Alright England, it's the beginning of July and you decide it's time to start hailing?
The impressive thunderstorms I can understand and the flickering electrical equipment is rather amusing (as long as I remember to save my work) but HAIL?
On the bright side am hopefully seeing 'Chelle's 3 day old nephew today and Kitty's are bouncing around my head :D

So my nan passed away last Monday. I've been muddling along as normal and have only cracked up once. I'm not intentionally trying to be strong and not cry as |'d rather let my grief out, but maybe the funeral this Monday coming will help me get some resolution.
I'm also exhausted, i've spent virtually every weekend for the past 2 months travelling back to london to be there for my nan and my parents. Last weekend was very odd not travelling to the hospital or hospice to visit nan.
I cant believe my nan is never going to phone me again and natter away, it still hasn't sunk in even though I saw how bad she was at the end.
Well I'm not going to dwell on the negative things, i'm just glad that she knew I was there for her.
For a completely different topic with my parents encouraging me I splashed out on a intel iMac last week. I still have my student card so I got £130 off, bargain.
Michelle and I are finally getting the internet at our place in Swindon which helped prompt the purchase - and i'd like to try and start using graphics programmes, i miss drawing on paper and using paint shop pro so hopefully i'll start both up again.
I hope you're all alright, I miss lots of you
xx

So had my 23rd birthday yesterday and I enjoyed myself!
Went to work and there was a card and box of chocolates on my desk from my boss, I only told her on tuesday to justify me leaving an hour early, but that was a very sweet gesture. I told Hannah that I was going for a induction to the Gym at lunch, she then told me they were having champagne for me at 12 so couldnt go. My birthday coincided with another colleagues 30th, so they had cakes and buns for us which went down well :)
So work wasnt too bad, glad I didnt take the whole day off otherwise I would have been twiddling my thumbs at home.
'Chelle took me to the cinema to see Eragon, then we went to Chiquitos! My food was very yummy, cant remember what it was called but will have to have mexican again sometime soon. Went home and I had birthday cards! Thank you to all who sent them, they were all appreciated very much - helped to make my day :)
Ended the day by watching a odd film (Ultraviolet) and 'Chelle almost falling asleep on me, hehe.
So I had a fun day, Thank you all for the well wishes!
*Today I finally had my gym induction, It's completely free and open 24 hours a day 7 days a week - maybe i'll finally start toning up a little!
Love Liz xxxxx

Well, friendslist
Tommorrow I'm leaving London and moving to Swindon with Michelle!
It's quite a momentous event, leaving my parents home possibly for good, getting a 'proper job', living with my girlfriend after 2+ years of being together.
I'm looking forward to it, the ups and the downs (though hopefully more ups lol), the change will be good!
I'll miss my cats though :( Leaving Shushy is the worst thing about moving away from here, she's 18 and starting to show her age. Well it's just another reason to visit my family more lol.
Bette get back on with my packing, if anybody wants a new address letter from 'Chelle and I then either drop me a message here or text me your address etc =)
There are also open invitations for people to come stay, we have a two bedroomed house so there's room, and it would be nice to have familiar faces around sometimes
Keep in touch!
Liz

I went for a interview at Watchfield on friday afternoon, received a call today and I got the job!
My mum doesn't have the slightest idea i've been thinking about this and moving, and I cant tell her because she's in Greece with my dad celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary - will have to face the music and tell them on monday.
It's good though :)
Nervous!
Looking forward to seeing 'Chelle this weekend :)

I'm off to Brighton tomorrow!
My brother moved there last month so i'm going to stay with him and let him take me out. It's quite funny I googled brighton night life and lots of gay club directories came up, should be fun if i can get to go to a few over the year.
It's my parents 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow ad i'm really not sure what to buy them hmm I have a dilemma.
Well my film just finished so ought to go to bed and try sleeping, I went out for a drink with the girls from work last night, that one drink turned into two, then I was bought a shot and it would have been rude not to accept it, then I was bought another pint of cider by a man (who was jamaican but had been living in germany for a few years so had a weirder accent than me lol), So all that combined with not eating turned me into a fairly tipsy Liz.
...I managed to get home safely though, with no stray men following me which was good. Needless to say I felt a little shaky today but it cleared up pretty quickly lol.
I need to go out more I dont want to become a reclusive hermit hehe

It's been a while since I updated. Good news is i'm being kept on working for Nestle and they are finally going to pay me the wages everyone else gets so that will be £300 extra a month.
Went to the cinema two weekends ago with 'Chelle and we saw The Black Dahlia, I've been asked to summarize how it went, 'Confusing, boring, boring, lesbians! Boring,boring lesbians? Boring, boring Finished. Lol.
And here's something highly amusing which i've never seen before!
You'll need the sound up to hear the song hehe

Now here's a silly thing for you Bella!
Hope your all well, drop me a line sometime!

So my brother's at the airport waiting to go to Japan.
He's spent the last two months helping to re-write a weird musical that Sting originally did with the WWF (world wildlife fund lol), and his band are flying to off to perform it with a japanese choir hehe.
I'm hoping he brings me back lots of cool tack, he's threatening Hello Kitty stuff. They received complete funding for the flights and accomodation and all he has to pay for is food which has been covered by generous family members :)
I hope he has a great time, gonna miss him for the two weeks he's away

Just a quick update to tell you all that shushy appeared in my room at 4:40 yesterday morning screeching terribly and dusty and skinny but alive :)
Took her to the vets and for her age she's healthy as she can be which is good. She's not feeling very well we think though and she keeps randomly screeching which she's never done before, could be the shock I suppose.
Yesterday was a great day, not only did Shushy come home to me Matt gave me a spare ticket to go see Gotan Project who were incredible! Need to book to see them again in november!
I really need to update properly, at the beginning of the month i had a lovely time at Rache's wedding anniversary with 'Chelle, your right Rache hun it was a shame we didnt get to spend longer together, but we'll arrange a meeting soon:) Then last weekend I went to chelle's sisters 21st birthday party, and i ended up spending about two hours keeping Michelle'e great grandfather company, he's a sweet old man :)
Alright time to go spoil Shushy we've been cooking her coley steaks lol - should be cool enough for her to eat now
Love and thanks for the shushy well wishes from everyone!

Shushy's disappeared. Last time any of us saw her was last night, the front room window was open and she was leaning on the window sill trying to keep cool, earlier on I came home from work and she jumped on my lap for a cuddle.
This may not be a big deal to most of you but shushy's an indoor house cat she rarely goes out to the back garden even, only with a human for company. We've searched all the gardens and close roads, asked nearby neighbours, called the vets to see if strays have been handed in etc.
She's my baby, we grew up together, have been together almost solidly for 18 years and this isnt the end I want for us. I'm doing my best to stay optimistic but she's been away 24 hours now and i heard the stupid foxes screaming an hour ago, she may have been chased further away than she knows how to get back from.
I really had a distressing day at work because i couldnt concentrate on my piling up amount of work. The new job is quite pressured with deadlines, and it's galling because i'm being paid £200 less a month than the permanent staff's basic wages for the same amount of work (3 month temping contract), when i've been there a while I may query that.
Sorry if I dont make much sense - I just love my cat and i'm worrying about her
