So here are pics of my new laptop

It’s so awesome :-) we don’t get internet till tonight (hopefully) then the first thing im gonna do is download skype so I can webcam it up with donna and the parents/sister. It’s gonna be aweeeesome.

I started my BSL Level 2 course last night..the tutor, chris is deaf and he’s really nice. He knows that I’m not that hot on the BSL but already knows I know ASL (aussie sign language) so we managed to sign together pretty well.  Don’t know if I’ve explained the story behind it all but basically there is a young person in the children looked after team (at my work) who has deaf parents..she doesn’t live with them but visits them every weekend. She knows the basic signs and wanted to take it a step further BUT she’s only 15 so in order for her to attend this adult course she needed to have an adult go with her, so the CLA team unit manager asked me if I wanted to do a level 2 and I jumped at the chance! It’s an expensive course but thankfully I get to do it free as it’s kinda part of work (not part of my PA job though)  the young person is really cool…I was worried we wouldn’t get along but we get along great. We’ll both be doing this course every Monday night until next July…there will be 3 exams during that time…and at next weeks lesson we have Ofsted inspectors sitting in so Chris is a bit nervous haha.  My homework this week is to describe 2 rooms in my house and tell it to the class next week (all in sign language of course) haha. All the ppl in the class are girls..aged between about 21 – 35 (cept for the YP of course)

I have put a BSL dictionary on my amazon wishlist so I hope I get it cuz It will be so useful as the course doesn’t provide a dictionary. Oh oh oh and at last nights lesson we learnt about professions…like how to sign ‘butcher’ and ‘dress maker’ and ‘chemist’ and ‘doctor’ and all that kind of thing…then how to put them in to sentences. BSL is different to Aussie cuz they miss out the ‘and’ ‘it’ ‘to’ words and just sign the main words. That will take some getting used to.

Anyway..martin was supposed to find out about the police on Friday and it’s now Tuesday and we’ve still heard nothing..so hopefully today we will get some news about it. He’ll get a letter either saying Yes or No. we’ll see.

Anyway..got the travel bug again but this time i want to dooo something about it...i want to go to either LA or NY but i've been to NY like every year for the last 3 years and im thinking LA is the way forward.

i found this:


 

Enjoy our Eastenders conversation today: (about last nights episode mainly)

Donna:

easties was a bit annoying, dawn talks so slow all the time and she's really quite sickly, the way she goes on about loving jase. they've not been together that long and he's kinda gross looking and grimy and greasy. idk. it's just weird, i can't see them together really and i imagine she'll fall into the willing arms of gary and they'll fall romantically in love. why do they all just date people on the square? that never happens in real life lol, you get sick of the people you see everyday. and billy is such a tard, i kidna feel honey could try and share the work responsibility instead of suffocating billy under expectation and stress. i'm not surprised the poor guy got desperate and went with the break-in job. she's bartended and worked in the laundrette, if billy's having problems finding a job why doesn't she try ffs. pisses me off. especially when she wanted money for this and that. poor billy.

Beth:

Easties was RUBBISH..it just DRAGGED ON AND ON AND ON AND ON. I felt sorry for dawn though..having no one turn up to the hens do but then I felt sad for her because she kept wearing that ugly wedding dress and drinking pink champagne..it's like …dude..you paid like £1500 for that dress, I wouldn’t be drinking ANYTHING around it..or let anyone drink anything around me..bah..tis only acting though innit lol. I always wonder about easties why do they ALWAYS stay in the square..like you were saying about the dating thing. Like when they go out to dinner it's only ever the Vic, that posh place or that indian place. Or the caf. WHY DON’T YOU GO INTO LONDON TOWN FFS? I think bradley is the only character that doesn’t work in the square either lol YET he spends his lunch hour in the vic. LMAO. Sort it out easties!  Billy is weird looking. He looks like a skeleton. I think honey is really pretty though but yeah…she needs to get off her ass and do some fricken work. Put that disabled kid in a creche or something.  Same thing goes for Dawn…why is she hassling Jase about 'the perfect life' when she doesn’t get off her ass and help with the money making? What does she do anyway? 

Donna:

LMAO i loved the whole indian family with their family business, who just ran it from their kitchen and didn't worry about, you know. hygiene standards hahahaha. what a rip off. i love how whenever someone goes off looking for a job it goes like this:

the vic
the caf
the laundrette
one of the market stalls (although they always seem to get strangers to watch them anyway)
the club
the quik-e-mart thing that yolande runs and patrick is too frickin' lazy to do anything with
then, oh well, the world is over, it's off to the vic for a pint with all the money they're not earning...

lmao. honey is gorgeous but omg, i know the whole storyline when janet was diagnosed with downs must have been realistic, and i'm not a fan of babies, but i wanted to slap her. i felt for billy, that baby is adorable, who cares if she's a little less than perfect, who's to say what IS perfect. i wanted to smack her around bigtime and cause that woman serious damage for wanting to give a mentally handicapped child up for adoption just because she wasn't *perfect*. holy cow did i hate it then, i actually stopped watching it around that time. i stopped watching it when keif and his gross wife were still in it. benefit scroungers.

i think dawn is a full time mummy and ponces around in her house in stilettos and a nice frock. just a question, do you ponce around your house dressed up like you're going to a movie premiere and clump around in high heels constantly. it's so unrealistic. why aren't any of them complaining when someone's done a poo and stuck out the bathroom? where are bare feet and socks? and why do people pay for a taxi into london when they're in fooking walford and could get there on the tube for like, £2.50 i think it is. cab costs ten squid. ridiculous. why is peggy always going away for a "nice relaxing break" when she does jack all? lol. /rants.

lol love her!!
