The one where I have AMAZING news!

So, we could say that I haven't had great luck lately, in well anything really, jobs, love life, parents (thats a whole other story).

But, I have finally made a break through! Now, I went for a second interview a week or so ago, whenever my last blog post was. I didn't get that one :o(

However, they put me forward for a different job, in the same place, and I got it!! Woohoo! :o) I start on monday, and I can't wait!

Just thought I'd share that hehe

Also, another reason I haven't posted recently, I've started this FanFic thing. Why is it, if you tell anyone that you've started writing they look at you like you're a bloody freak, yet most people have favourite authors, and without them writing we wouldn't have books.

Anyway gotta get going

Guess who got a 2nd interview?

Me that's who! Ha ha I is da bomb!

Yeah right, anyway, I had an interview at Hasbro's (ya know that toy company) in its consumer affairs department (no we don't have affairs with the customers! lol) last Thursday, and I thought it went well. I got a phone call this morning and she asked me to come back for a 2nd interview next Monday! whoop!

although, not so great was my phone losing signal half way through the convo! So I had to ring her back! Oops!

As I thought I would, I totally buggered up my exam yesterday! but to be honest the whole day was a total fail! I got up at 7 as planned, left for the train station at 8ish, got the train at 8.20 ish, got into Cardiff in plenty of time, only to find out that the bus I thought I could get didn't bloody exist any more.

Soooo I end up getting a different bus that'll take a bit longer, but I thought what the heck, I've got plenty of time. I ask the bus driver to tell me when I need to get off for Colchester Campus and he says yeah no problem!

I find a seat on the bus, and try to relax before the exam. Bout half an hour later he tells me that this is my stop. I get off, say thanks, and go off to try and find the place my exam is going to be. I notice a distinct lack of people and think this cant be right! I manage to find a reception and ask the women in there.

They're all "What exam, whats going on, why don't we know?" and I'm all "omg what am i going to do"

I find out I'm on the wrong bloody campus!! The fucking bus driver had me get off at the wrong fucking stop! I start to panic slightly as I have 10 mins to make a 20 minute journey and the bus isn't going to come round for like another half hour!

Then the nice lady behind reception says she'll give me a lift over! She is a fucking angel! she got me there just after 10, and I only just missed the beginning of the exam, and as fate would have it, I wasn't the only one who was late!

But after all that, I fail the exam. I know I have because i wrote for a grand total of 40mins, and the exam was three hours long. It consisted of 3 parts. Part 1 was writing a definition of five words (don't think i did too badly on that bit) part2 answer 2 questions out of 4, essay style (one paragraph answer for one question, and couldnt even attempt another) part 3 was answering 1 question out of 3, essay styley again (managed a side and a bit on this one, but again it really wasn't enough to get much of a mark)

So the long and the short of it, is basically that I shall be resitting this exam at some point, so I shall be making the most of my time and revising like hell!

On another note, I'm seeing one of my mates tomorrow for the first time in nearly 2 years! Really looking forward to it! Hopefully i'll get some photos, not sure what we are going to do tbh cos I can't afford anything but thats never stopped us having fun lol!

If Spot reads this, I hope things are going okay at home! and that hubby is on the mend!

As for everyone else, I hope all is well in your lives!

Much Love

New!

Yes yes My blogging Lovelies! I have a new look blog.

I opened blogger this morning and got tempted with the opportunity to change my blog.... So I just couldnt pass it up. I wasted half an hour of revision time doing it. But it was good fun and a much needed break.

Well, along with the 20 minutes I wasted on facebook and checking my emails. And now I'm doing this, but this isn't a waste of time. :o)

I haven't been around much recently, I have been checking peoples blogs but its taking the time to update mine that has fallen by the wayside. But as I mentioned I've been trying to revise, and do TMA's and various other things.

So at the moment I have things about behaviourism, and Sociocultural perspectives on learning, and spotlight attention theories, and bottleneck theories of attention and other such fun things going around my head. But as this year has kind of sucked ass in terms of getting work for this course done, I have a feeling that my attempts at revising are kinda futile and that i shall fail anyway and will have to resit. Which is fine by me, I am prepared for that. But whether or not I fail, I plan to catch up on the reading and work that I didn't manage to do. Which given that I only did enough work to get through my TMA's is quite a lot! lol

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know, again, that I haven't like died or something.

I have a birthday party to go to this weekend (even more reason as to why i wont be passing my exam on monday) so there may be drunken stories to tell next week!

Love you all, have a good weekend!

Exercising, getting fit, and losing weight

Right my loverlies, I've decided (again) that I really need to get off my ass and lose some weight and get fit. Only this time I'm telling you lot about it in the hope that some of you may remind me and make me feel guilty for not doing it. 'cause this is my plan...

Blog once a week about how this is all going, updating on my challenge (which I'll tell you about in a second) and tell you how much I've lost.

So, I found this challenge-y thing online, its a 6 week plan to being about to do a certain amount of exercises (100 push - ups, 200 sit ups, 200 squats). You take the initial test and then it puts you in a category and you follow on with that.

My initial test for the push up (30) and squats (16). Which means I start on week three for the push ups and week 1 for the squats (which are evil exercises!)

Also I will be doing walking type things as well throughout the week. So if all goes to plan I should be able to lose some weight! which is all good!

If any of you are interested in this challenge - or want a better explanation of what the fudge I am going on about then go here!

mmmmm fudge.

Ooooh twice in one day!!

You love it really! :opBut I just remembered, after I published the last post, that I found something else on facebook that made me giggle...

You know those stupid 10 reasons why men suck, or 8 reasons to eat chocolate (well those two don;t exist I dont think but I would so read them if they did) anyway, there was one "8 pictures that are impossible not to laugh at" Or something like that, anyway most of the pictures were really bad. but there was one, that was actually funny ....
*Quick Side note: I must give a mention to the photographer of this photo...he has a blog here on Blogger...

Which then led me to finding these....


Kids are evil. There is nothing else for it, they are evil lol Which is part of the reason I don't like kiddie actors, they are terrifying! Sweet and Innoccent? Yeah right! LOL

One more picture...different to the last of them but still funny!

FAIL!!

Right, well that was an Epic Fail on my part! Hopefully nobody notice before I got round to actually putting content on my blog post, before I uploaded it! Yeah I post a blank blog post.... idiot! Anywho.... Moving on!

I was on facebook, ya know, wasting time facebook stalking, I mean catching up on people's lives etc, when I saw this....


Which, is well, quite something dont ya think... Now I'm not getting at him for being, or not being, gay, that yeah whatever. I don't mind its just well, wow. Have you read the text? He's really trying to sell the toy trains, (sorry model trains) and crab meat!! Toys and crabs, what more could a guy want?!

Guess it takes all sorts to make the world go round. I just thought I'd share! lol


Anyway, on to better news! I had a job interview *does a little dance* I won't find out til next week whether I got it or not, but I got me an Interview! The first in MONTHS!! I think it went ok, but I've never been a great judge at these things! lol So keep those fingers crossed for this 'ere blogger, she'll need all the luck and prays you guys and gals can send her way! Thank ye muchly in advance!

I'd best be signing off, meant to be doing a TMA, and I sooo havent even opened Word yet! Or got my books or even got a pen! Opps.


Love ya muchly

Just a Quick One

Well that doesnt sound to dodgy... (or is that just my mind haha)

Anywhatsits. Just a quick note to all my bloggy friends out there, I haven't you know, like died or anything, its just been a busy few months, and what with one thing or another I have just totally failed on the blogging front.

So I am very sorry. I hope you are all okay, and I will try to catch up on youre blogs, but there are quite a few of you, and its been a rather long time since I last posted.

Anyway, on a side note.... who has seen Iron Man2? I did this weekend just gone... OMG fricking AMAZING! Sorry just had to add that!

Catch ya all soon!

How the saying "I Told You So" Was invented for me...

As I've already established, I started talking to my ex the other week. And as you all warned, people don't change. Not people like him.

He's told me, nearly everyday since we started talking that he loves me, and that I'm the only person he wants, and that he doesn't want to be with anyone else, and that he wont ever be with any one else blah blah blah. Guess what? He's with someone. Now I don't care that he's seeing anyone, its that he lied to me.

He updated his facebook status before he told me he was with someone. I saw the status straight away. So I text him, jokingly asking id I'd missed something.

His reply: My status is fucked

So I said: what so youre not in a relationship. I told you the other day if you ever wanted to see someone it was fine with me. I just thought you'd tell me first.

His reply: I just got with jade.

Me: What so you lied to me to begin with?

Him: No.

Me: Right, fine. dont talk to me. (Yeah ok, really mature i know)

Him: I said I wasn't. And we're sorting us out as mates.

Me: (read message. Close message. Log onto Blogger)

Him: Caz dont do this

Me: What?

Him: You know what.

Me: No I dont thats why I asked.

Him: Dont get pissy just because Im with Jade

Me: I'm not pissy cos you're with someone, I'm annoyed at you lying to me. And dont say you werent otherwise what was all that bollocks about the status thing

Him: It was but Ive sorted it now.

Then he goes on to explain what he meant. May i point out that he dodged the question several times? (I havent put all the texts as I cant find all of them) He said that he put himself as in a relationship, but then facebook said he wasn't so he fixed it. I was like, oh right. his response was 'k' so I got totally fed up by this point and said "whatever" and he replied fuck sake. So I said "right, if youre going to be like that then you can just delete my number and we wont fucking bother"


See now to me, his inital reply was to say his status was fucked. Meaning facebook had messed up in saying he was in a relationship. Meaning he didn't want me to know (and i know this is what he was trying to get away with, I know how he works) None of his texts had 'xxx' on the end, which means he's off with me, cos he always puts 'xxx' on the end. But it's not just this that shows me he hasn't changed. its all of it. Two days ago he was all "I'm so depressed I want to be with you, I love you" blah blah blah.And after asking repeatedly if there was anyone in his life he wanted to date he said no. Theres noone, noone but you.

Just ARGH!!!! All the lies and the crap and everything!!


So, note to self. Ex boyfriends, if it ended badly, or they treated you badly, then theres a ruddy good reason why you stopped talking to him.


Im sorry thats all confusing and all over the place. I just needed to get it out.
