that much money on her). This Wednesday, I discovered that a £5 note had gone out of my purse, I don't want to accuse because it could easily have been me being clumbsy and randomly lost it, but I kept my eye on it all day, I never keep an eye on my money but I did that day... also, we have Restaurant on a Wednesday night so everyone has so much to be carrying around and keeping their eye on, just seems coincidental, but I won't accuse until something else happens again because it's not nice to think your classmates can't be trusted, and it's not nice to single people out.
I went to an education conference yesterday at King's College in London. It wasn't the best conference and I got fed up of everyone clapping like seals whenever someone said "we're prepared to strike" but the company was fun. We spent half an hour trying to figure out how to get from Euston station to the Strand. We was going to take the tube, then the bus, then the tube, taxi, tube and finally got the bus. None of us had any idea where we were going but it was funny walking round the station looking like tourists. Needless to say, we arrived an hour late and walked back to the car.
Today I have 600 words to write on a group report. Shouldn't take too long and its another thing off my list.
I am never drinking again; It's now just cause of the whole hangover thing but i cried my heart out last night round my mate's boyfriend. Cause I miss Steph so much and I just want to hear her voice again </3 :crying:
I'm sending you a hug, Tannie. I hope you're feeling a little better now.
Thank you. Yeah the hangovers finally leaving thank lord cause I'm going out for a meal tonight. I just need to come to grips about steph, really but i don't want to face facts that she's not coming back.
It's so hard to lose someone you love. I haven't got any wise words 'cause I still don't know how to deal with losing my father, even though it happened many years ago, in tragic circumstances. I think you just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and keep talking to those close to you.
Yeah I do but I'm never one to let my feelings known. Although I'm a really emotional person. I can't seem to get my emotions out properly :(
I hear you. I'm exactly the same.
It sucks anyway i'm away to go get ready; heading out for my mates 18th meal, I shall be back later i think :)
Tannie, don't know if it is going to work, but talk to Steph, when you are on your own. Look at her photograph and tell her how you feel. It helped me a lot after my dad died, and I was struggling for several years. One night I got the album out, put my hand on his photo and talked like he was there. Eventually went to sleep and woke up feeling different in a positive way. Still miss him, but managed to let go, I guess. xxx
Writing a letter to my father has helped me, which is similar to what Perdita suggested.
I've wrote a latter to Steph and think I'm going to write another one when i get home if ihave enough time.

I went to Glasgow on Saturday spent the whole day wondering the Braehead Shopping centre. When Marley was at school camp in November there was another school there and she has kept in touch with some of the other kids. They live near the Braehead Centre and often go there. Marley asked me to take her through so she could spend the day with them. She went to the cinema, bowling and gaming and I got lost in Primark. Yesterday spent the day doing housework.
Oh Kimmey your back from outer cyberspace :D we were so worried about you and your parents. Glad to hear they're on the mend and you are well. Happy belated 18th by the way. xxx
Thanks Kath. It wasn't that great to be honest, I had an exam to revise for the next day and school was snowed off so I didn't even get to see my friends. I had two cakes though, which my parents clearly thought were nice too as they were having sneaky slices of them when I was at school :lol:
I have so much homework to do I don't know which piece to do first. I don't feel that well either. Felt sick when I got to school as well as someone threw up on the bus. We weren't even half way there when it happened and it stank!
Score! Just got a whole tray of Strawberry bio yogurts from Miller reps.. came into the building and gave a load away free!
I've had a busy day. My life is so hectic at the moment, I don't even know what day it is. This morning I had a lecture, then continued working on the new constitution, followed by two disciplinaries which I sat on, accepting nomination forms for the elections in a few weeks and finally a meeting at 6pm.
I'm doing as much as I can at the moment; I'm not looking forward to the inevitable change in the union's direction next year. It will certainly be a shock, whoever wins the elections. It's certainly going to be an interesting few weeks :D
Tomorrow I have two lectures and I'm also delivering candidate training in the evening. I'm trying to think of ways to get my new slogan - stop complaining, start campaigning - into the training in a non-confrontational way.
Half a bottle of red Kumala, the night is good, even if I'm not going out.

You know I am here for you whenever Tannie. Well I hope you do. You can PM me :) xxx
I am not a very happy bunny! To make this story shorter one of my mates is taking one of my mates and her ex mate to court and i've just recieved a text from the mate being taken to court and she know's that i won't allow her bad mouthing my mate in front of me. It is a stupid reason but Aimee's my best mate and i don't want to get involved. Let's just say the text message had a lot of ******* in it. I am ready to explode I just want to curl up and cry. It's like I'm not allowed to have a life nowadays or my own problems. I need to be there to fix Amy's, don't think so somehow! Arghhhhh.
Rant over. That may confuse you and there is two Amy/Aimee :P but yeah sick and tired of it.:crying:
I hope the rant helped, Tannie. Sorry to hear that you're having such a hard time of it at the moment. Can you be upfront with your friends and tell them you've got problems too?
Just read some bad news about one of my friend's, I really wish i could get in contact with her now. Heading to my gran's in a bit and her Neice's daughter is currently on a ventilator and we don't know how long she has to live. I hope if she has passed away that she's pased away peacefully in her sleep. I all of a sudden feel like I've just found out Steph's gone and I don't want to feel like this I need to be strong, but I have no will power to be strong :crying:
I am so sorry about the sad news, Tannie, here for you if you want to discuss anything. BIG HUG xxx
Why do you feel like you need to be strong, Tannie? It's ok to be griefstricken - it's normal. You don't need to feel bad about it.
Chloe O'brien

Tannie I'm sorry to hear your having such a sh1t time of it lately. You have had so much to deal with over the last few months no wonder your in bits. I know it's an old cliche but you need to give yourself time to grieve for Steff and Alison. There is no manual or rule written that it should only take x amount of time to grieve for someone. As for your firends who have the court issues. If you weren't a witness to the problem don't get involved. If either parties want to rant to you. Take it with a pinch of salt don't repeat what they have said. Let them argue amongst themselves because if you get tangled up with the he-said-she-said fiasco you will be made out as the bad one. Let them get on with it. Think of yourself for once and remember you have hundred's of friends on here who will lend an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. whenever you want it. Don't ever forget that.
I was right Joanne passed away on Tuesday, Least she's no longer in any pain. I know I need time to grieve but I just feel like I can't for some reason :crying:. Yeah I know Kath I've told them both that and Amy's finally decided she doesn't want to know me and to be honest I don't care cause I've got other thing's to worry about. I feel like all I do when I come on here is complain :( I'm sorry (and I know I'm going to be told there's no need to be sorry) But for some reason I can't rememeber a time when i posted something happy in here. I think I just need the world to stop and let me grieve and for me not to be questioned about it, or anything. That'll never happen either. Thanks for the advice guys :D Much appreciated.
god i havent posted in this thread for ages! had quite an eventful few weeks
went to doctors to try and get onto anti depressants but he really wouldnt let me so there was a big ho-hah about that, i got a second opinion and they said the same, so i ended up moving surgeries...nightmare!
uni and work are getting really stressful atm, its the last 6 weeks or so of my degree so it's all getting to me atm. i cant wait for the easter break so i can slow down a bit and finish off all my work. just got a mark back for a presentation i did 59/100 which im fuming about, i did everything that was asked and pulled off a good presentation, everyone in my class said it was good, yet we got a low mark compared to everyone else, when ours was as good as the rest. the pair that got 71 went over by 10 minutes from the amount of time we were allowed to do, how is that fair?
anyways ive got a date when I go home over easter, can't wait! meet him off Gaydar, which is like a gay dating website, it's usually really infamous for attracting the wrong sorts of people who are after one thing, but he's a really lovely person and we already get on really well. I think we both know that the dates going to go well and stuff, so hopefully i can come back soon with more exciting news about that! that alone has put a smile on my face and made all my other problems seem not so important anymore :)
Bryan, maybe you don't need anti-depressants, you are stressed out because of your degree and maybe that is why you did not get anything from the first surgery you went to. Perhaps there are other ways for you to feel different to the way you do.
Hopefully, the Easter break will provide you with the chill-out time you need.
Good luck with your date :D xx
Omg Bryan that's so unfair, I thought you could lose 10% of the marks or something by running over by 10 minutes.
I'm also fuming about my results as they're lower than predicted but everyone's getting angred by me being upset because they did worse than me. Some of them hardly picked up a book for the whole of the Christmas holidays or January so they're asking for it really, but I worked harder than I've ever worked in my life :crying: I'm now ONE stupid mark off of an A in Economics over the three units we've done so far. One of the teachers was supportive another was just putting even more of a downer on it :angry::angry:
So far today I've took 2 Panic Attacks, (My Pc Passport teacher just can't handle me), Couldn't concentrate thought i was going to faint, and My laptop won't charge so on my mum's laptop. I'm sitting here trying to grieve Steph properly and all I want to do now is cry my heart out but I don't. The good part is I get my phone back tomorrow :D! And think I'm having a girly night round my mate's house :D
Working at home today, have really bad cold.. My partner got bad news about a friend of his so had to fly out to Germany this weekend so have the kids to myself.. they have plans for me for mother's day.. not sure what they are but last year I got tea made from the hot tap and soggy crackers.. had to pretend it was a gormet meal :lol:
It's been a while since I've posted properly.
The last week has been really stressful. I can't go into details as the police are investigating but my family has been ripped apart. I'm shocked at the behaviour of some people but I've realised that there's nothing I can do about the situation.
Last weekend my mum organised a family meal and deliberately didn't invite me :angry: She made up excuses to my sisters as to why I wasn't there but she didn't even ask me.
I've applied for some work experience at a mortuary :D I'm hoping I get it. I've also maybe found a place to do a masters although it depends on if I pass my driving test and how much money I have when I finish my degree.
I've failed a module which means I'll be trailing credits next year. I haven't been to the lab sessions and there's no way I can pass it now.
This week we've got elections so we'll find out on Friday who our new officer team is for the next academic year. Its very tight this year and its going to be interesting.

I haven't been on here for a while, have had a hectic but good few weeks! :)
Made a few new friends so I've been out alot more, it's nice to just chill out sometimes though! :)
Gained an interest or 2.. but I don't feel the same, there is 1 guy at the moment though, he's lovely, and he says he finds me enticing, but he has a girlfriend, and I would never break up a happy relationship.
Never mind, I've focused on myself alot more recently and it's done me so much good, College is going okay again, my Maitre D' is in a few days so I'm sligtly stressed right now trying to get everything sorted.
My headaches still haven't dissapeared so I went to the doctors again and they stole my blood :( I'll get my results tomorrow though.
Apart from that not much to report, apart from EMA being absolute silly billys as usual lol. Hope everyone is good! It seems so quiet around here lately! xxx

Stole your blood :rotfl:. Let us know if everything is okay with your headaches Kirst!! Hope you get better soon!!
I've actually enjoyed past few days :) I am so glad I am back at work. I have missed working so much!
I am pleased for you, Lea, hope you continue to enjoy the job :)
I have had a migraine type headache since Sunday night and hope to get an appointment with the doctor today, the painkillers he gave a few weeks ago when I had a week with permanent headache are not doing anything. :( Maybe he will steel some of my blood too :eek: :p
well done on the job, glad you are enjoying it,
I have work experience in a solicitors next week, im really looking for ward to it.

Ah I am so pathetic. I am getting annoyed that Ant is chatting pallyish to my friend. They have met once, and they talk on facebook more than I talk to him in the week.. ending it with "x" aswell. And like he asked her something about something she and I both watches, but never bothered asking me if I watched it..
I wouldn't mind if it was one of my mates he has met loads.. but they have met ONCE.
I duno why I am annoyed. I just am paranoid that he's gonna be in to her instead of me..
I still don't love him mind :s
I would talk to him about that if I was in the same situation, Lea, otherwise this will always be between you imo. :)
I have the cold or what feels like the cold :crying: But it's all good cause I went to see Paloma Faith down in Birmingham on Wednesday and it was amazing :D!I nearly touched her hand :D Train journey down and up wasn't to bad. But by the time I got into Glasgow Central last night I just wanted to go to my bed. Although there was another two train journeys ahead of me haha :lol:. It seem's really quiet on here nowadays. Anyway hope we're all good :D! xx
Sorry that you are feeling under the weather again, Tannie but pleased you had a good time at the concert. :)
I would talk to him as well Lea, just to get it off your chest.
Im busy with the shows, three more left, and i also have an essay due monday so very very busy. My parents have gone away today as well, so i have the house t myself, if my little sister decides to throw a party i will kill her! she keeps mentioning the after show party tomorrow night but there is not a chance, i have been to a few and they get messy.

Right laugh today in Glasgow Met some old friends from school on the train home. They had been at the Celtic and Kilmarnock game. Anyway they had booze and you know me I'm not one to refuse a little vodka. There is four stops between Glasgow/edinburgh and Marley asked which one was ours. I said Waverly. Patrick one of my mates said Marley your getting of at Waverly me and your mum are getting of at Croy (near Glasgow). Marley asked what's at Croy? He said a playpark and an off-licences. Some people never grow up :lol:
A whole two weeks since I posted in this thread :eek: I've been so busy lately.
The past few days I've been writing assignments. I've got two done, just another one to go tomorrow. Then its on to revision :( Good news is I finish in less than four weeks and I only have one exam at the beginning of May. I was planning on going home on Friday but I feel depressed enough after two days of not speaking to anyone so I might go Tuesday or Wednesday. Two of my friends have gone to Palestine (I couldn't afford it) and everyone else has either moved into the library or gone home so there's nobody around.
I need something new to watch on DVD. I can't afford season 7 of 24 yet but I'm so bored. Megavideo is useless on proxies too.
Just come out of hospital, was admitted after suffering from bad headaches for 10 days. Loads of tests later, I am sure I am anaemic (sp) now after all the blood they have taken and a lumbar puncture and CT scan :(
Can't find nothing wrong but headache persists. Good news is I am able to fly to Spain tomorrow for a much needed break :cheer:
hope you are feeling better. Good news that you can fly to spain.
I finished my work experience today, i am really tired, was great to do it though, i am really pleased i did it. Was really good to see what it was like in an actual solicitors. Going t really enjoy my bank holiday, think i am helping my dad in his work next week.

Sorry to hear you have been poorly Perdy. Enjoy your holiday. wish I was going somewhere nice and hot weather is to be rotten up here over the weekend.
My sister is in labour :D I'm so excited.
I have a nephew :D He was born about an hour ago, no name or weight yet.

Aww thats so cute! :D
Had a good couple of days. Vodka rev yesterday night, Nandoes tonight. :) Also yesterday queued up for discount Dc Martens for 2 hours but well worth it!
His unconfirmed name is Charlie James (which has upset my other sister) and he weighed almost 9lb. So much for him being a small baby like the midwife said!!!

Aw congratulations Auntie Abigail. What a lovely weight. I was told from about 5 months into my prenancy that my baby would be small and she weighed in at 8lbs. Anyway well done to your sister and big kisses to little Charlie. My niece had another scan last week she's having a girl. Skye her name will be and the little cherub is due on Great Aunt Kathleen's birthday you know. On a serious note will you be able to make it back from Nigeria to see the little lad before he goes to university :eek:
aww, congratulations to your sister Abigail.
I have had a lazy day, tomorrow i am sailing though for the easter race, i cant really be bothered but one of the men needed a crew so its only an afternoon. Just listened to the City match, match of the day is going to be good tonight!!!

I'm going to get my photo taken tomorrow. My nephew phoned today wants to take some family potraits at his studio. Better comb my hair :lol:
Enjoy your photos, we had some done a few years back, we all look so different on them now.
Im going sailing in a bit, for the annual easter sunday races, should be good, but the weathers looking a bit suspect, been a long time since i have been in a boat.
I am sure everyone heard of the recent events of the 15 year old boy who was stabbed to death on Good Friday by 23 and 38 year old in Tyrellstown Dublin.. that is where I live. it is 5 mins from my house. This was a racial attack. The men in question didn't like the fact that a black boy was with white girls and went home, got a kitchen knife and stabbed him.. In the area I live there are many many different races.. For example Charley (my daughter) 3 best friends are a polish girl, a black boy and an asian girl. I think it is an absolute disgrace that this happen. One of the men are not from this area and it is just hatred from him. Kids in our area all hang around together regardless of colour, religion, culture etc... This was shown in a memorial today of over 300 people who walked around the streets of Tyrellstown.. All mixed creed.. We are just shown everyone that although this was a racist attack, it hasn't stopped the people here from living and working together... thats the way it will always be here.
Sorry to hear the attack was close to your home, Siobhan. It's brilliant that the community are pulling together to show that racism won't be tolerated.
Sorry to hear too that you've been so unwell, Perdita, and that you had to have all those tests done. Hope you're feeling better now and that you enjoy your time in Spain.
Abigail - congratulations to you and your family on the birth of your nephew.
My head feels like its about to explode and I want to cry. My extended family is falling apart, mum refuses to talk about it and I'm waiting for the police to talk to me.
My mum told me my sister was resting after giving birth and I would be told when I could visit so I didn't ring, now she tells me she's feeling isolated and I should get in touch. She gave birth on Friday night, it's been less than 48hrs since I found out the baby had been born (wasn't told she was in labour until 12hours after she was taken into hospital). I'm being made to feel guilty because I haven't got any money for a train ticket home until next week. I haven't got any money because my mum owes me £400!
There's so much more than I want to rant about, mainly about my mother, but I can't. There's a police investigation going on and everybody is walking on eggshells trying not to say the wrong thing.
I'm going to watch some more 24 (season 7).
It is great that the community is pulling together, it is so sad thouh that these attacks are still happening, he was just a kid, the garda have got the people who did it fairly quickly so thats a good thing. I hate hearing about things like this.
Sorry to hear about your family troubles Abigail, i hope you feel better soon.
My sailing turned into a swin yesterday, horrible capsize round the last mark frm a horrible gust! bust my ribs again as well must have fell on something on the way down! they are killing me now. The water was freezong as well, s im hoping i have avoided a cold.
Hi guys!
I havent been on here properly for ages! I actually cant remember when I last was! I dont think Ive done that
Anyway cos Ive been away for so long it would take me too long to type up everything thats been happening with me.
To sum it up, Ive been pretty busy at Uni, Ive had more work the past term and Ive been going out a lot more :p
I also have a boyfriend :) and Ive only just finished for easter, well I did on thursday but I had no lectures last week cos I was lucky with my timetable but I had 2 tests and an essay to do
Turns out I finished my exam 26th May :)

Shiv so sorry to hear of the tragic events in Dublin. Its so sad that an innocent life has to be taken because of some people's small mindless. Abaigail I' m sure your sister won't mind that you haven't got a gift yet She'll be overjoyed to hear your voice, give her a call and get all the fab news about the new arrival. Is this a litle brother for Maisie or is it your other sister. I hope everything in your family is sorted out soon.
Went to the photoshoot yesterday it was mad and had loads taken. As soon as I get a copy of them. I will send some to be posted on here.
Congrats, Abigail,on being an aunt again, sorry about your family problems. Shame about the attack in Dublin, Siobhan, I don´t understand why some people can´t let others live their lives how they want and with whom they want. We are supposed to live in a free society :(
I am enjoying my last couple of days in Spain, still not feeling well but I think it is stress that is causing the headaches, not a medical condition. I am emotionally all over the place at the moment.
Ain't been on here in ages. Been lurking about the boards but also been trying to decide what to do after college and what not. Not really been up to much though. Got my hospital appointment for next wednesday and octors for next thursday. Just been trying to keep track of money but it just isn;t working :(
Congrats Abigail on becoming a auntie, really sorry about the family problems.
Perdita it could be the cause of stress for your headaches I know the feeling it ain't nice.

I haven't been on here in ages!!1 I hope everyone is doing good :) to all those having a hard time at the moment, things will get better, keep smiling :)
Had a good few weeks, had a huge falling out with a friend but I'm over it. My school friends are back from Uni and I'm finding it so diffuclt to juggle my time for them, my new friends that I've made while they've been away and for my family and myself, I'd quite like about 2 of me right now haha.
I got a tattoo the other day, I love it :) it wasn't rushed and I made sure it was what I definately wanted as it's with me for life :)
I cannot believe I'm 19 tomorrow too.. the past year has flown by!
Got some sort of cold/cough though, I feel like absolute rubbish but oh wellll, just man up and get on with it I am :)
Back to College today! NOT looking forward to it haha
Happy Birthday for tommorrow, Kirsty. :D

Im having yet another manic rush to try and get an essay in, the wrkload these last few weeks is incredible!
Happy Birthday Kirsty.. hope you have a good one
Welcome back Perdy.. the boards were quiet without you
Happy Birthday Kirsty! :D

19-04-2010, 12:05
Gaaad i havent been here for ages even though i said i would! been so busy with work and college - hope everyone is okay? (:
supposed to be in college right now but i just cannot face it. im only missing my first lesson and im going for my next two in an hour or so but i just really dont want to be there. im currently searching uni websites to see what other quals i could get to get onto nursing and so far im thinking health and social care BTEC. i just absolutely hate A Levels, im sick of exams and revision and homework. its just, i dont know its just horrible. i absolutely loved it at the start but now i just hate it.
does anyone know if a BTEC in health and social care is any good? from experience etc? I NEED a course change, i did loads of revision for jan modules and didnt do well at all so i think its best if i find another option so that i dont just waste the next couple of years by having to re sit etcc.
sorry for the major downer rant :L just needed a place to get it out!!
anywaysss like i say hope you guys are all well ( ;xx
Hi Hollie, welcome back :) Thank you, I am good, hope you are too and that you find a suitable place for your BTEC, sorry I can't help you with that :(
I am actually ready to scream. Everything was completley fine in the house until i decide to get up and go down to see if my mum had maybe left me any food, cause at this moment in time i'm feeling pretty rubbish. To find out they've ate what was planned for dinner now I don't know what i'm doing for dinner and can't take any money out my bank to get anything :\ so shall be searching the cupboards in a bit.
I haven't been around much lately, very busy with uni assessments. Yesterday I had mock job interviews which went ok. This morning I had a court appearance and this afternoon I have a three hour crime scene practical. On top of that I have an assignment to write for Thursday which I haven't started researching yet :wall: I'm also trying to finish a lab report with only half the information I need because the other half is unavailable.
I finish on Friday though then I've got one exam and I'm done for the year :eek: This time next year I'll nearly be graduating.

20-04-2010, 15:58
thanks perdita (:
Im soooooo happy now! Found out that the other college in the area offers a Nursing Cadet Scheme, basically its like an apprenticeship but its not the same lol. 3 days in college then the rest on different hospital placements. gna carry on my a levels for this year then apply for that. It'll give me the equivalent to three A Levels at the end and allow me to still go to uni to do what i ultimately want to do with is Paediatric nursing. Im soooooo soo happy its unreal :D
Congratulations Hollie :D
I am soo pleased for you, Hollie, well done :cheer: All the best for your future career :D
Congrats Hollie! glad ye have found what you want to do, its amazing what there is to offer yet you never find it till after you start A LEvels and stuff like that as its what everyne thinks you have to do, only go the traditional route. Really pleased for you.
I went out to an awards dinner last night, was really good, got a little drunk and now doing this assignment i feel like death, its such a pointless question. The sooner my grad comes the better! I cant wait.
Hollie-x
21-04-2010, 14:45
thankssss. yeah, i never even knew about this cadet scheme until i asked someone else about a health and social care course and she was like have you heard of cadets? so ive researched, emailed the college, theyve told me to apply as soon as possible because they give prorities to those before march 31st so im just keeping my fingers crossed! if not ill just do the health and social care course because theyve said that will get me where i want to go as well, so just fingers crossed now! :D
I will keep my fingers crossed for you too, good luck :)

Kirsty :]
22-04-2010, 09:32
I will too Lea, you know where we are anytime you need any kind of rant! :)
Not been on for a while again, thanks everyone for my birthday messages! I had a lovely day :)
We went out on the Friday after as a theme of fairytales and nursery rhymes, not as many people came out and dressed up as planned, so there were just the 5 girls, but we had SUCH a good night, was really fun! :)
After that, things seem to have gone on a downer I suppose. I'm falling way behind at College, which I don't want too because I actually enjoy the course, I just feel lost after having a week off from being ill, and now I'm even more behind. Grrr, never ending circle :/
Also, my confidence has taken a turn for the worse. I've made some new friends, and they're all lovely, but I don't know. I just don't feel like I fit in with them. Actually, there's 2 girls, me and my friend Stacey, the rest are boys which tbh, is so much better purely because there's no bitchiness, but Stacey is loud, and pretty, and thin, and well everything I'm not. So where I'm still shy with them all, she's not, and sometimes gets us into situations I'd rather not be in. I really like them all, I just don't know how to speak to any of them because I don't have the confidence, so I'm just the "boring" one. Makes me feel like maybe I should leave them to it and keep myself to myself :/
So glad you had a nice birthday, Kirstey. With regards to your new friends, I am sure they would not spend any time with you if they found you boring, and I know you are slim and pretty, seen your photos on here, so don't worry about Stacey being better looking. :nono: We are all different and why she might be an extrovert and you more an introvert, maybe the boys like that because you balance each other out :) Just go out and enjoy their company as I am sure they enjoy yours :D
I'll also listen, Lea.
Kirsty - Perdita offers very good advice. Not everyone likes extroverts - shyness can be very attractive too. Just be yourself and don't start avoiding your friends. I'm sure things will improve if you're patient. Good luck :)

That is true.. I am the extrovert in my group and quiet shy people compliment my personality.. and trust me they don't get any less attention than I do... in fact they probably get more cause very few like loud people... and I can be very loud..
I can be very loud..
Surely not...
Surely not...
I don't mean to be but I love to laugh really loud..
I'm shy, but I was always the one to get into trouble at school because my laugh was so loud :(
I'm shy, but I was always the one to get into trouble at school because my laugh was so loud :(
I think that is disgraceful the way people look at you just because you laugh out loud.. I love people to laugh out loud.. it make me smile
I'm always here for you leaaa :D You should know that :P.
Kirsty I know the feeling, but as everyones said stick in, cause it's true not many people like loud people. If that even made sense which to me it currently doesn't :S
Its been a rough few days.
Tuesday started out ok. I had my mock court appearance which went well, then it all went downhill. I honestly don't know what happened or how I went from feeling well to being so depressed in the space of a few hours. I've been a bit hit and miss with my meds recently but I've not missed any doses in the past week. Tuesday was a day of doing stupid things :wall: My desire to escape myself for a few hours led to a massive migraine yesterday. I've never had one that bad, I even went to the doctors as I thought something was seriously wrong.
So, the doctors. I went dressed like a tramp, dirty jogging bottoms, greasy hair and sunglasses. I felt so ill I really didn't care what I looked like. He changed my migraine meds then we got talking about the causes of my migraine and why I'd had one for the first time in 18 months. He asked me about my drinking habits (he's the first doctor to ever ask whether I use alcohol as an escape) and if there was anything else on my mind. So I told him about the family situation and he told me about being a police surgeon and how he's seen it so many times before. I really didn't want to talk about any of it but he's asked me to go back and talk about a few things when I'm feeling better. I have a check up in a few weeks so I'm really looking forward to it now :rolleyes:
Today I've just been hanging out in the union and sleeping on the sofas. I didn't want to spend another day by myself so it was the next best thing. I'm so tired now though, I just want to sleep.
Omg my easter has been mad! I still have another week off once this week is over
When dan came to visit last week, we went to see Kick Ass which is such a good film! :D Then we went out, since it was student night, then we went to Alton towers but it had a power cut- we went on 4 rides all day!!!
I went to doubletake studios as well which was good cos a friend reccomended me, some of the pics- wow, I never like pics of me!
The on the friday I went on a dancing night out, saturday went to lancaster to visit a friend at uni, got back home late sunday night, monday morning went to london with friends from uni for a night out, came back tuesday and slept!
Ive felt so ill lately. :( stupid cough
I really need to get some revision done, im going to visit dan next week, well late next week so I have plenty of time to get a good amount done
Kirsty :]
22-04-2010, 21:32
Thanks everyone for your kind words and advice! The thing is... I am loud, and bubbly, and thats what I'm known for being and what people compliment me on most of the time. I think it's jsuta bit of a blow that Stacey is ten times louder than me.. makes me seem like a mouse haha.
Abigail, I really hope that you feel better soon! I say it all the time but you do deserve to be happy, maybe talking to the doctor will help you more in the coming weeks :)
Blimming heck Abbie you've been a busy bee! Also! We have a mutual friend! Someone that I know of, came to stay with your friend not long ago, it was a bit mad seeing pictiures of it on Facebook haha
Yeah I know! :D

I'm very slowly and begrudgingly arriving at the conclusion that I should see somebody. I just don't know where to start though. I'm going to think about it over the weekend and maybe book an appointment for next week.
Kirsty :]
22-04-2010, 21:59
Yeah Caz! I've only briefly spoken to her once or twice I think, whilst being drunk.. but yeah, she goes out with my friends brother, it's all a bit linked haha

It's good that you didn't go for help just because maybe you ahd been told it was needed. Nothing will help until you want the help yourself, so the fact that you're coming around to it is an achievement in itself, don't rush it, as you may just feel constant pressure, which may make you feel worse in the long run, just do things at the speed you're comfortable with :)

well I'm on here for a moan because in 27 years of employment I have never had to make a complaint about anyone. Y es I've had disagreements with work colleagues but I've done my best to work things out, and in my current job I never thought someone would do the dirty on me but they have. I'll explain.
As many of you know I work in a further and higher education college in the engineering department. At this time of year we start recruiting for students who will join courses in September. If a student wants to enrol on an engieering course they have to pass a test this is mandatory for both motor vehicle and electrical courses. Anyway all applicants come to me and I log them then they get sent to another part of the college who invite students in for testing. My moan starts before the Easter holidays. I was in the head of departments office checking we had enough test papers for the motor vehicle exam when one of the lecturers came in and asked for one and a copy of the exam answers. I gave him them as this wasn't unusual. The problem was on Tuesday I had a new load of application forms to log and while logging them I noticed that one student hadn't put in his date of birth so I phoned his house. The message went to voice mail were I left a message why I was phoning. Thursday my phone went and it was one of the lecturers returning my call. Turns out the application form was for his son and he asked me when it came to inviting students in for testing could his son's application be top of the list. I explained that I have no control who gets tested first that is up to Lecturers. A lilttle while later I remembered about the same Lecturer taking the exam and answers before easter. I spoke to the head of department and he said to wait until the testing and if this Lecturers son gets an unusally high score then the lecturer will have to face the consquences but I may be in danger of getting my knuckles wrapped. So this has really pi$$ed me off.
And on top of that Mother Nature has decided to kick in with My 11 year old daughter
Aww, Kath, sorry to hear about your work troubles, you would like to think that the lecturer would know better than try to cheat for his son to get top of the list. :(
I was 11 when mother nature kicked in, still rememberwaking up with the pain and not knowing why.
Kath that's terrible that a lecturer possibly helped his son to cheat. You shouldn't feel bad about giving him the answers if thats normal practice. You weren't to know what he would do with them.

Thanks guys. Normally at recruiting there is only three of four lectuers who oversee the testing and interviewing. This can take up a morning or afternoon. This year they have changed it so that any lectuer who is free can sit in while the exam is taking place so a lectuer taking a copy of the exam is not unusual. It's just the sneaky way he has done it to get a copy of the exam. It shows you he must have little faith in his son passing an exam on his own merit.
That is the way I saw it when I read your first post Kath.. He obviously feels his son can only pass by cheating.. what does that say about a) him and b) his son... Even if I was a school teacher I would expect my kids to do the same as all others.. it is up to them to learn.. As a child if my parents handed me an exam I would have been disgusted by them to think I could only do well by cheating... at the end of the day, you did your job right so you have nothing to worry about
Just found out that one of the guys I used to work with in the US died in a car crash.. he left work a month ago (exactly to the day he died).. His final words to everyone are just beautiful:
Good Luck and Good Life my friends. Remember what is really important in this life, find it and enjoy it to its fullest.
That's very, very sad. :( He sounded very wise.
How are you coping, Siobhan?
Aww, Siobhan, that is sad news but he knew what life was all about. Hope he found and enjoyed it. Hope you are ok :(
Aww, Siobhan, that is sad news but he knew what life was all about. Hope he found and enjoyed it. Hope you are ok :(
I am just shocked... He was only 42 and had 2 young daughters... it is a big shock to everyone here...
That is awful for the young family he has left behind. May God bless them and you :)

That's so sad Siobhan, he sounded like a lovely man.
Okay, now I've really got myself into a mess. Think it's sorted now.. well I hope so anyways. Only time will tell :|
I hope you're ok, Kirsty :)

Terribly sad news Shiv, hope you and his family will be ok. xx
Just found out that my niece's little girl who was born with her stomach outside her body (Gastroschisis) and has had to be on a bag since she was born, has had a successful operation (she is 2 years old now) and took her first poo! I know it doesn't sound like much but it was a big deal for her.. it means in 6 months she can start eating proper food and can play like a little girl should.. So happy for her and my niece..
:cheer: That's brilliant! It's so nice to hear happy news :D

Fantastic news, it is a big deal, soo pleased :cheer:
I went out this evening. A guy came back to mine then we went to the casino where I yakked up in the toilets :( I didn't drink that much but I did have three coffees in quick succession. He invited me back to his place, I declined and now I'm home. Why didn't I accept??
I don't know what to do about him, he said he's been trying to get me on a date for months. This is so confusing, especially as I leave next week and he leaves the union in a few months. What do I do?

About an hour after posting that I went back to his. We woke up a few hours ago holding hands and just staring at each other. It was quite sweet really but I don't know where its going. We're driving up to Newcastle in a few hours so that will be interesting.
I thought that he might have woken up and realised he made a mistake but he told somebody that he was very happy this morning. When we were holding hands he was just smiling all the time.
I don't know what to do :confused:
Abigail, does he live far from you? if you are thinking about sticking with this guy, can it work out even with the distance?
I'm glad you had a good time with this guy, even if you don't know where it's going as you're leaving next week. If you have strong feelings for each other, it may work out long-distance.
Guys i have a question to ask. I've been thinking about this for a while now but I just don't know. A few weeks ago i was prescribed tablets to calm my body down so i don't often have panic attacks, but now i just can't be bothered taking them, I'm constantly tired, nearly always tearful and really really moody it's no where near my time of the month I don't think but i'm sick and tired of feeling like this. I can't sleep at night anymore, and all i want to do is sleep although I can't. Plus to add to that I'm not eating at all, If I do eat it's only Junk food, or i have one main meal a day. I don't want to go to the doctors cause i feel like I'm always there nowadays. Don't want to have to explain this to my mum cause she just won't listen to me, any advice? Sorry if that doesn't make sense.
Are you saying that the pills make you feel like that? Then I would go to the doctor and tell him, he might be able to prescribe you different pills that won't have the side effects you describe. Not eating properly is not good and can have an affect on your moods, if your blood sugar level drops too much. Maybe you should try to eat just a little, even if you don't feel like it, like a handful of nuts would be a good start or some fruit. Hope you get this sorted x :)

I don't know if it is due to the tablets, or if my mind's decided to not care what happens to me anymore. I don't know much anymore to be honest Perdita, I've got so much going on in my head it's unbelievable :(
Kirsty :]

Tannie you should really go to the doctor, as Perdita said, they can prescribe different tablets to you. Also, don't worry about being there all the time, they're there to help, we must never forget that. They will not penalise you for going back and forth, you're simply showing interest in your health and wellbeing, which is probably what so many more people should be doing.. myself included. I hope you feel better soon :) x
I'm going to say what the others have - go back to the doctor and tell him/her everything you've told us. It sounds to me like you're anxious and depressed, something I am very familiar with, and they won't get better on their own. You're doctor isn't going to think you're seeing him/her too often, I promise. Take care of yourself :)
You should go to the doctor Tannie as said above they could prescibe different tablets that work better. Hope you start to feel better soon.
Im going to Birmingham in a bit, My grandad was 9 0 the last week so we are having a get together as a famliy for him. The cheapest train was a 6AM hence this ridiculas hour that i am up, im downloading ashes to ashes to iplayer and the resty of five daughters that i missed for the train! shjould keep me occupied for 3 hours, then only an hour to kill but i have my fully charged ipod to sort out that!

Tannie I have to agree with the others go back to the doctors and don't feel your making a mountain out of a molehill. And talk to your mum. I know its difficult with others in the house, but if you text her or ask her on her own to sit with you she will Tannie. She's your mum and she will support you 100%..
Shiv congratulations on your neices baby's health and here's to her first reall poo. let's hope it's a stinker for Daddy.

We live about five minutes away from each other at the moment. He works in the students' union but his term is coming to an end in July. I'm leaving next weekend, although I may stay a bit longer depending on what happens.
He's from Durham and goes to Gateshead every Thursday until Sunday because he coaches rugby so he's only around Sunday evening until Thursday dinner. I don't know what his plans are for when he leaves the union. I'll still have my final year to go at uni. He graduated two years ago and he's applied for a teaching post in Palestine although that's not definite.
I could in theory get a job in Newcastle and live there and see him Thursday - Sunday every week. I could find a job in Stoke and stay here until my tennancy is up in June.
I've never felt like this about anybody before, I really like him. I want to be with him but he's sending me mixed messages. I'm so confused about what he wants.
He said he would give me a lift back to Stoke today as he took me to Newcastle on Thursday. I stayed with my sister and he went to his mum's. He ignored my message about when he was coming back and hasn't text me since Thursday afternoon. I've spent the past three days with my head in the clouds thinking about if we have a future and why we left things this long. He's been asking me out for a drink for months and I always turned him down. I really don't know why I did that.
So tonight I'm going to the bar to eat lots of food and get very drunk with a friend who also has relationship troubles :)
My chest hurts :( Going to the library soon to do some revision.
I text him last night when I was drunk to see why he invited me over. He said he enjoyed my company :confused: What does that mean?
He left Newcastle ten minutes after I got home last night. He sounded disappointed that I'd left but he couldn't be bothered to reply to my message so what does he expect?
Ugh...I hate it when people give mixed messages like that. I've learnt that they're not to be relied upon.
There might have been a very good reason that he could not reply to the text straight away maybe??? :)
There might have been a very good reason that he could not reply to the text straight away maybe??? :)
Yeah, maybe he was with his girlfriend :p
I text him 45mins ago to tell him I like him and to ask how he feels. No reply yet.
He has a gf???? :eek: You are kidding, right :p Hope he gives you the answer you want to hear :D
I don't know for sure. One of my male friends told me he has a girlfriend, although this was after some serious bashing of the guy I like. When I wouldn't listen to his comments about Gareth being a man slag, a walking STD, somebody that is just using me for sex, he then said he has a girlfriend. I'm well aware of Gareth's history and I'm not stupid enough to stay with somebody that would use me. My friend said he was concerned about me because of my recent behavior but he was the one who told me two weeks ago I need a man! If Gareth does have a girlfriend, why did my friend not say it straightaway and why has nobody else mentioned it?
But my sister gave me some encouraging advice. Eleven years ago she was with somebody for about two years. She met a guy in a bar one night, he didn't care that she was in a relationship. He persued her, they got married. Ten years and a kid later, they're still together. She took a risk leaving her boyfriend but it paid off.
i had a lovely time in Birmingham, nice to see the family, just enjoying the bank holiday well whats left of it.
just watched the womens fa cup whcih was really good.
My life is just one big mistake after another. Last night some guy invited himself back to my place, we got drunk, he got high and tried it on. Being the idiot I am, I let him stay in my bed. That's one night I just want to erase from my memory.
Gareth didn't text back. I guess he just used me. He'll figure out what he passed up tomorrow :p
Saw the doctor this morning and he increased my anti-depressants and told me not to smoke. Apparently, nicotine causes bursts of serotonin to be released which isn't good when taking SSRIs.
Abigail.. some guys are like that.. some women too, and I know it doesn't help right at this moment, but it will get better. Just be careful. I am concerned about you
I'm glad you saw your doctor, Abigail. Try not to worry about those guys - they're not worth your attention. Taking care of yourself is all that matters.
I feel so depressed today. Too much alcohol and smoking. I've poured the rest of the wine down the toilet, I've had enough.
I saw him for the first time this morning. He smiled at me and asked me to fill in a questionnaire. I said no. I guess that shows what he's really like. He just used me, he lied and led me on. At least now I know what his intentions are and I can move on once I drag myself out of this black hole.
I'm going down to Bangor on the 20th of may to see my mate who goes to Uni there, and she's managed to get tickets for the sunday event at Radio One's Big Weekend :D! Marina and The Diamonds & Paramore. I am so excited :D
Have fun in Bangor Tannie, the amount of big weekend related facebook statuses i have is unreal, i didnt get tickets but it s a blessing really as i have far to much revision to do as it is slap bang in the middle of my finals.
My mates coming up tomorrow for the weekedn, im really looking forward to seeing her, hopefull the weather will be good so we can go onto anglesey
had a really nice day today, spent the afternoon with friends sitting in the warm sunshine in Spain, sadly only 3 more days before going back home and work :(
i had a great weekend, we spent the day on anglesey and did a really long walk
Getting a new phone tomorrow, the Samsung H1, anyone have one, the reviews look good, there are bit mixed which i have found i have had with the majority of phones that i have looked at.
Very tired, had little sleep, flew back from Spain early this morning and went straight to work :eek: Looking forward to a good sleep tonight :)
My back is so sore so I'm not heading into college. I just want to cry :( I just want a magic wand, I don't want to feel like this any longer. I am so sick and tired of this, it's ruining my life and college etc. :crying:
I'm sending you a big hug, Tannie. It sounds like you need to talk to your GP, if you haven't already. You can get help for feeling like this.
Same here Tannie, (((X))) hugggss. I agree with Dazzle, speak to a doctor :)
argh my first final tomorrow! gone so quick, i remember panicing over my first exam. I been working hard all week, so if i dont know it now i never will. going to have a chilled night and recap before i go bed, then 12 o clock tomorrow it will all be over, then i think i will go back to Manchester for the weekend as its a friends bierthday.
If the topics i learned come up then it will all be grand, !
Good luck Katy, I am sure you will do well :)
I got my ears pierced yesterday :) Did a bit of shopping then went out in the evening. It was a good night, I don't remember much though. The pictures tell themselves :embarrassed: My decline from respectable to downright drunk is chronolised on Facebook like never before.
Tomorrow I'm hopefully going to sign the contract for a house, which I'm looking forward to. If I have to live in hall-type accommodation any longer I will go insane.
What type of earring have you got in your newly pierced ears? :) Hopefully you won't suffer any infection, I did, despite cleaning them with salt water all the time. :( Good luck with the contract for the house. :)
Just some silver studs, although I'm not sure if they are silver or silver-plated nickel. I wasn't thinking of these technical questions when I got it done. They're a bit red and sore but I expect that's normal considering the ear lobe has suffered some trauma. I am so tempted to take them out though, I can't stop fiddling with them.
Hopefully this house won't fall through like the one last year did. The guy I'm going to be living with is a good friend, we get on well but we don't live in each other's pockets. We both understand that we both have problems and need housemates that aren't going to be arguing every five minutes. He's not the going out clubbing type, more a home or pub drinker, which suits me fine. As long as he keeps to his own bed...
keep bathing your earlobes in salt water, Abigail, should stop an infection hopefully :)
thanks for the good lucks!
Jus condensed my notes and feeling a little better than i did thins morning. Bed for me now i think as an alnighter isnt going to help anybody! Thanks again!
I'm going to a dinner party on Monday night :) I'm really looking forward to it, its with my psychiatrist friend so it should be a barrel of laughs.
On Tuesday I'm going to London to go round a few museums for dissertation research and because I love anatomy and dead bodies. Probably going on my own but will see if anyone else wants to come. There's one museum that you can only get into if you're a life sciences student and I need to get a letter confirming that. Personally I think it should be open to everyone but hey ho.
soudsn good Abigail, have a good time
My exam went quite well, but you can never tell with exams, just got to hope for the best now. 2 more to do.
ive come home from uni and everyone has decided to go out! so im home alone.

Awww congratulations Parkerman!!! :) :)
congratulations parkerman!
I hate revision! but i can see tat when it is all over ill be bored stiff! swo i cant really win. Really want Fridays exam out the way though, its definitlry going to be the worse one, im really not a fan of the subject at all and its so confusing with loads of terminology that makes no sense
Congratulations on the birth of your new granddaughter, Parkerman. :cheer:
Good luck for the rest of your exams, Katy. :thumbsup:
I'm In Bangor and the amount of stupid quote alone I have came out with unbelivable. Let's just say I called my boyfriend a female :lol: He will not be happy when he wake's up to that. Paloma Faith is the main artist being played which i knew anyway considering both me and Lauren love her lot's :D! Yeah that's all for just now cause Lauren need's her laptop back at sometime i suppose.... :P:lol:
Everyones gone big weekend mad here, im too busy revisin which kind of sucks but one more exam and thats it. Yesterdays went ok, two people collapsed in the exam which was a bit distracting but i tink we are getting special circumstances so thats a couple of extra marks. I know they cant help it but there is a reason there is a sick bay to sit your exams if you are unwell, i really lost my train of thought and it was probably the hardest exam i have ever sat just to add to it.
Just catching up on some TV which i havent done in ages, felt guilty bout watching it as i wasnt working. Looking forward to the Dorothy final tonight to.
Good luck with all your exams :)
Best of luck, Katy :cheer:
Yesterday I signed a contract for a house for September :cheer: I'm going to be living with a male friend about 30seconds walk from campus. The house is lovely, really big and warm and the landlady seems lovely too. I'm happy and I feel confident that me and my friend will get on and we won't fall out like I did with the guys I was supposed to be living with last year. We have the opportunity for somebody else to live with us and reduce our rent but at the moment I feel quite happy just to live with Gary. We've already started planning on the minor decorations we're going to do, like hanging flags in the living room, a few throws for the sofas and such like. I'm excited :)
I've realised that Gareth was just using me. Now I can move on, I actually feel able to do this except he keeps appearing in my dreams. I think once I get home and occupy myself I will forget about him.
I went to London on Tuesday and went round some museums. I highly recommend the Huntarian museum (http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/museums) at Lincolns Inn Fields if you're into animal or human anatomy. Hunter's work is simply amazing, I've never seen dissections like his in my life.
My dissertation is also sorted. I'm investigating how the post-mortem treatment and handling of bones affects the ability to further dismember them. I'll be using pig or cow bones, probably ribs as there's so many of them. I would prefer to use femurs but there's four femurs on an animal compared to over a dozen sets of ribs.
I honestly can't believe that I've completed my second year of my degree :eek: Its gone so fast and I feel I know so much, yet so little at the same time. I'm definitely going to do a masters in forensic anthropology and archaeology, although whether that happens next year or in a few years depends on money as student loans don't cover post-grad courses.
Well done on signing the contract for your new house :cheer:
It sounds like your life is going really well at the moment. I'm glad you're starting to move on from Gareth.
Thanks :) I do feel a lot better now that I've increased my anti-depressants. For about a month I was doing crazy stuff that I would never do if I wasn't depressed, my friends kept telling me they were concerned and I was worried that there was something bigger at play. I seem to be coming through it now though. I've realised that I'm better than a guy who cheats on women, who lies, sleeps around and treats women badly. I was a fool to ever think we could be something but everyone makes mistakes and I'm thankful that we didn't get too involved. As it is, we can't even be in the same room as each other now. I walked into the kitchen in the union on Monday and started making a drink. There were a few other people walking out of the kitchen. He was sat on a chair waiting for the microwave. Thirty seconds later he walked out without saying a word to me. I don't know how we got to that point but that's when I started to realise that he's not worth my time or energy.
I've also accepted that I need to stop drinking. I'm leaving uni on Monday for the summer so now is a perfect time to sober up and deal with my issues rather than drink them away.
It's such a pleasure to hear you sounding happier :D
Abigail, I agree with Dazzle, it is so good to hear you in a positive mood again, I have missed that for a long time. Welcome back :)
Thank you :) I know that I will never be cured of depression and it will always be there but I'm learning to cope with it better now. I got some bad news on Tuesday and I think I took it quite well. I accepted that there was nothing I could do about it and getting in a tiz or getting drunk is not the answer.
That is good, and you know that I and others on here will be there for you if you need to talk :)

I was down at the beach playing with my 3 year old grandson yesterday. Suddenly, apropos of absolutely nothing at all, he looked at me and said, "Gordon Brown's not the Prime Minister any more." It just creased me up! :rotfl:
:lol: maybe he will be a future PM :hmm: out of the mouths of babes :D
I SAW PARAMORE LIVE YESTERDAY OMG :eek: sorry haha that had to go in capitals. I had a amazing 4 day break in Bangor with my best mate :D. Yesterday was amazing think i may of been the only one who never got sunburnt :P I even tanned slightly. Now I don't wanna be home. Don't wanna go to college tomorrow, just can't be bothered with it anymore :cry:. Our train from Bangor to Crewe (well for lauren it was MK) but yeah, was cancelled so we didn't know what to do ended up getting a train to chester, Chester to Crewe than for me Crewe to Edinburgh, than Edinburgh home. I am absolutely knackered but just imported Marina and The Diamonds - The Crown Jewels it is a amazing album <3. Question Katy how do you pronounce Bangor cause i know we all pronounce it differently and just wondering :). I didn't half laugh at how some people pronounced it. Just now i am watching the Highlights of The Big Weekend. Florence + Cheryl were both amazing IMO :D
