i have a job for 2 weeks!
as a clearing assistant :s
and... ive got chocolate fridge cake!
I was thinking yesterday about how I was 27 and still living at home and i look around at my peers and im the worst off (by far..light years in fact..) but then I thought hang on a minute, i havent always been this way, ive had my own flat for a year where i was living completely independently, funded totally by myself, everything in it, i bought, all the bills i paid for. I got myself around i cooked all my own meals, washed and dried all my own clothes, made my own entertainment and my own friends. I had to arrange my removal and hire and pay the removers as well as embark on a new course. All the research and paperwork i did myself as I had no one else to ask... actually not everyone is capable of this, and even those that think they can, haven't actually done it. It's actually no mean feat.
I had no one to help me, apart from my boyfriend at the time who helped me to move in. in fact apart from that it was an entirely solitary task. Now, I don't need anyone to help me with anything (and actually I've proved it) so I'm not all poor me... The point I'm making is more should be made of this... kudos to me! I made it all, I did it all and I didn't need anyones help.
and certainly, if I've done it before, I can do it again.
so well done me! if I don't say it, no one else will.
and i will get out of this place...
