The W word

Friday the 11th Aug: My last day working for the training provider, i am so relieved. Don't get me wrong i loved my job, it's the people i couldn't stand, some of them were good friends and i will try to keep in touch with them, but the others i'm certanly not going to miss. The company knew Head Office had people problems, and were trying to boost moral by weekly quizzes and get this a bowling trip, but as with everything that you try and change you soon get the same click bowling together and being on the same team and leaving others out. You might as well just chuck money down the drain.

All that is behind me now, as i look forward to new pastures on the Work front. I've given myself a week off to recharge my batteries, before the long slog up to xmas in a new job role. Wish me well.

D-Day

Well today was my D-Day, (Driving Test Day), everything was going really well, then... the examiner told me to turn right up this big hill, bear in mind i've never even been up this hill before, either as a passenger or a driver. So i was mainly focusing on getting up the hill, didn't expect there to be a blind sharpe bend at the top, put it this was i was going a bit fast and cliped the curb, whilst trying to get round the corner. Then meeting a road sweeper so had to brake for that. I knew at that point that i had failed and guess what that's what the examiner failed me on.

At the end he asked me if i had taken the test before, and i hadn't this was my first time and he was quite suprised as i only got 7 minors. But never the less he still failed me, then thought it would be a good idea to say if you had slowed down when approaching the bend i would have passed. Nothing like kicking a gal down.

After my test i asked my partner if he would drive up the aformentioned hill and he did the same as me, plus there wasn't even a slow down sign on the floor.

Oh well better luck next time.

On the Sabbath Day.....

We got burgled, just because we have a ground floor apartment does not mean that little thieves can steal my stuff. The most annoying thing is that we were in the apartment at the time. Thankfully we were both ok, and all they stole were my handbag and my ipod, but that’s not the principle, people should not steal or enter properties uninvited. So I had a great Sunday afternoon stopping all my cards and a visit from the local plod, apart from taking a statement they had time to decide which takeaway they were going to be visiting for their dinner, I’m so glad they are dedicated to their jobs!!!!

Still a week later and locks changed etc, I’m slowly getting my cards back, I hate it when you go into a shop or even walk down the street and see things that you really want to buy, but you can't coz you have no money, well not directly true you have the money but don't have access to it coz the bank hasn't sent you your card back yet. They tease you by sending the pin number but you have to wait the whole week till you get the card.

God (father-in-law to be) created shelves

Since my last entry the hole in the wall has now become a shelf, thanks to the wonderful job of my fiance and my father-in-law to be, we were going for the whole 3 shelf thing, but quite frankly after the performance with the first shelf the other two have been banished to the cupboard never to grace my walls again. A word of advice Do Not buy shelves from Argos.

Well that time has come around again, yes Big Brother has started in the UK, and there are the usual bunch of weird people in the world, but i still find myself getting up on a Satuday morning, switching the TV onto E4 and watching the housemates sleep. Why oh Why do i do this, i know they will be sleeping and i know that as soon as they wake up the sound will go to birds and trains, but i'm still sat there watching. Really i need to get out more!! and will somebody get Shabaz out of the house, i wish he would walk please please let him walk!!!
