I am a bad girl. i haven’t updated in ages. didn’t realise it had been so long!

even my rats update their blog more than me. (they are quite upset they don’t seem to have any readers)

the big news down my end is that we’re moving again. the downstairs neighbours are a nightmare, things are wrong with the flat and the landlord is useless (but lovely).
the new flat is much nicer and only £50 more a month. (sara - tis on the tettenhall road). is right next to a bus stop and opposite a garage with cash machine, pharmacy, corner shop and about three off-licences!
and actually has a proper kitchen. can’t wait for a decent cooker again! and a proper sized freezer! and a washing machine! and a shower!!! just little things, but things that make life soooo much better.
we are signing the contracts after i’ve finished work today, get the keys on sat, then move in the weekend after.

i hate hate hate my job. it’s horrible. there’s never enough work to do, and i feel guilty for faffing on the internet allday. i know some people would be grateful for that, but i don’t work like that. i like to keep busy and feel like i’ve actually earned my money.

hopefully there is a change of prospects soon. i still plan to work for the national trust, and april is the month they annouce where the careerships are this year. i am praying they announce it soon and i’m praying that there’s at least one local(ish) one. i want it so bad!
if not i will cry and will have to find a different gardening job to support another two years at college. either way, i want out of here as soon as possible.
(this is how bored i am - i have just spent 5 mins cleaning my mouse, and wondering what i can clean now. and i do actually have work to do, but a) it’s as boring as hell and b) if i do it now i won’t have anything to do tomorrow.)

kate bloberty blob - i have the fabled photo of the magic chalkboard. will find it tonight and scan it in.
i remember the first thing written on there (when we were actually going to use it as a shopping list) was ‘phallic shaped fruit + veg’.
i know kev’s mate asked for a belt without realising kev had already got him one for christmas
i asked for wolves to be promoted
sara (i think) asked for simon to exceed martin on the sleaze factor, and she also wanted douglas coupland’s love child (do we have definite proof that quiche is not his?!)
we all wanted money and some of us wanted fags (can’t possibly think who!)

time for another fag break methinks...then it’s only one hour left (for today)


had fag.
spilt coffee.
productive afternoon huh?

bah

Rachel no matter how bored you get - cleaning mice is never the answer. It just gets you into deeper trouble.

"kev’s mate asked for a belt without realising kev had already got him one for christmas"
-hmmm, was this to do with a comment on the chalkboard? I can't remember that. Do you mean flying or gay?

Also, T has pointed out that vodka was also on the board at one time. And vodka definitely came into my life.

I didn't write that... the first one!! I did request Douglas Coupland's love child though.. and then realised he was in fact a minger of ming city and changed my mind...

I think it was actually SImon himself who wrote that on the board.

We also had something about getting first-class marks for our writing.

And bananas were on there too.

Vodka came into all of our lives that year, and left mind via my mouth (thrown up n the street outside Magnet!)
