Hi everyone hope all is well. Well I have been quite bored the past week or so, not working, spending every waking moment (or so it felt) job hunting and getting nowhere fast! Some things have happened in that time though... did my bar course on Saturday, and it was great. The people were brilliant and so was the guy doing the course, we got to pull real pints, make real cocktails and mix real spirits - best of all, we got to drink them too! No one got really dru...

Phew had a busy few days (by my standards anyway!) I did my RSA course on Friday which you need to do in order to work in a bar... was interesting in parts but also boring in parts too... still it was a break from "I'm phoning about the job...".

Feeling a lot more settled in the apartment, Hatti from Thailand is crazy (but in a good way) and just loves learning swear words in english. Went yesterday afternoon to Oxford St (the gay street) and sa...

Hi everyone how we all doing? Don't forget to leave a meesage now... Well it's Sunday evening, had a crazy weekend. Been looking for another job to do as well as the call centre so just waiting to hear back, need to get some cash in hand! Anyways went out on Friday night with Sharon who I met through work and her boyfriend Paul. We went to 3 Wise Monkeys again, but it was quite quiet in there and not very lively so we went off to Scruffy Murphys and I had...
