Ok, I brought it up with Gary about ten minutes ago. I said Caroline can't be at our house all the time, them canoodling on the sofa make me and Dan feel uncomfortable and she's inconsiderate towards certain things. He got defensive, said he doesn't see why his girlfriend can't come over and that she's not over as much as I'm making out. I said they could go over to her place. No, she doesn't like the people she lives with. Not my problem, she could put in for a transfer to other halls. No, that's too much work and she shouldn't have to. But we shouldn't have to put up with them all over each other. Well we'll tone it down and I'll try to get her to wash up more. The he said if we're going to have this conversation we should do it with Dan here. Agreed. To be continued...
Good luck x
Just keep calm at all times Abs, that way you will remember what you want to say.
Abigail have you spoke to Dan about this on your own? Does he feel the same as you, because the last thing you want is for Dan to turn round and say he's not bothered if Caroline is around or not. you need to make sure Dan is in agreement with you otherwise your going to be made out as some sh1t stirrer. As Moonie says keep calm, say your peace don't get uptight your in the right.
I spoke to Dan on Thursday night and he feels the same but he's not the sort of person who would say anything. I wish I hadn't brought it up now.
I really fancy this guy. I met him about November time and didn't see or speak to him again until a few weeks ago. Well now I can't stop thinking about him or wanting to see him :lol: I feel like a teenager again! We're going out for dinner tonight with a group of mutual friends. The first time we met I thought he was a bit strange as he kept staring at me. He put a kiss on the end of his last text, which he hadn't done before. I'm sitting here laughing at myself for getting excited over a kiss on a text.
Apart from that, everything is good :D Finished my project work so I've just got to analyse results and type my dissertation up.
What do you mean 'apart from that, every thing is good'!
That sounds pretty good too! Have a good time tonight :)
I meant aside from my sudden infatuation life is going pretty good I think. I don't think I said, I spoke to one of my lecturers the other day and he said if I carry on getting good grades this semester I will most likely come out with a first in my degree. That kinda blew me away on Friday, I wasn't expecting such good news at 8.30am!Quote:

I started a part-time degree with the OU in October, and so far I have been getting grades that are at distinction level for this module - it really makes you work harder so as not to lower your average.
I am totally loving my course, which is weird because it is so different to everything I have ever done before. My first degree was a B.Sc in biochemistry, and then I studied accounting for a while and worked in audit. Not although I am working full-time in research administration I am studying literature, history, art and philosophy. Love it!
I've made the big time!
My new book, Behind the Colonnade, has made it to no. 1 in Amazon's bestselling Museum books!
Please form an orderly queue for autographs....:)
Well done!!!! :cheer:Quote:

I got butterflies when he sent me a message on facebook earlier (I sound like I'm 12!) and just thinking about him makes me smile. I feel like my brain has been invaded as I don't ever get this squishy squirmy feeling.
I would love to go to the British Museum, I have to write an essay on the Benin Bronzes and there is a good display in the BM - the NMS is being refurbished and the ones they have are not on display. I have asked if I can see them, but they are too busy getting ready of the reopening in July :(
I've been to the British Museum, its really good. The Egypt and mummies display was brilliant.
I've got a sore throat and sore ears. :( We had briefings from the Principal this week on the cuts. 54 members of staff to go before August. 25 Lecturing Staff and 27 Support Staff. I'm alright just now but there are some friends who's jobs are going those of us who are left will get extra work landed on to them without any extra money.
i went to the manchester museum the other day...buts its not quite the same as the BM!
My parents are away for the weekend, so i have the house to myself, going to revise for a bit and then chill out and watch the football and dvds later! its derby day!
Ok, I'm really tired so I'll keep this short. Had a really good day, Rob and I hardly stopped talking :) On the train back we were talking about the local area and he asked if I'd been to a particular place. I said no as I don't have a car and not sure of the public transport. He said "what if a good looking guy with a car took you there?" I was so tired I didn't get what he was saying for a few seconds then I completely ignored it and changed the subject. I don't know if he was asking me on a date or just generalising. We then got talking about an acquaintance and Rob said he was good looking and did I fancy this guy (no is the short answer).
I feel like we really connected today. There weren't any awkward silences and I learnt a lot about him. I just hope I didn't give the impression I'm not interested. I could just ask him how he feels but that's too easy :p I'm used to playing games and the last time I told a guy how I felt he completely ignored it and we're still not talking properly. That wasn't like this though, he's so easy to talk to and there's nothing fake about him.
I think its time to crash.
I fell down the stairs this morning and hurt my coccyx. I can't sit or lay on my back because it hurts so much. I'm going to the doctors tomorrow (should have gone today really...) to get some painkillers and check I haven't broken anything. I'm having trouble urinating so I presume I've strained my pelvic ligaments. I'm just a bit concerned about getting another UTI/kidney infection because of not being able to urinate properly.
On a more positive note, I've got a job interview in Portsmouth :)
Hope you are ok again real soon, gl with the interview xx
I saw the doctor today and she said I've damaged several vertebrae and it'll take at least a month to heal.
I spent the afternoon with Rob :) We went to B&Q and had a ride round, I enjoyed it. He's started mentioning his ex, I'm not sure what that's about :hmm: I've been thinking about this job in Portsmouth and what it might mean if I get it, should anything happen between us. He's doing an open university course so he could move with me but I'm not sure he would leave the area. Given that I'll know within the next month what's happening, I think we need to talk and see if anything if likely to happen between us.
My toilet is blocked again. I threw some wet wipes down it a few days ago after cleaning the toilet. Bad move.
Starting to wonder how many complete nutters I can come across while food shopping. Today this bloke was following me down to Sainsbury's and asked if he knew me. I said no, but I had a suspicion he was the one outside Tesco in a car a while back. There was me thinking he was going to ask for directions and he started asking if I studied here and if I lived here. I made my excuses saying I had to get back and put the frozens away and he asked for my phone number! I made out I didn't know it then ended up having to take his number and promptly bin it. I thought he was about to realise and then ask why I hadn't called, then he kept asking if I was single! Was going to go to poundland but he went in that direction so I wasn't going near there today! It was only the other week that some guy started skipping along the pavement going, "hello, hello, hello" urgh.
Flatmate got locked IN his room last week, that was quite amusing. His girlfriend had to pass her phone in through the window so he could speak to the maintenance people.
I went to see the King's Speech last night with my hubby, thoroughly enjoyed it and Colin Firth was amazing. Totally recommend it.
I am going to an OU tutorial on the Benin Bronzes and philosophy this morning. I am planning on getting my next essay done on Sunday/Monday (I have taken a day off work). It is all getting harder now, but I got 85% for my last TMA and am averaging 82% over the course so far.
Trying to decide whether to go an see the Death of A Salesman in Perth tonight, possibly not as it is a bit of a hike home, and snow is forecast up there, saw A View from the Bridge a couple of weeks ago at the Lyceum in Edinburgh and it was a fantastic production. Soon going to be studying Sophocles' Antigone, by way of the Seamus Heaney translation, might just stay in and watch a DVD of an ancient version of Antigone.
i love going to the thearte, my favourite is the exchange in manchester, the one thats in the round and you get some really good actors and actresses in it and i think that if i see someone i want to see i go to the play which has been great cause i have seen so many plays that i wouldnt go and see usually. I saw Macbeth last year because iot had Jason Done in it from Waterloo Road whch was brilliant, my dad was impressed as its not something i would usually do voluntarily! i think its a defintate sign i have grown up!
Im heading into uni today, on a saturday! had two exams already but next week hell week begins, got one every day till a week on monday!
Ergh bad night. Flatmate decided to come back with a load of mates, make a racket and keep everyone up. Was woken up at 11 by him as well. Then when I went to get some food I realise someone's stolen my pizza. Bet that was him as well, no one else is pathetic enough to steal food.
The joys of being a student and living in halls :DQuote:

Ive been at eastlands today, bit of a break from my revision. Bricking it for my exam tomorrow...if its a bad as fridays then im scared! The game was a good distraction though, lots of goal which is just what you want, it was good to warm us up as well,,, it was very cold up there!
So tirrrrred, had a bit of a wild one last night, a friend from works 21st birthday, it was a really good night :) I don't know why I think I'm big and clever to try and pull all nighters because it's not cool! Didn't get back to Phils until 5:45 and then got hardly any sleep... merghhhhhh. Feeling happy at the moment apart from the tiredness! :)
I have not been in here for agees, I've left college, trying to find a job which is really really hard, today I've lost my glasses can't seem to remember where I put them last night before I went to sleep, better find them soon, cause I hate being without them with a passion. The boy's got a really bad cough and I have a funny feeling I'm getting that off him :(
Nice to hear from you Tannie. Good luck with finding a job :)
im going to see Jason Derulo tonight at the apollo! im really looking forward to it
Have a fab time!!!! :DQuote:

I went onto ticketmaster and found the tikets have been on sale since last Friday, anyway not to be put of I went into town to the record shop and chanced my luck. They don't have the tickets yet but they are giving vouchers in exchange for payment then once the tickets come in you can swap the vouchers for the tickets. So 1 July I'll be screaming my head off and shaking my booty to Olly. :D
sounds great! ^^^
Jason Derulo was awesome.. he put on a proper show, loads of dancing and things and shontelle was supporting, she was quite good as well
Me and Rob slept together the other night. He was very drunk, I was almost sober. He was texting another girl all night before getting into bed with me (yes, I know I should have kicked him out...). I wouldn't say it was a mistake, even though he's into another girl. I still can't figure out where I stand with him but I know I'm being as clear as mud with him. I still like him but I don't know if I can trust him. I never thought he'd be the sort of guy to be interested in one girl and sleep with another at the same time but I also never thought he would say or do anything like he did either.
We haven't really spoken about it. He was very interested in what time I left yesterday's morning.He sent me an email earlier about some posters and finished it with "I look forward to hearing from you." I thought that was very formal and he didn't put 'hugs' or kisses on the end like he usually does. So yeah, confused. He's coming over tomorrow to see my house mate so we'll see how things are in person. If he's not as friendly as usual then I know it wasn't the best idea.
Abigail.. he doesn't sound right for you.. I think after sleeping with him you can ask him where you stand.. don't let it drag on until you have falling for him too much and would be willing to put up with his crap
On a different note.. I became a grand aunt for the 10th time today.. My niece had a baby boy at 3am this morning...
