THERE IS A GOD

To all you people out there who have been stressing and worrying about my lack of job opportunity and success, worry no more someone somewhere took pity on me. What would you normally do with someone who has managed to make so little out of so many opportunities offered to her in sunny Blaen Y Maes, exceptionally talented at causing mayhem and mischief wherever she goes, memory like a sieve, off the wall sense of humour, I could carry on with the list of my attributes but I dont like to blow my own trumpet to much. Well SCVS, my employers, have taken into account my outstanding track record so far and decided to promote me. Yes thats right Owen I did say promote I'm going to be working with Age Concern helping them sort out their problems, whoever said I'll cause more than I solve thats not even remotely funny (hope you are listening Owen)
Off now to see where else I can cause Mayhem and Madness

WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID !!!!

Any of you die hard readers out there may remember several weeks ago when I arrived in Blaen Y Maes in a blaze of glory, so good was the reputation that preceded my arrival that the developement workers were fighting over who was going to get me. To stop the arguements I was divided between three schemes all counting themselves lucky to have got a share of my talents. two months later I was sacked by Owen last monday, services no longer required, cheers Owen I'm still hurting. Maggie took to her sick bed when she heard owen had fired me, obviously thought I'd be with her more often, Julie took herself off to hospital to get away from me so that left me with only the volunteers to look after me For the life of me I don't know what I did but when I returned to the drop In Centre lunch time today I was met with mass mutiny all volunteers walked out, handed me the keys and was told they aint coming back. Was it something I said !!
Now to loose one placement in a week would be a worry, the second one smacks of sheer carelessness but three in seven days oh dear I'm not looking forward to trying to explain this one to the boss.
Personally i blame Owen I think to justify his callous treatment of me he's bribed everyone else to say it is true I am rubbish and they can't develope me any further.
ANYBODY OUT THERE NEEDING A TRAINEE DEVELOPEMENT WORKER THERE'S ONE HERE WITH PLENTY OF TIME ON HER HANDS !!
P.S. Don't ask owen for a reference

QUEUES, QUEUES AND EVEN MORE QUEUES

I am pleased to announce that Oakwood Park has perfected the art of queueing, you now have to queue to join a queue !! Arrived early for my long awaited Girls Aloud Concert, queued to join the queue of other idiots who had bought their tickets over the internet (only about 2000 people) gates open at 6pm only one scanner available to validate all these computer generated tickets. Finally got into park at 6.45 then queued for an hour for our daughters to have chicken & chips, I was prepared to starve so we could get a good place to watch but they refused, then waited 45mins while they queued for megaphobia, then another 30mins cos I wanted coffee. We were all cold, fed up and p****d off by this point but I kept reassuring them it'l be worth it, ha ha ha famous last words. 9 o'clock came & went, frostbite had set in, tempers were carefully being held in check, mutterings were heard whose bright idea was this anyway (mine, mine, mine) then at 9.30 some would be warbler sang 3 songs & legged it off stage quicker than you can blink, 9.50 signs of life 3 cars arrived & finally at 9.58 they appeared on stage, not bad really especially when you consider that the park shuts at 10pm !!! £27.50 per ticket what a rip off, they sang & mimed 7 songs, we saw a few minutes of fireworks & were back in the car by 10.4. WAS IT WORTH IT ? YOU BET IT WAS, WILL I BE THERE NEXT TIME,OF COURSE I WILL ONLY THIS TIME I'LL BE FIRST IN THE QUEUE !!!!

RE : AIR CONDITIONING

I must confess I lied on the previous epilogue, I do have air conditioning unfortunately it only comes on when I switch the engine off. Managed to get the radio tuned in to one station, is there anyone out there who could give me a few quick lessons in Russian, at least then I may be able to understand what they are broadcasting.
I'm off to see Girls Aloud in Oakwood Park Saturday, I'm so excited I cant wait. I've bribed my youngest daughter to tell all the family she wants to see them, unfortunately she was brought up in the Christian faith and says honesty is the best policy and £20 bribe just isn't enough to tell a lie that big !!!!
Must dash I've got to practise my dance steps !!!

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE SUN IS ???

My life is very wet and very sad at the moment, all weekend I've worked outside in the rain feeling very sorry for myself. It didn't help when I arrived home sunday wet and be draggled to hear my son mutter nice hair do mum !! He obviously had forgotten its his birthday in 3 days time, his chance of getting a nice present now is virtually nil. Monday morning I set off for work, got stuck in horrendous traffic jam, arrived stressed, drove all the way to Banwen to be told by Owen he didn't see the point of me being there. I hope you are feeling guilty Owen I know Claire begged you to let me stay with you both longer than the end of this month. Got a bit wetter then as I sobbed all the way back to Blaen Y Maes (do you feel even a little bit guilty Owen) god I'm going to make you suffer until the end of July. I've got 5 children to deflate me and hurt my ego I don't need it in work as well. Just cos I kept asking you to turn the computor on DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID, answers on a postcard please.
Well at least my car was finally ready after 3 very long weeks, I felt quite sad giving back my little hire car I'd got quite attatched to it. Jumped in my car no radio, no air conditioning, no heater, tried to complain but was told people who don't know what they'r doing shouldn't attempt to fix cars. I didn't touch anything thats why I took it to the garage in the first place. War has been declared I;m going back to the original garage first thing in the morning. Must dash now I need to go and find an armour suit !!

WHERE OH WHERE HAS MY LITTLE CAR GONE

Two very long weeks ago my car was towed awy (by the wrong break down agent) to a garage to have a new clutch fitted. Sadly to say it hasn't been seen since !!! Apparently it is now having major surgery in a Citreon specialist garage, last report they had found 62 faults. I never knew there were 62 parts on a car, but on the bright side there are still 4 wheels attatched to it !!! If anyone out there wants to organise a whip round for the repair bill lease feel free to donate, failing that a lift know and again would be greatly appreciated. All I can say is it was a very long walk to Tairgwaith this morning all 14.5 miles of it !!!!

THOSE IMMORTAL WORDS - DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID

Yes that's right I was made to eat my words yet again, I admit it I am stupid I just didn't want everyone else to know it. My car broke down, clutch went, phoned breakdown service to have it towed to garage, your policy has elapsed said the gentleman on the other end of the phone, oh no it hasn't I replied. He was adamant it has you didn't renew it last August, oh yes I did I screeched (into my pantomine act here) I upgraded it to cover me in Europe, do you think I'm stupid do you think I wouldn't know if I didn't have cover. Being a sensible man he ttok the easy option said I'll take your word for it and arranged a new policy for me at no extra cost, then arranged for tow truck to take my car to garage. Tow truck arrived took my car then I phoned my insurance broker and asked him why no policy had been set up last summer, it was they replied if you remember you changed to another agency for your breakdown cover !!!!!!!!!!! Oh dear where exactly is my car, which if any breakdown service is paying, do I have to pay double, answers on a postcard please. My son can't look at me now without whispering "Do you think I'm stupid". We all make mistakes I tell him, yes mum he grins but most of us get it right occasionally. No answer to that is there !!
