Heya!!!!
Oh my god I havent been on here in ages, Ive been away so much, and on thursday morning I just got back from my 2 week hoilday in Rhodes. It was great there and very very hot and I have quite a good tan so Im very pleased and now Im back my roon is in a tip and I really need to unpack properly, but I met up with some mates yesterday we are really nervous about results everytime I think about them I feel sick. Me and my mates are planning to do something before and after, I feel better with them rather than my parents at this time, I mean I know they care and stuff but i just dont feel comfortable talking to them about that stuff.
Anyway Im gald to be back in a way I have so much catching up to do, on here and with mates and stuff. I just want to spend this week relaxing lol
Once again it has been pouring with rain all flaming day in sunny Edinburgh and another weekend ruined. There was a fun-day where we live today but I didn't go. There has been some improvenment with my niece. She is still quiet poorly but she has gone from recieving 100% oxygen down to 60% so that's a good sign. She is still on dialsys as they are having to give her fresh blood everyday. They are doing this for 6 days. We still don't know the long-term effects that this condition will have on her. The hospital want to test her sister and brother for the gene to see if they have it and she may not be able to have kids.
Well today i headed into Edinburgh with my grandma. As Kath said it was pretty crap weather! But we had to go in to get me a birthday present althrough my birthday isn't for another two weeks on monday but next week she's up in Dunblane and The Following saturday - 1st September she's in Spain so yeah:D
The only down side was i found out that she won't be present for my birthday as she will be in spain so that kinda sucks:(
That's a shame Tan, with it being your 16th and everything.
Had an okay day. Was supposed to be getting school shoes and was planning to take a detour into New Look, but my dad had a 1000 cc Yamaha motorbike delivered when he told my mum and me that he was having a 250 cc Aprillia. Went to do some work only to find that somehow another bit has gone missing. I must have left it on my account at school without knowing it, so I'll have to do it again. Had my hair dyed, but it's a bit darker than I wanted it to be.
I am having the most boring days of the summer ever! I have nothing to so apart from cook, clean and wash up and I suppose re-arange my room, whlist waiting for the dreaded thursday
There is a god. At last my niece is showing signs of improvement. she had a couple of bad nights at the begining of the week where she was having difficulty breathing when she was trying to sleep so they had to put her back on the breathing machine, but yesterday they took her off it she still has the oxygen but they reduced it today to 40% and she wasn't showing any signs of struggling for breath. On the downside there is still a leakage in her lungs and it is not cirulating around her body as it should be. They are having to give her fresh blood everyday and also plasma but it is making her legs swell. She is still on the kidney dialasys maching but because they are unable to use the veins in her arms they were insterting the tube in the groin, but that has become infected so tomorrow they are going to have to use the main artery in her neck. Poor huney she has really been through the mill. I haven't been able to visit yet as she is still critical and it's only her mum, sister and brother that is allowed in. She was starting to feel a bit better today so fingers cross the drugs are starting to work.
Having to take the day off work tomorrow as there is industrial action been called by council staff because the council want to close a number of school, nurseries and community centres over the city. The janitors, learning assistants and catering staff are all on strike so the school has to close.
Hair dye is coming out and now it looks like I have brown highlights when it's supposed to last for 6 weeks. Did that piece of work again, only to find that the cable for the printer. I can't go back to school without a new one because they said they weren't even taking it in on usb stick because we've had over the summer to do it.
Also finished English coursework, but still have a few little bits of work to do.
I'm glad your niece is getting better Kath and showing improvement. :)
I had a sleepover last night and only had 4 hours sleep and been out with mates today. Just got my results tomorrow! :D
Results....ooer...hope I pass the ones I need to! :o
Good luck! I hope you get the results you want.
Thanks, got the results for the courses i wanted :)
Helped out at the horticultural fayre was so hot though! 26 degrees!
Afterwards was the charity auction and Ray Brooks paid £165 for his own jar of lemon curd! I blame my dad :p (they do this every year) and the women at the back right :rotfl: Was a fun two hours. For some reason my mum thought it was a good idea to get fish and chips to eat there for supper :rolleyes: lucky it was airy :lol:
Our weekend started with going to the place we ordered a GPS ( or TOMTOM) of course this is a BIG BOYS toy,, so my partner had to play with it until he got it to work,, yesterday we were invited to a BBQ .. so we set in the address , he wants to FOOL the Tom Tom and go a different way ( hes testing and pushing the envelope) well the TomTom is alot smarter.. it adjusts to a different route to the same place,, ha ha ha ,,,We have not set in a specific VOICE yet,, I think he just wanted to make sure this 500+ euro device worked..this one covers all Europe, Canada and the USA,, so we are taking it to the USA with us , should be fun
We leave on Sept 4........... soooooooooo I get to go to the USA not once but twice this year :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Today i am sorting out lists of things ,, like what to take in a certain piece of luggage,, we are taking 3 pcs, and packing a big duffle bag in one.. cos one suitcase belongs to my son..any way.. we are trying to TRAVEL LIGHT,, ain't no such thing in my vocabulary,, I gotta travel with every thing and the kitchen sink hee heee
Later every one muwahhhhhhhhhhhhhh:wub:
This weekend has been really good It was mine and my brothers birthday friday (but he is 3 years older then me) went to my mums for dinner with my sister and her 2 kids... on the night time our friends came down from co Durham was up till the eary hours in morning catching up..
Saturday went in the town and then everyone came to our house for a bbq
My sister and 2 kids, my brother and his 2 kids, my sister her partner and 2 kids my other brother and some friends started about 1ish finished about 10pm it was a good day...
Today just cleaned up our friends have gone back home..
I've had a great time in Ireland, we went to Cork and just picked places out on a map and visited them. Its a beautliful place a shame we had to come home. I feel all refreshed and nice after being in the fresh air alot, the weather was amazingly good as well. It was also my dads 50th so we went and celebrated that as well. We visited really great places its amazing that where we were staying was about a five minute bus ride into the city yet if you drove for another 20 in the other direction you were in the deepest countryside. It was amazing.
Anyway now back home got to sort out stuff for uni so dad is taking me shopping tomorrow, we are going to the lowry centre, i like it there as its got a few shops under one roof, its not to big, shopping isnt my number 1 choice of what id like to be doing.
I've had a rotten day. I was called for Jury service today. I tried calling the information line all weekend to see if I was required but it was out of service, so I had to appear at the court this morning. I sat around for two hours before they choose the names for Jury service. I wasn't selected so was told I was free to go but I would have to phone after 5pm tonight to check if I am needed tomorrow and the flaming line is contstantly engaged :angry:
Having a really boring few days, but its all Okay cos Im going shopping tomorrow!!! and then brace off on wednesday and I soooo cant wait and then I enroll for colleg, thursday will be fun and then the weekend!
That's the british justice system for you, i think its a bizarre way jury service but i suppose if your called you have to go even if it is a pain in the neck.Quote:

I'm registered with this site that offers free tickets to shows in london like mock the week and graham norton and they sent me an offer for next friday to see bremner bird and fortune...I'm so annoyed because I'll be starting college next week! So I can't go :( apart from that good day :)
Haven't posted on here for a bit, so here goes....
Last week - what a week. Firstly, my dad popped round to let me know that my Great Uncle had passed away 2 weeks previously (and that I'd missed the funeral) would have been nice to have had the option to have gone and said my goodbyes, but obviously couldn't. He had had cancer for 2 years and had kept going for a lot longer than anyone thought he would, but it was a peaceful end, which is the main thing.
Then on Friday, my stepgrandfather was rushed to hospital. He had MS and was chair bound, no mobility in his legs or from the waist down. They thought he had a stroke and that he definitely had pneumonia. Well, he lost the use of his body from the neck down following, was pretty unresponsive, couldn't talk or anything. He fought bravely for a few more days, but then sadly he passed away on Tuesday morning.
So not such a good time of it but for both, was a happy release for them both.
On Tuesday, I'd already promised Ste a trip, so amongst all of the Bank Hols traffic made our way to Wales and popped to Cardiff for the Dr Who exhibition which was pretty good - we both enjoyed it and Ci enjoyed spending the day with his nan at Diggerland.
Boys are back to school next Weds and I had forgotten so now it will end up being a rush job to get all of their things sorted out ready for then (and believe me, I'm not in the mood or the condition to be rushing!! :rotfl: )
Awww Ems that sucks about your great uncle/step grandfather *sends hugs your way*
I had a job interview yesterday, questions were a bit hard but i tried my best and thats all i can do really
I'm sorry to hear about you great uncle and step grandfather Ems. Its good that they both had a peaceful end.
You can only try your best vicky, hope the interview went alright.
I tidied my room yesterday, it took hours, everytime i moved something from my desk the pile of papers did not seem to decrease.
So sorry to hear of you loss of you uncle and grandad Ems. Sometimes it doesn't rain it pours but they are out of pain and are in a better place. Put your feet up gives the kids money and tell them to get their own stuff for school :D
My niece is doing a lot better she is finally out of the high dependisy ward and onto a normal ward, she is of the oxygen and Plasma but is still on dialsys but is hoping to be off that in a few days. I am going to see her tomorrow, which is the first time I have seen her in three weeks. Work has been hetic all week with spending two flaming days sitting in a court and our students are back on Monday and the college still looks as if a bomb has hit it.
Really sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle and stepgrandfather Ems.
Kath - i'm glad to hear your niece is making a good recovery now! :)
Yesterday was a good day - walked over the bridge with some friends - stopped halfway and had a bit of a picnic. :D Then stayed over my mates for the night where we watched movies and played Buzz and Guitar Hero on the Playstation 2 - two great games! :D Didn't get to sleep 'til 4am though - oopps!
Mums back today so we are tidying the house looks like abomb has dropped on it. dads hoovering rmy sisters doing the bathroom and i am doing the study its nearly done so i am coming on here for a bit.
going out in a bit to get an outfit for a mates 18th tomorrow night as i have nothing to wear.
Went to visit my niece tonight in hospital. It was the first time Marley and I have seen her in three weeks since she was taken to hospital. Good news she is getting home tomorrow, she has to return in three weeks time to the Renal Clinic to have her kidneys checked and blood taken. She has put on a lot of weight due to the steriods but it was such a joy to see some colour in her cheeks. The first thing she said to me was sorry that she had missed my birthday. Bless her wee soul.
havent posted in here for a while
near the beginning of august i went to venice for 5 days, which was good although there wasnt really much to do there after a while. though the weather was really hot apart from one evening when it poured down with rain and so we got soaked! then from 18th to 25th we went down to stay with my mums cousin who owns a hotel in bournemouth. the weather wasnt that great for the beginning of the week but it got better towards the end
yesterday i moved into my new house at uni. not properly moved in, just took some of my stuff down, which was lucky seeing as there were no matresses on the beds! the house is nice though, its just been newly built. i had to change the furniture around though cos i didnt like how it was lol! met some of my neighbours who seem really nice so cant wait to move in properly in just under 2 weeks! :D
im glad your niece is getting better :)Quote:

finally got the house back to myself, everyones back at work school and everything else. Feels normal again. Just looked at getting a train from southport to Manchester Picadilly on a sunday and the only way is to go to Wigan then a bus to bolton and then a train back, why can't these routes be simple.
Just got back from a 2 hour thing at college - alot is changing :rolleyes: we had a new principle join after xmas this year and he decided to make a hell of a lot of changes, for a start he made all the staff re-apply for their jobs with no guarentee they would get it back.
They heard about jobs i think about middle of June-ish and the news they got caused over 150 staff members to quit (before had there had been about 5 strikes over this) it was in the local paper for quite a few weeks before and after we broke up for summer becuase of this new principle dude.
Well this 2 hour thing today, we learnt that these staff members had still not been replaced and they are very understaffed right now so on a temorary basis we have two days a week off (thursday and friday) However another change this bloke made was to have us be set 2 targets per day, if by half past 4 the tasks are not completed we could be staying till like half 8 till they have been completed :rolleyes: if it then gets to half past 8 and they still are not done then we go but we are back in on saturday morning :rolleyes: if you get 3 strikes (like bad attendance and uncompleted tasks etc) then you are thrown out of the college (this includes lateness unless you have a very good reason) you still get qualifications but its not the ones you should be getting.
Each student will also be forced to sign up for enrichment (at least one - its not optional - oh how fun) and if you sign up and dont go that also counts as a strike (as it counts towards your attendance) :rolleyes:
Because of the changes we get 2 days off up till xmas when itll all change because they hope to be fully staffed by then so till then its a 3 day week because of staff and room shortage (due to building work)
We aint in again till friday then next week we aint in monday but we are in tuesday and wednesday then we are in thursday afternoon but going off site which will cost us £5 to go and do some team building stuff (including rounders - which i despise - if i wanted to play rounders id being doing sports)
So year this year is going to be so much fun :rolleyes:
Thats ridiculous. Enrichment classes, two targets per day and college on Saturday :eek: :eek: I hope it doesn't go too badly. I don't see how you can complete your courses and get a decent grade doing three days per week.Quote:

Dont know about the targets yet that will be the fun part, but the 3 day a week thing is only temp until they get staff again, the compulsory enrichment thing is crap though they never have anything im interested in except learning to play an instument but thats pointless because my parents wont let me have an instrument so why bother learning to play one for a year then stop its stupid
I'm not surprised you're wound up about that! Eek, I was annoyed enough at the work I had to do today. I'm unimpressed at the fact my school's decided to set PE by ability.
I haven't done PE for 2 years as I couldn't cope with it, and now I think I'm going to be forced into doing it. I'm in set 5 (bottom.) I don't want to go to a bottom set lesson ever or I'll get a load more stick for it :(
