Hiya Jen (eta: and Maria!)

just got back from my holiday this morning (5 hour flight was a nightmare, i am a scaredy cat)... i didn't want to come home! the weather here is soooooo cold in comparison but never mind!!

so yeah... not been up to very much tbh apart from that. will definitely stick around now the summer hols are over, i don't have much to do

Aww no, that doesn't sound good. are you looking for something else then or gonna stick it out and see if things get better?

& thanks I'm looking at apprenticeships now but the pay is soooo rubbish, like £95 a week I dunno whether to apply for them just to get the experience for a while, or keep studying and try for something better.

i dunno what to do jobs are hard to get at the moment so i think i will have to stick with it!!

Yeah, it's rubbish at the moment isn't it. My friend went to an interview for a really low paid job and said there were 700+ graduates (!) applying for the 13 positions. Just shows how bad things are at the moment

Hope it improves for you anyway.

Maria - sorry to hear about your dentist troubles, they should sort it for you though. Dunno if I moaned on here about my dentist fear, but a week ago my filling fell out (massive one) and I HAD to go to the emergency dentist as it was v painful... anyway I go back tomorrow for a proper check up & my teeth are in such a state. I'm panicking already :rolleyes: But guess if my filling hadn't fallen out, I would still be sat here worrying about my teeth rotting...

jenjade

well done on going to the dentist CL i remember you were not keen! Quite a few people on this thread hate the dentist!!

I recon apprenticeships might be a good idea for you as you were suffering with your confidence etc and it would really do you good and get experiance.

Hellooooooo CL :-) well done on going to the dentist...i've got to go next month urgghh.
That sucks about your course Jen, hope you do get to do it.
Hope they sort your tooth out Maria..the amount they charge they should really get it right first time!
Off to work today...oh great! thank **** its friday!

Morning!

I'm off to the dentist at 10am... preparing myself for a good telling off, as I haven't been for two years (apart from the emergency appointment last week) :S eeeek!! My stomach is in knots, but thinking positive... it'll all be over in less than 90 mins.

Hope you all have a stress-free day at work (is that possible? hehe) xx

jenjade

Right ok guys

I have heard back from funding and i can get funding!! Woop Woop!!:j:j
BUT-- Work can not release me and my work collegue because she is full time and i am part time they have decided she can do it and i can't!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

needles to say and i not impressed really angry cross and upset!

My manager could see how annoyed and upset i was. (she knew i would be) so she has thrown me a sort of life line?

There are hours avalible and the nursery which is attached to my work and if i want them she is sure i can have them! So i could work an extra 9 hours+ a week.... umm that could be the answer to my problems for the morgage problem!

At the moment i am to upset to think or work anything out

I feel like a door slammed really hard in my face and another one unlocked!!

Now what??????:o
