Computer said NO!!!

well the computer has decided not to play anymore. it's just making a clicking sound and saying it has no hard drive - i don't think it's feeling very well.

spent last weekend emptying the loft into a skip! looking forward to doing sod all this weekend but no doubt someone will find a job or two for me.

off to Somerset next weekend to see father in-law, who is not to well.

First Aid at Work

Had an excellent week at work, been doing first aid training for four days. now fully qualified fist aider waiting for someone to have an accident so I can put into practice!! the course was lots of fun but i now have a screaming bad back - think its from doing CPR and recovery position (or being put into the recovery position over and over!!!) putting on bandages and slings - it was like being back in the brownies.

It IS the Weekend!!!

I don't know how I did it but the last post was today (ie; Saturday) not Wednesday!!!

its the WEEKEND!!!!

yippee, the weekend at last! work (job number 2) begged me to work this weekend but I was strong, for a change, and said a firm NO.

no plans to do anything, might make some jam if I can find some jars. looking forward to doing nothing for a change. I thought that i would make the most of it before college stats again in September when i will have no time to write assignments etc.

had another argument with the neighbours again, shouted allot at one of them (ops) but it seems to have done the trick and they don't seem to be propping the security door open at the moment.

just been interrupted by work on the phone - pleading me to work - still said no as i always pick up the extra work and no one else ever bothers, feel a bit mean bit I need a break , job no.1 has been busy all week.

well think I'll go and make some Jam now.

Stepping into the brave new world of the Blog

well thought i might give this a go. i try to keep a journal but find when i pick it up to record an entry i discover that i haven't made one for years, i then try and catch up on the things i have missed and then give up again!! - very poor show.


suppose i ought to introduce the cats. first is "Fat Cass" she is eleven years old and very grumpy, then there is "Hairy Fairy" she's a bit mad and runs around bumping into doorways etc!, and the latest addition is "Johnny Rotten" he is a bit younger and like a hyperactive kid who is into everything and don't leave you alone. if i work out how to use this thing i will try and post some pictures.

work today not bad, i was training new staff on the induction course but i only had one student- so the day went quite quickly as there wasn't any of the usual arguments or should i say 'discussions'. we finished the day with a team meeting that followed the normal Patten ( talking in circles until we all lost the plot and gave up). i hate NVQ seems to be the company mantra now along with ' can we go home yet' and ' is it Friday'.


went to fat club tonight and lost 4lb (total now of 2st and 10lb) then had take-a-way, was very nice.
