Aww, hopefully it will stop raining for you, so you can have pics with the limo, we were lucky it was quite nice for us, if not some pics i have seen of others have them with umbrella's lol if you really want one by the limo
i can't believe it i passed my first year at uni, means i get to go into the second year and i dont have to resit. I cant stop smiling.
Well done Katy :D
And I hope you enjoy your night tonight.. is it liek a ball or something??
And Perdita, my interview is August 4th at 12pm.. so I have some time to prepare myself for it.. I jsut never know what to... prepare haha. So any tips would be a great help :) Thanks.
Tiring day today on day 3 of Work experience. Weather was horrible too. We didn't really do much. We had the sciency teacher in though teaching the kids about fruit and their seeds and that.. then they had a fruit feast in the hall trying different fruit.. the little devils scoffed it all! Haha
Supposed to be going Slimming tonight but I can't exactly afford to pay 2 weeks so I'll use money I get at the end of the week to pay for 3 next week instead... and it's hammering down and I have further to walk now so I'm not bothering!...Plus I've been bad :(
well done Katy :D

I hate the countryside. And rain.
That is all I've got to say about my pointless day :p
i never went to guides or brownies when i was younger so dunno if its all guides or just this one lol! yesterdays i suppose was boring for me cos i was just sitting there for most of it but what my sis had prepared for them to do was fun, but my sis said that the main leader is useless and most weeks they dont really do much and its so boring. she said most of the time the kids are just standing talking or running around cos they dont have anything interesting to do. my sis hates it! sounds like a complete waste of money to me!Quote:

That way you can show that you are really interested in the job and you can get a feel for who you will be working for and/or with, you will know the location (believe me, lots of people have turned up late for interviews because they did not know where to go!). I would also advise to dress smartly even if the job will not require you to do so later. Also try to find out as much as you can (internet is great) about the company history, how long they have been in the area etc. and mention these points at the interview, if you can. Again, it shows that you bothered to find out a bit more than perhaps the other applicants. And get to the interview on time, smile a lot and keep eye contact during the interview.
Good luck, I will be thinking of you, even though I shall be lying on the beach in Spain. :cheer:
Thank you so much :)..and I shall be very jealous of you Perdita as you will be in Spain! But I hope you ahve a nice time!
The job is for Vue Cinema as a Guest assistant.. so I will be on ticket booth, confectionary and showing people to seats and that. The interview is in our job centre in town because Vue Cinema will be in the multiplex thing which won't be ready until September/October.. so no-one I know actually works there but there should be alot of jobs going.
I've been on their website already to do the application form and had a little read about, I'll go back on there and read it all properly though.
And sorry.. another questiopn (I will shut up soon, I promise!) Is it a bad thing when they ask you if you have any questions to ask about the pay? And discount? I never know what to ask lol!
Day 4 work experience= tiring. All I did today was clean! I had to put ALL the lego into the sandbox of water and wash it all and put it back.. along with other toys then it was taking displays down and oooh it's been non stop! Haha
There was a supply teacher in today though and she was young. She asked me if it was what I wanted to do and all and so I wa slike well yeah but I don't want to go far and I've looked on the internet and can't find a Uni that's close enough. Luckily the supply teacher informed me that Caerleon Uni does a teaching course...which she has jsut finished so I am definately going to try there! It's only about a half hour drive so I could still live at home if I wasn't ready to stay away :)
We had to get pictures standing against a wall undercover before the prom, as the rain went off a bit when I left to go to the place where we were meeting the limo, but got harder before I got there. The driver let us take pictures with the limo when we got back after the prom though as it had stopped raining then so that was good. One of the people I went in it with got cut off in one of them though, and in the other one is looking away. They're not bad pictures though and we're sending our pictures to each other so hopefully I'll get an even better one at some point; my friend's dad took loads.
Today, haven't done much. Woke up really early after an unpleasant dream about what my results were...well not entirely but the D and 3E's was enough to wake me up lol! Wouldn't mind the 2A*'s out of that dream though. Got a letter to say the county council are subsidising a bus pass for me next year after all.. it doesn't cost any more to send me to my school than the designated one. I just hope it isn't more expensive to send me there next year as they don't guarantee they'll give me one for Year 13... really don't want to have to pay almost £1000 out in bus fares in Year 13 as I'll be wanting to save up for uni particularly in that year.

Not so good to ask about is the sickness scheme :lol: but ask about pension schemes. If I can think of anything else, I shall get back to this thread. :D
In PSHEE once we were told that we should find out about the firm, so that we know about it when we arrive for any interviews. That way you can drop bits that you know about the firm into your answers, and it will help to show that you're really interested in working for them in particular and not just any job that you can get.
I spent most of the day at the hospital today. I had to go for X rays on my face. One side of my face is bigger than the other and they wanted to see what has caused it... they did the X ray and you could see that one side of my face - the bone was sticking out slightly more on side than the other bone on the other side... compliment of the day they said it was a "weird case" and I have a bigger mouth than what is usual ... :lol: I had to bite into this wax so they could see how my jaw functions when I eat something.
Now, I have to see the surgeon as they want to investigate why my face is like this and they fear that my one side may grow out and become bigger than the other side and if so, I may need surgery...but it could just stay as it is now with one side being slightly bigger - the surgeon will basically just give me a scan of my jaw, then offer his expert opinion and advice.
crickey Dave poor you. hope you don't have to have an operation. Do they know what has caused it?
Aww, Davey, hope you don't need surgery and that the surgeon can tell you what it is. Best wishes xx
Awww I've finished work experience! :(
I had an amazing time to be fair and I now know that teaching is definately the path I want to take :D
Today was fun! We had a little hindu party after dinner which basically turned into a normal party haha and then we watched Monster's Inc. :D
I'm soo going to miss being over there! :(
I had a box of chocolates and a little thankyou card too.. then I couldn't get the kids off me lol. Bless them!! :)
Driving later. I can't even drive properly and I stress and panic too much lol
i made it to my mates it involved a lot of waiting at stations and walking round in circles but im here now. Never felt so relieved to get somewhere in my life.
Hope the driving goes well.
Driving wasn't that bad after :) Apart from the lack of use on my mirrors are a big problem... I will sort it though :D
Another friday night and I'm stuck in. I need a job! :(
My nephew was on the local bbc news today. Basically he is an amature photogapher and him and a couple of mates came across an old disused hospital in Lanarkshire. They went inside to take some photos but found loads of old x-rays with peoples personal details on it and other documents. Someone from the bbc saw the photos on his web-page and he was asked to go to Glasgow yesterday to be interviewed. I will post the link below for you all to see.

Got back from holiday on Sunday and stayed at my sister's until today.
Had a great holiday, I didn't want to come home and really wished I'd stayed there when we landed at Newcastle to find it slinging it down :thumbsdow It's rained every day since I've been back.
I've got some great pictures and videos so I might post some up later.
I forgot to add, congrats on turning pink Perdita and thanks for the welcome back pm :D
Wowww. That's crazy! Well cool though!! :thumbsup:Quote:

Going to have a little celebration on Monday because I have worked for the same employer for 25 years. Got a new dress of eBay which arrived in time :cheer: and got matching nail varnish today, so I am pleased. :D
Wow, 25 years. I was wondering earlier how long you've lived in Germany. Are you going to receive a special gift? My dad got a watch for his 25 years service.
What will I do without you for five weeks? :crying: Three weeks was bad enough.
Fun day. We went to Hyde Park and eat sweets and played cards. Then we got bored so we started waving at the tour buses trying to get people to wave back. We made a sign saying wave!! :lol: Ahh we had such a laugh. :lol: People on the tour buses were taking pictures of us! We must of looked like a bunch of nutters :o We're going again next week :cool:
Trains were a nightmare though. Part closures due to engineering works. I wouldn't mind but there's never any improvement!
Well, I have got problems believing this myself, but the 25 years are not all in one piece, I did actually live in UK for a number of years inbetween. However, I have lived in Germany now for over 20 years :eek: :eek: No special gift, because I work for the MoD a senior military officer will present me with a certificate, the rest is all a secret but I believe that the few guests I have invited and some others (don't know who) might go for lunch somewhere nice (or NAAFI are providing sandwiches :sick: ) Sorry to NAAFI and their employees but your catering sucks).Quote:

Went to town with my friend
Went to my Mums

Nahh, I ahd the chance to go to a party but I hadn't been invited by the actual person so I didn't want to jsut turn up :)
They say "Never say Never" but the plan is to move to Spain in about 6 years. The UK is just wo expensive compared to other EU countries but I do miss it (especially Southampton where I have some family and where I used to live).
