Well tomorrow is the big day my Finals for both Brisa and L&p and I have to say I am scared stiff!!!!!:eek:

I was having second thoughts about sitting it due to everything that has been going on personally with me but I know my FIL would have been so angry with me if I had pulled out.

Studying for me is a difficult thing I can get stuff into my head but I struggle translating it back out on to paper this is something that has been my down fall many times before.
The teaching has been brilliant Fee is such a easy person to understand and makes it fun to :lol: the support I have received from everyone at Fingertips has been phenomenal so if I fail its been down to me and not them.

I am not going to do to much more studying tonight don't want to burn out and I still have all my kit to pack up which will take me a while as I check it again and again just to make sure :lol:

We have such an early start tomorrow about 7am and knowing my luck it is going to be raining all the way down and back!

So please all my geeky mates keep your fingers crossed for a successful day xxxxx ]]> Klassy Klaws http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/klassy+klaws/13287-how-time-flies-scary-what.html http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/busybee32/13281-loving-my-new-phone.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:10:45 GMT Have just had a new upgrade, got my new phone n97 mini, and Im in love.

I hope she doesn't mind me saying but her own life has to say the least not been a bed of roses.

Many months ago I did the smallest of favours for this person and had completely forgotten all about it.

That was until this morning when postie presented me with a rather interesting package.

On opening it I found a huge amount of Authentic Croatian spice mixes....seems this peep somehow knows I like my food :eek:

Wow how thoughtful and looking at the stamps on the parcel it must have cost her a fortune to send.

What a nice thought after all this time and just completely out of the blue.

Thank you Croatia Mari ...you are indeed a very special person :hug:

Right off to cook up a storm with one of the sauce mixes...mmmm wonder which one goes best with Rose LOL

Thanks again...you are a sweetheart :hug: ]]> collin http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/collin/13278-some-people-so-nice-arent-they-0.html http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/collin/13274-what-heck-going-now.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:22:57 GMT mmm after last nights jovial activities on the boards.......there seems to be many new avatars ...which by the way are fab...especially Fi's cat-woman :hug:

Thought i had better check my fone in case she had sent a text to say she was running late. She had sent a text but it was to say that she has decided not to stay after all. I have clients in tomorrow and she wont be coming in to do them.

Four weeks ago I resigned from my teaching post which was my main income, and last week and last thursday was my last day but this week iam really starting to miss seeing all of my students, also it was really hard to see that someone else had been put into place before i even left, I dont really want to say why I left but at the moment iam feeling really down and feel that i havnt been treated right, you know the feeling that you get when you feel like your just not wanted somewhere! Why do we give as much as weve got but still its never enough for some people!

I have eaten 8 slices of toast (but 2 slices sandwiched and toasted to make one - so 4 lots of low fat butter substitute and marmalade) and a tin of spaghetti (not great but I was desperate). Thats way way more than I would normally eat during the day and I'm still sodding hungry.

I was supposed to go to supermarket but stuck in all day cos workmen needed access to the house. I can't be bothered to go shopping, thats what hanging on all day does to you, so I have just ordered a chinese. I'm sat here impatiently waiting and was impatiently counting the minutes to opening time.

Dont you just hate hungry days like this? And why do they happen when there is nothing decent in to eat? :eek: :eek: ]]> Annie23 http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/annie23/13264-dont-you-just-hate-those-days-when-you-just-cant-seem-stop-feeling-hungry.html http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/hope/13262-feel-so-proud.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:45:22 GMT Hi All,

I know I'm not about anyway near as much as I used to be, although I do stilll pop on pretty regularly.......life has been busy busy busy with the house sale/move/new schools etc........I don't seemed to have stopped for months and months.

However today I wanted to come on and tell you how proud I am of a very close friend who has, with the help of his wife (she was his crew) and a tiny bit of help from me (I've had their 3 children and 2 dogs) Because today he completed a Deca Ironman......1 Ironman a day for 10 days, that is 24.2 miles of swimming, 1120 miles of cycling and 262 miles of running in 10 days......Not only did he complete it but he came in 4th Place.

This is the world Championsips and he flew the flag for GB. He was the least experienced athlete there and he has acheived something that I can't even get my head around.

I am so so proud of him and just wanted to share :hug: ]]> Hope http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/hope/13262-feel-so-proud.html http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/collin/13260-crap-vat-goes-back-up-jan-2010.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:42:23 GMT just had confirmation for the VAT office that the rate is going back up to 17.5% in Jan 2010.:irked: My initial thoughts were bastards...but on reflection they could have well put it up to 20% to claw back the discount they have been giving us for a year so not so bad...at least were just back... just had confirmation for the VAT office that the rate is going back up to 17.5% in Jan 2010.:irked:

Please can anyone give me any ideas? I've got a few but only have 20 minutes to do the teaching in. Not too sure what I can do in this. Also have to get the class involved in activities.

Well, Sonia and I were just getting ready to go out to town, when we got a knock on the door by a couple of police detectives... apparently someone phoned them to say that they thought they had seen Madeleine McCann in the back of our camper van around 3 years ago!

Which is very bizarre, as we don't recall having had any children on board our camper van - and if they were, they would most probably have been one of the daughters of a friend of ours (all 3 were bridesmaids at our wedding back in 2005); we had one of their photos on a shelf though, so the detective could see that one of them might have been mistaken for Madeleine McCann, and it's certainly possible that we might have given one of them a lift in the van, as they came for a visit with their mum back in the summer of 2007 (one of them was taking part in a tennis tournament at the tennis club just over the road from us).

It was a bit scary though, as the visit came completely out of the blue, and they were essentially accusing us of kidnap! They even asked if we had been to Portugal (which neither of us ever had) - the last time we were abroad was back in March 2004 for a long weekend in Paris; we haven't been abroad since owing to Sonia's health!

But after that, we had a lovely afternoon out in town though; we went to the L'Occitane shop in Shrewsbury which opened today - they were giving out free glasses of champagne, which ironically neither Sonia and I partook in (Sonia doesn't like champagne, and I was driving). Then after going round a few other shops, we had a lovely Italian meal at Ask Restaurant (I got my spaghetti carbonara for a quid as Sonia had sent me an email with a voucher to print out). Pepsi and the Pug finished off the rest of Sonia's pizza when we got back home LOL... ]]> Ruth Mills http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/ruth+mills/13257-how-weird.html http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/angelina221/13254-happy-happy-happy.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:21:42 GMT Well i've had a great day today.
My hairdresser has decided to stay so i'm chuffed about that.
I also did an intimate male wax today. The guy had previously been waxed by Andy so i was thinking 'oh he'll be comparing me'!
Well i did him and all went really well.
Anyway he emailed me later.
He said there was very little difference in technique apart from that i start off with them on all fours.
He said he preferred this way as it was a more comfortable way to do this area. He also said he preferred the wax i used (i use Berins), and he said my wax seemed to set quicker which was better.
Oh i am so chuffed(sorry Andy-lol).
Isn't nice when people take the time to thank you?
Right i'm off out for the night to play cards at my snooker club. Ooh i hope i win, that will just end my day very nicely indeed :lol: ]]> angelina221 http://www.salongeek.com/blogs/angelina221/13254-happy-happy-happy.html
