    Boy comes up occasionally to check I'm still alive, but for the most part I've lost him to Black Ops. Oh, the joys of an exam timetable that finished on Tuesday.
    He leaves Black Ops to check on you?! Now that is love.

    I got the job I interviewed for on Monday. It's only 3 days a week but a great wage so I should be able to live off it. Going to give them my final decision on Monday but I think I'll take it

    When I was last at Ben's I told him I was going to bed. He started to pack things away as if making to come with me bu I told him this would be a good opportunity to nerd. He definitely loves me more for saying that

    Diablo 3 is the latest thing :rolleyes:

    Eeep, looking at the options for graduation photography and some of them are ridiculous. Seriously, who spends £150 on photos?!

    Well done! What's the job?

    You could always take up a little second job if you needed more cash if things get tight.



    I've had a stressful day. SO glad it is Friday. Things are starting to get going with my new job at work, haven't had much info for weeks (still don't even know how much extra money I'm getting as HR as so slow ) but they want me to start doing it from Monday. Next week is going to be mental but 2 more weeks and then I get 10 nights at home with no work

    Pizza, wine, ben & jerrys time now. Meant to be eating no rubbish so I can lose some fat but at least I've done hockey this week plus a 4 mile run and I'm going to do a 6 mile run this weekend so I'm sure it's fine.

    Thanks for the support guys, it means a lot The job is in admin for a management company, similar to Serco. It's only three days a week to start with but it's got a great training programme and the wages are awesome. I actually rang the boss up earlier this afternoon and accepted the post so it's all mine Plus, it's a 10 minute bus ride to get there and then the building is right over the road from the bus station - score! I'm also happy that I'll be getting one of my days off to spend with Andy which is lovely (he apologised for being a dick last night which is good).

    So, I'm not sure what to think... I mentioned the boys ex making snide comments on my photos... i reported her on facebook but then I blocked her because thats a requirement when you report someone on facebook (that or send them a message and I ain't about to get into that argument!). The boy told me to ignore her and that he was going to delete her from his facebook... I just unblocked her because I was sorting my facebook out and my intention was never to block her in the first place, but the boy is still friends with her... I'd not mind if she'd not just been a massive bitch AND he'd told me he was going to... So now I don't know if hes just forgotten or he's said it to keep me happy and because he knew i'd blocked her, he kept her as a friend... this wouldn't be the first time this month he's lied to me about something either so obviously my mind is jumping to the worst because i've always had trust issues in the past anyway... I don't know :sad: I know its only facebook and I don't want to think he's done it on purpose but after that massive lie he told a few weeks ago i'm having a really hard time trusting :sad:

    Edit: i also dont want to bring this up with him while hes slap bang in the middle of exams as well

    Massive :hugs: Being a boy, it seems most likely that he just forgot. But since it's clearly upsetting you, I'm not sure that you should completely ignore it - you don't want to let things fester and then they come out in a later argument. How long is it until he finishes exams? You could try bringing it up in a joking way, and see if he gets the hint, without you guys having to have a full on discussion about it?

    Ooooo, there's one in Newcastle That might have to be my backup plan for when the boy comes up next weekend (the current plan is to have a picnic in the botanic gardens, but so far it doesn't look like the weather will be nice enough to do that :sad:)

    Show them your student card, too, and you'll get a 15% discount! Seriously, me and the boy both had a burger each (with a flat mushroom as an extra), two MASSIVE portions of chips, a bowl of onion rings (honestly, for two of you just get one of each to share) and two Diet Cokes, and it came to £22 something with the discount. The burgers are really big and meaty... I'm SO full. We really, really should have just got one chips and one onion rings. Oh well, I've been really good the past few days, so I'm sure my metabolism needed the extra calories. :p:

    I'm trying to be good at the moment too (although will be have
    ing a massive calorie blowout after my exam - no one else will be done so I can't go out drinking, so I'm planning on Dominos (Two for Tuesday FTW), wine and Ben and Jerry's)

    By the way, just a bit of trivial happy news from me which I want to share, I went to count something out in my head earlier and before I realised what I was doing I realised I was counting in spanish, in my head :woo: :gah: I'm so proud of myself that spanish has become that natural that i'm thinking in it :awesome:

    I know I'm probably being dense, but what was the massive lie he told you a few weeks ago?

    I mentioned it a few weeks ago when it happened but was just as vague then because its not really something I can talk about sorry. I mean I know why he lied in retrospect but it still doesnt make it any easier

    I have literally served as a midnight snack for about 20 mosquitos last night!

    Ewwww, mozzies :yucky: Just don't do what I did when I was 10, and decide that scratching them with a hairbrush is a good idea - ended up on anti-biotics :pinch:

    Morning ladies I may still be in bed

    Going to get up in a bit, want to head into town and pick up some fruit from the market, plus a couple of bits for lunch, then it's time for an afternoon of revision.

    Boy fell asleep without texting me last night, so I'm being petty and waiting for him to text me first this morning.

    Morning everyone! (Just about )

    I know I've been a bit absent the last couple of days, but thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and exam good luck! It actually went pretty well, and the rest of my day was awesome So I've been spending my days trying to ignore the miserable weather and do as little as possible which has been lovely and relaxing but not very interesting.

    I did go to an absolutely amazing May Ball last night though, which had me totally knackered by 1am and is entirely the reason I've only just dragged myself out of bed

    Got up at half 7 this morning and since then have packed up 5 boxes of stuff, dismantled a wardrobe, a shoe rack and cleared some small shelves - about to list these on eBay and then more packing eek. Trying to get as much packing done now as I can, even though I don't move until 14 June I'm in Greece for a week from next weekend and then after that don't have any days when I'm not at work until actual moving day!

    Watching that Secret Eaters programme on 4oD. I'm seeing some of my own eating habits in the programme but I hopefully don't think I'm that bad anymore, mainly as I'm now so money consious every food decision is linked to my bank balance!

    No idea what to do with myself today.
