How Was Your Day VI

Got a lecture at 3pm. I'm actually really enjoying my lectures. Had my first seminar today though and it was a bit weird.. this one student just spoke the whole time and it was a case of getting in there and saying something to get your point across. I eventually managed to say something at the end though!

Off to a cheese and wine gathering later. Think the cheese might come in handy for my tea. Had some angel delight for breakfast this morning - 6p from Morrisons, you can't go wrong - what a bargain!

I got paid in the end so I'm happy :)
I'm having a thoughtful night tonight, and have realised how much of a doormant I've been and what a mug I've been taken for. Hm.

Sent off my Celtic Manor application today, along with some cv's to some other local restaurants/hotels. Hopefully I'll get something, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I had some sad news today. One of my nieghbours died from Cancer on Tuesday. It was the husband of the couple I look after the cat for, he was taken into the hospice on Monday he was given two months to live but sadly lost his battle 24 hours later. Then my sister phoned to tell me my niece-in-law is having a miscarriage, she has not been keeping well since she found out she was pregnant, firstly her hormone levels were two low, they did a scan two weeks ago but there was a very faint heartbeat. She was due to have another scan next week but she started to bleed yesterday. Sadly there is nothing the hospital can do. Poor darling is in bits.

Oh no Kath that's awful news :( thinking of you, and your neighbours and your neice in law :(

Thanks Kirsty. I knew the neighbour had cancer last month before he went on holiday. He had the hospital when he came back to see what treatment he would be recieving but they found out it was terminal and since last friday it has went from having two months to live to die at least he is out of pain.

Claire and Gary are devasted about loosing the baby and there stress levels are through the roof with the new shop opening up soon. It's so hard as you don't know what to say she feels as if she has done something wrong.

So sorry to hear all that news Kath :( I really wouldn't know what to say in situations like that, but it's so sad. My thoughts go out to your neice in law and neighbours x

Had a really good night - went out to the students union. Tomorrow is going to be so awkward though. Apparently this guy I've been hanging out with loads really likes me according to a friend.. and he's meeting up with me and the other guy I slept with, tomorrow! I'm really hoping he doesn't say anything, but I can see it all coming out and everything being awkward and the guy who really likes me disapproving so badly! Arrghhh man!! :(

Davey you little tart :) Go and enjoy yourself chances are the guy who likes you won't find out what happened between you and this other guy. If so just laugh it off use the I was drunk line.

Kath, I am so sorry to hear about your nephew's baby. It is a hard thing to go through, I know from experience. The worst of it is lots of people say stupid things like, 'at least it was early'. When you are pregnant, in your mind you see the baby, not a potential baby. The baby is real to you straight away and a miscarriage is a death and you need to grieve.

I have had a WONDERFUL few days in London.

I was at the Farmers Weekly, Farmer of the Year Awards gala dinner at the Grosvener House Hotel in Park Lane.


It was a fantastic night, crowned by the fact my brother in law was named Beef Farmer of the Year!

Sorry to hear your news Kath

Well dont to your brother Trinity, thats good news.

My mates 21st was quality last night, had such a good time, lots of work to do today though, i need to go to the library but its open day so i dont know if i can be bothered.,

Sorry about your sad news Kath. *Gives Kath a virtual hug*

Trinity, well done to your brother-in-law, glad you enjoyed your time in London. :)

I've had a really good day :) Went to the UAF demonstration in Manchester which was fun. We had trouble persuading the cops to let us leave as they had everyone in a kettle. As we had two kids with us and a bus waiting they couldn't really refuse for long. It's twenty people less to control. Things were just starting to get interesting when we left :(

Don't you just love the feeling that no-one can be bothered to make time for you?? 2 of my closest friends are home from Uni every weekend, and everytime I ask them to come out they say no, because they can't be bothered... yet it's ok for them to be funny with me because I haven't been to see them yet? They don't even have to pay any money to get back here from Uni as another girl brings them back, I'd have to pay top get to them, and I was all set on doing so.. but after thinking about it, I don't really know why I should bother...

Anyways, I'm happy too because my aunty is paying for me to go and see my closest friend whos in Uni in London :D I am so excited. I'm goign for Halloween, so my Halloween will be spent in Leicester Square! How cool? :D

I need to get started on my assignments.. but I neeed a kick up the bum to do that lol.

Thank you all for your cuddles and caring words. We just have to believe that it happened for a reason but although the pregnancy was in it's early stages the feotus had a heartbeat so there was life and it does feel like there has been a death in the family. Claire is young she is only 25 so
hopefully she will be blessed with healthy children, and great aunt Kathleen will have a little darling to fuss over since biological child is growing up way to fast.

Kirsty I am sending you a virtual kiss up the ass get some work done. Trin congratulations on your brother's award.

It's such an awful situration :( happened to my Mum twice, not something to wish on anyone, not even your worst enemy, but life will go on in time, chin up :)

Thanks for the kick up the backside, but it's too late to start any work now haha... will do some tomorrow!

I got bored earlier and since being abandoned by my so called friends... I took my brother to the cinema to watch Up in 3D... it was so good! Really sad too! But very funny :)

I need a kick as well, i have a pile, thats just getting added to, and not going down at all! Gonna put a local radio station on the internet and try and get some done today but not very hopeful!

Watched the football last night Ireland Italy! So Close!

I am doing well today woke up with a slight headache as I have not been sleeping well recently :(

Awaiting to see if an offer made on a place I saw yesterday has been accepted or not. The waiting around is killing me!!

I've had a really fun afternoon and evening :) I sent someone an email last night telling them how much I appreciate them and we've had the best day ever. Went to the curry house and had some tea, then went to Sainsburys. Sounds pretty mundane but it was a whole load of fun. Haven't laughed that much in ages.

First lab session tomorrow morning which I am wholly unprepared for. Too much gallavanting and not enough work, as my mother would say.

I can't wait until half term. Too much work :( This year is sooo much worse than last year. My personal statement is still in a mess too.

On the plus side, I won an award for Economics :eek: Couldn't believe it, it's the subject I did the worst in of the ones I'm carrying on. I'm really annoyed that I don't have a way to get to the school for the award ceremony though :crying:

Feeling rather down, was told yesterday that a friend in Spain has passed away suddenly. So glad we spent time with him and his wife when we were there in August. :(

Sorry to hear that Perdita :( Sad news. Hope you and his wife are coping ok x

Starting to enjoy uni a bit more now. Just a bit concerned about my course - sometimes I feel a bit out of my depth but I want to try and give it my best. I guess that's all I can do? I just don't want to fail.

I also got asked out by this guy and we've been spending loads of time together. He is lovely. We went to the cinema the other day and watched 500 days of summer and we've walked along the beach and just looked out at the sea view. It's early days and we are taking things slowly and just enjoying each other's company.

That is sad news Perdita :( thinking of you and his wife x

Davey, that sounds sooooo romantic!! :) Also.... is 500 Days of Summer good? I really wnat to see it, I read the synopsis... kind of summed up my life lately haha.

I'm shattered,physically and mentally, and coming down with a cold.

We had our first night of restaurant yesterday, I was so so nervous, but our tutor was impressed with us all... and was surprised by how nervous I was, I think it's because I wanted to get it right as it's silver service and that, and I was worried about doing something wrong... when I did loads of things wrong haha, but thinking about it.. I'm not goign to get it right first time, it takes practice, but I hope I get there soon :)

Still no luck on the job front either, applied to loads of places, waiting for a phonecall off one, the lady said it would be a few days.. so I rang back today and the guy said that the boss was going through all the applications and if when I rang up my name and number was taken I'd be on the list... but that so many people have applied. I never heard anythign off Celtic Manor either :( nevermind. Obviously isn't meant to be!

Lost 1/2 lb tongiht at SLimming... I'm getting there very slowly lol
And went dancing, only to find out that actually I don't have 4 lessons left.. as we don't dance in half term, next week is my last week! I'm gutted haha... I have to leave, I need to move on, but it's just sad :( I've made so many good friends there, and my dancing teacher told me she was going to miss me tonight lol, so that nearly set me off lol.

Everythings so emotional lately, it's horrible.

Bit down this week.. over stupid things. Had a pretty good day today though, with 2 mates from college. So glad that so far (touch wood), we haven't lost contact.

I spent this morning arguing with 8 years old (my daughter's friend) over who was better Micheal Jackson or Madonna.. Course, I was the only one who like Madonna, but I defend her well :rotfl: The final result was.. Old people like Madonna :lol:

Thank you!!

Myself, the lollipop lady, one of the girls in the creche and a school teacher agreed with Madonna and that is why the kids said "old people like madonna" :lol:

Mind you, Ben did support me but they all just called him a mammy's boy

Sorry to hear about your friend Perdy, I'm sending you a virtual cuddle as you cuddled and many others cuddled me last week. Work has be crap this week. To cut a story short a consultant was bought in to do a report on the engineering department last months and his findings were to close down the Body and Paint programme, which means in three years there will be no body and paint classes taught at the college, plus we have a HMIE visit in november that everyone is panicing about. On top of that the head of the department was off sick for two weeks and the lecturers had a meeting with his boss a few things were said but to keep it short some stabbed him in the back. so today he had a meeting to flush out what was said it wasn't pretty and I had to take the minutes an hour and a half in a meeting and my head was like jelly. Thank goodness it's the weekend and the lecturing staff are on holiday next week I will get peace.

I've had a really fun weekend at a friend's new flat in Warwickshire :) Last night we lit candles, I cooked a three course meal and we sat talking for ages about growing up and other deep stuff that we don't get to talk about at uni.

The students union president rang this afternoon and invited us over for tea at his house in Birmingham. Really fun night, very deep and philosophical conversation which I understood none of but I saw a side to him that I've not seen before.

I've just got in so I'm going to sleep. It's been a busy but fun weekend and now I feel kinda lonely in my empty flat.

I had the worst day for a while. Had a lecture which turned out to be how to use the library catalogue :rolleyes: I didn't make it through the first year without figuring that out. Then I had to go for a risk assessment and now have it in writing that I can't use mounted syringes, scalpels or any other sharp objects, depex, tissue clear, I have to use plastic equipment instead of glass and I can't use chemicals at all. I know they're covering their backs but seriously?!! I think they've gone too far.

I feel that I should say something but what exactly? I understand where they're coming from in saying I can't use sharp objects but I've been well for nearly four years. I don't see that I pose a "medium" risk to myself or others. How am I supposed to do assessment practicals that involve the banned objects and chemicals?

After that it was time to drown my sorrows and then get involved in some union stuff whilst still drunk. Was fun though :D

I went winde tasting with College today... the thing itself was rubbish.. £20 down the drain, and the food was awful! But I had such a good day with my college buddies :)

I just wish everyday was that nice.... ugh.

Last dancing lesson on Thursday too... :(

Why do I always get every stomach bug going around? :sick: Was poorly last night but feel better this morning and gone to work. Not sure I manage all day in the office though. :(

Off sick today been sick all night and now woken up feeling hot :(

Thank god that I managed to book today and tomorrow off as holiday from work or I would of gone to work......

Feel old today aches and pains everywhere :(

I hope that you both feel better soon.

I am just home from a long weekend in Skye - the weather was wonderful and we had a great time cycling.

Unfortunately, I am straight back to work this morning, and hubby is off to the States for two weeks. I wish he didn't travel so much.:(

god i feel like such an awful person at the moment!

basically me and my boyfriend split becuase he kept letting me down and we never actually got to meet up after 3 months! but we've still been talking since and he keeps saying he loves me and that he is going to come down soon, but we always says this and to me now i cant believe a word he says and actions speak louder than words

then the other day this random guy from my uni added on me on facebook and we've been talking and hes really lovely and he said he lieks me, and i like him too, but now i feel bad becuase my ex is still saying he loves me and thats hes coming down etc, and if he did come down i'd forgive him and be so happy, but omg i feel like im cheating, even though im not with either person or doing anything with either person, i just feel really deceiptful and horrible :(

Bry.. you are not cheating.. you are single! As you said "action speak louder than words" and he has said he was coming down so many times and let you down.. you are not doing anything with this other guy... Have fun, your ex needs to make a effort and show you that he doesn't always break promises... don't beat yourself up..

I don't think you are cheating because you say that you have split up. You won't be able to switch off your feelings like a water tap so it is normal that he still has feelings for you and you for him. But one way to move on from what looks like a bad relationship, because you feel that he kept letting you down, is to get to know somebody else. Any chance of your ex coming down and you not feeling let down again shortly afterwards? It is quite ok to like what other people are saying, especially on internet chatrooms. Have you met the guy on Facebook yet? Whatever, Bryan, you are not an awful person, quite the opposite. Otherwise you would not beat yourself up about the situation you find yourself in at the moment. :)

We had the fire drill this morning. I mean it wasnt bad it was at 8am which isnt that early but it was raining- I was not happy

The halls here had a fire drill and then realised it wasnt actually a drill, that was quite amusing, someone had left something under the grill. Im assuming it was some hungry fresher after a night out.

I should be in the library, but my ipod has ran out of charge so i am waiting for it to recharge, there is no way i can do a day in there with no music!!! I am soo behind already as well.

Bry, you arent cheating at all, are single, you arent attatched to him anymore and if thats how he feels, then your right he should do something about it. Hope your ok

Hope you are feeeling better soon as well those who are sick. I have managed to avoid it all so far but i reckon no my lucki it will hit me just in time for reading week!

Last night I went to my dance aerobics class. The instructor sweated so much around the thigh area it looked like she peed herself.. I laughed so much at the end of the session.. seriously my stomach is aching from laughing so much :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Someone yesterday set their kitchen on fire by leaving cooking unattended tut tut :p...The uni sent all of us in the Student Village an email about unattended cooking with a picture attachment. Whoever it was has destroyed their kitchen! :eek:

I went to Oceana last night. Was a good night. They had good music, and I didn't spend that much. :)
