I am pleased with today's events, I am now in possession of my City & Guild certificate for my NVQ in Business Administration Level 3, so a lot of hard work has paid off. :cheer: Will give it a while before attempting Level 4 though lol.

well done perdita
I have just watched GErmany hammer England in the Euro womens Cup final, it was a good game, 6 2 in the end which is unfair as the england ladies played brilliantly, against the best in the world.
Thanks for the update on the football,wanted to watch but OH hates any sport and we, sorry, he is watching some old war movie with Richard Attenborough when he was in his 30s by the look of it (sigh). No Emmerdale or EastEnders tonight by the look of it :(
It was a good game, i am not an England fan in anything, (IRELAND) but i so wanted them to do well, unfortunatley the champions proved to difficult. Im looking forward to getting back to uni so i can start playing again! I miss my footy.
Hope its not to longer night. I am all packed now i have 5 days worth of stuff in a little bag for handluggage only, im well impressed, although my dad said my outfit was chavvy which i am not agreeing with, it may be the silent treatment for a bit!
I'm feeling slightly confused. A friend (the guy I was going to move in with) has deleted me as a friend on Facebook. I'm not going to get into bed over it but we were good friends and I don't understand why he deleted me :searchme:
The students union has been censored. It was only a matter of time until the controversial president was censored :D Shame they couldn't have done it over something that would cause a storm instead of a piece of writing for the international students handbook.
I'm watching the Proms and trying to relax but I'm a bit tense.
Aww well done Perdita :D
Abigail, maybe the guys facebook got hacked?... People are into that lately.
Omg what a day!
Had a day off from College today,so me and my friend went into town and I parked..... right against a pillar, don't even know how I managed it but as I tried to straighten up my car scarped all against the pillar and has a small dent :( so I left it as it was and there was only one person that could get us out of the mess... Adam.
So I kind of had to go and face the music and ask him to move my car for me.. he found it highly amusing.. as has everyone else I've spoken to today lol, but he managed to get the car out without even touching the pillar! But yeah.. felt kind of awkward. Meh.
Went back to Slimming World too.. I am sooo determined to do good :) I don't feel happy and bubbly like I usually do, I'm hoping this will help me loads.
EDIT: Hahaa.... pics of the damage are on my Facebook... courtesy of Cat, who decided it would be funny to take the pictures :lol:
I had an eventful day.
I went to give blood finally for the second time - it was very unsucessful.
I mean they have told me I have tiny veins and they kept saying I have a tiny waist and tiny wrists, I agree about the wrists but not the waist.
Anyway so they got the needle in and I was squeezing really hard but it just wasnt working. They moved it a bit quite a few times so it became uncomfortable. In the end they only got half a bag cos they had to stop since it would start and then stop again cos the small veins I have. They only have 15 mins per person and they said it wasnt fair on me either as she was having to move it a bit to flow.
Anyway got the plaster on went to get a cuppa and the nurse asked me if I was ok and she had to change the dressing cos it bled quite a bit the whole plaster was red. She told that it will bruise quite a bit cos of everything that happened.
I mean apart from a bit of a sore arm, I feel like its just a shame cos the nurse said its gonna be a hit and miss thing, since everything was ok the first time she said they must have got bang in the middle of the vein but this time she thinks, cos I have small veins she must have got the side and so it wasnt working. And its a shame cos giving blood really doesnt affect me, my arm is never too bad and I was even dancing tonight lol.
Well I will try again in January
Wow.. well done you!!!Quote:

Not such a great day at work, yesterday the lecturers had a meeting with HR and a union rep as the college has decided to phase out the teaching of body, repair and refinishing over the next three years, which means 4 lecturers and three techs having to be re-deployed in other areas.
Its show time today :D My last shows as well, so I might not be on much this weekend
Not much happening today been on the phone to my girlfriend this long distance thing is killing me. I trust her but I wonder sometimes if she will remain faithful
I won't be leaving home :eek: Distance learning and 3 modules on campus.Quote:

Only joking - Trin is one of the most nicest and genuine people ive ever met :D
I went to see my nephew's new shop today. He is opening a new photography business in a couple of weeks and I was helping clean the shop. I've got a big blister on my left thump from pealing the old signs of the windows. Then went to Frankie and Benny's as a birthday treat for Marley.
I am so confused! I've got work at 2 today but Olivia can ahrdly talk so she can't go in, so I told her I'd cover her from 12... but to ring up. So she rang up to tell Michelle and the chef said Michelle isn't going in today.... but Adam's on holidays for a week, so who the heck have we got for management if Michelle is still too?! :confused:
Im so sad now that the show is over
That would be great :DQuote:

I'm finding it difficult to keep things together this week, I feel really low.
All my friends are leaving this weekend, I'm starting to really dislike College already, and I'm still finding this whole "situation" with Adam really difficult, which is going to get worse when all my friends have left and I can't even talk to any of them about it lol. I feel lost.
You can come on here and talk to your heart's content, Kirsty. You are not alone :)
When I came back from holiday I found out that I have won a prize in a draw held by my local magazine and I have just been to collect it. I thought it was a voucher for 25 Euro but the prize is actually ready made up and I now got a nice pair of earrings, a large mug, a small coaster, a large coaster and a kitchen clock where the hours are made up of tiny little ducks and you can stick notes under them as the clock is a magnetic memo clock :D What a nice surprise as I am not very lucky in these things most of the time. :cool:
Yeah :)Quote:

I have been in Ireland since Friday got back late Tuesday evening and then went to bangor to drop some stuff off yesterday, so its been a lot of travelling!
Had a amazing time with the family in Ireland though, ive missed them, a bit too much drinking though! My poor liver.
It was a great surprise though, my aunt had no idea.
Now just need to get ready to go back to uni.
I've had a busy day. Been to the dentist to get my brace altered as it didn't fit properly. Also seen my granddad who said he'll give me some money for uni. My sister will go ape if she finds out because they've pretty much disowned her for being pregnant, presumably because she's not married :rolleyes:
It really annoys me that my grandparents throw money at me for my education yet now that my sister is pregnant they're not interested in their great grandchild because of the circumstances. I really don't see a problem; she's in a stable relationship (4years), own house, own car, well paid job. But she's not married. Seriously, what difference does it make? Our parents aren't married and are still together nearly 25 years later.
I'm not going to turn the money down, my granny will be offended but it makes me feel bad when they give me hundreds of pounds spending money for a holiday, a few months later I get another four hundred quid, money for my birthday a few months after that, then christmas money. Not forgetting the textbooks they buy me. I am grateful, I really am but it's just not fair that my sister gets nothing because she chose not to go to uni.
And I know Nic will ask me if they're giving me money. Do I lie and say no to spare her feelings or say yes and rub it in that she's not good enough for them (as they see it)?
Anyway, got my brace in now and it feels weird. I keep slurping like an old woman because the saliva is collecting on the plate.
Finishing off the packing tomorrow then it's away to uni on Saturday.
Bad, bad day. A property deal went sour many years ago and eventually got sorted about 3 years ago. The solicitor stated that the insurance company would pay up which I was so happy about at the time. Got a letter today from the solicitor that the highest court in the country had had a ruling in a similar case to mine and had ruled in favour of the insurance company and I am now going to be broke for the next 2 years to pay back nearly £4000. :angry: :crying: Luckily I can pay in installments and the solicitor is not charging any interest. Still, plenty of people are a lot worse off than myself, I have to bear that in mind.
I played hookey from work today Marley woke up choked with the cold and a sore head and tummy because she not pooed for a couple of days. So I took the day of work to look after her. I'm a caring mother really despite what she says.
Well I'm back at the flat. I'm tempted to go back out but...its 1.30 and I can't be bothered with the walk, albiet short. :p I'm just waiting for my flatmates to come back now!
So I have a guy coming round to watch House on Monday lol. And I was talking to a nice girl from B'ham for a bit. Met various other people. It was the free white T-shirt party tonight. All in all a very good evening. :D
My flatmates are quite awesome. We had a pre-lash before we went out it was hilarious. I'm just sitting here now with my vodka and coke that I didn't quite finish before we went out. Good times. :p
But I STILL can't log into facebook! Grr.
My central heating boiler is on the blink, I am frozen and there is no hot water. The engineer cannot come out until Sunday pm (when I had other plans - now cancelled). Thank goodness there is an electric shower in the boys bathroom, my power shower is an instrument of torture at the mo.
On top of that I have another virus and hubby is in the states for a few weeks.
Anyone got any good news?
I've got a throat infection :( Going to uni today but I doubt I will be out tonight. I feel like a badgers backside.
Not sure about good news but the weather here is great, it is warm and sunny, makes me feel a lot better :)
I hope you are feeling better real soon, all the best, Trinity and Abigail xx
ahhhh why did i agree to work at the SU for the first day of freshers weekend!?
it's been hell on earth, none stop flow of students all day, been so busy and the air con has stopped working in the shop. thousands of pounds of chocolate melted and sandwhiches have gone off.
we had fans on but heat was so bad, with the crowds, we were almost passing out, and all that food ruined! :eek: boss doesnt even know if we're insured! :eek:
came back in a bad mood! :thumbsdow
Lol yeah the bars here are mad! So hot and it takes ages to queue up for a drink. Luckily we are only 5 mins away in our accommodation we can have a pre-lash and then go out. :p
Tonight was a good night. All but one flatmate is back now. I have no idea where this one guy is he's always at some random flat party lol.
May have a night in tomorrow.
