Hello!
I am still excessively busy at the moment. Still working six days a week, but there is a week off on the horizon. When my boss said he wanted me to know everything he really did mean it. I am now responsible for the wages, ordering, writing up the blue (addicts) scripts and training the locum pharmacists how to use our computer system! No extra pennies for this yet, I am sensing an increase in respect coming from him though which I like.
I am still studying, had my first tutorial on Tuesday. Generally the people were ‘normal’ but there was the one very pompous man which I suppose is to be expected seeing as we were discussing ‘the definition of art’. I’ll get him back when we get to The French Revolution!! It’s very nice having my sister doing the course too as we have had our own little study sessions and I think we are both getting more out if it because of this.
Wedding-wise I have decided that Maisie will give me away, we were practising how we would walk down the aisle on the way to school this morning. I have also chosen the dress I want to wear. I have to say that it is black but it also has turquoise in it so it will match my hair. Amazingly I have found it on ebay and they will make to measure for only £185! Still haven’t set the date yet though haha!
I have just come out of the bath and feel very relaxed and cosy listening to New Model Army, I will possibly study for a while or I may just veg. For the moment I am looking forward to England beating France in the rugby on Saturday

I am dead on my feet at the moment. Working six days a week, looking after a child and trying to run a house is a bloody knackering thing to do. Because of the lack of staff at work I am also being shown how to do many more things, this is leaving me mentally drained too and of course in a few weeks I start on my OU course, yay! To top it all off my social calendar has never been so full! This weekend is the only weekend where I have nothing to do, well it was until I found out that mum is going into hospital to have her knee replaced on Sunday so I shall be spending some time with her. Billy isn’t round tonight (as he normally is) so I am going to attempt to do washing up, tidying and washing of clothes, oh and then I’ve got to make dinner at some point, go through Maisie’s spellings and listen to her read.
Something is going to go pop soon, I’m betting on my feet and my brain.

My pharmacy needs an award.
I’ve been there for just over 2 years and in that time we’ve been open through fire, flood and drought. Today we had no electricity thanks to the butchers down the road, and we were still open. My poor boss had to write all the labels for the prescriptions by hand like it was in the old days! The man who lives in the flat above the shop next door lent us a camping stove to make coffee on and I had to go to the loo in the pitch black darkness.
At about 3.15 there was a mass of beeping as the power surged through the cables again. Lights were switched on and we blinked in the brightness of it all. If the owner of the pharmacy was ever worried about the place he really shouldn’t be. Us girls can cope and work through anything

I have another one of those weird weeks, they seem to be happening a lot recently, I’m not sure I can cope with them!
I woke up on Saturday, looking forward to the pirate party that I was going to that evening. I did my normal coffee and internet thing that I do in the morning. Facebook, Myspace, WordPress, bank, lottery. Everything was normal until I got to the lottery website. The balance said £0.00 but I had an alert. I clicked on it expecting it to tell me my tickets had run out, but no. It told me I had won £805!!!! I kind of believe in Karma and to me this was the good following the bad (the burglary) but then some bad had to happen, which it did that night.
The pirate party was fantastic, everyone dressed up wonderfully and we actually managed to go down the canal on the boat. The bands were on top form and the drink flowed, this was my problem. I got so drunk that I can’t remember going home, and I was in charge of Maisie. Never in my whole life have I felt sooooo disgusted with myself. Maisie said it was horrible to see and I remember when I was a kid seeing my mum drunk and it was indeed hideous. Maisie has forgiven me but it’s going to take a very long time for me to forgive myself. She gives me huge hugs and kisses and tells me it’s ok, but it’s not really, is it?
This was the bad to counteract the previous good, so therefore there must be some good to counteract this bad. This came yesterday in the form of my work mate handing in her notice which means I now have a full time job in a place I really like working in. I am really happy at the moment, but there is still a little man in my head with a big black cloud telling me never to drink again while I’m in charge of Maisie… and I won’t.
