I can't wait to go to university, I hate my dad. It's just like walking on eggshells. Tonight he just said he was taking my friend home (half an hour early), so I asked why he just went off on one. Normally I don't particularly care but there's no need to shout at me especially in front of my friend. :angry: I don't get why he's in a bad mood there's no reason...I've not been unhelpful or ungrateful in any respect today. I don't know why I bother.
i am trying to work but finding watching casualty instead. It seems a lot better. I love uni and mornings off.
Perhaps he is worried about things you are not aware of and that makes him a bit snappy. Or he might not feel too well, that makes people go crabby (does me, anyway). Are you able to talk to him at all? Perhaps you could tell him how you feel when he is moody, that might help your relationship with him.Quote:

I spent two hours today cleaning my car. It's so hard to clean a white car :p When the insurance and MOT/service is done I'll take it to the supermarket they clean it there for £5 :p Much easier :p
Went to the pet shop, bought a load of toys for the cats. Got the younger cat high on catnip it's hilarious :lol:
:lol: Thats sounds soooo werid, how come? and what did it do?Quote:

Catnip is like a drug to cats, but doesn't have any damaging effects just makes them really happy :p she was rolling over and chasing everything. She kept putting her head in the box the catnip came in :lol: Great fun to watch :p
:lol: :rotfl: That must of been very amusing for you :lol: :p
Aww, I am the world's greatest cat lover and know what you are talking about, to watch them on catnip is great fun :lol: How many cats have you got and what are their names? Not got any myself at the moment as my job means I am travelling a fair bit and don't always get home and I feel it would be unfair, but as soon as possible, I shall give a home to a couple of kitties again. :thumbsup:
I like cats you don't have to take them for walks :p One's called Basil, he's 4 and Penny is 9 months, got them both from the same rescue home as kittens :)
I got a telling off from the head of 6th this morning because my target grades from my teachers are lower than my ALPS grades. ALPS are basically target grades that are based on statstics and GCSE results. I have five GCSEs at As and Bs so according to this formula I should get 3 Bs at A level. Which is completely pointless and rubbish, there is no way I am going to get that. I didn't turn up to half of my lessons last year and she knows that.
I don't really care what grades I get as long as I get into uni without going through clearing.
Started physics coursework this morning. We all thought it was a doddle until we came to set it up. Its about inverse square law so we have to record the intensity of a filament bulb with a light sensor. Sounds easy until you realise how many problems there are to overcome. Such as how to read the LCD screen and write down results in the dark :lol:
My sister got another dog last week. He's called Bramble Pie and he's a gun dog. His owner died and the new owner hasn't been treating him well so my sister rehomed him. They were going to get a puppy and train him up as a gun dog but they have a three year old lab fully trained for free.
Bramble is really stubborn and digs his claws in. He wouldn't even go inside the house when it was -6C last week because his previous owner made him sleep outside all year round. I don't think they will be able to use him as a gun dog for a few months, they've got a lot of work to rehabilitate him.
Aww, the poor dog. He is obviously so confused. I go to Spain regularly and don't wish to post what the Spanish do to their gun dogs /racing dogs once they are past their career, I am pleased your sister has given the poor soul a new home, she also needs to give him time to re-adjust, might take a while though.
He's only three years old which makes it even worse.
They got another rescue dog a couple of years ago that had been beaten and abused by children. He'll never be a normal dog but he's as close as it gets. At one point he refused to have his collar taken off or be left alone with anyone except my sister's boyfriend. The vet said she's never seen a rescue dog rehabilitated as well as Rocky. To look at him now you'd never know he'd been skin and bone when they got him.
I hope that they keep him and don't give up on him. The poor sausage does not know that he can trust them not to do horrible things to him and it will take time for Rocky to totally put his trust into the new owners.
There's no chance of them giving up on Bamble. After all the work and expense that is put into a gun dog to train them you can't just let it go to waste.
Bramble was initially on a trial with my sister and her boyfriend to see if they suited each other. Obviously if you don't trust the dog and vice versa then you aren't going to have a good working relationship. When he arrived and they realised what condition he was in they both said he wasn't going back. They thought he was a black lab, after giving him a bath and he came out white.
I don't know how people can be cruel to animals.
Rehibilitating animals is hard work but rewarding. Although not as much work as dogs we rescued chickens from a battery farm a few years back and had to teach them everything because they didn't know what anything was e.g. grass, rain. Remember everyone buy free range eggs :p
We always buy free range eggs. I don't eat eggs but apparantly they taste better.
The conditions battery and barn chickens are kept in are appalling. I don't know how farmers can think it is morally and ethically right.
had quite a good week. my sis was staying down with me cos shes on half term so we went shopping on wed, i got a skirt which i thought was £12 but was actually only £5 (and it was an age 14yrs lol!) played around for absolutely ages in hawkins bazzar, dont know if any of you know that shop but its amazing! then went out in the evening, my housemates bailed out on me so it was just me and my sis but it was a good night
yesterday it was my dads bday so when my parents came down to pick my sis up we all went out for a meal
today i spent most of the day in the library trying to do research for my essay without much luck. i hate the librarian she was really horrible to me! then went cheerleading and we started learning the routine for the competition so it was really fun! :D
Oh bugger, its my dad's birthday on Sunday and my sister's on Wednesday. I haven't got either of them anything.
tell me about it im so skint its unbelievable! and the finding a place to live thing is difficult. try not to go through caxtons if you dont have to lol!Quote:

This week hasn't been so bad.
Monday - I can't remember what happend.
Tuesday - Went in late cause of double free peirod.
Wednesday - Heard this girl was judging me and i got really wound up over it as i already don't have a lot of self confidence. Luckily got away at lunch cause of a doctor's appointment.
Thursday - Refused to go in so my mother started yelling at me and all this rubbish but i didn't go in. But i did find out that my friend self harmed herself cause of her boyfriend:angry: He was seriously not worth it!
Yesterday - Was alright part from the fact i'm apparently a cow and i nearly lost my temper but didn't! But met up with my boyfriend and that last night which was fun but cold had to walk to the bowlplex and then got chucked out at 9 cause we were under 18!
Today - nothing much, went over to edinburgh cause my dad was home:D and i got a book and a new top so it's all good dunno what i'm doing tomorrow through:Dx
Aww Tannie that's terrible. Hope your mate feels better soon despite this boyfriend. Can't believe you were thrown out of the bowlplex at 9; aren't you considered an adult at 16 where you are?
Back to school on Tuesday :( I don't think I've ever been this grateful for a teacher development day in my life! Totally not in the mood for it; I can't be bothered to do any work that involves getting a pen out as it is, I've only read through revision guides a bit and some schoolbooks.
Went shopping on Wednesday and bought one top, but my mate's mum called when we were on the bus on the way back (went like 16 miles from my mates house and it's only just more expensive than me going 6 miles on a bus to see this mate :angry: What's with that?!), and told my mate that a family friend hung himself. She was the one who was in hospital and she said she felt sick and dizzy on the way back. I did get a text from her to say she got home ok but it was a nightmare having to get off of the bus knowing that she still had miles to go before she got home.
I went to the doctors and was diagnosed with depression. Doctor said she couldn't prescribe me anything because of my age, but she's referred me for councelling. Not impressed about that as it is, and how they actually expect me to have transport to get to these sessions is a bit of a mystery. Lack of transport is partially responsible for this to start with!
I text another mate earlier and she hasn't replied. She's probably enjoying herself with our other mate while I'm stuck here by myself.. I can't stop crying.
And Abbie; I thought it was that you could register to give blood at 16 but you're not actually called to donate until you're 17.
Blood donation Who can use it?You can donate blood every 16 weeks. Regular donors make donations up to three times a year. This allows your body time to build up its stores of iron before the next donation.Quote:

Nearly everyone who is aged between 17 and 60, weighs over 50kg, and is in good general health, can give blood. Once you have given your first donation you can continue to give blood until your 70th birthday.
A confidential health interview the first time you come to donate is necessary to check that you are fit to give blood, and that your blood is safe for the patients who receive it. You will be asked to complete a Health check questionnaire and will be asked a few other questions designed to prevent the transmission of infection. This includes questions about diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV (AIDS) and malaria. If you are unwell on the day, such as with flu or a cold, you will not be able to give blood.
If you have had a tattoo or any form of body piercing in the last six months you may not donate. You must also tell the donor carer if you have had any of these procedures in the last 12 months because an additional test will need to be conducted. If you have recently been taking antibiotics you will have to wait until you have finished them and until you have fully recovered from your infection. Women may not donate while they are pregnant and for a period of time afterwards, equal to the duration of the pregnancy. Breastfeeding mothers can give blood provided they are not anaemic.
Hope this helps with some of your questions. I used to donate but now it appears to be easier to get blood out of a stone than my veins, they disappear as soon as a needle gets close :lol:
Apparently i am too thin to give blood and my mates too gay.
Nearly done my work i am having a really irritating phase where i am waking up at 7 30 and cant get back to sleep. Its odd well its good when i have 9 AM lecture, but as i got in at 2 today i thought a lie in was in order evidently not. In a way i have managed to do more work so thats good.
Last night was ace just spent hours in spoons. Met loads of people out which was good. The people in halls are all having WW3 i think loads of arguments so i am just staying in my room and keeping out of it, thank God for SB sanity. A proper conversation, i just re read that how sad do i sound.
I am going out in a bit though, muy mate and his daughter are coming to visit from manchester so that should be good.
I think I'm going to have a lazy day today.
I've got an abstract to write for my bio cousework, should only take 10 mins. We've been doing coursework since June last year. Every lesson we spend 20 mins on it going over the same things.
I should maybe do some reading for biology and a bit of research for my physics coursework.
Its my dad's birthday today. I don't think we're doing anything special, we never do.

Today i went food shopping with my mum which was fun:D:ninja: x althrough it's not normally fun:lol:
You can't give blood if you are a gay man or you are a female who has had sex with a man who has had sex with another man.Quote:
