That when you study psychology you have to sign a bit of paper that says you won't claim to be a clinical therapist. The reason is that when you unpick people's psyche you need to be able to put it back together again.

Why, if you employ people and have no psych training at all are you then just allowed to do that for shits and giggles? Or in the ( Read more... )

There was a programme on telly earlier in the week called '999: What's Your Emergency?'  It replayed calls from members of the public being instructed by emergency call operators how to perform CPR on their loved ones. It hit a nerve.

Going back to the later summer and autumn of 2010 and I was in love.

It's been bloody months since my last journal-type confession.

The highlights of the past few months have included rejoining weight watchers, after I was told that I don't ovulate. Because Nic and I would like a baby, I had to have a fertility test. Since I am overweight, or at least that's the doctor's present reasoning, I don't ovulate and ( Read more... )

Know what a minors rights are in regards to allegations made towards them at school? A 13 year old I know has been accused of stealing and, personally, I think the whole thing has been dealt with appallingly. However, before I phone the school and give them hell, I want to know what this boys rights are with regards being questioned and punished ( Read more... )

The fact that I haven't puts me at a massive disadvantage, but one which I just have to get through. Sort of frustrating and energising at the same time.

I shall be writing a strong ( Read more... )

I have just been on my first proper holiday in about 5 years or something. Nik and I were invited by her parents to go on a caravan holiday to Hastings. I have a few notes on this.

1. Calling gay people "freaks in front of daughter and her gf is a bit mad. Then using the word n****r is not helping matters.
2. Nic's sister has the most laid back ( Read more... )

I would love to say that our breakfast trip to Wetherspoons on Sunday morning was in any way as entertaining as Saturday. Sadly, it wasn't. Our Saturday evening was rounded out by a trip to a Harvester, where Nic and I, despite telling each other that we must not be allowed to have pudding, both scoffed ice-cream. Nic's sister's baby was as good ( Read more... )

...that in the inflammatory language of 'The Daily Mail', I am a serial home-wrecker. I have been, albeit very briefly, 'the other woman'. I have also seduced a member of the nearly clergy.

Goddammit, I appear to be brazen hussy.

I also blush my arse off when people say naughtiness and use the phrase 'lady garden'. This suggests i am also a ( Read more... )
