Application!
At last I have written the application for the PGCert in Management. Only had the form for 2 months. Not that I didn't want to do it just suffering from round tuits again. Why is it that things that are so important to get done are the things we take the longest to get around to? Lets hope it's not too late and I'll be studying like a trouper yet again for 2 years. It all should be very interesting at any rate - if only I ran the risk of having more staff to manage! No doubt the boss will be relieved that I appear to be committing beyond the end of my current contract to my post. I do of course hope noone votes out Labour at the next election or it'll probably be bye bye to all the funding for Sure Starts and hello unemployment for me. Not that I think the conservatives are unlikely to fund such things, being not very free market if you ain't got the cash we don't want to know or anything. The may be trying to look like the only party who believes in the welfare state and unions but it must be a sham - they have Michael Howard "enemy of women's rights and promoter of Clause 28" as their leader after all.
This weekend I have also traipst all over York's Goth shops and found some lovely PVC (a top in the "Snow White" style and a rather tightly fitting skirt) plus got a guess at my fittings to continue the eBay search for trousers. Was slightly alarmed when the shop assistant said "I'm glad you decided to get that top it really suits you" as they were downstairs and we had been upstairs. He then pointed at the CCTV camera... We also persuaded the lady in the changing cubicle before us to buy the dress she had tried on - for the 12th time in 4 months. Didn't get a discount though. My friend purchased a lovely top too - she has embraced the way of showing off her (to me) rather alarming bosoms. To your average bloke they are rather delightful and my efforts of persuasion viz a vie the top she wore to the last Wendy house have been appreciated. Services to Humanity that's what it's all about.
Going away bbq for B&A this weekend - they are off to cycle the world for a year, shame it was damp but it was good to see some faces that hadn't been around a while. (esp Jules and her man). Got to the bottom of the baby agro from Wednesday - the lady in question gives all longstanding couples who haven't got married when are you getting married grief. people who are married get when are you having kids grief and people who are single get what are you doing about a relationship grief in the whole MSc stress thing. Clearly I got the wrong grilling!
Friday was 70-0 Rhinos to St Helens at the Rugby - good Rugby not so sure about the company after. I may need to give up the pub in the company of some people, it doesn't really make for the optimum fun for an Iola situation.
Chap is off on a weeks course - dropped him at the station and later discovered his inhaler in the car. Luckily he'd given me contact details for where he is so have got their address and will post it tomorrow. He rarely uses it so by not telling him it's missing I'll hopefully not trigger a need for it before it arrives on Tuesday. Asthma attacks - haven't worked out if its just pollen induced or if it's any old thing asthma. Perhaps I should find out more about it - as a dutiful girlfriend and all. But then would that be an intrusion into his independent bloke world? If I found out but didn't say anything would that be OK I wonder?
