Glad it wasn't just me bawling my eyes out!
Also, on the news this morning it said that ten years ago some chap placed a bet that Federer would win 7 wimbledon finals. The chap died in 2009 and left the betting slip to Oxfam, who have just netted 100 grand.

Aw man. This should have been immediately obvious, but I honestly did not think I would be carded for cooking wine. I guess I'm not making fettuccine tomorrow!

The job that I'm working this week has Chiller TV and fortunately for me, not only do they play Buffy at 4-5am, but they're having a little marathon today of Buffy from 8am-4pm. I know what I'm doing!

I have a meeting today with the boss and her daughter. They are disappointed that the numbers are down. What I hope that means is they are ready to fire me.

Ugh.

I cannot keep my eyes open. I'm utterly exhausted from the last several weeks/weekends of non-stop stuff to do. I desperately need the cottage this weekend - along with sweatpants, comfy shoes and a good book. Thankfully, that is the plan...aaahaahhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait

I'm waiting to give blood & I'm really forking nervous! My hands are insanely sweaty!

You'll be okay! I always get super nervous too. Is this your first time giving blood?

Just be thankful that you can.

But yeah... it's a strange feeling seeing your blood in a place that isn't you.

It was my first time & it was actually totally fine! The guy who tested my iron levels was vegan too!

Good job, jojo! I wish I could give blood, but I've had a series of abnormal paps, so they won't let me.

As suspected, the interview I went on was dodgy. I almost worried for my safety - it was after hours, they were on the 6th floor, and they'd just moved in so the place looked like they might not actually belong there. I think they farmed my CV from the jobs website, because they weren't even hiring for my line. The guy asked if I would be willing to work in sales, and I said, absolutely not. I should've known when they wouldn't send me a job description. Oh well. I'll just keep applying for more stuff that might actually be legit.

This is the first time I've ever been able to give blood. Before they've said no because of abnormal pap's, getting tattooed, working as a piercer & travel!

I'm a bit worried about Fujimoto. He's a tiny wee piggie, half the size of his friends and has been used as a humping receptacle of late. I'm worried he's getting bullied and seems to have lost some weight, but I don't have a record of his weight from a month ago so can't tell. He's sitting next to me eating julienne carrot, cucumber and apple and is devouring a a wee spot of Critical Care.

I'm going to get his teeth checked this week. If it's not that we may have to think about him living away from Godkin and Brucie-bean.

My waffle maker came a day early and within 10 minutes of taking it out of the box, I'd already made the cornmeal waffles from Vegan Brunch. Holy shiitake they were delicious! I was talking/thinking/dreaming of waffles all weekend and was not disappointed! I even got the hubby to eat them when he is more of a pancake person.

Oh, and I was offered a job at the dialysis clinic where I interviewed! HAPPY MONDAY!!! Weeee!



PS I was wondering if the boards automatically turn swears into funny words like "fork" and "asparagus." This is my test of that. Soooooooooo if the swear actually shows up, please don't be offended. I'm new and don't know any better?

ETA: The mystery is solved. I can swear like a forking sailor and offend no one because PPK is awesome!

Oh, that does sound dodgy. There's something about shady sales companies that creep me out. I spent three weeks working for a similarly shady company, organising pharma conferences in Africa and was fired/quit after debt collectors turned up and revealed that the boss/owner was operating under a false name and evading tax. After they left, the boss/owner sent round an email telling everybody what his new pseudonym would be. He was a huge dirtbag. And they never paid me!

Hooray for you! My package definitely isn't a waffle maker, it's from my cousin and it kind of feels like it might be a stuffed toy. I'm sure it wouldn't be though, as she isn't that kind of person. I'm going to wait until my actual birthday to find out!

I had a great evening, got together friends and co-workers for a music quiz and we came fourth, out of 15 teams, which meant we got a (very modest) cash prize. I'm determined to do even better next week!

I turned 25 today and I feel pretty awful. Like not just about my birthday but life in general.

:(((((((((((((((( but, hug.

Sudafed+trying to sleep=my brain deciding at 3 am to get 'it's getting hot in here' and 'I am a man of constant sorrow' stuck in my head at the same time.

Ok, coffee date/first meet with a uni lecturer, should I go this t-shirt http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/tops ... _244519441 with a long sleeved navy top underneath & good asparagus geans or black shirt, tailored pinstripe grey waist jacket & good asparagus jeans?

Tee and good asparagus jeans!

Go Fezza!

I just made the Broccoli pasta from AFR. I'm convinced that I pretty much ate my weight in garlic.

Adding four kinds of pepper to my soup may not have been wise. Also, my "low-calorie" soup is actually nearly 600 calories. It does have 57g of protein in, though, and I did go to the gym earlier.

I still have a few calories to play with. I'm allotting about 200 of them to beer, and supper tonight will be fairly minimal. I'm aiming for about 1500 over the whole day, so that's a 300 calorie supper. Beans on toast it is.

This soup is so tupping spicey...

That is one awesome disco chick, paloma.

Thanks LW! The t-shirt had went bally on it's first wash, so I've gone with shirt/waistcoat/good asparagus jeans. Toned down the masculine look with sexy earrings & bangle (many dates have commented on both).

Mango-strawberry-mint preserves. In plain soy jogurt.

I just needed to say this.
