09:07 pm I've not read through this thing in what feels like years. It was actually since before christmas. I'm always at Karls parents house nowadays and so don't ever really use the internet anymore, it's very odd. So i'm sorry that i don't know how any of you are doing- i just tried skimming through now and was shocked to see Chris and Carina have just had a baby- i didn't even know!! Congratulations! There isn't much to do at home and i've hardly been out at all since i've been back but the result is that i've paid off my loan, got out of my £2000 overdraft (which i've been stuck in since about 6 years ago) and i am now £900 in credit- which feels most pleasant. I think now i can maybe justify getting some sort of social life back. It's nights like tonight when the weathers nice and i could do with a beer and a good chat, that i really miss Nottingham. I hope everyone's ok. I must come and see you all soon xxx Current Mood: bored

03:26 pm Does anyone happen to know how horribly hard it is to get to the Bimingham Academy by car? Just found out we have four tickets to NIN and the only way we can get there is if i drive and i can't say i'm looking forward to it, having never driven in Birmingham before... Hmmm. Current Mood: cranky

06:12 pm - Back online... Eventually! I have only just managed to get back online properly since well before christmas. I'm sorry to everyone for not saying goodbye properly or having any kind of leaving drinks. I ended up having my whole last week off work as my wisdom tooth op wasn't too pleasant and i was left feeling like death for a week. I ended up leaving notts early and going home to my mum. I hope everyone had a lovely christmas and New year! Mine has been pretty manic with moving home and jumping straight into a new job- but the job seems great...for now! I miss Nottingham but have been too busy with other things to properly miss it and last night i became an Auntie! So it's all been a bit busy. I haven't read any entries since way before christmas so i'll endeavour to do that as i have just sorted broadband. Yay! I feel human again. Will do this properly when i have more time as i'm off to see baby Jedd now. Should hopefully be coming to Nottingham for the weekend of Jemmas birthday, which is 17th, i think. Hope everybody is well! Current Mood: excited

03:14 pm Hmmmm, does anybody know anything about 'big, decent headphones'. Apparently my brother wants some for christmas but i'm thinking they could be expensive. I had been looking at ones with cords but now my brother's girlfriend has suggested wireless ones might be good because of baby walking etc. He only wants them for indoor use for his stereo. Are wireless headphones any good and which makes should i be looking at? So far i've checked out technics, Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Sony, Philips and some unknown ones :S Does anyone know how much i might have to be spend for them to be decent or can anyone recommend any? Thank you! Current Mood: confused

10:20 am Hmmm, looking at the price of broadband for my parents house. It doesn't have to be mega fast or anything and no huge limits. I take it you have to continue to pay line rental to BT if you get their broadband? I've been looking at them as i think Broadbands quite limited where my parents live. I know they can't get NTL and i'm not sure they can get Talk Talk. I know people mentioned pipex last time...but what do people think is generally value for money? Ta :) Current Mood: confused

02:49 pm After having paid 450 pounds for car insurance at the weekend on my current account, i've been left a little screwed with regards to money, as i thought my overdraft was much bigger than it apparently is. I've just been into HSBC though and apparently my overdraft hadn't been reduced but the car tax payment was pending so that i couldn't see it- but the money had actually been taken out. So when i went to check my balance, the payment hadn't come out (visibly) but the total had been taken off my amount of available credit. Highly confusing but apparently normal, so now i can not stress about having to buy all christmas presents on my credit card. My dad wants a Norman Wisdom DVD for christmas but i have no idea what sort :S There's a live one on play for 9.99 or some huge box set for alot more. I'm already getting him some other stuff so i don't want to spend loads. I don't have a frickin' clue about Norman Wisdom... Current Mood: confused

01:21 pm Just a quicky and nothing particularly important but just ramblings. I lost ten pounds yesterday (and not of the weight variety!) and i can't believe how annoyed i got about it. I felt so angry at myself as it was in my pocket (the one where i keep my staff ID card/buspass) and i'm assuming upon swiping to get into work, or getting on the bus that i pulled the fucking thing out of my pocket. This wouldn't normally annoy me this much but my dad gave it to me as he had won his section at his fishing match, awww :( I feel really bad as he wanted me to use it as petrol money for my mums car, which is now oddly mine. So i'm just going to pretend that i used the tenner for something marvellous and lost a tenner of my own money and it makes me feel less shit and dopey. Some fuckers walking around all smug with my tenner. I went to the hospital for a jaw appointment on monday and have been told i will have to have my wisdom tooth surgically removed. So i'm on a waiting list for that. It's the same tooth that gave me lots of shit a couple of christmas' ago, when i was puking constantly and Spike had to stay up with me all night. My jaw now opens 4mm wider than it did three months ago and the next usual step would be surgery of some kind. Either a camera into my joint in my jaw and flushing it out or some kind of injection into the joint. I whinced noticeably when she mentiond them both to me and she said she was happy to see how my jaw progressed with the mouth brace for a bit longer and lots of ibuprofen and she was optimistic that having my troublesome tooth removed might bring some kind of relief, so fingers crossed but ewwwwwwww, i don't want it cut out :( I have friday and monday off work, woo. Long weekend. Then after that i have only 9 days left at work and then i move back home. Must choose an evening to go out for a few drinks! Now to go and try and find some kind of present for my mum... Current Mood: calm

12:47 pm As of tomorrow, i have 20 days left at work- and five of those are out of term and should be a doddle- including watching films in the empty lecture theatres at work (Mainly ones with Arnold Schwarzenegger in- i think we're starting with Terminator). I'm wishing these days away but i know in the last week i will be sad to go! I'm struggling to think of things to buy my parents for christmas this year and it's doing my nut in. Why are they so difficult to buy for?! I've noticed just lately that it must have become obligatory for all female students at this uni to wear those fucking shit boots that EVERYONE has at the moment. The ones that my mum had when i was about 5- the ones that are terribly 80's and GROSS. The vintage 80's pixie, slouch boots with a tiny heel- in a whole range of shit colours from grey to brown. YUMMY. I hate them. (No offence to anyone who has a pair on here ;) ) This weekend i'm going home. For a change. I want to see Pan's Labyrinth and i'm going to take some of my shit back with me, as i may as well make a start on moving back. Amy's post has just reminded me how sex starved i am. I think i've sealed shut. I really fancy some chocolate....mmmm. Current Mood: frustrated

12:20 pm Thanks to those who wished me luck and stuff on my previous entry :) I went to Karls this weekend and have stupidly left my debit card there. I can't remember my credit card pin numbers either, which may be a good thing. I'm trying to think how i can get myself lunch though. Does the tesco's self serve bit still not require a pin number? I think last time i checked it didn't. I want to see lots of things at the cinema including 'Pan's labyrinth', Bond and the prestige. Work is dull and i'm beginning to loathe it even more- probably because i know i'm leaving. Current Mood: annoyed

09:45 am I've not had a chance to read through old posts but i shall do so in a second. I just had to send this to my boss: "Dear Craig, I am tendering my resignation as I have been offered alternative employment, which will be starting the 2nd January 2007. To this effect, my last day with the University will be the 31st December. Many Thanks Caroline" He said if i put the 31st on, that i will be paid for my christmas holidays still, so this is all good. So i had the interview yesterday and i didn't think it went that well.I stressed so much before hand and Karl did an excellent job of calming me down, awww.  I answered some questions well, others not so well and i really didn't think i had got it. I got told when i left that i would be told either way as she would ring to give feedback in 2-3 days time. On the drive home with Karl, a withheld number called and it was the woman who interviewed me. She left a message asking to call her back. She said 'Hi Caroline, i'm just ringing to give you feedback on you're interview" - at which point i thought i'd fluffed it up but then she went on to say 'I am pleased to tell you that you were successful and the position is yours". So yay. I won't be starting until the new year so i get to enjoy the run up to christmas here. No matter how much i moan- i will miss the people here. So i'll be moving back home before christmas and i'm sort of sad and sort of happy about this, as i know there are things and people that i will miss. But woo for having a new job with better pay :D Current Mood: contemplative

10:21 am Erp. I have a job interview back home. I need some help. Again. It's next wednesday and i have ten minutes to do a presentation on a 'subject of your choice'. I'm a bit stuck. The job is as a 'Children and Families information and outreach worker' and you have to provide an impartial advice and information service about the 'surestart' scheme. My guess is that they don't care what the content is but that they want to see how well i can deliver information? I was thinking i might talk about travelling and why i did it and stuff. Although i have a feeling that could be pretty wank. If anyone has anyone magical ideas or any ideas for subjects or stuff then i would be really appreciative as i'm a bit stumped. I just want to know what sorts of things people think might be interesting. Thank you! Current Mood: anxious

03:19 pm I've not posted to this thing in ages. That usually means you've been happy but it's kind of not the case for me. ( Boring crap ) Anyway, enough of the happiness. I can't wait to hand my notice in here! I wish we had the internet at home so i could sell my life on ebay again! Current Mood: gloomy

12:05 pm Oh dear Had a nice weekend. Went to Karls and just had a relaxing one, drinking way too much wine and playing shitloads of burnout 3. Attempted to watch Brick but i'm obviously not intelligent enough as i really didn't like it that much. I didn't realise it was film noir before we started watching and i just sat through the whole thing, totally puzzled by the language. Went into Pulse on saturday with Karl and we watched amy do some tattooing, which was quite interesting. On sunday, i got to see my brother and his girlfriend and had a roast dinner with them and my parents, who look mega brown from their holiday in Portugal. Jealous. They brought me a huge bottle of Ultraviolet perfume, so yay :) It's getting colder in the mornings and next week i have to start at 7:30am- GASH! :( Current Mood: amused

10:50 am My hair is so fucked from all the bleaching and straightening. It looks so unhealthy and i have so many snapped strands of hair. I have strips of hair that are about four inches shorter than the rest of it because the ends have snapped off.  I'm thinking of dying it all one colour to give the hair a chance to recouperate! I'm probably too old to have bright pink hair anyway, haha. If i dyed it with one of those Schwarzkopff LIVE colours, like a reddy brown colour, then would the bleached bits of hair go a brighter colour than the dark bits? i think they would. Arh, i dunno what to do. I just think that if i keep on bleaching my hair, i'm going to end up bald! I'm chunky again and my boobs have grown back. They went horribly small when i lost most of my weight and my bra's would gape and stuff but it would appear i've put lots back on again. I want to be as slim as i was but i want to keep my boooooooooooobs- arh :( Edit:- Oh and i wore my mouth splint thingy for the first time last night and it's uncomfortable and makes my mouth dry out. It makes my jaw ache in the morning when i take it out but apparently that's normal. I shall see if it actually does any good! Current Mood: okay

02:51 pm It's so gorgeous outside. I wish i wasn't at work but then i get to leave in an hour and ten minutes! ( Pointless, boring ranting ) Karl came up last night and we watched 'Pet sematary'. It made me laugh from the beginning when i saw Herman Munster and heard how stupid he sounded when he talked. For those of you who don't like the achilles tendon bit in hostel, this also has a pretty grim, achilles tendon slashing but it's sort of comedy because the baby looks like chucky. That was a totally pointless entry anyway. I need my mouth splint which the post office have had for nearly two weeks now because our post man is a chav CUNT and doesn't knock on the fucking door and just pushes the cards through. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Current Mood: contemplative

11:18 am Boring question, if anyone can help. I'm trying to get contents insurance online and am discovering that most companies ask if the people living with you are immediate family? I'm trying to get a policy that will cover me, Aislinn and Jemma. Does anyone know if we will need to get individual policies? Or can we get one to cover us all? Any help will be appreciated!

10:19 am Sooooooooooooo i have the car for two weeks. Yay. I went to collect it on friday before quickly waving goodbye to my folks and driving off to Karls house. Spent a really nice weekend there, not doing a hell of alot but still having lots of fun and drinking lots (especially wine....which led to me puking- nice!). I even got a roast dinner and everything. Mmmm. Friday night we spent the whole night playing 'stubbs the zombie' on xbox, 2 player. It's such a pointless game but it's so funny and ace! We managed to complete it by sunday day time. I particularly like the bit where you had to wee in the water tank to contaminate the water supply. I've text my mum to ask if she can get me some jagermeister, perfume and tobacco from Portugal- woo! I have my new Virgin card now, which is ace and PINK! I've managed to persuade my mum to get one, Katie to get one and apparently now Glenn has one, too. 0% interest on balance transfers until next september! Think i'm heading to Karls again this coming weekend. I need to spend as much time with him as possible before he starts working all the hours at the tattooists- merh. I have no idea how i'll cope only seeing him one day a week- maybe not even that much as he will be working most weekends. I'm a bit disturbed by that guys and dolls programme. How odd was that?! The guy who was on about how he had 'tried dating organic women- but it's not the same'. Of course it's not! You're piece of plastic never says no, does she?! He was majorly camp anyway- something strange there! What an interesting entry. Current Mood: bored
