For some strange reason,I thought I was ready for a pup but I'm so not.Growing up,I hated cutting the grass of our backyards with a passion...it seems that Frank however derives therapeutic values from it!It's sunny out but the air is chilly.After spending the whole day in boxers yesterday,I officially have a fever now.

Cheers malcs, the party was... alright hehe. But I did have a lovely weekend with him. We saw Prom Night at the cinema on Sat (it's a bit on the jumpy side!) followed by an amaaaaaaazing kiss (too right 'n' all after going a whole week without one!) and then yesterday evening we went for a really long walk along the sea front as it was a gooooorgeous day.
How was your weekend dude? Hope work wasn't tooooo bad!

Haha I've never mystery shopped before... so I'm a bit apprehensive. I don't have the best of memories and there's loads I gotta do like remember time entered store, time joined queue, how many were in front, when did i get served, did they upsell a product to me, how many highchairs could i see, was my table clean, etc etc, too many questions argh! Luckilly I only gotta fork out £3 max i think... it says you have to buy a panini but i'm really fussy so i might have to take some chewing gum and just stomach it. I'll eat half and pretend I didn't like it or somethin.

72 hours yikes?! I've just done weds,thurs,fri,sat,sun,mon. Got tomorrow off woo hoo. But I've got a bank meeting tomorrow to change to Nat West (yep, as the pet shop boys once sang, i'm going west!). Then I've got a mystery shopping assignment at Asdas cafe lol (wooo - my first one so im quite nervous!) and then going shopping. If I have enough money I might buy my guy a bottle of aftershave he wants as a prezzie, shall have to wait and see how the bank meeting goes hehe.
As for the motorbike thing, yikes! I'd never get on one of them things, waaay too dangerous for my liking. So not that I'm wanting to jinx you or anything, but what if you were to fail the theory?? Would that mean you'd jeapardise your training course? or can you postpone to course or redo the test that week? Goooood luck with it all, mate. Then you can add a bike to your collection of motors hehe.
I just noticed ur from Hampshire! Where bouts? I am being hounded by some highways agency from hampshire county council with regards to the fixing of the safety barrier I damaged at Newbury on the M4 in BERKSHIRE lol. Not sure why someone from Hampshire is involved... but yes... I'm having to settle via insurance claim *sigh*

Sounds similar to the Starbucks I had to do. I would do 15 - 20 in one day and go three days straight. I also had to check the toilets, ask a stupid question, sex & description of person waiting on me, temp & weight of drink... It was really a lot of info. I made these tiny cheat cheat papers and wrote down the info as I went. I really didnt care if anyone saw. I also have a terrible memory and the first few made me very nervous also.
It is no big deal and they wont kill you if you get anything wrong - hell they wont know if you get anything wrong. Good luck. Hope it goes well.
Yeah, Dan I kinda like the physicality of mowing the grass but NOT in this kind of heat and with stupid machines. I dont really like motorized machines that much. They actually make me a little nervous. Maybe in a past life some kind of bad accident happened.
Today got the beast working and finished one lawn. Stopped the mower, filled with gas, started mower and started second lawn. Five mins later the thing just stopped! I must have pulled that damn starter rope a hundred times with NO luck. I got worn out with all that pulling and frustration but I had to finish the second job. Got out an old push mower and it was so much work. So horribly hot again. I think I got a bit of heat exhaustion and I have to do it all over tomorrow :eek:

lol 72hrs yeah 6 12hr shifts, although sometimes the shifts can overrun upto 13hrs.
Well I PASSED the theory test and ive already done a CBT so now all thats left to do is learn now to ride a 500cc and do the pratical test next month! Bigest bike ive ever ridden was a 125cc on my CBT lol Im Not planning to buy a bike this year, but want to get the test done before the test becomes harder in October
Yup im just on the Hampshire Surry border about 15 mins drive from Guildford. Its Funny how perople from diffrent places look after diffrent roads. Round here there is a duel carrage way that Surry look after northbound and Hampshire southbound!
One of My friends from 'The Other' Brakedown company rolled his van and knocked over a teligraph post. It was an insurace claim. Post £97 Labour to Fit £5900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch, 15-20, not nice. Well this has 2 pages worth of questions! Like what stores were either side and one of the questions is regarding POS and a trail telling you where the cafe is etc. - but there wasn't one... so they've failed that lol. There were no promo posters up, and the person didn't try to upsell me a cake even though I was eyeing them up pretty much saying "ask me if i want one" - i mean you're not allowed to buy one if they ask but surely if you see someone looking and they're tempted, you wanna make em buy it by making them feel they have to, right??
Oh well! But yeah, the food was nice, it was tidy, the staff were generally smart and polite, so I think they did OK apart from internal signage and upselling really!

OMG!!! that's RIDICULOUS! Mine is £2,600 to fit a safety barrier... not being funny but I told them I drove past it the next day when going to collect belongings and there was no damage. They tried to say maybe it had been replaced overnight are you seeing the problem I have believing that one???
Ah guildford, have heard of but never been there. I have a friend from Winchester which is in hampshire I think.... right? *shrugs* my geography is crappy heh.
Ah congrats for passing your theory test :biggrin: good luck with your practical next week!!!!
I gotta say I'm feeling a bit lost and bored. Missing Ian like crazy, can't wait to see him later so much. I think the more I think about having to work friday,sat,sunday night shifts so ill only see him for a bit in the day, the more and more i'm missing him already! I do need to go book a table at a chinese for my bday and I need to go post off a letter, but I'll do that in a while. I'm tempted to have a nap, as I woke up at 5am. I had a dream yesterday that Ian dumped me for some reason and it was horrible and then I dreamt last night that I was texting him and he wasn't replying and the waiting was killing me. And then I woke up at 5am and it was light and I couldn't get back to sleep. Fell asleep at 6ish in the end and then woke up at 7.40. So I text Ian to say morning and he usually replies by 8... but when it was 8.15 and he hadn't replied I was thinking the dream had come true!!! But then I got one bout 8.30 saying he was leavin for work and had gotten up late etc. wished me luck with the mystery shop and that he loves me loads. I think I just worry too much

thats a mad amount of money for a bit of armco ask for some kind of prove it was replaced, if it was there must be parperwork stating who did the work and when.
Winchester yup that aint 2 far, basicly there is a road A31 that goes from guildford all the way to winchester in about 5 mins from the A31. I would imagen to go to winchester you would come off the M25 A3 then A31.
Ive been out in my Scimitar driving with the hood down bering the right little tart! I love convertables on days like today theres nothing can beat it, even if you start to melt when stoped at lights with the sun hitting you ad no shade lol.
AND OMG where have all the topless fit blokes come from today :eek: :eek: Talk about eye candy

Oooh get me and my geography apparently not being so crap after all hehe! Hmmm I'm not very sure hehe, I don't particularly know my roads very well... just ask Ian haha, he has to direct me all the time. Although I did get stressed once saying I wish I didn't have to keep bugging him where to go and he said "i think it's cute, it's who you are, don't ever change" which i thought was reeeeeeally sweet!
Oooh nice one, I had windows down on my fiesta going to the mystery shop earlier but I started feeling bit of drag so had to do em up most of the way again! doh!

Well thats the end of a very good chilled out day,
Passed Motorbike theory thismorning - hard part the pratical next month
Went for a drive hood down in my car, had a spot of lunch, chatted to smurls on msn in the afternoon, went to my mum and dads washed my car then back here this evening and just watched Shaun of the dead! 1st time Ive ever seen it made me chuckle even if it was pretty lame!
So all in all a pretty cool chilled day
