hope you had a good birthday Kirsty
I'm watching the telly and typing up my essay, finally nearly finished thankfully. I'm going to the gym later want to get my fitness back up, easter has been bad! going to enter a few races over summer as well hopefully.
Last day at work for me today before I am off to Mauritius on Monday, only for a week, which will fly by, I am sure, but I am looking forward to some sun and beach and no work for a few days. :D
Lucky you.. it is miserable here..weather is dreadful.. enjoy yourself
Hope you have a good week Perdita. Is this the wedding you mentioned a while ago?
I've been rather busy the past few days. The house hunting isn't going good. I honestly don't know how landlords get away with letting properties in that state. One house had mould growing up one wall, another had bed bugs and was damp, the bathrooms are damp and mouldy. The estate agents said they were in a good condition :confused: I'd love to see the ones in a bad condition.
We looked at one house and they were having a porn photo shoot :eek: Each to their own but they knew we were going to look round.
Revision today, then going to Sam's for the weekend.
Glad you had a good birthday Kirsty :thumbsup: Have a nice time away Perdita :)
I am off out tonight with some friends - going to a gay bar. We've been planning it for ages :D We are all very happy at the moment, as we've won the lottery. We won £822. If we had one more number, we would have won £50,000.
Congratulations on your lottery win, enjoy your spending spree. Shame about the one more number, but a little win is better than no win :D
Have a good time perdita :D
Wow that is lucky davey! :cheer: well done
If only I could win something, today me and my mum have been looking at student loans and how much I get and then the accomodation Im gonna pick, I would say its not looking good but its a mix, I mean its a lot of money not as much as others would get but still its just the idea of being able to cope
Went to my friends 18th last night, and quite a few people were proud of me for not getting drunk lol! :p It was a good night, I didnt sit down once! on the dance floor the whole time :p

Had a busy weekend with my future house mates. Saturday we had a bbq in the nature reserve in the dark. Was pretty special. The shopping trip to get the food was so much fun.
We rented a dvd but only got chance to watch the first half hour. To cut a long story short, Ash went back to his flat to get some popcorn only to find a padlock on his cupboard. He's been having some problems with his flatmates for a while now. We managed to get the padlock off and his cupboard empty.
As retribution and suspecting that Ash's food was in the cupboard, we took his flatmate's cupboard off the wall. We'd all had quite a bit to drink by this point. We did a few other things too :ninja: We put the cupboard in a shopping trolley, covered it with a cloth and proceeded to take it to a friend's to get the padlock off. The plan would have been fine had we not got stopped outside the security office. Had a ten minute argument between us, the security guard and the flatmate. I really don't know how nobody noticed the cupboard shaped box in the shopping trolley :rotfl: I was silently laughing to myself when security were asking what we'd done with it.
Monday was the election count :ninja: Our slate lost all the positions except two, non-port and president. It was such a relief to win president, we lost positions by 7 - 30 votes. President was last to be counted, the whole slate was feeling very depressed by this point. That was such a great feeling to get the news we all really wanted. We may have lost the election on the whole but we have presidency and an exec and still retain control of council. :cheer:
Another bit of good news: we finally have a house :D It's a little gem. Four bedrooms, new kitchen, new bathroom, huge lounge and a nice garden. There's only three of us so we're still deciding what to do with the fourth bedroom. It's three doors down from the takeaway and corner shop and a 30 second walk to another takeaway. Student union is a minute away. I'm so excited, can't wait for August.
The past week has been spent with Sam and Ash, my house mates to be. We've had so much fun, eating together, playing games, getting drunk, making mischief, having random conversations. It's going to be a great couple of years living together and we can't wait to move into our new home:thumbsup:
A very close and old friend of mine had a sudden stroke at the weekend.
She is 45 years old and has two boys aged 13 and 16. Her husband was told last night to tell the boys that their mum is unlikely to live through today.
My heart goes out to them, it is so so sad and I can't stop crying.
I phoned the hospital. They won't tell me anything other than the family are not there and will not be in today. What does that mean!!!
I am fearing the worst and I can't stop crying..
Trin I'm so sorry to hear about your friend 45 years old that is just unbelieveable god knows what her family must be going through. If her family are not at the hospital they may have been told not to go in as they are doing more test and the hospital won't tell you anything. I hope she pulls through my thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear about your friend Trinity. :( Hope she gets better.
Right I must do my biology coursework today, the final draft is due tomorrow but its ok cos I havent got a lot do to
Im really annoyed today! :angry: I was at work 11:30 and I was suppose to be working till 3:30. There were 3 of us on and well it was dead, so the head waitress for the day who is a year younger than me and I now that shouldnt matter and shes the boss's daughter said , abbie you might as well call for a lift now cos theres nothing to do, this was at 2, so I signed out at 2
I mean fair enough! but why is it always me that signs out early or leaves early is p***es me off cos the others work more than once week and well I work only once a week so it just doesnt seem fair, the other girl could have went!
I really cant stand her, Ive never liked her and never will
My house is hard work. They never speak I try and make conversation and I get grunted at. I can't waitto move out. Just watching a ballykissangel on dvd.how I lve that programme.
Got lots of revision todo tomorrow the sooner the exams are over the better.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
My friend died today.
She was brain dead, the ventilator was switched off and her organs donated.
I can't beleive it.

It is so weird, my friend and I have kind of lived parallel lives for the past 20 odd years. We met at work, married a year apart and had our kids a year apart.
I can't believe she is gone. I don't know how her husband will cope - he is heart broken, and the boys are so young (13 and 16). The elder one is due to sit his Highers (Scottish A Levels) in two weeks.
How can it be that someone is perfectly fine one week, and the next week they are switching off the life support machine because they are brain dead?
I could understand more if she had had an accident, but she didn't, she had a stroke at 45.
I know that 45 seems old to a lot of you, but it isn't, it is young! It is only half way there.
I can't believe it, I really can't.
I'm really sorry to hear your tragic news Trinity :(
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. It is so much worse when it is that sudden. It's so difficult. I'm thinking of you.
So sorry to hear that Trinity :( Thinking of you x
45 is not old.. I can understand why you are so shocked.. I would be too... as you said it is not like she had an accident or something.. one day she was there, the next not..Quote:

So sorry to hear about your sad news Trinity......
Had a really good weekend been away with my partner daughter 3 brothers and 2 neices... every one really enjoyed it....
been with my nana today on a bus trip to denby pottery at derby....
Itt's so frightening that you can have a stroke at any age now. My friends neice had one last year she is only 30 turned out she had a heart condititon that she never knew she had.
I am so sorry about your friend, Trinity, it is tragic. :(
Had a lovely time in Mauritius, the island is gorgeous and the people so very friendly. My stepdaughter's wedding went without any problems, in the hotel garden bordering the beach. A very beautiful location for a wedding. :)
I would not mind going back there one day although 15 hours in an aeroplane is somewhat off-putting. :thumbsdow
Wedding in Mauritius - how romantic!
(Although it sound kind of like taking your folks on your honeymoon, to me!)
I am still waiting to here the date of the funeral for my friend, hopefully it will not be before Friday when my hubby comes home from Texas.
No contact was allowed with the newly weds after the wedding, we were also not allowed to stay in the same hotel as they were, so they have had a very private honeymoon the same as if they had got married in UK and then gone off on a holiday. But getting married there allowed me to have a nice holiday at the same time which I would not have had if they had got married in UK :DQuote:

Perdy's got PIG FLU. quick everyone grab your tin-foil hats and crusifix. :rotfl:Quote:

Is it a cold sore, or is it the beginning of a snout?
(I am sorry, I know that you don't feel well. Aeroplanes are dreadful for spreading bugs and things.)
I am still clinging to the belief it is a cold sore but starting to think it could turn into a snout :lol:Quote:
