Thursday

Had a good happy day today I have!

This morning John and I went to Rye market. I like Rye it's a really pretty little town and it's only about half and hour away. We had a nice amble round the market and I bought a lovely purple sock for my new phone! So my phone is all cozy and snug in my bag now.

After the market John and I went in search of a tea room. We have just about been in all the tea rooms in Rye but found one we hadnt been in today. It was a lovely tearoom that employed people with learning disabilities - then I read the information on the table and the teamroom was just part of an organisation that did alot for people with learning disabilities. I thought it was absolutely brilliant and I jotted down the website www.c-o-t.org.uk/. There is a home for over 90 people with learning disabilities and they are all employed within the organisation and money spent at the tearooms etc goes towards the charity. Absolutely brilliant! There is an art workshop and a farm and woods! I want to go visit the woods next! Go and visit the website it is really fantastic! I was really moved by it.

Then I had English this afternoon. We handed in all our course work! Feel so much better! I also feel better having read Othello! It was so uplifting - I cant explain! But beautiful and so so ooooooh I cant explain! Anyway, we also got the results of our mock exam we did last week. We all didnt do too bad really, just a few things we need to brush up on - so we were all happy buns! Also handed in my science coursework too so that's all done and dusted! Just got the exams coming up in May and June! In Science we are studying biology at the moment! Its quite interesting I will have to share some lessons with you I think! Not today though!

Right I better go because Im probably boring the pants off you!

Friends

I wasnt really sure what to write in my journal today - my mind is a bit blank after splurging out all that Othello stuff last night. One minute I didnt know what to write then the next minute my mind was sprayed all over the page! I couldnt stop writing. Then when I had finished I sent it to my lovely friend Stuart as I value his opinion highly and like a good friend he is he read it for me and gave me a few tips to make it final. Then Joany Joan sent me a lovely email about friends and so I thought my entry today would be about friends and how important they are in our lives.

I have always had lots of friends around me because I like that. I do have special friends that mean more but generally I am a people person. I am very lucky because I make friends very easily. I never find it hard to chat to people and other people tend to draw to me for some reason! Dont know why ha ha! Still I like it and its great meeting people. I will talk a little about one of my friend's Sally that I have just recently made.

We used to work together at the school and now she works with me at Crowhurst. We now see each other every Wednesday - she is my Wednesday friend! hee hee! We get on really well and have the same ideas, opinions etc. We are also very happy in our relationships with our partners and its great to be able to chat to each other about that. Such a relief to have a friend that doesnt actually moan about her partner all the time and that she is as happy as I am. She also only lives two doors away from me in our lovely little Close! Im glad that Sally is my friend.  I will have to get a pic of her to show you!

Journals is a great way of making friends. I have made some very dear friends on here! And you know who you are! It's great that you can make friends with someone you havent even met. I intend this year to meet one of you! Yes I do! That's you Miss Sara Sara!! There are alot of you I would love to meet but we would never ever do it all would we. So it's great to think that we can be in touch on here when we want to. I always value your comments - each and every one of you - thank you!

More on friends tomorrow I think!

Blimey was that a load of dribble or did it make sense!

Othello

Wow Othello is brilliant! x

Major Faff

Well I've mucked about with my email and IM settings - changed my font and background colour! Why the hell did I do that? Just to avoid the essay! I am doing anything to avoid it! LOL

Someone said to me yesterday in my journal - why are you doing it if you dont want to. I do want to do it its just that I dont want to do it now! If you get what I mean. If Im to go into teaching then it is necessary for me to have an English GCSE - but I just cant seem to fit it in my life right now. I will get it done in the end - I always do - I just like a good ole moan along the way LOL!

Worked today on a private job.My friend and I we went to a house that was bought by the parents for a son who had just come back from Thailand with his three small children.  I dont really know much of the background but I take it that he had to come back suddenly and now has this house that needed a good clean. Anyway, we got there about 9.15 and he was still there with his children. He probably felt awkward with us there and he promptly made an exit. But, when I went into the kitchen to see if his Mum had paid us, she hadnt. I phoned her and she said 'oh I dont think I can get out to you today can I pay you later.' Bloomin cheek - anyway, my friend told her that we needed the money today and couldnt continue with the job until she paid us. Wish I could be like that - Im too bloomin nice! Anyway, the lady came with the money about 11.30 and she was very blunt indeed. She even said infront of her husband that men were useless! How could she be so rude! Oh well we did a good job and we got good money so thats that!

Then I got back to my house and felt a bit fed up as my house was a tip and I'd just left that man's house gleaming and shiny and lovely! Dont feel like doing my own!

After tea Im going to sit down and write my essay - I watched more of the play last night to get more of a feel of it! I have decided to write about Iago and his evil ways and how he convinces everyone that he is so honest! He is a very deep character and lots to write about him so I think I have a plan now! The trouble is in the play Im watching Iago is played by Bob Hoskins and I just keep thinking of Bob Hoskins!

I feel a bit funny today and I dont know why. I feel lonely and that is silly! John has gone up to his new job - he hasnt started it yet but he has just gone up to see them and see how thier office operates. He starts at beginning of May. I miss him when he is not here.

I havent taken Oscar out yet and its such a lovely day - I really should but I just cant get the motivation to. Poor ole Oscar! Although he had a nice cuddle on the bed with me this afternoon - I dont often let him on the bed but I was just about to change the bedding so let him have a treat - he couldnt believe his luck! I love having a big cuddle with my soppy doggie!

Right Im still faffing arent I! Im off now.

Promised pictures and more

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely weekend. I'm a bit fed up today because I know I have to write an essay for my Othello and I still havent finished reading it and I just can't seem to! Every time I try it just doesnt sink in  - I have to have essay handed in by Thursday - its only 5 % of the marks - it doesnt seem worth it! Im really fed up and down about it so I will cheer up by showing you some piccies!

I got this lovely new phone on Friday and I took some great piccies with it over the weekend - its a Sony Ericsson K850i - I have always had Nokia so its all new to me but its a great camera and it has 5mega pixels! It looks like this:

Isnt that just a cool looking phone and all the reviews say it is the best on the market for a camera! And best still I paid nothing for it at all! It was free with my new contract with Virgin! YAY!!!!

 

Here is me yesterday in London having a cuppa before I went to the Ideal Home Exhibition. I traveled up to London with my friend Carol who was meeting her sister so we had a cuppa before we went our separate ways.

After the exhibition I met up again with Carol and her sister and Carol's little boy Jonty had bought this teddy bear!

This is today, John and I took our lovely Oscar Oscarto the beach which is his most favourite place in the whole world - see he is smiling!

New Camera phones does sepia!

And the promised picture of my new car!

Awww my old car is hiding behind it. That is going to be scrapped this week - sad really!
