Ewch...

My throat is really very sore! I can't swallow properly, which is not so much fun.
Ok couple of days, a few dramas at work, but nothing huge...when you're not really doing anything, anything seems exciting!

I have to go to court tomorrow morning (a long historical complicated thing that's been going on over 18 months now), and then into work, so tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.

I got a phone call about a job today, and they;ve offered me an interview which is good *fingers crossed*

I must eat before I go pick up my washing.

More on the night out later

Adorable

In Other News This Is Adorable!

Catch Up

A lots happened in the past two weeks...heres a summary...

2 weeks ago I went to York for a Quaker Youth Work Conference which was interesting, and I'm glad I made the effort to go. That weekend I discovered a few things:
The parkng in York is extortionate if you pay a machine, and you're limited to parking for 5 hours. If you pay over the phone however, it costs £3.50 for 24 hours - yes, I found that out after paying for 4 hours parking!*doh*
I stayed over at my parents on the friday night to break up the journey, and ended up seeking refuge on the way back saturday too...the weather was atrocious and I was tired - the combination of which was not so good!

Last weekend I went up to Formby for the christening of my oldest friends son. I ended up getting off the motorway at Aintree, having a wander around the Asda and asking at the till how on earth I get there...I have no idea how I get there on their directions! But it was lovely to be surrounded by the accent again!lol!Finally got there 5 hours later than planned!
The christening was lovely, although i had to hold myself backa little from the religious bits - I felt it was very preachy, and it made me uncomfortable. I know, each to their own, and I think it's great that they believe in something, Just, made me think, and it made me think about my own faith, which is a good thing! My friend looked absolutely stunning - as usual - and her son, who's 2 and a half years old, looked adorable in white trousers/shirt, and a gorgeous little embroidered waistcoat - with his blonde curly locks he looks very cherubic! There was drama, as always at this sort of thing, when my friend discovered her dad pressed the wrong button on the camcorder and hadn't recorded anything! Went for (non-alcoholic of course) drinks later on and then started the drive home - which instead of taking 3 hours, took 5! The weather went really horrid, and I was so tired! I ended up stopping at services, having a half-doze and some food, and finally making it home for midnight!

I think i may have an insensitivity to caffeine, as both drives I tried some caffeine tablet things to try and get myself more awake, but I'm pretty sure they had no effect!:~S

Mt friend cam and fed Kitty while I was away, and set up my fish tank for me again! It was getting icky, and hadn't had any fish in it for a long while, but it's now up and running, and she has some fish for me to put in tomorrow! Photos next time! :~)

I've been at my temp job for three weeks now, and have been covering reception for the past two - the woman I was covering came back and the pregnant receptionist is off untill after her maternity leave now...the people I was working with/for wanted to keep me at the hospital becasue they were really impressed with me, so I've lumped with reception - I spend my days on Ravelry and eBay! I'm there untill the end of the month, when they;ve found someone to do the job covering maternity leave, so even though it's kinda boring, I have an income for a few weeks at least which is good! I'm obviously still applying for permanent jobs, but it's good to have something to do (along with an income) while I look.

Tonight, I'm going out with some friends - which could be interesting as I've never really dine the whole 'going out' thing...should be fun...I should tidy as they're coming over to get ready, and the place is a tip!(Although, I was planning on tidying all day, and have spent the last 4 1/2 hours on the sofa in front of the TV watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition!)


ps: sorry for the long non-picture-containing post...I'll post more regularly now hopefully.
