I have seen some spectacular sunburn around! ah the joys of bangor by train! i dont think i ever had a straighforward journey in the three years i been here. I think its pronunced Bang - er but i think it different depends on where people are from. Glad that you had a good time.
I'm Welsh - Bangor is pronounced Bang-gore (with the "r" sounded). :)
Had to go and meet my top boss today which usually involves a 2 1/2 hour car journey on the motorway; as there are loads of roadworks on that particular stretch of motorway I decided to go by train, very relaxing way to travel :) I had to change trains once andat the stop before the train was due to arrive where I had to get off, the anouncer said that the train could not go on for a while because somebody suicidal was on the tracks :eek: Luckily we only had to wait a few minutes and I still managed to get my connecting train. Leaves me wondering though what happened to the poor soul delaying the first train. :(

Aww thats sad :( I hate hearing things like, plays on my mind too.
I actually cannot believe the cheek of some people!!!!
Jay has hardly said 2 words to me since what happened, and has ignored me the past week or so. I post a nice status on Facebook about having a day to myself tomorrow and he comments on it... asking for a lift to somewhere he needs to be today! Urgh he is comeplte SCUM.
he doesnt sound nice at all!
Im getting ready to go out, my final nite out with all my girlies before they go home forever, im not leaving for a couple more weeks. Im really excited but a bit sad at the same time. Like a part of me is really really wanting to go home for summer and get back to normal but then another part of me is probably going to miss uni, well the people that i have seen every day for the last 3 years. Its weird. but i plan on getting very drunk and plan on a nite to remember.
Enjoy your nite out Katy, it is part of life, a chapter has come to an end, it is very emotional for most people, so feeing excited and sad at the same time is so normal. Try to stay in touch with the people you like, always nice to catch up :)
I'm really missing uni today. I'm so used to having friends around me who don't have commitments and all I've got is my mum who keeps on at me about the job centre. Five days of being sober is really getting to me!
my last nite out was mental, i was sooo drunk, but a great way to finish, we realised we had done the same as our first night out so was a fitting way to end. Bangor is very quiet at the moment as everyone else seems to have gone home. I have another 10 days i think before i go. Waiting on my parents as they have the car to fit all myu stuff in, thers no way that it would all fit on the train.
It is very weird not having any work to do. Making the most of it before my full time job starts fingers crossed for me actually getting it and the intense practice course that i will be doing nexxt septrember. Cant believe i will be graduating next month, just need to order the gown and then wait and see if i have passed or not, scary email saying i find out my degree result in the 17th June eeek!
Im now scouting amazon to order some books to read, that have nothing what so ever to do with law! then looking forward to reading them!
Have you got a training contract Katy?
Have you got a training contract Katy?
Not yet Abigail, im taking a bit of a risk by doing the LPC without having one secured at the end as there is no guarentee i will get one. There is a lot of help with finding you one at MMU, which will be where i am doing my LPC. I have a plan b though and if i dont get a training contract for straight after ill just start applying for Paralegal jobs which is slightly less money but it is a foot in the door and then there is a future possibility that that company may pick me up for my training contract plus it gives me much needed experience for when i start applying for TC in the future. Theres also the fact that i dont really want to be a city centre commercial firm which are the ones that give TCs out like 2 years in advance, i want to work high street with private client and there given more on a when they need a new person basis.
Do you know what your plans are for when you finish?

Had some bad news this morning. My borther in law who lives in Leeds died this morning from Pnuemonia. My sister phone last night to say he was taken in to hospital on Wednesday but she got a call about 9pm to go in as he was poorly. He died at 6am. Fallen out with my other sister already as she thinks because she went down to help the last time he was in hospital last year I should go to the funeral but I have no one to watch Marley so how can I. Families :angry:
Kath , I am so sorry about your brother in law.
You are right about families, there is something about loss, though that brings out the worst in everyone - maybe it is thinking of our own mortality? You can only do what you can, so don't let anyone make you feel guilty.
Sorry about your news Kath and yeah I agree about Families.. they have a way of making you feel so guilty.. even if you have done nothing wrong
Do you know what your plans are for when you finish?
I really want to do a masters but it depends on funding. I don't want to get a Career Development loan because of the repayment terms. My mum phoned earlier to tell me I'm getting quite a bit of money for my birthday. I don't know whether I should save it for a house deposit or pay for part of my masters fees or put it towards a travelling fund :hmm:
Forensic science jobs aren't readily available but they do pay well. I watched a program the other day about crime scene cleaners and had a fleeting idea of setting my own crime scene cleaning company up. I have basic business knowledge and knowledge of cleaning up biological fluids but I don't know what sort of market there is.
So the short answer is - I don't know!
But you have the opportunity to look into this, you still have time to do research, good luck :)

Sorry to hear that Kath. Is there no-one you can get to look after Marley? You really should attend the Funeral if possible

Sorry to hear your sad news Kath. Can you take Marley with you or see if she could stay at a friend's house overnight?
Sorry to hear about your brother in law, i agree totally on whay you say about families, i have spent the last two days with mine and i love them all to pieces but my its stressful! and yet it really shouldnt be.

So sorry to hear the sad news Kath, I agree too about families being a pain in the bum, barely speaking to mine lately. Arghh.
I'm in a slight pickle... lately I've lost all interest in College and bla bla bla. Anyways, I work at the shoe shop too part time.
I had a phonecall today off a local hotel asking me to go in for an informal interview on Thursday morning, and have given me a shift on Friday night. I'm happy, and I only have 2 weeks left in College, so holding 2 jobs over the summer can't be that bad can it? Is anyone up to scratch on this kind of situation? I'm just feeling a bit woooooah what do I do.
It depends on whether your shifts will clash and how many days and nights you're going to be working. The money might be good but if the two jobs mean you don't have a social life then what's the point in doing it? You deserve at least one day and night off a week, if only to recharge your batteries ready for the next day.
Enjoy it Kirstey and feel wooohoooo, you are entitled to and should do. I am sure college will feel different again after summer break, even in my job I feel despondent at times but like it really :) Have a great summer :))
Do you have another year at colllege Kirsty?
About the two jobs theres no reason why you shouldnt be able to do both as long as they dont clash, but make sure you got free time as well as otherwise theres no point in haaving the money from the jobs. The only things you need to look at is the amount of hours you would be doing when doing both of them as by law you cant work over a certain amount of hours a week, and then theres also the tax implications but again i dont think that they should be a problem as they are both part time jobs so shouldnt be that much.
Im meant to be packing, but at themoment its an epic fail, i have empty boxes and not much else!
Went to the doctor's two weeks ago and have been issued with anti - depressants, which also help my anxiety as i'm refusing to take the tablet's the doctor gave me my tablets for my anxiety. I know they're going to take a couple of week's to help etc.. but oh i am so stressed it's unbelivable, It's my brother's birthday today and he's holding a party, my mum and dad's going to visit my gran who just came up from wales yesterday to get out the house, and i'm to supervise them which was fine with me cause i was going to invite my best mate, but her boyfriend's coming over later than originally planned as her foster sister went in for her weekly chemo and is having to have a blood transfusion so they won't get back till 8 instead of the back of four. She has to speak to him about stuff cause in my eye's now he's taking the absolute piss out of her cause he's freaking out over everything, It's a long story and i don't want to get into it cause it's not mines to tell but it's stressing me out, i want a hug from her cause she's the only one who know's what i'm going through cause she's going through the same thing. I just feel so alone now and everything, going to have a few drinks once the parent's are back from my gran's but i just don't want to suppervise a bunch of 15/16 year old's. Just going to have to get on with it through.
Essay or what! I will probably be around a lot more though now. I'm also trying to sort my head out also :)
I am all sad.. one of the guys left our team.. he will be sadly missed.. great guy, absolute shame to see him leave..
Yay, World Cup!!! Good opening game so far. Im back in Manchester for good now, came back this morning, backing all my stuff took ages and i have to unpack now which i have a feeling will take longer.
I hate when people leave work teams especially when you work with some one every day, its weird when they are not there any more.
Also having laptop issues, i think the harddrives fried, i just get a blank screen when i turn it on, may be a visit to the computer shop in the morning.

HUGSSSSSS It is the best I can do but you are in my thoughts xxx :)
My sister has asked me to be Charlie's godmother. I need some help with a gift. What's the tradition for a woman to give a boy? I know it's something silver but that's as much as I know.
I've been ill all week with vomiting, joint pain and all the rest of it. Today is the first day I've eaten something other than rice and weetabix. I still feel tired and a bit sick but hopefully it will pass with some rest.
Aww, hope you feel better soon. You can get silver scroll holders for the birth certificate, little box for the first tooth, picture frame, first spoon and fork, little box for his first lock of hair, there is a variety of things you can get in silver :)

Thanks for your support guys. The funeral is this wednesday it looks like I'm going to go. The funeral is in the afternoon so I will travel down by train in the morning and back up at night. I'll let you know how it goes. Shiv it's horrible when a good work mate leaves work. We have three lecturers leaving the department in three weeks time. They are retiring I'm such a cry baby I will be in bits at their leaving do.
well ill be thinking of you and i hope the funeral is ok.
Im thinking ill be in bits next week, its my degree results that are released.
Katy, I am sure you will have done great, you have worked hard :) Good luck :D

You are in my thoughts and prayers, Kath, and I hope that you can stay in touch with the lecturers that are leaving, sounds like you got on very well, no reason not to continue to do so :) Same applies to Siobhan :)
im watchng the GAA and the world cup, thats whats sundays are made for, Cork and Kerry are well frustrating! far too many wides. Good game though.
Been to the gym this morning, very tired now, but it will i think it will make me fitter in the long run so im thinking of that, my fitness is definitley better each time i go, im nearly ready for race for like i think!
I've officially given up on life >_> Nothing is going to go right for me or so it feel's. "Bree" Decided to turn around to me via text last night saying that she wanted nothing to do with, she hated me and always has, and i[m a psycho and i should go take my happy pills. She has now broke me, I feel useless and worthless and lonely. Why the hell is this happening to me? When i thought everything was changing, I'm in on the business course, passed my6 2 outcomes for numeracy, and have a boyfriend whom i am happy with. What have i ever done wrong? I give up as of now.
Sorry for the rant guys it really had to come out.
Tannie, concentrate on the good things in your life, you have a boyfriend, you are on your business course and have passed your numeracy, let go of people that just drag you down. I don't consider somebody that says those hurtful things to another person as a friend, write the things she said on a piece of tissue paper and then flush it down the toilet,this can be very therapeutic, and then get on with your boyfriend and your course. She is not worth you getting upset about, you are a beautiful, caring person and she is probably jealous because she knows deep down that she can't hold a candle to you.
Tannie - you are not useless and worthless, it is your so-called "friend" Bree who is those things for writing what she did.
A decent person wouldn't do that, and she is not worth your grief.
As Perdita says, concentrate on the good things in your life as it sounds like you have plenty of them.
I'm sending you a hug :heart: and hoping you're feeling a little better by now.
Tannie, there are so many more positives in your post than negatives.
It seems to me that 'Bree' is a spiteful person who is deliberately hurting you, surely your life would be better if you blocked her on your phone, FB and anywhere you can and just get on with your life without her. You are making a success of things - your 3rd last sentence says it all. You haven't done anything wrong, and she is not a friend.
Please do not let spiteful comments make you feel bad about yourself, if they say anything about anyone it is 'Bree' herself.
BTW, I love Perdy's idea of flushing bad thoughts etc down the toilet. I would start with one sheet with that nasty girls name on it!

Well done Katy you little Einstein!! :) Sooo pleased for you :) All your hard work has paid off! :)
Stressing, College is nearly at an end so everythings a mad rush to get finished, aswell as that I have work at the shoe shop which I'm really enjoying at the moment, and then there's Commodore work, which is going well, £6 hour cash in hand.. can't beat it. But apparently I'm going on the books soon (or they're thinking about it) which means a clock in card, being paid monthly or however it is they get paid, but it goes down to £4.83 an hour. This would be beneficial to me if I didn;'t already have a job, but it was ideal getting cash in hand just to get me thorugh weekends when my wages are gone haha. Plus I don't want so much commitment... so I may have to let them down gently when/if they ask me about going on the books. Just don;t know how to go about it without sounding liek I'm turning my nose up.
I have a bob! All my hair has been chopped off. I love it... just so difficult to get used too haha :)
*hint hint* A new post in the Member's Photo thread :D Glad things are going well for you, Kirstey :)
you used to your hair yet Kirsty! i was like that when i had mine cut, it felt really weird in the first few days.
My mates are coming round soon for a bbq and then we are hitting town for my 21st, got to start getting ready soon, hope the weather stays like it is as well.
Ditto, have a fab night out :D
OMG I havent been on here since the 1st june, its probably been longer since ive properly been on here
Ive finished my first year now, I got a 2.1 for my first year :D
Congratulations on you first year mark Abbie, thats a great result.
I am so hungover it is untrue, i found my way back home at 6 oclock this morning, was a great night though. As i went to a local club and bars and not Manc city centre like we usually do to save on money, the amount of people we saw that i used to go school with 5 6 years ago was incredible. Really strange but great to be back.
Feeling worse for wear all day, so chilled out, went for a walk and now watching sherlock holmes, and then looking forward to my actual birthday tomorrow, there are a couple of packages all waiting for me to open.

Great results Abbie & Katy. Clever bunnies. Went to the funeral on Wednesday not as bad as thought it would be, but time will tell over the next few weeks and months how my sister will cope. Tannie forget the hurtful things Bree said to you. Think of the good things you have in your life at present and take one day at a time. Life will get better.
Not so much of how was your day but how I hope my next few days will be. Travelling 300 miles later today to be closer to the airport from which I am flying to London tomorrow for a 2 day In-Service volunteers' conference, looking forward to meeting up with a few friends again I have not seen for a while. There is also my nemesis who I had hoped I would never have anything to do with, he is on the same flights, shall try to ignore him as best as I can.
Last week could be considered as one of the worst week's ever. But although i'm not longer with Jordan, I am with someone else. It's kind of confusing of how we got together etc but i'm happy. I've realised who all my true friends are and i love them all to pieces! Thanks for all the message's guys :D Really really helped! Now I just want my Hayfever to get lost so I can have a decent summer please? :) I love this weather just can't go out in it as I'm always sneezing. Don't think i've felt better in ages! Although the depression is still lurking under the surface, that only come's on when something remind's me of something or when i just hit rock bottom. :(

Our Manager handed in her notice today :( I really do not want to stay in that place when she goes. It means the evil assistant Manager will be in charge for a while, she is completely evil, and so snekay about it. All of us know what she's like, but we can't catch her out because of the way she goes about things. She's had poeple in tears in the past, and ugh she's just awful! I worked 10-4 the other day with no break because she was shift runner. I was running about like a headless chicken measuring feet and using the till at the same time... while she stood at the back with one of the newbie girls cos she's so trying to get her as an alli. Aw it wasn't even funny, then she had the cheeck to grass me up for being 5 minutes late. Yes I was late and shouldn't of been bla bla bla, but she shouldn't shove a whole workload on me just so she can look busy and play the big "I am". Grrr
Think I may be seeing someone at the moment, he picked me up from a party Saturday night, and came back down again to see me last night :) i do really like him, he told me he liked me too, but I won't get attached because I want this summer to be about me if you get what I mean? it's proving difficult though :)
I'm slowly getting used to my hair, no-one recognises me, my tutor had to double look today, she was just like.. "woah" haha. I'll post a pic.
Well done Abbie on your first year results! You're not Brains for nothign you know :p
I got a 2.1 for my first year :D
Well done Abbie :cheer: , good to see you on here again.
It's lovely to hear you sounding happy Tannie.
I hope you enjoy your trip, Perdita, and don't have to see too much of your nemesis.
Sorry to hear about your work troubles, Katy.
Glad you managed to go the the funeral, Chloe.
Phew, I don't think I've missed anyone out :D, but sorry to anyone if I have.
I sitll cant believe my first year is over, its really sad as well to be back since Im back for sooooo long, and I wont see anyone from uni for ages, well Im hoping to see dan soon but dont know when that will be exactly
Congratulations Katy and Abbie, you've both done well.
Abbie, I'm hoping that I have to resit my second year at uni just so I don't have to graduate next July! I've missed a large chunk of assessment for a core module due to being ill, I don't know if I will be able to continue in the third year until I pass these assessments. Make the most of your second and final year, it goes too quickly.
Now that I know how quick my first year has gone I want to make the most of everything Im hoping next year will be really good since I have a house but I also hope I get to work hard and see dan at the same time, it will be really werid I know hes only a 10 minute walk away but Im so used to having him next door and him just gernally being really close
My trip to London was spoiled by me getting the flu as I was waiting for my flight from Germany, by the time I landed at Heathrow I felt awful and the two day conference is a bit of a haze of being drugged up with Beachams and Strepsils, evil Graham and I ignored each other for the two days which was just as well. At home now trying to rest up :sick: :(
I didnt have the best start to the day, I had a doctors appointment at 10 and woke up at half 9! Luckily I made it, but there was no time to search for an umbrella so I got soaked! And I mean soaked. The weather is lovely now, just like yesterday, I have no idea whats going on!
Im still trying to sort out my room, I own sooo much crap, I think i need a bin bag cos of this stuff I just dont know why I kept it, I think at the weekend I will have a proper tidy out
You all know I only got this new job 3 months ago but my Team leader is going on maternity leave in September, maybe for a year and they want me to replace her til she gets back.. I am shocked!! but so happy!!
Well done, Siobhan. You're obviously doing a great job.
hope you feel better soon perdy and congrats Siobhan
I been shopping today, the queues in town for people getting the new iphone were increible. Now done all my jobs so going to sit back watch telly and but my neil delamere dvd on later.
There was a massive fire at the paper mill last night. I panicked but mainly cause when i was 5 there was a fire at the pub next to me and i panicked than to. The flames and smoke were like woah! There were 10 fire engines, I'm not sure if they maybe called in Lothian fire service is well, Ambulance, 3 Police cares and 2 Police fans. The bridge has been cordoned off an so has the path where you could head up the high street. Everyone was heading along to North Queensferry to see it. We got asked to move the cars onto the pavements so the fire engines could get through. So both the parents went to do it and one of the fire engines came down and decided to try and get through a space that didn't exsist and nearly crashed into my car my dad was not pleased! There's a video of it on youtube already and it was a really bad fire! You could hear the cackling of the flames from alix's and she lives a good bit away from me! The fire engines may be staying there for most of the day cause they although they've got the fire under control it's precautions there using now. Exciting night for me last night. But i really hope they catch whoever done this, we know it's kids just don't know who. They know they're not meant to be playing in it! Obviously some people don't listen :angry: :rolleyes:
Sounds awful, glad you are ok though and that there were no casualties, but a lot of damage and still the risk of the fire starting again :(
I cant believe this is the summer and Im so bored already! Today is going so slowly!
Ive only been just a week and a day and I feel like im going mad. To be fair at uni I had ike 2 and half weeks of doing nothing anyway cos I finished my exams so early but at least at uni I had loads of people there and it just felt like I had stuff to do. Here Im bored, I go away 3 weeks on wednesday and I wish it would come sooner, If this is what its going to be like all summer I dont know what Im going to do
I am feeling very tearful which means I am running a fever, my thermometer needs a new battery and I attended a meeting this morning which involved me leaving home at 6.15 am to drive about 150 miles each way. I am feeling worse than I did a week ago when my flu started, supposed to drive to a meeting tomorrow around 300 miles (each way), not sure at the moment whether I can manage that :(
Sorry to hear you're feeling so unwell. It sounds like you need to concentrate on taking care of yourself, and not worry about work for a few days.

That's a long trek you've got tomorrow if you're feeling unwell. You may feel up to it in the morning but don't forget you have to sit through a meeting then drive all the way back. Can you do a conference call or is it quicker to fly there (not much use for tomorrow but for future meetings)?
Your workplace won't grind to a halt because you're on sick for the next few days. Take care of yourself and don't overdo it. Have an early night, perhaps aided by something to help you sleep, and some paracetamol to bring your fever down. I hope you feel better soon xx
take care perdita, hope your feeling better soon.
I had my first day at work today, the people are great just like they were before.
I need to find time to shop as well as i need to find something to wear for my grad next week, at the minute i have nothing.
I'm glad you had a good first day, Katy :)
My day has been fantastic so far... I have had 2 cakes (didn't eat them all), my daughter got me a lovely present with her pocket money and I am 20 mins away from 17 days in sunny Germany... so see you all on the 19th.. have a great 2 weeks and speak to all soon!!
xxxxxx
Have a fantastic time, see you again soon :)
Although I havent really done anything today, Im having a great day cos today Ive done some planning and I get to see dan 2 weeks today :D Just before I go on holiday as well =)

I'm glad you're having a good day, Abbie.
Aww, I didn't get to say "Happy Birthday" to Siobhan before she went on holiday :(
Send her a PM, she would pick that up in her emails, she is bound to look at them once in a while :)
Exams are over :D:D Now to be lazy until the end of September when I'm off to uni. Leaving party tomorrow and I'm still yet to organise what I'm wearing or transport haha.
Have lots of fun Kim, well done with your exams and gl with uni :)
Is it really sad that im more excited to be seeing my boyfriend 2 weeks today than going on holiday 3 weeks today? :p

Can't believe it's almost a week since I've been on here, but what a week it's been. Tommorrow is the last day of school before the summer hols and Marley is moving to the high school. I've spent most of the week with a wobbly lip. Monday she had her school dance were she was dressed up to the nines. she looked more like 15 than 11 then yesterday they had a special assembly at the church for them. They had a big screen showing all the kids photos from primary 1 to primary 7. I tell you I've been to less emotional funerals. and on top of that our office is getting decorated over the summer so we all have to pack up and clear out. I'm so stressed anyway Hello everyone, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIV XXX

Its been about 4 and half months, when I go to see him Im staying or 5 days, we decided to stay longer since its the summer compared to easter, its just werid to think that I'll see him and then and then when ever he visites me and then that will be it maybe till uni.
How come youve been down kirsty?
Yay Im happy now =) the dress I ordered from ebay arrived today!, I love it! Its fromt topshop and it was sooo cheap from ebay, Im really starting to love this site
I love ebay too, Abbie. I just bought a wireless router for a third of what Virgin wanted to charge me. Just be careful and read feedback before you buy.

Is it really sad that im more excited to be seeing my boyfriend 2 weeks today than going on holiday 3 weeks today? :p
Not at all! There are better things than holidays. :) Just as well, as I haven't been on hols for a while!

Awww Abbie :) well at least if that does happen and you don't see each other until Uni (I hope that doesn't happen) then the time you soend together now and when you see each other again will be like super special :)
...Just men, as usual. I was seeing someone, and we both agreed that we were taking things slow and bla bla bla, which we have, but we haven't been out properly togteher because he works all the time at the moment and he's so tired which is fair enough, i just miss him :( but the other night i rang, and we spoke for 5 minutes and he said he was in bed could I ring him back in like 10 mins, so I rang back a bit later, and a girl answered... i text him and told him to leave me alone cos I was just going to gte hurt (i was slightly tipsy) completely regretted that yeserday morning, he ame online and I said we needed to talk, so I explained my confusion.. turns out it was his best friends girlfriend, he had gone to get them kebab. I feel awful, I've apologised so much and he says don't worry, I don't know.. he's not the same. So I've just sent him a message this morning telling him that I'll give him space, if he wants to go back to how things were when his workload has calmed down and he knows what he wants then thats fine. bad times :(
Aw Im sorry to hear that Kirsty
Yeah thats true if it works out like that, I think its just I feel soo bored all the time and its kind of werid not seeing him everyday even if its not for a little bit
Kirsty :]
01-07-2010, 22:17
It's alright, it was only 2 weeks I guess. Yeahhh I get where you're coming from with that :/ it can't be nice, how far away are you from each other?
I've had enough of wisdom teeth aha! :( All they do is hurt me nowadays! On the positive side I'm seeing Aarron on saturday but have to explain my depression to him, and I am so so so scared about how he's going to take it. I know he'll be fine with it but I'm just scared i'm going to screw this relationship up :(
;721138']It's alright, it was only 2 weeks I guess. Yeahhh I get where you're coming from with that :/ it can't be nice, how far away are you from each other?
We're only about just over an hour, its just after my holiday Im guessing I will be working more and i need to learn dances, I know sometime in augaust probably after my holiday he'll come visit me, I just dont know if he'll want to see me again cos otherwise it will be end of september- god I must sound really annoying
I dont know I guess Im just finding it odd not being able to see him whenever I want and It will be werider next year cos this year he was next door and next he will be a 10 minute walk, I know thats not much but still
Kirsty :]
01-07-2010, 22:35
Of course he'll want to see you silly!!! :) It's not weird, it's completely normal, it's change at the end of the day... and no-one likes change.
Tannie, good luck, you'll be fine, if he wants to be with yoou he'll take you as you are :)
Lol I know he'll want to see me, i just mean after the me visiting me and then him coming to me, whether he'll want to meet up again, I know that he's going on holiday in september so that makes thing a bit awkward
It looks like Ive been bit and around my eye is swollen :(
Awww, dab some vinegar or lemon juice on it, should help with any pain/itch and bring swelling down quickly :)
Can't believe i've only just realised how much medication i'm on! Anti - Depressants, tablets for woman troubles and i'm also taking Hayfever tablets. That's like the most i've had to take since i don't know. Luckily they all work :D! Anyway I have a massive headache and it will not budge so think i'm going to bring the washing in and than head for a nap, considering it's peace and quiet in the house! :D
My cat is ill and might have to be put down soon :(
Oh no :( I am so sorry, I feel your pain, been there myself, not nice (((Dazzle))) hugs
how old is he/she and what is wrong
She's at least 14, so getting on a bit. She's got a big growth in her abdomen and hasn't been eating. She went for x-rays and biopsy today and I have to wait for the results. The vet's attitude wasn't optimistic.
awww, hun, sad news :( will be thinking of you xxx :)

On my own tonight, Marley is sleeping over at a friends. just watching Con Air with Nicholas Cage. One of the best films ever. The lecturers finished for their 6 weeks summer holidays yesterday 3 lecturers are retiring so they brought in cases of beer. drank 3 cans of guiness before 11 am then went to the pub until 4 :lol:
I have a stomach bug, so feel really really bad. Starting to feel sick again so thinking of heading for a nap the back of 6 cause I want to watch The 5 o'clock show as Paloma Faith's performing :D!
Awww, Tannie, I hope you feel better real soon xxx
Hope you feel better soon Tannie :)
These holidays are really driving me mad at the moment, all I want is it for to be next week already and it doesnt help that I have nothing really to do till then, Im just getting so bored and I wish I could go back to getting up really late so the days were shorter :p
I think Im looking forward to next week even more cos I know that I have 5 days with my boyfriend , then 2 days of sorting holidays stuff out and then im off for 2 weeks, so not only am I looking forward to seeing my boyfriend and holiday but then fact that I have 3 weeks of planned stuff and wont get bored
I really am going mad! And it doesnt help that the weather has gone crap so I cant even sunbathe anymore :(
Im just ehausted all the time after working, this full time malarky is tiring! enjoying my weekdns though, you appreciate them more when ye are working.
I wish I could have some sort of work for a week to keep me going!
Yay the bids are going up on ebay :) Im happy
I need to stop looking at the clothes on there lol :p
why dont you try and find some voluintary work to keep you entertained, theres a good website where you can find stuff by entering your interests and the times you want to work. I was going to do volunteerin in a prison last year until my mate said i wasnt allowed as when i was actually in the prison would have been the safest part of my day.
hope your not to bored today, im trying out the bus today as its cheaper than the train hopefully im not late!
Can you send me the website?
Im not so bored today, had my second driving lesson this morning, im going into town later and then babysitting so at least I have a busy day
I think I have a few days planned now, just firday and sunday to fill which is good cos Im getting really frustrated, only a week today till I get to see my boyfriend :D and 2 weeks till morocco
Yay the bids are going up on ebay :) Im happy
I need to stop looking at the clothes on there lol :p
Watch out Abbie - ebay can be very addictive, especially if you're bored, lol.

I went to Weston for the ngiht on Monday with 2 of my friends, it was such a lovely break... it was only a night, but I definately needed to get away :) we went to a few bars in the night, and the next day we went to see a Tarot card reader... she was so amazing, I am still shocked at how much she picked up on.
It was the second round of Tequila Tuesday yesterday too... what a messssssy night. I have never ever ever been in that mess. Oh dear haha

Sorry about that, tammy. What did we do before we all had computers and laptops but I would be lost without mine too lol
Watch out Abbie - ebay can be very addictive, especially if you're bored, lol.
Lol I know, Ive stopped looking to buy to stuff now, Im only going to sell, Ive got loads of stuff I want to sell I just cant be bothered to put it all on at once, its takes too long lol

Yeah, I have put quite a bit of stuff on there, only trouble is cos Im going away soon I cant but anything more on, have to wait till Im back so im able to send the stuff
"Can we pretend that airplanes in the nigh sky, are like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now" Ahh how this line currently sum's up my life. I'm feeling so cut off from everyone at the moment :( I want a hug and to be told everything will sort itself in the end, that this isn't the end, it's the beginning and I can get through this. I don't feel like it anymore tbh. All I seem to do on here is complain :thumbsdow I'm sorry guys.
(((Tannie))) Everything will sort itself out, Tannie, it always does in life :) And no, you are not always complaining, you are sharing your feelings with us, that is not complaining, so please continue to do so :)
Tannie - don't be afraid of sharing your feelings with us...I just hope it helps a little.
You seemed happy a few days ago; what's changed to make you feel so down?
I'm sending you hugs and hoping you're feeling a little better. :)
i am knackered! works really tiring, and then had a mega busy weekend, with my mates 21st and race for life which i was really happy about completing in 45 minutes. looking forward to my day off on friday where its my graduation and then my friends up from london for the weekend, only three more days till i can enjoy!
OMG Ive gone from being bored out of mind to mad busy!!!
I worked all weekend, did about 18 hours in the pub in total and then stayed at my friends for her birthday did lunch, driving lesson- work again had a powercut so I was working my candle-light, dancing today, packing now and back at work later and my friends want me to go out after work, I'll see what time I finish.
I really shouldnt have stopped to come on here cos im only going away for 5 days but I find that harder to pack for cos I cant take a suitcase with loads of options but a small rucksack, I dont know what I want to take!!!
Katy - well done for completing the race for life in 45 mins. I hope your graduation goes well.
Abbie - I'm glad you took the time to drop by :). Have a good time away.
Thanks, Im starting to get really excited for tomorrow now :p
Grrr right now I'm seething over something that I should let go off. My family are in the middle of legal proceedings, which some people believe are a load of baloney. Basically, one of my cousins was leaking confidential information to somebody who has been charged. Her excuse was "nobody can stop me from saying what I like." The things she said were enough to prejudice a trial. Anyway, she deleted all the family off Facebook. Last week I got a message from her boyfriend who I have never met and don't know asking if I'm going to her child's christening and who else is going because they need food numbers!! She's been more bloody interested in what dress she's wearing than the religious aspect, every day for about three weeks she posted different dresses and shoes asking people what she should wear. And what's more, she had a civil marriage ceremony!!
My mum has just sent me a message to say they're friends again on Facebook. She can take a running jump if she thinks she's adding me.
I really need to relax, my heart is going and I'm getting stressed. Little things to most people but with what's going on at the moment, it's so damn stressful.
I'm having really weird dreams :( Dreams that I've had before, a few years ago, but with a different ending. Maybe sometimes it's better to keep quiet and say nothing. Why cause pain and other people's secrets to be revealed at the cost of relieving one's own suffering?
Sorry to hear you are stressed, Abigail :( Your dreams have probably got different endings now because your life has changed too :)
Why am I up so early!!! Ive been up nearly 2 hours now lol! I know its cos I hadnt packed but it didnt take me long. I mean Ive been excited for today for about 2 weeks now and last week went really slow and I was bored but then since saturday Ive been so busy and its been good to have soemthing to do and earn money but now im up and just waiting around, my train isnt till 12
Sorry to hear you are stressed, Abigail :( Your dreams have probably got different endings now because your life has changed too :)
Today has been a better day. I had a lie in and I don't remember dreaming. I think my mum realised that she shouldn't send me emails late at night that are likely to wind me up. I know she was just telling me something and wasn't intending to upset me. I've been on a reduced dose of anti-depressants for the past week as I'm running low and can't see my GP for another two weeks. I'd rather take a reduced dose than be off them completely for three weeks. I can't wait to go back to my regular dose, it seems that I can't cope without them at the moment. What I need more than anything is some time completely alone.
We're moving 400 miles down south in a few weeks so we've been busy packing things today. We're having removal men who will do the majority of the packing (a perk of the armed forces, free removals) but it's a good opportunity to get rid of rubbish that just gets thrown in the cupboard. My back feels like it's been snapped in two. My room is done, my niece's room is going to be packed as far as possible tomorrow and then we'll start on my sister's room.
I'm so looking forward to going back to uni. Its going to be a busy year, I'm redoing some of my assignments that I didn't do well in because of being ill, I'm going to be on a job hunt and applying for a masters. If I can't get a graduate job then I will do a masters. The course I want to do is run by the MOD and is half an hour away from where we will be living in the new house. Although I'd prefer to live on campus I could live with my sister on a permanent basis. I've lived with her over the summer for the last six years so it wouldn't be an issue. My brother in law doesn't mind having me around, it gives him piece of mind when he has to go away knowing that he won't have to return home early because my sister is too ill to look after Maisie alone.
The boards seem to have perked up over the last few days.
The boards seem to have perked up over the last few days.
Yeah, I noticed :cheer:
Glad you're feeling a little better today, Abigaill.
im graduating tomorrow! who would have thought it!!! going to have an earlyish night after the silence as its an early start to go to bangor.
Works going well, in the routine now, still very tiring, i never thought filing and stuff was so physical, but im on my feet nearly all day and like squatting up and down getting files from the cabinets.
Congratulations on graduating, well done, Katy, you worked so hard!!! :cheer:

Well done Katie! See, all your hard work paid off :D I hope you ave a lovely day tomorrow, enjoy it! :)
I feel physically sick, I don't understand how people can be so twisted and vile. My head is so messed up, I don't know if I'm coming or going.
Work at 4, I lived off 2 hours sleep yesterday so I've enjoyd catching up on it last night and just having a laze about today :) I hope I gte more overtime, my car won't run off thin air :(

Hey guys. It's been such a long time since I have properly been on here. I dunno why I haven't been on. Just been a bit weird the past few months :)
Umm fill you all in on my life :D
Went to Magaluf in June! Was AWESOME! Best holiday ever - so far :p Went with my mates :)
Ummm me and bf good.. we had an argument on Saturday when we were out. But it's sorted now. Kinda. I'm still not 100% happy, but I just got to learn to trust I guess.
Ummm yeah I have to redo my Theory test.. because it runs out next week, and I have no money to do my test :crying: GOD KNOWS if I will pass that again this time lol!
Ummm yeah that's pretty much it!!
Anyone want to fill me in on life here?
By the way.. sorry about the photo comp, it was when things were kinda getting to me and I took a hiatus :p
It wasn't going amazingly well anyway. Didn't have many photos. Lol.
Hey Lea
I have just come back from holidays and it has made me more determined to move there next year. Starting a new job and tomorrow I am with my partner for 6 years so hope to plan something nice for our anniversary
Don't worry about photo comp although I think a lot more people are interested now as they have a few months before going back to Uni... Fingers crossed that you pass your test next time...
Other than that, life is pretty much the same, work, kids and sleep, Oh and my mum is 70 today!!!
Congratulations to Siobhan's mum on her 70th birthday :cheer: Good luck in your new job and all the best for your planned move :D
Kirsty :]
22-07-2010, 13:40
Leaaa! It's soo good to have you back!! :)
Wow, Happy Birthday to your Mum Siobhan! :) :)
Not much going on with me, i actually hate work, I need to get from there asap, my Assistant Manager actually hates me, I won't let her win though, and the new kids have more hours than me! What is that all about!? Thankfully I have a week off for my holidays this week, so it's all about relaxinggg!
Been spending some time with my friends mostly, after what I've heard in the past week.. you really can't trust everyone, and I am so thankful to my friends being there for me to support me and get drunk with me haha. If he EVER comes near me again though... I will be kicking him straight where it hurts, scum.
They're not all bad though, I went out on an actual date last night :) hehe, that sounds weird. It was a good night though, I really enjoyed it, I hope he did too...I'm just worried about the age difference, though I personally don't see anything wrong with it, others may.
What else? oh yeah...I 'm skint again! I really need to learn to budget haha! I have 2 jobs... and still no money! I've opened up a savings account... but still no money to go in there, I have to tax my car at the end of the month which obviously isn't happening, I was thinking of putting it off anyways because my car seriosuly needs work done to it, I need new tyres because mine are bald I think.. they have NO grip on the road in the rain, it's scary and unsafe.
Sorry about that long post guys, that's all my gossip done!
EDIT: Good luck in your new job Siobhan! :)
nice to have you back Lea!
I had a lovely evening after work yesterday went to the sailing club and helped out with the juniors barbeque, and today im off to birmingham to visit my auntie and nana. so that should be good. Also gettng my hair done as it despoeratley need it!

Good luck with the theory test Lea. Sounds like you've had a nice few months!
I've spent the day packing and feeling nervous about tomorrow. I've had a dodgy stomach all day. Is it normal to feel nervous about going on holiday? I'm quite scared!

Don't worry - it's perfectly normal. Have a great time :D

Had family and friends round Saturday for a bbq had bouncy castel everyone had a really good day......
My neice came to stay the night friday she still here think i better take her home today but she dont want to go home yet bless her.......
I'm an idiot. I came back to Stoke for a flying visit so I could see The One That Got Away one last time at our leaving do (even though he's now living half an hour away from my home address). He was there. I ignored him for the first hour or so. It was only after 3/4 bottle of red wine (yes, I know...) that he came up to talk to me. We didn't talk about what happened a few months ago. He's now running a pub so he said I should visit him sometime. I said I can't get there easily (which is true) so he said he'd come pick me up. At that time food arrived. He sat at a different table. Shortly afterwards, he said his goodbyes. I asked him if he was going my way, he said yes so I asked him if I could jump in. He said that was fine. Ten minutes later he said he only has one spare seat and he's picking his mate up from Derby. It was the first time he's called me by my full name.
I thought I was over him and I could deal with seeing him. He's lost weight, he's had a hair cut, he looks better than ever. And I've gone and fallen for him again. I know that we can never be together, for various reasons, but that doesn't stop me feeling this way. I just can't help myself.
However my leaving speech was rubbish, I forgot everyone's name, I was (admittedly) drunk and probably slurred my words.
I think I've sobered up enough now. I'm peckish. Moved into my house yesterday. I didn't sleep well at all, due in part to a single pillow and also being in a strange house. I went shopping today and bought six pillows so hopefully with all this alcohol and pillows I should sleep better tonight. I have an early start tomorrow, getting the 9am train home (cheapest time of the day to travel) because its my nephew's baptism on Sunday. I'm going to be godmother.
As I'm the first to move in, I raided the house for the best furniture :p I can't wait to move in fully in a few weeks. I'm thinking about giving a set of drawers to my housemate so I can have a comfy chair or bean bags in one corner. My wardrobes are huge, I can't even open the top cupboards because they're so high.
Oh and I've discovered a new computer room in the library with widescreen TFT monitors and the fastest systems on the network :D I've been here two years and only just found this room! I love discovering secret places.
You can't help who you fall in love with, even when you know you shouldn't :(
I'm glad you like your new house :)
Last night was a lot easier. It began to feel more like my home and I didn't want to leave this morning! After having the run of a whole house to myself, coming back to my parents' is difficult, especially as they still haven't given me a door key. We've lived here ten years, my sister has a door key (she has her own house), I have a key for my sister's house (which she gave me before she even moved in) yet my parents don't see the need for me to have a key. Its the principle of it that annoys me more than the practicalities. One of my main bugbears about living with my parents.

I hate auditors.. hate them hate them hate them (apology to anyone who is an auditor but you are making my job hell).. they are due in 2 weeks and I have a mountain of things to check, double check, make sure they have really been checked before they come.. I am so tired!!
Aww, sorry to hear you're so busy at the moment, Siobhan. I'd noticed that you've been quiet on here recently.

Took Marley to my nephews shop today. He had a couple of bookings and had arranged for a make-up artist to come from Motherwell to do the clients hair and make-up. Anyway one of the clients cancelled while the girl was travelling through so my nephew called me to see if Marley wanted a photo shoot done. Mas trip to New Look for clothes we didn't get home until almost 8 o'clock then heard on te news about the gas expolosion in Edinburgh. That is about a mile and a half from were I live. Marley's primary school is just along the road and round the corner is Asda were I do my shopping.
Bit of a problem here at work... There is a guy who comes over and asks questions looking for help , which I don't mind as we all need help occasionally.. but this guy then sends out email to the "higher up" people claiming that all the stuff I have suggested to him was his idea. This has happen on many occasions now and not just with me.. The main thing here is that we can't complain as we have no proof that we gave him the ideas.. (he only ever asks in person not via mail which we can trace) and because he has come up with these great idea, he is the golden boy!
How do I stop this? He is very sneaky as if I don't tell him, he complains that I am not helping the team and of course "higher up" people blame me... I am so annoyed with him on this particular occasion as I have volunteered my help to his team to get them up to speed.. it is not my job to do this and I am so busy with my own work but I made the time.. Just got a mail now with him taken all the credit.. What can I do?
Would you be able to speak to him about this? Would be best to clear the air, especially if you are not the only one providing him with "his" ideas.

Wwll Shiv I have two suggestions. 1 Take him into the stationary cupboard and giving him a dam good kicking. or 2 The next time he comes and asks for help be polite and say your a bit busy at the moment. Can he pop you an email on what it is that he is wanting to know. That way when he tries to take all the credit you have the evidence that he is lying. Pass this onto a couple of members of your team so you have more than one piece of evidence but don't let him know what you are up to.

Feed him with useless information so that when he passes it upwards as his own he will look like a fool
Thanks all.. kathy.. I like your suggestion 1!!
Alan.. like I said this guy is clever.. if I pass him useless information he owns up and says it came from me and I get the blame... it is how he approaches you, asks you a question like he is genuinely looking for help and you make a few suggestion which he passes off as his own.. A damn good kicking is in order.. but failing that, I will make sure in future he sends an email and I will CC someone else on it as he tends just to send to individuals and claim credit
That sounds like a good solution, Siobhan. You'll have to let us know if it works.
Perdy.. had a quick chat with this guy about his latest "idea" and asked him if he remembered me saying something on this a few days ago.. he said, as he modified what I said a bit (not much believe me) it is his idea as I didn't come up with this "final" suggestion.. I give up.. I am definitely going to ask him to request stuff in an email in future..
That is fair enough, Siobhan, go for it. He needs to learn the hard way, by the look of things. Kath's idea is the best, no kicking at work, any physical violence has to be outside working hours and the work place, otherwise you will lose the job, not that you really would do it, only feel like doing it, which is understandable :D

Eeep. Just realised how long it had been since I popped in to say hello! haha. hope everyone is goooood! :D
xx
Hi Hollie, missed you, good to see you here again. Hope everthing is ok with you :D
I've got a job. Its just cleaning for the next couple of weeks while their cleaner is on holiday but the money is ok. It was my first day today, bloody hard work for five hours solid. I've done cleaning before but never in a manual labour environment where men pee on the floor, don't flush the toilet and kick doors open with their feet.
I'm catching up on Home and Away tonight and just resting. Not sure what to do this weekend.

Abigail welcome to the world of the employed. Wait until you have to clean a stinky toilet with a hangover, if you survive that you can survive anything. Shiv your doing the right thing in asking for emails a bit of a pain I know but you can't let him take the credit for your hardwork. I had a similar problem at work a couple of years ago. I deal with about 10 training officers for the apprentices and I have to invoice them for training and assessments. We had some lads from one training provider who missed sometime at college. I would invoice the company and this one training officer would claim that he told the college in advance that lads would not be attending for one reason or another. I got wise to him and now if he tells me on the phone about any lad not attending I ask him to pop me an email so there is no confusion when invoicing. Nice to see you back Hollie.
Im back from my holiday! Morocco was really good, theres pics on FB for those of you that are my friend on there
I got back yesterday morning and I was already back to work tonight
Im do glad Ive been away cos it meant I could enjoy 2 weeks instad of being bored
Ive already planned some stuff I can do so I keep busy
I haven't posted on here in agees. Actually havent had any time at all. I'm much happier than the last time i posted in this thread :D! Been spending most of my time with Aarron when he's not down south. This has to be said sorry guys SEVEN WEEKS! Longest relationship ever and i know it's going to work :D! Not feeling to good today actually but don't know wether that's cause i'm hungry or haven't had enough sleep. Plan for today is just relaxing and than trying to find a top for tonight which will be bloody hard! But I know what i want to wear so it's all good. There's 4 of us heading out for a meal and than drink's after wards. I'm ready to kill my best friend though but that's a completely different story all together. Really looking forward to it :D

Glad to hear you have cheered up Tannie. What are you doing after the summer are you going back to college.
im back from my holiday as well, been to Northumberland for a week, the weather was great, only rained today and that didnt matter as we were driving home. Its a beautiful part of the world. I was really surprised, will def be returning to the north east.
just enjoying the rest of the weekend before work on monday. where no doubt ill feel like i need another holiday, its really knackering job which i really didnt think it would be.not like i have never worked before! ah well, its all worth it in the end. Had my stuff through for my course in september, got some pre work to do so im going to be busy i feel all the way through.
The North east is a great place
Me and my friend are going to book our holiday later =D
it really is Abbie! im gutted to be home to be honest have had such a great week! the poor dogs knackered now, think all the walking of the last weeks caught up with him.
Yeah i am Kath i'm heading back to do Business just don't know when I start haha :D! Ah I got so stressed out and annoyed at my best mate, it's really complicated but putting it simply she's leading her current boyfriend on, and it really got to me last night, even Aarron realised she was using him, and she just doesn't care, seemed really heartless over it all. I ended up snapping at her as soon as we got in the taxi and she realised how annoyed at her i really am, I don't know wether or not to tell her that i feel this way or what. Vause I know what she'll say but honesty is always the best opinon isn't it? :S

Second day of work tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. Its only for two weeks though and I need the money so I have to go. But I'll be counting down the days until next Friday when I finish.
I've had a lazy weekend which I've enjoyed. I caught up on some programs, I read the newspaper and the magazine cover to cover (which I rarely get time for) and I did some baking.
This week has been rather busy. I went to visit a medical school on Thursday, which I'll write more about tomorrow. Right now its time for a book and some sleep :)
ive bin in my job a month, got three weeks left, and im counting the days to Abigail.

The boards seem distant again lately :( we all pop in when we can :p I do love this place.
I have another job at Wetherspoonsss (seems as though I'm always at the place) I start sometime next week, and the manager was really lovely and showed me around, introduced me to people (ost I already know.. aswell as one guy that I actually worked with at Brantano) and she has said she will work their hours around my Brantano hours so I can get used to working there before I decide what I want to do, I'd like to keep both, because I like to work and all that jazz, I just hope it doesn't run me down too much. I'll still go to work a shift at the Commodore too if I'm ever off from the other 2 jobs. My friends say I'm weird because I liek working... but it's just in my nature, the thought of going back to College in September actually makes my tummy turnover. I hate the thought of being stuck in a classroom, stressing over deadlines for another whole year, can't I just work and work my way up? I'm much better at that :(
Anyways, I hope everyone is good, miss you all like crazy xxx
Kirsty.. think with everyone working or on holidays not many come on here.. I am lucky that I have internet access at work and they don't mind me been on here as long as my work is done...
Kirsty :]
10-08-2010, 11:29
Yeahh, we all work too hard :p haha, and all the lucky ones jetting off to nice sunny hot places, feel free to cram me in your suitcase anyone ;) have you had anymore problems with this idea stealing guy Siobhan? Punch him in the nose :)

don't even get me started on him.. i had another run in with him yesterday, not over idea stealing. We have same manager but different teams and I said I would help out his team on a new application we are going to be using soon. he came over yesterday and start telling me what to do.. I was helping him out, and I do not expect to be treated like this.. I said it to him, this is a favour and don't treat me that way.. he never even said thank you or nothing.. he is an ass, thinks he is the manager of everyone and it is very annoying to be around him
Kirsty :]
10-08-2010, 11:51
Ughhh, is there no-one you can write a letter of complaint to or anything? Personally... I'd just ignore him, the next time he asks for any help I would tell him to go elsewhere if he thinks it's okay to speak to poeple the way that he does becauese at the end of the day, you treat people how you want to be treated. People with a lack of respect and manners really really wind me up, you deserve a medal for not clouting him yet, I think I would've snapped.
nobody I can go too. he is golden boy for "his" great ideas and getting work done... the funny part is that our manager is really nice and was telling me how much she appreciates me taking time out to help her and the team.. I am working on an audit and taken over a new role... I have had to put up with this guy for nearly 8 years now but he still tends to get to me
Hey guys. I haven't been on as I'm staying with my dad's cousin and she doesn't have the Internet. Found free wifi in a pub so I thought I'd come on and say hi.
I think its safe to say Im back for the summer :)
I know that while I was at uni I started to spend less and less time on here to the point where I would only pop on once every fews weeks
But Ive got about 5 weeks of being at home before off on holiday for a week and then I'll be going back down to exeter :)
Ive been trying to post more :) catching up on loads of stuff and well this place is keeping me busy

Bloody hell Kirsty, you're a workaholic! :p
Not everybody is cut out for formal qualifications and its not easy to figure out what you want to do with life. Do you still want to be a speech therapist? Perhaps it would be a good idea to think seriously about what you want out of life and why you are doing your course at the moment. You seemed so happy when you started it. Dropping out of college is a difficult decision but if you're already dreading going back then maybe it's not the right path for you. Could you make a full time job out of one or both jobs that you have now? Would you be happy to do one or both for the foreseeable future or would you get bored eventually? If you finished the course, would the qualification give you a better chance of getting a good job?
I've been in my job since Friday now. Today was the first day I actually enjoyed it. I talked to my boss quite a bit today and he's actually a decent guy. The majority of the female clerical staff seem to look down their noses at me and don't say anything, its as if I'm just the lowly cleaner. The male managers and the fitters are always friendly though and will say hi and pass the time of day. One of the sales managers actually had a ten minute conversation with me, asking what I was doing and what I wanted to do after uni. He then got the number for the hospital mortuary manager from his previous company so I can get some work experience! This is a guy who I've never met and only knows what I told him about myself in those ten minutes. I was touched that a stranger could see my passion and go out of his way to do something to help. He text me last night to say good luck and he hopes he helped because I deserve it.
My body is in a really bad way though :( I'm laid in bed in pain from standing and walking around since 8am. To add to the pain, I can't sleep at the moment. I don't know if its because subconsciously I'm worried about oversleeping and being late for work or if I'm having another phase of insomnia.
Anywho, back to uni next weekend :D I won't have internet in the house for a few weeks so it'll be trips to the library, which luckily is only two minutes' walk. Final year, it's gone so quick. I don't want it to end.
I now have out 43 items on ebay lol :p I put some on monday night, some yesterday and now some tonight
Ive put quite a lot of ty beanie babies on there, I know it wont all sell, I just hope some of it does, especially some of the beanie babies!
Im selling 2 cecelia ahern books if anyone is interested?
I do love ebay, the only thing I dont like is waiting till the evenings to put stuff on there
Kirsty :]
13-08-2010, 00:47
I've been brought up around my whole family working for what we have, and working hard, so it's just rubbed off, whereas I know some of my friends grow up around education being the most important thng, to get a degree to get a good job. I guess it just works differently for everyone. They think I'm mad that I would happily work so much, and I think they're mad for sticking out Uni.. haha.
I couldn't be a speech therapist, I'm really not bright enough.
The only reason I was so happy with my course was all because of Adam, it was all for him. As soon as that "relationship" went downhill, everything at College did too because everything there is a constant reminder of him because the restaurant gets brought up a lot.
I want my own pub, so the possibility of working my way up with Wetherpoons is really appealing to me. It's definately possible if I put my mind to it, a guy I worked with at Brantano (who got me the job in Spoons) has been there 3 months and has already been promoted to a shift leader, when 3 months ago he hadn;t even pulled a pint, and all because he worked hard.
You need rest Abigail, don't wear your body out, or you'll never enojy your job, which makes the whole process more tedious xxx
Kristy.. I admire your attitude.. My dad was the same as you, start at the bottom and work up.. I am similar although I really enjoyed my college life too... every job I have done I have started at bottom and within month have been promoted in one way or the other.. For me uni was a lovely learning experience.. I love learning.. if you are not cut out for college life, then do what you are happy doing
Chloe O'brien
13-08-2010, 14:37
Kirsty you should be very proud of yourself that you are hardworking, and not sitting around on their lazy backside all day. Education wasn't for me I left school at 16 because I didn't wan't ito go to college or uni as I didn't know what I wanted to be. I spent 18 years working in a number of jobs before I decided to return to education to get a degree. I've never left a job on bad terms infact a couple of months ago I met an old boss who is in charge of this venue which hold concerts and other events. He is one of the directors. He asked me what I was doing I told him and he said if I needed a job I could have one anytime at his venue. Just because you don't want to be a speech theripst at the moment Kirsty you may change your mind in a couple of years, don't listen to what others say when they say your mad for working it will be a different story when they have no money and you do.
Kathy.. I was same as you.. I didn't go to Uni til I was 26.. at 16 I was way to young to decide what I wanted to be or do so I just did loads of jobs until I found one I liked
Kirsty :]
13-08-2010, 15:56
I've been through every job there is... physio, speech therapist, primary school teacher, restaurant manager. I just don't know... getting us to make our subject choices at 15/16 was really hard, expecially for the ones who didn';t know what they wanted to do, just seems so rushed. I would happily get up at 6 am for work and not get in until stupid o clock at night, to get up and do the same the next day. I feel so lost with all this career stuff lately.
On another note... I am soooooooo peeved off!!! I went to the bank just now to see if I could get a £100 overdraft just to tie me over until money starts coming in in 2 weeks from my 2nd job. Their reply: well you're not good enough for a £100 overdraft..... but we will happily give you a £1000 personal loan... Uhhhhh no thanks. Is that because they would pocket a ton of interest from me?
Yeah!! that is exactly it.. I have a permanent 500 euro overdraft and keep getting offered 10 grand loans (same day approved) from my bank.. sometimes it is so tempting but I know I will probably pay back twice as much and it will take years
Kirsty :]
13-08-2010, 20:29
It was so tempting, £1000 there and then, but I said to the bank worked, i don't need £1000 i would just waste it being a teenage girl, get myself into trouble and ruin my credit rating... which I do not see the point in doing. They wanted £52 something a month for 2 years. No thankyou.... if I'd have had that grand... it would've been gone well before then so I just saw it as completely pointless, all I needed was the money to pay a £70 bill haha x
I joined the gym today and swam a mile, so now I feel really good :)
Im so tired though and Im dancing in the morning
Its really werid how it just doesnt feel like the summer hols anymore, I think its cos Ive been back so long and the fact that I went away earlier this year but at the same time im enjoying it a bit more cos im busier now and even when im not, with this gym membership I can go to the gym when I feel and swim so I can keep busy

I'm back to work on Monday after two weeks off. Not done much as the wheather was rubbish. I could have sworn I asked my sb buddies to send me some sunshine? Awaiting the arrival of baby Skye she is due tomorrow but looks like she will be staying put for a few more days.
I shall be sending some sun over from Spain in a week!!! lol
Chloe O'brien
13-08-2010, 23:34
Well that's not much use is it. The schools are back next week. Holiday time will be over for Scotland.
Ok, I shall keep it there then :)
Its the weekend! i have had such a rubbish week at work im realy looking forward to it!
Going to watch my beloved Manchester City on Sky in a bit and then this evening head to my mates and stop over there for a bit.Maybe watch a film and have a catch up looking forward to it.

Kirsty :]
16-08-2010, 00:54
Who is Skye Kath? I'm confused haa
I'm in a pickle :( Spoons have offered me 25+ hours, and wondered how I would feel about handing my notice in Brantano... I'm for it if I'm honest, I feel liek I will get alot more out of Spoons, and it's weekly pay, and it's still the Hospitality Industry. BUT.... I don't think 25+ hours would work around College... but I don't even want to go back, but then I don't think my Nan woudl want me to ditch my college course and I don't think she would be too happy, which is rubbish because I want my family to be proud of me, but I don't want to be unhappy in doing so.... i feel liek I can't win haha and I need to talk to my Nan maybe?
EDIT: Nevermind Kath, I just read your earlier post haha, I hope baby Skye makes her appearence soon :)
You should talk to your nan kirsty, what are you doing at college kirsty?
My advice would be stick with college till the course is finish even if your not going to use the course in the near future, the only reason I say this Is I have a friend whos gone to a proper performing arts school near london and at college she did a business BTEC so if her west end dream doesnt happen she has something to fall back on, even though its really different, my other friend dropped out of her performing arts school and has nothing to fall back on apart from her GCSEs
Abbie, although I agree that college course is something to fall back on, I can also see Kirsty's point of view in this, why should she go back to do something that doesn't interest her, it will be a waste of her time and money. Kirsty, i am sure you Nan would be proud of you no matter what you do.. it is a tough choice you have to make but it is your choice. At the end of the day, your nan is not going to work for you so you should do something you like. It is probably just me and the way I am but I rather work for a pittance doing something I love then try do something I hate no matter how much money is involved
Kirsty :]
16-08-2010, 12:01
It's a Hospitality and Hotel Management course Abbie, so it's about what goes on in the environment I'll be working in, but I absolutely hate my course, not so much my course, but the tutor, who messes us all around and I don't want to put up with another year of that. Though I do see your point of having something to back me up. I'm not sure if I'll even get back in because I got behind and lost track big time last year. So I'm thinking, at the moment, to take pieces of everyones advice. Go to enrolment, and if they let me back in, stick it out, it's only one more year, and if they don't let me back in then I have no problem with going out to work and figuring out some way to work my way up because I love to do that anyways. I did briefly mention it to my Nan earlier, but I had literally opened my eyes haha, she didn't seem very happy, but told me to speak to her later... when i was actually awake haha
Nan are like that.. my mum wasn't at all happy when my niece dropped out but my niece said she wasn't learning anything, her tutor messed her around and it wasn't something she enjoyed doing..
Kirsty :]
16-08-2010, 13:00
Exactly, it makes it worse that I live with my Nan too, she feels like she is responsible for making me as close to perfect as she can to please my Mum and Dad, but my Mum and Dad don't mind, they're always telling me to just do what makes me happy.
I agree with your parents Kirsty, you have to do what makes you happy. I can see both sides of it, on the one hand you've only got one year left (less than a year as you'll finish around May/June) but if you're really not enjoying it, you're going to have a bloody hard year getting motivated to do the work. It's a tough decision, maybe you do need to enrol and see if things improve before you make a firm decision to leave college. You've got about four week of the holidays left so I'd take the job on the proviso that you can work your hours around college in September and perhaps drop a few if you do decide to stay. That does depend on if you feel up to doing a full time college course, working 25hrs, doing college work and still seeing friends.
Anyone in Portsmouth next week? I am heading over there for work but I am sure the evenings will be mine to do as I please.. will be there from Monday to Friday (well Sunday night)
Fuming :angry: The entire school is being put in for a Psychology remark. I kid you not.
Kirsty :]
19-08-2010, 18:07
Oh no Kim :/ why is that? did they tell you why? Did you haave any other exams?
Well done to anyone who got their exam results today :) now please make sure you get drunk :)
The results were low across the board and didn't make sense with the previous units. My units were AAAD and I find that very hard to believe. It's my strongest subject and that bought it down to a B. Also got a B in General Studies and A's in Business and Economics.
Its best that you make sure your mark is correct now rather than think later on that you should have had a remark.

21-08-2010, 01:28
Well done Kim great results. Kirsty your a hard working girl keep it up. The lecturers returned this week after a six week break and I'm already fed up with the sight of them. I have appretices returning to classes on Monday and I have no class registers created thanks to my line manager who hasn't updated the system yet, Most of the lecturers in the facultly complain on how he is in a job because I have to clean up most of his mess. And to give me even more stress and grey hairs. Marley has started high school this week. I need a hug.
Haven't been around in ages, my life's falling again, just lost a best mate and been told I am a "Immature Little Cow" don't see how. Apparently I made her feel Guilty for wanting to spend time with her mate, when I never. Didn't sleep properly, now feel like crap, and going to have to put on a fake smile. I can't trust anyone properly apart from a bunch of close mates and family and Aarron and everyone on here. But still, what she said was bang out. I wanna go and curl up in a ball and ignore her but can't :( :crying:
I am sorry Tannie that you are having a bad time with your friend :( But I think if she calls you names and accuses you of things that you have not not, she probably was not a good friend to you in the first place, otherwise you woul have been able to talk about how she feels in a calm manner. (((((Tannie))))) big huggs xxxx
sorry to hear that about your friend tannie.
ive been shopping today for my friend birthday. I bought her a really nice lipsy dress and i got one as well. I love it!

I'm a zombie already. 2 jobs is bloody hard work, I have SOOO much respect for people who have 2 jobs daily.. as well as lookign after a home and a family. I could never imagine it. Loving work though, worked the Saturday night shift tonight, apparently I was really thrown in at the deep end but it was fine :)
I also handed in my notice at Brantano today, but I am slightly confused.... I only have to give 1 weeks notice, but somehow that meant I would be finishing in 2 weeks which I was a bit annoyed at, and then the evil assistant manager was complaining at me that I'd leave them in turmoil for "back to school" and so I said that seems as though there was only a week left of it, I may as well had worked it. So now... I've somehow been roped inot an extra 3 weeks of work, when I gae a weeks notice.... surely that's not right. I will not function properly and I'd rather be able to work properly than be a slurring mess. I worked 10-5 today at Brantano, then 7-2 at Spoons, and I'm up again tomorrow to be back at Brantano for a 10:30-4:30 shift.... :| eeek
EDIT: Just a quick note to say that I do realise how fortunate I am to have 2 jobs, when people have homes to run and families to feed and can't get a job... which now makes me sound incredibly spoilt and selfish :/

EDIT: Just a quick note to say that I do realise how fortunate I am to have 2 jobs, when people have homes to run and families to feed and can't get a job... which now makes me sound incredibly spoilt and selfish :/
You don't have to work anything past your notice period as stated in your contract. If it states one week, you don't have to work the extra two weeks. Its not your problem if they will be in turmoil, they will have to cope. I wouldn't have thought one person leaving would land a company in turmoil so I think some emotional blackmail is going on. They cannot force you to work past the first week's notice and cannot give you a bad reference for doing so.
My mum is spoiling for a fight again. I cooked myself so meals for the freezer and this is a terrible thing because I never cooked for my parents at home and that means I don't love them. Nothing about providing for myself with my own money and house, just the huge leap between cooking for myself means I don't love them. *shakes head* I'm not sure I can be bothered with this yet again. She complains when I cook at home yet when I don't it means I don't love her.
She's in a mood because I asked her to stop making silly juvenile comments about me on facebook. She doesn't make them about my sister (bringing her into the "argument is low, even by your standards"). I feel like writing a reply to her email but it will only fuel the fire and give her more ammunition. It would also wind me up to the point where we won't speak for a while.
I think some housework is needed to get this anger out.

so I am in the UK this week, came over to do training with the girl I am replacing as manager cause she couldn't travel as she is 8 months pregnant.. or so I thought... she gave birth on Sunday night at 11pm so I have had no training, am in the middle of an audit over in the UK away from my kids but I am so happy for her that it doesn't matter.. No clue what I am doing but hey!! if the place falls apart, I am just the new girl :D
Welcome to the UK, Siobhan. Whereabouts are you? Sounds like you're coping cheerfully with being landed right in it :)

Ughh...that sounds terrifying :eek:
I've been round to a friend's this evening. Three of his kids were there as well as the mother of his youngest. Well to say I've learned a few things about my friend is an understatement! I'm not quite sure what to believe, especially considering his profession and nature. However, I haven't known him that long so I guess I don't know him as well as his ex-mistress (no other way to describe her, its complicated). She was lovely though and I hope I meet her again.
Ah time for sleep. I hope I sleep better tonight than last night. I was awake more than I was asleep and I'm so tired. I've had a few glasses of wine so I can feel my brain shrinking too.

Awww congratulations Kath! :)
Just a quick question, how would anyone react, if you were kind of seeing someone... I think? and this was said to you: "well all you seem to do is moan, and it does my head in so I'm nasty to you to try and shut you up"... just out of curiosity... :)
I would stop seeing that someone :)
;726319']Awww congratulations Kath! :)

Thank you for all your wishes. Skye is adorable. Shiv do you have a visa and have you had the proper injections to travel across the water. :D Kirsty after I had kicked him in the conkers leaving him in rolling around the floor in agony. I would tell him to take a hike.
he he.. there is loads of Irish and Scottish over here now... it is like a celtic invasion :lol:
Congratulations on the birth of Skye, Kath. Its a wonderful name, very bright and cheerful.
I've started my dissertation. I'm really struggling to find background information that I can use as a credible source. A lot of the journals I need aren't subscribed to by the university. Its starting to annoy me and I feel quite alone. I can't find any research that combines both aspects of my project, only stuff relating to saws and even that is about cut marks not ease of sawing. I have no idea how I'm going to go about the second part. My research lecturer will obviously know all of this stuff as he was the one who suggested it, however I don't think its a good idea to go and ask him for all the answers after two days. I think I'm going to have to cut some things out or I will never get this finished within nine months.
I foresee myself having no life between now and June 2011. I'm also redoing a level 2 module as I wasn't well enough to do all the assessments. I just feel so... blah over it all and I haven't even started the third year yet. I think tomorrow I need to do a flow chart of everything I need for my project. Maybe that will help me visualise it all better.
My Psychology remark finally came back today (my friend got hers last week!) Went up 18 marks, so now have AAA. Well happy :D

Sitting in the departure lounge at Alicante this morning, I noticed a young woman sitting two seats away from me, very tired and sleepy. She had a RyanAir Boarding Pass printout in her hand. She appeared to be fast asleep and the flight next to my gate was called and peeps boarded. I did not know what to do but as this was a RyanAir flight, I felt I should draw this lady's attention to the flight being boareded. She was fast sleep and after the second time I gently woke her up, she took her luggage and proceeded to join her flight. I am glad she did not miss the flight and that I did not get into trouble for waking her for a wrong flight lol
Just got a letter from my school saying that my AQA Baccalaureate result has increased to a distinction :) Going for a meal tonight for someone's birthday.
