Lucinda 10 Report post Posted July 9, 2011 Wow congratulations Emma and Bumbly! That's awesome news for both of you This makes me feel old because Emma I remember when you were still at school, and Bumbly first met the geek. I've not been around so much lately though. I can't believe it's 5 years since I left school actually, shortly after I joined this forum.What rocks for me is that after 18 months of not working, I'm finally back in work. I am just doing temporary data entry type stuff, but it suits me. After my last disastrous office job, I became convinced I'd never be any good for anything, so actually going to work and surviving the day feels like a massive achievement.

Emma 10 Report post Posted July 13, 2011 Many congratulations to both Bumbly and Ems. What lovely news. Thankyou, it feels so weird now knowing I'm not going back, arrgh!Fantastic news!! Are you keeping to your word of having the cats as ring bearers?!Congrats Emma, hope you are out celebrating tonight?!Thankyou! I still haven't properly properly celebrated as we were all at home for results day, how rubbish was that? Shall be doing it sometime soon, though After a very difficult and very dark few weeks for me which has seen my state of mind go to hell and back on many occasions (would take a very long time to explain why on this thread, may blog about it at a later date) I'm finally starting to feel a bit more like my old self again. It's still very early days and it'll probably be a good few weeks or even months before I'm completely back to normal. But even the most minor of achievements are still achievements at the end of the day... so at the very least I can take some comfort from that. Congratulations on your 2:1 Emma, I always knew you'd come out with a great mark Hope final year wasn't too unbearable for you. And congratulations Bumble on your engagement, all the best to you and the Geek for the future.Aww thankyou, I hope you're feeling a lot better, now?Wow congratulations Emma and Bumbly!

I know, time flies, doesn't it?! Congrats on getting back into work - all the more rewarding when you look at it as an achievement! Quote Alouette...deployer les ailes; Alouette...plumerai les ailes.

TheEpicPlum 10 Report post Posted July 17, 2011 I'm going to stay in a tent somewhere next week and a barn in Cornwall in about three or four weeks. Err… yay? But I'm going to Butlins in September (for the millionth time)! Yay for The Sun holidays!!I'm also happy because I felt clever yesterday. I spent loads of time writing a film review and then I got a level 8 for it and me evil English teacher said that a level 8 should mean I'm aiming for an A* at GCSE! Shame I'm just average in everything else - thinking of spending a bit of time this summer doing sone revision and stuff. But most of all, I'm happy because I got WILL YOUNG TICKETS yesterday! It's at the BIC in October. £70 for two was a bit expensive, but I'm hoping it'll be worth it. I might give my spare ticket to one of my friends for free, even though they don't really like him. Or I could surprise my mum? I was thinking of buying her his new album in August anyway (but I'd put it on my iPod first). I don't know if she even likes him though. WOULD THAT BE REALLY S A D!? Wait, it's pretty sad that I'm going to see him anyway… If I took my mum, I suppose I could just pretend I'm only going for her… *Random thought process* Quote OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit.

Viv 14 Report post Posted July 21, 2011 Had a smashing afternoon out. Wish it had been a bit longer tho'. Slightly rushed. Got a pretty lilac top, went for a swim, and met up with someone I once went to college with for hot choc. :-0 Quote Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !! http://youtu.be/59dZzXLPRg0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucinda 10 Report post Posted July 23, 2011 I saw Coldplay last night, it was awesome. I only found out I'd won the tickets on Tuesday so had a struggle to find someone to go with me. My ex went with me and I told him that I was moving on and he couldn't mess me around any more, so I'm glad that's sorted, I feel better for sorting it out. I have been working so I have some money and the people I worked with weren't bastards like in my last job. Life almost seems like it might be going ok for once...

MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Report post Posted July 25, 2011 This weekend should have been a Rocks but ended up as a Sucks overall. I have just done a little live podcasting (first time ever, total newbie on a panel-based thing) though which was a nice distraction for an hour or so.

MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Report post Posted July 26, 2011 I'll put up a link if it gets posted, but it was about F1. It was just a pilot though so not sure if the main presenter will be posting it yet.
