    Love the cupcakes!

    And Kat, well done for sticking to it! I started to eat healthily a while ago but with exams and dissertation stuff I didn't manage. But I am back on track now and have lost about two kilos in three weeks. (Still not fitting into all my ball gowns though )

    My ball was fun but I think I broke my toe-or at least damage the joints a lot. It's all blue and blue where the toe connects to the foot (there it's actually blue along three toes, hope that makes sense).

    Bit of a rant: Looks like the boy can't move to England with me as it's just not the best thing to move in together and limit himself in regards of where he's looking for jobs. Selfish me just wants him to come and live together, but I agree that it is probably not the best option. So we've discussed what to do and one option would be for him to move back home while he's looking for jobs, applying for post grad schemes etc. But that would mean t's about 8 hours between us and we won't see each other a lot. Not sure what to do now. He could come down but then he'd spend money he doesn't have. And then he might have to move out after one year anyway, depending on where he's getting onto postgrad schemes. Sorry this is such a waffle, hope you guys know what I mean. Bit upset today as I can't see us only seeing each other every few months (don't think we could afford it more often). And obviously with me never having been to his family home I am not sure whether I could go visit him there and if I live with people whether they'd be ok with him coming regularly.

    Edit: Oh and all of this is of course only if I get my 2.1. If not I don't have a job and no idea what I could do at all. Don't have family here so would either figure it out within 2 weeks or go back home. The future looks quite grim at the moment, no matter how I look at it
    :hugs: and fingers crossed. You might be able to find cheap tickets (train or plane) in advance

    Love the cakes aimee

    Well done Kat

    ...And it's done. I am SO happy! :woo: It feels really weird not having anything to do, though - this is literally the first time in ages. I'm such an old lady. I met boy at New Street and we went out for dinner, come home and now I'm in bed while he's out drinking. I've had a glass of rosé and a Rekorderlig and I'm shattered! :p:

    Just gotta wait for results now. I'm nervous!

    As long as I get above 50% average this year, I'm guaranteed a 2i, buuut I really want a first. But one of the questions on today's paper was a bit of a disaster (but, then again, that question was worth - wait for it - 33.3% of 60% of a 30 CAT module (we do 120/year). And both years are split equally, so hopefully it won't be a complete write off!

    Oh dear.

    a) that last post was ridiculously drunk.
    b) I cried at this video
    c) I thought I'd lost my braclet (the one that the boy gave me for our first anniversary, and that I've worn almost every day since then), and I sobbed for about 10 minutes. Found it, but that was horrible.


    Think I feel particulrly bad after talking to my friend about her relationship. They've been together nearlt as long as B and I have, but she admitted she just doesn't feel attacted to him anymore, and feels like she could do better (alonf with her mum teellinng her so. I'm worried - I feel sorry for her, but I'm also sacred that when B and I see each other more often, this will happen. I'm madly, deeply in love with him, but I'm worreid that when we are closer, and able to see each other whenever, that lust will disapppear..

    :hugs::hugs: Just because it happened to her doesn't mean it will to you, I think a lot of people struggle with the transition of 'honeymoon' to long term to really long term as they are very different states. Some people aren't able to cope with this transition and the evolvement of their relationship whereas others can easily adapt and actually relish it. I wouldn't let it worry you, some peope are meant to be forever and some just for a short while.

    I have almost finished my essay which is very, very exciting! I'm almost free!!!! Taking today off to spend the day with my little cousins, we're going to an amazing centreparks swimming pool with rapids etc... and then ice cream!

    Wearing a tampon for the first time whilst swimming and tbh I'm a bit nervous, silly I know especially at my age. Any tips would be great.

    ok apologies of this is tmi wipe before you put it in (obv) but its good to have a bit of 'lubrication' so not too much. Do more after its in. I assume it's one with an applicator, so push it in and then push the bottom part of the applicator up and push both sections up a bit more to make sure it's in enough. Then pull both sections out. I can generally feel it in for a few mins, then nothing. You may want to wear a panty liner or line your underwear with tissue, in case any bits weren't wiped away


    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the hugs Feeling better mentally this morning (although I feel horrible physically )

    Have fun today!

    Oh god, why do I do this to myself? I feel rather dreadful. What I really need is a nice kind Benji to bring me a McDonald's breakfast and a diet coke. Think I'll have to settle for beans on toast, as soon as I can bring myself to move...

    I feel bad, I'm supposed to be going out tonight to celebtrate the end of my friend's exams, but I really don't think I'm up to drinking another night. I'll still go, will just have to spend the evening being boring and drinking diet coke.

    Had another huge argument last night with my bf. Haven't gone into work today as I'm exhausted, boss said I can just go into tomorrow to make it up so it's not really a big deal. I have nothing planned for the day, any suggestions? I've spent the last two hours cleaning, but with nothing to revise for and not being able to get anywhere my activities are limited to in the house and outside in this tiny village. He's home tomorrow, I'm sick of apologising for saying horrible things and taking my frustration out on him when I know he doesn't deserve it, and it definitely makes us feel more distant. I've thought about making gingerbread.

    Glad you're feeling better Things might change but it's not always a bad thing. I feel we've lost a lot of the excitement but we're also a lot more settled and fight less (although we do have our moments). It's hard when friends are going through this stuff. My best friend broke up with her boyfriend last week and they'd been together about as long as we have. But they were different, they were nowhere near the stage of living together and her parents didn't like him and she didn't see them being together long term. I think if you want it to work you'll just work through the bad patches.

    Spoiler:

    There's also a part of me that's a bit jealous that she's 'free' again... Cos I don't really see myself marrying Mark or anything and we were really young when we got together. But then they always say you're more likely to break up when your friends do, don't they? I feel bad just writing this.

    Don't know, what do you enjoy doing? I've already suggested all the indoor things like telly, films, games. Sit in the garden and read if it's warm where you are? Maybe do some gardening or go for a walk if you feel like being outside and more active? Online shopping? There's millions of things to do.

    Urghhh my international office are useless :sigh:

    They're claiming to never have received my fax (I have proof that they did) so I posted it and no one will tell me if they've received it (I again have proof that they did) added to that, I just got an email saying if they dont get all these docs, I'm going to have to pay all my erasmus back! Surely they cant do that to me when I have proof of sending twice! I'M SO STRESSED!!!

    Edit: Flo - that video just made me absolutely cry my eyes out big style! :cry2:

    That's ridiculous! I don't have any experience with international stuff at uni but can't you go over their heads? Or speak to your counsellor or maybe student support/experience/whatever it's called? I'm sure you won't have to pay it back, this is their mistake.
