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.

[Siobhan]

Lucky you.. it is miserable here..weather is dreadful.. enjoy yourself

[Abigail]

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 I'd love to see the ones in a bad condition.

We looked at one house and they were having a porn photo shoot 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 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 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.

[Perdita]

Congratulations on your lottery win, enjoy your spending spree. Shame about the one more number, but a little win is better than no win

[Abbie]

Have a good time perdita

Wow that is lucky davey! 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! It was a good night, I didnt sit down once! on the dance floor the whole time

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 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 I was silently laughing to myself when security were asking what we'd done with it.

Monday was the election count 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.

Another bit of good news: we finally have a house 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

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.
