• That my family lived nearer to me.
• That house prices would come down.. alot!
• That petrol prices were not such a joke (and that our government were not such a bunch of fucking clowns!)
• That my balding would hurry up and conclude instead of leaving me with a mini rug over my hands each morning and fearing alapeasha setting in.
• That I could have a lie in every day
• That I could eat and not put on weight
• That I had never been stung in love or money.
• That I could get anywhere in the world via train in the same amount of time as it takes to fly.
• Oh yeah.. and for world peace.

Im a wee bit cheesed off this morning. Feel absolutely knackered. At least its not Monday morning blues!

Work have agreed to let me go to Brussels via Eurostar which Im rather grateful for! The thought of stepping on another aeroplane fills me with dread.

I swapped shifts this week because Andy told me his shifts were swapping back and he could no longer do flexi time. Ive changed from 07.30am start to 08.30am and then 08.45am for the next two weeks. It does appear though, that this is completely pointless as I ended up in work for 07.30am anyway cos apparantly he needs an hour to get to work from my work. I think this is so he can sit and read the paper, eat his breakfast and have a general fuck-a-bout before his shift starts. He is deeply offended and shouts lots when I make this suggestion!

Anyway, best get on with some work! xx

What the FUCK is this!? No Ireland. NO!!!!

Ill never feel guilty about eating turkey again!

Im thinking of closing my blog down for the time being. I had a nice photo of me and Jaya to post but I cant do that unless I mess about with webshots. I do like webshots but when am at work it wont let me post photos from there and I rarely go online at home anymore as too busy eating, walking and playing on the Wii. If only blog.co.uk would lift the bloody 1GB limit id upgrade my account!

Aside from that, I really dont have anything interesting to talk about anymore. There is only so much of my "I ate an apple today" and "Im ever so sick of work" that people are going to take before it is just dull and lifeless anyway..

Im going to have a think about it anyhow.. Will post when I feel I have something more interesting to say!

I have made friends with a woman at work. She helped me out with the sales interview and although she comes across as unapproachable in person, I have been chatting to her loads over the last few weeks and we get on swimmingly! I have got a few friends at work anyway but I just usually chat in general with them because we dont get chance to even pick our noses. However, this one I have been instant messaging and I think she just about knows my life story!

I think we are going to end up been mates and she has said that when she goes out, I can go out with them.

I know its sad but Im quite excited. Im only human and now that I dont get on the internet anymore, I get quite lonely at times!

Hoorah! xxx

I dont want to come across as a drama queen.... but I think im dying.

for the past few weeks, ive been having stomach pains at various intervals throughout the day. Ive tried winding myself, laxatativing myself, and even just sitting on the toilet and trying to give myself the ole' "heave hoooo.." But nothing is making me feel better.. You know when u can feel that somethin is wrong? you know when u know?

For any intelligent people/doctors who may be reading this, the pain is just under what I think is the top of my ribcage on the left hand side. What is this illness? Answers on a comment please!

Im riddled... RIDDLED I TELL THEE!!!

Ok, I have had the pleasure of getting the job.. Now its time for the pain...

Ive got to FLY to Brussels for my training (I HATE flying..)
On TWO seperate occasions... (away from the world and probably missing my neices birth!)

for SIX days each time... (my betrothed is going to forget what I look like!)

Doing FUCKING ROLE PLAYS!!!!!! (Ill be honest, we aint talking whip in hand.. we are talking "hello mr customer.. may I ask as to why u dont want our product and service.. please please please thank you?)

Ah well... Ive requested the Eurostar...and if thats not possible, andy has requested some self help DVD's and books for me. Plus, Im the only english person whos going to be training.. I have an advantage.. I speak the language fluently... ish... xx

As anyone who has known me in my personal life or through my blog over the last month or so will know, I had a job interview on Thursday afternoon. The preperation involved me creating a presentation to deliver to the sales manager and head of recruitment entitled - "Steps I will take to ensure that I am a top performer in the xxxxx sales team." Having never delivered a presentation in my life, It is safe to say that even with what felt like endless practising, feeling like a nonce talking to wardrobes and even trying to see if I could nail it after a couple of lagers, I felt as if anything could have happened in the interview. It was a case of either balls'ing it up big time, or absolutely getting it spot on. Fight of flee?

And I did better than I ever thought possible...

I stood there, absolutely dripping with sweat from my titties to my toes, and I did better than in any of my practise sessions, said everything and more than I had thought of saying beforehand, and even managed to put a little bit of my personality and humour into it.

The one area that I feel I may have let myself down were in the interview questions. I had prepared and panicked so much about the presentation part of the job, that when it came to the questions and the competency part of the interview, I was completely unprepared. I just tried to ensure that my enthusiasm came across.

After the interview, my beloved (who may i add over the last few weeks has been as patient as a saint) picked me up and drove me to my nearest service station to whip my kegs off and shove my shorts on. It was at this point that I lost the pen drive that my presentation was on which means that it is possibly gone forever!

When arriving into Blackpool, we had a call from the sales manager...

"Hellooooo... " I said.
"Hi, Is that Adrian?" The sales manager said.
"It certainly is! Is that Dave?" I asked *thinking* of course its Dave you pleb head.. what other calls were u expecting from Coventry regarding job applications today!?!*
"It is. So Adrian, I was just wondering how you thought the interview went today?" He asked.
"Well, I thought that the presentation went really well but I felt I maybe I could have answered the questions in the interview part a little better." I said. *thinkin* actually at this point it would be a little bit cruel if you were to tell me that I did shockingly shit and didnt get the job.. how rude would that be?"*
"Adrian, I thought you did brilliantly in both the presentation and in the interview. Your drive and enthusiasm shines through and I would be absolutely delighted to offer you the position!" He said..
"Oh.. OH! Oh well thats just brilliant.. Well, I didnt expect this... thank you soooooo sooooo much..." *thinking* Ive done it.. Ive bloody bloomin done it. I look at Andy next to me and he looks as though all of his christmasses have come at once. At this point I feel a surge of love in my heart for him.

*we chat for a bit longer and then Dave leaves me and tells me to pop in and see him on Monday. I start the job on June 16th*

I was unable to tell anyone about the job for the first hour as the people who didnt get the job were been informed. For the first time in going for a job, I was 99% convinced that I was not going to be successful. Having never been unsuccessful in getting a job, I was unsure on how the rejection would feel. The main reason for this was because there was another girl that had gone for the role who came out and thought she had reason to believe that she was going to be successful.

But yes, I got it. And for the whole of our Blackpool break, I have been walking on air.  The weather reflected the mood and we are both sporting a bit of colour on the cheeks! (and me, a big boil on the end of my nose-yeah, thanks for that one..)

I am so proud of myself and so grateful to Andy for been so supportive and patient with me... God knows, it takes a saint to put up with me at times!

So Blackpool was great, I am great and I spoke to Meera who is a friend who also went for the interview and although she was upset, she has remained positive and said that if she wanted anyone else to get it, it would have been me.

The downside to getting the job was that I had made a promise that if I did so, I would go on the "big one" at Blackpool. How could I refuse after getting the role?! I simply did what any adult, mature professional would do... I screamed my bitches off the whole way around!!! Ha!!

• Sweaty Palms.
• The feeling of a migraine coming on..
• The need to keep running the toilet every half an hour.
• No appetite (May also come under the title of "Miracle.")
• Sales Presentation recited to wardrobe doors 200+ times
• 400+ Strops thrown because I cant find an item of clothing/jewellery/stationery for my interview.

And 1 big fat argument had with the boyfriend. If he slams the door once more, ill slam his fucking face.

 As I said, Im a man on the edge. When this interview is over, we are going straight to Blackpool for a few days so I can chill out. Ill probably owe Andy a few apologies by then as well!

I rang one of my very best friends in the world last night, Broad. I have known her for a fair few years and Im sure if you read back you will read back on some of the great adventures we have had. She insisted on ringing me and asking what had gone on with all the house etc.

I told her the whole story about the apartment and where I was living now... I told her I was in Stoke this weekend as I had next week off work. I told her about my interview at work on Thursday. She made listening noises and said "oh my god" every now and again for good measure to show she was listening..

"So, when am I coming down to see the new pad?" she says to me at the end of the conversation..
"Broad, have u not listened to a word Ive said?" I replied..
"Er.. Yeah.. Yeah.. course I have.." She says..
"Im not living there any more.." I says..
"Your not?! Oh my God?! Why?!" she replies..
"Im not going through this again Broad..." I says...
"But where are u living now if you are not there?!" she asks innocently..
"AT ANDREWS MUM AND DADS HOUSE AS IVE MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THIS PHONE CALL!" I shouted...

The conversation ended shortly after... I would have text her a little later on in the night had I not received the following text from her:-
"So babe.. when u in stoke again?"

Grrr.. Wait till she has man trouble again... Ill put the phone on the side while I have a shower!! xxxx

Last night me and Andy watched Pretty Woman. I have decided that this has got to be one of my all time favourite films. No matter how many times I watch it, I always really enjoy it... I tried to eat healthy last night by having salmon and potatoes. unfortunately this went tits up as me and andy devoured half of what was left of the posh easter egg I got him.

I have my job interview next week on Thursday at 12:45pm. Im going to give it my best shot. If I dont get the job, Im going to start really getting my arse into gear and looking for something else. If the truth is known, I would really quite like the job now. Whether or not they want me though, remains unknown...

Work has been better today. A little quieter than the last few days. Still predictable customers though. You tend to know the breed on the other end of the phone and know that some people will just argue you for the sake of arguing where as others dont care what u say and will still say "thats great, youve been great.. thank you so much.. goodbye." (after you have told them that their parcel has been lost in the middle of the bermuda triangle because the plane was attacked by a oversized carrier pigeon etc etc)

Im in a good mood today and for the first time in ages, Im going to try and take it home with me and shower my Andy with some Adie lovin'!! xxxx
