Fed up of emailing Support

Woolworths truely shutI do apologise for the lack of updates on this blog but all the effort outta college at the moment is spent on emailing Dell about my laptop battery being dead. I managed to kill it by leaving my laptop on standby over the holiday break and it drained the battery completely. Somehow because of that doesn’t retrain charge any more. Luckily its under warranty as I got it last November but Dell isn’t that keen on sorting the problem out. I need to call them up really but I have to fit it in somehow.

Meanwhile when I was walking though town the day aftter Woolworths closed in my town, I peeked though the window to see the staff was clearing all the shelfs and signs away. I took acouple of photographs but I felt bad as their all lost a job so didn’t hang about too long. I’m unsure if anything will be moving in to there too soon though as the town is rather dead anyhow in terms of shops.

Mmm. Sky.

Sky of glory

Have you got brains? Only one.. But have you got news?

I have to rant about The Hearld which one of my local newspapers which has a website with a RSS feed that is used in my Firefox toolbar. Quite recently the website has got filled with articles which is advertising certain events. Whilst this it fine in moderation, it would seem that this has taken over the website replacing most of the news which I would rather be reading. I wish they would just stick all the events on a new events page and stop cluttering the RSS feed with the junk. They don’t even label with something such as ‘Event:’in the feed title so I can avoid reading it.

GCSE Results *yay*

Recently I went to collect my GCSEs result from the school. I didn’t really hype myself up about it or thought about what grades I would be getting beforehand as I just thought it would be a dissapointment for myself if I failed my dreams.

It turned out I did quite well with 2 C’s, 2 D’s and the rest was E’s and F’s. I’m not that brothered about that happening as I only wanted to do English, Maths, Tech and Science in the first place. I think I would of done much better if I just did that. I managed to stay in mainstream education even though they wanted to take me out of it!

One thing which is a pain in the bum is that I got a D again after retaking the English. Life would of been lazier at collage if I got a C.. Dammit. Oh well.. I will just think of it of a great way of bonding more with the people in the group I be meeting in a fortnight time.

I had a great night at the local Hungry Horse.. that was good fun.

Jack the screaming hamster

Jack the sleeping screaming hamsterOn Wednesday,  Laura (my sister) got me a new hamster probably as she was missing her hamster and wanted a hamster at both places. This hamster is the youngest the one I ever had and I think its like 16 months old by looking at its teeth and by how it screams when it’s upset.

I was only at Pets at Home as I was hanging at Jane’s and we had a trip in her Mini to go to this reptile store that is near my house. She had a long chat with this women in the store to get some advice and then she brought £90 worth of goodies for her turtle. Afterwards buying the things, the women recommended something that they don’t sell but is sold in Pets at Home. Hence looking at hamsters and falling in love with new named Jack.

I was well worried about looking after this chap as I’m finding it hard to relate to the thing as it was brought in a spare of a moment thing. I wasn’t expecting a hamster on that day. I will look after the hamster well though as I had a few hamster before. :)

Today I was well homesick and feeling sorry for myself as Laura went back to Stoke last night. I sent her a text this morning but I suppose she hasn’t reply back as I wouldn’t either if I was as busy as she currently is. I didn’t do much apart from nudging Jack throughout the day when it was awake. I also was building up use of my new daily contact lenses by wearing them for two hours.

Now, most people have a problem with getting them out and you would of thought it would been the same for me right? Seems not as I have great difficulty getting my eyes wide open enough to get contacts in. I can get contacts out quite quickly, I just wish I could get them in just as quick. By the time I got them in.. my eyes are sore from all the attempts.

I think I will have to wear the contact lenses for four hours tomorrow. As I only got a trial pack of five and currently got four left after wearing one pair today, I will have to dodge Sunday as I have to have some to wear for the Wednesday appointment.

My mum says that my contact lenses are bigger than the ones she wore when she had contacts. I suppose things would change as it been like 30 years since she last worn some.

Yes, photos from me are now happening again. Woot!

It wasn’t that bad just ‘bad’

16072008 I’m sorry that I’m posting the day after it happened yet again but here I go. Yesterday something which I was dreading throughout my childhood happened, my mum had a massive argument with my dad then drove off only to return to get changed into her work uniform.

I suppose I had it lucky as a child as some people I know have parents that have divorced or something like their Dad dying though their childhood and I didn’t even have my parents arguing till last night. I knew something wasn’t right about my parent relationship though, I never seen them hugging much, holding hands or even gross.. kissing! This is what I lead to believe of what parents should be doing in movies such as Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

I was kind of fazed this morning as when I went downstairs, I thought that my parents would still be fallen out with each other but they was perfectly happy eating breakfast. Maybe its down to my mum night shift and my dad having a snooze. Yeah, I happy for it to be that way but I didn’t quite recover from feeling poop last night, so I was frustrated that it was just being ignored completely.

I’m feeling fine now, I’m just bored as I’m normally am. I can’t wait until I can move out of this place but I feel that my mum never wants to let me go. I also feel that she would go completely bonkers if I left her alone with my dad.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention that I went to Waitroses and Tescos looking for a job but they didn’t have anything suitable for me. I need temporary but everything temporary been taken up at June. I couldn’t of got a job in June as I went on holiday then.. Where is the free newspaper? :P
