I'm such a twat. I dropped the laptop the other day, the screen shattered and we took it to get repaired - ended up paying £100 for a second-hand screen that has a line running down it. We settled for that because it works perfectly apart from that slightly distracting line. It would have been £180 for a brand new one and we just didn't have that ( Read more... )

My first day of work was fine. The day went pretty quickly. I started out really nervously though... I was put on the phones straight away and that's one of my big fears! But I did get used to doing it. The only problem I have is taking messages. I have a bad memory, I forget what they say within seconds. Still, I was told that I've got a nice ( Read more... )

Yay snow. It actually stayed on the ground this time. Pretty ( Read more... )

Trip to Paris is booked, yay. And now it’s already looking like we’re down to having not much money because of the fact that Ste has to pay out money every month - he owes a fair bit to his best friend and his parents, then there’s bills and child maintenance. Oh, little bit of news... his ex is pregnant again. It’s crazy because she openly refused ( Read more... )

Nothing works in this house... the boiler has never worked in the whole twelve weeks I’ve been living here, so we don’t have any heating or hot water from the taps. Hopefully they’ll fix that soon, because it’s already getting a bit chilly and it’ll be bad when the place is freezing. The cooker broke yesterday at lunchtime, too, for no apparent ( Read more... )

Ste and I just nearly had to move to Ireland for a while. See, we were all supposed to leave this house at the end of June, but we haven’t exactly sorted a new place to live yet. This was because Darren didn’t have the money to move so we were waiting around for him. Last Tuesday, the landlord came round and said he had until the weekend to pay up ( Read more... )

I don’t have much to say. I’ve been sick for over a week and it’s all due to girl stuff - bad period, headaches, nausea, and a bout of cystitis. I’m taking antibiotics and I’m starting to feel better now. On Tuesday I’m going back to Ireland for one day, to attend a hospital appointment - I’m finally having a follow up on that abnormal smear test. ( Read more... )

Hey. I haven’t had much of a chance to update until now. Darren hogs my laptop and spends most of the day watching Dragonball Z online. Tonight I decided I just had to get it back and try to catch up on my internet stuff. The LJ friends page can be daunting but I’ll get on it ( Read more... )

My body is so high-maintenance. I hate it. I have headaches pretty much every day (I'm told they might be migraines but I don't know), I feel weak, drowsy and sick every time I’m hungry and eating often increases my appetite rather than appeasing it. Also, I’m getting my usual eight hours of sleep each night but feeling sleep-deprived all day. I ( Read more... )
