However today was very interesting cos the chief exec was down to talk to us about the proposed outsourcing of some services to the private sector, i was expecting him to get ( Read more... )

Well this weekend I decided to finally end things with Shirley, it'd been brerwing for ages but i just couldn't find the strength to do it. Shirl's been an emotional wreck for months and i just couldn't kick her while she was down. She's got a new job now and has just qualified as a beauty therapist, so i thought things might be looking up for her ( Read more... )

Well i finally agreed my new learning contract with my personal tutor today which means i'm officially still on the course. I have to redo some of my assessment throughout the month of August which means i'll only be a month behind my fellow students. Good news indeed!! I won't get a summer holiday though ( Read more... )

Got a really big essay on the go right now, all about nursing research, it's v.boring, but it's 4000 words (which seems a lot but actually isn't that many) and has to be done by two weeks on monday, so it needs my immediate attention.

This morning we covered Euthanasia which was quite interesting, and i have the view that it should be legalised in certain cases. However the whole lecture consisted of our ( Read more... )

Well it's been a busy month for me, i've resat my exams (and passed), written countless essays and most importantly passed my Anaesthetic assessments. The anaesthetic assessment was a biggy, it's the hardest element of my course and the most difficult to pass. I got through it comfortably enough, but not without some hardship along the way. I was ( Read more... )

Well it looks as if Shirley's about to lose another job (AGAIN!!!) Her boss (whose a bit of a tw@t anyway) called her into his office on monday and tore her to pieces, calling her a rubbish P.A. (which she isn't) and asking her what comes first, her little boy or her job? I mean, what a question?!!! of course she said Jordan, but he then told her ( Read more... )

Oh before i go and get my shut eye, i feel i must mention Shirley's item on abay. She's had a good talking to from me about her spending and has decidde to recoup some money by selling some of her stuff. This is a major breakthru as she's not the selling type if you knw what i mean ( Read more... )
