The trouble with money...

Hey.
Just had some bad news about the jobseekers allowance i've been receiving. It's not been good luck finding work, but my money might be going soon.
So, decided to visit FAS (it's an irish job and course centre) today and properly register with them. Been lookin at their online website for the yr and registered online with them. They were really helpful there, and said I should go to the Dept of Family and Social Affairs and ask to get a referal letter to FAS so it wil help with gettin funding for a course or getting work. Hope to get that done tomorrow morning.
It was such a panic today, it's hopeless getting work here. Looked in the papers, and applied for a position in Bar staff in Cuba* niteclub. Love that club anyways, Giggle.
And to Gordon, Sorry I wasn't myself today... Cuddles... And to all my friends, Keep Smiling x x x

Feeling much better... And happier too...

Hey everyone,

I've been at home with the parents again the past week, was feeling ill for a few days, but feeling much better now. One of my friends thought it was Swine Flu, of all things... Giggle.

I was online a few days ago, early in the morning cos I couldn't sleep, and this person left a message on one of my online places. It was sweet, so I thought I'd write back the usual lovely Maire way... Hugs and cuddles :)
It turns out he's been a real gentleman chatting to me. His name's Gordon, he's from Omagh but living in Belfast. Looking for work like me, so he's been finding it very tough. He understood how I was feeling, and it's such a relief to be able to help eachother out, and cheering eachother up...
He's been just so open to me about everything, and I would like to get to know him better. I keep telling him why he hasn't been kept by some girl, and he's such the sweetest person...

Jellybean for Gordybaby x

I'm giving it time to know him better, but am gonna meet him in July at some point. We get on so well, and I don't think he's said one thing that 'bothers' me, and that's really strange for me.

Weightwatchers is still going well, lost another 2 pounds since. Will let you know how its going. My clothes are feeling a little more comfortable... ^_^/

Just waiting for Dad to drop me off in town, gotta babysit later this afternoon. He's taking his time tho... Had a cuppa tea and a NutriGrain Strawberry cereal bar... Yum!

Tae, Tae, Is maith liom e! x

Three weeks on in Weightwatchers...

.... and I've lost 7and a half pounds...

Yes! Silver Sevens star :) So proud of myself! Celebrating tonight with a glass of Rose wine with my friend Sandra... Smiles x

Weightwatchers is going well... And other stories...

I like looking around my room, it's full of things I love...

Photos, DVDs, Books, Notebooks, Mugs, Lotions, Perfumes, Teddies, Souvenirs, Trinkets... And it's such a tiny room, but I love it...

So, I joined the dreaded Weightwatchers group, less than two weeks ago. This was the one thing I thought I wouldn't stick to, like a lot of other things I've tried. But, it seems to be a good direction in my life. There's a lot of support from the other people in the group, and everyone encourages eachother. The inital week, I lost 5lbs, but think that's just the quick start.
Seeing as I hurt my foot last night, not going to lose much at all this week... (Typical... giggle).

Smiling...

Still...

No luck with finding work. Am still positive.
Any stories for me? Would love to hear from you... Might take photos of Galway in the next while, and upload them. Been nice weather the last few days (besides today, oh how I love the rain!)...
