Marie passed her driving test today. It's great that I don't have to drive her around anymore. It's even better that she did it all herself and it has given her another confidence boost. So, I'm dead happy for her. She got straight into the car after the test and drove herself to work. There was an article in the paper the other day saying that it was really hard to pass the driving test in Belfast compared to the country test centres and that Marie's test centre had the lowest pass rate. She was the only one of four people to pass in her time slot. Lucky girl!
For those of you who don't know...the learners begin with an "L" plate to show they are Learners and then change to an "R" plate showing that they are restricted drivers for 1 year after they pass the test.
Dad's on holiday at the moment so I took these photos for his benefit really but it was funny to take the mikey out of Marie too. I took some videos too but haven't put them up yet. Might do that later.
*No photos sorry! Marie made me get rid of them...lol.*

New Boy Bands!
I'm so happy...lol. I found a new korean boy band that I am loving! They are called Big Bang. I don't know much about them yet but I am loving as much as I know...hahaha.
The next group is a group I already knew about but didn't have any of their videos. Now I have!

Unemployed Again!
Life sucks sometimes...that's what people say. For me I think it sucks ALL the time.
I was offered a job with another politician and was really excited about the opportunity but it has all fallen through because he offered me a really poor salary even though he had promised to pay me more than I was getting in the temporary job. I was unhappy with the offer and he then came back to me with a "better" offer which was still less than I was getting in the other job. So basically in the end I turned the job down.
So I am back to being unemployed and miserable. I could have been searching for jobs but thought this job was going to go ahead. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! It was very silly of me to believe it all and not ask more questions at the time. I suppose at least I have learnt something from it. Unfortunately it is still an ongoing saga because he is a friend of the family so it is much worse.
Also I am single again! I broke up with the guy I was seeing because I wanted to be on my own and be single for a while. I starting seeing this guy just after I had recovered from the breakup with my ex from Japan so I had no time to just breathe and be on my own.
Hopefully now I will be able to get my head clear. Wish me luck!
