Piccies!

This one is an avvy I sometimes use, it's really cute! ^^




This one is something the internet famous thr0b made for me when we were having a pretty odd conversation :S it's still funny though :D

Work!

HOWZA!

This is the low-down:

So I started work! Yay! It seems to be going well enough, very busy! I have a problem with one person who I have to care for, but the rest are pretty much okay people, you just have to take them as you find them day-to-day.

I have finished my manual handling course and also have a first aid one to go to next week! EEEP! So at least I will be fully prepared if anything should happen on my watch, hopefully not!

Me and G went to view a house in Monkmoor, it was 3 bedrooms and very nice! It needs a bit of modernising, but at £129,000 it's a steal! Sadly, we need to sort out our place first before we can zoom over to a new place, but viewing that enabled us to see what things are on the market at the moment. It's a great time to buy! We have been discussing how to go about wallpapering etc, it seems the best bet is to get all the paper and just hire someone-Gazs boss knows someone who will do it for us at a reduced price I believe (?) or something...I don't really listen to him :/ erk!
The only thing then is to repaint bits of the place and just use a carpet cleaner and make sure the place is free from clutter-I should be able to store a lot in nans garage and that should help with moving stuff around and DIY'ing!

I have been bounding around everywhere and walking a lot for work, I have lost 5lbs! I am pretty impressed with myself, I am also not eating as much because we don't really get to have a break in this line of work :( boo! Speaking of which, I had better do some lunch before I go and do a late shift, then Gaz can have some when he gets in too then :) I'm a good girl ^^

I'll be visiting Val (Gazs mum) on Saturday for the first time to help her out of bed and such like. We both agreed that we didn't mind having to have me over there and doing what was necessary as it's part of my job. Hopefully we won't feel too awkward. Gazs dad (Bob) was rubbing his hands together in glee when he saw I had to pop over and attend to Val, the bugger :D
I get on really well with all the family, well, at least I THINK I do! I have a minor problem with Jo and Bob (Gazs brother and sister in law-I know, 2 Bobs!) but that's mainly because when we go to their place I feel akward because she seems a bit...sort of...prudish? But not prudish...it's complicated! Bob (brother) is okay on his own, but I feel he restrains himself a bit when around Jo, which I don't really like I suppose as I believe you should feel comfortable in your own skin, but each to their own!

The other brother (Mike) and his wife (Donna) will be coming over soon to stay over the weekend at Bobs (brother), I think? So I shall be able to meet them, just hope all is okay! May have to avoid the wine methinks :D it's only because I get nervous, even though people say I don't seem to be-I AM! :( We don't really see my family, mums and Rae are in devon, dads a prat and nans mental! We saw Aunty Caz a little while ago and we have been invited for a BBQ, but whether that will happen or not, I don't know. I'd prefer it if I could just be 'on my own,' away from all the family as I don't really feel comfortable taking a partner around to them-mum is fine like, but not the rest really.

Gaz has been talking about going to Portugal or somewhere for a holiday. I don't really 'do' holidays. I can't fly (obviously for I have no wings!) because I am petrified of heights. I really want to get over that as I would like to go to Tokyo at some stage, but at the moment funds are non-existant! I have my first pay check this month, towards the end. I have had to work 2 weeks in advance aswell, so I'll only get 2 weeks worth-which is a bit shit to be honest, but there we go. Hopefully I can put some money back, just in case things go tits up and I need to move out for some reason. That is always at the forefront of my mind, I am quite big on the self-preservation scene!

3 months contract to get hrough before I get another year with them, that's if they still want me! :( I hope so -_-; it's hard work but I like it. The only thing that really annoys me I suppose is the fact that some of the carers that have done it for 3 years+ want me to go at the same pace/speed as them! The problem with that of course is that I am NEW and am not used to all the people I have to go to yet!! It is annoying :( I wish they could remember back to when they had just started the job and how hard it was being new.

I worked with 'Z' yesterday, she was really nice! A little younger than me I think as she looks it. We did double-up shifts, which basically means we had 'hoist' work to do and you need 2 people for that, 1 to power the hoist and the other to help with the adjusting of the sling and different things. I enjoyed it, I also met a new person and he was nice, very slow though :( my full hour session with him turned into an hour and a half nearly! He had a stroke and is getting used to walking again, but VERY slowly. I wish that people would understand it takes longer to walk and thusly I need more time with him as he doesn't want to go into the wheelchair again-I can't blame him!


WHEW! Well, I think that's about it! Anything new and I shall pop a post on here ^^

Shinny FTWinny! :D

Good news at last?

Wahey!

Well, this is what's been happening so far (nicely laid out in bullet points so mass-text doesn't damage your optic nerves):

• I applied for the job with a care company
• I got an interview
• I passed :)
  
• I got sent for a CRB-this is still ongoing, although I can do shadow work
• I got a tax refund of quite a bit to see me through until I start work
• I haven't got swine flu
• I am doing a joint blog with someone for comedy purposes
  
• I keep writing porpoises instead of purposes, it is annoying
• I think that maybe we should have Chinnyhill sectioned, it'd be kinder than letting him live on with Duran, Duran.

So hopefully all good news! YAY FOR GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT!

Woah! I forgot about you-

Mister Blog!

I am a numnuts and never write in you anymore :S my bad >.<

Today I am sat at the keyboard in my Sheepeh PJs and pondering about things pondersome. I have eaten a large bowl of cocopops to assuage my hunger, but it has done little to fill my cavernous maw :'( so I may do an Oliver Twist and have some MORE!!

I have been gardening and walking and jogging and ALL SORTS of things since I last spoke to you Mister Blog! I know you don't really care as you are just a web-based programme but I do feel like I should stop by and just tell you what's being doing on:

• Mum has cut down on her ciggys as she has COPD, she is also struggling to live because my father (*cunt*) has decided to go AWOL and not pay back-dated child maintenance and stuff-he has racked up a huge £2000.00 in money that he owes here. That is a big I.O.U
• Father dearest still owes me redundancy money and other cash, about £800.00 owed
  
• Mum and Rae are coming here to live so I am arranging a house swap with them-oooh! I feel like them lot on t'telly :)
• I have STILL not been able to find a job, regardless of what position I apply for-but then there are about 80 people going for the same bloody job around here :S
• Smokey was Spayed, no I didn't hit her over the head with a garden implement-silly! So she is now feeling 100% better and has stopped 'calling' and acting distressed.
• We have been having a 'girls night' on Mondays and it's great! Really brightens a shitty start to the week up :)
• Rae went into hospital and had an operation on her womb, hopefully she'll be okay as she needs to go back for a check-up yet to find out what the biopsy has shown.
• My knee-caps are seizing quite badly recently, regardless of the walking I am doing. 7 or so years before they should be replaced, if we are going on what Dr.Maxton said :S so there goes my mobility...hoo-fucking-rah!
• The cats are driving me MENTAL! But in a good way
• I am also promoting a 'forum' that I am on-decent people please apply ;) it's just a general place to come and have a natter about stuff and also to exchange talk on games etc. Here is the linkage for you: http://www.sotalkaboutgames.com/forum/index.php I am under the handle of 'Shin,' a joke/name some of you may know about ;) we also have 'GAME NIGHT' on TUESDAY and POKER!
  
• Alex and Allen have had a baby! Who would have thunk it?! I would never have believed Allen to have a baby, obviosul HE didn't but...oh, you know what I mean!
• I dressed up as a scurvy pirate-YARGH-for Red nose day :) it was great fun! Pics soon.
• I have had many birthdays to attend this month, it's been a stretch on the owd purse strings I can tell you!
• Gaz got a raise *fnarr!* NOT that kind, you filthy things ;)
• I have been mainly drunk

IN OTHER NEWS-MY HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK ARE:

Poor David Jason, who we used to love as Del Boy and also Frost has been labelled as a 'racist,'
He told an "off colour" joke on Absolute
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7965058.stm


Sorry, don't find that offensive-plenty of Englishman and Irishman jokes like that normally around Guiness or stuff like that and playing on names. Really annoys me all that 'ZOMG RACIST' shit-remember kids, you are only racist if you are white *rolls eyes* whatever.

____________________________________________________________________

I have also recently been reading about 'war dogs' and 'war horses' and it has made me all teary-eyed (this is going somewhere, I promise) and they put the names of the dogs up on the memorial stone and they had one called 'Nig,' now remember this is YEARS ago and people are moaning recently about it-uhhh, it's his NAME and they weren't going to not include him on the rememberance thing because of that so shut up! People go sooo PC at things and it really isn't needed half of the time, it's just stupid.

More info about what I have been reading/learning:

I was inspired by looking at LOLdogs and I was reading some of the comments on http://ihasahotdog.com/2009/03/10/funny-dog-pictures-vet-honored picture as I wanted to know more about it. I then learnt about the 'Battle of Guam' and the dogs that were used to help search for mines and enemies and such like.

There's a lot of stupid comments and daft arguements, but I was just reading all the info being posted about it all and what happened in that war. It's really nice that the memorial was made for the dogs that died in 'service' aswell and not just the humans that were out there.

I also came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoky_(dog) (c. 1943 – 21 February 1957), a Yorkshire Terrier, who was a famous war dog who served in World War II. She weighed only four pounds and stood seven inches tall. Smoky is credited with beginning a renewal of interest in the once obscure Yorkshire Terrier breed.

I am a massive gayer and was quite soppy reading all of this

It just hits home how clever animals really are.

Nice the parents found it amusing :)

Job Centre + PLUS THE CHAVVY SCUM!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

MAJOR LONG BLOG THING THAT MAY OFFEND SOME PEOPLE-ish

********************************************************

I HATE THE JOB CENTRE! Jesus H Christ!

I get there, go to the wrong floor as some wanky twat decides to say 'Oi, its this one ere luv' but no...no it isn't, is it?! You freaking moron! So I go to the RIGHT floor and have to wait ages, sat next to chavs. They are all wearing trackie bottoms, chewing gum, sniffling and have scruffy,unwashed hair with at least 5 different colours of shit in it and the BO smell. Jesus, it made my eyes water! I am NOT being over dramatic here, it was that frigging bad! I mean who the fuck would employ them looking and acting like that? Not even a Mcjob would I tell you.

So then this guy sat next to me makes quite a funny comment and I chuckle, BIG mistake. He then turns to face me and grins-he has a GOLD tooth, a GOLD tooth ('Richard' ) I have never ever seen anyone with a gold tooth other than some celeb! So anyway, he then says 'This your first time signing on?' I nodded and he said, 'I have a job like, I'm just here for support for my mate' and I think thats an odd thing to say-he's at a Job Centre, not the olympics.

So I share some information with him-to pass the time as I am a friendly little bod, 'Oh, I have been out of work since November-the company I worked for went into admini-...uh....they went bump.' Then this random child runs past screaming and throwing things around the Job Centre, the mother is trying her hardest to get the little shit to behave. 'Gods...' I say and the guy (I shall call him Mac) says 'Yeah I know, I hate kids,' I smile somewhat nervously and then Mac says, 'I'm lucky, I don't have to see mine except for weekends-wish I didn't have them' !!ERROR!! So my face looks like I've swallowed piss now as I find this a fucking awful thing to say-my own father had no time for us and was too busy shagging and drinking to see us at the weekened. So Mac has lost brownie points with the bank of Shin, I turn my head away as to end the 'conversation' and Mac says 'So what you doing tonight? Wanna go for a drink?' I sort of looked...ill and replied 'I am actually going to a play tonight*' and he looked at me like I was an alien !

Thankfully before he could reply I was called up and I went and spoke with an advisor. In short I don't have any money because some cunty bollock of an admin hasn't processed it yet. So I use the phones there and dial the main office and ask 'whats going on?' basically. They say MAYBE Wednesday I'll have money-yeah, fucking fantabbytastic! In the meantime I'll just sit and get even fatter and more depressed than ever you bastards!!

I AM NOT LEAVING THE HOUSE EVER AGAIN! People outside are weird! >.<

It really is the arsehole of the universe at the Job Centre, and by Christ if the weather was warmer I'd be working the streets so I didn't have to go back to that cesspit.

*TRUFAX! I am going to a play with Gaz tonight, it's a thing with his work...God I hope it wasn't like the last one, I wanted to eat my own hand. I can be called 'uncultured' I don't care, the acting was awful and they murdered 'A Midsummers Night Dream'

********************************************************


Okay so now my brain is ready to watch this play, I need to find my daned glasses. I have like an hour and a half to get ready...I *KNOW* I'll be late, I just KNOW it! I always am, even if I wake up fucking hours before-hand

I WAS LATE BEING BORN aswell for Gods sake! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

RAWR :P

Rambly Rambles from the past! BELATED BIRTHDAY POST

Good afternoon bloggy blog!!

I am in a relatively good mood today so you'll not be ranted into today ^.^* makes a nice change, huh?

I have been playing World of Warcraft quite a lot-which I am LOVING! Also I have been on the internet hunting for jobbage and filling in my little diary for the Job Centre-I feel 12 :(

So whats been happening in the world of Kat you ask? Well you don't really ask, but I'll tell you anyway!

Saturday: Me and the fella went over to a friends house and met up with some other friends (I have more than 1, yes) we proceeded to Birmingham and had a few drinks, had lunch at Wagamama's (nom nom nommy noms...nom!) I drank a few more glasses of wine (churs!) and then we tootled off to catch the train back to Andrews (where we were staying over le weekend) the train was delayed/dead and we came back in a taxi instead-I was very warm squishied next to Gaz and Tanya :) Mmmm.

I got a few hours sleep as the sofa was very short-then I slept on the floor... :D

Sunday: I had a bit of a headache. I cooked Sunday dinner for everyone, yaaay! We mooched around a bit and then went home :) I didn't go to the Sunday quiz as I was uber tired and I flaked out at home whilst Gaz went to save our team :)

Monday: MY BIRTHDAY! I am now 23 years young! I didn't do much in the day as I had nothing to do :( but later on after opening my presents and stuffs I went over to my friend Ree's and we had a mini get together there with several mutual friends. We ended up talking about duck cocks, animal sex, porn, me being shit at Wii bowlig, me being ace at Wii tennis, cats, how men think girls just talk about periods and weddings* when they are away etc I got drunk we watched Hot Fuzz (the comedy, not the porn-heh) and then I helped Ree clear up and I went home

So thats you all pretty much caught up on Kats ramblings for the week! I am currently doing my diary for the Job Centre-oh, I've already said that...well...I'll say it again >:P

TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR MORE SHIT THAT NOONE WILL PROBABLY READ! :D!!

*I hate people talking about weddings, their weddings, anyone's weddings and anything to do with weddings. It's ONE day, get over it for Christ sake, noone really gives two shits so shuddap. Aso chick flicks and shit like that, don't pretend it'll happen girls-it doesn't. Although I do read Mills and Boon...but only the bits with sex in! >:D Mwahaha

Birthday woes

Hello blog, I haven't posted on you in a while and every time I do I seem to be moaning about something or other-still, sod it, eh?

Today I feel worse than I have done for ages. I have the most awful abdominal cramps, leg cramps, headache-you name it, I've probably go it (not leprosy though-ick) I have cried pretty much all day as I am immensely fed up and have felt crappy for a few days, just today happens to be the culmination of it all.

I try so hard to be a good person to people but sometimes you just want to scream! I am fed up of being the doormat in life and I just want a break.

I wish I could have my mum nearby as I'd love to go and see her and just have a hug (am very upset writing this) I miss my cats more than should be allowed-I have a terrible feeling of longing and it makes me so sad I can't breathe. I am fed up with my birthdays all going to shit, I am fed up of my father not seeing me, I am fed up of my bitch of a sister being the most selfish person God put under the sun. I cannot believe shes fucking off for 6 months and leaving our poor mother alone, struggling with COPD! I cannot believe a person could be that awful.

I may move back, I have to help her, it will also give me the purpose in life I feel I've been missing for quite a long time now.

I still have no job, I am waiting on the recruitment agency to come up trumps and also I have to go to the Job Centre, I've been out of work since 28 November and have had no money since then, at all. It's also amazing who is your real friends are in times like this. I have lent so much money out in the past few years to people, paid for them to come out and stuff and I have never once asked for it back or the favour to be returned, yet people are very quick to do it to me-the bastards is all I have to say, what utter bastards.

I give up on people, there isn't a decent soul amongst any of you.
