:hello: Just catching up with everyone.
Tallie - new computer sounds great:j

fay and yorkshire belle - grr at car troubles, hope you both get sorted out with as little inconvenience as possible. :mad: :mad: :mad: at thoughtless vandalism.

KT - Good luck for your first shift at the samaritans, its great that there are lovely people like you who are willing to give up their time to help people who may be feeling lonely or desperate:A :A I'm sure you will be fine;)

OliveOyl - My gym works out about £1 a visit for swim, jacuzzi, steam and a shower and one day I may even venture onto the machines :rotfl: . I enjoy my swim it is great for destressing after work so I don't feel guilty about going at all.If you enjoy going and you can afford it go for it:j and then you can add it to your list like me:rotfl:

Hi to the new posters - good to have you on board:D

KTjazz

Thank you so much for all your support.

I feel physically sick at the moment and my shift doesn't start until 8pm. I know that the first call will be the hardest by far. Walking though the front door tonight scares me!

I can do this though. I have a good mentor (who I've already cried in front of once...) one of the other trainees from my group is on my shift too. The other shift partner is great too. A great bunch, and unusual for there to be 4 of us on the one shift.

There is so much support.

I'll be honest though. I am back on here to keep my brain busy for the next 2 hours...

oh, and to add another thing to my list. I was stopped to do a survey while I was in the shops today. Watch a dvd answer a few questions and get £5. It's not a lot but it's something right?

ok, I'm going to go clean something...

KTjazz.

Hey all, good evening,
Thanks for all your messages, the computer really is fab. Its so quick and much easier to use. I went and did spending today oh dear....but i am owed the overtime so its not bad. The colour is the best too! Pink but more purply plum. i love it!
I took max the dog to get a fur cut. £22.00! But he is lovely and cuddly now
Tesco trip 25.00 ( i got new pillows and fresh fruit, shopping bits
Krispy creme doughnuts...3.00
Mazazine suspscription for Zest 25.00 but i do get a fab freebie with it, new towels and body stuff
So bad me but as said, overtime coming to cover all and next month i should be able to add some money to the savings too. 2 weeks to payday!
Tomo is a study day and i have a councelling session at 1.30pm. Driving to save on bus fares.
KT – Yes too from me big good lucks, hope it goes well, its great what your doing, it makes a difference to people to have someone to talk to
Girls – the gym is so expensive in London!!! They never include everything too, you always have to pay extra for the class you want coz its not included in their group classes! I think going for free walks and swimming works out more economical!

Trust me, i know what slow is!! My computer jams/stops working around every twenty minutes and i have to wait anything up to seven minutes for it to start working again and catch up to itself. Still, a computer is better than no computer!!:rotfl:

Hee hee maybe we have the same gremlins winding up our computers inside, I often wonder if mine has the mice from bag puss inside it - lets bless our slow computers they are probably conserving money by being so slow.....

Well thats taken some reading today, folks seem to have been put through the mill a bit - here's a toast too - new computers, being late, decent savings, fixing windows (grrrrr), joining gyms, enjoying riding, making lists (and doing them), and especially those doing voluntry stuff (goodluck KT xx )as well as all of their own things - phew! May each of save the pennies where we need to be able to spoil ourselves where we can xx

Its horrible here, this evil weather is making me all nostalgic - sniff.:D

Anyone wanting to go to Oban and make a presentation for me next week, 3 day stay in a nice hotel, dinner and celidh - then please email me - I don't want to go I hate giving presentations. Come on, who's up for a mini- break at a post-grad conference?????? I don't mind bonding with fellow geeks (nerds or whatever you want call us) but its a long way and they are making me drive ..........no takers - oh well will pack me own suitcase.....

KTjazz

just been sick...

Determination though, right guys?

this is way harder than I thought.

I'll give an update of how I got on when I come back.

Thanks again for all your support.

KT.
