today i helped my gran buy a mobile phone, that was fun haha! really need to start my essay, its due on monday!
Not more deaths :( Sorry to hear that Siobhan.
Although, we've had a new principle since September and I haven't seen him yet.
This is my 4th year in college.. I still haven't seen the principal lmao!
I'm going to Bath and Longleat with college next week. Going to be aweeeesome :D Can't wait.
Don't get lost in Bath. I did :ninja: It was really embarrassing since I don't live that far from it :lol:

OMG, that is so sad.
My heart goes out to them all, poor wee motherless children.
I just cannot get over how much bad news there has been in the past two weeks.
What the f**k is up with the Grim Reaper that's three young mother's in the last couple of weeks who appeared to be healthy just dieing it's so wrong. It's just so sad and scary.
They say bad luck comes in threes. Hopefully this will be the end of it.
The racism talk went well. Was rather fitting that an hour after it ended there was a BNP supporter on campus shouting racist things :rolleyes: Was nice to see a few people from NUS again, who are now on Block of 15.
I'm so tired. Just had a shower so I'm going to attempt an early night. Probably won't sleep much, got things on my mind. I remembered something from last Wednesday night. I don't know what it means, it's rather worrying to be honest. Then there's my very depressed friend, another friend who is having problems that I haven't seen properly for a few days and my own troubles. My life is one big stress at the moment :(
Yeah big colleges are better, I think mine has about 4000 people at it. Something like that...it does evening classes too, courses for adults etc.
Although, we've had a new principle since September and I haven't seen him yet. :lol:
Thats what my college it like
Im so sorry to hear that Siobhan :(

I so hope things get better for everyone soon :(
I got insured for a car today... I crashed it today.
I feel so stupid. Everything is such a mess lately, I don't knwo what I've done tothe big guy upstairs but he's really got it in for me lately.
Aww, Kirsty, I am sorry. How bad is the damage? How did it happen? But that is what you have insurance for, most people will have an accident at some stage if they drive a car. :)

I am having a lazy evening, just going to watch telly, think i eaten too much chocolate i feel slightly sick.

Yeah I'm fine, I just feel so stupid. I crashed into a parked car! And there was a woman sat in there, ugh.. I chipped her paintwork a little bit and the rim came off her tyre.. I dented all the side of my car, and now the door hardly opens and completely bent the steering rack so I need a new one, I wouldn't mind.. but the car is originally for my cousin who hasn;t passed her test yet so I had it to get myself to and from work and dancing and school and would give it back when she passed her test, I feel so guilty.
It happened because I stopped to let my friend out to pick her car up (this was in the school car park), but when I stopped I had jsut turned the corner, so that mixed with no power steering and me being a complete weakling... I couldn't turn the wheels in time and the accelorator is really powerful.. resulting in me crashing. But cars are objects which can be fixed..lives are priceless and can;t ever be replaced so I'm so glad no-one was hurt... it could've been so much worse. I could've been on the roads or something.
Anyways, end rant.

Glad your okay Kirsty and hopefully the damage won't be too expensive to fix.

Aww no, well we all make mistakes when we first pass the test.
Went out to the opening of an exhibition at the British Museum today. Was quite good. Went out to eat then my dad thought it would be good to get a cab back. London's pretty lighted up at night. :D
Got all ready to go out... got down the path outside my hall and I can't do it. What's wrong with me? Why can't I go and enjoy a night out with friends? I feel so panicky and short of breath. I'm scared of having so many people around me. So much has happened in the past few weeks, I've dragged several years of memories up and I just can't cope with it.

Abigail may be you need to find your confidence back slowly try and go out with one or two friends first then get used to being in crowds, don't give yourself a hard time, whatever is upsetting you, you can overcome.
I agree with Kath, ease up on yourself. You have been working really hard lately, what with the elections and so. Just see a couple of friends at a time for now, you will soon be the star of the party again.
I am excited, Manchester United are playing City to day, i know we are probably going to get a pasting by them but i still believe we can do it! sad and pathetic isnt it really, we havent a chance. Ah well, Come on you blues!!!
Listening to Lisa Hannigan while trying to revise, its a really good cd. i went to see her last week in Manchester, her first tour since she was sacked by Damian Rice. It seems to get better everytime i listen to it.
Whoever said a guy and a girl can't just be friends was right :ninja: Had a really awkward conversation yesterday with Sam about how we feel about each other. I wrote something on Facebook (can't remember what it was) and somebody interpreted it as me being madly in love with him.
He told me a few weeks ago that he liked me before he got with his ex girlfriend last year then went off me. Yesterday he confessed that he's always liked me. I have no problems with that, I've never felt anything more than best friends. Oh, and he's always wanted to sleep with me, still does and intends to do so.
I stayed at his again last night. Nothing happened really, apart from the massage this morning that I instigated because my back was actually hurting. It wasn't a euphemism.
Sleeping with him would either change nothing or change everything. He wouldn't go out with me on Friday night because we both knew what would happen. Something has happened in the past week or so to change how we feel about each other. Maybe it's all the emotional stuff we've been talking about :searchme: It's been a pretty heavy couple of weeks.
So the point of this is... why didn't I see this coming?
Sugar :hmm:
Not sure what I'm doing today. Got a couple of dvds to watch before they go back tomorrow.
I forgot to add, 7 posts until I'm tangoed :crying:
Awww come on!! you know you want to join the tangoed club :p :D
Made it to work, despite having been up until 2 am with a stomach bug. :sick: Seems to have got rid of the virus I have had since coming back from my holiday though, as I have stopped coughing and spluttering all the time. Can't see me sticking it out all day in the office though, might work from home this afternoon.

My 7000th post :hmm:
Not a happy one :( So much drama. Seems it's over for good this time. I'll just have to live with what I've done.
Going home this afternoon. I really need a break from here.

Man what a busy couple of days I've had painted my bedroom at the weekend, busy at work full-time students going out on work placement so had to finalised details for them all. Going to see Marley in Oliver Twist in the school play tonight.
Oh No Abigail you've been TANGOED :crying:
I don't look right being orange :crying:
You look as beautiful as always, you will get used to it, I am sure :)
Well done on 7000 posts :D
you look fine tangoed :p

Congrats on becoming orange Abigail :D
I only have 2 days left until I leave school for good. It's gonna be sad finally leaving. But I got my leavers ball on Friday night which should be good. Then I have exams, and 17 weeks off until I start uni hopefully..
17 weeks off? Sounds great :D I'm bored already after two weeks and seeing as I can't work, I'm struggling for things to do. Have you got any plans?
My life is falling apart at the seams. Came home for a break only to listen to my sister and mum arguing. The whole me/Sam/Ash situation blew up last night. Ash is going back to Pakistan tomorrow, he doesn't want to move in with us because of Sam's mood swings. I'm gutted to be honest. I was really looking forward to us living together. I have somewhere to live but it won't be the same.
There's been so much going on recently, individually and collectively. Me and Ash don't talk about things, just blow up when it gets too much. I came home to get away from the stress and I walked straight into another stressful environment :rolleyes:
I don't understand it. The weekend was so much fun. Friday night realising that there was something between me and Sam, talking about it on Saturday, things happening on Sunday morning then going to Birmingham. I think about it and how happy we all were and how unhappy we are now. It was destroyed literally in the blink of an eye.
I'm going up to Newcastle on Thursday. I need space, to walk along the beach in the rain, to write, to just to think things through. I never thought this would happen and I'd be alone again. The way I was nine months ago.
I just want to talk to him but we both need a few days to cool off. In a way it's worse than him dying. Being there but not being able to talk to him. I hate it :(
I do apologise for my morbid, depressing posts of late.

Abigail you know we are all here for you and talking about stuff that upsets you maybe a few days away from Sam will clear the air and give you both time to breathe. It's a shame that the house sharing is up in the air. Would you and Ash not consider sharing a house without Sam.
I want to live with Sam. It makes so much sense, we're together pretty much all the time. Some nights I even stay over at his (he only lives downstairs) because we have so much to talk about and like the company. We live in each others pockets. It's not always healthy but it works for us.
I don't know Ash that well. I know his background, enough to know he's a decent guy and someone I could live with. It's not enough for me to want to live on my own with him though. We are getting to know each other more as the weeks go by and I'm sure when the time came to move in, we'd be fine. He's a very solitary person, he likes to spend hours on end drawing, listening to music and thinking. All of which are fine but I would like somebody to have a conversation with occasionally.
It'll figure itself out I guess.
Things change as well in my housecthere is onlybtwo of us going to live together nxt year. We kind if grewcapart over the year. I have got my first exam tomorrow. Its criminal law. I getting a bit scared now I just need to look over it. I'm sure it will be fine. I got 58 out of 100 in an assignnment so dead churced bout that.
Been to the hospital today. Think I made the wrong decision, not sure I should go ahead with it.
Really wish I was back at uni. I can't cope with the constant arguing and lack of private space. I'm so used to shutting the door and listening to music when I have things on my mind or going for a walk but at home I just can't do that.
Good news for a change. My friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer late September last year has had loads of chemo and radio therapy thereafter and celebrated her last radio therapy on Tuesday with a bottle of champagne. She says Life Is Great, her hair is growing back rapidly and she is just happy. So am I and of course her family and other friends. :thumbsup: :cheer: We all believe that she has beaten the illness although confirmation will obviously take a little more time.
Thats good news Perdita :D

Aw that's great Perdita :D she must be so happy right now!
Drama exam went well today thank god! got some more pictures with people and with Mrs Eulert (fave teacher ha) and at dinner time i went up to the science department where my form is with a friend, and me her, another 2 lads, mrs eulert, mr nearney who is my form tutor, mr fowler and mr simpson were running around the prep room (where all the younger years think they aren't allowed to go; which we're not really but lately we've been in loads lol; so a group of year sevens were stoof looking rather shocked at our childish behaviour - some role models we are!) and the rest of the department firing these huge foam rocket things at each other that they had gotten from Alton Towers. it was soooo funny, them lot are mad heads! if our headteacher or any SMT had of come up we would have been in so much trouble!

Sorry to be so happy lmao, but I've had a veryyyyy awesome week!!!!! Been in Bath from Tuesday until Thursday. With the college, was amazing. Wednesday was the best day, went to Longleat safari park in the day, which was awesome, then in the night we got sooo drunk, was funny... though of you who have me on facebook should check out the pics and videos lmao :p. Then we went back to one of our rooms, and everyone apart form me and one mate wanted to sleep, so we went for a random walk around Bath, and got in at like half 6.. up at half 7 ha, we went to Mcdonalds at 5 in the morning lmao. It was really random but great :p. And well travelling home Thursday really, but was still awesome!
Then worked today, which was great, cos of the guy I like haha! Can't wait for tomorrow now :D.
What's happening tomorrow? Spending more time with the guy? :p
I remember my last day at school. Emotional. Then I spent the day along the river bank with friends and got sunburn.
I'm in Newcastle for a few days. I can't seem to settle anywhere, maybe it's because of the big change coming up in a few weeks. Everything was perfect until Monday night. Well not perfect but it was going good compared to three months ago. Amazing how the foreseeable future changed in the space of a minute :( I guess that's life though. I give so much and still it doesn't make me happy.

Abigail you will be fine and things will sort themselves out. It's going to be hard going home and living by your parents rules again but that's because you have left home and become independant but it's only for a couple of months so hopefully the whether will be fine and you can get out in the sunshine and put the last few weeks to the back of your mind and enjoy the summer.
Had the exam yesterday which was awful! I got two and a bit hours in and my writing had gone to pieces I was so tired. Hopefullly next week will go better. Snowed under with work hence the stupid hour I am up at. I forgotton what sleep is at a normal hour.
I have had a nice day though chilling at my mates bit of headspace before this degree sends me insane.
That's great to hear about your friend perdy

It was my last day of school todayy! It was sad, but we all went out otnight and it was soooo much fun :D I'm rather drunk! But still ahah... someone I didn't want to see turned up and brought thw past back up, grr why did he have to do that!?
Update on the guy in work lol... we've been texting quite a bit and we was going to go out for a drink yesterday but he got stranded at his friends house far away so we couldn't :(
;659959']But still ahah... someone I didn't want to see turned up and brought thw past back up, grr why did he have to do that!?
That's what guys do. Just when you think it's over and you've moved on, they come back and mess things up again.
The guy who was harassing me, Lee, told his girlfriend that we had sex :eek: We never did and I never would with him. They broke up so that's another relationship I've apparently sabotaged. I don't know why people seem to think I'm a slag who sleeps with anything that moves and splits people up :confused:
Men... just not worth the hassle. :D
Ahhh Abigail now that you are tangoed everytime I see your name I think its me :p :lol:
I had exam yesterday my first resit, I dont have another exam till 1st June now
We break up for half term next week
The college says we dont get study leave but after half term most teachers are giving it to us
Ahhh Abigail now that you are tangoed everytime I see your name I think its me :p :lol:
I'm still getting used to it myself.
How did you exam go?
lol
It was a good exam oddly, I had a great essay question, the best they could have given me :D And I didn the text analysis in the paragraph order my teacher suggested :D

Well done on the exam Abbie glad it went well for you. I finsihed painting my room only have two more rooms in the house to paint then I'll do the ceilings and gloss the surrounds.
Abbie is lucky. I have exams tomorrow and Wednesday :( Then my Economics isn't until the 3rd June or something.
I have a massive gap now till June 1st
Few days of relaxing then and back to the books at a steady rate.
Good luck Kim, I'm sure you'll do fine. Are you in your first or second year?

17-05-2009, 12:00
Ughh I don't feel well :( but I'm not ill enough to not go to work.. I think part of it is nerves actually. I'm driving the car to work today, I haven't drove since I crashed it.
Plus I just have a feeling there's going to be some weird sort of "tension" in work today... lol. I'd jsut like to know where I stand basically! Blimming men.
It is normal to feel a bit iffy driving again after an accident, I am sure you will be fine. See how it goes at work,things will become clear soon enough :)

A day of revision for me (n) RE and maths gcse tomorrow!
I hate family law! I am feeling the fail already. Ah well it's not the end of the world if I fail. Just expensive!!
OMG!!!! I forgot to say- our car broke down on friday
My parensts say the cars not worth getting it fixed cos its something to do with the engine!
So that means Ive had to get a friend to take me to work later
And next week I can either get the train or bus to college, and then I might trying cycling to work next week.
My mum said its a good job we have already paid for our holiday cos otherwise we might not be going cos in half term we are gonna have to go buy a new car
Its just our typical bad luck :rolleyes:
I'm so depressed :( I don't think I can go back to uni in September. There's nothing there for me. How can everything be so perfect then just fall apart in the space of a few days? The one person I need isn't contactable. I rely on him too much and now it's over. For both of us. There's nothing left.
I just want to shout and scream but I can't. I look around and see so many happy people and wonder why I can't be like that.
Abigail, there is always something left, you just don't see it at the moment. I am sure that come September, things will have sorted themselves out. If not with the one you want right now, then with somebody else. Just think back, not all that long ago you were missing somebody but moved on once you realised that he was wrong for you. We have to kiss a lot of frogs until we find our prince and you are young and clever enough to do so :)
He never meant anything to me, not as much as Sam. All he did was bring me down and make things difficult for everyone. I don't feel anything for Sam, it's not about that. All the nights we stayed up or I stayed over recently, we'd talk about me and it brought a lot of stuff up that I'd rather not remember. I felt comfortable telling him those things because I knew he understood.
It's not about being in love with him. I'm not, I've never felt anything like that towards him. He's the type of guy I want to marry and have kids with. Everything about him I love but I don't love him. We can never be together.
It's not even about him. It's the stuff I never dealt with four years ago and still can't now. Not on my own.

I dont think we can thought, if our car is broke
The Government has attempted to kickstart the ailing motor industry by introducing a "cash for bangers" car-scrappage scheme.
Anyone with a car registered before 31 st December 1999 will get a cash incentive of £2,000 to trade in their old vehicle for a brand new one.
A total of £1,000 will come from the Government and the remaining £1,000 from car companies, with participants being able to buy any new vehicle, including small vans up to 3.5 tonnes, rather than just low-pollution models as had previously been suggested.
About £300 million has been put aside by the Government to fund the scheme, which is expected to come into effect as early as mid-May (18 May 09) and will last until March 2010 or when the money runs out, thus enabling 300,000 consumers to benefit.
The car being scrapped must be registered with the DVLA to a UK-domiciled registered keeper making the application. The vehicle must have a current MOT certificate and have been continuously registered to the current keeper for at least 12 months immediately before the application.
Dealers of participating manufacturers will do all the paperwork and arrange for the vehicle to be scrapped.
The new car must be of UK specification, registered after the UK car scrappage scheme has been implemented and it must be first registered to the same registered keeper as the old car.
Does not state anywhere that the car must be faultless :)
my dads thinking of doing that with his car, although he is not too happy about it as he quite likes it, yet still wants to sell it! its like a hobby he is always after new cars.
i have my exam this afternoon! Oh Dear! as long as i remember the history or Domestic Violence, how the law copes with abuse of children and how they take children away from there parents, be sure not to get suicidal i shoujld be ok, but if its anything like the last exam then i am not holding out much hope. I really should have more motivation at this stage!
Abigail, im sure things will get better for you, there is a long time between now and going back to uni and there is always the option of transfering, its not that difficult to do i know many who have done it. Hope things get ok soon
Good luck with your exam, I am sure you will be ok. :)
Few days of relaxing then and back to the books at a steady rate.
Good luck Kim, I'm sure you'll do fine. Are you in your first or second year?
I'm in Year 12.
That was awful! My mind went blank again. Ah well there's not slot I can do now. Just wait and see what happens.

handed my last essay for this year in last monday, which is so good to have no more work left to do! im dreading the marks back for this module though, im just hoping i pass but its annoying cos ive done really well in all my other modules this year and ths one is gonna bring my mark right down! :(

The 'bangers and cash' scheme descended into chaos hours after its launch yesterday as Ford and Honda halted deliveries.
The top-selling manufacturers refused to register any new cars under the scheme after a row broke out over who should pay VAT on the vehicles.
It means thousands of motorists will not receive the vehicles they have been promised under the Government initiative until the problems have been sorted out.
Under the scheme, unveiled by Alistair Darling in last month's Budget in an attempt to kickstart the ailing motor industry, the owners of cars and small vans more than ten years old will get £2,000 off the price of a new vehicle when scrapping their old motor.
Half the cash is provided by the taxpayer and the rest by the manufacturer.
But the Daily Mail revealed on Saturday that the initiative had already hit problems because of a blunder over paperwork.
Car makers said it would be impossible to deliver the vehicles on time because they had not been given details on how to register the cars correctly or who should scrap the old cars.
They also said it was unclear whether dealers should share the cost of the discount and VAT on the price of new vehicles.
The embarrassing setback came after Gordon Brown and Business Secretary Lord Mandelson claimed the scheme would be 'very popular' as they launched it at a Nissan dealership in North London.
'We expect about 300,000 people to take it up,' Mr Brown said. 'It's also going to be a great help to the British car industry and it is part of our programme of getting the economy moving forward.'
However, within hours it emerged there were major disagreements between car makers, the Department for Business and HM Customs and Revenue.
Ford said ' administrative issues' needed to be resolved, while Honda said its dealers had been told not to register any cars until there had been clarity on 'a number' of issues.
AA president Edmund King said it was ludicrous the hitches had not been sorted out before the launch but it still fully supported the scheme.
Last night, the Department for Business said the Government had contracts with the manufacturers, who were responsible for paying half the £2,000 discount, as well as VAT of 15 per cent, which should be added to the price of a new car before the reduction was made.
It said the problem was that some manufacturers were still trying to resolve issues with dealers after asking them to share the costs.
No wonder the country is in the mess it is in if the government can't even get these issues sorted before commencing this scheme. Probably too busy thinking up ways of conning the taxpayers into paying more private bills for MPs :rolleyes: :angry:
OMG, I have missed my 7000th post, only just now noticed that I got tangoed. I quite like it :D
I've just noticed too!! Congrats, only a couple of days after me.
Not done much today. Going home tomorrow then uni on Saturday/Sunday to pack my stuff up and sort a few things out. Then back to Newcastle Monday night. Hopefully see an old friend before Friday.
Well turns out our car isnt old enought and I dont think that my parents would go for that scheme, its still too much since you have to buy a brand new car.
Welcome to the tangoed club perdita :D Like DM said, we are the best

I'm so tired it's unreal. Had a shower an hour ago and can't move now. My body hurts and is calling out for sleep.
Looks like I'm going back to uni tomorrow night or Friday morning because it's bank holiday on Monday and nobody will be around to sign a form. Five days messed up for one signature :rolleyes: I really don't want to go back, I left on a bad note and nothing's changed.
Seems busy on here tonight :)

Aww, hope you're feeling brighter soon!
I know what you mean about the tired thing tho, only done 5 exams this week and i'm soooo tired. No more till June 1st though now! (:
Don't need to go to school tomorrow as there is nothing to revise for, well where we can go anyway, so going in on friday for Science, although we probably wont end up revising, we'll be running around the department with the teachers again firing foam rockets at each other like last week!
And I know this is a realllly random comment, but I was thinking earlier, I haven't seen Jodi around here for a while "/
Are you on study leave now Hollie?

Ahhh I've had a good day :)
Met my cousin (Mums Nephew) who came to visit, I don't remember him at all but he remembered me as an 8 year old ahha so that was nice :)
Then I went to this shopping outlet with 2 friends and bought a pretty dress lol, which was really fun.
Then my Mum took me out driving and made me take her to Asda and park in different places and drive random places to get used to it... which I am now :)
EDIT:...still don't have a clue where I stand though, but I can deal with that I guess.
Why don't you ask him if he wants to go for a drink or catch a flick? You could arrange to go with a couple of mutual friends then it doesn't seem like a date.
I was on the train earlier and we stopped at Durham. There was a very good looking guy waiting to get on and I hoped he'd sit next to me. He did, he'd reserved the seat next to me. Only trouble was I couldn't look at him because he was so damn fine. That and he was trying to sleep :rolleyes:
Kirsty :]
20-05-2009, 22:39
Well he asked me to go for a drink, jsut us 2 but then got stuck somehwere so couldn't make it.
However, I think we've crossed the date barrier... Haha happy days eh?
Haha awww bless, I would've taken a picture while he was asleep lol
Suggest the drink again :) You never know, he could be the one. Don't waste the chance. He can only say no.

Ooo that's strange lmao.
And kinda yeah, we keep getting told at school that we do not have study leave and there is no official 'standing down' of year eleven pupils but we don't actually have to go in on the days when we don't have exams unless we tell are subject teachers that we are doing so for revision, which is what me and a friend are doing tomorrow for science.
That stupid girl is back in my house!!!!!! Go home! She gets to me so much and I have my final exam to orrow so that's good. Then just a dissertation proposal to hand in. So busy busy for couple of weeks then nothing!

Today I actually havea day off so I'm doing my school stuff, cleaning my car and chillaxing.

Probably stress with exams and coursework (can't remember if you're still doing exams).
Been sorting my finances out today. Four hours on and I'd only got one form done so I gave up. Been packing my room up. It's finally hit me that these are the last few days at the Cliff. My home for the past nine months is no more.
Might be going to stay at Sam's tonight. Ten days apart has done us both some good. Lots of time to think and reassess the situation with clear heads. It's probably the last time we'll see each other for a few months.

We have spent the night watching DVDs and chatting. Been really good. Think that's the plan for the next two days. With bank holiday coming
I have one subject left to revise for and I can't be bothered. I really need 85% in the exam though which I don't think I'll get.
OMG! Party last night....... I have no idea where to start and I havent told any of my friends. I do want/need to talk to someone but I dont know whether I should post the full story on here :o
I feel like I should be confused about the situation but im not.
Sorry I know Im talking no sense, its about this guy that I guessed way back in feb at this other party and now after last night, its like things should be complicated but they're not :confused:

It's bank holiday tomorrow so you shouldn't be at work. Did Lee's team win? :D :ninja: I want all the juicy goss.
I spent the weekend at Sam's. We had fun getting drunk at 2pm, going to the park, generally drinking and talking. Talked honestly about how we feel, what other people have been saying about us and it cleared the air. Some of it wasn't easy to say but it had to be said and I respect him for being honest. He said I was an amazing friend *smiles* and everything I've done for him, he'd do for me if I needed it.
Our friendship has changed because of one person but we'll get through it. Probably won't see him for a few months now but I think I can cope with that. There was a time a few weeks ago where I couldn't live without him for a day but spending ten days apart gave us both time to think seriously about each other. We don't have to speak every day on the phone but just knowing that we're just a call away if either of us needs to talk is good enough for me :)
Oh and that "chat" we had about me being in love with him. He said on Saturday if there was anybody he wanted to sleep with at the moment, it's me :ninja: Which is probably what was going through his head on Friday night :p I have to give it to him, he does try even when he knows it's not going to happen.
So from now on my HWYD posts will be pretty much Sam-free :)
I've been talking to a guy on my course, properly talking and getting to know him. I'm not sure what I feel but he likes me :hmm: And Sam says Sef is a decent guy and he won't have to go round and break his legs when I get cheated on :p (sorry!). For the moment I'm just enjoying talking to him.

Anyway yeah Abilgail Lee's team won. I won't get any peace to get work done tomorrow he is going to be like a kid at Christmas, last year he drapped his Ranger's top over my monitor when they made it to the UEFA cup final.
It's good that you have cleared the air with Sam Abigail. Are you going to go back to live in the halls again next term or are you going to rent a house.
I have a room at a private halls where a lot of people are moving as they are better quality than the housing.

I cycled with OH yesterday along the Water of Leith from Balerno to Edinburgh Quay.(7 miles there, 7 miles back - nice and flat, lol)
It was wonderful, a beautiful sunny day - loads of wildlife swans and cygnets, ducks and ducklings.
There were people rowing on the canal stretch of the trip, plenty of families out for a walk, joggers, cyclists.
At Edinburgh Quay there were colourful long boats and barges, and lots of bars and restaurants - I had no idea that the canal was behind some of the building I pass almost daily.
We stopped for a cider, and then a coffee and headed back.
Bliss - it was like being on holiday.

Lately.. things ahve felt kind of surreal to me. I'm not used to it lol.. though I still don't know where I stand, he's lovely and so I'm quite happy with that I suppose. All I seem to be doing lately is working. Not complaining since it's money, and I genuinely enjoy my job recently too.
Just been to the gym tonight and took my Nan shopping to Asda, but I ahve a headache and I feel sick.. which has come baout quite suddenly.
I've had a pretty good day actually. Makes a change from having snot all over my face which is what the last month has been like. The situation hasn't changed but a good nights sleep and eating something seems to have helped.

Went up to read New Moon and i just can't get into it. My laptops being sent back to Tesco on sunday morning and i'm getting a new one sunday afternoon. :D. It keeps on overheating and turning off on me. My best friend's moving down south to live with her dad but doesn't have a proper leaving date. I'm gutted i'll miss her so much, but it's for the good. Plus i can always go down and annoy her...

Last year it was a brilliant day as well and I was on the toys stall, which was outside and I got sunburn so tomorrow I'm making sure I have my suntan lotion with me.
That would be a good idea Kath. My mum had to pick up sun tan lotion for us. Factor 50!:O But i need cause if i sunburn apparently it hurts a lot.. :( Cause of my burns.
I've found an unlikely friend :) I met her when we were campaigning for the elections back in March. She emailed me through facebook yesterday about something and we got onto talking about other things.
Maybe now the reduced contact between me and Sam won't be so hard. Having someone else to talk to isn't so bad after all.
Been shopping today. Got some sunglasses and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.
I went shopping in Liverpool today, I like it there, good shopping :D
And it was so hot so it was nice day out :p
Another day of revision for me. Economics. LRAS has shifted to the left; my productivity has fallen! :lol:
*Hopes Kath knows what I'm on about*

It's supposed to be vertical you silly girl :lol:
I know it's vertical!
That :p
:confused: whats that about? :lol:
The productive capacity of the economy. At LRAS2 there are substantial unemployed resources; like now because of the recession.
:lol: I have no idea what you are on about
Me neither. I'm just going to nod and agree and pretend to know what you're talking about.
:lol: I will do the same :p
You two preferred Kasple's Philosophy last year then :lol:
Ooo yes! I loved that :D I wish she still in it, with that I can sort of understand and argue against it :D
I love debates :p
Im such a geek :D :lol:
Indeed I did. Much simpler to understand.
Im a big mean posting machine :ninja:
I just did it guys, since we were talking about it in the shotbox that I had what?....17 posts to go

Men. :rolleyes:
Can we not just have a conversation without you trying to put your arm around me? Ugh. I don't fancy you, hence me leaning away from you. Get the message, and please don't follow me into every room I go into. What a stalker.
A good party otherwise. Left early to escape stalker guy. :lol:

Hormonal teenage lads are usually after one thing when they've had a few. Even when they get to the age of 26 they don't change and make it their mission to sleep with a best friend, even when she explicitly says nothing can ever happen over and over again.
A kick or grab of the knackers will do the trick.
It's boiling here :) Lots to do today in the house :(

Lol yeah. Well I don't think I will see him again..doesn't really hang around with the people I do.

Yesterday went to my mates Ann's Summers Party - they're always a laugh! Then we went out for my mates birthday - which is today. Was a really good night!!! So funny. And we all stayed at my mates.
Then today we all went to the beach :D Which was awesome :D

Another lovley day up here. took Marley to the pub they have tables outside were we sat drinking Irn Bru and eat ice cream. Got a little red but not much Marley is already looking as if she has had a fortnight in Greece, don't you just hate people that tan natrually. they have a big wood and a river so Marley took her fishing net and caught some tadpoles with other kids. Sat there for about 4 hours then we went to Asda.

Aww, I feel for you. Hope you are better real soon :)
a fabby sunshine day here in Ireland and I am stuck at work on bank holiday... I should have opted to work from home :(
But then you would have got nothing done Siobhan if you were working from home :cool:
I've been into Newcastle shopping this afternoon. Didn't get anything for myself except some yummy ham from Fenwicks.
Hope you feel better soon Tannie
I have had a very unproductive day at the job centre! i think it might have to be volunteering at least that way i will not be bored, i have been skint for three years whats one more summer giong to hurt! Think my face is a bit pink as well even though i covered myself in sun cream, not impressed, although did go shopping and got a nice top from primark and some white jeans, could be messy but it is summer! :cheer: :cheer:

I ended up in Usk today! (Thsi random place about half an hour away and they have a river and a park) but had lots of fun, it was a last minute thing over facebook so me and some friends went.. it's the furthest I've drove since I'd passed so it was a bit scary but ok :)
...and now I'm slightlyyy burnt. ow.
glad you had a good time, i need to book some driving lessons, at least i can do something productive with my time. As i doubt i will be getting a job, looks like i will be volunteering in a charity shop its something to do i suppose.
I am now trying to book flights to hamburg and the back from Poland for the 25th after my sailing, its proving to be a bit more difficult than i thought. Its Looking like the best option is Ryanair from Dublin, as Manchester to Dublin is a pouind, or i could get a cheap rail and sail. hmm, the decisions.
Katy, if you can't find a job for 28 days and have evidence (i.e. job interviews, letter from the job centre saying they've been trying to get you work) you can apply for summer Access To Learning fund (ALF). If you ring the advice centre at your university they will be able to give you more information.
It's a grant that you don't have to pay back unless you withdraw or intermit.
