The last year is e-vil...but it'll all be over sooner than you think believe me!

I'm on a year out at the moment doing jobs and courses and stuff: getting some cash for uni! Also looking at going to do Camp America next summer: should be good smiley - ok

I chose friendlywithteeth because it kinda describes me: I am friendly but at the same time, I'm tenacious with my opinions: sinking my teeth in! I'm also called FwT, or Gnashers on 360, which is kinda cool, cos it's where I am the most tenacious with what I believe in...

So how did you come by the name Redz?

FwT/Gnashers/friendlywithteeth!

Redz

a long story really. at primary school i used to get really boredd, and invent people who i would be for the day. one of my favourite was Redz Layonne, a red haired very cool girl, who rode a motorbike and was extremely confident (unlike the usual me). i guess the name stuck, and also in the summer i dyed my hair red for a bit.

Ah, i do hope this year does go quicjly. i'm ill at the moment, flu or something.

Your year out sounds fun!
do u live in the uk?

Sorry to hear that Redz. Get well soon.

FwT lives in Loughborough; I live in Llanelli. And you live in Truro.
I'm not a researcher for nothing, smiley - biggrin though finding out where I lived was a toughie.

I don't know...go away for a while and hte Nog gives away all your secrets smiley - winkeye Just a'jestin': I like in Loughborough [read lugguberugga/luffbra smiley - winkeye] which is Leicestershire, which is in the East Midlands...smiley - erm this could go on for a while, so I'll give up whilst I'm ahead!

My year out will be fun when things actually happen...it's just waiting: which I've never been good at smiley - winkeye

Oh, I be not so bad, thank you FwT. The sciatica is still giving the odd twinge. Next time I'll get someone else to shift the telly.

Anything in the offing for your year out? BTW did your A level results get mucked up like everyone else's?

I'm glad...but what is sciatica [dont have to answer if you dont want to though!]

I've got lots of things in the pipeline....

including.. my tesco job [definite], a casual job at a local special needs school as a classroom assistant [pending CRB check], a 2.5 hrs/week job as a assistant youth worker working with young asylum seekers/refugees [pending second interview...the job I want most out the three!]

Hopefully can do some courses too including Tai Chi, Digital Photography and doing one retake on a geography module: I was 1.4 percent of an a!

Travelling wise, am going to apply for a special needs summer camp [hoping I'll be OK, I've got plenty of experience...] and have just been offered the opportunity to climb Ben Nevis for works charity of the year...i'd quite like to do it, but I'll have to see what's involved soon!

I didnt get any mucked up: the main board involved [OCR] was my religious studies...which was my strongest subject: not much you can say to that! smiley - laugh

Talk later,
FwT

Sciatica effects the sciatic nerve that runs down the leg. Sciatica mainly gives you serious backache right at the base of the spine.

Your mum has my sympathy, Redz.

Last week was the first time I've had it badly; I could hardly move!

A blue loo brush? Is this conversation taking a turn to the surreal, or am I missing something? smiley - erm

The smilie smiley - cheerup has some blue flowers in it: but some say it looks more like a loo brush [supposed to be a joke smiley - winkeye]

Hope you're feeling better soon smiley - smiley

Ah, now I understand; a combination of colour blindness and the fact I need reading glasses (but don't have any) means I miss fine details.

The back's OK now, thanks. Hope it stays that way.

No need to be sorry, it seems perfectly normal to me smiley - smiley

Sorry my postings are a bit slow tonight; my computer's playing silly b*****s, and keeps refusing to finish loading pages. Then if you go to a page you don't want it loads it no trouble at all. smiley - alienfrown

Must be the gremlins, mutter, mutter
