I also forgot to mention that yesterday was the first proper snow day of winter.
Last night it snowed more and now it has settled.
<3

Again, last work week was uneventful, apart from another trip to Dartford.
On Friday, however, I went straight from work to a charity ball. It was a great deal of fun, I was just knackered.
Saturday was spent in Birmingham and Walsall, shopping and waiting for cloudysky. Fun times were had, including a Borders 30% off sale (oops) and an amazing Japanese restaurant underneath the Bull Ring.
Also, I can now say I have seen Walsall! haha
On Sunday, cloudysky and I went shopping in Birmingham. Amazing times!! We really did nearly drop after shopping! haha
I am skint now! lol
I did, however, purchase many new books and an amazing new wallet!! <3
Sunday night I helped with a few essays and then yesterday Emma came over. :D
I worked at home so it was nice for her to have me there when James woke up.
Last night was chill time and tonight we put up our Chrissy tree! :D
Woo!!

In other news, I have cut up all credit cards in order to help pay them off. I am so proud of myself!! :D

Oh, and I have had some very strange dreams lately...

So as it turns out, my only fun at the moment is on weekends! lol
On Friday, I had a great adventure and made my way from work (after waiting 40 minutes again for a bus on my work route) to the other side of Sheffield for the Buddhist center to attend their Tara Chanting Retreat.
I had fun at the Tara Chanting retreat!! It was tiring (I slept about 3 hours all up) but it was really peaceful. We repeated the chants and the 21 incarnations of Tara thing about 6 times over about 20 hours. It was incredible. It was really calming.
Then I was dropped off at home, got changed and left straight away for Leeds to see The Living End.
O.M.G!
The concert was amazing!
I ended up in 2nd row in the mosh (some guy let me through! I kid you not!) and I touched Scotty's bass, touched Chris Cheney and scored Chris Cheney's guitar pick. Amazing.
I was talking to some random weird guy for a little while because he started asking me at the merch stand how I knew about TLE, and I was like 'um? listen to my accent?' lol

Then we got a lift back and slept a few hours before getting up on Sunday to go to Toys R Us with our Liam.
It was awesome fun too!! We went around for a few hours and sorted out his Christmas presents. I loved it!!
He was so funny! I treated everyone to a Pizza Hut lunch and then we went home.
Then Charlie and I went out (on a Sunday night!!! - !!!!) with Chloe and Alex.
12 jugs of Purple Rain later..... Yeah...
It got a bit messy and I felt like shit yesterday! lol I still went to work though!!!

I also had to go get my coat, which I left in the Buddhist center on Saturday, and so I had another adventure out there! lol

Then today, I directed three Aussie guys to Sheffield from Meadowhall. It was good times! haha

That is all my news, apart from that I am doing great on my Mission 101 and that I am having a Disney DVD Christmas!! ;) ;D

I am a month into my Mission 101 List already.

( I am proud of my progress so far! )

So not much has happened in the last week apart from the following, which will be given in short.

I found out last Friday night that I am definitely on my course, but had to wait until Sunday night my time to ring up and confirm that I was ok to post my confirmation after the cut off date. All is good and I am sorting out subjects with my very nice course co-ordinator at the moment. She is enrolling me on relevant Speech Therapy subjects that are available by Distance Ed. :)

We went to Whitby and Scarborough on Saturday and it was bitterly windy. I love Whitby a great deal, but I have to admit it was windy. I loved it all the same. I took some more amazing photos, but just got upset that I couldn't have any chips from anywhere. Stupid cooking in beef fat, etc.
Charlie and I went out on Saturday night with Paul and Jo to Pizza Hut, but they had to pay because my card was declined. It turns out the shop I bought an in car charger from had charged me for it twice. I had used my Australian card and ended up losing money in the refund so they gave me a free case...

On Sunday we went to Blackpool (never again, although I did buy some Pocky, Milo and Sushi making goods. I also purchased a staff creating ruler. It is awesome) and then Liverpool. Again it was bitterly cold, but fun nonetheless.

I miss driving and loved driving around again.

I found out that I am getting my bonus in tomorrow's pay and I am happy it is paying for Christmas, a few bits and pieces and then paying off a big chunk of some cards. I am so grateful for it!!!

That is about it really. I am about to update my 101 as I am a month in. :)

Well, last week was pretty uneventful (apart from two days straight at work doing nothing but one customer's work!!) and then the weekend came!
I ran out the door at 5 and got to the coach station. 3 and a bit hours later, I was in London and off to see dannydisco!! :D YAY!!
We had amazing times!
I really ought to bring the photos over, but in short the weekend is this:
Friday:
Got in late and made it to the Tower tube station by myself!! (Get me! haha) and we sat up nearly all night talking.
Saturday:
We spent about 5 hours in the Tower, including a lovely, lovely morning tea. I had scones! haha
We then tried to make it to the zoo, but missed final let in. So we ate our Subway while cruising Baker St, got caught in a sea of Chelsea fans and then wandered from Trafalgar Square round to Westminster Abbey.
Amazing times.
We then went ice skating outdoors and didn't fall over, no thanks to a whole host of people holding on to each other and hogging the ice.
Sunday:
Sunday was spent at the London Dungeon. We walked over Tower Bridge and walked back over London Bridge. We stopped off then at Monument and took pictures of that and Pudding Lane.
We then had lunch in a Whetherspoon's near the Tower. It was amazing.
I then went home. :( lol

So that is my weekend in short. It was amazing times!

Since then I have just been at work and doing the same old, same old.
Although I did have my review and it went well. Surprisingly well actually. My boss is happy with me and I said I was happy now I was not just testing. (Though it is still just a means to an ends to get to Speech Therapy Masters) As it turns out now, 6 months and I should be out of training. Yay!! :D lol

In other news, Mission 101 is going well this time. I have finished tons of books and other stuff is in the works. Check this space!!

I can hear them singing from my house! I am 2 miles away, roughly, and can hear clearly the singing from Oakwell. Seriously. I kid you not.

Red Army!
We love you Barnsley, we do...
etc, etc...

<3

So today, I received an email from the Uni that starts like this:
You have received this email for one of the following reasons:

- You are intending to study at CSU.
- You are a current student or staff member.
- You applied and have chosen not to accept enrolment with CSU, if so please disregard this email.

The mystery deepens, but appears to be that I have been accepted??
I am still unsure as no correspondance has appeared in my mailbox! lol

I am still crossing my fingers!!!

I have been back at work this week. I spent Monday in a web conference, that I had never done before. I bumbled through and managed to come out OK, I think...
I then basically worked all week.
I did, however, see Muse in Sheffield on Wednesday night. It was absolutely amazing! They played Supermassive Blackholes which is my favourite. I was even more stoked when they finished with Knights of Cydonia! :D The crowd went off! Well, except for Charlie as he still has an injured arm! lol

He is getting better, but is still in a lot of pain!!!

In other news, we went shopping in Meadowhall today and the old Zavvi store (now Head??) is closing down and selling everything. I bought £50 of CDs and DVDs. I also bought Guitar Hero on Tour Decades for like £5! Amazing! <3

Other than that, we just went to Locke Park last night for the bonfire and I finally got a letter from the ATO who informed me they have "adjusted" my tax return so I owe nothing. That was great news idiots.

Also, apparently a decision has been made on the course I applied for next year with CSU, but I've not received the letter yet so I am still crossing my fingers on account of that.

I have sent off everything for volunteering but am yet to hear back from Mencap or the NHS.

I think that is about all really, I am boring! haha

I am so freaking tired.
I hardly slept last night and can't stay in bed.
Though I did watch Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. I got upset at the end...

If anyone can tell me who Dallas Crane supported on tour in 2005-2006ish, that would be appreciated. I know I have seen them live, but can't remember who they supported...
Kthxbai.

Ok, I will try this again as I managed to lose this post via the app.... Today I cut up a credit card and it was quite freeing!! I know that it will be paid of soon now. :) In other news, Green Day were fab last night. I was tired from my trip to Dartford, but I loved it all the same! There were two young blokes next to me who were hilarious!! In my only other bit of news, I am having a hair cut on Saturday and I think I'm going short again.... Now I am on my way to Barnsley to get to the football. Barnsley v Man U. Come on you Reds!!!

WTF!?

I have to pay the ATO 2c!

2c!!

I have to pay the ATO 2 cents!

Does it make it any better every time I write it? Not really!!!

2 freaking cents!!!

How the feck does that work!!!???

Gross tax payable: 26c
Tax offsets: 24c

Therefore, I owe 2c.

2 freaking cents!!!!

What a load of crock.

I want to pay in cash! hahaha
