Today was the induction for The Prince's Trust. First day ever, and with it came some pretty gutting news.

I won't be able to work at the ExtraCare shop like I used to. Normally I'd work there every day, Monday to Friday, even though I was only down for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I love it there that much. Dad's going in tomorrow to let them ( Read more... )

Since it's been a good few days, in which my posts have consisted of automated Twitter dumps that are screaming for lj-cuts, I thought I'd humour you all and make an attempt at proving my existence.

My feet and hands were numb and I wanted nothing more than to get home and straight into the bath without a hitch - no ( Read more... )

Today was my third day of work with the ExtraCare Charitable Trust shop in Earlestown.
