Sorry to hear about that, Sigrid. We have different pictured on coins over here sometimes, the Royal Mint often makes a collectors version (that you can normally buy for 3 times the sum of the actual coins in the back of the TV Times)

I went out last night in the end, About an hour after i posted that message i got a phone call asking if i was gonna come out, and someone would lend me money.

Although it may seem like i don't i actually love my mates to pieces, and probably would be who i am today if it wasn't for them.

Anyway, I went out, got stupidly drunk (Turboshandy's... - Good for this.) and got in at 4am.

Head - Hurting.

It was supposed to be sunny today and dry but while I was on my way back from the supermarket, it started raining and it is still raining. I did my washing because I thought it wasn't going to rain. 2 of my housemates have also done washing today so our house is a museum of wet washing with exhibits everywhere. Oh and my radiator doesn't work.

Lucinda, no it wasn't at a club, it was at Jubilee's Heaven&Hell party. I haven't got it back, but I expected that. And I was very lucky 'cause my debit card wasn't in it as I was using it earlier, and my student card wasn't there either as I had it in my other bag :)

Sigrid, that must have been upsetting. It's sad when people don't understand how much something means to you.

Viv, I'd LOVE to have a cleaner right now. My flat is a mess, I'm too cold to move, and I can't get my boyfriend to clean it for me as he's gone to college.

Living in the library :S I'm considering keeping my sleeping bag there.

Also, total lack of social life after Freshers'. And lack of money.

That's quite early on in the year to be moved in. Make sure you get a good desk before the exam session starts because they're like golddust once exams start. I've only been to the library once and I'm in 3rd year. The library is at least very warm, even when it's snowing outside, it's all shorts and flip-flops inside.

I don't know where to start with my dissertation.

I got an email from a secretary in the department on Tuesday telling me one of my modules starts on 9th October, so from that I assumed there'd be no lecture today. Just got an email though saying "why did only 11 people come to the first lecture?". I know it's not my fault.... stupid mixed up messages.

I know it's early, but we have soooo much reading to do. And I ordered all my books off Amazon and they still haven't come so the library is currently my best friend.

So do you just grab a desk and leave your stuff there until the end of exams so no one can steal it?

By the way, you were right - I got an e-mail today saying they found my purse :)

I've practically been laid off today :( They basically told me as I'm not working my contracted hours they would be 're-advertised and any overtime would be given to new workers'. So in effect, they don't like that I can't work the nights because of university and won't give me weekend work.

Just what I need when I have no money :(

I'm being driven to the point of insanity (I'm pretty insane anyway but this is the bad kind), I can't stop thinking about this guy. I barely know him, he's older and lives 200 miles away (no, it's not one of those internet friendships), one part of me wants to be with him so bad but the other part thinks I should get over it coz I know I'm going to get turned down again.

Sorry to bore you guys with my problems but my head is a mess :(.

Further to yesterday's rant things have got worse.

I am now working just a Friday night (four nights a month) and because of joint pains this month I have to pay them back those four nights. So as a result I will be working for NOTHING this month and I need to pay £120 a month on travel.

My mum saw the boss and complained and they tried to fob me off with nights that are no use to me as I won't be home till late. They have said I cannot do a Saturday night as it is not going, they did say that there was a Sunday shift going on the tills though.

My sister went in to say she'd take that shift and give up her Saturday shift (keep with me on this!) and that I would then be able to take her Saturday shift. The boss' face dropped and then asked if my sister would work Saturday nights as he needs staff then.

So basically he's just got a grudge against me and won't give me a Saturday shift.

But none of those changes can happen until November so I am stuck with no work for the month unless I can find somewhere else to go.

That sounds a bit crap and unfair Jono. Good luck finding a better job.

I went to a course friend's birthday thing last night in town but I'd also been invited by a school friend to his birthday thing elsewhere in town. After about an hour at the first place, I walked across town to the other bar. I met a guy I knew from school outside and we had a chat. Then we went into the bar and I chatted to some more people from school. It just made me feel rubbish though because most of them ignored me and acted like I was invisible. They were the ones who thought I wasn't 'cool enough' at school. Beyond the 'so what uni are you are/course are you doing?' most of them had nothing more to say to me. They hadn't spoken to me in the intervening 2 years and even the ones I was good friends with at school had no reason for it.

Anyway I was a little drunk and after an hour I got fed up and walked out and went back to the original party, where my real friends were and had a really good night.

That sucks, sounds like you should look for something else. A lot of the supermarkets and shopping centres round here are recruiting extra staff for Christmas so this might be a good time to look for something else.

Try living where I live - the supermarket is the only livelihood here. Unless you fancy an art gallery or antiques shop!

The good news is that since kicking up a fuss they've managed to "find" a shift on a Saturday night.

I got moved onto Divided Red (a different subsection of my department) so I have to relearn all the stock, and I got till trained today. There's going to be some proper cock-ups going on now. :|

I can guarantee you that you'll hate the till by the end of the month :P

Vodafone. They promised to move down the phone contract belonging to my uncle who is in prison, but then didn't. So we had a £70 bill for this month. I rang explaining we'd been told it would move down to £20 and the woman got shirty and told us we'd have to move down £5 at a time. She told me to take the letter to a Vodafone shop instead.

I rang back three times and got the same woman. In the end I demanded to speak to a manager and she asked why, and I explained the situation. She then looked through the letters sent out by Vodafone and realised her mistake. She apologised saying the advisor hadn't left a note on the account. In the end, thankfully, we were debited the £50 on this month's bill and she moved it down.

It's amazing how polite these people become when you want to make a complaint. What a stressful half an hour though.

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Ash101 · Posted

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.

      So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
