OH... EMMM...GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This last week has been MENTAL!!
So I got a call from a school I applied to, and I had and interview set up on Wednesday. Fine. Good. Bangin'.
Interviews. They are meant to be a good thing. Right? A myriad of excitement and new opportunity. But naturally my life is eternally ridiculous. So this is the long joke that played out in the next few days at my sanity's expense...
I traversed the hot sweaty miles to Abingdon on the Sunday night so I could spend some time with that bloke what I know there (Nathan) and generally have a new environment in which to get my freak on. (By which I mean utterly freak out).
I wake up Monday, stirred by the violent buzzing of my phone. Its 8 o clock... who rings at 8 o clock?
Guess? It was another school!Who wanted to see me Wednesday also. But I made it work. So now I had one at 9 and one at 12.45.
To cut a long story short, I ended up with three on Wednesday and one Thursday.But the Wednesday ones were impossible, after much attempting to shift them all around. So I cancelled the furthest one and went to two.
And after a long hard few days of nervousness, worrying about travelling to all these new places and actual real tears, guess what happened?
I got the job with the first school I went to at 9 am Wednesday.
All that arranging, and stress etc, and I could have just stopped there, with one. Good. Fine!
At least I love the place. And they seem to love me, because they had interviews set up all day, I was the first candidate through the door, and they rang me half an hour after I was out the door. It's nice to be wanted :D
The rest of the week? Nathan got really sick, and I spent the next three nights or so up with him, probably got 6 hours sleep over the whole three nights till the journey home on Saturday, whereby I got soaked in skimpy summer wear, and still made it to me eons long arranged philosophical meeting with Sophie and Lauren, bedraggled me, case and all. Many cocktails were had, and I had been invited on to a BBQ, but I really had just had enough!
The problem is, I've had no time to really rest since either. Sunday I drove for two hours in the sun, came home, wedmined it up for a few hours, got a heat and stress migraine that made me PHYSICALLY SICK multiple times, passed out and woke up this morning where I'm just doing it all again. All morning I did wedding crafting, just drove for two hours (though quite well I might add :D) and now I'm about to cook for my house, and I've got some plans later too.
Tomorrow's forecast is looking much the same but in a slightly different order.
Wednesday I'm in France all day to pick up wedding wine, Thursday is dress fittings, and then Friday I finally get to rest a bit. Saturday is both my birthday AND two of my friends wedding (exciting!!) Sunday I will probably be dead. Then Monday another mad week begins.
I believe I will be having frequent vom breaks i the next few weeks in between. I remember saying all this was going to all but kill me. I just didn't think it would be this accurate! :(
Still. Here's to all the good things. A week with my man, sick or not. I'm back on top of my driving. I have a job in the right area come September, and at least I might look extra slim and fab in my dress now! :p
Peace out. May your lives be hilariously ridiculous and never dull like mine ;) xx

Wednesday, 9 July 2014
Alright... I'm gunna start this up again...
"This is an invocation for new beginings..." - Ze Frank... Check him out... he's great.
Alright, so I currently have a lot of things going on right now. Here's a low down of my life at current...
Alright... so when we left off I was an engaged student struggling through student life and my final degree year with no idea when I would actually get married.
Well, I got a first class degree (just!) and now, after some settling time it's happening! And soon at that. August 16th this year I will become a married woman! So that's a thing. But now myt entire life is about lists, spreadsheets, emails emails emails, creature making as favours, center piece making, bouqet making, coordinating and endless endless other wedmin junk. AAAAAH!!
Needless to say, the very thought of it all is stress enducing. But it'll get there... 38 days left... holy jeebus!!
So I finally started my driving lessons, and have apparently been doing quite well. It is one of the few things in life that appears to come quite naturally to me... yay!! So I've booked my theory test for the 28th of july... 19 days to revise!!
So, I was working at a school as long term agebcy staff for the last academic year. However, they totally ballsed their budget, and so just 4 weeks before the end of term, the school had to let the rest of the agency staff go because they just couldn't afford to have all the staff. Kinda sucks, but I've got a lot on my plate right now anyway. But it now means its even more important I'm working in OXfordshire as soon as I move there really (yeah... I'll explain why there in the next one). I absolutely hate how ridiculous the application process has become. It used to be send a CV, and sometimes a covering letter too. Now you have to register to a site, which takes like half an hour, and then fill the massive application form, then answer all these massive questions... write a specific personal statement... YAWN! Each application takes like two hours at least... it's tiering and impossibe to do more than 3 a day without killing yourself!
Yeah. Moving. So Nathan (that man I happen to be marrying) got the perfect job for him at the begining of this year, after a long tiering search. The only catch was it was in Abingdon, Oxfordshire! But he was brave and took it, and moved up there all alone! Not only does this mean we're back to a uni type seeing timetable (actually, it's less than then... every other weekend) but it means that I will be moving there after the wedding.
This makes all aplications and potential interviews etc infinately more difficult. Boo!
We are also looking into house options, because there isn't enough space for me and my stuff in his flat at current. and it's an incredibly tedious necessity.
This is self explainitary. But it's just a bit harder when the stress of everything else and the lack of sleep over worrying makes me want to reach for all the bad things. but i've been pretty strong for a week and a half now... fingers crossed this is all going to work and I won't fold. I just want to start married life a more healthy way. ALL THE FRUIT AND VEG. None of the chocolate :'(
And then there's the rest of my life
Which as you know from previous tales, has a tallent for being infinately curious and ridiculous.
Well, at least I get some laughs from it all, which is what this blog is really about. Now we've got the housekeeping out of the way, let us begin!
Heres to the fun bits that make the rest worth while.
Peace out (Y)
Alright, so I currently have a lot of things going on right now. Here's a low down of my life at current...

Theory Revision
So I finally started my driving lessons, and have apparently been doing quite well. It is one of the few things in life that appears to come quite naturally to me... yay!! So I've booked my theory test for the 28th of july... 19 days to revise!!
Applications
So, I was working at a school as long term agebcy staff for the last academic year. However, they totally ballsed their budget, and so just 4 weeks before the end of term, the school had to let the rest of the agency staff go because they just couldn't afford to have all the staff.

Moving Prep
