Andrew is a wonderful boy! I heard about The Sultan's Elephant a few days ago, & was rather intrigued. It all seemed a bit hush-hush (as much as a 40 ft heigh mechanical elephant can be I suppose) & I wasn't really sure what it was (if it was supremely cool, or really shite), so I texted Andrew asking if he was going to see it at the weekend & ( Read more... )

Stop! Hamster time! Nikki & I spent most of Friday night not abusing Hammond & making him supreme assault courses! Yesterday we pimped a snack, making a giant Boost bar. It's not completely finished yet & we need to send our photos & witty commentary to the website. Photos & hilarity to come soon though ( Read more... )

When I get home I'll be a delightfully employed young lady! My Dad is a complete star & has managed to wangle me a job with one of his clients (Dad is self-employed & works for several car dealerships across East Anglia & beyond...) doing some form of accounting work. One of the women he works with asked after me, wondering whether when I got home ( Read more... )

I popped round to the corner shop just now to get myself a pint or two of milk seeing as the one I bought a few days ago has turned into cheese & a fab ice-lolly. I decided to walk to the one closest to us, rather than the one I usually go to because it's quicker & the sun would have been shining in my eyes all the way there. So, walking along my ( Read more... )

Feeling a bit better about things now. Have spent the past few days doing very little, despite planning to start work on my disseration & other such things. Had lasagne last night with Nikki & we spent most of the day wandering around the shops, looking for toys for Hammond, dresses for me & other bits & pieces. Was a nice relaxing day though, ( Read more... )

It would seem I have missed out on taking part in my first choice elective next year (Theory & Practice in Mental Health), instead being lumped with my third choice (which I only picked because there was nothing else). I've emailed the electives co-ordinator & unit co-ordinator to see whether there's any chance of me being able to change, but alas ( Read more... )

The easter hols have been pretty up & down. Lots of a strange-ness & stress, mainly due to the impending doom of returning to uni faced with hand ins & exams a-plenty. I spent practically every day revising until dinner time & then usually went out & met up with people during the evening. Went out for drinks with Emily one night & we got incredibly ( Read more... )

Back in the land of Linc. First two exams down, another one tomorrow afternoon & the final one in a fortnight. At least Attention & Memory is over! Very tired, but essay has been printed & checked, references done. Up early tomorrow for a final cramming session for research skills. Joy.

Andrew & I have bought Jack an old-skool Mr Frosty for his birthday, from ebay. It wasn't very expensive & only ended up arriving today (three days after his birthday, nevermind!) but when I opened the package something seemed to be amiss. Called Andrew, moaning down the phone at him "Mr Frosty's arrived & he smells like wee!". Seriously, I took ( Read more... )

It's so nice to be home! Currently sitting around waiting for the rat killer (who I believe is a lady!) to come & sort out our infestation. When I say infestation I actually mean two reasonably nice looking rats (Russell & Russella) who have been sighted a few times wandering around our garden & living in the garage, eating the hose & such like.
