Sorry to hear you have been poorly Perdy. Enjoy your holiday. wish I was going somewhere nice and hot weather is to be rotten up here over the weekend.
My sister is in labour :D I'm so excited.
I have a nephew :D He was born about an hour ago, no name or weight yet.
Aww thats so cute! :D
Had a good couple of days. Vodka rev yesterday night, Nandoes tonight. :) Also yesterday queued up for discount Dc Martens for 2 hours but well worth it!
His unconfirmed name is Charlie James (which has upset my other sister) and he weighed almost 9lb. So much for him being a small baby like the midwife said!!!
Aw congratulations Auntie Abigail. What a lovely weight. I was told from about 5 months into my prenancy that my baby would be small and she weighed in at 8lbs. Anyway well done to your sister and big kisses to little Charlie. My niece had another scan last week she's having a girl. Skye her name will be and the little cherub is due on Great Aunt Kathleen's birthday you know. On a serious note will you be able to make it back from Nigeria to see the little lad before he goes to university :eek:Quote:

I'm going to get my photo taken tomorrow. My nephew phoned today wants to take some family potraits at his studio. Better comb my hair :lol:
Enjoy your photos, we had some done a few years back, we all look so different on them now.
Im going sailing in a bit, for the annual easter sunday races, should be good, but the weathers looking a bit suspect, been a long time since i have been in a boat.
I am sure everyone heard of the recent events of the 15 year old boy who was stabbed to death on Good Friday by 23 and 38 year old in Tyrellstown Dublin.. that is where I live. it is 5 mins from my house. This was a racial attack. The men in question didn't like the fact that a black boy was with white girls and went home, got a kitchen knife and stabbed him.. In the area I live there are many many different races.. For example Charley (my daughter) 3 best friends are a polish girl, a black boy and an asian girl. I think it is an absolute disgrace that this happen. One of the men are not from this area and it is just hatred from him. Kids in our area all hang around together regardless of colour, religion, culture etc... This was shown in a memorial today of over 300 people who walked around the streets of Tyrellstown.. All mixed creed.. We are just shown everyone that although this was a racist attack, it hasn't stopped the people here from living and working together... thats the way it will always be here.
Sorry to hear the attack was close to your home, Siobhan. It's brilliant that the community are pulling together to show that racism won't be tolerated.
Sorry to hear too that you've been so unwell, Perdita, and that you had to have all those tests done. Hope you're feeling better now and that you enjoy your time in Spain.
Abigail - congratulations to you and your family on the birth of your nephew.
My head feels like its about to explode and I want to cry. My extended family is falling apart, mum refuses to talk about it and I'm waiting for the police to talk to me.
My mum told me my sister was resting after giving birth and I would be told when I could visit so I didn't ring, now she tells me she's feeling isolated and I should get in touch. She gave birth on Friday night, it's been less than 48hrs since I found out the baby had been born (wasn't told she was in labour until 12hours after she was taken into hospital). I'm being made to feel guilty because I haven't got any money for a train ticket home until next week. I haven't got any money because my mum owes me £400!
There's so much more than I want to rant about, mainly about my mother, but I can't. There's a police investigation going on and everybody is walking on eggshells trying not to say the wrong thing.
I'm going to watch some more 24 (season 7).
It is great that the community is pulling together, it is so sad thouh that these attacks are still happening, he was just a kid, the garda have got the people who did it fairly quickly so thats a good thing. I hate hearing about things like this.
Sorry to hear about your family troubles Abigail, i hope you feel better soon.
My sailing turned into a swin yesterday, horrible capsize round the last mark frm a horrible gust! bust my ribs again as well must have fell on something on the way down! they are killing me now. The water was freezong as well, s im hoping i have avoided a cold.
Hi guys!
I havent been on here properly for ages! I actually cant remember when I last was! I dont think Ive done that
Anyway cos Ive been away for so long it would take me too long to type up everything thats been happening with me.
To sum it up, Ive been pretty busy at Uni, Ive had more work the past term and Ive been going out a lot more :p
I also have a boyfriend :) and Ive only just finished for easter, well I did on thursday but I had no lectures last week cos I was lucky with my timetable but I had 2 tests and an essay to do
Turns out I finished my exam 26th May :)
Shiv so sorry to hear of the tragic events in Dublin. Its so sad that an innocent life has to be taken because of some people's small mindless. Abaigail I' m sure your sister won't mind that you haven't got a gift yet She'll be overjoyed to hear your voice, give her a call and get all the fab news about the new arrival. Is this a litle brother for Maisie or is it your other sister. I hope everything in your family is sorted out soon.
Went to the photoshoot yesterday it was mad and had loads taken. As soon as I get a copy of them. I will send some to be posted on here.
Congrats, Abigail,on being an aunt again, sorry about your family problems. Shame about the attack in Dublin, Siobhan, I don´t understand why some people can´t let others live their lives how they want and with whom they want. We are supposed to live in a free society :(
I am enjoying my last couple of days in Spain, still not feeling well but I think it is stress that is causing the headaches, not a medical condition. I am emotionally all over the place at the moment.
Ain't been on here in ages. Been lurking about the boards but also been trying to decide what to do after college and what not. Not really been up to much though. Got my hospital appointment for next wednesday and octors for next thursday. Just been trying to keep track of money but it just isn;t working :(
Congrats Abigail on becoming a auntie, really sorry about the family problems.
Perdita it could be the cause of stress for your headaches I know the feeling it ain't nice.
I haven't been on here in ages!!1 I hope everyone is doing good :) to all those having a hard time at the moment, things will get better, keep smiling :)
Had a good few weeks, had a huge falling out with a friend but I'm over it. My school friends are back from Uni and I'm finding it so diffuclt to juggle my time for them, my new friends that I've made while they've been away and for my family and myself, I'd quite like about 2 of me right now haha.
I got a tattoo the other day, I love it :) it wasn't rushed and I made sure it was what I definately wanted as it's with me for life :)
I cannot believe I'm 19 tomorrow too.. the past year has flown by!
Got some sort of cold/cough though, I feel like absolute rubbish but oh wellll, just man up and get on with it I am :)
Back to College today! NOT looking forward to it haha
Happy Birthday for tommorrow, Kirsty. :D
Happy birthday Kirsty have an extra big slice or granny's cake for me :D
Happy Birthday, Kirstey, have a lovely day :D :cheer:
Happy Birthday Kirsty hope you have a great day.
Im having yet another manic rush to try and get an essay in, the wrkload these last few weeks is incredible!
Happy Birthday Kirsty.. hope you have a good one
Welcome back Perdy.. the boards were quiet without you
Happy Birthday Kirsty! :D
I have so much to do today! I think my room is ok and Im going into town- holiday searching then Dan, my boyfriend is coming to visit for a few days so then we are going to the cinema and then food and then Im out tonight!
Most busy I have been in ages, although I went to the Zoo yesterday, i was the best! :D
Gaaad i havent been here for ages even though i said i would! been so busy with work and college - hope everyone is okay? (:
supposed to be in college right now but i just cannot face it. im only missing my first lesson and im going for my next two in an hour or so but i just really dont want to be there. im currently searching uni websites to see what other quals i could get to get onto nursing and so far im thinking health and social care BTEC. i just absolutely hate A Levels, im sick of exams and revision and homework. its just, i dont know its just horrible. i absolutely loved it at the start but now i just hate it.
does anyone know if a BTEC in health and social care is any good? from experience etc? I NEED a course change, i did loads of revision for jan modules and didnt do well at all so i think its best if i find another option so that i dont just waste the next couple of years by having to re sit etcc.
sorry for the major downer rant :L just needed a place to get it out!!
anywaysss like i say hope you guys are all well ( ;xx
Hi Hollie, welcome back :) Thank you, I am good, hope you are too and that you find a suitable place for your BTEC, sorry I can't help you with that :(
I am actually ready to scream. Everything was completley fine in the house until i decide to get up and go down to see if my mum had maybe left me any food, cause at this moment in time i'm feeling pretty rubbish. To find out they've ate what was planned for dinner now I don't know what i'm doing for dinner and can't take any money out my bank to get anything :\ so shall be searching the cupboards in a bit.
I haven't been around much lately, very busy with uni assessments. Yesterday I had mock job interviews which went ok. This morning I had a court appearance and this afternoon I have a three hour crime scene practical. On top of that I have an assignment to write for Thursday which I haven't started researching yet :wall: I'm also trying to finish a lab report with only half the information I need because the other half is unavailable.
I finish on Friday though then I've got one exam and I'm done for the year :eek: This time next year I'll nearly be graduating.
thanks perdita (:
Im soooooo happy now! Found out that the other college in the area offers a Nursing Cadet Scheme, basically its like an apprenticeship but its not the same lol. 3 days in college then the rest on different hospital placements. gna carry on my a levels for this year then apply for that. It'll give me the equivalent to three A Levels at the end and allow me to still go to uni to do what i ultimately want to do with is Paediatric nursing. Im soooooo soo happy its unreal :D
Congratulations Hollie :D
I am soo pleased for you, Hollie, well done :cheer: All the best for your future career :D
Congrats Hollie! glad ye have found what you want to do, its amazing what there is to offer yet you never find it till after you start A LEvels and stuff like that as its what everyne thinks you have to do, only go the traditional route. Really pleased for you.
I went out to an awards dinner last night, was really good, got a little drunk and now doing this assignment i feel like death, its such a pointless question. The sooner my grad comes the better! I cant wait.
thankssss. yeah, i never even knew about this cadet scheme until i asked someone else about a health and social care course and she was like have you heard of cadets? so ive researched, emailed the college, theyve told me to apply as soon as possible because they give prorities to those before march 31st so im just keeping my fingers crossed! if not ill just do the health and social care course because theyve said that will get me where i want to go as well, so just fingers crossed now! :D
I will keep my fingers crossed for you too, good luck :)
I need and agony Aunt. :p.
who want's to listen to me ramble on for hours about crap that doesnt even really matter :p
I will :)
I will too Lea, you know where we are anytime you need any kind of rant! :)
Not been on for a while again, thanks everyone for my birthday messages! I had a lovely day :)
We went out on the Friday after as a theme of fairytales and nursery rhymes, not as many people came out and dressed up as planned, so there were just the 5 girls, but we had SUCH a good night, was really fun! :)
After that, things seem to have gone on a downer I suppose. I'm falling way behind at College, which I don't want too because I actually enjoy the course, I just feel lost after having a week off from being ill, and now I'm even more behind. Grrr, never ending circle :/
Also, my confidence has taken a turn for the worse. I've made some new friends, and they're all lovely, but I don't know. I just don't feel like I fit in with them. Actually, there's 2 girls, me and my friend Stacey, the rest are boys which tbh, is so much better purely because there's no bitchiness, but Stacey is loud, and pretty, and thin, and well everything I'm not. So where I'm still shy with them all, she's not, and sometimes gets us into situations I'd rather not be in. I really like them all, I just don't know how to speak to any of them because I don't have the confidence, so I'm just the "boring" one. Makes me feel like maybe I should leave them to it and keep myself to myself :/
So glad you had a nice birthday, Kirstey. With regards to your new friends, I am sure they would not spend any time with you if they found you boring, and I know you are slim and pretty, seen your photos on here, so don't worry about Stacey being better looking. :nono: We are all different and why she might be an extrovert and you more an introvert, maybe the boys like that because you balance each other out :) Just go out and enjoy their company as I am sure they enjoy yours :D
I'll also listen, Lea.
Kirsty - Perdita offers very good advice. Not everyone likes extroverts - shyness can be very attractive too. Just be yourself and don't start avoiding your friends. I'm sure things will improve if you're patient. Good luck :)
That is true.. I am the extrovert in my group and quiet shy people compliment my personality.. and trust me they don't get any less attention than I do... in fact they probably get more cause very few like loud people... and I can be very loud..Quote:
