Just a quick update on what been happening in my world since my last blog.
We'll start off with an update on the previously metioned china fieldtrip. It would appear that (after a bit of inter-departmental faffing) I will be reciving a £500 bursary towards the visit. WOO HOO. This now means that all i have left to pay is £270 in January and the trip itself is paid for. Of course, I still have to pay for a passport renewal, jabs etc, but hey. £500 is £500, now if only I had that much in my bank account.
Moving on, I braved the freezing weather and went home this weekend for two reasons, firstly it was my sisters 14th birthday during the week, and secondly it was Naitlin and Cicks (as they now appear to be called) house-warming party. although I got home on the Friday evening and discovered that it was a friennd of the family 40th birthday celebration at Ulverston sports club, so although I expected a quiet night in with the family I ended up getting tipsy and listening to a cover band for the evening. The cover band in question seemed to do a bit of everything 'rock' wth varying degrees of success. Although they murdered the pink floyd solo which made me sad.
On the saturday I went to Tesco to beg for a xmas temp job, but was told that the application system for temps is now being handled by personnel, rather then by each department, so my details have been passed on and hopefully i'll be getting a phone call in the next week or two. after going to Tesco I decided to go and annoy Shoey for a bit before the party, by which I mean we sat and played lips for a couple of hours, good fun, I recommend it.
Then that evening there was the house-warming party. fun was had by all, especially Caitlin it would appear. (who almost definetly had more than 2 drinks!) although shoey waking her after 5 mins and telling her she'd slept for and hour and a half was a laugh.
Day after the night before me Caitlin, Jon and Nick wet for a walk down towards the gas terminal and salthouse mills in the frost, then got back and watched survivors.
it wasnn't until i decided to leave that afternoon that I realised how cold it must have been. in that I walked to the car, got in started up thhe engine and turned the lights on only to realise there was a layer of ice on the screen, so I got out and rubbed what i could off annd got back in and tried again, it was only then that I realised that the layer of ice had formed INSIDE the car, and although i got some hot water from nicks to remove what i could from the outside, in a car with no heating system it was a bloody long, cold drive home!
Anyhow, that's it from me for now. there will probably be another blog around christmas time (well it's something to relieve me from the mind-numbing commercialism and mass psychosis that is december the 25th.
