Next...

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I last decided to write, so here goes another long one...

As I said in the last "blog" I had work for the following day, so on the Thursday I went in to a Year 1 class (5-6 year olds).  They were so cute...due to it being two days before they were due to go on school holiday they didn't have too much to do so we just wrote a few words and did some colouring. They were a noisy bunch, but no more noisy than you'd expect for about 25 five year olds! There was one little girl who had the most hilarious and yet cute little dialect...she was very VERY Cockney, "me muvver read me a book larst nigh, yea, it was abaat this rabbid, yea" (she didn't say that, but it was an example). The normal teacher for the class called in sick for the Friday too, so I went in and surprised the children some more.  The school was nice, i'd go back, if they'd have me!

Those two evenings were pretty cool too! On the thursday Sean and I met my friend Jackie for dinner.  We met at the Waterloo station which is everso near the London Eye and the River Thames!  It was so nice, We saw Big Ben too! You wouldn't believe I was born in England and lived there for 18 years...it all seemed so new to me.  On the Friday Sean and I went to Emily's for Indian food...there was soooo much food! It was great!

That brings us to the weekend...Infernos...a huggge club that played pure pop music, bands that Em and I grew up with and loved, 5ive, Spice Girls, B*Witched! It was good fun, til my feet started hurting and it got so crowded that people bumped in to me every two seconds! Then I became a grump so it was time to leave...

The next morning Sean, Em and I walked to Chelsea and Sean and I had a delightful breakfast (at midday) surrounded by pigeons...the kids on their scooters had figured out that I was petrified of them and decided that it would be fun to let the birds sit for a while and then run after them, weith their scooters, so the pigeons flew at me and I whined. Not fun! The day concluded with a bit of grocery shopping and a lot of sleeping.

The following week was job application week...every day Sean and I would get up, apply for jobs, eat, apply for jobs, eat, apply for jobs, sleep and do the same thing over and over...I couldn't stay home the whole time so it was cut up for me by walking to town and back once a day.

Friday, we met my friend Adam for lunch at his work...he works for a brewery. and then for dinner too! They had a charity event and Adam invited us.  It was fun, Emily came and we sang karaoke...Jamelia- Superstar.  Saturday evening...we watched scary movies...just two, one of them being Paranormal Activity 3!!! I loved it!

On Sunday we went shopping for clothes for Sean, he had an interview on tuesday and needed an outfit to wear.  I also ordered boots online.  Monday I worked in the pm...teaching Reception (4-5 years), they were amazingly adorable.  I would jump at the chance to teach that age again! But since then, no more work. :-(

I sent Sean off on Tuesday, which was also his birthday, to his interview...he looked very smart and handsome...he came home, very nervous and told me that they would call him that afternoon, he was veryyyyyy confident they'd give him the job, but still wouldn't eat til they alled.  The job is for a salesman at a Skandinavian, furniture company called, Skandium.  REally, it's his ideal job, he's Scandinavian and totally obsessed with furniture, he'd be able to sell it easily!   Well he got the job and we went for a delicious, burger dinner...I looked for the healthy option...aubergine (aka eggplant) and goats cheese with no mayo....but, you know how it is, they decided to DEEP FRY the goats cheese....ah well. But the evening was wonderful and we went home to watch Psycho.

Yesterday, Wednesday, oh what a day....no work...I was very disappointed....then we had to go to the Job Centre Plus to discuss with them claims and wow, I have never seen a more disorganised place...no one seemed to talk to anyone about anything...I ended up leaving with about three more appointments to go there. Ridiculous!

Wow, this is boring....
