I won a dress, and a corset! In seperate competitions.

Young man, there's no need to feel Jinxle.

Which song was this lyric from?

I wasn't really looking, but I've just seen an amazing job vacancy. So I sent them my CV. It'd be awesome,except no more working from home, and it would be quite a schlep to travel there and back. And it's full time, so no more three-day weekends. I'm veering between mild excitement and complete horror at what to do if I actually got offered it ( Read more... )

My friend's friend, who is a final year vet student, was telling us this about a consultation she sat it on.

You know what is especially nice? Sitting at my desk with my nice cup of coffee, loking out the window and watching the teenagers from the college running up and down the playing field in the rain. Sometimes they do the thing with running through tyres, and pushups in the mud. It always makes me smile, evil old crone that I am.

My Open University course materials arrived yesterday, woo! I hope I actually remember HOW to be a student. Anyway it all looks very interesting, there are two books and some dvds, a course timetable with what's covered in which week and when assignments are due. I'll have a proper ferret through later today (actually, who am I kidding: I'll read ( Read more... )

Generally I hate the warnings that get sent around, but I must admit this one is important.

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey and asks you to show him your bum, do not show him your bum.
