    I'll be living in zone 2 (Kentish Town) and working pretty centrally (kinda between London Bridge and Bermondsey just off the jubilee line) - so probably not that much need for a while anyway! Rent when we get out of the shared house and go for our own place is going to be a bit of a killer... :eek:

    In The Downward Notice Period Spiral right now. Have done absolutely **** all this week, trying to write handover documents but fcuk me it's boring :pac:

    Nice spot, Kentish Town. Yup it takes a while to adjust to rent prices; I tend not to think about it or to compare (you cant compare in context), even tho my mam is always saying 'ye could rent two three bedroom houses in the estate across the road from us for the amount ye pay on rent!!'... yes mum, Id love to live right across the road from ye :)

    Good luck x

    Somehow I think my mam wishes we'd all end up living near her, rather than London, Christchurch and one brat still at home :pac:

    My mam built a one bed extension a few years back..'a playroom', 'for guests' 'in case your nan gets ill'.....but I know what she hopes..just in case..could you imagine!!! Bless her, but nope.

    Glad to be home! Lots of paperwork ahead of me tonight but it has to done.

    Re-transforming my website so haven't been blogging. I didn't realize how much I missed writing until I stopped, I have a backlog of emails from to respond to so better stop procrastinating on Boards :D

    Hello all! Hope you're okay PP, and best of luck with the interview HardLuckWoman :)

    I moved my stuff home from Dublin for the summer, finally. You really do become ruthless about culling stuff when you have to cram two bedrooms worth of things into one rather small room with feck-all wardrobe space.

    Poppa Bear is doing a barbecue later though \o/

    Try fitting it into 46kg of baggage and you can imagine the scope of the cull I'm having to make at the moment!

    My dad is a lorry driver and has organised a container on a boat for me \o/

    Still throwing a lot of stuff out though :P

    Well, I was, I'm currently watching doctor who with my sister. You wouldn't think I was moving out next week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,331 ✭✭✭Ilyana 2.0


    I sent a heap of clothes, shoes and handbags to the charity shop, and I still have too much stuff :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I did too, dropped a big bag of clothes and stuff over to my mam's last night for the charity shop! 3 big bags of stuff for the bin, could probably fill one of my bags with shoes alone...

    11 minutes to freedom!

    And my baby grinds students have finished their exams! :D Both felt it went well, while one of the topics we'd prepared didn't come up, they felt it was grand (got a bit of a fright when visited the LC forum and everyone was saying it was horrific..).

    Yay :D

    Lots of loungers in London soon. I've been hit by an attack of homesickness today. I want to go back to Ireland, I don't like London any more!

    It's going to be a looong night in work. The fact that I'm practically falling asleep at my desk is not helping either. I predict a 10pm finish at the earliest...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,176 ✭✭✭angeldelight


    Must be something in the air today - I've had a big clearout too. My parents have had a skip for a week, which I knew about. It gets picked up in the morning so this morning I decided to see if I have anything to put in it... I have loads!

    Also been doing a really thorough cleaning as I go - back, neck and shoulder are in bits. Can't wait to get into my bed with new sheets in my clean and tidy bedroom later!

    :D

    Ah, it's not really that bad. I sent my boyfriend home this morning, so I'm fairly miserable today.
    But after I posted that and left college, I walked into the main square and there was an abba tribute band belting it out. And I got a free biscuit. Shaped like a moustache.
    London is weird.

    But I guess it's okay sometimes.

    London is weird a lot if the time :/ so many people but you can go from one end of the week to the other without talking to people, and then stumble upon something random that cheers you for days! It's a funny kinda place. Cheers up How so Joe x

    *Hugs* for How So Joe. It's always so hard to say goodbye and go back to 'real life', I'd imagine it's especially difficult when it's your boyfriend you're saying goodbye to! Hope you feel a bit better soon :)

    I'm so excited for you guys moving to London :D I'll be applying for training contracts there soon, doubt I have any chance of getting one but it's nice to dream :) Really looking forward to visiting London next weekend too! Hope all of your packing and preparation goes wonderfully over the next while!

    Went to see Man of Steel earlier, really enjoyed it. Henry Cavill is a fine specimen! :pac:

    I want to go to London again, I want to visit ALL the museums. I've decided that that's what I want to be when I grow up; a museum curator :D

    That was what i wanted to be :( I had the right primary degree but not the points :mad: :(

    Does one need points to be a curator?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 32,329 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    I took the car out for a spin all by myself and I didn't crash or anything. :D

    Now it was only 2 minutes up the road to training but it's a start!

    Boo to hay fever too. My eye is finally coming back down to its normal size.

    You need a 2.1 in a degree thats mostly history and a years experience working in a museum. I got a 2.2 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    Went into 3rd gear this evening. Vrooom Vrooom!! :pac:

    Also, my friend had a baby boy! Deligted for her as she had been trying for a few years and lost a baby. Excuse to go visit her now :)

    Aaah. History is my minor unfortunately, but I'm trying to structure my modules in such a way that half of them will still be history. Seems tougher to get into than I thought...

    I would love to do that course. Honestly my ideal job. Im raging over it!! :(

    It's an odd kind of course; a glorified arts degree, tbh. But I do enjoy it, especially seeing as the boring law subjects are finished now.

    I'd love to work in a museum too, it'd be soooo interesting. Is there any other way you could get into that kind of work?
