I have moved and I am here and have been for several weeks. Unfortunately England doesn't have the internet. Or, at least, my flat doesn't, hence my absence which I am sure you have all noticed and lamented ( Read more... )

I have an awful lot to do. But the good news is I have a flat to move into in Bristol and it's very pretty and big and has its own garden. Hurrah! So moving in on the 29th and have an awful lot to do between now and then. I've never moved house before, eek ( Read more... )

Job people decided they couldn't live without me after all and have offered me a job! I was 7th on the list so they made it 7 positions instead of 6. They love me! So I'm moving to Bristol in a month, eek! Have just had a bottle of Bollinger so feeling rather jolly and pleased with myself. Hurrah!

You may remember I had to attend an "assessment centre" in Swindon for a job. Well I did, and got through to the final round of interviews in London the week after which was good. I went to the interview and thought I'd fluffed it so wasn't expecting to get the job. I eventually heard today that I didn't. So I phoned the lady up to ask for feedback ( Read more... )

First, and by far the most important, is that BATMAN IS AMAZING. Possibly the greatest film I have ever seen. I just sat in awe of the awesomeness the whole way through ( Read more... )

I went, mostly against my will, to see Mamma Mia. For the first wee while I sat in open mouthed horror at how horrendous the whole thing was.

However, as the film wore on my cold little heart gradually melted and by the end I was prepared to admit that ( Read more... )

And Let me tell you why. Let me preface thus by saying that i'm pretty drunk but i'm trying very hard ( Read more... )

So Bristol isn't going to work out. As I don't have a job to go to there I can't rent a flat, something I should have known really but I have no experience of these things so there you go. I am disappointed, but in a way also relieved, as I had committed myself to the huge expense of moving with no job to go to. Would have been fun, but nevermind. ( Read more... )

My Dad invited me to go out with his hillwalking club yesterday and I was like "Yeah sure, sounds fun etc", then he told me it was about a 15mile walk which included two Munros. Oh. Sure, sure, I can handle that. Or not, as the case may be. It might have been ok had the weather been nice which I don't think it was unreasonable to expect, you know, ( Read more... )

So I went for my interview in Bristol yesterday. I was absolutely shitting myself - it was my first ever "proper" job interview and I seriously felt like crying. I always manage to get myself completely worked up in situations like this. However, it went fine, and they think I "would fit in well with the team" and want me to go back to meet the ( Read more... )
