In a bit of a pickle :p. Had induction for another job today... I start that job next Saturday... but my job I got now... house have been put up for Easter... so... so don't know how I'm going to quit. hahah. Just need to make something up :| but what :p.
What do you mean house has been put up for easter?
Been on a road trip with Sam today. We had lots of fun and laughs and had a Q&A session on the train. Went to the Saturday church service at Coventry Catherdral then to his mum's house for tea. We were going to his house but didn't have time.
Tomorrow Sam is being inducted onto the local church council so I'm going to go watch that. He hasn't invited his girlfriend :ninja: She's really jealous of our relationship so I don't know how she's going to take that.
Someone said to me yesterday that we should get together but it's like we're already married, minus the intimacy.
Tell them the truth Lea that you have found another job that pays more money, you don't have to lie they will understand. What is the new job. I've not done much today went to B&Q and bought some paint going to paint the hall during the easter hols Marley is going to Haven in Blackpool with my nephew and his wife and my nephew's son for a few days so I'll get it done then.
I went to my night out and the head of school had a free bar all night, needless to say we took advantage, paying for it a bit now though
Going to chill out today and then start packing ot head back to manc tomorrow.
ive had a sort of nonwork productive day today, went food shopping, did all the washing up and cleaned my bathroom. after ive eaten dinner im gonna tidy my room
Today i went to HMV and bought nothing tried to get my dad to buy me the sound of music but he just wasn't having it!:lol: Then got back home and just been on the computer now i'm trying to do my history essay but i don't know how to start it i might actually leave "Want" till later and start with Disease or something cause i actually know what it mean's. Althrough i do know what "want" means just i can't remember it excatly if that makes sense?
Not good day; coming home from work - was going down a road that was incredibly windy, went round a really tight corner, steered too late and ended up in a really thick hedge :rolleyes: The car was like in the bush, reversed out and part of the bumper fell off - flipping brilliant. The front left of the car is pretty screwed, and you can't open the bonnet because its smooshed and wont open - and the lights broken :(
I was giving a girl from work a lift home too - it was horrible, i felt so bad i've never crashed or anything like this before. But we are both okay so thats the main thing! Its horrible though, i feel like ive let everyone down, i dont know if i even trust myself with other people in the car now - i want to, but i feel like they wont trust me etc - i am a good driver, but its just one of those things :|
Oh the plus side - did our drama show yesterday and it went amazing!
sorry to hear about your car. glad your show went ok though :)Quote:

I'm really worried about someone :( He's going to Blackpool tomorrow for NUS conference until Thursday and I'm concerned he might do something. I've been with him tonight and he keeps saying he wants to kill himself. I know a few people who are going but they don't know half the stuff he's told me and what state of mind he's in.
I do honestly think that he could walk off the pier or do something similar. He tried ringing NUS earlier to see if I could go as his carer/helper (he has a disability) but it's too late. I was crying earlier because I know he's capable of doing it and I'll be three hours away from him.
Two presentations to give tomorrow :( I really can't be bothered.
I am sure he will be ok, Abigail. xx
yesterday my mum and sis came down to look at a house me and my sis might be moving to next year but it was really horrible, but weve got a viewing on thursday for another house which looks a lot nicer. my mum bought me lunch in wetherspoons which was good and i bought a new skirt. then went netball and i played centre for a change and it wasnt too bad actually
today ive got a seminar in a bit and i think weve got a guest lecture in so hopefully in should be interesting. then ive gotta hang around for 1hr til cheerleading where we are gonna be practising stunting for the whole 2hrs so should be fun. then gotta wait around for another hour til the netball agm and voting for the new committee, glad ive got loads of work to do in those times though i hate sitting in the library!
It is April Fool's Day today, I rarely play tricks on anybody though, I usually always forget until it is afternoon:lol:
Do any of you play April Fool's jokes on your friends and family?
Not feeling like joking today - hubby has had a 10% pay cut imposed. Had to let the cleaner and gardener go, and reduce health club membership to one (it was kind of stupid being a member of both David Lloyd and Banatynnes so that isn't a hardship really.)
I feel sorry for my cleaner, loads of her customers are in the same boat and it is really affecting her business badly.
Sadly this is an effect of the recession. Glad that hubby still has a job though, I hope that the pay cut is sufficient to keep his company going.
I will be suprised if they are still in business this time next year...:(
Positive thinking, Trinity, a lot can happen in the course of this year. :)
yesterday i had my seminar which was ok then got a lot of work done before meeting up with some people who i hadnt seen since before xmas so that was nice :) today im gonna tidy my room, then ive got a house viewing so i hope its nice
Just got the info on building my dream house in germany... it is made out of wood (actual trees) and it is very very cheap too 100K all inclusive!! :eek::eek:
The plot of land is only 25K score!!! just need a job now and I am set to move

Hope it all works out.
Had a revision session this morning. Didn't wake up until half an hour before the lecture began. I've never got dressed so quickly (10mins).
Got to go hand some assignments in and print some things off in the library. Need to do some washing and then I'll start on the revision.
Only got a 1000 report to do over the holidays. Not sure I actually need to do it though. The lecturer is useless, he won't tell us anything and nobody knows what the portfolio is about.
Beautiful day today :) Bit muggy but warm enough to go out in a vest and cardi.
Wow! I hope that it all works out for you - sounds wonderful - Good luck!Quote:

Any chance of me getting a job in one of them? So fed up in my present one at the mo. :(
Awww wow I never knew you were movingQuote:

Aww well Im glad your doing it then :) Can I ask why you waited till he was 6?
Finished school for easter today :D I won't see the light of day with all this work though. Going to stay with my dad's cousin again on Saturday so I have a big bag of work to take with me. Oh the joys!
Even have a piece of coursework to do, surely they should have set that ages ago :rolleyes: Psychology teacher set us a load of work to force us to revise his way. He got funny with me and these boys who didn't have a booklet that the other teacher gave out, as we'd left it in our folder of the other teacher's work and was like, "Well you might as well not be here." :(
And my Business presentation went badly. 14/50 marks that it was worth suddenly seems quite significant.
Wow Good luck on the move Shiv, hope everything works out well for you. How do the kids feel about moving to Germany.
Teachers don't know everything. Revise the way you want to, not the way your teacher says you should. Everybody works differently and your teacher should recognise that.Quote:

Ugh I thought things were supposed to get better when they've gotten so bad. Everything seems to be falling apart around me, at first it was school but now things are going wrong at home, it seems liek I have nowhere and no-one to go to clear my head. Nothing I say/do seems to help at home, and I can't do right in school either. I really do give up with everything now.
end rant.
I feel so low and down, not been like this for a long time. Work is soo frustrating at the moment and to top it all, I have just found out that on Monday and Tuesday next week there will be strikes all over the place and I need to go to meetings. I don't look forward to pass all the people on the gates :(
Ben is grand about it but Charley not so much.. she will miss her friends... Her dad said he would move close by too so she will still see him.. I can't get her to understand there is webcams, emails and ireland is only 2 hour flight away...Quote:

Strikes are awful, and it is horrendous having to go through picket lines - what country are you in at the moment? Is there any way the meetings can be rescheduled or relocated? Alternatively is video conferencing an option? If you absolutely have to go through the picket lines, just take any leaflets and be polite. It is often only when you try to make a dash for it that they get annoyed.
I live in Germany and the meetings cannot be rescheduled or relocated, I have done this once already and a couple of the people I need to speak to will not be around for a long time after Monday, next week is the only chance I have to make headway in the job. I need to pass the picket line to get out of my place of work, I hope to get in before they all converge. Still, it is a short week as Friday is Good Friday and I will have a long weekend.
I hate going through picket lines, it has happened to me a few times - once on the first day of a new job :( Thankfully, the pickets have been understanding and really just wanted to bring attention to their dispute rather than the violent picket lines we saw during the miners strike.
Also, most of them gathered in the morning, there were none left when I was leaving in the evening. They also were more interested in people going into work rather than those leaving, so if you get in early you should miss the worst of it.
I have no idea what picket lines are like in Germany, but you need to try to put it out of your mind and relax over the weekend.
Take care

Try and not let it get to you Perdita (however that may be difficult) Enjoy the weekend and try and not think too much about it.
I always find it helps whenever I am in a situation I don't want to be in, I look forward and think of the things I'm most looking forward too to give me a boost. Just think you will have a short week and Easter is just around the corner!
All the best :)
I took Marley to see Monsters V Aliens very funny film. Kiefer really sends himself up in this film, he plays and army general who advices the President and he says stuff like "you have to listen Mr President" not having a dig at 24 at all or am I looking too much in to it. Then got a phone call when I came home from my neice in law Claire. Claire and Gary my nephew are taken Marley to Haven in Blackpool on Wednesday but they phone to say they are taking her tomorrow until Monday as well they are going camping in the campervan down the east cost to Eyemouth and Haven at Seaton Sands, which is just outside Edinburgh so I am getting piece all weekend :cheer:
