hey all sorry i disappeared ...had this essay to do...this one took so much out of me...took me over 90 hours of constant writting ripping etc to get it done ...i went from the thuesday to the friday night with only 5 hours sleep ...so spent the weekend sleeping to catch up ...then i started my placement on monday ...boy was that a shock to the system

yesterday i spent the day shovelling tonnes of sand and type one into the earth ship i am working on ...i was sore shattered and frozen but wht an enormous sense of achievement i felt ...it realy hit me that this is the type of work i want to do ...i dont want to be just sitting at a table pushing a pen i want to be doing the whole shebang...

still to read my p.ms but will do just shortly

oh and good news i have closed one of my overdrafts paid £500 off got it from my travelling expenses ...also managed to pay some towards my £1000 overdraft ...but have had to up my other one a tad cause we have had to pay for loads of diesel (extra travelling) car bits ...lunches (have had a few friends that have been going through things so i treated them) oh depeche mode gig (wow) essay writting (yes i landed up spending money on books etc one was over £30) and general wasting money ...this will be changing again it was over xmas and the new year with all the cold etc but were getting back to normal now (finally) ...right off to read my pms then get ready to go for lunch again ...friend treating me this time she said she was grateful for all my help so wanted to treat me ...nice

Glad you have found something you want to do - having a real goal will help inspire you no end.

Enjoy lunch with your friend, and I hope the aches and pains subside soon!

hypno i actually felt as if i had achieved something ...it gave me ...ohh i dont know what the word is ...but it gave me this feeling of being alive again ...i havnt been able to excercise due to the car accident ...i had to give everything up ...my rock climbing, my badminton , my ju-jit-su, and i was working in a sedentary job (still working there) this was like wow ...alot of pain ... but a good pain... my shoulder is really hurting but it did help me realise i need excercise i have always known i love it ...but i usually dont have time etc to do anything ....now i know i need it ...so i think i am just going to have to find the time ...dont know how that will be achieved yet ...but i know i have to

El, that sounds great! I'm really glad for you that you've found something so positive, in all senses - for you,and for the planet.

yep karma thats the wonderful thing ...building a building from tyres for a community to use ...wow ...that to me is real community work ...yes youth work etc are very important and needed ...but i dont want to work with any particular section of the community ...i want to work with the whole of the community ...to get them to pull together for themselves ...and sustainably and ecologically as well ...well then i am a happy bunny ..tired , sore ,in pain , but i am happy ...

i know its something you are passionate about as well ... it feels great to share your passion

Absolutely! An Earthship, wonderful. And for us to learn to steward the planet properly is very important to me, absolutely. Did you see BBC news this morning? A family of 3, who do supermarket shopping and buy glass jars from supermarkets (i.e. not out on the wildest fringe) they only send one bin a *year* to landfill - everything else they reuse or recycle. Amazing stuff, I wish I could get it down to that. Maybe in a couple of years.

You go girl!
