Week 3, my night with DG

It started when DG came to meet me from my train at Manchester. She is so lovely and really pretty. She drove us to her place which is really nice. Some rooms were being decorated and DG showed me where she sits or stands with her laptop when she is talking to us.

She showed me her flatmates room which I would be having as she was away for the weekend. The bed was sooooooo comfortable.

We got ready for our night out and took some pre night out pics.

We got a taxi to the Academy where we saw The Stone Gods. They are the band made up of members of The Darkness without justin and the strange moustached bloke. They were really really good. Fantastic rock music.

The support band were called Serpico and sounded like a rockier Simple Plan, I love Simple Plan so I was dead chuffed. In fact, the singer looked like a slightly chubbier Pierre.

After the show we went to the bar and the band came down. Dan Hawkins, who Dg lusts after like you wouldn't believe was soooooooooo nice. What a lovely guy. They are all such lovely blokes.

I took a pic of DG with Dan, she wanted his autograph but didn't want to appear fangirly so I got my ticket signed and gave it to her.

The security guys said they were locking up then so we would have to speak to them at the tourbus, so we went out to the tourbus. We talked to them more and got more pics. Such lovely guys (Gerard could learn lessons from these guys), they kept shaking our hands and hugging us and thanking us for coming to see them.

The singer from the support act came out and we talked with him and he was adorable too ( he gave us some beer), he was called Mikey and he hugged us loads and lots of pecks on the cheek.

The guys told us that they were going to a nearby pub and that we should tag along, so we did.

When we got there, we had cokes as DG had already had too much. The drummer knocked hers flying and said he'd buy her another and asked what she was drinking. She didn't want to look sad on front of him so instead of saying that it was a diet coke, she said it was coke and double jack daniels.

When we left the pub, DG was weaving quite a bit. I had to hold on to her as we walked into Manchester to get food. She is a weird drunk because although she was weaving, we had a great convo about family stuff.

We got into Manchester and decided to taxi home and get food nearer her place. We went into a fast food place and got pizza. DG asked the bloke serving to take an end of the night pic of us. He took the camera and without warning placed a huge squeezy bottle of MAYO on the counter to be in the pic. I thought this was hilarious and DG grabbed it to pose with it.

Then we walked round to hers and got into PJ's and eat our pizza and chips.

We talked for hours then decided to post at mayos. We eventually went to bed at 7:30am. I told DG that we'd only have a few hours sleep before I needed to get my train so she offered to drive me home the next day.

The next morning, or should I say afternoon, we got up and DG confessed that there were huge parts of the evening that she couldn't remember.

We got ready and set off on the motorway and we chatted more.

I got home at 16:30 and met my mum and sis and told them all about it. While we were having tea, DG texted me to let me know she had got home safe.

This evening I have uploaded the pics for you to see and written this blog.

All in all, it was a fantastic weekend and DG is wonderful. I'm so glad I met her and we will do it again sometime.

Week 2

This week, the thing I did that I haven't done before is help out at my sister's place of work.

I have helped out for three days this week with admin stuff as they are snowed under. It was nice working with my sis, she made me cups of tea. The people there are really nice so it has been a pleasure to help.

I have laso been proactive about another job. I was asked to send in a CV. I did that but instead of just waiting to hear back, I rung them. I thought it would show them how interested I was. I asked them if they had recieved my CV.

They rang me today to come and have a look round tomorrow.

I have also sent off another application and have another to fill in this weekend.

I am trying, keep your fingers crossed for me please.

Week 1

Well, I'm gonna do it so I hope a certain indinvidual out there in blogland will do it too.

Every week I am gonna talk about something I have never done before, something that is new to me. This year is about living and trying new things no matter how small.

Week 1, me and my sister went around job agencies. It was snowing all day long but we didn't let that put us off.

The first agency was situated next door to pizza hut and while being dragged through the door by my sis, I looked longingly at the place where I would rather be.

They were very nice to me and I have an appointment to go back and sign on properly next week. These are the people that found my sister her new job and I know they are nice people.

We went round a few more but if you are not interested in admin, there's not much out there.

I'm quite interested in working as a classroom assistant and in one agency they gave me their head branch number as they have those positions. I am going to ring them tomorrow.

I made an appointment for another agency but I may cancel that one as I felt quite bullied into that one and they only had admin anyway.

I left some CV's at places.

The ball is rolling.
