Well, the weekend was great - it was nice to go to a restaurant after weeks of living cheap. Saturday was Italian and on Sunday we went for a Chinese buffet with Ste’s friends Ian and Gareth. They paid most of the night since it was his birthday. So yeah, we had a lovely time ( Read more... )

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

I forgot to mention it, but I just started a new course yesterday. Either an NVQ in Business Administration, or an ECDL (computers). It’s another Job Centre requirement since I still haven’t found a job. I might be getting a work placement on this though, which will give me some relevant experience and that should help me get a proper job in the ( Read more... )

Haven’t got much to say... I’ve just been feeling annoyed and awkward for this past week because the new arrivals have basically taken over the house. It’s only two new people but somehow, they’re everywhere I want to go. The place was a complete mess for a while, then they cleaned everything except the kitchen. But I don’t clean up after other ( Read more... )

It’s been really cold, I’m surprised we haven’t had snow yet. Plenty of ice though - we went for a drink with Ste’s friend Danny on Sunday night, and when we left the bar Ste held both me and Danny up because we were slipping around.

The reason for this is that my mother got a new digital camera and we took family photos on that instead, so I kind of ( Read more... )

Happy New Year! I sincerely hope 2009 is a better year for all of you ( Read more... )

Ste got his infected tooth out on Thursday. His jaw is still hard and swollen from the abscess so that’s still hurting him a bit, but I’m sure it’ll heal up soon ( Read more... )

So tired. I think it’s because I’ve been looking at the computer screen for most of the day, and because my room is too hot ( Read more... )

It's my LiveJournal's 5th birthday today! I just noticed this the other day, it doesn't feel like I've had it that long. It's been with me since I was an angsty, confused 17-year-old, right through to the much more balanced 20-something I am today. Thank you to the people who've been reading my boring rambles and humouring me all this time :P ( Read more... )
