Tis half term this week, so mega quiet in work. Quite good really as i've got loads of work to do for my NVQ 3 Admin. I'm aiming to get it done by christmas which i don't think is an unrealistic target really, if i push on with it. Whilst doing this i'm also trying a career change. I've started a course to become a qualified NVQ Assessor, which means new job and loads more money :-) I have to assess 3 students on 1 unit each by Easter and get my portfolio done. Really looking forward to starting it.
On Saturday we got beaten yet again. Marcus Bent scored 2 goals and we still couldn't bloody win against Birmingham of all teams. We really should be beating the teams that are around us, and this is now 5 defeats on the bounce. Watch out Hutchings! Next Saturday we've got Chelsea at home, so i'd imagine we'll clock up 6 defeats and Chelsea might clock up 6 goals ala the drubbing they gave Man Citeh at the weekend. Not looking forward to this at all!

Wigan!
Had a great weekend. Emily came up with her boyfriend Gareth for the Wigan Pompey match (whihc unfortunatly we lost - rolly eye thingymabob) We were shit, thanks Emily for pointing that out ;-) The entire team was shocking, Jason Koumas was definately not his usual self, he just didn't seem to know what to do with the ball when he got the thing. Special mention has to go to Marcus Bent though. What a shocking footballer, if we wanted a striker who spends the whole match on his arse we'd have signed Mr Blobby thanks.
Titus Bramble is going up in my estimation though, he saved two clear goals when the Pompey strikers were through, and played generally well.
I met David Nugent after the match (he sadly wasn't naked this time) Mwahahaha, have some of that Ems ;-)
Saturday night i trollied into Wigan to watch the rugby, they lost too, useless bastards. Then went in Berkely Square and Reflex, via Mr Joes for chips :-) Reflex is aceness, i'm a right 80's child. We had a few drinky poos in their before heading off home, with hopefully another meet up planned in a couple of weeks. I like Emily, she's cool :-)
On Sunday it was my mums birthday (Happy Birthday Mummy!) so after driving a hung over Christopher home, we went to the Reebok Stadium (I felt so dirty!) for this Christmas craft fayre, it was really nice. There were all sorts of stalls selling things like Jewellry, and different craft things, plus a massive card making/scrapbooking stall that was really cheap!
Had Burger King on the way home then watched West Ham V Sunderland. Poor Craig Gordon, i bet he couldn't score that goal again if he tried bless 'im!

I hate work
Quite possibly the most over used phrase ever but it's true. I have a boring job and i've been here far too long. For the minute though i'm only hanging on until i move to Preston with my beloved next year. Students really are quite thick. My spanish course ends in May, so i'll be holding on til then and doing some job hunting a couple of months before hand.
I had applied for a temporary job in student services before my holibobs, but the interviews were while i was away, HR lady said that if they didn't get anyone for the job then i could have an interview when i came back (i'm not sure how legal that is) however i've since learned that both of the other candidates dropped out of the running before interview time, so now i'll get an interview but they've also re-advertised it! As it happens though i'm not sure about being tied here til next November so they can tickle off the cheeky bastards!
I've also got some level 3 admin work to do for my portfolio. I just can't be bothered at the moment, i've hit a right mid course slump! I do need this though, so i'm trying to plod my way through, i've got a lot of essays to do and i have to conduct a meeting with someone i work with, which is an easy part i suppose.
I'm looking forward to the weekend though. Emily is coming up to Wigan with her other half to watch her football team lose ;-) and then we're trollying off round Wigan via a trip to Preston to pick Chris up after the rugby final. I have to decide what to wear now though! Primark had some amazing high waisted grey skinny jeans in but they haven't got them now, i was thinking of wearing my new snazzy purple tights with boots and maybe my denim shorts. I shall have to see.
I've not straightened my hair for nearly two weeks now! This is quite some feat as i've been straightening it every day for yonks. It just looked really good on holiday unstraightened, and my hair seems to have grown quite substantially. I'm going to see if i can go til christmas without using them. Eek!

Hola!
Got back from sunny spain yesterday. Had a great time apart from the Thursday and Friday when it rained, thundered and lightened none stop. Half of Spain flooded! The weather was great the rest of the time though, 28 in the day and 22 at night, i've come back with a not too shabby tan :-)
The flights and transfers we're pretty good, although i've discovered that i HATE taking off, tis the hurtling down the runway bit that i don't like :-(
The hotel was absolutly lovely! I can see why it's had such rave reviews. The apartments were massive and the pools were lovely and clean, although lots of irresponsible parents had taken their kids out of school, thank heavens for the adult only pool! I almost learned how to swim, and would have if it hadn't been for the bloody weather!
The hotel was quite far from anything though, we had a 10 minute walk down a massive hill to get to old benidorm where there were lots of lovely little restaurants to eat in. Didn't see any English people outside of the hotel, which was quite nice actually as we got to sample a lot of spanish culture. Didn't see any in the hotel either come to think of it as everyone was bloody Scottish!
Went shopping on Thursday and got the most gorgeous pair of shoes from Zara! Got a winter coat too and came out 120 euros lighter but hey ho, no one else will have the same coat as me :-)
Friday we went in a Man United bar (ran by scots, how ironic!) to watch the England under 21's. We also got to watch emmerdale and corrie before it started. Ha.
All in all the week was fab, it went really slowly too, it was great spending so much time with chris although it feels super weird now i'm at home on my own :-(

Excitement!
I'm going on holiday to Benidorm on Saturday. Super excited. Can't wait! Just me and Christopher and a week relaxing and sunning ourselves, Chris is also going to try and teach me how to swim. I wish him luck!
Trying to keep myself busy so the time will pass quickly, going to bingo with mother tomorrow night in the hope of winning some extra spends, and then on Thursday i'm having my nails done and collecting avon books. Friday i'll be going to Chris's for a nice early night before we jet off in the morning! :-)
Lee McCulloch's scored tonight for Rangers in the Champions League bless him, i bet he's made up! and so far even Preston are winning! Woop!
